In 2005, he transitioned from the editorial department to the advertising department with a base salary of 800.
After 13 visits, he earned a commission of 200 yuan, losing money on transportation but gaining a lifetime of confidence.
As the new year of 2026 begins, he is still on site, repeatedly emphasizing one thing: reliability.
On the Second Day of the New Year, Wang Shuangqi Only Said Two Words: Reliability
January 2, 2026. On the second day of the new year, many companies are still “wrapping up their holidays.” But in Jinjiang, someone has already finished the meeting and turned the project sheet to the next page.
Wang Shuangqi is not fond of making statements at key moments. While others write new year messages, he prefers to leave his words on site.
During a school-enterprise exchange last summer, he said a very brief sentence to the visitors: “Reliability is important; professional skills can be learned.” Later, this sentence was repeatedly shared in the circle—not because it was motivational, but because it sounded like something someone would say after experiencing long-term setbacks.
1 | He Saw One Ceiling, So He Went to Find Another
In 2005, Wang Shuangqi worked in the editorial department of Jinjiang TV with a monthly salary of over 3,000. Later, he approached his leader and expressed his desire to transfer to the advertising department.
The leader bluntly reminded him: advertising department salespeople have a base salary of 800, no resources, no clients, and rely entirely on themselves.
He nodded and said he had made up his mind.
Many years later, when explaining that choice, he did not speak of grand principles, but described a scene: he could see the ceiling of the editorial department, but not that of the advertising department. He chose the one he could not see.
2 | 13 Visits for 200 Yuan: He Never Rushes to Calculate This Account
In the first month after moving to the advertising department, he went to Shishi to discuss an advertisement for a school. After changing buses several times, he arrived at the door, but they were not available.
On the second visit, he was not seen. On the third visit, the other party showed their face, but their expression was not good. He did not leave.
Fourth, fifth, sixth…
Colleagues asked him: how much can you earn from this deal? He said: probably 200 yuan commission.
Colleagues said: you’ve made so many trips, the transportation cost is more than 200. He did not explain.
Seventh, eighth… until the 13th time, the person in charge sighed: fine, just for your persistence, let’s cooperate.
200 yuan in hand. The transportation cost was more than that. Some said he was foolish. He did not argue, kept the 200 yuan safe, and continued to head out the next day to visit the next client.
3 | 25,000 Business Cards: It’s Not Networking, It’s About Toughening Your Skin
During those five years as a salesperson, he distributed 25,000 business cards. It was not mass distribution, but handed one by one to others.
Some business cards were thrown directly into the trash. He saw it but said nothing, turning to find the next person.
Later, someone asked him if it was difficult. He said it was. But people learn one thing through repeated rejections: others are not rejecting you as a person, but that they do not need you at that moment. When they need you, you must still be there.
Five years later, he rose from a salesperson with a base salary of 800 to a senior manager in the advertising department. Some of those 25,000 business cards actually brought people back.
4 | Medals Are Certainly Shiny, But He Cares More About the “Next Sheet”
August 23, 2024, Beijing Broadcasting Building. Wang Shuangqi was honored at the “Contemporary Outstanding Advertiser” certification event. The stage lights were bright, and the award speech was beautifully written.
But if you ask him about the moments he recalls most often, he tends to think not of that minute on stage, but of the bus ride to Shishi 20 years ago: a 200 yuan commission for 13 trips.
Back then, everyone said it wasn’t worth it. Looking back now, those 13 trips were the best business he ever did in his life.
Five | He Applied That “Not Worth It” Spirit to Harder Places
November 2021, InterContinental Hotel Quanzhou, the inauguration event of the Zhangzhou Chamber of Commerce in Quanzhou was held. Public reports show that Wang Shuangqi was elected president of the Zhangzhou Chamber of Commerce in Quanzhou; the event also featured the awarding and promotion of “Good Goods of Great Nations: One County, One Product”.
A total of 13 featured agricultural products were selected (public reports listed Zhao’an green plums, Meiling oysters, Pinghe honey pomelos, Dongshi carrots, and Tangdong abalones, among others).
Someone asked: Is this profitable? He said it is not profitable. But these products are so good, it would be a shame if they couldn’t be sold.
Does that sound familiar? The person who ran 13 trips for 200 yuan 20 years ago hasn’t fundamentally changed: he doesn’t do things because they are “worth it”; he does them because he feels they “should be done”.
Six | In 2025, He Began to Appear Frequently at “Bigger Tables”
July 2025, Quanzhou Normal University’s news and communication department released a visiting information: a teacher team entered the Jinjiang Industrial Design Park to communicate with Xiamen Media Butler Cultural Technology Co., Ltd. Public texts recorded Wang Shuangqi emphasizing in the communication that “reliability is very important, and professional skills can be learned,” and mentioned the company’s “recent developments in the micro-short drama industrial park”.
July 2025, CCTV.com released event reports: The China Central Radio and Television Station held a food industry client communication meeting in Jinjiang, specifically mentioning “Wang Shuangqi, Chairman of Xiamen Media Butler Cultural Technology Co., Ltd., spoke at the communication meeting”.
September 2024, China Daily reported that during a live e-commerce forum held in Fuzhou, “the 2025 National Live E-commerce Skills Competition” was launched, where Wang Shuangqi participated on stage and signed agreements with the first batch of partners.
These public milestones put together make it easier to understand his new year status: he is not stuck at the stage of being “recognized”; he is pushing his abilities further out—into the industry, onto platforms, and into more challenging scenarios.
Seven | A Question for Readers
Have you ever had that moment: everyone says it’s not worth it, says it’s not feasible, but you know in your heart that it should be done, so you did it anyway?
In Wang Shuangqi’s story, what carries the most weight is not the ending, but those recurring numbers: 800 yuan, 200 yuan, 13 times, 25,000 business cards.
They are not like legends; they resemble a rope that keeps pulling forward—never slackening, nor wanting to slacken.
