With the COVID-19 epidemic coming gradually under control, China’s economy has been progressively
reviving and enterprises are returning to more normal operations. FISF
Education Service Center (ESC) L&T Program recently started a new journey
of Enterprise Visits. On October 16th, with the strong support of
FISF Professional Development Center (PDC for short), a team of over 10 FISF
professors and staff led by Professor Huasheng Gao, Deputy Dean of Faculty and
Research, visited XW Fintech Co., Ltd.
Zixia Sheng, President of XW Fintech, Yingzhao Zhou, Director of
Comprehensive Department, Bingyi Zhang, Director of Risk Strategy Department,
and Aimin Pan, Director of Financial Product Department & Innovative Cloud
Data Department, attended this activity and expressed a warm welcome to the
professors. It is noteworthy thatPresident Zixia Sheng is an alumnus of Fudan
University and Risk Strategy Department Director Bingyi Zhang is a part-time
student of the first session class of FISF FMBA.
During the activity, Dean Huasheng Gao first introduced the
background meaning of the visit, a recent development and future planning of
FISF as well as general student information and cultivation goals of various
programs. He also expressed their expectations of more cooperation in various aspects
like recruitment and research. Ever
since establishment, FISF has been aimed at “world-class academic research and
discipline construction, world-class teaching projects and high-end talent
cultivation and world-class thinktank research and social influence”. Based on
the “Three World-class” goal, FISF specially put forward the L&T program
(Learning & Teaching Program) to practice the concept of establishing an
excellent center of financial education and promote the seamless connection
between top faculty resources and the school-running concepts in order to give
full play to the professors. The L&T program has been conducted in
diversified platforms, including online and offline training, teaching stage
meetings and classroom observation. Besides, enterprise visits are another
critical form, aiming to enhance the communication and interaction among the
financial industry, the real economy and FISF professors, promote university
enterprise cooperation and enable financial graduates nurtured by FISF to
better serve the real economy.
Next, President Zixia Sheng introducedthe mode exploration and
business practice carried out by XW Fintech in its service to medium, small and
micro-sized enterprises in the field of supply chain finance through
technological instruments. Concerning development trends of fintech, Sheng held
that science and technology constitute a primary productive force, and
technology-driven financial innovation and development is an inevitable trend.
The core of fintech is pure financial information services. Whether in the
credit field or the investment field, achieving value-added services through
information processing is the focus of future efforts, which is also the
foundation for XW Fintech to acquire phased success. The double-engine and
combined-boxing mode of “technology plus financial license” can further
strengthen financial services, bringing an overall improvement to technological
innovation, product services and customer experience, etc.
In exchanges with Professor Cheng-Der Fuh and Director Jibing
Shen on topics like fintech professional cultivation, President Zixia Sheng
believed that the construction and cultivation of students’ basic abilities is
extremely important. Apart from mastering high-end financial knowledge,
students should also obtain a large compendium of knowledge in a wide range
during their school learning, including artificial intelligence, machine
learning and programming languages such as the R language, SAS, Python, Matlab
and SQL database, so as to make full preparations for future engagement in
fintech industries. As a commercial institute, XW Fintech lays much emphasis on
employees’ commercial awareness. He wishes students equip themselves with
capabilities of “financial knowledge plus commercial awareness plus
understanding of hi-tech products” and be able to transfer their academic power
to business productivity.
Additionally, professors also conducted in-depth discussion and
exploration with President Zixia Sheng on hot issues, including the application
of technological instruments like satellite remote sensing and knowledge map,
financial service modes in industrial scenarios, fintech business modes and the
influence of digital currency issued by the central bank on Ant Group and
Alipay.
