Release Time : 2024-12-23
[Qingdao Maker Biography: Clairvoyant Zhang Yunchao]
【Xiao Xin and Xiao Wen visit makers】
Xiao Xin: Xiao Wen, do you take the elevator to and from get off work every day? I don’t know how you feel, but I always get scared every time I take the elevator. It’s just a few iron ropes hanging on it. What if something goes wrong? Oh, my claustrophobia comes back!
Xiaowen: What's there to be afraid of when taking an elevator? You, a grown man, are not as good as a little girl like me!
Xiaoxin: Don't laugh at me! In March this year, an elevator accident occurred in Shanghai, and an old lady died on the spot with blood all over her body...
Xiaowen: Look at you, you are so scared! To eliminate your fear, let me introduce you to a maker, Zhang Yunchao, who has the ability to see far away from the sky. He can see clearly what is wrong with the elevator with his "far away eyes"!
Xiaoxin: Really, Brother Chao, what’s your “clairvoyance”?
Zhang Yunchao: Our company is responsible for elevator operation monitoring and communication. To put it simply, we use the Internet of Things technology to synchronize the elevator's operating status to the central control room in real time, so that the safety officer can grasp the elevator's safety factor at any time. In simple terms, the elevator "can talk": I am tired, I am sick, I am uncomfortable... The central control room can hear and see clearly.
Xiaoxin: What should we do if a safety malfunction occurs in the monitored elevator?
Zhang Yunchao: When an elevator breaks down, the person on duty at the central control desk will receive the fault signal immediately. At the same time, the staff will contact the elevator maintenance unit, and the relevant staff will rush to the scene to deal with it as quickly as possible.
Xiaowen: Let me introduce you. Brother Chao is a big shot in the elevator communications industry in this island city. He chose to start his own business when he was nearly 40 years old. Currently, his company has become an important partner of Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator in wireless communications. He is so awesome that I admire him so much!
Zhang Yunchao: Xiaowen, that's an exaggeration! I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary Qingdao silverer, just like you, a generation that grew up eating clams and drinking beer.
Xiaowen: Yunchao, why did you start your own business when you are almost 40? What are you doing?
Zhang Yunchao: KFC Grandpa chose to start a business at the age of 50. Do you think he will succeed? I will fight to the death once. The worst that can happen is that I will be the same as now. As long as I don't starve to death, it's fine!
Xiaowen: Why did you choose elevator Internet of Things as your entrepreneurial direction? Was it a sudden idea?
Zhang Yunchao: I am an older entrepreneur, so the entrepreneurial project I choose must be one that I am familiar with. I have been working in the communications industry for many years and have done related projects before, so I took this step.
Xiaowen: What is the thing in the process of starting a business that you will never forget?
Zhang Yunchao: Let me think about it. If I had to say what was unforgettable, it was a phone call I received. I saw that the number started with 021. Yes, it was from Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator. They said, hey, man! Come to Shanghai to sign the contract! I couldn't recover for a while after hearing the news. Happiness came too suddenly! Our efforts finally paid off. That night, I treated all the team members to a big meal and everyone got drunk.
Xiaowen: What is the current level of your project in the industry? Is it profitable?
Zhang Yunchao: My products are very popular in the industry. Just think about it, the big guys in the elevator industry all use our products, and we are their partners. Haha, I am not exaggerating! Our profits mainly come from selling communication products and solutions. I firmly believe that the spring of elevator communication Internet of Things will continue.
Xiaoxin: It sounds fun, right? Starting a business doesn’t seem difficult?
Xiaowen: What happened next? After you had the product, what difficulties did you encounter?
Zhang Yunchao: At that time, I encountered many setbacks when promoting my entrepreneurial project to customers. I felt very upset. It was the first time in my life that I felt I had hit a roadblock. It was a very difficult time. My mind was full of words to introduce the project to customers. Sometimes I would even repeat the same words in my sleep. My wife was afraid that I had some kind of mental illness and insisted on taking me to the hospital for a check-up.
Xiaowen: As a senior entrepreneur, can you share your entrepreneurial secrets with everyone?
Zhang Yunchao: Strength alone is not enough, we must learn to leverage strength, and blindly using brute force is not advisable. The development of an enterprise will definitely encounter a bottleneck period at a certain stage, which is very embarrassing. The most feared thing is "neither high nor low". If the enterprise cannot grow and develop rapidly at this time, it is likely to fail.
Xiaowen: Very profound! But I still have to give you a thumbs up! By the way, how is your project going? What are your plans for the next step?
Zhang Yunchao: From 3 people in the early days of the business to a team of 30 people now, we are getting bigger and bigger. According to the plan, my team members and I will move into a stand-alone office building located in the Science and Technology Innovation Valley of Qingdao High-tech Zone in the second half of this year. We are awesome! In the future, our company will focus on elevator IoT communications, while leveraging the coordinated development of remote audio, vehicle networking and aquaculture IoT, and strive to become bigger and stronger in the field of IoT.
Xiaowen: How about it, Xiaoxin? After listening to Brother Chao's speech, are you still afraid of taking the elevator?
Xiao Xin: Haha! I hope that Mr. Yunchao's business will grow bigger and bigger, and all elevators will be equipped with "Sky Eyes", so we don't have to worry so much!

Xiaoxin: It sounds fun, right? Starting a business doesn’t seem difficult?
Zhang Yunchao: No! What followed was a tough battle. During the period of producing equipment for customers, I insisted on staying in the Shenzhen factory. I was very nervous during that time. I didn’t eat well or sleep well. I almost lost weight. I was most afraid that there would be problems with the product. The first shot had to be fired.
Xiaowen: What happened next? After you had the product, what difficulties did you encounter?
Zhang Yunchao: At that time, I encountered many setbacks when promoting my entrepreneurial project to customers. I felt very upset. It was the first time in my life that I felt I had hit a roadblock.
