"Lin Muqin is the chairman and CEO of Shanghai-listed energy drinks maker Eastroc Beverage.",
"The mogul started out as a technician at a state-owned construction firm, and later found a job at a Shenzhen-based beverage company.",
"In 1997 he joined Eastroc, then a state-run beverage business, as its vice president. Lin reportedly scraped together more than 4 million yuan ($570,000) to acquire that firm in early 2000s.",
"The mogul soon focused on making energy drinks. He managed to build Eastroc into China's second-largest energy drinks maker by sales partly through offering products at cheaper prices.",
"In recent years Eastroc has been diversifying into other market segments including coffee and tea-based beverages."
