Lee Der Industrial
Zhang Shuhong worked at the Lee Der Industrial company for over ten years before taking over as head of the company's day to day operations. The Lee Der company, which is based in Foshan, China, and is also known as Lida, was a major supplier of toys and other products for Western companies, including Mattel and its subsidiary, Fisher-Price. Zhang was described by employees and co-workers as an entrepreneur. Lee Der Industrial was losing money and suffering financial loses at the time that Zhang took over operations. Zhang was credited with stopping the money loss. He invested much of Lee Der's earnings back into the company, investing in new buildings, capital and equipment. According to Lee Der employees, Zhang was planning to move one of his three factories to a new $5 million USD plant that had recently been completed. Zhang was reportedly devoted to the Lee Der Industrial company. He resided on the factory grounds in a 25-square-meter room for the 10 years before his death to be close to his work. Zhang also owned two subsidiaries, which were named Hengjing and Shuaimeng.

Famous quotes containing the words lee, der and/or industrial:
“Rap is poetry to music—like beatniks without beards and bongos.”
—David Lee Roth (1955)
“Under the lindens on the heather,
There was our double resting-place.”
—Walther Von Der Vogelweide (1170?–1230?)
“A few ideas seem to be agreed upon. Help none but those who help themselves. Educate only at schools which provide in some form for industrial education. These two points should be insisted upon. Let the normal instruction be that men must earn their own living, and that by the labor of their hands as far as may be. This is the gospel of salvation for the colored man. Let the labor not be servile, but in manly occupations like that of the carpenter, the farmer, and the blacksmith.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
