Why does entrepreneurship require persistence?
At noon, I received a call from a member asking about the business version issues. I asked him to contact JASON of Caike via QQ for communication. Not long after, JASON excitedly said, "This member has an annual turnover of 40 million yuan. It seems there are many valuable users on our Caike platform." JASON continued, "This user now wants to buy the Caike Business Edition and is currently testing its features. He sells computers in a computer market where many shop owners are using Caike Online for bookkeeping. They have gradually shifted from traditional standalone software to liking online bookkeeping software."
"Why such a big change?" I asked.
JASON happily replied, "It turns out that the tax department often conducts surprise inspections on computer sellers in the computer market. They check any files on their computers to see if they are evading taxes. Generally, they keep two sets of books: one for the tax bureau and one for themselves. Previously, all accounting data was stored on their own computers. Once caught by the tax bureau, they would be fined. Therefore, they no longer dare to use traditional standalone accounting software or record accounts with Excel or notebooks, nor do they dare to download financial software for bookkeeping because the tax bureau might conduct sudden checks, easily find evidence, and impose fines. So they now start to move their bookkeeping online, particularly enjoying using Caike Online for bookkeeping because the bookkeeping data is stored on Caike Online's servers. When the tax bureau goes to the computer market to check, they cannot find their financial data. This saves a lot of trouble."
Meanwhile, these individual entrepreneurs, wholesalers, online store owners, and small and medium-sized enterprise owners also have many advantages when using Caike Online's Business Edition for bookkeeping. First, Caike Online integrates finance, inventory management, and customer management, making it convenient for customers to centrally manage finances, inventory, and customers.
Second, Caike Online bookkeeping software does not need to be downloaded or installed. As long as you can access the internet, you can use it, and you can even record accounts on your phone.
Third, it is simple and easy to use, yet powerful, capable of handling 99% of bookkeeping needs.
Fourth, even bosses who don't understand finance can easily use Caike Online's bookkeeping software. This is the core difference between Caike Online and products like Kingdee and Yonyou.
Fifth, Caike Online's advantage is the ability to calculate costs and profits. Currently, among similar products in the market, only Caike Online can achieve this.
Sixth, Caike Online has successively launched unique features such as multiple ledgers, sub-users, automatic bookkeeping, and data export, which are very suitable for people running multiple shops. Moreover, choosing to use Caike Online is not only convenient but also cost-effective.
From this midday user, I gained many insights. Entrepreneurship is a tough and lonely process, and many people can't withstand such loneliness. Many people often disappear in the loneliness. Many successful people say that persistence is the prerequisite for success. Without going into great detail, we can see from today's midday customer how important Caike Online's persistence is. If there were no persistence, such situations definitely wouldn't happen. Only through persistence will the number of users grow, the reputation improve, and the market expand. Many unexpected situations will occur on Caike Online, and miracles often happen under unpredictable circumstances.
In fact, during the development of Caike Online, there have been many such cases. For example, a member company has more than 40 employees and also has a full-time accountant, but he still insists on using Caike Online for bookkeeping because he needs to clearly understand each part's monthly expenses and income. An accountant's records cannot tell the boss each month's expenses for each department and person, such as the sales department's travel expenses for the month or the administration department's printing fees for the month. For astute bosses, mastering each detail of expenditure is essential for smooth operation. Therefore, he chose to use Caike Online to record the company's accounts, which is more detailed and clear than an accountant's records.
There is also a paid member of Caike Online's Business Edition who runs a fruit wholesale business with an annual turnover of around 5 million yuan. He collaborates with hundreds of fruit growers. It's not because he can't afford to hire a financial staff; rather, he feels that the functions of Caike Online's Business Edition basically meet his actual needs, so he actively paid for the service as soon as the Caike Business Edition was launched.
First: Simple and easy to use. He doesn't know much about finance and cannot record accounts like an accountant with vouchers, detailed accounts, and general ledgers. However, he finds the bookkeeping function of Caike Business Edition very simple. As long as he can access the internet, he can use it. For example, expenditures are recorded as expenditures, and incomes are recorded as incomes, using a very straightforward method.
Second: Unique sub-user function. He can create sub-users for his subordinate fruit wholesalers, allowing them to record daily revenue and expenditure situations, inventory conditions, etc. He can set different permissions for each sub-user, enabling him to well understand the financial conditions of various wholesalers while preventing them from seeing unnecessary core data. Thus, he can grasp the actual sales and income of wholesalers daily, as well as the inventory situation, allowing him to make correct decisions in time.
Third: Convenient. Caike Business Edition is online and does not require downloading. As long as he can access the internet, he can easily record and check accounts on any computer anywhere. He can also use his mobile phone for bookkeeping and checking accounts while traveling. Compared to traditional financial software, the biggest highlight of Caike Business Edition is convenience.
Fourth: The most important feature is the ability to calculate costs and profits. For individual entrepreneurs, wholesalers, online store owners, and small and medium-sized enterprise owners, the goal of bookkeeping is to calculate costs and profits. Caike Business Edition can directly calculate costs and profits. Currently, among similar products in the market, only Caike Online can achieve this, while Kingdee's YouShang Network, Yonyou's WeiKu Network, and Alibaba Software's QianZhangGui cannot.
According to the initial views and ideas of many people, they superficially believed that the online bookkeeping software market was small, with few people needing bookkeeping, and it was particularly difficult to get netizens to form a habit of bookkeeping. These were the advice given by many friends at the beginning. But I didn't believe in this nonsense. I stubbornly persisted, and after several years, the results and data were the best proof. The results prove everything: the online bookkeeping market is large, and the number of users is enormous. At least, Caike Online currently has 500,000 users.
I think whether it's Caike Online or any website, any project, persistence is needed. Only through persistence can one know the situation. Judging a matter solely based on theory and ideas is definitely one-sided. Only by doing it can one know the result. Only by doing it and persisting can one discover that the road becomes wider and wider.
