History
At the end of the 1970s, Liu Yongxing and his brothers ventured into the electronics industry. They founded a company, but it was eventually shut down due to the political climate, which viewed such companies as too capitalist.[5] Undeterred, the brothers turned their attention to agriculture in 1982 and joined forces to found the Hope Group. The company initially focused on quail and chicken breeding in Sichuan province and established the Hope Research Center for Animal Feed in 1986.
