李曉輝說:“之前我沒怎么想過要靠這家店鋪來創(chuàng)業(yè),但現(xiàn)在店鋪生意很好,最多的時(shí)候一個(gè)月可以賺到2000~3000元。”

因?yàn)檎也坏椒Q心工作,許多大學(xué)生寧愿開個(gè)網(wǎng)店以便度過待業(yè)期。由《中國青年報(bào)》社會(huì)調(diào)查中心展開的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查表明,66.9%的受訪者鼓勵(lì)大學(xué)畢業(yè)生開網(wǎng)店創(chuàng)業(yè),同時(shí)有12.3%的人持反對意見。
A low starting line
起點(diǎn)較低
Due to the lack of funds, Ning Meng, a student in Jilin University chose to be a clothing surrogate.
由于資金匱乏,來自吉林大學(xué)的寧蒙(音譯)選擇當(dāng)一名服裝代理。
"We send orders to manufacturers and they will deliver clothes to purchasers. We can get the margin in between," Ning said.
寧蒙說:“我們給制造商下訂單,他們把衣服運(yùn)送給顧客,我們從中賺取差價(jià)。”
"Opening such a shop needs funds, and there is always hidden dangers behind it. If other store keepers place a substantial order, they will have a lower offer. Then it will leave me a small profit," Ning added.
寧蒙補(bǔ)充道:“開這樣一個(gè)店鋪需要資金,而且總有一些潛在風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。如果其他店主下了大訂單,他們便會(huì)壓低價(jià)格,這樣一來留給我的利潤就很少了。”
