More than 1,200 people gathered together to discuss making new contributions to the construction and development of Shenzhen and their hometown.
The newly established Shenzhen Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce has independent corporate legal person status and is the chamber of commerce in Shenzhen representing the four cities of Chaoshan.
After election, Wu Kaisong became the first president of Shenzhen Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.
Seven representatives from Brazil, the world's sixth largest cotton-producing country, came to Shenzhen and formally signed a cooperation agreement for the industrialization of insect-resistant cotton with Shenzhen Genesis Transgenic Technology Co., Ltd. (Wu Kaisong serves as chairman).
This indicates that the cotton genetically modified seeds developed by Shenzhen Genesis Transgenic Technology Co., Ltd. have left Asia and entered the South American market for the first time.
It is understood that the only companies in the world with insect-resistant cotton genetically modified technology are Monsanto Company, one of the world's top 500 companies, and Shenzhen Genesis Genetically Modified Technology Co., Ltd. Shenzhen Genesis will also enter the U.S. market within this year to challenge Monsanto. Shenzhen Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce is the
The original initiator of the "Shantou Chaoshan Charity Fund", Wu Kaisong (President of Shenzhen Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce) said: Chaoshan merchants at home and abroad have always had a good wish to repay their hometown and support the construction of their hometown. However, for a long time, there has been a lack of professionalism, organization and standardization.
charity platform.
The existing institutional mechanisms are not perfect enough, and there are problems such as lack of supervision and low efficiency.
In 2010, Shantou City's first "6·30" Poverty Alleviation Day event raised just over 30 million yuan in donations. After communicating with Secretary Li Feng, I started planning to establish a public welfare foundation (Shantou Charity Federation Chaoshang Public Welfare Fund).
It is used to develop public welfare and charity in Chaoshan and carry out social welfare activities such as helping the needy, helping the elderly and the disabled, assisting students and teachers, and providing disaster relief.
In order to ensure the standardized operation of the foundation, the Chaoshang Charitable Welfare Fund was jointly established by the Shantou Charity Federation, Shenzhen Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, Beijing Chaoren Chamber of Commerce, Guangdong Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and Shanghai Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce to establish a board of directors.
Be fair and impartial and implement the commitments in the agreement, and perform the allocation, use, supervision and management of funds.
Establish and improve various work rules and regulations, and implement programmed operations and standardized management.
The establishment of the Shantou Charity Federation Chaoshan Charity Fund is just the first step. We hope to establish the credibility of the foundation through practical work, further mobilize Chaozhou merchants associations at home and abroad and the majority of Chaozhou folks to raise donations, and continue to increase the amount of donations.
Expand the scale of the foundation and launch more public welfare and charitable undertakings.
Although Wu Kaisong has gone through many roles such as soldier, civil servant, businessman, etc., he has one wish in his heart: to be a farmer.
Wu Kaisong said that this wish stems from his deep affection for the countryside where he grew up.
In 1992, Wu Kaisong, who had already made some achievements in the business world, began to consider transformation, so he first set his sights on high-tech agriculture.
In 1992, Guo Sandui developed genetically modified insect-resistant cotton, making my country the second country after the United States to have independent intellectual property rights for insect-resistant cotton. Transgenic insect-resistant cotton was included in the national 863 plan.
This news immediately caught Wu Kaisong's attention, and he quickly flew to Beijing to discuss it with experts and inventors of related projects.
After several twists and turns, a signing ceremony for insect-resistant cotton industrialization cooperation was officially held in Shenzhen on April 8, 1998. Shenzhen Oriental Pearl Group, with Wu Kaisong as chairman, provided funds and the Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences provided technology.
Shenzhen Genesis Transgenic Technology Co., Ltd. also transferred the technology patent rights of genetically modified insect-resistant cotton to Genesis.
The two parties have perfectly combined capital and technology according to the international management model, thus officially beginning to promote the large-scale industrialization of insect-resistant cotton transgenic technology across the country.
The establishment of this company made Wu Kaisong's long-cherished wish come true.
Wu Kaisong said: “Our company is all farmers of the new era, but we are not mud-legged farmers, but high-tech farmers.
