Company Info
Jolene inherited her father's gene for entrepreneurship and hard work. She has been involved with the family business since she was 10 years old. She would accompany her dad to the factory during summer and school holidays. Even at that early age, she was quite perceptive and absorbed a lot of practical knowledge, and her dad's values, that she continues to use in her work today. Fiercely independent, by the age of 12, she could operate the factory machinery. Jolene would also frequently accompany her father to the wholesale markets for business negotiations. Overall, she learned the key lessons that honor and reputation in the market is one's most important asset, and business requires diligence and hard work, and these are the values that she brings proudly to all aspects of her business. In 2008 Jolene started her own business, have her own company name is Shengzhou Bow Import & Export Co., Ltd., making and exporting yarn, dyed yarn fabric, and neckties. Of course, as a second generation entrepreneur in a family business, Jolene has begun to leave a mark of her own in the way she conducts her business ethically, and honorably, in pursuit of her own vision.-
