From the leader of an event of 20 or so years ago to this:

Quite a story...difficult life experiences, education, struggle, hard work, success and still has his youth.

Interesting article. He is in many ways a typical Chinese businessman who understands how to garner guanxi. I noticed how when he first came to America he used the connections he had to generate even better ones. He is obviously extremely intelligent to have learned English and earn so many college degrees in a fairly short period of time. He was also clever to make his biggest success from a country he understands by using connections he already had. If I had to cast a doubt on him it would be how well he understands funds outside of Asia.

Well, as the article states, his record minus BYD is not that good. But assuming that he can continue that success in Asia, or even just China alone, would sure make him a good candidate. Asia, particularly China, is where the best investment opportunities will be now and well into the future.

 

What I found interesting in the article is his apparent persistence and perseverance. He had a rough start in the late 90's and was still able to get himself through it and to where he is today. Good for him.
