Chinese Young Woman Making Millions of CNY Selling Chinese Chestnut

The girl in action

Full Story

She is only 21 years old, but every night she carries a basket full of Chinese chestnuts and roams around town, especially in the restaurants where many people meet to eat some night time BBQs while their quenching their thirst by drinking some beers(popularly known as "yexiao" in Chinese). In two years time, she has sold more than 30 tons of Chinese chestnuts, and she has been a famous person in the town that she is working.
She goes by the name of Ms. Liu and she lives with her father, her parents divorced. Because her father had some health problems, he wasn't able to help her financially, and when was in high school, she started working part-time jobs to support herself. Most of these jobs didn't satisfy her, and so in 2012, she decided to start her own business, selling Chinese Chestnuts. In the beginning, her boss used to pay her 2.50 RMB(approximately 40 cents US$) for each bag she sells. Later her salary went  10,000 RMB a month(about 1600 US$).
There are many young girls who do the same job, but very few who can generate the same amount. When asked about her secret she said "When you are selling things to other people, you need to be obedient, you can't force somebody to buy, you need to ask what they need first, then when they agree, you can let them taste, this way the client will trust you more and do business with you". For example, tow clients who just bought from her didn't want to buy at first, but after a little a chat with her, they bought. Service is the key, you don't need to force someone to buy, you need to convince them to buy.

How hard is her job?

When people hear her story, they think that her job is very easy, especially when they hear that she is a girl, but to say the truth, her job is really really difficult, the same as any other salesman job out there.

She goes out at 6pm, and she finishes at midnight 1am. All this time she doesn't have time to sit, she walks and stands for the whole time, plus the rude clients make her job much much harder.
Because of the atmosphere of her workplace(most of the people are drunk), she meets all kinds of weirdos. Some people who look down upon her, insult her and many other bad encounters. But she says that she doesn't listen to those people, apart from the psychological and physiological problems, other problems includes carrying and standing or walking for a long time which gives her back and waist pains, she enjoys her job, though. Other challenges include breaking the nuts which injure her tender hands, making her hands look like old woman hands.

Dreams of Being her Own Boss

After working hard for a while, she managed to make enough capital to start her own business, she has planned for a budget and next year she plans to quit her current job to start her own business.
