Background / History
Xingtu Technology began as a township enterprise whose Pen Master Handwriting Robot generated roughly 700,000 Xia Yuan in net profit in one month. Its early commercial success drew the attention of established electronics firms, including Xianke Electronics, and prompted competing handwriting-robot products 5 6.
The company’s Handwriting Robot patent passed preliminary examination amid disputes with Zhisu Technology, which claimed to be the product’s original inventor and captured a substantial portion of Xingtu’s sales with cheaper imitation products 6 7. As its workforce expanded, Xingtu hired customer-service staff under rules emphasizing ability and established procedures 7.
The Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle became Xingtu’s first major military-industry product. Qu Qiongying joined the company after witnessing its live-fire test, invested 330,000 yuan, and received 1% equity transferred from He Xueqing’s shares in exchange for a five-year commitment 29 30. Xingtu later chose the Weapons Industry over Thor Tech as the authorized producer of the second-generation rifle, receiving a 20% wholesale-net-price royalty and assistance obtaining the Four Military Industry Certificates 53.
By the time of its seven-axis machining-center conference, Xingtu had gained enough influence to bring together leaders from Huawei, Tencent, Daxia Electric Investment, BiyaDi, Jinfeng Technology, and other major firms 214. It subsequently expanded into semiconductors, computing infrastructure, communications, brain-computer interfaces, industrial automation, energy, and space technology 241 252 303 330.
