Makamaka, Vidalia anyezi.
Anyezi wamtunduwu amatengedwa ngati okoma: chifukwa cha kukoma kwake pang'ono ndi fungo lake, anthu amadya ngati maapulo. Osachepera ndi zomwe makasitomala anga ambiri amachita.
Pakuyitanitsa foni - munyengo ya 2018, ndikakumbukira bwino - m'modzi wa iwo adandiuza nkhani ya momwe adazembera Vidalia m'sitima yapamadzi patchuthi. Pachakudya chilichonse, kasitomala wanga ankazunza woperekera zakudya kuti: “Tenga anyezi, uwadule ndi kuwonjezera pa saladi yanga.” Nkhaniyi idandimwetulira.
Inde, ngati mumamukonda Vidalia, ndiye kuti ndinu wake mumakonda...
Komabe, ndisadzitsogolere.
Ndinayamba bwanji? Ine sindine mlimi. Ndine katswiri wa IT.
Ndine wokonda kutchula mayina a mayina
Zingawoneke zachilendo, koma njira yanga osati anayamba ndi lingaliro.
Mu 2014, domain name adagulitsidwa: pazifukwa zina mwiniwake adazisiya. Pokhala mbadwa yaku Georgia, ndikudziwa zambiri zamakampaniwo ndipo ndidamuzindikira nthawi yomweyo. ndipo anasangalala kuwakulitsa. Komabe, zinthu zinali zosiyana panthawiyo - ngakhale ndidabetchapo, zinali zongosangalatsa, ndikulowa ndi chopereka cha $ 2.200 ndikukhala ndi chidaliro kuti chitsekeredwa.
Pasanathe mphindi 5 ndinali mwini wonyada wa VidaliaOnions.com ndipo sindimadziwa choti ndichite nazo.
Pa zizindikiro zanu! Marichi! Chenjerani!
Deralo litatha kulandidwa, ndinayesa kuika maganizo anga pa ntchito zina, koma dzina lake linapitirizabe kugwedezeka m'mutu mwanga.
Zinkawoneka kuti:
... uh-hey... ndili pano..
anali ndi njira yosangalatsa yopangira zilembo - amawoneka kuti amadzilemba okha, ndipo iye (Faulkner) adakhala ngati chinthu chopanga makina. Mawu ake:
"Ndinganene kuti uyenera kuika khalidwelo m'mutu mwako. Akafika kumeneko, adzachita ntchito yonse yekha. Chomwe muyenera kuchita ndi kupitiriza naye, kulemba zonse zomwe amachita ndi kunena. Muyenera kumudziwa ngwazi yanu. Muyenera kumukhulupirira. Uyenera kumverera kuti ali moyo... Mukamvetsetsa izi, ntchito yomufotokozera imasanduka ntchito yongopanga chabe.” [
Ndimachita ntchito zanga monga momwe Faulkner amachitira ndi anthu ake. Ndimagula mayina amtundu ndi cholinga chowatukula ndikuwapatsa iwo kanthu. Iwo eniwo amatumikira monga magwero a chisonkhezero. Amanditsogolera ku zomwe ayenera kukhala. Ndine munthu chabe kuseri kwa kiyibodi.
Nthawi zina ndimagula pamsika, nthawi zina kwa eni ake oyamba. Koma, monga lamulo, dera limabwera poyamba, ndiyeno lingaliro.
Nthawi zambiri ndimatenga nthawi yanga ndi polojekiti. Njira ya madera ena ikuwoneka yowonekera ngakhale musanagule, ndipo njira ya ena imamveka bwino panthawiyi. Vidalia anyezi ankalamulira anali mmodzi wa otsiriza. Nditachipeza, adapitiliza kundigwadira pambali:
Ndisamalireni, ndisamalireni... Inu mukudziwa momwe, inu mukudziwa chimene ine ndiyenera kukhala
Patatha mwezi umodzi, ndinayamba kumvetsa zimene ankandiuza. Chaka chilichonse ndimagula mapeyala kuchokera kwa Harry & David. Ndinafunika kupanga ntchito yofanana ya anyezi a Vidalia: m'malo mopereka mapeyala kumunda, ndinkapereka anyezi.
Lingaliro siloipa, koma sikophweka kulitengera. Sindine mlimi, ndilibe antchito, ndilibe nyumba yolongedza katundu. Ndilibe mayendedwe kapena njira yogawa.
Koma domain idapitilira kundiyang'ana ಠ~ಠ ////kunong'onezana////
Ingoyambani..

