In 2020", Zhang Shuhan achieved the goal of one million sales as a live broadcast operation, and it was only 4 months before she entered the live broadcast industry.
More than two years after retiring, the 26-year-old girl has started a new life in Guangzhou.
This is the 22nd issue of the Sentinel Veterans Entrepreneurial Story.
Dictation: Zhang Shuhan Record: Sentinel Jun
In the semester before I became a soldier, I "made a date" with someone.
The thing is, the girl in the class who has a good relationship with me is always looking for stubble by the little hooligans who mix with society, and I have always loved to fight and hug, so I will help her out. As soon as the bastards saw me as a little girl, they asked if they dared to go to the woods after school to "break their heads."
I went and won. Then, the next day my mom was called to school...
Speaking of this, I have to state that I am not the kind of bad girl, we did not smoke, did not drink, did not mix with society, usually liked boxing, and read books.
I was a grumpy girl since I was a child, my parents were self-employed people in Zaoyang, Hubei Province, I didn't have much time to take care of me as an only daughter, and my biggest wish was to send me to the army or special police to "cultivate my temper".
In September 2013, I was really a soldier.
At first, of course, I resisted, after all, I was usually free, and after the physical examination, I could still talk with the conscripted officers, and suddenly I made up my mind - 19 years old, it was time to go out and break in.
I became a signal soldier at the former Guangzhou General Hospital of the Guangzhou Military Region.
I was a recruit

The army is a good place to hone your mind.
I remember the first time I was punished, it was because the female soldier company was slow to assemble, the company commander punished us to run 15 kilometers in full gear, and many comrades fell down halfway, and I gritted my teeth and insisted on running the second place.
I remember the first time I cried, because I was temporarily asked to represent the hospital in the military district's theoretical competition, when it was only two weeks before the competition, I found a small room every night to memorize the questions, but because of the slow progress, I collapsed and cried... In the end, I finished second in the military district.
These are small things, but for me, they are the most memorable details of growing up.
During my days in the army, I began to learn English and try to improve myself.
The biggest regret of being a soldier is that I have not participated in a major training mission, and sometimes I think that if I could be assigned to a combat post at that time, maybe I could do better.
In September 2018, I was discharged from the army, and after transferring more than 300,000 yuan in retirement fees to my mother, I chose to stay in Guangzhou.
Many people have a kind of "prejudice" against veteran female soldiers, and they always feel that after they become soldiers, they will definitely go to the system to live a stable life.
I'm not the "grumpy girl" I used to be, and I want to do something interesting on my own.
What is most lacking in fresh discharge is social experience, to a large extent, the ability to communicate with strangers.
My first job was to sell training business in the bank, which had to be talked to the bank boss, and I needed to make connections, of course, I didn't, I could only be the scalp.
The first trip to a postal bank, the boss in the dozen floor office, because there is no appointment to enter, I first in the first floor staff office area consultation, the result is no one to pay attention to me.
I thought to myself, I am a former soldier who can easily give up. He gritted his teeth and went out to buy a bunch of fruits and snacks, distributed them to the staff in the office area, then wrote a note and handed it to the little sister who looked the best to talk.
The note reads: Little sister, I have just retired from the army and have no experience, can you help me?
In this way, I finally met the bank boss and negotiated the first business.
If I hadn't been a soldier, I think it would have been difficult for me to do a job with so much resilience. This is the DNA left to me by 5 years of military service - to do everything possible to complete the task.
After six months of work, my monthly salary rose from 5,000 to 10,000+, but I quit my job because my first job was just to adapt to society for myself, and I wanted to do something more challenging.
Then there was the epidemic, because I had been bored in the room, during which I was exposed to live e-commerce, and I thought it was quite interesting.
I actually don't know anything about this industry, and the only impression of live broadcasting is Li Jiaqi.
What made me finally make up my mind was what my boss said to me: Startups are willing to accept anyone who has no e-commerce work experience, as long as you are willing to work hard.
In this way, I returned to the days of monthly salary of 5,000 and became the Taobao live broadcast operation of "Ximuyuan".
When entering a new field, the first thing is to learn; while learning in a company, the most important thing is to put down your body.
My colleagues are very busy, so I go to the department every day when I am about to leave work, and I write down various knowledge points such as professional terms in the book.
Every day, I watch Taobao Live's top 50 live broadcasts, which takes more than ten hours, but only in this way can I grasp the knowledge and experience required for operation as soon as possible.
Such a boring and repetitive training, which I have experienced in the army, I do not shy away from it.
And the boss told me that what she valued most about me was execution, execution like a soldier.
Four months later, on Singles' Day in 2020, I made my first "one million" project: creating "one million" sales in live broadcasts.
I'm in the live stream preparation phase

In such an era, veterans have countless possibilities, and so do female soldiers.
I don't want to be defined, I want to be a better person, I don't want to be obscure.
Thank you to the barracks for teaching me everything and growing me from a grumpy girl to a down-to-earth dreamer.
I also look forward to meeting more comrades-in-arms on the road of entrepreneurship, and we cheer together!
