On October 26, 2023, at the finals of the first Lianshang Roadshow Competition, a figure dressed in beautiful flowers attracted everyone's attention. As her name suggests, sweet and vibrant. She is Tian Tian, the founder of HSBC's flower brand. Standing on the stage, she was beautiful, generous, sunny and confident, sharing her entrepreneurial ideas and the fragrance and hardships that accompanied by flowers along the way. With practical actions, it is explained that no matter how far the road is, if you go down, you will be able to reach it;No matter how high the mountain is, if you climb up, you will definitely be able to reach the top.
A bouquet of flowers, a story", this is Tian Tian's entrepreneurial creed, in her opinion, each bouquet of flowers contains a sincere emotion, with a bouquet of flowers as a clue, connecting everyone in the story, so that the silent flowers express the most touching words, whether it is a red rose for a lover, or a flower basket to congratulate a friend on the opening of a good fortune, all belong to their stories to tell love, all represent the deep emotions and pious wishes between people. She hopes that through her flowers, more people can boldly and truly express their emotions and pass on love. Let this love be endless, warm the society.
Because of romanceChoose Dalian
In 2000, 17-year-old Tian Tian came to Dalian alone from her hometown of Dandong Kuandian.
For her, the number one reason for choosing Dalian was its location. Dalian is close to her hometown of Dandong Kuandian, where she can see the mountains, see the water, and remember the nostalgia. So that she can feel a trace of kindness and warmth in an unfamiliar city. This distance is a kind of comfort for the soul.
More importantly, when she first set foot on the land of Dalian, she fell in love with it, the beautiful and clean urban environment, as well as the fashionable and romantic atmosphere of the streets and alleys, all deeply moved her, and also made her understand that this city is a stage for her life to pursue her dreams and future.
The industry is set to bloom and sings all the way
I think it is a dream of mine for a girl to be able to deal with flowers for the rest of her life", Tian Tian recalled happily when asked why she chose the flower industry.
When she first arrived in Dalian, she worked as a saleswoman in a flower shop in Dalian's Liberation Square. In this year, he worked hard and was positive, and became a leader in the industry. In this period of work experience, she not only gained valuable experience, but also greatly improved her personal ability, and also drew a strong stroke in her life, laying the foundation for the future entrepreneurial road.
However, for Tian Tian, who has big dreams, of course, he is not satisfied with working for others. So, a year later, after a long period of deliberation, she decided to challenge herself to open her own flower shop in Dalian, so that she could step on a higher step and see the scenery farther.
At that time, she had great ambitions, but faced the dilemma of lack of funds. At that time, the rent of a shop was 8,000 yuan a year, which was a lot of money for her. She thought about it for two nights. In the end, she made up her mind, scraped together the 8,000 yuan, and resolutely took the first step to start a business.
The road to entrepreneurship began in the shop of only 4 square meters on the second floor of the Flower Collection in People's Square, which was the common starting point for her and her friends. With the support of her friends, this small space became the starting point for her dreams, where she used her talents to make a good start for the future with her outstanding abilities.
After the official opening of the flower shop, Tian Tian quickly won the love and recognition of customers with his continuous efforts, enthusiastic service attitude and professional knowledge. Let the sweat engrave the earth, and time will surely bloom brilliantly. In that year, she earned her first pot of gold, 60,000 yuan. This is undoubtedly a great encouragement and affirmation for her.
The road is long and the line is coming. The passage of time has witnessed Tian Tian's efforts and growth. Two years later, what was once a small shop of only 4 square meters has been transformed into two spacious shops. Ten years later, she already has a store of nearly 100 square meters. For her, this is not only an expansion of the area, but also a process of blending dreams and growth, and completing her dreams step by step. All great achievements are the result of continuous struggle;All great undertakings need to be advanced in the past and in the future.
While everything is developing smoothly, Tian Tian has a bigger vision in his heart: to build a flower supermarket, so that each flower has its own display space, so that customers can be surrounded by a sea of colorful flowers as soon as they enter the door. This dream took root in her heart.
Having a dream is an intellect, and achieving a dream is an ability. With Tian Tian's unremitting efforts, finally, her dream became a reality. Today, the HSBC Flower Supermarket in the flowering land of People's Square continues to attract more and more customers with its unique business model, and its sales have also achieved a miracle of leaping from hundreds of thousands to millions every year. Behind such a huge success, Tian Tian's perseverance, infinite wisdom and infinite pursuit of beauty are hidden.
Now I think back to the bits and pieces of the time when I started my business, and I still remember it vividly. Tian Tian felt that the 8,000 yuan at that time became an important turning point in her life, making her change from a part-time worker to an entrepreneur. She proved with her practical actions: those who do not seek easy things succeed, and those who do not take refuge advance. As long as you have the courage to challenge yourself, you are likely to reap more growth and success.
