上大学的一年半时间,你能做些什么?安庆师范大学体育教育专业的大三学生闫建凡通过开服装店、做微商导师、当健身教练,利用大一下学期到大二的时间,成功赚到了30万元,成了校园里的创业达人。

This is a story every aspiring student entrepreneur should know about. Yan Jianfan, a 21-year-old student who started his own business in his first year of college, has successfully earned 300,000 yuan (US$45,442) so far, becoming an enviable young entrepreneur on campus.

出生于1996年的闫建凡,常被身边的人戏称为“三好青年”——样貌好、身材好、人品好。谈到“创业”经历,他说:“许多认识我的同学都说我很‘励志’,我觉得创业的经历也确实带给我许多改变。”

Yan is currently a junior majoring in physical education in Anqing Normal University in Anhui Province. Handsome and with a strong body, good character and now a remarkable entrepreneurial experience, Yan is often called an "inspirational young man" by the people around him. Despite the praise, Yan is sober-minded and keeps a low profile.

“创业也并不是大家想象的那么简单,不确定因素太多,需要多动脑子,付出很多精力。”闫建凡说。

"Entrepreneurship is not as easy as many people think. It contains too many uncertainties. To be successful, you must exert your utmost brains and efforts," Yan said.

闫建凡从大一开始,就规划着自己在学习之余创业。从开网店到微商导师,从健身教练到服装店老板,闫建凡在各种身份的转换中开始了创业之路。创业初期没经验没本钱,时间有限,在闫建凡看来是最大的困难。大一时闫建凡没有电脑,每天下课后得去网吧打理网店。

In his freshman year, Yan planned to start his own business while continuing to study. He has tried a variety of businesses in the past two years, including opening an e-shop, mentoring micro-businesses, being a fitness coach and running a clothing store. Yan said the biggest challenge at the beginning was lack of money and experience. As a busy student, he had very limited spare time as well. He didn't have a laptop, so he had to go to internet cafes after class every day to take care of his e-shop business.

闫建凡既当店主又是客服,每天耗费三、四个小时来上新服装、更新动态。尽管拼尽全力,但是坚持不到一个月,闫建凡就关闭了经营状况不好的网店,第一次创业失败。关闭了店铺的闫建凡没有气馁,而是寻找新的创业路。平时喜欢锻炼的闫建凡,开始接触保健品代理行业,做起了微商。

As both shop owner and customer serviceman, Yan had to spend three or four hours a day to replenish his supply of goods and update the real-time information. Despite all his effort, the first e-shop ended in failure after only a month. Then, he started to act as a healthcare product agent.

“刚做微商时,每次拿货都缺少资金。为了不让家里人担心,只能自己咬牙过得苦一点,从生活费中省下本钱。”闫建凡每天请教行业内专业人士,查阅资料,学习营销知识,现在,闫建凡已是一名给几千人团队培训的微商导师。

Yan became more diligent and hardworking. Every day, he pored over many books and other information sources, consulted professionals in the industry, and attended marketing-related classes. All these laid a solid foundation for him to become a micro-business trainer for a team of several thousand people later.

在做微商的一年时间里,闫建凡说自己大概挣了20多万元。有了本钱之后,为了积累做生意经验,闫建凡大二下学期在学校附近开起了一家服装店。刚刚进入大三的他,在新学期送了自己一辆红色轿车。

Yan earned a total of 200,000 yuan in the first year of his entrepreneurship. With this, he opened a clothing store near his school in the second half of his sophomore year. To attract more customers, he also sells shoes. Given his good operational ideas and service, the business was promising and he was able to afford to buy himself a red car in his junior year.

他说:“刚把车从学校开回去,家里人都不相信是我买的。”

"When I drove home from school, my family couldn't believe I could afford to buy the car by myself," he said.

闫建凡说:“经过一年半的创业,我发现自己也在不断学习、不断提升。相比以前,我现在做事情更有耐心和毅力。”

Yan said that two years of entrepreneurship has helped him keep on learning and improving. "Compared with before, I'm now more patient and persevering in doing things." 

除了创业,闫建凡还坚持跑步锻炼。喜欢健身的的闫建凡,在大二下学期就考取健身教练资格证,半年前也开始做私人教练的工作。

Yan never neglects his schoolwork. In addition to entrepreneurship, he's also keen on running, playing volleyball and fitness training. In his sophomore year, he passed the examination for the qualification to become a part-time private fitness coach.

他说:“现在每天过得很充实。平时打理我的小店,每周还会去健身房几次做健身教练。”

Yan is satisfied with his current situation, which he describes as "enriched and full." "While taking good care of my store, I go to the gym several times a week to serve as a fitness trainer." 

在了解到现在“90后”每天花大量时间看短视频后,闫建凡觉得社交媒体上的短视频藏着巨大商机。他平时经常跟朋友去拍摄一些有趣的短视频,然后发到各大社交媒体。

Moreover, the young man has recently been obsessed with making short videos, which he believes will have a huge market potential. Now, he often takes interesting short videos together with his friends and sends them to big social media platforms.

热衷于尝试新鲜事物的闫建凡表示,目前并没有长期规划。闫建凡正在为明年的教师资格证考试而做准备。他觉得有个教师资格证在手,未来的职业也就多了一种选择。

Always eager to try something new, Yan said he doesn't have any long-term plans yet. He revealed that his recent goal is to get a teacher's qualification certificate next year, so that he would have more choices in future entrepreneurship.

被人问及毕业后去向时,闫建凡回答:“未来的事谁说得清,还是多去尝试吧。趁着现在年轻多出去闯荡,不要到老的时候后悔没好好努力就行。”

Speaking of life after graduation, Yan replied: "The next thing is hard to tell. I'd better try more and gain more experience. I'd better work hard when young, so that I won't have any regrets when old."
