Context
Shanghai Binling Network Technology specialises in game development, online education and artificial intelligence. The company was founded by Minxuan Zhang, who previously founded two companies in Hong Kong, Xing Yi and Shen Yan. About ten years ago, Zhang created his first game, “Lian Ying”, a romance adventure game that sparked his interest in game development. This first project, combined with his participation in competitions such as the 66RPG Independent Game Development Contest, inspired him to explore the integration of AI into games. With a Ph.D., Zhang has used his extensive educational and professional background to push his company into new areas of technological innovation.

Analysis
“I founded Shanghai Binling Network Technology after realising the challenges of relying solely on Hong Kong-based companies to operate in mainland China,” said Minxuan Zhang to BTW media. He has been engaged in the practice of blogging about technology for a period of five years, and he began his first business venture over a decade ago. “By 2017 I was in a pretty unique position. I was between jobs at the time, so I grabbed the chance to turn my ongoing projects into this new venture,” Minxuan said. Zhang added, “The sectors of game development, online education, and AI just made sense to me. My journey into game development began about ten years ago and led to the creation of my first game. Along with pursuing all my higher education online, these experiences have shaped my career really well.” “The recent surge in AI technology has only further shown me that I’m on the right track, and that there’s a lot of potential in AI’s future applications.”
