Predestined Bond
Before 2010, Qiu Kaijian was still working as a sales director for an import and export trading company in Guangzhou. He spent most of time travelling either within China or abroad to visit the supplier’s factory, or to visit customers in Dubai or the United States. Only in a rare occasion, Qiu Kaijian happened to know the existence of emergency car jump starter product concepts. And since then, the idea of establishing his own business went through his mind again.
Become The Pioneer
It was at an electronics exhibition in China. Qiu Kaijian was lucky enough to randomly win from the organizer of the exhibition a prize, which was a jump starter for cars. That was largely a product prototype developed by two Peking University students, and they were looking for commercialization partners. It was the first electronic car jump starters to appear on the market, and Qiu vowed to exploit this opportunity. He recommended it to the boss, hoping to become the regional representative in Guangdong. However, the boss wasn’t quite interested and rejected the idea.
Push For Improvement
Qiu was so determined to devote himself to this project that, despite the boss’s advice for him to stay, and also giving up his half million yuan annual salary, he set up his own company and pushed for the improvement of the first product model. He succeed in increasing the product peak current to 400A, which were then able to jump start almost 100% of car models instead of around 90% in the beginning.
An Impressive Product Debut
Finally, at the site of the 112th Canton Fair, in the face of a crowd of foreign visitors, Qiu jumped started a large car engine. The new product was proved to be so impressive that, at the end of the day, Qiu sold around $80,000 worth of products on site, and his team spent two hours counting cash later at that night.
