For the past two months, e-business sophomore Chen Yu, along with five of her classmates, has been assembling a business plan detailing location, interior design and equipment for the first of 50 chain stores in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
But this is no classroom rehearsal – Chengdu Vocational and Technical College (CDVTC) selected these students as part of its pilot training course focusing on management and nutritional sciences.
The fruits of their labor? Actual fruit, sold in the flagship Fruit Life store on Jinfeng Road, Qingyang district, a shopping street with heavy foot traffic. Chen was selected as the first shop's manager on the college's recommendation, due to her passion and her business background.
"The program is to help students start their own business while bringing healthy living to the local community. At the same time, it also helps provide a new market for local fruit farmers," explained Wang Hong, chief manager of the Sichuan Yuwang Ecosystem Agriculture Development, the chief investor in the store. The company invested 300,000 yuan ($43,949) into the first store, accounting for 40 percent ownership; 40 percent belongs to students from the college, and the rest 20 percent is used as rewards for excellent managers and staff, according to Wang.
In the 150-square-meter shop, "fruit doctors" will provide "prescriptions" for customers according to their health, work and living habits. The shop is also equipped with machines to check for pesticide residue to better ensure the safety of the fruit sold.
"Chinese gooseberry, lemons, pears and red grapes. These fruits are good for brainpower and improving immunity," Wang said. The shop offers both fruit slicing and juicing services, and eager consumers can enjoy their purchases at the store's fruit bar.
Chen puts in over 10 hours a day. Since she often leaves work too late to catch a bus, she ends up taking cabs home. To make up the money she loses on transport costs, she once ate instant noodles for two weeks straight.
"Whenever I see instant noodles, I feel sick," she said, "But if I start feeling down, I just tell myself that I'm starting my business, and I cheer up again." As an e-business major, "I'll use what I learn here to build an online shop for the store to further explore the potential market, " Chen said.
Their hard work has garnered support from the local community.
One day, a customer arrived after hearing about the store in the local media and bought 12.5kg-fruit at worth of 150 yuan. "I reminded him that it's difficult to keep so much fruit fresh," Chen said, "He said he had also started a business after graduating from a local vocational school and was coming to support us. Hearing that, I was touched."
According to Wang, the shop brought in 30,000 yuan on its opening day of February 27.
"These students are very bright, hard working and have the passion to run their own business," Wang said, "They'll learn fast through this opportunity."

过去两个月来，电子商务大二学生陈宇与她的五位同学一直在进行一项商务活动计划：为四川成都首批50个水果店的选址、内装修以及配套设备进行详细的策划。但这并非是一次教学室内彩排，而是必赢优惠y272net（CDVTC）精心挑选的部分学生所进行的管理与营养学培训课程的一个组成部分。他们的劳动果实是什么？实际上是水果：这样的水果在位于青羊区金凤路，繁华的商业步行街果味人生旗舰店销售。
根据学院的推荐，陈宇以其创业热情与从业背景，被挑选为首家商店的店长。四川禹王生态农业发展公司老总，也是该项目的总投资人王鸿解释说：“这个项目旨在帮助学生创业，为社区提供服务。同时，也为当地的果农提供销售渠道。”王称：该公司对第一家店铺共投资30万元（合43.949美元），占40%的股份，另外40%的股份则属于来自该院的学生，剩余的20%用于对优秀管理层及优秀员工的奖励。在这家150平米的店铺里，“水果大夫”将根据消费者的健康、工作与生活习惯“对症下药”。该店还配备了相关设备检索杀虫剂残留物，以确保所售水果的安全性。
王鸿说：“中国茶蔍子（醋栗）、柠檬，以及红葡萄酒均是健脑养身的佳品，有助于改善人体的免疫力。”该店既提供水果拼盘，也提供水果汁。同时热心的消费者也可在水果吧购买水果产品。因为陈宇每天工作10个小时以上，常常很晚才下班，以至误了公共汽车，就只好打的回家。为了弥补交通费用的损失，她曾连吃了两个星期的方便面。她说：“每当我看见方便面的时候，就想吐。如果心烦，我就对自己说，我在创业，于是就重新振作起来。”作为电子商务的学生，陈宇说：“我要把我在这里所学的用来开设一家网店，供本店进一步拓展市场。”他们的努力获得了当地社区的支持。有一天，一个消费者通过媒体听说了这家商店，后来赶来一气买了12.5公斤的水果，价值150元。陈宇说：“我提醒他说要为这么多水果保鲜还真不是件容易的事。”他说：“我从一家职业学校毕业后就自主创业，这次是前来给你扎起的。”听到这话，我很感动。据王鸿称，该店2月27日开业的第一天就狂赚了3万元。他说：“这些学生脑袋很够用，肯吃苦，又有创业激情。他们通过这个机会一定能学得很快的。”
