I have a deep feeling in the years of starting a business - the most important thing in success is persistence.
I am a typical case. In 2007, I quit my job with an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan to work in Taobao. In the first few months, I sold porcelain and my monthly income was only a few hundred yuan. I often had to rely on my wife to support me. She is an office worker and has worked very hard. I persevered with my lofty ideals and commitment to my wife.
In the early stages of starting a business, many fans would leave me messages on Weibo to tell me about their pain - no funds, no source of goods, no experience, no credibility... I don’t know how to do Taobao?
My answer is:
There are many opportunities on Taobao. As long as you study more and learn more, you will gradually become familiar with many of Taobao’s knowledge content, rules and gameplay, and discover opportunities. If you don't learn, you won't recognize it even if the opportunity arises.
When you start working on Taobao, you will have no improvement. You will have to think of many ways to make yourself live due to life. At this time, you will become more diligent, smarter, and stronger will.

The key points I marked when I was studying
At the same time, I will also comfort them that if they reach a very difficult stage, they just need to persevere a little more and they can get out. Because I am like this, I was almost forced to go to work, but I persisted for a few more months and found that I knew better about business and more professional about Taobao. Whether it is marketing or operation, I have gradually found the way, and my business has gradually improved.
Later, I created several Wangwang groups and worked hard for several months, and gradually found that there were many business opportunities. Because after the ranking of Wangwang group is improved, there will be many opportunities for exposure, such as the homepage recommendation of Wangwang group, I have been working hard for half a year in the top 3 in Taobao, and as a result, hundreds of people want to join Wangwang group every day.
My business has improved, and the Wangwang group has also accumulated a lot of popularity for me, and many great people often come to me, such as big sellers, Taoda teachers, etc.
Opportunities are always for those who are prepared. Finally, in 2009, an opportunity appeared, that is, the gang. A Taoda teacher who met me through Wangwang Group recommended me to be a gang because they could see it clearly than me. Out of trust in him, I worked in a gang without hesitation, and I spent more than three months to finally make the gang ranking first at that time.

This is the offline event of the Shanghai Home Gang in 2008
In more than three months, the number of members has reached more than 8,000, and hundreds of people join the group every day. I immediately diverted people who joined the group to the gang, and soon the gang ranked first.
Because there are many people, the gang will be recommended, and a virtuous cycle will be formed, and there will naturally be more people joining the gang every day. Later, I started to do online activities in gangs, help merchants do promotions, etc. Gradually, the gangs can make profits, so I have another way to make profits.
In 2010, the waiter of Koubei.com learned that our gang was very good, and it was a Shanghai gang - Shanghai Home. Koubei.com was about to expand the Shanghai market at that time, so he joined forces with us to start offline tasting activities. They gave a large number of free tasting opportunities to the gang. We held more than 20 offline tasting activities that month.
Without them back then, there would be no old Gao today
Many Taobao friends in Shanghai have learned about us through these activities. I have also been entrusted by Kou Word Network to manage Shanghai cities. Shanghai Home's event promotion can also be displayed on the homepage of Kou Word Network. Gradually, Shanghai Home gained recognition and support from many Shanghai Taobao friends through offline activities. At that time, the gang could have tens of thousands of IP traffic every day.

From Shanghai Home to now Laogao e-commerce circle
Later, we joined hands with well-known lecturers in Shanghai to organize a lot of free online business training, which was full every time. Various other activities have also been held at the request of many Taobao friends, such as dinner parties, training, KTV, mahjong, travel, etc. Therefore, Shanghai Home was rated as one of the four most influential online business organizations in the country.
As the gang becomes more and more popular, the big sellers in the gang are also growing rapidly. Some sellers with sales of 10 million yuan proposed a high-end organization, so Laogao E-commerce Club (formerly known as Shanghai Crown Club) came into being. We adhere to the principle of allowing sellers to truly benefit, and have been recognized by many online merchants, began to develop rapidly, and accumulated super high popularity!
Have you noticed that during the entire process of starting a business, the most core link is the gang . The gang has allowed me to accumulate connections and popularity, so that I can have the conditions and the foundation to build a Laogao e-commerce club, otherwise everything will be empty.
Until now, I am very grateful to the gang product, because there is no Lao Gao without gang. The gang started in 2009. Many people are still benefiting from the people who work with me and do well. Some have successfully made online stores golden, some have also been doing well in group buying, some have also done well in e-commerce media, and some have done well in service providers.
Gangs have created many people like me, and have helped us accumulate original capital. On this basis, everyone has the opportunity to play at will. I can responsibly say that without gangs, there would be no me now. Thanks to Taobao, and thanks to the gang waiter.
