About

I hope to meet more people on LinkedIn, expand my network, and learn from each other. It would be great if we could collaborate with each other in the same field. Currently in semi-retirement, I am mainly expanding more networks and human resources, with a professional team to do plan analysis and create more entrepreneurial opportunities for the new generation of young people.
