Fang Wei is a Chinese entrepreneur, the self-made billionaire Chairman of Fangda International Industrial Investment Group, a leading industrial conglomerate specializing in carbon products, steel, iron, and petrochemicals. Born in 1973, his wealth is rooted in the high-capital, essential commodity and industrial sectors of China.

His career began in 1991, focusing on industrial trade, which provided the foundational capital for his later strategic acquisitions. Fang Wei recognized the immense, structural demand for essential industrial materials—particularly carbon products and steel (used in metallurgy and heavy industry)—and committed to building a vertically integrated empire that controlled the entire supply chain, from raw materials to processed commodities.

Fang Wei founded Fangda International Industrial Investment Group in 1991. His strategic vision centered on aggressive acquisition and consolidation of steel and industrial assets. The Group owns over 20 diversified companies, including major steelmakers (Fangda Steel, which is the 17th largest steelmaker in the world by volume) and carbon product manufacturers (Fangda Carbon New Material).

Under his leadership, Fangda Group achieved massive vertical integration, acquiring mines and trading companies to secure raw materials (e.g., acquiring seven ore mines in two months). His career is marked by audacious deal-making (attempting a multi-billion dollar takeover of Anyang Iron & Steel) and high-stakes corporate management. His wealth is secured by the massive scale and vertical integration of his industrial empire, employing over 30,000 employees across 10 provinces in China.

Fang Wei's social impact is structural, stemming from Fangda Group's role as a massive industrial employer (over 30,000 employees) and foundational supplier of essential industrial commodities (steel and carbon) for China's massive construction and manufacturing sectors. The company contributes significantly to regional economic development in the 10 provinces where it operates.

His personal philanthropy supports various community and educational initiatives. His career is a testament to the profitability of identifying and dominating a high-capital, essential industrial sector through aggressive consolidation and vertical control.

Fang Wei maintains the professional, pragmatic style of a Chinese industrial executive. His attire is consistently formal and high-quality, favoring tailored business suits. His aesthetic is one of serious authority and stability, befitting a multi-billion dollar executive commanding a massive steel and industrial empire.

Residing in Beijing, China, his luxury is the immense security and financial reward derived from his multi-billion dollar fortune. His life is dedicated to industrial scale, vertical integration, and the continuous consolidation of essential commodity production.
