I overcame the skeptics

My big dream right now is to buy a Mercedes car with money I earned myself. That is beyond the reach of most young people here, but as my online business is taking off, I believe that day will eventually come.
My entrepreneurial journey has gone through two stages: the first stage was to convince myself, and the second was to convince other people.
I never thought I could make money via the internet. When I was in high school, e-commerce was relatively underdeveloped in Xinjiang and I didn't know anyone who was involved in it. So, when classmates at college in Anhui province told me people could make money from online stores, I did not take them seriously. Now, of course, it's unthinkable that college students never buy anything online.
