According to the Shenzhen Evening News, a female student from Shenzhen Senior Technical School made a profit of more than 100,000 yuan in less than two months as the general agent for the Shenzhen branch of NetEase's classified channel.
He Dongmei is currently studying in the multimedia major of the Information Skills Department at the school. In 2004, when she was in her fourth year, she heard a friend complain about the lack of basketball specialty stores in Bao'an, which inspired her to open a store. With the support of her friends and family, she founded the Shenzhen Bao'an VT Basketball Specialty Store. After more than a year of effort, "a store's monthly turnover reached more than 10,000 yuan," and she had already opened a second branch.
At the beginning of this year, He Dongmei accidentally saw an advertisement online that NetEase's classified channel was recruiting agents. After several twists and turns, including transferring half of the two stores to a friend, He Dongmei managed to gather enough money for the agency fee. In October, the Shenzhen branch of China NetEase's classified channel was officially established. Within two months, He Dongmei built the website, attracted advertisements, developed telemarketing, and began constructing an online mall. She has now hired more than 70 salespeople, acquired over 300 customer resources, and made a profit of more than 100,000 yuan.
