When I Returned to China at the Age of 40, I Started My First Business

When I was 23 years old, I left China for the first time and went to Germany. At that time, I had nothing but youth. In Germany, I studied at university, learned German, and worked part-time. I also experienced the most difficult exams and the loneliness of living alone in a foreign country. After graduation, I started as an accountant and later joined Huawei Germany to work in project finance. I was responsible for more than 10 projects at most. Later, I went to a German energy company in Cologne. I used to think that as long as I kept working hard, life would move forward according to plan. At Christmas 2015, I rewarded myself with a trip to the United States. Near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, I accidentally saw a stretched Lincoln drive into the helipad by the river. At that moment, for the first time, I saw so clearly the life I had longed for—efficiency, career, wealth, and a larger world. But life never goes exactly according to plan. In 2022, I left Germany, where I had lived for more than ten years, and returned to China. I originally thought that returning to China was just a turning point in my life. Unexpectedly, this time, I would have to start over. From 2023 to 2025, I will continue to look for an entrepreneurial direction that suits me. It wasn't until I came to Pu'er, Yunnan, that I really got close to the coffee industry for the first time. In 2026, I registered my first company. In his forties, he started his own business for the first time. There are only two types of coffee beans that have just been made, and a Taobao store that has just opened. This time, I don't know how far I can go. If you can't repeat life again, then go through it carefully and finish it.
