 | Qingdao Haier: Chinese workers assemble Haier television sets at its headquarters in China's eastern port city of Qingdao, August 16, 2003. Movie subject, business guru, Communist faithful: Haier Group's CEO Zhang Ruimin is one of China's most celebrated entrepreneurs and also one of its most elusive. The seldom-interviewed head of the world's fifth-largest maker of white goods, ranked 19th on Fortune's list of the most influential executives outside the United States, is now bent on tackling greater things - the hard-to-crack U.S. market. He piloted Haier from the verge of bankruptcy to become a world-renowned brand. |
