Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Afterwards, President Liu and Hao Qiang had some polite conversation.

Dean Liu finally got to the point. He said:

"Well, I heard that you started a business outside of school and that your business is booming. I'm very curious.

The school's policy is to encourage qualified students to pursue entrepreneurship. I'd like to learn about your own entrepreneurial experiences."

Hao Qiang thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Dean, I was just playing around.

To be honest, I am personally cautious about starting a business while students are in school and do not recommend it.

Due to the lack of social experience, the possibility of failure is indeed very high, which may cause the parents' hard-earned money to go down the drain.

Therefore, I believe that students should experience more social hardships after graduation and consider starting a business when the time is right.

Of course, for those students from wealthy families who are willing to spend money to gain experience, I won’t say much.

Dean, I'm only a freshman, so my opinions may not be mature."

Hao Qiang could see the confusion in Dean Liu and Qin Jian's eyes and continued, "My parents are farmers, and most of my startup capital was earned through my own hard work. Starting a business involves a lot of gambling and impulsiveness.

Of course, in order to open this hot pot restaurant, I started preparing during the holidays, researching the market, and personally developing the hot pot base, doing a lot of work.

The business was not optimistic in the early days. If it were not for the strong support of my classmates, I would probably have lost money.

The barrier to entry in this market is low, and the competition is fierce. I’m not sure what the future holds, but I just hope to recoup my investment soon.”

Hao Qiang's sincere words surprised Dean Liu and Qin Jian.

They originally thought that Hao Qiang's startup capital came from his family support, but they didn't expect that he was actually from a peasant family and earned it entirely by himself.

Hao Qiang didn't say specifically how he made his first pot of gold, and they were too embarrassed to ask, but it must have been quite impressive.

What impressed the two was that Hao Qiang was restrained and completely different from most successful young people who were arrogant.

He is humble, low-key, and a person who really gets things done. He is more like a businessman who has been in business for many years.

Dean Liu said with emotion: "Xiao Hao, your down-to-earth attitude towards work is admirable, and your entrepreneurial story has deeply inspired me.

Just as you said, entrepreneurs must be fully prepared in all aspects, including being mentally prepared for failure. This is also a very good experience guide for students to start their own businesses.

It is not easy for you to persevere under such difficult circumstances and achieve certain results.

I believe that you have not only learned a lot of business practice knowledge in this process, but also laid a solid foundation for future development. I am looking forward to it."

"Thank you for the compliment, Dean. Starting a business is indeed difficult and tortuous," Hao Qiang said modestly.

Next, the two sides talked about many topics.

Hao Qiang consulted the dean about some cutting-edge directions and domestic development difficulties of this major.

After feeling that the conversation was almost over, Hao Qiang shook hands with the dean again and left the dean's office.

Overall, Hao Qiang gained a lot. He got to know Dean Liu and learned some experience from him.

Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, Hao Qiang planned to leave school.

Came to the carport, ready to ride away.

He bent down and squatted to unlock the car, but he found that there was an extra chain on the car, tying the rear wheel to the iron bar of the carport.

This time, he definitely won't be able to push his car away.

I couldn't help but frown and complained:

"Damn, who is so kind!

Put a lock on my bike!"

He looked around at the students around him and didn't see any suspicious looks. Most likely, they had parked the car not long ago in the morning and then locked it for him.

"Damn it, it must be intentional!"

Recently, Hao Qiang found many notes from people trying to get to know him under the saddle of his car. He guessed that most of them were from girls.

He usually threw them in the trash without replying to any of the notes.

How dare I mess with girls again? Don’t you think it’s troublesome enough?

If you want to offend, then offend.

As a result, perhaps the girl who received the note found out that he threw the note into the trash can, so she actually added an extra lock to his bicycle!

Damn, do you hate him that much?

Of course, this is just Hao Qiang's guess.

Hao Qiang calmed down and showed a playful smile.

In fact, he was not very angry, just a little helpless.

Fortunately, it is a chain, which can be pried open with needle-nose pliers. If you have industrial bolt cutters or steel bar cutters, it would be even better. With a "snap", you can directly cut the chain.

Thinking of this, Hao Qiang left the campus to look for tools.

I happened to see a hardware store, so I offered the owner a cigarette, chatted with him, explained the situation, and then paid a deposit to borrow an industrial bolt cutter.

If the blade is chipped, you'll definitely have to buy it.

Hao Qiang returned to the carport again. On the way back, the students saw him holding a pair of pliers and were a little curious.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound.

Sure enough, the chain was not resistant to cutting and was cut in one go.

Hao Qiang seemed a little unhappy, and cut the middle of the chain again. The chain broke and split into two sections on the ground.

I looked down at the bolt cutters in my hand and found that the blades were still not worn at all.

"hey-hey!"

Hao Qiang felt somewhat proud, thinking to himself that the student who had locked his car must have been thinking when he saw that his chain had been broken into two parts.

I have to say that the quality of these bolt cutters is quite good. Hao Qiang plans to buy them since they only cost a few dozen dollars.

Just now, two security guards passed by the carport and saw the whole process of him cutting the chain.

"Hey, little brother, you have all the tools. Come with us to the security room."

Hao Qiang suddenly heard someone talking to him. He turned around and saw two middle-aged security guards. One of them said to him playfully.

It seemed that the two security guards mistook him for a car thief.

He was not in a hurry, he explained calmly: "Uncle, this car is mine, someone locked my car as a prank, this steel lock is mine.

Can you believe me when I say this?"

To prove his innocence, Hao Qiang took out his car keys, waved them in front of the two security guards, and opened another lock.

The two security guards saw it, but the middle-aged security guard who had just spoken to him insisted, "Young man, you'd better come with us. We didn't accuse you of stealing the car. We just came to the security office to have a cup of tea and register."

Looking at Hao Qiang's appearance and clothing, they found he didn't look like a car thief at all.

However, the bolt cutters in his hand aroused their vigilance, and that was a different situation.

The security guard doesn't want to wrongly accuse a good person, but he will never let go of any suspect.

Recently, students have frequently reported to them that their bicycles have been stolen.

Therefore, it is better to catch someone by mistake than to let him go.

"Fine!"

Hao Qiang locked the car again, took the pliers, and left with the two middle-aged security guards.
