On April 1, 2026, exchange students from Dhurakij Pundit University in Thailand and postgraduate students from the Master of Professional Accounting(MPAcc) program at Shantou University visited Guangdong Malion New Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Malion New Materials”) for an exchange and study tour. Chen Wenchuan, Head of Department of Accounting & Finance,School of Business, and Jiang Jiamei, from Office of International Exchange and Cooperation, participated in the event. Malion New Materials’ President Yi Dongsheng, Employee Director Xu Xiaopeng, and Assistant President Qiu Wei extended a warm reception.
President Yi Dongsheng warmly welcomed the teachers and students from Shantou University and guided them on a tour of the company’s production lines. Drawing on his own experience and the company’s development practices, he shared valuable insights on career development with the students. Yi Dongsheng stated that career development does not have to be limited to one's major, and there can be good development paths across fields and majors. Young students should be brave enough to break through boundaries and actively adapt to changes in the times. He particularly stressed that in modern enterprise management, the integration of business and finance is a core competency requirement. Finance professionals must go beyond traditional bookkeeping and calculation, deeply engage in the entire business process, and continuously enhance their comprehensive management capabilities and cross-functional collaboration skills, so as to become core value creators for the enterprise.
During the discussion session, the students actively raised questions on topics such as career planning, the practice of finance transformation, cross‑border enterprise management, and refined cost control. President Yi Dongsheng and the senior management team provided detailed answers one by one, drawing on industry trends and the company’s realities. The lively interaction brought highly practical industry knowledge and inspiration to the students. This visit not only built a high‑quality platform for business school students to get up close to a leading industry player, perceive the industrial frontier, and learn hands‑on experience, but also allows Thai exchange students to have close contact with Chaozhou business enterprises, learn the spirit of Chaozhou business, and deeply understand the core connotations of Chaozhou business “pragmatism, innovation, integrity, and resilience”, enhancing cultural and professional exchanges between Chinese and Thai students.
Looking ahead, the School will continue to deepen cooperation with high-quality enterprises such as Meilian New Materials, expand practical teaching channels, innovate collaborative education models, and focus on cultivating compound business talents with professional qualities, practical abilities, and international perspectives, contributing to regional economic development and industrial upgrading.
