My friend Kolka and I decided to earn money in our youth. We were 16 years old at the time. My dad kept his car repair shop, and I offered my friend the remaining spare parts and consumables from the car to sell on bulletin boards. But in such a way that it is not noticeable from the father. In turn, Kolka decided to sell his sister's clothes. Their aunt brought them a lot from Turkey at that time, something was not worn at all. They were so proud afterwards that we now have our own "business".
We quickly "blinded" the first couple of ads: Air filters for the car… I wrote the stamp ... etc. – everything is as on the package. I took a couple of such filters from my father from the service, since they had been lying with him for a long time. To be honest, I didn't really understand technology at that time, but by the look of it, when I looked at the filters, it seemed that they were even unused. In general, the job is done – we are waiting ... Meanwhile, Kolka brought girly tights and a pair of T-shirts. We, the stump is clear, they are also immediately on the board – beauty… We sit and dreamily calculate the profit.
In the evening we watch – my father and Kolka's dad are coming to our house. Both are evil. Then we immediately realized that this was our soul. We jumped out of the window, and they came back through the door and ran after us.
"Stop, Sasha! Stop, you're a young businessman!" my dad shouts. Uncle Lesha (Kolka's father) runs after him with obscene language, taking off his belt on the move. We would have lost it... if it hadn't been for Aunt Zina, who was on her way home from work and was also already aware of our affairs. It didn't work out to escape... we flew in on the "first number"... and our first "business" with Kolka ended almost before it started.
Later it turned out that one of the suppliers, who "mined" spare parts for my father, saw our advertisement for filters on the board, but they were somehow recognizable, not everyone can find them. So he informed my dad, and he already realized on the phone that I had written the ad. And the fact that Kolka is my "accomplice", they "burned" T-shirts with tights... Yeah, you won't envy…
Kolka and I then moved away from the "business" of this for a long time. But my father, so that we wouldn't hang out in vain, attached a car service to himself for the summer, and then work on weekends. That's how we got involved in this case.
Then we studied together as car mechanics, then we got a higher engineering degree. And later, they also took courses for entrepreneurs. As a result, we now have two car service stations and a special equipment rental company. And we will never forget the story of our first "business". Apparently, even then we were strongly gripped by the spirit of entrepreneurship. There will be something to tell the children…
