Interview with the 59th real person

Author: N

Narrator: James

From New Zealand to China, from China to New Zealand, I have broken through my own world in the immigration agency industry, still obsessed with pursuing the meaning of my life. In fact, this is not a mandatory question, where there are so many vigorous lives, the long stream of water to go forward, is the best state.

In my life journey, many things seem to have no preset trajectory, and they happen naturally, and I just have to continue to move forward.

The world is changing rapidly, so are immigration policies and market demands, and my immigration industry is gradually ushering in fierce competition. At present, there are three main types of people engaged in immigration intermediary work in China. One is a person who has studied and lived abroad; One is a person who has no overseas experience but is interested in the service consulting industry; One is a person who is transferred to an intermediary within the original immigration company.

I belonged to the first type, finished my MBA at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, traveled to many countries, and did not have any thrilling stories along the way, but came into contact with many different people and things. Perhaps it was this experience of studying and living abroad that subtly gave me the idea of entering the industry of studying abroad and immigrants, and let me begin to explore and take root in this line.

With the accumulation of contacts and practical struggle, I have unconsciously "crawled" in the industry for more than ten years, the study abroad sector has done a lot of projects, the immigration business has just started, and in recent years, I have founded my own company in China, Shujian International, and accumulated a lot of experience.

It is completely by feeling the stones to cross the river, I led the company from investment immigration all the way to overseas property purchase, education planning, family wealth management, global asset allocation and other services, perhaps in the eyes of the public, it should be regarded as a successful entrepreneur.

In the eyes of some contemporary workers, entrepreneurship is something that wants to do but does not dare to do. Unknown dilemmas and pressures can always dissuade many people.

But on the road of entrepreneurship, I am relatively lucky. On the one hand, I bravely took the first step, on the other hand, my entrepreneurial journey was not as difficult as imagined, and finally achieved a gorgeous transformation from an ordinary worker to an industry elite.

It's not me Versailles, it's just that. The development time of the domestic immigration intermediary industry is not long, and colleges and universities do not have a special training system, so this industry basically starts from the layman. So some people will think that there must be a lot of difficulties in doing it at the beginning, but for me, it is really fine, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

There are no big winds and waves, and small winds and small waves still happen occasionally. To sum up my immigration agency growth history in one sentence, it is "painful and happy".

Usually there is basically no entertainment time, focusing on work, in addition to sleeping, WeChat is always there. There are also many customers who encounter difficulties, and they are often very polite when consulting, and they start to shirk when preparing materials. The identity of the intermediary is still regarded as a liar, fortunately, my mentality is better, do not care, the matter will pass.

Later, it gradually fell into a strange circle of contradictions. On the one hand, when you receive customer recognition of the business, you will feel very happy in your heart. On the other hand, the signing form has been signed numb, feeling that I have done nothing and have no sense of accomplishment.

Maybe many people are in a state like me, sometimes it feels like being pushed by life, this is not a mess, many things just have no purpose and planning to speak of, do is done. Like a legless bird, tired of sleeping in the wind, flying while actively exploring the meaning of life.

The word "run" has appeared frequently in our social chats lately, which is not a novelty to me, after all, I am in this line of work. I think that this problem mainly depends on the individual, there are many people who love freedom in contemporary times, but not many people have really succeeded in taking that step.

According to the popular saying now, I actually have an identity in New Zealand, these years in the country to lay a good foundation for the cause, when the epidemic is completely stable, should be "run" back to New Zealand, continue to expand the career map, after all, no matter which line to do, more professional to be more powerful.

I can also feel that the existence of "invisible discrimination" in China is more or less gossip under the traditional concept of falling leaves and returning to the roots. But for me to be good at myself, everyone's choices are different, and there is no absolute right or wrong. I am about to enter the year of confusion, and I hope that when the time comes, I can really be clear and clear in the face of things.

The meaning of life is too grand a proposition, and it is difficult to find the answer. After seeing a lot, let nature face the unknown world, and perhaps the answer will emerge inadvertently.
