He found that the thriving clothing and electronic products industries are less promising in small and medium cities. He targeted agricultural products and opened an online store. Considering the weakness of the express delivery industry at the time and the high cost of delivery, he joined the express company to reduce transportation costs.

In a 20 square meter, small, shabby room, Zhang started his dream of a big career. Without an employee, he was responsible for all the operations of the store, including taking photos, writing documents, keeping track of incoming goods, customer service, packaging and delivery. He often worked an average of more than 10 hours a day.

In March of 2015, with increasing orders, Zhang Rongfei had to move the shop to bigger site in a refrigerator factory in Huichuan district. He then registered Zunyi Henong Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co that May, and began to take a team and corporate-oriented road.
