Benchmark Case of BBQ Global Service Plan

Core Highlights Summary

Taking the China International Graphene Industry Union (CIGIU) as the core test subject, this case practices the core philosophy of the BBQ Global Service Plan: "Trust as the Foundation, Trustee as the Path, Faith as the Soul". It verifies the scientificity and sustainability of the contract-free member empowerment model, with the following core highlights:

Case 1 (Decade-Long Comprehensive Empowerment)

Centered on the three-dimensional boundless empowerment of "Time, Capital, and Wisdom", BBQ provided CIGIU with 18 million yuan in contract-free angel investment, ten years of continuous companionship, and connections to world-class global resources. This successfully transformed CIGIU from a startup into an international non-profit organization with 18 branches worldwide, confirming the sustainable development path of "industrialization of public welfare and socialization of business benefits" and providing replicable experience for empowering various members.

Case 2 (Practice of Visit to the United Arab Emirates)

In 2016, BBQ allocated special funds to support CIGIU’s visit to the UAE Royal Family and the organization of the China-UAE Graphene Industry Summit Forum without a contract. It achieved three breakthroughs: high-level engagement (audience with Sheikh Khalifa), physical cooperation (China-Israel Group’s project launch in the Middle East), and global network expansion (establishment of the Abu Dhabi branch). This vividly demonstrated the value of "contract-free trust-based cooperation" and decoded the core logic of member collaborative empowerment.

Case 1: Validating the "Trust-Trustee-Faith" Member Empowerment and Sustainable Development Model with CIGIU

The BBQ Global Service Plan of the CCC Club has always taken "forging a human future of cooperation without gaming" as its mission. Upholding the core philosophy of "Trust as the Foundation, Trustee as the Path, Faith as the Soul", it has devoted itself to exploring sustainable empowerment paths for institutional, individual, and corporate members. Based on the profound insight that "human nature encompasses both angelic and demonic facets that are mutually transformable", BBQ founder and angel investor Lin Yaoxian selected the China International Graphene Industry Union (CIGIU) as the core test subject. Through a decade of contract-free, all-round support, he successfully verified the scientificity and sustainability of the BBQ Global Service Plan’s member empowerment system, creating a benchmark case that deeply integrates theory and practice.

I. Original Intention of the Experiment: Taking CIGIU as a Sample to Anchor the Core Logic of Member Empowerment

The core vision of the BBQ Global Service Plan is to build a member cooperation ecosystem that transcends blood ties and breaks the shackles of interest gaming. The key to this ecosystem lies in accurately judging the original aspiration and potential of members (institutions, individuals, enterprises) and practicing the human experiment of "non-blood relations can surpass blood relations". When CIGIU was in its initial preparation phase in 2016, the graphene industry was still in an exploratory, early stage, facing significant technological transformation challenges and an unclear market outlook. The firm conviction and efficient execution of its core founding team made it the ideal sample for the BBQ Plan to verify its member empowerment model.

Lin Yaoxian firmly believes that over-reliance on contracts in traditional business cooperation essentially weakens trust. The core proposition the BBQ Plan urgently needed to verify was: With a common faith as the bond and long-term trust as the support, can institutional members form a deep symbiotic relationship with the Plan, achieving the sustainable development of "industrialization of public welfare and socialization of business benefits"? The core reason for choosing CIGIU was that its mission—"promoting global graphene technological innovation and industrialization to advance human sustainable development"—was highly aligned with the core faith of the BBQ Plan, laying a solid spiritual foundation for verifying the member empowerment model.

II. Experimental Path: Three-Dimensional Boundless Empowerment to Fulfill Member Support Commitments

To fully verify its ability to empower institutional members, the BBQ Plan provided unreserved, contract-free, all-round support to CIGIU’s core founding team and the Union itself, centered on the three dimensions of "Time, Capital, and Wisdom". This extreme practice tested the depth and breadth of member empowerment.

