Reference excerpt

Liu Yonghao (Chinese: 刘永好; born 1952) is a businessman in agribusiness in China. He is the founder and chairman of New Hope, the biggest animal feed producer in China. He is also involved in banking. As of 2019, He was ranked the 19th richest in China by Forbes in China.

Early life Liu Yonghao started his career teaching at a technical school. He and his three brothers quit their jobs in the government in 1982 to invest in breeding quails and chickens to sell to farmers in Sichuan province. In 1992, Liu and his brothers entered the animal feed business and founded the Hope Group. By 2010, it was the largest animal feed group in China.

Career He helped established the China Minsheng Bank, and in 2011 he owned 7 per cent of that bank's shares. Liu Yonghao is also one of the major shareholders of Huaxia Medical, a management institution of Putian hospitals. On January 12, 1996, China Minsheng Bank (Shanghai Stock Exchange: 600016) was officially listed in Beijing, with Shuping as the chairman and Liu Yonghao as the vice chairman. In 1999, Liu Yonghao became the largest shareholder of Minsheng Bank. In 2011, Liu was vice-chairman of China Minsheng Bank and chairman of the New Hope Group. That year, the 2010 Forbes list of the 400 Chinese ranked him at Number 21, with his wealth estimated at $3 billion. In the same year, he told the Financial Times that he was focused on creating agricultural co-operatives to help peasant farmers industrialize their plots, and his company had set up 100 of them, and also set up underwriting companies to help peasant farmers get loans. In 2012, Fortune chose him as one of their 15 business people who had changed China. In 2013, his daughter Liu Chang succeeded him as chairman of New Hope Liuhe, one of China's largest agribusiness firms. He is a member of the Sino-Australia 100-Year Agricultural and Food Safety Partnership (ASA 100). In 2021, Forbes estimated his net worth to be $12.1 billion.

Personal life His older brother is Liu Yongxing. He has one daughter.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Liu Yonghao

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Liu Yonghao 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 Liu Yonghao 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 Liu Yonghao 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 Liu Yonghao

In research: Liu Yonghao 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 Liu Yonghao 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: Liu Yonghao is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1952 births, Billionaires from Sichuan, Businesspeople from Chengdu, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Liu Yonghao 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.
