Business As a Vocation: The Autobiography of Wu Ho-su

By Huang Chin-Shing and Chin-shing Huang

Wu Ho-Su (1919-1986) pioneered business ventures ranging from cloth and synthetic fibre industries to department stores and life insurance. This son of a crippled former coolie began as a labourer for a Japanese cloth-importing company in the 1930s, but eventually became a manager and then an independent entrepreneur. Overcoming business obstacles in Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist-ruled Taiwan after 1945, Mr. Wu painstakingly built Shinkong into Taiwan's sixth-largest business enterprise by the 1980s.
