When you think of a monthly income of more than 20,000 yuan, you must think of a business executive, marketing director, or senior engineer. Xue Among, 25, who has no such high-powered position, is a Taobao shop owner who has earned 600,000 yuan with his wife Liu Liyun, 21, in just two years of business.

This is not a myth, this is known as the "Taobao village" Jinqiu street Wantou village in Boxing County, Binzhou City, Shandong Province, a commonwealth story. Shandong Province and Alibaba Group signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement, proposing to vigorously promote the development of rural e-commerce, the early access to the Internet in the village of Wantou, has become a model "benchmark".

In rural Taobao, villagers play e-commerce, such as rural and ordinary rural differences? Let's unveil this "Taobao village" together.

I woke up with 49 orders waiting to be shipped

Tick tick tick... At 7:30 a.m., Liu Liyun's phone alarm went off. She rubbed her bleary eyes and fumbled to get dressed. A few days ago, Xue Aisong overturned his car while delivering goods and hurt his left foot. Liu Liyun had to cut off an hour of her vacation time to carry the load these days.

The night before, Liu Liyun was busy past 2 a.m., drifting from her bed to her computer. After boot, she skillfully logged on Taobao account, at this time, there have been 5 pages, and 49 orders, quietly "lying" in the delivery.

Order, pick up, pack... Counting the hours, Ms. Liu hurriedly switched on the printer to catch up on some orders before her employee, Shu Xiaofen, arrived for work. At 8 o 'clock, Shu Xiaofen walked into the cabin on time. Picking, packing, packing...

Half an hour later, Xue Among woke up, too. He opened Taobao and rapped his fingers on the keyboard to communicate with buyers. "11861.2 dollars!" Browsing yesterday's sales, Xue Among smiled with satisfaction.

He started at 4,000 yuan and now earns 300,000 yuan a year

In 2013, I accidentally saw the willow Taobao shop of Bay Head village in Taobao. Xue Among, who had walked out of the countryside and settled in Dongying, returned to his hometown with his girlfriend Liu Liyun and his savings of 4000 yuan to start a business.

Want to be different in many stores, and do not want to spend money to promote, store design has to pay attention. Without a design foundation, Xue taught himself PS technology and web design and changed his design irregularly.

In terms of product setup and selection, the couple also has their ideas: pick the best products and process them for a second time to increase profit margins. In the service and store activities, they incorporate young minds.

These little thoughts, soon have the effect. Only spent two years, their "elegant art Shang pin" net shop from the heart of the rookie, the development of two blue crown gold sellers.

So hard to get a good income. In the two years since they started their business, their annual income has averaged around 300,000 yuan. Last year, they bought a house in downtown Dongying worth 600,000 yuan, which cost their parents nothing.

Business is too busy, beautiful dresses in the closet

A thick stack of express orders had been typed up, and it was nearly 10 o 'clock. Liu Liyun on the order form, ready to buy.

In a hurry to wash, Liu Liyun took out a T-shirt and shorts from the wardrobe. "I love shopping for clothes, but I walk around the store all day and I put everything I buy in my closet." Liu Liyun loves beauty like other girls her age, but she has to put away her beautiful dresses for work.

For his wife, Xue Aisong owes a debt. Since starting their business in 2013, they have had few opportunities for leisure and entertainment, occasionally going to the county seat to see a movie, during which they kept in touch with customers by mobile phone. On September 19, they will hold a wedding ceremony, wedding photos or last month took time to the county seat.

Pack up, Liu Liyun rode a tricycle out of the stock. The girl who looks soft and weak before going out becomes a tough woman riding a tricycle to run between the shops.

Around the six stores to pick up the goods took back more than 11 o 'clock, two people do not have to eat, began to discuss the store on the new problems. After the discussion, Xue Among was very distressed to see his wife sweating so much that he asked her to have a rest. Liu Liyun was busy packing.

More than half an hour later, Shu Xiaofeng went home to eat, and Liu Liyun, and was still busy packings, until 1 PM, Liu Liyun did not get up to cook.

Every Spring Festival, the couple's only happy time

At 2 p.m., Liu Liyun and her husband had a quick meal. Shu Xiaofen also rushed back to work. They continued to pack, cut the rough edges of straw, remove ash, box, adhesive tape, and post express orders...

"No more than five naps in two years," Xue said he and his wife enjoy the best time every Spring Festival when the delivery company takes a week off.

Of the 1,700 households in Wantou Village, there are 700 or 800 Taobao shopkeepers like Xue and his wife. Every morning, everyone hunkered down at home to process orders or go to the village to buy products, and by 4 p.m., when it was time for deliveries, the streets were filled with villagers on tricycles.

That afternoon, after picking up another shipment, Liu Liyun also began to send the express. She used a tricycle to transport the goods three times before sending all the goods.

Near 5 o 'clock, Xue Among suddenly received an urgent order, Liu Liyun had to send a trip of goods. It was nearly seven o 'clock when we got home from the last delivery. After picking up the raw edges, tape, and wrapping paper that day, the two didn't have dinner until after 9 p.m.

Immediately after, Xue Among sat again in front of the computer, Liu Liyun also inverted the pruning of all sorts of products He processing... By the time the computer was shut down in the wee hours of the morning, five pages of orders had been generated that day.

After a short five-hour break, they start another day without stopping...
