Her story: How a Gen-Z girl resigned to start her own business and achieve million-dollar success

Gen-Z entrepreneur Fang Jing previously worked as a regular employee in the tech industry. After a clash with her supervisor, she lost her job and stepped away from the rat race. She teamed up with her cousin and traveled to Yiwu, a center for small commodities and international trade in China.

Having experienced various business models, she later expanded into the West African market.

Within six months, her company's revenue exceeded 10 million yuan (about $1.4 million). She set up a warehouse in Ghana and hired local staff to manage it. Despite challenges like theft and construction delays, Fang Jing stayed committed and reached a seven-figure income of one million yuan ($140,000).

Her story teaches about breaking free from traditional career paths, as shown by the rise of young Chinese entrepreneurs in Africa.
