Who would have thought that behind such a simple homepage was a legendary big shot!

I believe everyone knows Mr. Liang, and today we are going to introduce the leader of DeepSeek – Liang Wenfeng.

Impressively, he once said in an interview, “I don’t raise funds, I don’t go public, I don’t enter the US market, I want Americans to shut up

Liang Wenfeng, born in Zhanjiang, Guangdong in 1985, was admitted to Zhejiang University at the age of 17. He studied in the Department of Information and Electronic Engineering for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees, with a focus on machine vision research.

In 2008, after graduating, Liang Wenfeng gave up entering a large company and devoted himself to the field of quantitative investment alone. At that time, quantitative investment in China was still in its infancy and there were constant doubts. However, he firmly believed in the concept of Simmons, the father of quantitative investment, that “there must be a way to model prices”. After two years of hard research, he devoted himself to it. In 2010, the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 stock index futures were launched, and he led his team to seize the opportunity, with self operated funds exceeding 500 million yuan.
