The Shualian-Guanghua team had a fruitful past fortnight cooperation for the Integrated Practicum Project (IPP). With its evolving and exciting business model, Shualian is a fascinating case for the Guanghua team to delve into.

The IPP project running race across Peking University on a gloriously sunny day on 7 April was a fantastic chance for Shualian representatives and Guanghua students to get to know each other, work as a team and push each other to the edge of the comfort zone.

With Shualian's founder and CEO (and Guanghua alumni) Mr. Ma Shun an extreme marathon runner and encouraging the team on, all Guanghua runners had to make sure they were working extra hard! The next day, the Guanghua students met Shualian's Mr Ma Shun and Mr Li Meng at Shualian's headquarters in Beijing to discuss the company's evolving business model.

As an emerging company in the new industry, Shualian is breaking new ground and the Guanghua team had the opportunity to ask questions and deep dive into how Guanghua could assist in this start-up phase. The Guanghua team is currently working on initial research, and Shualian and Guanghua expect that the project will move with new developments in Shualian's approach. This makes it interesting for the Guanghua team, with its main focus being to add value and assist in Shualian's development.
