Dreamlike Ascent for Wind Power's Newest Star

(Beijing) - Sinovel was just a sketchy dream for Han Junliang five years ago. But the 41-year-old businessman liked the idea, and so did the other investors he nudged until they agreed to put up a combined 70 million yuan to make the dream come true.

Soon, Sinovel was born as a wind power company with registered capital of 100 million yuan and ties to state-owned Dalian Heavy Mechanical & Electrical Equipment Engineering Co. Ltd.
