Welcome to KOKO's Business Chinese Class! ????✨
In Episode 8 of our "CEO Interview" series, KOKO sits down with President Wang (founder of a financial & tax advisory firm in China—and KOKO's husband!) to explore his inspiring 10-year journey from a "workhorse" intern to running his own business.
From enduring a brutal 5-hour daily commute in Shanghai on a 100-RMB daily stipend to doing door-to-door sales in the blistering summer heat, President Wang shares the unfiltered reality of starting from scratch in China’s business world and how he mastered full-process corporate finance to build his company.
