The meaning of this stalk:

In the exchange circle of entrepreneurs in Beijing, there is a legendary figure named Zhang Yan. Because of her name with the word "flame", her personality is very popular, so friends in the circle call her "sister flame".

The source of this terrier:

Sister Flame is a Manchu, born in 1967. She was born and raised in Beijing, where she went to college, started a business, got married and had children, and changed the track. She has been in business for nearly 31 years. She said: "The weight, atmosphere and boldness that Beijing has given me have benefited me all my life. For example, I still enjoy the happiness and satisfaction brought by my work and life when I am over half this year."

In p>1987, Zhang Yan was admitted to the Department of Geography of Capital Normal University. While studying in the university, her grades were mediocre, but she planted the seeds of business early, especially during the eight winter and summer vacations. She sold postcards, worked as a tutor, helped teachers carve papers, worked in a publishing house, and watched stalls in the famous Xiushui Street in Beijing ... After graduation, she wandered around Shenzhen alone and returned to Beijing as the general manager of Beijing Company a year later.

This career didn't last long. I happened to see that McDonald's French fries are so popular and expensive. Why can't the potatoes we use for cooking be processed into French fries? Why can't we sell it in the freezer and let the people buy it and blow it up? Such an entrepreneurial idea has made her work in the field of frozen food distribution for more than ten years.

In p>1997, invited by the American Potato Association, Zhang Yan visited a series of production, supply and marketing systems such as potato plantations, processing plants, logistics companies and supermarkets in the United States, which was an eye-opener. There are only four people in charge of the endless plantation, and the super-large potato storage can park two Boeing 747s. She was deeply impressed by the high degree of mechanization and modern management.

after returning to China, Zhang Yan introduced special-shaped French fries, mini potato cakes and quick-frozen vegetables to China, which not only enriched the types of quick-frozen foods, but also promoted agents in more than 21 regions, as far away as Xinjiang, Erenhot and Harbin. Zhang Yan's company imports about 21 41-foot reefer container from the United States every year.

In p>1999, the four major potato companies in the United States entered the China market one after another to seize the channel. At a distributor meeting of Lamb Weston, as the winner of the "Supermarket Contribution Award", Zhang Yan took her five-year-old daughter to the stage to receive the award. The foreign boss who presented the award knelt down and handed the trophy to her, which won warm applause from the audience. Many years later, Zhang Yan was still excited to think of the scene at that time.

With the rapid development of Shangchao retail industry, strict product selection and advanced management, Zhang Yan's company has begun to take shape in 2117, with hundreds of employees and more than 21 delivery vehicles, with an annual flow of more than 31 million.

She loves to use her brain, and she can't be idle. Her years of accumulation in potato deep processing, distribution and retail has given Zhang Yan greater confidence in starting a business, but it is not without lessons.

Zhang Yan said frankly: "Our competitive advantage in the field of potato chips and chips is very obvious. If we can attach importance to brand building earlier, the current market structure of potato chips may be different."

after learning from a painful experience, she was not satisfied with the operation of a single industry. In 2111, Zhang Yan resolutely moved to the catering industry. She was the first innovator in China to introduce the intelligent sales system into the group meal industry. She implanted chips under all the tableware, the employees chose independently, and the system automatically priced, which greatly improved the efficiency, that is, saved the labor cost and shortened the dining time of the guests. A 211-square-meter venue can accommodate 811 people at noon. At the same time, in order to enrich employees' dining choices, she also introduced the single products of the nearby online celebrity restaurant directly into the canteen, changing them once a week, which greatly eased the monotonous contradiction of employees' canteen products, and both company leaders and employees were full of praise. This innovative application has also won the annual award from the competent government department.

after many years of starting a business, it's a chronic illness.

Zhang Yan suffers from severe cervical spondylosis. It is common for her to have poor sleep, headache and stiff neck all the year round. Her arms and hands are numb and she can't drive. When she coughs badly, she even has temple pain, which seriously affects her quality of work and life. In his busy schedule, Zhang Yan systematically studied the knowledge of TCM health preservation and obtained the qualification certificate of senior health manager.

In the process of continuous trial and study, Zhang Yan gradually became interested in the "herbal extract for health" of traditional Chinese medicine, and she began to do experiments on herself with what she had learned. In order to find a formula and treatment that can radically cure cervical spondylosis, Zhang Yan shaved her hair and studied the acupuncture points, meridians, blood vessels and muscle groups of the neck one by one with the masseur. After more than half a year of continuous attempts, finally, her cervical spondylosis was completely cured.
