Background / History

Zhou Feiyu graduated from a key university but remained in his hometown county to care for his parents, working in low-end materials research and development for a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. 2 He later gained access to the Galaxy Technology Library and spent a month developing ten square meters of Basic Optical Film samples. 2

Determined to commercialize the material, he traveled to Peng City to seek help from his old classmate Wang Wei, a project manager at Hua Long Technology. 1 3 His confidence that the film could outperform foreign King Optical Film initially drew disbelief and ridicule, but testing eventually established FY-01's value. 1 4 10

After obtaining startup financing, Zhou acquired Risheng Materials for one million yuan, assumed only half its debt, and reorganized it as Feiyang New Material Technology Co., Ltd. 24 29 The company’s first Hua Long order completed his initial Knowledge Panel mission and marked the beginning of full-scale production. 33

Appearance

Zhou Feiyu was initially 1.78 meters tall, with an ordinary face and temperament that could easily blend into a crowd. 2 68 After consuming High-Energy Rice and following a planned exercise routine, his physique changed significantly. 388 393

• Reached a height of 1.81 meters after his physical transformation. 388 389
• Developed long limbs, a straight posture, a healthier build, and sharper facial features. 388
• His eyes are repeatedly noted as unusually bright and intelligent-looking. 393
• His transformed appearance was striking enough that his parents and longtime acquaintances initially struggled to recognize him. 388 393

Personality

Zhou is intensely driven by practical technological development. He dismisses businesses that merely redistribute products and instead wants to build “real industry” through manufacturing and research. 8 Even after becoming wealthy, he continues studying and conducting research whenever possible. 75 108

He is confident in his work but generally strategic rather than impulsive. He rejects unfavorable investment terms, preserves control of core patents, and keeps sensitive collaborations confidential. 30 41 135 His growing experience also gives him a more measured approach to company policy, particularly toward nepotism and security risks. 222 242

Zhou values quality, fairness, and discipline in management. He requires all employees, regardless of rank, to use the same company cafeteria and receive the same meals. 38 He also rewards meaningful contributions, such as Wang Lei’s role in acquiring Risheng Materials. 29

In personal relationships, Zhou is traditional and patient. He believes romantic boundaries are a form of respect, though he is direct when expressing affection for Li Shihan. 15 38 His decision to accompany Li Shihan to the hospital rather than personally sign a major provincial contract demonstrates that he prioritizes family over business when necessary. 218

Abilities & Skills
