David Barboza, The Village Girl Who Grew up to Be a Billionaire; How the richest woman in China worked her way up to the top from a factory floor. New York Times, Aug 2, 2015 (in Sunday Business section).
Excerpt in the window of print: At the vanguard of China's push into high-end manufacturing.
three consecutive paragraphs:
"In 2003, she [ZHOU Qunfei 周群飞] was still making glass for watches when she received an unexpected phone call from executives at Motorola. They asked if she was willing to help them develop a glass screen for their new device, the Razr V3.
"At the time, the display screens on most mobile phones were made of plastic. Motorola wanted a glass display that would be more resistant to scratches and provide sharper images for text messages, photos and multimedia.
“ 'I got this call, and they said, ‘Just answer yes or no, and if the answer’s yes, we’ll help you set up the process,’ ” Ms. Zhou recalled. “I said yes.”
My comment: I read (including company’s website), but still do not know what its products are. See

("born in Xiangxiang 湖南省湘潭市 湘乡市 * * * Lens Technology supplies protective window glass covers for Apple and Samsung products * * * She and her husband, Zheng Junlong, remain the company's majority shareholders and live in Hong Kong with their children”)
But some others say it made and makes touch screens.
