Background
In 2006, Zeng Wanhui left his job at a government entity in Beijing to return to Changsha with his wife Yu Lili. Zeng joined his old National University of Defense Technology classmates Hu Yahua and Rao Xianhong to set up Jingjia.[2]
In the early stages of development, it was agreed that Zeng would handle market development while Hu would handle software development and Rao would handle hardware development. Zeng would not receive a salary while the other two would receive a salary of 3,000 yuan per month.[2]
Not long after the company was founded it received a commission from a research institute to develop GPU related software. The team realized that GPUs had large potential so the company focused on investing in developing them.[2]
