Duan Yongping later mentioned that the only real reason he left Little Genius was that the boss was not trustworthy.
When he took over Little Genius, the company was losing 2 million,
which he managed to turn into an annual sales of 1 billion.
Initially agreed upon was a 70/30 shareholding reform,
but the boss Chen Jianren gradually pushed it to 90/10,
and finally simply refused to acknowledge it.
The problem is that
when Duan Yongping was hiring,
he had already told the brothers about the conditions the boss promised in full.
He could tolerate it,
but he couldn't betray the trust of those below him.
So he chose to resign.
Ironically,
once the boss left, all the brothers followed.
The "Four Heavenly Kings" of the development department of Little Genius,
plus the heads of production, sales, supply, and warehousing,
all 8 core department heads left with Duan Yongping.
Later,
Duan Yongping went to Dongguan
and founded BBK.
Meanwhile, Chen Jianren of Little Genius
went bankrupt in 2020
and was restricted from high consumption.
