Geely University President Que Haibao delivered a speech at the opening ceremony. He said that the "Cornerstone Plan" is an endogenous core talent project created by Geely Holding Group by integrating resources across the entire industry chain, aiming to cultivate high-quality applied, practical backbone talents for key industry directions. Since its launch in 2025, the "Cornerstone Plan" has cumulatively trained over 600 outstanding trainees. The 2026 "Cornerstone Plan" is being implemented simultaneously at four institutions: Geely University, University of Sanya, Nanning Digital Technology College, and Xiangtan Institute of Technology, covering twelve core projects with over 1,500 students participating. This model fully implements the "Three Campuses" talent cultivation concept proposed by Chairman Li Shufu. The scale, comprehensiveness, and quality of resources of this intensive training mark an important milestone for the "Cornerstone Plan".

Focusing on the original intention of education and the mission of growth, President Que Haibao encouraged all trainees to adhere to the concepts of "Three Campuses" and "Tailored for Each Individual", ensuring education returns to industry, industry gives back to education, and talents take root in industry. He put forward four expectations for the trainees: to "Focus", identifying the right track and leveraging strengths; to "Gather Resources", pooling resources and growing through practical experience; to "Pool Strength", collaborating and advancing together, applying learning to practice; and to "Unite Hearts", holding firm beliefs and serving the nation through industry, breaking through themselves on the platform of the "Cornerstone Plan" and delivering impressive results through practical action.

The training lasts for one week, with courses focusing on four core modules: brand, culture, technology, and Yuan Power保障. It is同步配套 with diversified特色育人 activities such as F1 racing simulation, G-Talker脱口秀比赛, and class风采展示, breaking the单一 classroom teaching mode and allowing students to "learn by doing", seeing the power of growth in immersive practical training,趣味性比拼, and teamwork协作.

With the stance of a cornerstone, building the dreams of youth! Geely Holding Group Chairman Li Shufu sent warm blessings to all Cornerstone trainees: He encouraged young students to cultivate independent thinking能力, have lofty ideals,放下功利心态, take root in基层历练, and沉淀脚踏实地, accumulating experience and锤炼内功 in岗位实践. He寄语 all participating students to一定要读书, but learn to read selectively.一定要接地气, closely integrating with the actual conditions of the industry, enterprise, society, and positions, to实践, to努力, to拼搏, to探索.
