Stella founder to turn home town into a new shoe city
15/11/2010
Stella International already has centres of production in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hebei, Shanghai and Liaoning provinces and its corporate headquarters in Hong Kong, providing a total of 80,000 jobs, but Mr Jiang wants to do more to help his home city.
In recent years he has donated more than $1.5 million to Shaoyang to help fund new schools, roads and bridges. Two footwear factories have already begun operations there and Mr Jiang has said he is keen to increase production and fund further infrastructure improvements in the town.
Official figures put Shaoyang’s population at seven million.
