From Professional Athlete to Entrepreneur丨桨板世界冠军在闵行

Bruno introduced himself to the journalist, "Hello I'm Bruno Hasulyo, born in Hungary, grew up in Italy. And currently living between Pujiang and Portugal. I'm a former world champion of stand up paddle boarding, record holder. And now, I just moved to Pujiang here in Shanghai to continue to work in developing the sport of stand up paddle boarding. I want to be part of it to help the youth and everyone to stay healthy, and just enjoy nature as much as they can."

"I was lucky enough to travel all around the world and see many different groups of stand up paddle boarders. When I came the first time here in China, I saw a really big amount of passionate peddlers, kids and just people in general who wants to get out on the water and discover it. So for me, it was a clear goal to come here and set up my business directly here. So I can be part of this new evolution and of this new movement that is happening here, especially in the Pujiang Region."

"The factory is proceeding really well and we are aiming to have the grand opening towards the end of July. So we are extremely busy at the moment. I have really professional business partner. The government is also a big help to us, providing the best facilities, the best materials and the best engineers that we can dream of. Because they feel our passion to create the best products for the future stand up paddle boarders."

"I love the beauty, like the mix of nature and the evolution of a huge city. And it's beautiful to see that even if Shanghai, in Pujiang, it's incredibly big. It's a really big city. The government still finds the possibility to fill it up with nature. So, for me, that's one of the prettiest things to see is that Pujiang region managed to put nature and a really big city together. I have big plans being here in Pujiang especially having my factory or being part of the building of the factory here. So I will spend more and more time here. I'm slowly adapting to the Chinese lifestyle. I'm sure I will spend roughly more than a half year each year here between all my travels and all my business trips. And I actually really like it. Of course, it's different and slightly challenging but then people and actually the community over here it's really helpful. They make me feel home right away. So I am having a really good feeling about staying here."

出生于匈牙利、成长在意大利的布鲁诺·哈苏里奥最近开启了上海浦江和葡萄牙的“双城生活”。作为一名前桨板运动世界冠军纪录保持者，他来到上海浦江继续投身桨板运动事业，帮助年轻人以及更多人保持健康并尽可能地享受大自然。

“我很幸运在环游世界时看到许多不同的桨板运动爱好者。当我第一次来到中国的时候，我看到了大量的桨板热爱者。小孩子甚至普通人也想要到户外水上探索。因此对我来说 来这里创业的目标是明确的——让我能成为发生在这里的这项新运动革新中的一员，尤其是在浦江地区。

“这是我们在浦江的新工厂，这里是奇迹发生的地方。在这里，我们将制作经得起未来考验的站立式桨板也是前所未有的。结合了我多年来的职业运动生涯经验，现在我们把它引入到了一些非常酷的水上运动设备。

“工厂进行得很顺利，我们计划在7月底开业。因此我们现在很忙。我有很专业的合伙人，政府也帮助了我们很多，给我们提供了最好的设施、最好的材料以及最好的工程师。正是我们梦寐以求的。因为他们感受到了我们为未来立式桨板运动者创造顶级产品的热情。

“我喜欢这里的美，喜欢大自然和大都市发展的结合。即使在上海这样的大都市，在浦江，仍然可以看到自然美景。这是一个非常大的城市，政府仍在寻求让更多的自然风貌充满于城市中。对我来说，最看好的一点就是浦江镇可以将自然风光和城市景观完美融合。

“我在浦江有个大计划，就是拥有我自己的工厂或者成为这一片工厂建筑的其中之一。因此我会花更多时间在这里，我正在慢慢适应中国的生活方式。我确定我将每年在这里度过超过半年的时间，在我所有的差旅之中。

“我真的很喜欢这里。当然，这与以往不同，有一点挑战性，但是这里的人和社区帮了我很多。他们让我立刻有了回到家乡的感觉。因此我觉得待在这里感觉很好。”
