"I have been a nurse and an actor before. After years of exploration, I chose creative balloons, turned my hobbies into careers, and created my own 'balloon kingdom'." Zhang Xuejing, the manager of Ai Xue Balloon, believes that as people's quality of life improves, we must pay more attention to the sense of ritual in life and bring surprises and beauty to themselves and their families and friends.
Had been a nurse for four years and an actor
Bravely pursued his dreams and love
Before working in creative balloons, Zhang Xuejing studied nursing at university and worked as a nurse in the internal medicine department of the hospital for four years. "When choosing a major, my parents felt that girls should have a stable and decent job, so I applied for the nursing major according to their wishes, but I personally don't like this major very much." Zhang Xuejing said that she is a relatively thoughtful person. Although she followed her parents' advice to work in nursing, she always wanted to do what she liked.
Every little girl had a dream of being an actor when she was a child, and Zhang Xuejing was no exception. While working in the hospital, she met two directors of Shangluo by chance. After work, she filmed several movies " Hundred Family Stories ", a micro-film and MV "The Stars of Childhood". Although she is not a professional acting professional, Zhang Xuejing's acting skills have been recognized and praised by many people. During the filming of " Bailuyuan ", she was fortunate to be an extra and worked with all the "old actors" to learn their excellent acting skills. This experience of "playing a supporting role" has given her a lot.
Become a creative balloon
Give up a stable job and start a business by itself
Talking about why I chose the creative balloon industry, Zhang Xuejing recalled, "When I was traveling to Shanghai with my friends during the holidays, I happened to be in a balloon exhibition in a shopping mall. The moment I entered the mall, I was shocked by all kinds of spectacular balloon shapes, and I felt both shocked and happy. I never thought that balloons could make so many shapes and shapes." After returning from Shanghai Travel, Zhang Xuejing was always obsessed with the creative balloon exhibition she saw in Shanghai, and fantasized that she would be very happy if she was engaged in this industry and dealing with balloons every day.
"I am a person with strong execution ability. If I have any ideas, I will execute them immediately. So when I was on annual leave, I went to Xi'an to train and study the creative balloon system course. Although I was confused when I was studying, I didn't know if this industry was suitable for me, and the course pressure was also very high, but thinking about the shocking scenes I saw in Shanghai, I still encouraged myself to persevere." Zhang Xuejing said that after returning from the training in Xi'an, she queued up balloons as part-time jobs and promoted and promoted them in her circle of friends. Slowly, as the customer connections accumulate, her customers are increasing, which makes her unable to take into account her balloon career during working hours. After repeated consideration, she quit her stable job in the hospital and started her own business.
Turn love into career
Create your own "Balloon Kingdom"
Zhang Xuejing admitted that she also encountered many difficulties in the early stage of her business. "When class, I felt that the teacher's theory was quite simple and I learned it myself, but when I was actually doing it, I was stunned. I took more time to study the design over and over again. Zhang Xuejing said that the first activity she took was a large-scale commercial activity. She could have completed the work that could have been completed in a few hours, but she worked with her colleagues for two days. From the design drawings to the site planning were all done by her. Although the activity was only enough for the cost investment and labor costs, it also allowed her to accumulate a lot of experience and lay the foundation for her future work.
After long-term accumulation of experience, her Aixue Balloon Creative Studio has gradually grown, and she has its own stable customer base and loyal fans. The current types of balloon parties include birthday party, engagement party, baby year old banquet, large-scale corporate annual meetings, opening activities, etc. She said, "Now people's material conditions have improved, and they pay more attention to the quality of life. Balloon parties can bring a sense of ritual to life. I will continue to stick to my dreams and love and create my own 'Balloon Kingdom'.”
