In 2011, a huge donation attracted the attention of people at home and abroad.
A Chinese entrepreneur donated US$10 million to , University of California, Riverside. White, the principal of this school, told the media: This is the largest personal donation ever made by the school .
In order to thank this Chinese entrepreneur for his donation to American schools, University of California, Riverside named the second construction building completed after him.
This incident aroused the indignation and condemnation of the Chinese people. Not only because of the $10 million donation, but also because of an interview after the entrepreneur donated.
So who is this rich Chinese entrepreneur? Why should he donate such a large sum of money? What did he say that caused dissatisfaction among the Chinese people?
At the beginning of 2000, when the whole world was immersed in the joy of coming to the millennium, the news from Guangdong made the entire battery industry shake up.
An electric car equipped with a 100Ah lithium battery can travel 383 kilometers after only two hours of charging. This achievement broke the world record and made a man named Zhong Xinjia famous overnight.
Zhong Xinjia is a very legendary person, and there is not much to say about the things before his fortune. From the few words left by Zhong Xinjia, it is known that he was born in a family of Chinese medicine. Zhong Xinjia was considered smarter since he was a child. According to him, when he was 12 years old, he was studying Chinese medicine while studying radio.
Zhong Xinjia at that time had a passion for fiddling with all kinds of electrical appliances.According to family expectations, Zhong Xinjia may go to a medical university and become a teacher like his parents in the future. Or learn a major related to electrical appliances according to your own interests.
Surprisingly, Zhong Xinjia graduated from Guangdong Zhanjiang Art School. Obviously it is an art college, and Zhong Xinjia's major is called stage design. After graduating from school, Zhong Xinjia, a literary and artistic youth, entered the literary and artistic world and became a director.
don't know why, less than two years, Zhong Xinjia left the literary circle.
In 1981, Zhong Xinjia came to the Zhanjiang battery factory to apply for workers. But some people once said that he was an engineer and factory director directly. Even Zhong Xinjia claimed that made the first maintenance-free lead-acid battery in the battery factory. This time about one or two years later, Zhong Xinjia changed direction again.
1983 was the year when Zhong Xinjia started her business. At the beginning of the business, Zhong Xinjia was in the tape business. After working for two years, he ran to Hainan to go to the car.
According to later media disclosures, Zhong Xinjia had been in jail for smuggling cars when he was in Hainan, and was detained for two years before being released.
Zhong Xinjia was almost 30 years old when she came out of prison. This time, he changed his mind again and made an unexpected decision-to become a monk.
Neither ambitious preparations for a comeback, nor do they live in peace. Zhong Xinjia suddenly became interested in Buddhism when he was approaching the beginning of his life. He actually shaved and became a monk.
However, Zhong Xinjia obviously did not become a devout monk who recites the Buddha. One day in 1989, Zhong Xinjia, who was in the temple, accidentally saw a report about a crude oil energy crisis. This report may have been read by others, but Zhong Xinjia was taken seriously.
He couldn't help but want to do a big job, and immediately went back to the vulgar to start new energy. And Zhong Xinjia's venture this time is about to bring a huge change to the battery industry.
However, although the time for the ordination was not long, it has been accompanied by Zhong Xinjia's later life.
Because since then, Zhong Xinjia has often attributed many things to "God's instructions", including all the ups and downs in life. This obviously makes Zhong Xinjia appear more mysterious.
He once said this to the media: "I have never played the piano or violin, but I can play songs when I get the piano, because I have always integrated Buddhism into my life."
In media reports, Zhong Xinjia often appears in strange words and deeds. For example, he looks down on scholars. I don't read professional books, just rely on "God's guidance." After the popularization of computers, he still allows his employees to use an abacus. Zhong Xinjia also stocked some chickens in the factory because he likes to eat from his hometown. Zhanjiang chicken ......
Zhong Xinjia, who devotes himself to researching new energy after returning to the market, developed a vitamin-free lead-acid battery based on his experience in the battery factory. . Zhong Xinjia installed this battery in an old car and found that the car could run for a certain distance, which gave him hope.
A few years later, lithium batteries appeared in China. This revolutionary battery suddenly changed the size of mobile phones. It is this kind of battery that turns the heavy big brother into a small and thin mobile phone.
However, at that time, the capacity of most lithium single cells would not exceed 2Ah. If a high-power single lithium battery of more than 50Ah can be developed, then driving a car may become a reality. As a result, Zhong Xinjia, who saw the first opportunity of , set his sights on the development of the high-power lithium battery .
Time came to 1995, which was a critical period for the country to vigorously develop the lithium battery industry. With the help of the government, Zhong Xinjia, who has studied lithium batteries for many years,The "Rising Life Source Battery Laboratory" was established in the Sanzao Science and Technology Industrial Park in Zhuhai High-tech Zone.