(1) Capital Empowerment: Pure Support from 18 Million RMB in Angel Investment

The BBQ Plan directly injected tens of millions of RMB in self-owned angel capital (an initial 2 million RMB in cash plus fixed asset financing in Shenzhen), practicing the BBQ new economic theory: Through three-dimensional, all-round empowerment of Time (over 10 years), Capital (18 million RMB), and Wisdom (the political dignitary network of the CCC Global Presidential Friends Club), it explores a new economic model of "industrialization of public welfare and socialization of business benefits" under the "Trust-Trustee-Faith" framework.

No commercial contracts were signed throughout the process, and funds were used entirely in line with CIGIU’s development needs. This covered the core startup costs of the Union’s establishment and specifically guaranteed global travel expenses for CIGIU’s core founding team and the institution—from connecting with top European and American research institutes and negotiating international cooperation projects, to setting up branches in 18 countries and integrating global industrial resources. This unconditional funding allowed CIGIU’s core team to focus on its mission and expand its international footprint without worries, laying a solid material foundation for the Union to rapidly grow into a core organization in the global graphene industry.

(2) Time Empowerment: A Decade of Companionship and Adherence to a Long-Termist Membership Concept

The BBQ Plan’s support for CIGIU was not a short-term investment, but a decade of continuous companionship and targeted empowerment. From the Union’s initial integration of global university and research institute resources, to the establishment of the Beijing Institute of Graphene Technology (BIGT) by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials (the Union’s chairmanship unit), and then to assisting BIGT in undertaking the task of building a national graphene manufacturing innovation center; from helping CIGIU build an international exchange and cooperation platform, to supporting it in establishing an industry-university-research resource sharing mechanism and promoting industrial standard system construction. The BBQ Plan consistently provided strong support at every key juncture of CIGIU’s development, accumulating trust over time and fulfilling its commitment to the sustainable empowerment of institutional members with long-termism.

(3) Wisdom Empowerment: Opening Global Resources to Boost Member Value Upgrade

Leveraging the global network advantages of the BBQ Plan, Lin Yaoxian introduced world-class top experts to CIGIU’s core founding team, including:

Dr. Shi Xiu (Doctor of Engineering from Germany, known as the "Father of Taiwan's LED Industry"; son of General Shi Jue, an anti-Japanese hero of the Republic of China and former Commander-in-Chief of Taiwan’s Defense; and blood nephew of His Excellency Zhang Zhengquan, a member of the CCC Global Presidential Friends Club).

Professor Fang Danqun, a world-renowned scientist long committed to the discipline establishment and industrialization of noise control engineering, environmental physics, and biophysical informatics (founder of the World Science and Finance Group and the American Academy of Advanced Sciences, who passed away in the U.S. under special circumstances, with details to be further disclosed).

These top scientists deeply participated in core cooperation work such as the Union’s system construction and cross-border intellectual property protection, injecting high-end intellectual support into CIGIU’s development.

At the same time, the BBQ Plan opened its own international channels to help CIGIU establish in-depth cooperation with multinational enterprises and local governments, promoting the coordinated development of "government, industry, university, research, and application". This boundless sharing of wisdom and resources not only accelerated CIGIU’s growth, but also made it deeply experience the all-round empowerment value of the BBQ Global Service Plan, becoming an important driving force for the Union to continue deepening its industry layout and fulfilling its mission.

III. Experimental Results: CIGIU’s Leapfrog Development Confirms the Feasibility of the Empowerment Model

After a decade of practice, CIGIU has grown from a startup to an international non-profit organization headquartered in Beijing with 18 branches worldwide, bringing together top scientific research forces, key enterprises, and financial institutions in the global graphene field. BIGT, established by its chairmanship unit, is steadily advancing the construction of the national graphene manufacturing innovation center, becoming an important driver of global graphene industry development.

CIGIU’s leapfrog development is not only the result of its core founding team’s commitment and hard work, but also a comprehensive verification of the success of the BBQ Global Service Plan’s member empowerment model:

For institutional members, the "Trust-Trustee-Faith" cooperation model breaks the constraints of traditional business cooperation and effectively stimulates organizational innovation.

For individual and corporate members, this model fully proves that long-term trust based on common faith can build deep cooperative relationships beyond interest gaming, achieving a win-win for individuals, enterprises, and society.

