Chairman Wei Gangmin was appointed as a visiting professor at Beijing Institute of Materials and delivered a special lecture to students in the Economics College Auditorium.

In October 2014, Mr. Wei Gangmin, Chairman of the Board, was officially appointed as a visiting professor at Beijing Institute of Materials Science and Engineering and was invited to attend the appointment ceremony. Mr. Weng Xingang, Vice President of Beijing Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, presented the Chairman with the visiting professor appointment certificate. Both sides shook hands, took photos together, and expressed their good wishes for continued and in-depth cooperation.
Afterwards, Chairman Wei gave a lively and engaging special lecture to the teachers and students in the auditorium of the Economics College on the topic of "Enterprise Development and Talent Cultivation." During the lecture, Chairman Wei first elaborated on his views on issues that university students should pay attention to in employment and how to become useful members of society. He believes that "high education, high ability, a spirit of adventure, and entrepreneurial passion" are necessary conditions for success, and that "passion achieves dreams, and dreams create the future."
Secondly, using the company spirit of "opening mountains when encountering mountains, building bridges when encountering water, perseverance, and working together in the same boat" as a guide, Chairman Wei elaborated on his views from multiple aspects, angles, depths, and perspectives. He believes that in the early stages of entrepreneurship, it is important to establish a corporate spirit, with the spirit as the driving force of the enterprise, and the combination of morality and talent as the source of the enterprise. When encountering problems, one should not shrink back but should try their best and find solutions through multiple channels. One should uphold the spirit of honesty, kindness, diligence, hard work, and courage to forge ahead, and persistence is the key to victory. An entrepreneur must have a foundation of integrity, follow the principle that the customer is God and service is fundamental, and adhere to the concept of providing high-quality service to others. The idea that "no business is without deceit" has never achieved great success. In special circumstances, one must show extra care for others, even if they are competitors.
Finally, Chairman Wei vividly described Tongzhou Cotton's sustainable development strategic plan for all the teachers and students, focusing on the company's path of "specialization, industrialization, and internationalization." He encouraged outstanding students with ability, ideas, and dreams to come to Tongzhou Cotton to realize their dreams.
Chairman Wei's wonderful lecture received a warm response from the teachers and students. After the lecture, many students had in-depth exchanges with Chairman Wei on the content of the lecture and issues of concern, and looked forward to Chairman Wei's next visit to the school for another wonderful sharing. The lecture concluded in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
