Yu Pun Hoi (Chinese: 于品海, born 1958 in Hong Kong) and commonly known as P.H. Yu, is an entrepreneur in the information technology, cinema, culture and media industries in China. He is the Chairman of the Board and largest shareholder of Nan Hai Corporation Limited (0680.HK) and Sino-i Technology Limited (0250.HK). Yu is also the founder and chairman of the Tsinghua University Center for US-China Relations (CUSCR), and the Peking University Chinese Culture Research Center.
Yu spent his teenage years in Japan and worked to pay for his education. In 1976, he planned to attend UC-San Diego to pursue studies in journalism and media but did not earn enough money for tuition. He eventually made his way to Canada and studied political economics at the University of Saskatchewan. In 2008, he began to pursue a Ph.D. in Marxism at Peking University.
Yu integrates knowledge-based industry models with information technology throughout his business enterprises. He describes IT as the means to achieve varying levels of intelligence, while film and information are the core essence of knowledge. He supports open standards, interoperability of open source and domestic brands to create heterogeneous technology infrastructures.
Under Yu's leadership, Sino-i Technology holds a leading position in China's IT industry, with 120 branch offices throughout China, more than 8,000 employees, including 2000 dedicated to R&D. It is the leading IT applications service provider (ASP) for domestic enterprises in China, with focus on optimization of technology infrastructures for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to facilitate e-commerce strategies, utilize enterprise software, and advance information access.
In 1999, Yu established CE Dongli Technology Co., Ltd., an application service provider of technology solutions for more than 250,000 small and medium enterprises in China. Yu acquired Xinnet in 2003 and Red Flag Chinese 2000 in 2006. CE Dongli ranks at the top amongst IBM and HP in China's IT services market, and received the top honor as a domestic firm in the outsourcing service market for consecutive years. CE and Xinnet also dominate the market sector for website, web-hosting, and mailbox services in China, where Xinnet is one of the top ten providers in domain name reserve and virtual hosting volume. As of 2009, Xinnet was the largest registrar of spam domains worldwide.
On facing the fierce competition in the IT industry, Yu used the concept of man to impart new ways of thinking to his employees at a conference in Beijing. He summed up the different scopes of life in the philosophy of "shi" using five distinct Chinese words 史(shǐ)、势(shì)、市(shì)、事(shì)、士(shì)" . He guided them to appreciate the powerful force of history and knowledge packed in each word, in order to grasp the potential of the overall strategic landscape. He assured them that only when they tackle the issues openly and with ease, cast aside concerns, fears and all distraction, can the true essence of matter and meaning of life come to light.
