Usually, a superior conference like this level remains a distance from grass-root working class.

However, one of the invited guests is as small as you and me. He is probablythe youngest attendee with the least experience in business; His company is probablythe smallest and the least eye-catchingamong thousand-employee international giants.
Yet he got the invitation from the Forum and Guangzhou government. He is the founder and managing director Jimmy Li ofHiTouchConsulting.

“HiTouch is company’s butler and entrepreneur’s nanny,” Jimmy often jokes.
Growing up under the country’s open-up policy, Jimmy boasts typical characteristics of the post 80s generation: pragmatic and realistic as the last generation yet creative and flexible as they see the world.

Jimmy plays hard, works harder. He often teases himself as the only “senior” in the company, where most of the staff are born in the 90s and later.

Born in a peasant’s family, Jimmy fought his way out to study in first-tier city Shanghai. After graduated from university, he created and explored several businesses in theeducation industrybefore landed in the foreign consulting area with his partner Eric inYiwuback in 2006.

Opportunities always favor the ones who are prepared. Jimmy seized it and headed down to Guangzhou alone to set up HiTouch from scratch.
Staying seven days in the 7 Days Inn, he found an office, his firstthree employeesand a place to live. From the10-square-meter working space, the team spread out on street and office buildings to look for their first batch of clients. It was from them that the company built an extensive network of5,000 customers from around the world.

I feel lucky, to have such a rare opportunity to attend the Forum, to learn and improve myself,” he said.
Only a tolerant government like Guangzhou will grant young entrepreneur this valuable chance. It shows that the government is optimistic about the consulting industry and Fortune Global Forum believes in the Chinese economy.
