Speaking at the award ceremony, Duong Long Thanh, chairman of the 2030 Business Club, said the picture had been nurtured and completed over two years.
Thousands of moments involving thousands of entrepreneurs contributing to social activities were put together in one picture, creating an indistinguishable value and showcasing the invaluable contributions of entrepreneurs.
The jointly-owned picture is being displayed at the headquarters of the Saigon Times Group as a way to preserve its value.
The total value of VND1 billion will be used by the 2030 Business Club for charity activities in the future.

Some 16 years ago, at the library of the HCMC Banking Academy, Thoi Bao Kinh Te Saigon newspaper was one of the most important documents of reference for the students of the academy such as myself, Phuc said.
One day, while reading Thoi Bao Kinh Te Saigon newspaper, he suddenly learned about the 2030 Business Club and felt a deep respect for entrepreneurs. At that time, he knew he would join the club one day.
After joining the club and receiving the picture, the memories seemed to become a reality. As such, Phuc and the Phu Dong Group will treasure this picture.

In addition, Phuc expressed a big thank you to the Saigon Times Group and the Saigon Times Club, especially the 2030 Business Club, for awarding the firm this gift.
The picture comprising images of the 18-year journey of the 2030 Business Club and the images of seniors will help build up strength and garner motivation to overcome difficulties, Phuc said.
The picture depicts all the operations of the 2030 Business Club over the past 18 years. This is a valuable gift for the owners, said Pham Huu Chuong, deputy editor-in-chief of The Saigon Times Group.
“When we feel disoriented and confused about life and our occupation, we can look at the picture to find new inspiration to achieve more success and create new vitality for the firm. This is the biggest meaning of the picture,” he added.

Tran Duc Vinh, chairman of Tran Anh Group, said that as the firm, which is located in Long An Province, was far from HCMC, he was very pleased and lucky to be visited by representatives of the Saigon Times Group, the Saigon Times Club and its affiliated clubs. The picture and the visit will motivate Tran Anh Group to develop further in the future.
