『一』What are the inspirational stories of entrepreneurial celebrities?
Liu Qiangdong experienced a failed entrepreneurial venture in college. After graduation, he first worked in a foreign-funded enterprise for two years, serving as a typist, business manager, and logistics supervisor.

The stall was named "Jingdong Multimedia" and mainly sold recording products. Machines and other electronic products. He also spent 500 yuan to buy a second-hand computer and a second-hand tricycle in Zhongguancun Computer City, and started his second business.
In 2000, the unit price of recorders fell sharply, from more than 2,000 yuan to more than 800 yuan. Gross profit dropped from more than 200 yuan a few years ago to only a dozen yuan per unit. Liu Qiangdong decided to transform himself from an agent into a distributor. He successively obtained exclusive agency rights from Yamaha, Ricoh, NEC and other companies. By 2001, Jingdong Mall had become the largest optical and magnetic product agent in China at that time, and had a nationwide presence. More than ten branches have been opened in various places, with annual sales reaching 60 million yuan. Liu Qiangdong positions JD.com as a traditional channel merchant and plans to copy the business models of Gome and Suning to operate IT chain stores.

However, only half a year later, the space was not enough, so the company mobilized to move the warehouse to Phoenix Ridge.
In 2007, Liu Qiangdong invested all the 10 million he had earned before, but there was still a gap of more than 20 million. Liu Qiangdong went to the bank. When the bank saw that Liu Qiangdong had a big warehouse and nothing belonged to him, of course it was impossible to lend him a loan.
In January 2009, JD.com received a joint capital injection of US$21 million from Today Capital, Xiongniu Capital and Asian investment banker Liang Botao. This was also the largest e-commerce in China since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008. The first financing a company receives.
It was also from 2007 that Liu Qiangdong began to recruit people, and the product categories suddenly increased from 3,000 to more than 18,000.
On November 1, 2011, Jingdong Books launched its anniversary event. Liu Qiangdong was ready to do something big. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, the system experienced "the order could not be submitted", "no response after submitting for a long time" and other glitches. . Liu Qiangdong, who is proficient in user experience, waved his hand: within 20 days after the end of this event, book coupons will be issued to all Iron Brand and above members who have not submitted half-price orders as compensation. "I also hope that all book lovers will buy it." . Brother Qiang’s move not only solved the problem, but also won the hearts of millions of users.
On May 22, 2014, JD.com was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in the United States with the stock code "JD", becoming China's first large-scale integrated electronics company successfully listed on the Nasdaq in the United States. Business company, raising nearly US$2 billion.

1. No fire at all: The water pressure may be too low. Or the gas is blocked. 2. It catches fire instantly, but then goes out with a click. It may be due to a malfunction of the gas device that automatically shuts off the gas to prevent accidental flameout. It may be a problem with the probe. Normally, after igniting, the probe is heated and the automatic gas valve is sucked and unblocked. Once it is broken, the gas valve is blocked. It couldn't stop, so, with a click, the engine turned off. E4 is generally an over-temperature alarm or anti-dry boil protection. The temperature of the heat exchange surface of the water heater is very high, and scale will be generated when the water flows. Over time, a lot of scale will adhere to the inner surface of the heat exchanger. Over time, it will cause hot water If the pipeline is blocked, it will cause the hot water output to become smaller (it seems to be a phenomenon of low water pressure) and the hot water output time to become longer. At the same time, a temperature sensor is installed at the hot water outlet, which is the most sensitive place in the water circuit of the water heater. In a narrow place, it is easy for scale to accumulate, causing temperature sensing to lag, causing the water to be hot and cold. In severe cases, it will cause the hot water to overheat and cause flameout. The solution is regular descaling. Buy a gas water heater online without removing the descaler. Use it to inject descaling agent into the water heater and clean the inside of the water heater. The operation is simple and convenient. Clean it regularly after using it.

Everyone can succeed and everyone can create miracles. But in real life, there are many people who fail to succeed or create miracles. There are three reasons:
First, some people dare not even think about it;
Second, although some people They thought about it but didn’t necessarily do it;
Thirdly, some people thought about it and did it, but failed to stick to it.
It must be admitted that Ford is a passionate young man who dares to think and do. The most valuable thing is that he can persevere.

Those who can study hard and practice hard for ten years will definitely be academically successful and outstanding. (Perseverance is the secret to success)