This experiment with CIGIU as a sample provides replicable and scalable practical experience for the BBQ Global Service Plan to empower various members. In the future, the BBQ Plan will continue to uphold this core model, providing all-round support for more institutional, individual, and corporate members, so that the concept of "cooperation without gaming" takes root in people’s hearts, and continues to write a win-win chapter of member empowerment and sustainable development on the path to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Case 2: Validating the "Trust-Trustee-Faith" Member Empowerment Model Through CIGIU’s Visit to the United Arab Emirates

The BBQ Global Service Plan of the CCC Club has always taken "Forging a human future of cooperation without gaming" as its mission and upheld the core philosophy of "Trust as the Foundation, Trustee as the Path, Faith as the Soul", devoting itself to exploring sustainable empowerment paths for institutional, individual and corporate members. Based on the profound insight that "Human nature encompasses both angelic and demonic facets that are mutually transformable", Lin Yaoxian, founder of BBQ and an angel investor, selected the China International Graphene Industry Union (CIGIU) as the core test subject. Among all initiatives, the support provided for CIGIU’s visit to the UAE Royal Family and the organization of the China-UAE Graphene Industry Summit Forum in 2016 has become a pivotal example for verifying the scientificity and sustainability of the BBQ member empowerment system, and vividly demonstrated the value of "contract-free trust-based cooperation".

I. Experimental Opportunity: Taking the Royal Visit as a Gateway to Test Institutional Members’ Capability of Global Resource Integration

2016 marked a critical period of economic transformation for both China and the UAE. The UAE was in urgent need to break away from its reliance on the petroleum industry and march toward the "post-oil era" by virtue of scientific and technological innovation; meanwhile, China ranked among the world’s forefront in both graphene patent reserves (accounting for approximately one-third of the global total) and industrialization practice, leading to an extremely pressing demand for cooperation between the two sides in the graphene industry.

At that time, CIGIU planned to conduct high-level engagement and industrial promotion in the UAE, yet was confronted with multiple financial and resource challenges such as the formation of a visiting delegation, connection with royal resources and conference preparation. This scenario presented the perfect opportunity for the BBQ Plan to test its institutional member empowerment model: by providing contract-free financial and resource support, it would observe whether CIGIU’s core founding team could effectively integrate global resources and achieve international cooperation goals, thus verifying whether "non-blood trust" could be translated into tangible cooperation outcomes.

The BBQ Plan resolutely allocated special funds from the 18 million RMB angel investment to fully support CIGIU’s visit: the funding not only covered the basic costs such as round-trip transportation and accommodation for the 20-member delegation (including the Union’s Executive Vice Chairman, Secretary-General, heads of multiple global branches, international experts and entrepreneurs), but also provided sufficient financial guarantee for core links such as forum venue rental (Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi and Atlantis The Palm in Dubai) and coordination with the royal family. No commercial contracts were signed throughout the entire process; only the shared faith of "Promoting China-UAE graphene cooperation and practicing global industrial synergy" served as the bond, and the full right to fund allocation was entrusted to CIGIU’s core team. This ultimate trust was a test of the team’s executive capacity and sense of mission.

II. Experimental Outcomes: Remarkable Empowerment Achievements from the Visit, Forging a Benchmark for International Cooperation

With the dual support of funds and resources from the BBQ Plan, CIGIU’s visit to the UAE achieved groundbreaking outcomes. It not only fully verified CIGIU’s own international operation capabilities, but also vividly demonstrated the practical value of the BBQ member empowerment model, realizing multiple breakthroughs in high-level engagement, physical cooperation and network improvement.

(1) A Breakthrough in High-Level Dialogue, Building a Cooperation Bridge Between Governments and the Royal Family

The CIGIU delegation successfully obtained an audience with Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi, UAE. With the full support of the Prince’s Office, the delegation co-hosted the China-UAE Graphene Industry Summit Forum. At the forum, Sheikh Khalifa clearly stated that he would fully advance the development of CIGIU in the UAE and hoped to leverage graphene technology to boost the country’s industrial upgrading; Counselor He Song from the Economic and Commercial Office of the Chinese Embassy in the UAE also highly recognized this cooperation and promised to provide all-round support for the development of CIGIU member enterprises in the UAE.

