Graduating from the Department of Administration, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Administration in 2014, Mr. Nguyen Van Xong has a stable job. However, the thought of a developed future for his homeland is always burning in him. Mr. Xong decided to leave the city and return to Hoai Thanh land (Hoai Nhon, Binh Dinh) to start a business with a familiar plant - the Lotus plant. From here, the Sen Nam Xong production facility was born (2018). With 11 hectares of lotus lake water surface, in addition to lotus products, Mr. Xong also combines tourism and culinary activities in the locality.
Although Mr. Xong's entrepreneurial journey was difficult, he always had the support of functional units, including the faculty of the Faculty of Finance, Banking & Business Administration, Quy Nhon University.
Along with the training mission, over the years, the Faculty of Finance, Banking & Business Administration has always determined that one of the important jobs is to serve the community. Exploiting its strength as a training unit in the field of Business Administration, the Faculty focuses on consulting on startups for individuals in need. Dr. Trinh Thi Thuy Hong, Faculty teacher and startup consultant shared: "Becoming an official mentor for a start-up business like Sen Nam Xong brings benefits to both sides. It is not only sharing information with the unit but also an opportunity for me to learn and cultivate practical knowledge. Hopefully Sen Nam Xong's start-up journey will become increasingly successful, expanding its scale and positioning its own branded lotus products in the market."