It is from here that Zhong Xinjia has created myths. In the second year of establishing the laboratory, Zhong Xinjia claimed to the public that he had successfully developed the first life-source lithium-ion rechargeable battery with a single capacity of 90Ah. One year later, the world's first power-type lithium-ion rechargeable battery also came out here.
In 1998, the first automotive lithium-ion battery was born with a single capacity of 100Ah.
It is a pity that the battery spontaneously ignites during the installation and use of the car. This hit Zhong Xinjia's battery dream.
However, Zhong Xinjia is not a person who speaks of failure. Sure enough, he took the spontaneous combustion car and all his belongings to Shenzhen again.
After trial and error, Zhong Xinjia found the cause of the explosion and started to improve. With the support of the leaders of the Shenzhen Municipal Government, Zhong Xinjia gradually got out of the predicament.
One year later, Zhong Xinjia put her re-improved lithium-ion battery into the repaired car. This time, the car with the battery finally ran in Shenzhen.
This incident alarmed the entire battery industry. Zhong Xinjia became famous for this. In August 1999, Leitian Green Electric Source Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Leitian for short) was formally established. Zhong Xinjia served as the chairman of the board and started the process of industrialization of automotive batteries.
According to relevant reports, by 2000, Shenzhen Thunder Sky had developed a 800Ah single power battery and sold it globally. And these inventions were all made by Zhong Xinjia.
Because of the country's strong support for the battery industry, the inventions and "genius inventors" that shocked the industry have attracted the attention of the state ministries and commissions. then, In 2001, Zhong Xinjia was awarded the title of "National Treasure" battery inventor by a certain ministry of the country, and the life-source power lithium battery developed by him was also listed as a "National Treasure" product.
The relevant national ministries and commissions even issued a document to establish a national "863" plan lithium power battery research and development center based on "Shenzhen Thunder Sky". Zhong Xinjia was appointed as the director and chief scientist of the research and development center.
If Zhong Xinjia has developed a 100Ah lithium-ion battery with basic strength, then the attention and honor of the country has made Zhong Xinjia's battery business even more advanced.
So what breakthrough did Zhong Xinjia's battery bring?
At the 4th Beijing International Clean Vehicle Technology Seminar and Exhibition, an ordinary-looking minibus attracted some people's attention.
There is nothing special about this minibus from the appearance. It wasn't until the staff lifted the lid that everyone discovered that the car didn't have the common engine at all. Instead, there is a set of "lithium-ion power batteries" in parallel. It was Zhong Xinjia, chairman of Leitian Company, who replaced this electric minibus with an "electric heart".
lithium battery is the core technology of pure electric vehicles. At least at the time, pure lithium battery electric vehicles were the commanding heights of the future development of the automotive industry. With the energy problems caused by the gradual reduction of oil and other resources, and the need for environmental protection, electric vehicles have become a realistic solution to these two problems.
In the 1890s, Americans built the world's first pure electric car. At the beginning of the 20th century, it reached its peak of production and once occupied 40% of the market. In the 1930s, because of poor battery power, electric vehicles could not compete with fuel vehicles and had to withdraw from the market.
In the 1970s, the European and American regions renewed the upsurge of developing pure electric vehicles.At the beginning of the 21st century, it fell silent again because of the "bottleneck" of the core technology of power batteries.
How to use lithium-ion power batteries in automobiles has always been an important issue facing pure electric vehicles. The problems of high battery cost, short driving range, and long charging time are also bottlenecks that have been plagued by the electric vehicle industry.
Therefore, Zhong Xinjia is at the forefront of the world in this industry. Zhong Xinjia, who is in a critical period of rising, has lived up to expectations. In 2006, he announced the birth of the world's first rare earth lithium-ion power battery with a single-cell capacity of 3600Ah and 10000Ah, which was also from his own hands.
He confidently told reporters: "So far, the only company in the world that can produce rare earth yttrium iron lithium power batteries for automobiles is Leitian."
This year, power lithium-ion batteries became a nation. An important development direction for the development of new energy has also become a key industry supported by local governments.
As a result, Zhong Xinjia, who has made a fortune with the policy dividend, has once again become more popular under the policy dividend. He got many opportunities to cooperate with local governments and drew a blueprint for a project with a total output value of 50 billion in one fell swoop.
In the next few years, Zhong Xinjia's company successively developed 50AH, 100AH, 200AH, 500AH, 1000AH to 10000AH single potassium ion power battery. These batteries are sold to 23 countries and regions in Europe, North America and Asia, and are used in national defense and civilian fields. Has been highly recognized by the majority of users.
