Mike Hu, the founder of Lakeview, was originally a manager at a button-switch manufacturing company. The button switches they produced was used in the Shenzhou V spacecraft, which brought him a sense of unprecedented pride during a TV interview. After the successful launch of Shenzhou V, their button switches received high praise locally, and he was invited for an interview by a television station. While passing by the control room, he was captivated by the dazzling lights emitted by the video switchers. Out of professional curiosity, he inquired about them and learned that the button switches used in video switchers were imported, expensive, slow in delivery, and too limited in variety. This is where he conceived a crazy idea.
