According to public information, Zhou Liwu’s most well-known deed is that In March of this year, he transferred a 1 billion yuan loss of Xingyuan Environmental Holdings to Liu Yonghao, the head of the new hope.

Xingyuan Environment is a company located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Its business covers environmental protection equipment manufacturing, dredging of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, municipal sewage and industrial wastewater treatment, rural sewage treatment, industrial energy saving, water quality monitoring, etc.

Zhou Liwu is not the founder of Xingyuan Environment.

After Zhou Liwu had both capital and reputation, Xingyuan Environment also entered a “difficult period.” The Times reported that in 2018, affected by the strong supervision of PPP projects, many environmental protection listed companies, including Xingyuan Environment, fell into a financial dilemma. In July 2018, Xingyuan Environment had 9 consecutive daily limits, plus 2 daily limits before the suspension, a total of 11 daily limits, and the company’s total market value evaporated nearly 17 billion yuan.

Affected by this, Zhou Liwu resigned as chairman of Xingyuan Environment in September 2018. Later, Xingyuan Environment planned equity transfers and related news about New Hope.

After being no longer the Xingyuan Environmental Controller, Zhou Liwu or invested in Sharklet with all his strength.

Luo Yonghao started on November 15th-20th, and tweeted for 14 days. The products he hopes to contact are brands such as yoga mats, tableware, children’s toys, contact lenses, sex toys, and bathrooms. The common feature of these brands’ products is that they come into direct contact with human skin. The products with antibacterial materials may be the new project that Luo Yonghao and Sharklet of Zhou Liwu cooperate together.

In the 6 hours before the launch, some netizens said that a brand named “Horizon 8” had announced its antibacterial luggage produced using Sharklet technology. Horizon 8 is an American design company that Luo Yonghao claimed to have acquired previously, and released related suitcase products at the “Fall 2018 New Product Launch of Friends of Hammer Technology and Ta”.

The new project of Luo Yonghao will be announced tonight at the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium. There will be more relevant exclusive reports released on the investment network.
