Distinguished leaders, distinguished guests:
Hello everyone It's a pleasure to meet with so many enthusiastic women in public.
Mary Kay Inc was founded in 1963 by a 45 year old single mother, with a $5000 savings. The road of entrepreneurship, hardships and dangers. But she always has a dream, hope for women to create an unprecedented opportunity to help them to free to play their potential, realize the dream of life. Today, MaryKay's business all over the world's 35 countries and regions, with annual sales of more than 4000000000 U.S. dollars, with 3500000 independent sales team.
Because we are a female entrepreneur and the establishment of the enterprise, support women's achievements dream is always the most concern of social issues MaryKay. So in 2001, MaryKay's first year of profit in China, the Chinese women's Development Foundation's help and guidance we set up the MaryKay women's venture fund, through the small amount of non interest revolving loans to help Chinese women entrepreneurs.
During the 14 years of the operation of the fund, we have a deeper understanding of the motives of Chinese women entrepreneurs. They have to live, to make their families, children and loved by a better life, but also to bring economic value, promote social and economic development; some are for independence, not dependent on others, living with dignity, but also for the community to bring a more healthy and harmonious atmosphere; some to love, in order to help more people, and help audit will effectively solve social problems, create value for social development...... Marykay fund female entrepreneurs helped 70000 women, behind this there are 70000 touching story.
We know that in China, support for women entrepreneurs and social development is closely related to. Its value lies not only promote the economic and social development, promote the harmony and common prosperity of the family community atmosphere, more important is, for the society to bring the infinite positive energy, to the public spread positive value view.
Every time I talk about a business woman with friends and family, they are deeply moved, but then they will ask me: "so how can I buy their products, really help them a?" In fact, we also found that women entrepreneurs need not just a loan, but a full range of support. Therefore, under the new economic norm, the integration of the Internet thinking mode, the aggregation of social resources, so that more people can pay attention to women entrepreneurs, so that more business women get better business and social reporting, it is particularly important. Therefore, a series of measures for the development of women's Federation of women are of far-reaching significance.
Now, in the public business, innovation and peoples' social and economic environment. I sincerely hope more social organizations and enterprises can work together to focus on women's entrepreneurship, using their own core competitiveness, help women to gain commercial success, realization of personal value. We believe that women realize the dream of the platform will be more broad, and I am looking forward to witness more women entrepreneurs in the future! 3
