From a worker who dropped out of school at the age of 15 to a position sitting between two technology billionaires, this is a rise that makes the entire business world wonder who really holds the throats of Apple and Tesla.
At a state banquet in Beijing on May 14, 2026, Ms. Zhou Quanfei attracted attention when sitting in the center between Tim Cook and Elon Musk. This moment is not just a matter of diplomacy, but also reflects Lens Technology's true power in the global technology supply chain.
