Zhejiang has born another rich man, relying on innovation to break the monopoly of foreign technology, worth 42.4 billion
Recommendation: From ancient times to the present, Zhejiang merchants have been an important driving force for China's economic development. Nowadays, in Zhejiang Province, where the private economy is developed, the "Zhejiang model", "Zhejiang experience" and "Zhejiang phenomenon" have been written into textbooks in many places.
Among the current well-known Zhejiang businessmen, a little inventory can be found that in addition to Ma Yun, Ding Lei, Zong Qinghou and others, Huang Zheng, founder of Pinduoduo, Yu Renrong, the richest man in China's chips, WuXi AppTec Li Ge, Zhongtong Express Lai Haisong, etc. are all rich people in Zhejiang, which shows the absolute strength of Zhejiang businessmen.
Today, the author will take you to know a low-key rich man hidden in Zhejiang, his name is Lin Jianhua.
In the rich circle, the name Lin Jianhua is indeed low-key, at first glance many people still think that it is an actor with the same name in the entertainment industry, but in fact, Lin Jianhua is a celebrity in China's photovoltaic industry, and is currently the chairman of Hangzhou Foster Applied Materials Co., Ltd.
Briefly introduced, Foster is a company mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of photovoltaic packaging materials EVA adhesive film and backplane, affiliated to the photovoltaic industry in the field of packaging materials, is the world's leading enterprises in photovoltaic packaging materials. According to the data, the current value of Foster in the A stock market is 123.2 billion.
Thanks to Foster's good performance, Lin Jianhua ranked 96th on the newly released "2021 New Fortune 500 Rich List" with a wealth of 42.4 billion.
However, it is surprising that although Lin Jianhua has a lot of wealth, he is very low-key, as the chairman of a top global EVA film supplier, he has never appeared in the media or expressed his views in the media for many years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > Lin Jianhua's legendary hard work experience</h1>
Lin Jianhua was born in August 1962, graduated from Zhejiang University of Technology majoring in chemical machinery, and was assigned to work in the state-owned Zhejiang Lin'an Fertilizer Factory, from an ordinary technician all the way to the position of deputy director.
In 1994, the 32-year-old Lin Jianhua left the state-owned enterprise to see the outside world and worked as a deputy director in a polymer materials factory that produced a product called hot melt mesh film. As long as you use a thin layer when making the collar, the collar can magically not be wrinkled.
A few years later, Lin Jianhua found that the indispensable film in solar modules was very similar to the film production technology he used on the collar.
In 1998, Lin Jianhua began the road of entrepreneurship and established Foster. At that time, the entire photovoltaic industry was still tepid, but Lin Jianhua, who had a keen sense of the market, decided to plunge into it.
At that time, in the international market of EVA adhesive film, three Japanese companies monopolized the technology and market, and no domestic enterprise could produce this material. Lin Jianhua wants to get a piece of the pie, which is destined to be an easy task.
Immediately after, he did a very surprising thing: from production equipment to manufacturing, to new material research and development testing, Lin Jianhua, who came from a technical background, finally made it through his own groping, and on this basis, he led the R& D team to quickly break the Japanese technology monopoly through technical improvement, and overtook the curve to achieve the industry's first.
In fact, as early as 2008, Foster became the world's number one through advanced technology. Under the leadership of Lin Jianhua, Foster has always attached great importance to scientific and technological innovation, which is the key reason why the company has been able to develop so far and has been in the leading position in the industry.
According to the data, in 2020, Foster achieved operating income of 8.393 billion yuan, an increase of 31.59% over the same period of the previous year; net profit of 1.565 billion yuan, an increase of 63.52% over the same period of the previous year.
Behind the bright performance of the group, Lin Jianhua's spirit of fearless hardship and courage to innovate is indeed worth learning from modern young people.
