On July 23, 2025, a delegation from the Chinese company Ruston GEEGE visited the State University of Management on a working visit.
The foreign guests were represented by Ruston GEEGE CEO Wang Changchun and the company's scientific and educational institute director Jiang Nannan. The delegation was received by GUU Rector Vladimir Stroyev, Vice-Rectors Dmitry Bryukhanov, Maria Karelina and other university representatives.
In his welcoming speech, Vladimir Stroyev noted that contacts between China and Russia have been expanding more and more actively lately. GUU also cooperates with colleagues from universities in China and wants to move to a new level, to agreements with Chinese commercial companies.
"As the leaders of our countries believe, we have a greater future together. GUU has been training Russian businessmen in China for several years now, in particular, in 2023 we conducted internships in Shanghai, and in 2024 – in Beijing. I think it is right to begin direct interaction between the university and Chinese companies," the rector suggested.
Vladimir Vitalyevich told the guests a brief history of the State University of Management, from the Aleksandrovsky Commercial School to the creation of a school for training personnel for the first five-year plans under the leadership of Sergo Ordzhonikidze.
"Since then, our university has been training managers in various sectors of the economy. If you look at the list of our graduates, they are very high-ranking leaders. Currently, this includes Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Patrushev, Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin, deputy ministers, and heads of production. Therefore, we feel a high responsibility in training people of such rank. I believe that future leaders should know China and understand the specifics of your technologies, production, and principles of building work processes, so that the common future of our peoples is happy," Vladimir Stroyev summed up.
Ruston GEEGE CEO Wang Changchun thanked the university leadership for the warm welcome and the opportunity to share his project ideas.
"Our company has been developing in the field of digital trade for over 10 years. We have our own warehouses in Russia, the USA, Brazil, Japan and other countries. We have received 60 patents and developed 20 educational products, which have already been used by about 100 thousand students. We will be happy to discuss with you the possibility of creating our Institute of Digital Economy on the basis of the State University of Management. Mutual integration will give us many new opportunities," said Wang Changchun.
Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Dmitry Bryukhanov spoke about the university’s cooperation with the Shanghai business incubator and the training of our 3rd and 4th year students in China.
"Last year, we conducted an internship in China for 50 Russian businessmen, which Vladimir Vitalyevich already mentioned. All the established connections led to the conclusion of contracts, but this is a drop in the ocean compared to the needs of the businesses of our countries. Now we are faced with the task of creating a training program for Chinese students in Russia and Russian students in China, so that they better understand each other's cultural characteristics and quickly establish interaction. In this regard, your project to create an institute of digital economy seems important and interesting to us," Dmitry Bryukhanov admitted.
Vice-Rector Maria Karelina agreed that the project proposed by the Chinese side was very interesting, but noted that time would be needed to study it in detail and determine ways to join it so that the partnership would be equal and would not violate the established order of the activities of the State University of Management as a state organization.
Director of the scientific and educational institute of Ruston GEEGE Jiang Nannan acquainted the management of the State University of Management with the plans for the creation of the Institute of Digital Economy and the stages of its implementation. Among other things, the project involves the creation of a common scientific and technical base, joint training programs in the field of digital business and the formation of a team of scientific leaders with a three-dimensional matrix of competencies.
Jiang Nannan also spoke about the new project of the Eurasian Alliance for Education in the Sphere of Cross-Border E-Commerce, the result of which will be integration with Russian marketplaces, the creation of a logistics system of the Ruston GEEGE company in Russia, support for Russian enterprises and the training of specialists in the field of cross-border online trade with an expected employment rate of up to 85%. Particular attention in the project will be paid to building a system of security measures for cross-border trade and dynamic pricing.
In response to this, Vladimir Stroyev told the guests about the partnership agreement between GUU and the united company Wildberries and Russ, as well as a business meeting at the SPIEF with its CEO Tatyana Kim. The rector reported that within the framework of the agreement with the marketplace, GUU is already developing an Olympiad for schoolchildren, which means it is moving in the direction that interests its Chinese colleagues.
At the end of the meeting, the parties exchanged contacts, discussed the possibility of further mutual visits and exchanged gifts. Wang Changchun presented Vladimir Stroyev with a traditional scroll with calligraphy by a famous master, which contains wishes for success and prosperity for the university and its students.
