During the past months I have become impressed by the characteristics of your company.Tonight I would like to highlight some of these characteristics.
I have sensed real friendship among the founders of Wellhope which I find truly special.As you know, we are a family company, so I know the power of long term commitment.You are a big family of talented people who are prepared to commit their lives to Wellhope. This friendship among the founders will remain an incredible source of power.
The decision to donate shares to your best managers proves that the founders understand the psychology of their employees. It proves that the founders respect the hardships of their managers. I am sure that the loyalty of the founders to their managers will be rewarded by even more loyalty these managers to what has become "their company".
The decision to give talented managers the opportunity to participate in Wellhope also proves that you have a great warm heart. You find more joy in sharing your wealth than in consuming it. Therefore I conclude that it is pride that drives you greed.
This is in fact one of the core elements of the Christian belief, to try to love one another more than you love yourself. I guess that’s why I appreciate it so much when I see that you choose to share instead of choosing to consume.
We have been impressed by the competencies of Wellhope in the field of marketing.Of course, we have been impressed by your skills in managing your growth strategy. of course, We have been impressed by your great financial performance until now.But I think that in the end, marketing, strategy performance were decisive for our investment.Of course marketing, strategy performance are very important. These kinds of things were conditions precedent to our cooperation, but I think there is something else which is even more important in business.
When I was in University I was a member of an old student club with more
than 1000 members.The name of the building we came together was called Mutua Fides. Mutua Fides is Latin for Mutual Trust. The friendship among the founders, their loyalty to their personnel, their pride their ability to share, have grown our confidence trust in you., as always, this trust has formed the solid basis for our decision to invest in Wellhope. Thank you very much for the trust that you have placed in us. I would like to bring out a toast with the words: "Mutua Fides".

在同你们接触的几个月中,禾丰公司与禾丰人所表现出来的特质给我留下了非常深刻的印象。今天晚上我想重点谈谈这些与众不同的特质。
我总是能感受到禾丰创业者之间那种真正的友谊,那是一种超乎寻常的情谊。你们知道,我们公司是一个家族企业,所以我们很了解长久的彼此信赖与合作对企业发展所产生的影响。事实上,你们同样也是一个大家族,由一群致力于献身禾丰事业、才华横溢的人才组成。创业者的团结和友谊将会产生令人难以置信的、可持续性的企业发展动力。
你们决定同优 秀管理者分享股权,证明了禾丰创业者充分理解员工,充分尊重他们为公司所做出的贡献。我坚信这些新股东将以加倍的忠诚来回报你们对他们的慷慨,因为公司已经成为了他们自己的公司。你们给优 秀的管理人员成为公司拥有者的机会,也证明了你们拥有伟大而宽广的胸怀。你们深知与同伴分享财富,将会得到比使用财富更大的幸福。因此我得出结论,共襄盛举是引领你们事业的价值观而绝非贪婪独有。
其实,爱其他人胜过爱自己是基督徒的核心信仰之一,这也是当我得知你们选择了分享而不是独占财富的时候,我感到由衷钦佩和欣赏的原因。
禾丰公司的营销实力给我们留下了深刻的印象,当然,我们也对你们的发展战略、目前卓著的经营业绩赞叹不已,但最终促使我们决定投资的并非是这些因素。当然,这些都很重要,是我们合作的前提。但我认为在商业合作中,还有比这些硬件条件更为重要的东西。
我在读大学的时候,是一个由1000多人组成的老学生俱乐部的成员,我们经常聚会的那个地方名字叫做“Mutua Fides”,是拉丁文“相互信任”的意思。
禾丰创业者之间的深厚情谊,他们对员工的热爱,以及他们乐于分享的精神,极大地增强了我们对禾丰的信心和信任,这种信任为我们决定在禾丰投资奠定了坚实的基础。
非常感谢你们给予我们的信任。最后,请允许我用“Mutua Fides”向大家祝酒,让我们为彼此间的“相互信任”,干杯!
