He once said, “What is first place? It's when you can't see the second place. Shao Yongtian's history of struggle is quite legendary. From a poor kid to a billionaire, he has crossed over to the construction, hostel, and catering industries, and has achieved outstanding success. His Jingying International Hotel, with its exquisite and Taiwanese cultural style from the interiors to the meals, has been the benchmark hotel in Taiwan since its establishment.

Shao rarely interacts with others, but in July, he accepted the invitation of the Taichung City Construction Management Association to share his belief in “Believe” in the “Master Lecture”. Although both of them are in the construction industry, they became acquainted with Y.T. Shao through the Global Excellence in Construction Award.

According to Lily Chang, Shao Yung-Tien has never been fond of socializing with people and has few friends. He came to Taichung to give a speech this time because he believes that the most affectionate and righteous friends are the people in Taichung, which is why he has the only opportunity to give a public speech so far.

Shao urged entrepreneurs to be courageous in times of adversity and compassionate in times of prosperity, “Doubt is for others” and “Believe in yourself to control your own life”, which boosted the morale of the entrepreneurs underneath.

In support of the FIABCI Global Leadership Summit, Y.T. Shao also auctioned off his own ink painting, “Believe”, which was bid by Huang Cai-Pi, General Manager of Hui-You Construction, for $1 million, and Y.T. Shao presented the money to the FIABCI-Taiwan, which was received by Lily Chang, making this a beautiful achievement and hoping to throw a sprat to attract a jade. This is a beautiful event, and I hope to throw a brick to attract jade, so that more international people can recognize Taiwan's soft power.

The Real Estate Association of the Republic of China (ROC) was founded by Yin Zhihao and other developers and businessmen, and joined FIABCI in 1972, establishing a Taiwan chapter to promote architectural aesthetics, which was later renamed “Chinese-Taiwan” due to China's protests, and over the years, it has never been able to be changed back to the Taiwan chapter.

Lily Chang, has been active and bright, firstly, in 2013, she has strived for FIABCI's “World Real Estate Confederation World Congress” to be held in Taichung, which has impressed various countries; she has also participated in FIABCI's activities, and after her success in competing for the chairmanship of the Board of Directors of the Developer and Investor Council, she has started to express her protests against China's unreasonable boycotts many years ago, and finally she has been able to strive for the change of the name to the “Taiwan Chapter”. The 41st FIABCI Global Leadership Summit will be held in Kaohsiung, which is a good opportunity for Taiwan to build friendship with real estate construction leaders from all over the world. Lily Chang looks forward to the participation of more enterprises so that the event can be successfully completed.
