Qi Tongwei's investments started during the 1998 financial crisis, and later he expanded his overseas investments through Huajin Company, managed by the Li Tianshu family.

Relying on the foundation of basic sciences to drive technological development, everyone had been cashing in on the dividends brought by new technologies over the past few years. Countless opportunities emerged before Qi Tongwei, and to him, these were gifts from nature—refusing them would be foolish.

Once Western capital took notice of him, or if economic conditions worsened, there was a high probability that his funds would be unceremoniously confiscated by untrustworthy parties.
