Chen Yongqing joined the army at the age of 18 and became a "North Drifter" after retiring. In 2008, he came to Beijing with a 50,000 yuan retirement settlement fee and opened an advertising agency.

Chen Yongqing, who became a bodyguard, insisted on learning. At work, he found that bodyguards were still a gray profession at that time, and 80% of the company's business was informal, neither systematically training bodyguards nor evaluating employers. He realized that the bodyguard industry needs to be standardized and open a professional and regular "special guard" company.

Six months later, Chen Yongqing quit his job at a security company and set up his own company in Fangzhuang, Beijing. At the beginning of the establishment of the company, Chen Yongqing recruited more than 80 veteran special soldiers. Strong writing skills are responsible for publicity, strong language expression skills are responsible for pulling business, and others follow Chen Yongqing every day for combat, grappling, explosion-proof, driving and other subjects of training.

The company has been running for more than two months, but there is not a single business. In order to support the company, Chen Yongqing took over the security work of two famous nightclubs in Chaoyang Workers' Stadium. Before taking up his post, Chen Yongqing also conducted etiquette training for employees, and unless it was a special situation, security personnel would never be allowed to fight against others, and they must first salute and then soldier. After 60 security guards took up their posts in the nightclub, they attracted a number of bosses.

"In fact, in any country, the retirement of military personnel and the transfer of employment is a big problem. Our country has a large number of retired soldiers every year, but the basic skills they learn in the army are fighting skills, and it is difficult to find a suitable job after returning to society. A security career is often the best choice for these trained soldiers. Chen Yongqing said frankly that when opening a bodyguard company, the employment of retired soldiers was taken into account.