The national flags of dozens of countries were planted in the meeting room of Thunder Sky at that time. Zhong Xinjia told reporters: He puts in a flag when he receives an order from a country.
The battery is of great significance to the electric car. The achievements of Leitian in the battery have broken the multiple problems faced by the battery before. Therefore, dozens of countries and regions have granted invention patents to Leitian lithium power batteries. Morgan Corporation of the United States has evaluated Leitian’s technology, which is worth 10 billion U.S. dollars.
Zhong Xinjia himself became the leader of the Chinese tram industry at that time,It has 12 invention patents and is registered in dozens of countries.
With these accumulations, Zhong Xinjia began to operate more in his own business, and the listing plan was gradually implemented.
In 2009, Zhong Xinjia worked with Cao Zhong , former managing director of Shougang International, a listed company in Hong Kong, and launched a backdoor listing operation called "Thunder Plan".
These two people, one is responsible for producing technology and the other is responsible for capital operation. In October of the same year, the two established a joint venture Hong Kong Thunder Sky , and then backdoor Jiasheng Holdings went public. Zhong Xinjia and Cao Zhong naturally became controlling shareholders.
In order to raise the stock price, Zhong Xinjia and Cao Zhong specially brought in Li Ka-shing . In January 2010, under the operation of Cao Zhong and Zhong Xinjia, Jiasheng Holdings placed 400 million shares to Li Ka-shing at a price of 290 million Hong Kong dollars. Four months later, Hong Kong Leitian and Jiasheng reorganized and went public, renamed Zhongju Leitian, and Zhong Xinjia served as the chairman of the board of directors.
With the blessing of Li Ka-shing, the celebrity, Zhongju Leitian's stock has soared, once per share rose from 0.4 yuan to 2.7 yuan. Under the double light of fame and fortune, Zhong Xinjia ushered in the pinnacle of her life.
Speaking of her success, Zhong Xinjia said that she is a lonely hero. In order to study the battery, he spent 200 million yuan, not only the family wealth was gone, his wife also left him.
However, the past is the past after all. In the face of her tremendous achievements, Zhong Xinjia's inner excitement and sense of accomplishment are self-evident. This is the peak of his life. The employees of Zhongju Leitian once recalled that Zhong Xinjia at that time can be described as high-spirited.
Maybe it is full of confidence, maybe it is unable to suppress inner pride. Zhong Xinjia often shows off his achievements with the company's employees: has set many world records. UN Secretary-General Annan sent him a special congratulatory message.Even Bill Gates called him and asked him about his experience...
Zhong Xinjia has said more than once that he will definitely surpass Bill Gates to become the new richest man in the world.
Zhong Xinjia's story here is simply a perfect inspirational example. However, Zhong Xinjia's legendary life is not over yet.
In 2011, Zhong Xinjia announced that he would invest 300 million US dollars to open a diesel recreational vehicle manufacturing company in California, USA, to produce all-electric recreational vehicles and fast charging systems. Most of the shares in this manufacturing company belong to Zhong Xinjia. This move seems to be to expand the battery empire to the world.
On January 24 of the same year, Zhong Xinjia donated US$10 million to the University of California, Riverside in the name of funding the School of Engineering to develop clean energy. This donation became the largest personal donation ever made by the University of California, Riverside.
The donor is the “Battery King” in China. On the one hand, it is the largest donation from an American university. The news from any angle is enough to attract attention.
This was originally a good thing. But why does it cause dissatisfaction and even anger among the Chinese people? In fact, from the perspective of national sentiment, this matter does make people feel uncomfortable.
Zhong Xinjia is a native Chinese. He started his business in China, made a fortune, and ate the dividends of Chinese policies. He earned the first pot of gold in China...
Nowadays, he has become famous regardless of his country but donated to American universities, as a Chinese. I feel uncomfortable. But this is not the direct cause of Zhong Xinjia's anger.
After all, this donation is also for the development of new energy research, which can benefit the world in a certain way. Donations are voluntary acts of individuals, even if the people are not emotionally accepting, there will not be too much excessive behavior. What makes people angry actually stems from what Zhong Xinjia said in an interview after the donation.
In an interview after the donation, the reporter asked many people's questions: "Why don't you donate to Chinese universities?"
The answer is: how to use the money you earn how to use,Donate to whomever you want. Poverty in China has nothing to do with me.
This passage caused an uproar for a while. The sentence "China's poverty has nothing to do with me" has caused many Chinese people to be filled with righteous indignation and anger.
If Zhong Xinjia just didn’t say such a thing, I believe there will be many more sane and calm people speaking for him "We have no right to ask others to donate to whom."
However, when Zhong Xinjia said this, he would be abusive. The sound overwhelmed all sounds. Such ignorant, arrogant remarks hurt the feelings of the people of the country.
