3. Personal resume
Born in p>1958
Wang Xuehong graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a master's degree in economics in 1981. In 1982, he joined the PC division of Volkswagen and served as the general manager of the PC division of Volkswagen. In 1988, he founded VIA Electronics and HTC in 1997. At present, he is the chairman of Taiwan Province VIA, HTC International, Jianda International and Quanta International.
4. Study experience
Wang Xuehong, the chairman of Taiwan Province VIA Group, was born in 1958. Her mother is Yang Jiao, Mr. Wang Yongqing's second wife. Wang Xuehong is the third of the eight girls in the Wang family. Taking her father as a model since childhood, she has developed a character that dares to struggle and succeed on the road of life. As early as she graduated from Taipei High School, she went to the University of California, Berkeley to study economics alone, and since then she has joined the ranks of her brothers and sisters who have already studied in the United States. Because her brothers and sisters are all in other states, Wang Xuehong lives alone in a Jewish host family in San Francisco. At that time, Wang Xuehong was the only China student in this school. In Berkeley, without a relative around, Wang Xuehong learned the way to overcome loneliness, that is, he often went to the library, or stayed in the dormitory, doing his homework under the quilt, and reading novels and essays by Lu Xun, Ba Jin and Yu Guangzhong after finishing his homework. In this way, day by day, although I feel a little tired, it is very fulfilling. While studying at Berkeley, she dreamed of becoming a musician since she was a child. It seems that she is not so interested in the economy and likes listening to music after class. Wang Xuehong, who plays the piano well, often participates in school music composition or performance competitions, and tries her best to join the composition group of the Music Department of Berkeley, which is always ranked first and second in the United States. Here, she opened her eyes and saw for the first time how deep and broad the hall of music is. She always thinks she has a little musical talent here, only to find that her composition level is really different from that of other students. Therefore, she secretly can't help laughing at her childish ideas. When someone else composes music, he jumps a note from his heart, and a piece of music soon succeeds, but he thinks for a long time before jumping out a note. In this way, she found that she was not cut out for music.
In the face of failure
Since then, Wang Xuehong has strengthened its confidence in studying economy. When she got a master's degree in economics at Berkeley, she returned to Taiwan Province with her husband, Yong Xi Qu, and entered the Taiwan Province Volkswagen Computer Company founded by her second brother-in-law Jane Ren and her sister Wang Xueling, mainly responsible for export business. After all, Wang Xuehong, who is new to business, is still inexperienced. She was cheated out of $7, in her first business. The creditor cheated the money and fled to Spain. Wang Xuehong, who was somewhat stubborn, chased it to Spain, rented an apartment in Barcelona, and hired a bodyguard assistant to recover the debt. I lived in Barcelona for half a year, but I didn't get even a dime back. She had to go home empty-handed. The first time she failed, she began to think of "destroying" her sister's and brother-in-law's company and "feeling that her world was finished". In turn, she felt that she could not sink down, but should fight for the world independently.
6. Get back on your feet
How can Wang Xuehong, who has her father Wang Yongqing's "desperate saburo" character, be willing to fail? It is this painful failure that has inspired her determination to do great things. After many efforts, Wang Xuehong intends to devote herself to the high-tech industry. In September, 1988, when Wang Xuehong bought VIA Company in the hands of American businessmen with 5 million yuan, VIA was still a little-known company in the international chip industry and was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management. This is where Wang Xuehong began her difficult entrepreneurial journey. In 1994, the giant of IC industry, Intel Corporation, began to enter Taiwan Province. This means that Taiwan Province's chip market will be occupied by Intel. This is undoubtedly a great threat to VIA, which has just started. At this time, Wang Xuehong, the female boss of VIA, took Lenovo in the mainland as an example and erected the banner of national industry. While improving the scientific and technological content of chips, she launched the advertisement of "VIA chip, the core of China" and "Chinese people use Chinese core", which penetrated into the hearts of every Taiwan Province citizen and began fierce competition with Intel.
7. VIA Chip
There are many opinions in the industry. Some people say that Wang Xuehong has overreached himself, while others say that VIA and Intel collide, just like a shrimp hitting a crocodile, and it has to die. In terms of scale, VIA's market value is only NT$ 3 million, and its global employees are only 3,. Intel's market value is 7 times that of VIA, and its employees are 8, elite soldiers. Faced with such disparity between the two parties, Wang Xuehong relied on its unique business philosophy and strategy, and after several years of hard work, by 1997, VIA Electronics had entered the world-class level in the field of IC design, and became the second largest chip company in the world after Intel. By the end of the 2th century, the competition in the world chip market could be described as "cruel", and VIA Wang Xuehong founded by Wang Xuehong was in an invincible position. At the beginning, VIA invested only NT$ 5 million, but now it has developed into a large enterprise with an annual turnover of NT$ 3 billion. And Wang Xuehong ranks fifth in Taiwan Province's rich list. It can be said that Wang Xuehong is almost equal to his third-ranked father. Wang Xuehong herself has become the richest woman entrepreneur in Taiwan Province, and of course she has also become a veritable rich woman in Taiwan Province. Wang Xuehong has risen rapidly in the IC field. When people ask her what her secret is, she always weakens her role in many ways, covering her peers and subordinates with brilliance. One of the main reasons for her success is that she has concentrated a group of male masters in the IC field. Especially in VIA, Chen Wenqi and Lin Zimu, both of whom are called left and right arms by Wang Xuehong, both graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering of California Institute of Technology. When Wang Xuehong was worried about developing new varieties of chips, she met Chen Wenqi, who was an engineer at Intel at that time, and Lin Zimu, who was called a genius in mathematics and physics. From then on, the three of them joined hands to create a new VIA with Wang Xuehong as the chairman. Chen Wenqi is the general manager of VIA, mainly responsible for product research and development, and Lin Zimu is mainly responsible for planning strategy. From then on, people called them VIA's "Three Musketeers".
8. acquire a controlling stake in TVB
On January 26th, 211, Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (TVB) announced on the evening of 26th that Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., as the company's major shareholder, would sell its 26% stake in TVB to Chen Guoqiang, the chairman of Dexiang Enterprise, Wang Xuehong, the daughter of the late Wang Yongqing, the founder of Formosa Plastics Group, and Providence Equity Partners. This means that the largest TV station in Hong Kong at present has changed hands after the legendary businessman Shao Yifu, who is over 1 years old, took over for more than 3 years. The statement also said that the current management will remain unchanged, while Jonathan Nelson, CEO of Chen Guoqiang, Wang Xuehong and Providence, will be elected to join the TVB board of directors.
