Subsequently, Zhang delved into the topic with three main sections in his presentation, namely BOC corporate finance business, the development of cross-border finance, and cross-border finance case studies. Drawing on his extensive financial industry experience and profound theoretical knowledge, Zhang demonstrated the operating mechanisms of financial markets and the characteristics of cross-border finance. Starting from core financial concepts, he expounded on the diversity of financial services and the challenges of cross-border finance, including cross-border regulatory policies, exchange rates, laws, taxes, language barriers, time differences, scope of industries, projects scale, and country-specific risks. Through the three case studies of cross-border financial projects, he provided faculty and students with a deep understanding of the scope of cross-border finance, its practices and achievements, and the importance of integrating theory with practical application.

During the Q&A, Head Zhang actively engaged with the students and answered their questions. The students expressed that they gained a lot from the seminar and looked forward to more practical activities to connect with the industry in real life.
