The founder of AMEC, Yin Zhiyao, holds only about 0.7% of the shares personally. Upon listing, the company directly created 50 billionaires, hundreds of multi-millionaires, and hundreds of millionaires. Even long-serving security guards and drivers received millions of dollars.

The company implements an extremely flat, full-ownership model, avoiding sole control by the founder. From R&D core members and engineers to company drivers, front desk receptionists, and cleaning staff, everyone is allocated stock options or equity. The equity level gap is strictly controlled within 25%, rejecting capital monopoly-style distribution.

Returning from Silicon Valley to China in 2004 to start a business, he led a top 15-person Silicon Valley technical team back to China and founded AMEC (Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment) in Zhangjiang, Shanghai, to develop plasma etching machines.
