52 years old, 46 million in debt, what would you do if it were you?
Some people say that in the second half of his life, he will hide **, and he will steal his life.
Others said that they didn't want to drag down their family and friends, so they found a place to leave quietly.
But the protagonist of this issue, Lao Tang, decides to start a new business and pay off his debts.
Let's hear his story:
used to be a catering predator, but now has a debt of 46 million.
The old courtyard of the Tang family and the Tang Fishing Banquet are high-end hotels known to locals in Qingdao.
And these hotels were founded by Lao Tang.
At his peak, Lao Tang chartered a first-class building by the sea to make a restaurant.
At that time, it was the only restaurant in Qingdao that could host outdoor weddings, and the couples who made reservations were lined up from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
The proud old Tang began to pursue the freedom of wealth in life.
He started a garden nursery that he had never touched.
Unexpectedly, the capital hole is getting bigger and bigger, the restaurant, house, and car have all lost a lot, and a huge debt of 46 million is still owed.
The wife and children left, and the creditor demanded the payment. Desperate, Don almost lost his last shred of hope.
But the old mother in her 70s, and some friends, did not give up on Tang.
They kept comforting, encouraging, and accompanying Tang, and Tang decided to start all over again.
Life is zero, and the night market sets up stalls to sell grilled sausages.
At the end of 2017, my mother started making sausages that she had to make every year.
Looking at his mother's busy figure, Lao Tang thought that the cost of grilling sausages is low, the difficulty is not high, and there are many people who like to eat them, so he should not try it again.
Her mother was very supportive of Tang's decision, and she took the 200,000 yuan she received for her pension as Tang's start-up capital.
In the process of setting up the stall, Lao Tang found that the two issues that everyone is most concerned about are that the pork is bought by **, and the other is what kind of pork is used.
Grasping the psychology of users, Lao Tang played the sign of "Brother Tang" and insisted on using fresh pork leg meat as raw materials every day.
One tendon makes one intestine, repeatedly seasoned and proportioned, and is committed to making "thin but not firewood, full of ** juice" fresh meat roast sausage.
Gradually, there were more and more repeat customers, and many new commercial streets also took the initiative to invite "Brother Tang" to settle in.
Short** became popular, live broadcast for 8 hours a day.
If you can sell 500 grilled sausages a day, it will take 7,731 days to pay off the debt, that is, 21 years. ”
It is not easy to pay off 46 million just by selling grilled sausages.
That's when the turnaround happened.
A blogger came to Old Tang's barbecue sausage stall and broadcast live while eating.
Lao Tang chatted with her for a few words, but he didn't expect this ** to become popular.
Many netizens came to Lao Tang's booth, and Lao Tang realized the business opportunities of the short **.
Don, who is in his 50s, began to play short**, broadcasting live for at least 8 hours a day.
He taught everyone how to cook, made grilled sausages live, and occasionally talked about his debts.
In 2022, Lao Tang decided to open a branch in Hangzhou, the capital of e-commerce.
Facts proved that this decision was correct, and less than three months after opening the store, Lao Tang's store appeared on the Douyin hot search list, and the live broadcast sales also increased by leaps and bounds.
A large number of netizens rushed to support Lao Tang, and in him, they saw the strength in facing setbacks.
Writing at the end, I saw some friends in debt, who owed tens of thousands of yuan, couldn't sleep with anxiety, and even wanted to commit suicide.
A 50-year-old uncle with a debt of 46 million still has the fighting spirit to start over.
Why should we be anxious?It's not terrible to be in debt, it's terrible to lose faith and hope.
I hope all the old brothers can cheer up, and I believe that as long as they work hard, they will definitely be rewarded.
