Qin Yinglin was the chairman and CEO of Muyuan Foods, one of China's largest pig breeder and pork producers. He stepped down from both positions in June 2026, citing the reach of retirement age. Cao Zhinian, a cousin of his wife Qian Ying's, has been promoted from vice chairman to chairman. Former CFO Gao Tong has become CEO. Qin started his own pork breeding business in 1992. Back then, he had only 22 pigs. Nowadays Muyuan has an annual pig farming capacity of about 80 million heads. The Shenzhen-listed company raised in 2026 $1.4 billion through a share sale in Hong Kong. Qin's son, Qin Muyuan, was also appointed to the board of the dual-listed company in 2026.
