Why Didn't POP MART Founder Wang Ning Choose a Hotter Sector When Starting Out? His Answer: Not Enough Money

Deep News01-23 17:51

Recently, during an interview with Xinhua News Agency's "Amplify" program, POP MART founder Wang Ning was asked why he didn't consider entering more popular, high-flying sectors when he started his business. He responded that the primary reason was likely insufficient capital, noting that he began his entrepreneurial journey with just a few hundred thousand yuan.

"Had someone offered me 10 million yuan upfront back then, I might have ventured into a different industry altogether," he remarked.
