1. Entrepreneurial Achievements
Resolutely resigned and set up a factory to start a business. In the early 1990s, electric mopeds had quietly emerged in the domestic market. However, the quality and performance of domestic lead-acid batteries reached The requirements for use were not met. At this time, Zhou Mingming, who was born in a battery family and loved chemical technology, resolutely resigned from his position as a teacher in 1995 and set up a battery factory, determined to develop high-quality domestic batteries. At the beginning of his business, the battery factory only had 8,000 employees. Yuan start-up capital, three simple houses, and more than a dozen employees.
