PDD's Chinese-American Billionaire Investor Duan Yongping Heaps Praise on Temu

Chinese-American billionaire and low-key entrepreneur-investor Duan Yongping publicly praised e-commerce giant PDD Holdings' Temu for its marketing success, highlighting the budget-shopping site's high-profile advertisements during the Super Bowl in 2023 and 2024."The Super Bowl is a great platform for advertising, but I never managed to make it there," Duan said during a speech at his alma mater Zhejiang University on Sunday. "Colin Huang Zheng, founder of Temu, did it.". "Almost everybody in the US knows about Temu now ... even my housekeeper is using it," he added. "Many people are buying things on the platform. The business model is cool, and the quality is improving step by step.". Duan introduced Huang to Berkshire's CEO and chairman Warren Buffett after winning a charity lunch auction with the famed US investor in 2006. Duan had paid US$620,100 for the meal and invited Huang, then 26, who was working as a software engineer and product manager at Google.
