On January 13, 2025, the presidents of the Entrepreneur Branch of the Alumni Association of Renmin University of China, Zhang Jianming and Wu Xiaoqiu, together with Executive President Li Jun, visited IBI for research and exchange. IBI founder and chairman Liu Quan, and Honghu Fund founder Xu Hai participated in the exchange meeting.

Zhang Jianming, Wu Xiaoqiu, and their group first toured IBI's office environment and digital showroom, gaining an in-depth understanding of IBI's development history and business layout. At the following exchange meeting, Chairman Liu Quan extended a warm welcome and gratitude to the visiting alumni. He fondly recalled that Renmin University of China, as the spiritual home and cradle of wisdom for its alumni, not only provided him with deep academic nourishment and knowledge accumulation but also offered solid support and inexhaustible strength for him to start his business in Beijing. As a member of Renmin University, he has always remembered the school motto "Seek truth from facts" and is committed to maintaining close ties and collaborations with alumni enterprises to jointly explore new development opportunities and create a more glorious future together.

In his speech, President Zhang Jianming highlighted that this visit is the first significant event of early 2025, following the Entrepreneur Branch of the Alumni Association's visit to Hillhouse Capital at the end of 2024. He mentioned that when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Renmin University, he hoped the school would implement the fundamental task of moral education, inherit the red gene, and cultivate "pillars of rejuvenation and pioneers of strengthening the nation." Under this guidance, the Entrepreneur Branch of the Alumni Association is also dedicated to building a broader platform for interaction to help outstanding alumni achieve dual leaps in life and career. The visit to IBI aims to establish a bridge of communication and cooperation between the two sides to achieve mutual information exchange, resource sharing, complementary advantages, and win-win cooperation, injecting new vitality into the development of Renmin University and contributing to the prosperity of the national economy.

President Wu Xiaoqiu emphasized that the capital market is an important engine for promoting technological advancement and the development of sci-tech innovation enterprises, while the competitiveness of listed companies is the cornerstone of the stable development of the capital market. As an outstanding representative of listed companies and a leading enterprise in the industrial internet and digital economy fields, IBI should continue to leverage its advantages, deepen cooperation with businesses and the government, and fully utilize the power and resources of the capital market to continuously inject strong momentum for economic development and national construction.

During the exchange session, the alumni spoke freely, combining their rich experience and unique insights from various industries to engage in deep and fruitful discussions on how to promote collaboration among alumni enterprises and how to expand cross-industry cooperation fields. This exchange not only strengthened the bonds and trust among alumni but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation and development.

Wu Yafeng, president of the North American Alumni Association, Li Xufeng, president of the Canadian Alumni Association, along with Zhou Rong, secretary-general of the Entrepreneur Branch of the Alumni Association, and deputy secretary-general Zhao Xiao accompanied the visit.
