As soon as he entered huashi University, he became an active student in the campus poetry world, and then became the president of the famous "Summer Rain Poetry Society", which was only the beginning of Jiangnan Chun's famous campus.
In order to attract girls, Jiangnanchun in his so vice-second year actively began to plan to run for president of the school's student union. Kung Fu is not responsible for people, after some efforts, he was successfully elected president of the student union.
At that time, enterprises need to recruit part-time through the student association, the enterprise provides posters, by the student association arrangements for distribution and posting.
Jiang Nanchun recalls, "One day, I received a poster, a company opened 300 yuan price, recruit an advertising salesman, 300 yuan for us at that time is a very high number, I put the poster silently put away, holding the poster to the company."

In 2000, when the dotcom bubble burst, thousands of websites went out of business, IT advertising disappeared overnight, revenues shrank, and Jiang Nanchun's Yongyi Media had a hard time.
Occasional one day, he is bored waiting for the elevator, casually found around the elevator people are equally bored, and this time everyone in front of the elevator door is not a good advertising point!
After careful consideration of various sub-sectors of advertising, Jiangnanchun in 2003 set up Focus Media, fully engaged in elevator advertising.
Finally, relying on the exclusive white-collar crowd every day must pass through the apartment buildings, office elevators this special enclosed space, forming a mandatory audience of advertising arrival, to win the rapid recognition of advertisers.
