Shanghai Wanlong Investment
Jin Yiming runs Shanghai Wanlong Investment, a generalist venture and growth platform inside Shanghai Zhaodi Group's operating-company structure.
Shanghai Wanlong Investment
Shanghai Wanlong Investment was founded by Jin Yiming, who also serves as Chairman of Shanghai Zhaodi Group, the parent entity. The firm is headquartered in Shanghai and operates as a generalist investment vehicle. Jin Yiming is active in regional business networks, holding the presidency of the Shanghai Taizhou Chamber of Commerce and serving as Executive Vice President of the Shanghai Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. The investment strategy covers early-stage, seed, start-up, and expansion-to-late-stage venture, operating across generalist sectors. The Zhaodi Group parent structure brings adjacent operating assets under common control: the Zhaodi Business Golden Plaza commercial property in Shanghai's Jiading District, plus two piano manufacturing companies — Shanghai Maike Piano Co. and Suzhou Duke Piano Co. — in addition to a yacht exposure asset. Headquarters are in Shanghai, with no additional offices publicly identified. Adjacent activities include the Congenital Heart Disease Charity Fund for Children, a philanthropic vehicle tied to the principal's activities. Deployment figures and total team size are not publicly disclosed. Shanghai Wanlong Investment is structurally distinct among small Chinese investment platforms in operating a venture strategy inside a parent that holds tangible operating companies and real estate. This creates a hybrid of asset manager and holding-company operating group, unusual for a firm that is not a formal family office.
