Zhao Yan, who graduated from East China Normal University, like many teacher training graduates, went to a university after graduation to work as an idle teaching assistant. But in the mind of this 21-year-old young teacher, this situation is not what she wants, and she is always looking for an opportunity. The news that "Hainan established a province and established a special economic zone" is an opportunity for Zhao Yan to wait. Young and crazy, she resolutely resigned from the "iron rice bowl" and went to Hainan with three friends to join the tide of "100,000 sea breakers".
Zhao Yan and her companions, who have just arrived in Hainan, are always paying attention to development opportunities. Finally they found a batch of discarded refrigerators in a factory, which looked good but could not be used because of a malfunction. And due to the withdrawal of foreign capital, the flow of funds was broken, and the factory closed. And these refrigerators have naturally become "waste" that no one pays attention to. Zhao Yan and his companions decided to turn waste into treasure, buy these refrigerators and repair them before reselling them.
They found credit unions, mortgaged the refrigerators, and borrowed them to pay for the engineers' repairs. The refrigerators were repaired in batches and resold in batches, and they earned their first original funds in Hainan. Then they joined the real estate boom in Hainan, used the money to buy land, open factories, and gradually completed the original goal of making money.
As the saying goes, "it is easy to start a business and it is difficult to keep a job", and the original few small partners decided to seek another development after reaching the set goal. Zhao Yan saw the opportunity of Grandpa Deng's inspection of the south and decided to continue to break through in the real estate market.
Perhaps with the foresight of the merchants, Zhao Yan decided to withdraw from the interior and go to Shandong to develop. In the second year of Zhao Yan's withdrawal from Hainan, the bubble economy of Hainan real estate was punctured, house prices fell across the board, and there were many people who had nothing to lose. But the capital market does not have an eternal winner, full of passion Zhao Yan decided to show his fists in Shandong, spending 200 million yuan to invest in the construction of Weihai International Trade Building, but under the involvement of the interests of all parties, Zhao Yan ushered in the first failure of her life, and the 200 million investment was lost.
Zhao Yan, who decided to go to the capital Beijing to seek development, came to Beijing through keen judgment and amazing negotiations, and looked at Chang'an Avenue, where state organs and central enterprises were gathered, and undertook the project from Beijing Daily at a market price equivalent to 2 times. The purchase price of 8,000 square meters was finally sold to Huaxia Bank at a price of 17,000 square meters. Quickly returning to the original Zhao Yan did not get complacent, but continued to march into Chang'an Avenue, followed by The Bloomage International Center, SK Building, Guomao CBD, and later wukesong Gymnasium, Zhao Yan has since gained a firm foothold in the beijing real estate industry, and since then everyone on Chang'an Avenue has known Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan has obviously become a big guy in the real estate industry, and she decided to find a breakthrough from herself and enrolled in the EMBA of Peking University. During this time, Zhao Yan became acquainted with Guo Xueping, an expert in hyaluronic acid research, and his team. I heard about hyaluronic acid for the first time, and after in-depth understanding, I saw the development and business opportunities of hyaluronic acid in the future.
After careful consideration, Zhao Yan decided to inject capital into Shandong Fu ruida Biochemical Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Shandong Pharmaceutical Research Institute and foreign companies, to replace 50% of the equity with 12 million yuan. 20 years later, the former Freda transformed into a Bloomage creature familiar to everyone today, which is also the first and most important step for Zhao Yan to become the "Queen of Hyaluronic Acid" in the future.
From 2001 to 2018, nearly 20 years of investment and research, Bloomage Bio's hyaluronic acid production is nearly 180 tons, accounting for 36% of the global supply. There has always been a legend in the medical aesthetic circles that "Zhao Yan alone controls one-third of the world's hyaluronic acid business", which also makes Zhao Yan a veritable "queen of hyaluronic acid".
In 2019, Bloomage Bio was also successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange Science and Technology Innovation Board, and Zhao Yan, as the helmsman of Bloomage Biologics, was also doubly valuable, with a wealth of far more than 50 billion yuan, and was selected into the Hurun Female Entrepreneur List in 2021. And through the "National Treasure" brushed up the circle of friends of the Palace Museum, the income of wenchuan soared. Zhao Yan seized the opportunity to cooperate with him to launch the "Forbidden City Mask" and "Forbidden City Lipstick", which pushed Bloomage Biology and Zhao Yan in front of people.
A strong woman who kills decisively in the mall, Zhao Yan has always been adhering to the original intention of public welfare and is committed to public welfare undertakings and cultural undertakings. In addition to being the chairman of Bloomage Group, Zhao Yan is also the director of the Beijing Times Art Museum and a member of the China Artists Association.
She founded the "Cloud in the Cloud" brand, launched a series of public welfare cultural activities, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to go deep into remote areas, with the goal of inheriting the neglected and abandoned traditional national culture. From the first year of Ordos, Zhao Yan's team spent nearly seven years in more than 50 ethnic minority settlements across the country, helping them to take intangible cultural heritage out of their homes and even go abroad. Ms. Zhao Yan was also selected as the 2020 Person of the Year of Chinese Philanthropists and was named a cultural public welfare ferryman.
During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Ms. Zhao Yan, together with her art friends, completed and auctioned the oil painting masterpiece "Blood May.2008", and all the proceeds of 33.5 million yuan were donated to the Sichuan disaster area. During the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, it was also generously donated, and the wording was donated to Wuhan, Shandong and other serious epidemic areas in batches, with a total donation of more than 10 million yuan. Actively assume the social responsibility of a successful entrepreneur.