Ndinachita zimenezo, pokhala wopusa mokwanira kuti ndiyambe ntchito yovuta kwambiri. Kukula kwa msika kunalungamitsa ntchito yapaintaneti. Google Trends idawonetsa kuchuluka kwakusaka kwamitundu yosiyanasiyana, pomwe ophika padziko lonse lapansi akutamanda "sweet onion caviar."
Choncho ndinayamba ulendo wopanda cholinga kapena mtunda wautali. Ndinangoyamba kuyenda. Popanda Investor wotumidwa ndi Mulungu. Popanda mthandizi. Ndinagwiritsa ntchito ndalama zochepa zomwe ndimapeza kuchokera kuzinthu zina kuti ndipeze ndalama zothandizira ntchitoyi. Inali February 2015.
Nditayamba kuchita bizinesi, ndidapeza komwe kunali komiti ya anyezi ya Vidalia, yomwe imayimira alimi onse omwe amalima mbewuyi. Ndinayamba kucheza nawo: anali okoma mtima kuti azindimvera.
M’kupita kwa nthaŵi, ndinadziŵikitsidwa kwa alimi atatu m’dera langa.
Popeza tinagwirizana ndi wachitatu wa iwo, tinaganiza zoyesera. Kampani yake idakhala pamsika kwa zaka 25: osayang'ana kwambiri zotumizira mwachindunji kwa ogula, komabe idazindikira kufunika kwa ntchitoyi. Kuphatikiza apo, anali ndi msonkhano wazolongedza. Komabe, chinthu chofunika kwambiri chinali chakuti ankalima anyezi amtundu woyamba.
Ndipo tinayamba.
Tidayembekezeredwa kulandira maoda makumi asanu (50) munyengo ya 2015. Nyengoyi inatha ndi oposa mazana asanu ndi limodzi (600).
Pamene mlimi anali kulima anyezi, ndinaika khama langa lonse mu utumiki wamakasitomala, malonda, chitukuko cha intaneti ndi mayendedwe. Izi zisanachitike, ndinalibe ntchito zogwira ntchito mwachindunji ndi ogula. Ndipo ndinazindikira kuti ndinkakonda kwambiri.
Pamene tinkalimbikira ntchito, m’pamenenso tinkakula. Mpaka ochita nawo mpikisanowo anasiya kuyesa kugulitsa anyezi ndi makalata ndi kutumiza makasitomala awo kwa ife.
Tinayamba kuyesa mipata ina yotsatsa malonda - kuyika chikwangwani pa I-95, kumwera kwa Savannah, moyang'anizana ndi magalimoto olowera ku Georgia kuchokera kumpoto; Tidaperekanso ndalama kwa woyendetsa njinga zamayiko osiyanasiyana m'magulu achifundo komanso gulu la basketball lapasukulu zakomweko; Kuwonjezera pamenepo, tinapereka thandizo kusukulu ya pulaimale ya m’deralo.
Takhazikitsa hotline yamaoda, omwe - nthawi ndi nthawi - amatipatsa zogulitsa zambiri kuposa tsamba lawebusayiti.
Inde, tinalakwitsa zinthu zazikulu, zomwe ndi “ngongole” yanga. Mwachitsanzo, tidawononga $10.000 pamabokosi otumizira osokonekera omwe tidayitanitsa kuchokera kwa wopanga sadziwa komanso wosachita bwino ku Dalton (izi zidachitika molawirira ndipo zidatsala pang'ono kundiyimitsa).
Mwamwayi, ndinaganiza kuti tisalole kuti kuwerengetsa molakwika koteroko kuthetse bizinesiyo. Ndipo, kunena zoona, makasitomala athu angakhumudwe kwambiri ngati izi zitachitika. Chaka chatha, nditamuimbiranso kasitomala, mkazi wake adayankha foni. Ndinayamba kudzidziwitsa ndekha, koma anandidula mawu pakati pa sentensi, akufuula kwa mwamuna wake mosangalala kuti: “VIDALIA-MAN! VIDALIA-MUNTHU! NYAMULA PHONE!"
Panthawiyo ndinazindikira kuti tinali kuchita bwino. Chinachake chomwe chimathandiza anthu pamene akusiya chizindikiro chabwino.
Nthawi zina ndimanena kuti ndimakonda cholinga kuposa ndalama. Tsopano, pamene tikulowa mu nyengo yathu yachisanu, ndikuyima pa mawu anga.
Ndipo izi zimandisangalatsa kwambiri. Ndine wokondwa kuti ndinayamba kuchita nawo bizinesi imeneyi.
Ndine Peter Askew ndipo ndimagulitsa anyezi pa intaneti.
