"If soldiers Shi Zhengrong is positive, then we are the Jones." QU Xiao Hua solar photovoltaic cell company road, avoiding the large-scale investment - industrial chain - components of the production on this road, but rather positioning applications



In November of this year, from QU Xiao Hua solar photovoltaic cells single-handedly founded the company CSI Artes satisfied city in the United States debut. After graduating from the Department of Physics, Tsinghua University, Chinese, worth is also due to gradually clear the open market value of their assets and leapfrog the 350 million yuan, becoming the Shi Zhengrong after another solar upstart.



When a reporter told him, "You have passed 300 million in assets", it will be over 43-year-old birthday QU Xiao Hua are not very happy, but said: "After listing, I really did not calculate how much money had been their own. But that , do a company is not easy, because I need to take responsibility for much larger than before. My employees, shareholders expect of us. assuming 3 to 5 years later, people still talk about my company, and feel that it is very Yes, then I think I come to talk about this topic is more appropriate. "



Used to be a technical expert



Although has joined the Canadian, but QU Xiao Hua remembered all these years its greatest impact, or "Qinghua" word. Native of Changshu, he taught at his father early to Tsinghua University, from birth to college graduation, he spent at the Tsinghua Garden. Graduated in July 1986 and received Bachelor of Physics, Tsinghua University, studying abroad in Canada, were obtained from the University of Manitoba in Canada, the University of Toronto master's degree and a doctorate.



1995 For him, there is no doubt a turning point. At that time, Canada's Ontario power semiconductor company does not have talent, and he is just learning this profession, and soon was recruited into and participated in the preparation at the time of a semiconductor development project - Spheral SolarTM Technology, also became part of the seven-member panel a leader. In this the power company, he and members of the establishment of a pilot production line, diagnostic laboratory and all testing and experimental tools, the experience for his future laid the foundation for further development. In 1997, because the acquisition of relations, he was sent to France, Photowatt new company, ATS company.



Photowatt in 1998, the year the world's photovoltaic manufacturing enterprises in the fourth. QU Xiao Hua, Dr. ATS and Photowatt PV companies belong to assume a variety of functions, including procurement of photovoltaic materials, head of Asia-Pacific region vice president of technology and photovoltaic strategic plans and such posts as director of business development.



The germination of his career change in the entrepreneurial impulse. After purchasing, production lines, quality management, market penetration of various links, so that 34-year-old QU Xiao Hua mixed feelings.



"In 2000, the Internet and fiber optic technology, access to all of a sudden gush a lot of business model. At that time, many of my classmates in Silicon Valley. To communicate with them, I found that I can think about new directions for the future."



QU Xiao Hua said at the time the biggest problem is that there have been a career ceiling. "A lot of time spent on document processing, transaction handling, but do not have time to find an industrial growth point. Yaogen boss I have to talk about my ideas."



During that time, QU Xiao Hua want to clear two things: solar energy relative to the semiconductor case is the little brother; but two or three decades later, must have an access to millions of households products.



"As a boy, in the courtyard there is a child at home and bought a 12-inch black and white peony television, a group of us kids were all holding a small bench, 坐在院子里 to see his home TV. And now, every household will have several sets television. "he said later, solar TV will be showing a similar situation.



"I told my boss: I have reached a stage to start, I either do it on his own line, otherwise I would have chosen to leave this industry, the new road will break." Boss is very readily accepted him, " I support you, then you do it according to your ideas. "



Entrepreneur Evolution Road



"If soldiers Shi Zhengrong is positive, then we are the Jones."



QU Xiao Hua solar photovoltaic companies road, avoiding the large-scale investment - industrial chain - components of the production on this road, but rather positioning applications. But he also realized that if the original and the Shi Zhengrong line up with the technical route, you may size of the company even more.



In 2001, if not, and Volkswagen have had an order, QU Xiao Hua probably do not believe that today there will be a listing of individual businesses in New York.



