Reference excerpt

Jack Wong, or Huang Zhang (Chinese: 黄章; pinyin: Huáng Zhāng), is a Chinese billionaire entrepreneur. He is the founder and chairman of Meizu, a Chinese consumer electronics company.

Early life Jack Wong was born on February 13, 1976, in Meixian, Meizhou, Guangdong. At the age of 16, Wong was expelled from high school and therefore did not attend college. At a young age he was enthusiastic about electronic devices. Before getting involved in the consumer electronics industry, Wong worked as pier porter. Later, he moved to Shenzhen to get into the electronics industry. In 2002, he became general manager of a Singaporean joint venture company called "Aegean". He shaped the strategy of the company and shifted its focus on production of speakers and MP3 players. The company was able to offer innovative products at that time, such as MP3 players with a battery life of 20 hours and 128 MB of internal storage. After divergences with the shareholders due to different opinions on brand management and marketing, Wong decided to leave the company.

History with Meizu At the end of 2002, Wong invested 100,000 RMB to start a new company called Meizu. The first Meizu MP3 player was released in the second quarter of 2003. In June 2003, the Meizu internet forum was launched to serve as a platform for interaction with customers. Wong himself was very active on the forum and endorses all employees to emphasize customer feedback for further development of products. Between 2003 and 2009, Wong himself had almost 6000 posts on the Meizu forum. In 2010, Wong decided to retreat from the management of Meizu, however on February 10, 2014, Meizu announced that Jack Wong would be appointed as the CEO of the company, but eventually this did not happen.

Personal life Little is known about Wong's personal life, as he prefers to keep his privacy. Aber Bai, the co-founder and current CEO of Meizu, stated that Jack Wong never gave an interview. According to Forbes, Wong was the 186th richest person in China with a net worth of US$2.6 billion as of 2017. It is also known that Jack Wong is currently married. He has 4 children, whose names are Tommy, Suzy, Mayson, and Alam. All of them go to Zhuhai International School.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jack Wong

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jack Wong claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jack Wong before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jack Wong ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jack Wong

In research: Jack Wong appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jack Wong in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jack Wong is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1976 births, 21st-century Chinese businesspeople, Billionaires from Guangdong, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jack Wong outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
