In 2002, YT set up XBELL Communications Technology Co., and later developed China's earliest mobile streaming solution, blazing a new trail in the industry.

In 2004, YT founded LeTV (Leshi Internet Information & Technology Inc.), which became among one of the first video streaming websites in the world to go public and was worth more than 25 billion USD at its peak, ranking among the Top 5 public internet companies in China.

Through purchasing the IP of internet video content and selling membership subscriptions, LeTV pushed for the transformation to patented video streaming in China and started the craze for paid online content among users. The movie production arm, LeVision Pictures, was also the first internet media company integrating both content production and content operation.

In 2008, he created the internet smart TV set up box as the access point of "internet content + smart hardware", which became the best-selling TV set up box in China.

In 2013, the internet smart TV was launched. With the "smart hardware + paid content" concept, more than 10 million units of the internet ecosystem TVs were sold globally over a short three-year span, making it the No.1 internet smart TV brand at the time.

In 2015, the ecosystem smartphone was launched and sold to more than 30 million units over two years, ranking among the Top 5 smartphone brands in terms of shipment at its peak.

YT proposed the pioneering internet ecosystem business model centered around "platform + content + device + application". By the end of 2016, the internet ecosystem business model was successfully implemented, having led the wave of paid online memberships and ultimately changed people's internet way of life.

In 2019, as the Founder and CPUO of FF, YT is pushing for the implementation of the next generation shared intelligent mobility ecosystem strategy, and is committed to providing the new ecosystem model of "hardware + software + AI + internet and cloud + sharing" to mobility, and leading FF to continue its role in the transformation of the global mobility industry.
