My name is Alan Hsieh, a Chinese American who wishes to pursue my studies in Finance in the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. My interest in this line of study and my choice of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is driven by two primary factors, namely my passion in finance and the high caliber of education available at Wuhan University. The field of finance and financial studies is my passion, and my interest in the field goes back to my formative years. As I grew up, I could not resist the interest that would well up within me as I accompanied my father to business meetings. In my youth his business partners often visited our home and would spend time discussing business with my father as I listened, entranced by the world they inhabited. The desire to learn more about the careers of my father and his friends led to my interest in business and finance.
When you are passionate about something it builds self-drive. I have already launched my career as young entrepreneur. My business can be understood as a simple food -supplier O2O (online to offline) service based on a B2B (Business to Business) system. I am the sole proprietor of the business with five employees, and we are still growing. O2O offers a service which enables organizations to make online orders for us to supply their employees with food either on normal working days or during events thus saving them a lot of man-hours. It may be a tried and true financial maxim, but this business has helped me understand that a good business strives on identifying and satisfying a need in the market, which is what precisely what O2O is doing.
I have opted to do my studies in the field of finance at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics because of its proven track record of training some of the best graduates in the field of finance. With friends and acquaintances that have passed through this institution, I have clearly seen the outstanding character and distinguished intellect of those who are alumni of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Furthermore, I am interested in joining an institution that will help me fulfill my dreams and sharpen my skills in the field in a fashion similar to the investors who first motivated me to pursue this field. In addition, by attending Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, I get to benefit from not only the quality education offered but also the extracurricular activities, as well as guidance from seasoned and respected business executives where I stand to learn a lot.
