Wu Shaoxun

Wu Shaoxun chairs Jing Brand, a supplier of Chinese liquor.

Wu worked for a textile company after leaving the army in 1980.

Seven years later, he took a job at a distillery factory in Daye in China's Hubei Province; the business was the predecessor to Jing.

Wu bought that business in 1998; Jing's sales in 2017 exceeded $1.6 billion.
