I'm thinking of starting a business

... in a touristic area, and if everything goes well, might give me a similar level of income as my current one (relatively high for my country) almost immediately, would give me high returns and might even grow fast. I've done some calculations and research, and it seems to be feasible, even though I'm far from expert in any of this.

...在旅游区，如果一切顺利，可能会立即给我带来与我目前的收入水平相似的收入（对于我的国家来说相对较高），会给我带来高回报，甚至可能快速增长。我做了一些计算和研究，这似乎是可行的，尽管我在这方面远非专家。

The thing is, my knowledge of business is limited. I'm not terribly ignorant about numbers and stuff, but I'm just not knowledgeable or experienced (I'm a computer guy, though I do have a little of "third-person experience" and had a veery basic intro to accounting, though I forgot that shit). The initial investment is high and will eat a big percentage of my savings, and half of that would be spent importing some expensive shit from china. Also, if I start this, I might have to leave my job in a couple of months (though that's my goal, because I'm tired of the office politics bs) OR burn some more money to hire someone.

问题是，我的商业知识有限。我对数字之类的东西并不是非常无知，但我只是知识渊博或经验不足（我是一名计算机专家，尽管我确实有一点“第三人称经验”，并且对会计有非常基本的介绍，尽管我忘记了这一点）。最初的投资很高，会花掉我很大一部分积蓄，其中一半会花在从中国进口一些昂贵的东西上。另外，如果我开始这个，我可能不得不在几个月内离开我的工作（尽管这是我的目标，因为我厌倦了办公室政治）或者花更多的钱来雇用某人。

Any pointers/recommentations to learn more about this stuff? What kinda professional should I talk to to help me verify my calculations? Should I not pull the trigger?

有任何指示/建议可以了解更多有关此内容的信息吗？我应该与什么样的专业人士交谈来帮助我验证我的计算？我不应该扣动扳机吗？

Don't count on it. You're going to get rekt as the economy gets worse and fewer people have less discretionary money to spend.

不要指望它。随着经济变得更糟，可自由支配的钱越来越少，你会感到不安。

Now is the worst time to start a business, I've ever seen.

现在是我见过的最糟糕的创业时机。

It would be a EV charging business. There are no charging stations around this area even though it gets millions of tourists during summer (I'm in the southern hemisphere). I have a big sunny land where I can get cheap energy, BUT it's not in a great location, though it's close to a well located road that is surrounded by multiple touristic locations. I could expand later and maybe even build a charging station if things go well, otherwise I could just offer "emergency charge" services (those are expensive). I could use this as a test run.

这将是电动汽车充电业务。尽管夏季吸引了数百万游客（我在南半球），但该地区周围没有充电站。我有一大片阳光明媚的土地，在那里我可以获得廉价的能源，但它的位置并不好，尽管它靠近一条位置优越的道路，周围有多个旅游景点。如果一切顺利的话，我可以稍后扩展，甚至可能建造一个充电站，否则我可以只提供“紧急充电”服务（这些服务很昂贵）。我可以用它作为测试运行。

EV sales grew a lot this year, but I live in a small country, so that's not really much. You are right, though, shit is really bad, and EVs are still too fucking expensive for most people. But I could use this to make things a little bit cheaper in my community.

今年电动汽车销量增长了很多，但我生活在一个小国家，所以增长幅度并不大。不过，你是对的，这真的很糟糕，而且电动汽车对大多数人来说仍然太贵了。但我可以用它来让我的社区的东西便宜一点。

I gotta be honest here: I haven't done any market research. I don't even know how to do that. Just run some surveys? I've been thinking of asking local businesses if they have had clients that owned EVs, and also asking local EV owners directly.

我必须在这里说实话：我没有做过任何市场调查。我什至不知道该怎么做。只是进行一些调查吗？我一直在考虑询问当地企业是否有拥有电动汽车的客户，并直接询问当地电动汽车车主。

My biggest fears are that I don't know shit about the legal parts of any of this, and also that I might end up being scammed by the chinese "providers" (I'll have to do the DD, of course, though I'm not sure how to verify the chargers before shipping) or by electricians, or having to resell the chargers later because things weren't as good as I thought. The initial expenses are basically 90% of the costs.

我最大的担心是我对这一切的法律部分一无所知，而且我可能最终会被中国“供应商”（当然，我必须做 DD，尽管我不知道如何在发货前验证充电器）或电工欺骗，或者后来不得不转售充电器，因为事情并不像我想象的那么好。初期费用基本上占成本的90%。

You can just google how many EVs are in your area. They typically report that when you register a vehicle.You can also call around to the car rental places and ask if they rent out EVs, how many they have, and their availability.

您可以通过谷歌搜索您所在地区有多少辆电动汽车。他们通常会在您登记车辆时报告这一情况。您还可以致电汽车租赁地点，询问他们是否出租电动汽车、拥有多少辆以及是否有空位。

If you're basing your business on tourism, though, you have to take seriously how much travel will be down with so many people being laid off due to AI and the rising prices from the fuel crisis that will emerge from the situation in Iran. Also, are there any barriers to entry? Can someone else in your area see you doing this and copy it? Can a rental car company, dealership, towing company, or larger charging company come in and put you out of business? Because if they can and it's worth it, they will.

不过，如果您的业务以旅游业为基础，那么您必须认真考虑由于人工智能以及伊朗局势引发的燃料危机导致价格上涨，许多人被解雇，旅游业将会减少多少。另外，是否有进入壁垒？您所在地区的其他人可以看到您这样做并复制吗？租车公司、经销商、拖车公司或较大的充电公司是否会介入并导致您破产？因为如果他们可以并且值得的话，他们就会这么做。
