In 1985 Vimal Shah and his elder brother decided to take their creative idea of manufacturing consumer goods to prospect backers,  unfortunately they did not find anyone to give them a loan. “Unilever will kill you” one of the bankers said to them. When everyone refused to grant them a loan they planned to break down their business into smaller stages, instead of farming seeds at their home, they imported oil from Malaysia in large chunks so as to beat local competition. They went round their country persuading retailers to stock their brands and taking money from them only when they sold. Within no time their determination paid off. Up to date Vimal Shah has bought several brands from Unilever, Vimal and his brother has topped the charts at international rich list at a worth of $1.7 billion.

Wang Jing-Entrepreneur and Leading Contributor of Chinese Telecom Company

Since last many years, business entrepreneur named Wang Jing has remained an outstanding figure in different parts of China by operating his core business in the telecom sector. In the year 1995, he started with his key company named Beijing Xinwei in the form of joint venture in between Cwill Telecommunication and Telecom Technology Company. Here, CWill is one of the well-known telecommunication companies set up by Chen Wei, the former president of Beijing Xinwei. This company has played significant role in development of homegrown wireless technology in China via inclusion of TD-SCDMA, recognized the standard for mobile communication. 


Nevertheless, during the year 2010, Beijing Xinwei foundered with the revenue reported for the year as $21.56 million or 133.8 million Yuan and net profits as $526,900 or 3.27 million Yuan. Later on, during 1999, Wang Qinghui becomes the initial investor of the business unit headed by the business tycoon named Wang Jing with the help of his business venture named as Bonanza Investment Limited. 


Achievement of Xinwei in Telecom Industry

Since the establishment of Xinwei, it has consistently created public telecom networks in combination with various private networks for power, oilfields, transport and grids. The company has succeeded to undergo various global deals to build telecommunication networks in different countries, like Cambodia, Myanmar, Nicaragua and Ukraine. 


According to the comments of Wang about his company, “Xinwei has gained the government's trust, and some government support, but this is entirely because Xinwei's technology is advanced and, more importantly, because Xinwei's technology is the intellectual property of a Chinese company. If Xinwei were an U.S. company it would receive the same kind of support from the U.S. government.Read more from here.
