4.The first place in Global Business Planning Competition at Intel, Silicon Valley, CA

In 2014 summer, I went to Silicon Valley to participate in this Business Planning Competition held at Intel. I served as the group leader of 6 members from Tsinghua, Peking and Fudan University, and our goal was to build a mature business plan within one week and finally present it before three famous VCs and senior executives of Intel.

I led my group conduct effective brain storming and managed to reach an innovative idea. When disagreement and conflict occurred, I calmed team members down and analyzed the problems with sober mind. Based on mutual understanding and the shared dream towards entrepreneurship, we became close friends, working and playing hard under a clear division of labor.

Finally, our idea of building an E-parking system received great praise from VCs and senior executives of Intel, and won the first place among 7 groups.
