Ouyang and Wang found that the passionate and energetic student volunteers were full of inspiration and made a good team. So they invested more money in training them and communicating with students.
欧阳斯迪和王京生发现这群充满热情与活力的学生志愿者经常会灵感迸发,善于团队协作。所以他们在培训志愿者和与学生交流这两个方面投入了更多的资金。

But creativity doesn't guarantee commercial success.
但是创造力无法保证商业上的成功。

In the first two years, the company didn't win any sponsors and lost money on nearly every event.
刚开始的两年,公司没有拉到任何赞助,几乎每个活动都亏本。

“The sky was gray for us. We couldn't find a way out. It was very frustrating,” says Ouyang.
欧阳斯迪说:“我们眼中的天是灰色的,找不到任何出路,十分沮丧。”

But after constantly trying, an idea for throwing a Halloween party finally paid off. They got a call from Coca-Cola Co, who agreed to sponsor the event, and for the first time they made money.
但是在一次次的尝试过后,举办万圣节派对的提案终于大获成功。可口可乐公司打来电话表示愿意对此次活动提供赞助,他们第一次尝到了赚钱的滋味。

“I almost cried. From then on, everything became better,” says Ouyang.
欧阳斯迪说:“我几乎快哭出来了。从那以后,一切都变得越来越好。”

More and more companies started asking them to organize activities, including Pearl River Beer, Ricoh and Star Cruises.
越来越多想要组织活动的公司找上门来,其中包括珠江啤酒、日本理光以及丽星邮轮。

Last week the two best friends bought a BMW sedan and they think it's now time to expand the business.
上周,这对死党买了辆宝马汽车,因为他们觉得是时候要扩大业务了。

“Others have begun copying our business model and we're about to launch some new projects,” says Ouyang.
欧阳斯迪说:“其他人开始效仿我们的经营模式,而我们也将推出一些新项目。”

Fingers crossed.
祝他们好运!
