I was appreciated by this company with a rapid expansion of business for my experience on wind power industry, both financial and legal knowledge of WTG business, systematic working method and will to support business segments. The responsibilities of my position can be sorted as follow:  Contract risks assessment  Contract negotiation  Commercial and legal support for overseas project  Data analysis of market and competitions  Government policy study and report  Development and optimization of system procedure The contracts I have dealt with refer to the business cases including, but not limited to EPC, SPA/SHA for SPV, financial leasing, WTG/Components/Soft wares sales, after-sales service etc. I managed to compose the template for internal contract between the company and it’s overseas subsidiaries and another one for engineering change contract between the company and it’s customers. With the help from some IT associates, I set up an online system to standardize the procedure of spare parts and consumables sales. I visited Croatia and Bosnia with CNTIC and SINOSURE for project development in 2018.

This JV between Shanghai Electric and Siemens is where I started my career. I was hired as a system engineer for the first one year. Then I was transferred to overseas project sales position. Finally, I entered the Business Administration department, reported directly to CFO and with assistance of 2 junior accountants, mainly focused on management of sales and business through the following aspects:  Cost analysis of project  Pricing strategy study and modification  Contract risks assessment  AR management and report  Business Plan Drafting I learnt a lot from the company. I knew the WTG products, what they consist of, the cost models of them, where to put them, macro-siting, micro-siting, the basic principle between wind speed and power generation, how to set up a wind farm, how much it costs, CAPEX, OPEX, PPA with the grid, government policy, what a wind farm developer expects to gain and avoid, and what a manufacturer expects to gain and avoid... almost everything to encourage my enthusiasm as well as enhance my confidence about working in this industry.
