About Zhou Yaoting & family

Zhou Yaoting controls China's Hodo Group, which has interests in apparel, real estate and finance.

Apparel maker Hongdou had its humble beginnings in 1957 when Zhou Yaoting's father founded the cotton processing operation with three employees.

Months after, local officials forced him to merge with two other businesses into what was in effect a government-controlled collective.

The family over time bought back government shares, paving the way for new growth that has made the business one China's largest apparel makers.
