Wen-long Shi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wen-long Shi[1] (Chinese: 許文龍, Shi Wen-long) is a Taiwanese businessman and the founder of Chi Mei Corporation, the largest maker of ABS resin in the world. Shi has been ranked among Forbes' World's Richest People.[2] He was a chairman of Chi Mei until 2004, when he resigned as chairman, though he still holds significant stakes in the company and sits on its board. He is a senior advisor to President Chen Shui-bian and is known to support pro-Taiwanese independence causes, a stance which has made him unpopular with Mainland China.[3] He is also a performing concert violinist.[4]
