2,000 people from Yiwu Technology and Business College open online store
In fact, many college students have already opened stores on Taobao early, and some relevant school leaders even strongly support and encourage students to start their own businesses online. It is understood that at Yiwu Technology and Business College in Zhejiang Province, more than 2,000 college students have started businesses by opening stores on Taobao, with monthly incomes ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. And Yang Fugang, a junior at the college who is regarded as a treasure by Jia Shaohua, the vice president of the college, has achieved monthly sales of 350,000 yuan by selling cosmetics online, with a net profit of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, and has hired 8 people. Full-time employees, with the rapid development of the company, we will soon recruit 4 students. In Jia Shaohua's view, the case of Yiwu Technology and Business College is not an isolated case, but a good thing with widespread promotion and practical value. "Our practice is a good proof that college students can now not only handle the relationship between learning and entrepreneurship through online entrepreneurship, but also actually solve their own employment problems, and even solve other people's employment problems. It’s a very good thing.”
