About the Talk
This is about the journey of establishing a venture in innovation and technology, and about successful leadership: how a humble SouFun.com founded in Beijing has risen as the world’s acclaimed and the largest real estate portal listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 12 years; the way the Bank of China International has expanded from a local Hong Kong securities firm to an international investment bank operating in Mainland China and major financial hubs around the world, and why eOS is emerging as the third alternative mobile operating system, next to Android and iOS led by a passionate pioneer in the internet technology industry. Don't miss this chance to meet the man behind the legend, Dr. Shan LI, Chairman of the Bauhinia Party, co-founder of SouFun.com, former CEO of BOC International, CEO of 3TU Technologies, and the first Chinese global board member in the history of Credit Suisse Group, who will be sharing his first-hand experience and insights on technology entrepreneurship.
