About Eric Li
Eric Li, also known as Li Shufu, is chairman of Geely Automobile Holdings, one of China's largest automakers and one of the few not controlled by the state.
Li has been expanding globally since 2010, when he acquired Swedish car brand Volvo.

Li told Forbes Asia in 2014 he made his first cars from the sand as a boy. "We couldn't afford any toys. I couldn't imagine making a real car."
