In the early 1900s, Chinese citizen Eric Yuan recognized the importance of the growing internet boom. He applied for citizenship in the US, so that he could be a part of it. However, things did not go as planned. He had to apply for citizenship 8 times and was denied every time. Finally, on his 9th attempt, Yuan’s application was accepted, unfortunately the process took another 2 years before it went through. Once Yuan gained citizenship, he settled down in Silicon Valley where he worked several different tech jobs for over 10 years. In 2012, Yuan founded a company called Zoom. Zoom was a digital product that allowed people and companies to interface with each other virtually. It became a quick success. Zoom really became a hot product this year in the midst of the global pandemic. Since the beginning of 2020 until now, the share price of zoom has increased by 400%. In 2012 when Yuan founded Zoom, little did he know what a huge impact his product would make on the business world.