China has always had no shortage of people who patriotic and serve the country. Especially when modern countries are in danger. How many overseas Chinese never forget the development of the motherland even if they travel across the oceans. Looking at the history of the modern revolution, there are overseas Chinese at each stage of their contributions.
For example, the famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee , as a great Nanyang industrialist, has more than one million assets, but he not only made great contributions to the revolution and education of the motherland, but also went all the way to solicit donations. Mr. Tan Kah Kee even set himself a food standard of 5 cents in his later years.
There are also two heroes Guo Yonghuai academician, he and Qian Xuesen , Deng Jiaxian and other scientists have resolutely returned to the motherland after giving up the superior conditions of foreign countries. In 1949, Guo Yonghuai was already a professor at a university and owned a car and a house in the United States. Others asked him: "Your motherland is so poor, why do you want to go back?"
Mr. Guo Yonghuai replied: "The family is poor and the country is weak. It only shows the inability to be a son."
The loud and loud answer shocked many people. These great patriots and people from all walks of life are so brave to shoulder their responsibilities. Apart from their deep love for the motherland,It is also because they deeply know that the strength of the motherland cannot be separated from the struggle and dedication of the people, and a strong motherland is also a person's most powerful confidence.
How many years have passed, the scientists of the past, today's Meng Wanzhou , what has not changed is patriotism, and China has become strong. And behind this rejuvenation and strength is inseparable from the efforts of countless people.
Why people are disappointed and angry with Zhong Xinjia? Perhaps it is because most people know that the success of a country is inseparable from the country, so you can not return it, but you can't help but be grateful.
It's a pity that Zhong Xinjia doesn't seem to understand this truth. He is complacent about his success. He decides that it is his own success. It has nothing to do with others, and it has nothing to do with the country or society. Perhaps, he didn't understand but just didn't want to understand. We have no way to verify the truth of the matter, but another turning point for Zhong Xinjia will soon arrive.
In 2011, it was only a few months before the donation and only a year before Zhongju Leitian went public. The news that Zhong Xinjia and Cao Zhong turned against each other made headlines in financial news.
Cao Zhong broke the news that Zhong Xinjia’s technical inventions were all fake and did not supply the company in accordance with the contract. Zhong Xinjia broke the news that the “backdoor listing” at the time was a scam, and Cao Zhong cheated his trust and most of the stocks in the name of helping national leaders hold stocks on behalf of him.
In this way, the two people tore each other. The former friends and partners broke the news with each other. The contradiction is getting bigger and bigger, and things get worse.
In April 2017, Zhongju Leitian officially issued an announcement: Zhong Xinjia has been removed from the special general meeting of shareholders. The company name of was also changed to Zhongju Battery. Since then, Zhong Xinjia and Zhongju Leitian have severed all ties.
After that, Zhong Xinjia was not to be outdone. He sued a subsidiary of China Poly Battery for breach of contract with the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court.Claim 186 million yuan in compensation.
Zhongju Battery immediately countered General Yijun, pointing out that the three key documents Zhong Xinjia submitted to the court were forged and had already reported the case to relevant law enforcement agencies.
Media reports in March 2013 showed that Sinopoly Battery had received the court's ruling. The final result was that Zhong Xinjia's company applied for withdrawing the lawsuit and had to bear more than 500,000 yuan of costs incurred by the lawsuit and appraisal.
This lawsuit has finally come to an end, and Zhong Xinjia's fantasy "Battery Kingdom" has also come to nothing. A myth created by Zhong Xinjia himself seems to be gradually falling.
Someone broke out that Zhongju Leitian's employees said: Zhong Xinjia does not speak English, and Bill Gates may have fabricated the conversation with him.
As various questions about Zhong Xinjia are raised, the core is: What is the technical principle of the life-source lithium battery?
Zhong Xinjia didn't answer from start to finish. Before, experts in Beijing and Shenzhen were required to sign a confidentiality agreement when they came to inspect, and the request to go to the production workshop was also rejected in violation of trade secrets.
Because of Zhong Xinjia's various mysterious operations, no one knows how rare earth lithium batteries come from. For these questions, Zhong Xinjia has only one explanation: 's current domestic detection technology is too low-end.
The direct result of Zhong Xinjia's half-concealment of the proud Thunder Sky battery is that it has not passed the official performance test of China. This is the reason why the Thunder Sky Battery was unsuccessful in the 2008 Olympic Games.
Zhong Xinjia, who was expelled from Zhongju Leitian, returned to Shenzhen. Since then, he has less and less news, and there is no report about his new invention. Only from time to time will he mention his legendary experience and arrogant remarks.
The former "battery king" gradually disappeared from public view, and news of his bankruptcy came from time to time.
