Mr. Zhou Xiaodi 199 1 started a business, dealing in auto parts, then founded a taxi company, and then set foot in real estate development and management. Now he has become the chairman of a private enterprise group with assets of several hundred million yuan. Zhou (Group) Co., Ltd., founded by Zhou, has jurisdiction over New Century Education Development Co., Ltd., New Century Yide Real Estate Co., Ltd., New Century Taxi Co., Ltd., New Century International Club Co., Ltd., Overseas Employment Service Co., Ltd., Furniture Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Zhou Group Shanghai International Trade Co., Ltd. and so on. The company has been rated as the forefront of private enterprises in Shanghai for six consecutive years.
In addition, Mr. Zhou Xiaodi established Pudong Branch in cooperation with Shanghai No.1 Maternal and Infant Health Hospital and Shanghai E.N.T. Hospital in early 2000/KLOC-0 and 2002 respectively, which changed the history that there were no specialized hospitals for women and infants and famous hospitals in Pudong. So far, two luxuriously decorated branches are located side by side in Hua Yao Road, Pudong. They not only have advanced medical facilities, but also spacious and comfortable wards and excellent services, which have won unanimous praise from the society.
At the same time, in March of 20001,Mr. Zhou Xiaodi resolutely invested more than 490 million yuan to establish Shanghai Business Foreign Studies College in Nanhui, Pudong, which is also the first full-time private university in Shanghai invested by local private entrepreneurs. It was founded and opened that year, with complete facilities and first-class facilities. The leaders of teaching disciplines were all introduced from overseas. At present, the teaching area covers an area of 400 mu, with a building area of 6.5438+0.6 million square meters and more than 6,000 students. At present, the college has four languages: English, Japanese, German and French. In terms of professional characteristics, we should closely combine foreign languages with modern technology and foreign languages with enterprise management to cultivate compound and applied talents who know both foreign languages and majors. The college also began to set up an international exchange college. For example, cooperation agreements have been formally signed with John Abbott College and middlesex University in the UK, and the exchange of international students with Tokai University has also begun. In 2003, English competitions were held in universities in six provinces and one city in East China, and Shanghai Institute of Business and Foreign Languages won the first place, which set an example for private universities in China.