This breakthrough in high-level engagement between the "government and the royal family" was inseparable from the early financial groundwork laid by the BBQ Plan: sufficient funding allowed the delegation to focus on connecting with core resources instead of being constrained by cost pressures, ultimately achieving a leap from "non-governmental cooperation to official support" and laying a solid high-level foundation for China-UAE graphene industrial cooperation.

(2) Landing of Physical Cooperation, Activating the Industrial Value of Corporate Members

During the visit, empowered by the trust ecosystem built by BBQ, CIGIU’s corporate members reached a number of substantive cooperation agreements with enterprises in the UAE and the Middle East, truly materializing the concept of "socialization of business benefits":

China-Israel Group, a member unit of CIGIU, fully demonstrated its world-leading second-generation optical fiber technology and R&D achievements in graphene optical communication through the forum platform. After the forum, it formally signed legal documents with the UAE Royal Diamond Group and Ximeng Fund, planning to jointly establish a joint venture in Abu Dhabi to build a second-generation optical fiber production base and a graphene industrialization R&D center.

Coordinated by the CIGIU Riyadh Branch in Saudi Arabia, China-Israel Group also signed a Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement with representatives of the Saudi Abdullah family, clearly finalizing the entry of second-generation optical fiber products into the Saudi market and matters related to base investment, successfully opening the Middle East market channel for corporate members.

The landing of these cooperation projects not only brought tangible market benefits to CIGIU’s corporate members, but also confirmed the core concept of BBQ’s "socialization of business benefits"—realizing the symbiotic win-win of corporate profits and regional economic development through international cooperation, and unifying commercial value and social value.

(3) Establishment and Rooting of a Branch, Improving the Global Service Network

Another key achievement of this visit was the official establishment of the CIGIU Abu Dhabi Branch. Sheikh Khalifa and Gu Yan, Executive Vice Chairman of CIGIU, jointly unveiled the branch and clarified its three core functions: connecting the Union’s global resources to member enterprises in the Middle East, collecting regional technological and industrial demands, and organizing various exchange activities to promote complementary resources among members.

The establishment of the Abu Dhabi Branch further extended CIGIU’s global branch network (which already covered core cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen and New York at that time) to the core area of the Middle East, improving the Union’s global service layout. The starting point of this achievement was precisely the financial and resource support provided by the BBQ Plan for this visit—without the early high-level engagement and forum groundwork, the establishment of the branch would have been impossible.

III. Experimental Insights: Decoding the Core Logic of BBQ Member Empowerment

The success of CIGIU’s visit to the UAE provided three pivotal insights for the member empowerment model of the BBQ Global Service Plan, further clarifying the practical path of "Trust-Trustee-Faith":

First, financial trust is the foundation.Contract-free special fund support enabled the core team of the institutional member to break away from the consideration of short-term interests and focus on long-term cooperation goals. This "trust-first" model can better stimulate an organization’s innovative vitality and sense of responsibility than traditional contract constraints.

Second, resource synergy is the key.The BBQ Plan not only provided financial support, but also connected CIGIU to world-class core resources through its own global network, enabling the formation of a synergistic closed loop of "institutional members + corporate members + international resources" and realizing an empowerment effect of "1+1>2".

Third, faith resonance is the core.The shared faith of China and the UAE in "graphene driving sustainable development" made non-blood relations surpass interest gaming, ultimately achieving a full-chain breakthrough from high-level dialogue to corporate cooperation, and confirming the feasibility of BBQ’s mission of "cooperation without gaming".

This visit case has become a classic sample for the BBQ Plan to verify the coordinated development of institutional, individual and corporate members: institutional members (CIGIU) achieved breakthroughs in international operations with financial support; corporate members (China-Israel Group) gained broad market opportunities by virtue of the platform; individual members (experts and entrepreneurs) expanded core resources through exchanges. All of this originated from the practical implementation of BBQ’s "Trust-Trustee-Faith" philosophy.

In the future, the BBQ Plan will continue to empower more members in a similar model, allowing the concept of "TOPSUN Capital" of "One Global Family, Industrial Symbiosis" to take root in more international cooperation initiatives, continuously practice the mission of "Forging a human future of cooperation without gaming", and write a new chapter in member empowerment and sustainable development.
