Eoptolink Technology Inc.,Ltd. (300502.SZ) recently released its first-half 2026 performance forecast. The company's co-founder and chairman, Gao Guangrong, has now served as chairman for 18 years.

According to Tianyancha, Gao Guangrong was born in May 1969. He graduated from the Chengdu Radio Machinery School with a technical secondary school diploma in Industrial Electrical Automation. In 1989, Gao joined the optical communication branch of Leshan Radio Factory, where he worked as a technician in the workshop for a decade, accumulating significant technical experience.

In 1998, Gao rode the wave of entrepreneurship, founding Guangtong Electronics and serving as its executive director and general manager until 2001. After Guangtong Electronics ceased operations, he remained in the optical communication industry, first as a purchasing supervisor at Sichuan Jiuzhou Optical Electronics, and later as a supervisor at Guangshengtong and Guangsheng Communications.

In 2008, Gao founded Eoptolink Technology Co., Ltd., initially serving as both chairman and financial controller as the company got off the ground. After the company completed its shareholding reform in December 2011, he has served as chairman ever since, leading the company to its public listing.

According to Tianyancha data, Gao's annual salary in 2025 was 1.7847 million yuan, about 287,000 yuan lower than that of co-founder and fellow chairman Huang Xiaolei.

The transfer was completed by October 21, 2025. Gao committed not to reduce his holdings through secondary market transactions for 12 months following this transfer.

Public records show that in 2026, Gao Guangrong made his debut on the Hurun Global Rich List for the first time with a net worth of 29.5 billion yuan, ranking 1109th. He is also a well-known wealthy figure in Sichuan province.
