I wrote 120 delivery notes in 15 years in the coldest town in China
On the land of China, there are countless Li HE Tuber Tianyus. Like cacti, they take root and grow in inconspicuous corners. With resilience, they break out of their own world and protect their hometown.
Huzhong Town in the Daxinganling Mountains of Heilongjiang Province is known as the "coldest town in the country". At the coldest time, the temperature reaches below minus 50 degrees Celsius. Dong Feifei is a native of Huzhong. In her memory, her hometown was "in full swing" when she was a child. There were many people in the town. The villagers were logging, the saws were sounding, and her fathers would go to the mountains to pick wild blueberries and cranberries. , we also go fishing in the river, and in winter we go hunting pheasants and rabbits. The children go out to hit the ice sledge, climb to the top of the mountain to play, and make snowmen. The days are ordinary and warm.
But young and energetic people always yearn for the outside world. Like some young people, when she grew up, she left the small town and went to the bustling big city to seek life. However, her father fell ill not long after she started working. She was far away from home, so she sent home the money she saved to let her father know that she could make money, which was also a comfort.
The life of working in other places is very restrictive and uncomfortable. She often thinks of the stars in the sky in her hometown, the hares in the mountains, the wild fish in the river, and misses the small town that makes people calm.
Three years later, her father died suddenly, which devastated her. Thinking that she had neither given her parents enough money nor given them good company, she no longer wanted to live a life separated from her family, so she resolutely embarked on the road home to accompany her mother who was alone at home.
But companionship also requires considering real livelihood. How to support yourself and let your mother live a comfortable life? In 2007, she started an e-commerce business and became one of the first local people to engage in e-commerce. She listed the product in her online store and sold one Ganoderma lucidum in less than a week. That day, she was so excited that she stayed up all night.
But the folks don't see it that way. Some people thought that she came back after she could no longer survive outside. For a while, Dong Feifei "felt a little unable to hold her head up." The villagers didn’t understand what e-commerce was. When relatives and neighbors saw her always shipping goods without getting the money back, they questioned whether her business was legal and legitimate. Some people reminded her, “Don’t be fooled.” ".
But she has a tenacity and insists on being an e-commerce business, because "we can all buy things online, and we will definitely be able to sell things." There were many difficulties on the road to starting a business. At that time, she couldn't even change the simple price and asked the buyer how to change it.
"If you don't learn, you will have to be told everything by others, and then you will not understand many things in the future." She kept the buyer's words in mind and plunged into learning.
Since there was no one around her to ask for advice, she searched online and learned bit by bit. It was often only after she understood it that she discovered that such a simple thing had taken so long.
Persistence finally paid off. After receiving the first payment, she took her mother out for a big meal—a bowl of beef noodles—to celebrate the feasibility of starting a business. Along the way, her income gradually increased. She could earn 900 yuan in the first month, 1,200 yuan in the second month, 1,800 yuan in the third month... Later, her monthly income exceeded 10,000 yuan. She said that starting a business is indeed You can make money.
A year later, Dong Feifei's online store has improved slightly. She and her mother moved to Jiagedaqi District, where transportation is more convenient, to continue their e-commerce business.
She offers a higher than traditional purchase price to purchase mountain goods from the villagers, so that their hard work can be exchanged for more income. The mountains and rivers of her hometown are also warming her up. For a while, she had sprained her feet and did not go to collect mountain goods. She thought that her uncle and aunt, who were in poor condition at home, had sold the roses. Unexpectedly, she found out after she went there that the old couple had specially kept them for her. My heart feels warm.
The warmth comes not only from the folks, but also from a note. For 15 years, she kept a notebook of her shipping orders. The store is not big, so she handwritten 120 delivery notes. She thought that when she was old, she would take it out and open it page by page. On it would be the footprints of her entire youth and struggle.
That is the memorial she left to herself and the best proof of her resilience along the way.

I sell zippers in Yiwu and earn 0.001 yuan per piece
In the Internet era, "cactus" absorbs more nutrients, grows rapidly, bursts out with stronger vitality, and writes one oasis legend after another in the new era.
Yiwu, China, is a place where new legends are constantly being staged. There, "Cactus" turned straws, buttons, zippers, toothpicks and other inconspicuous little things into a huge business.
The "second brother" is a "second-generation factory" from Yiwu, and his family runs a zipper business. Once upon a time, his family's zippers were sold abroad and business was booming. Later, due to the impact of the general environment, foreign trade business orders were unstable, coupled with long billing periods and large arrears, the annual sales of zippers declined.
When the "second brother" was almost 30 years old, he took over the zipper factory that his father had founded for nearly 20 years. At that time, he was faced with a "mess" - zipper sales had shrunk significantly, and there were only seven or eight factory employees left.
The factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, but the "second brother" was very resilient and did not choose to close down and change careers. Instead, he "kept this hard work", transformed into domestic trade, and started an e-commerce business.
How to "come back to life"? He thought about innovation. Because he observed that masks were easy to fall off, he designed anti-lost mask ropes made of zippers. Later, he also designed anti-knot ID ropes, anti-knot headphone ropes and other products. Faced with the need for customized zippers for nursing wear merchants, he came up with an invisible zipper solution, winning the trust of customers and an order of 100,000 pieces.
In recent years, "Second Brother" has invested more than 1 million yuan in innovation and obtained more than 30 patents.
But with such a high cost of investment, how much profit can a zipper make? "Second Brother" said that in fact, the cheapest zipper only costs 7 cents, which can make 0.001 yuan.
However, it was such a meager profit that saved this company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. The factory sold 20 million meters of zippers a year, and sales doubled year after year, with annual sales exceeding 10 million yuan...
After the company came back to life, "Second Brother" expanded its production capacity, recruited more than 100 new workers, and the business was booming.
Using small things to make big things happen is the consistent resilience of Yiwu businessmen.
In his opinion, small and micro enterprises will never underestimate a penny.
Now, the "second brother" who is holding on to the family business and helping everyone survive has not only researched the internationally renowned zipper brand YKK, but also has a bigger dream. He wants to turn the small zipper into a brand and become a symbol of quality.
In Yiwu, such cactus-style survival abounds. The profit of a straw is only 0.0008 yuan, a zipper is 0.001 yuan, and 100 toothpicks only make 1 cent... Yiwu bosses have turned these insignificant little things into a big business worth tens or hundreds of millions of yuan.
Yiwu is a city that grows on the market. Here, there are countless examples of getting rich. It is recognized by the United Nations as the World Small Commodity Center, and Yiwu ranks first on the list of China's top 50 richest counties.
This is the energy exerted by cacti.
With fertile soil and sunshine, they will grow brilliantly. Looking up at the stars, countless cacti will eventually become a vast oasis and create miracles.