"I use a day Banqi all the business license and bank accounts, immediately commenced." That's winter for many years living abroad QU Xiao Hua, attend to my hometown in Changshu sightseeing tour, but room and board in the same region The company's new factory,.



7 am, is not yet full light, he ran into the new warehouse, excitedly from the new arrival of raw materials inventory. Then, they pulled up the sleeves, along with the workers to move in new equipment, and pay close attention to installation and commissioning time. By noon, he squatted on the floor while eating lunch, while chat with their colleagues. The night, he went with his Canadian colleagues, and fighting in the frontline workers, with visits to factories in the vicinity of the public bathroom a hot bath. At home, finally have time to rest. But have not yet turned suddenly find technical information on hand finished, so he burning the midnight oil the night, and worked.



Start early months, QU Xiao Hua has been repeating this kind of life.



Volkswagen to him, is such a technology product orders. Every day, in the public warehouse where the car had to be out of the library car, but the new car to the sale terminals, in general there will be 2 months or so. These 2 months, the car battery will be gradually consumed, at the same time required to consume a large amount of manpower and cost for the new car re-charging, the public want to have a solar charger. But preferably by QU Xiao Hua individual to be responsible for the project's research, design, development, and mass production.



In November 2001, holding the public order, he needs to find a place as soon as mass production and shipping in a few months. This site has the advantage of low cost, fast set up factories. "Automotive products are very difficult to achieve volume production a few months are generally required two or three years. As a result, pose an enormous challenge for us. So, only the most qualified, and I are most familiar with."



He locked the production base, including Shanghai and Shenzhen, neighboring peripheral.



"Later we discovered that Shanghai is more appropriate to establish a base. Where the public car near the base, on the one hand help us to do business, while the efficiency is also here to meet our requirements."



That year, QU Xiao Hua built in Changshu, Jiangsu Province opened its first company - Artes PV Electronic (Changshu) Co., Ltd.. A group of world-class R & D and management team have built up.



After 4 months of hard work, and finally in 2002, early in March to create the first piece of qualified products, the public is very satisfied with the quality of the samples, QU Xiao Hua allowed to mass production.



In the technical route, CSI there is a striking feature, namely the top of the silicon raw material, one-third through the recycling of surplus materials to semiconductor materials. "In the global development of new silicon materials are available in two years, an increase of 3 to 4 times, so the accumulation of recyclable silicon materials for our industrial chain of great help."



In 2003, the company's research and development has been remarkable progress in 2005, another new plant in Luoyang. While the component is small, only 60 MW, but due to technical route is different from several local companies where he was from 2002 to 2006, no one-year loss, annual profit of 100% over the first half of this year profit is 300%.



"I was never thought he would become a listed company, but such a dream, five-year sales to reach 50 million U.S. dollars, 5 was born 10 multi-millionaires. Now, those dreams are realized." Said Zhe Fan words, QU Xiao Hua smiled.



He said the company was created a few veterans, is still the same trenches. "They have initial offerings, with my original Dajiang Shan, are got. Made me feel particularly pleased that I now CFO, he also from the original Canadian companies, joined to my company came."



Character sketch



QU Xiao Hua said frankly that he himself has gone through a lot of things, and there have been a low ebb. "But you need time to be able to realistically and seriously do something."



The family moved to Suzhou, QU Xiao Hua, just bought a set of more than 200 million homes. "Is not particularly good picture in particular, the price especially, especially expensive, is a place to live."



He said he does not love brand names, his wife nor the consumer demand. "We are born in this era of the last century, 60 people, perhaps even more like the bland." QU Xiao Hua of the most preferred, than tourism and skiing. At home, a snow skate, and Tibet, Yunnan, Sichuan, Hainan, have not been to these places. "And empty it, I would with my family go to these beautiful places to relax properly." QU Xiao Hua spoke softly to one another their dreams.
