-- As the president of OPay and the founder of Kunlun Wanwei, Zhou Yahui has been deeply involved in China's Internet industry for more than 15 years. His entrepreneurial process began when he was studying in the Department of Precision Instruments of Tsinghua University. At that time, he keenly caught the opportunity of the Internet industry, resolutely chose to suspend school and start his own business, and founded the original animation platform "Vulcan". Although his first entrepreneurship did not meet expectations, this experience has accumulated valuable experience for his subsequent entrepreneurial journey.
In 2008,Yahui Zhou founded Beijing Kunlun Wanwei Technology Co., Ltd., which took the web game "Three Kingdoms" as a starting point and pioneered the "global development" strategy. Under his leadership, the company's business rapidly expanded to overseas markets such as Japan and South Korea, with overseas revenue accounting for over 70% at one point, earning the industry the nickname "overseas version of Little Tencent". In January 2015, Kunlun Wanwei successfully went public on the ChiNext board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, marking a new stage in the company's development.
In addition to running a business, Yahui Zhou also demonstrates excellent investment vision. After 2015, he has successively invested in many Internet projects such as Yingke, Qudian, Dada, and many of them have grown into industry unicorns. His investment philosophy emphasizes "grasping trends and precise layout", which has been widely recognized in the industry.
In recent years, Yahui Zhou has devoted more energy to the development of OPay. As the President of the fintech platform OPay, he is committed to improving financial service coverage in Africa through mobile payment services. In the face of market competition and business expansion challenges, he demonstrated a robust business strategy, driving OPay to focus on its core payment business and making significant progress in markets such as Nigeria.
Now, under the leadership of Yahui Zhou, OPay continues to promote inclusive finance, providing services to millions of people in Nigeria, Egypt, and Pakistan. Its history reflects Zhou Yahui's strategic agility and focus on scalable solutions, demonstrating how challenges can be transformed into opportunities and how technology can bridge the economic gap in underserved areas.
Yahui Zhou is known for his diligence and pragmatism, maintaining a work rhythm from 7am to midnight every day. He once said, "Entrepreneurship is a responsibility, and financing is a commitment to investors." This concept of treating financing as "credit debt" reflects his sense of responsibility and business ethics.
From Tsinghua students to president of OPay, Zhou Yahui's entrepreneurial process shows the global vision and perseverance of Chinese Internet entrepreneurs. Today, with the rapid change of the Internet industry, he still keeps the original intention of entrepreneurs and continues to explore new possibilities in the field of financial technology.
