"I often went to class after work with dirty clothes, and some classmates called me a madman. In our startup period, I had several months in which I had only 100 yuan for meals," he said.

Sometimes he had three meals of bread and water. He even saved half the ingredients of instant noodles so he could have two meals.

He didn't tell his parents anything about the hardships, he said. "I only told them good things."

Prospect

With fast development and intense competition online and from B2C companies, small businesses might be in danger of being smashed by big enterprises. But Wang said he's ready for the challenge.

"I think the days when several big enterprises monopolize Internet business have gone forever. Only those enterprises that focus on subtle directions can survive. The best services will never be replaced. We will not become obsolete so long as we can satisfy customers' demands," Wang said.

"In the future, we will focus on exploring students' O2O and C2O fields and develop our service to be an important platform for helping college students establish businesses and get employment."

Wang said establishing a business is not a straight and unhampered road but a maze of passages.

"Sometimes I also got lost and confused, but I never gave up," he said.
