Shan Xiangshuang's career began with the "whimsical" planning and practice in the eyes of others. 1998 Resigned from the Ministry of Communications and went south to Shenzhen to China Merchants Securities. From 65438 to 0999, he planned the "China Transportation Investment and Financing Committee" to integrate five transportation-related ministries. Qian Yongchang, former Minister of Communications, sat patiently and listened to the idea. He couldn't help being surprised, and soon the Committee was established. On February 9, 2000, 65438, "China Merchants" was established, and no company promised to invest. The business scope of China Merchants is quite extensive. Besides venture capital, it also involves education, transportation, training and other fields. In addition to serving as the president of China Merchants Venture Capital Management Co., Ltd., Shan Xiangshuang also serves as the chairman or president of other subsidiaries of China Merchants. After three months of searching for rice, five leading companies, including Beijing Urban Construction Group and Ordos Group, became shareholders of the first fund of the management company, and a venture capital fund of 300 million yuan was available.

Shan Xiangshuang founded a number of large investment institutions in succession in more than three years, but most of them were rejected by him. With his reaction speed, willpower and action, he always "loses and fights repeatedly" in order to achieve greater success. As a well-known expert in venture capital, capital planning and investment and financing in China, Shan Xiangshuang has accumulated profound theoretical foundation and practical experience in enterprise management, investment and financing management, capital management and capital operation, and "loyalty, striving for progress in stability, diligence and perseverance, modesty and wisdom, and doing something" is his philosophy of life, and earnest work is the basis of his success.
