  "account": "End of July witnessed an explosive initial public offering on the stock market by the Chinese conglomerate from Hefei, in eastern China's Anhui province. The driving force behind this achievement was Zhu Yiming, the founder of CXMT, and the patents of a defunct German memory chip company. Zhu Yiming had initially no interest in IT; instead, he was fascinated by the laws of nature. After enrolling in physics at Beijing's Tsinghua University in 1989, Zhu's path intersected with the Zhongguancun district in Beijing's northern outskirts. This area, known for its youthful tech community, offered Zhu the opportunity to understand that integrated circuits were the foundation of technological solutions. Zhu's master's degree in physics was interrupted by a shift towards computer science, a choice that ultimately led to Zhu becoming the CEO of China's most valuable company, CXMT. The company manufactures DRAM chips, which are used in smartphones, tablets, and TVs. CXMT's debut on the stock market was a remarkable success, with the share price skyrocketing by 500 percent in its first trading day. The company is now valued at $570 billion, surpassing Tencent as China's most valuable firm.",
  "summary": "Ende Juli legte der Konzern aus dem ostchinesischen Hefei ein furioses Börsendebüt hin. Möglich wurde dies durch den begnadeten Tüftler Zhu Yiming – und durch Patente eines untergegangenen deutschen Chipherstellers.",
