Robert Tse Ping Wang was born in Taiwan July 5, 1949. His father was the Director General of Railways for Jiangsu Province, before fleeing to Taiwan with Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek and the retreating Kuomintang forces in 1949. Robert grew up in post-civil war Taipei as people from all over China tried to fit into the chaotic little island in the 1950s and 1960s and later during the boom of 1970s and 1980s that transformed Taiwan into one of the four legendary Asian Tiger economic miracles.
我的舅舅王澤平，1949年7月5日出生於台灣。父親是江蘇省鐵路局局長，1949年隨蔣介石和國民黨軍隊退守台灣。成長於20世紀戰後混亂時代的王先生，和許多來自於中國内地的人們一樣，努力在台灣這個小島落地生根，並在1970年代到1980年代的繁榮時期，見證台灣躍身成為亞洲四小龍的經濟奇蹟。
He owned and ran various successful businesses, including coffee shops and micro finance firms, before taking his ailing mother to China in the mid 1990’s in semi-retirement. There, I met my uncle and described to him the challenges encountered in starting a helmet production facility in China. He gave me advice, often commenting on what I had done wrong and what I needed to do. And then my father, a retired college professor, and a still inexperienced me got ourselves into trouble that we could not extricate ourselves from. I went to Uncle Robert and begged for his help. He refused initially by saying he was retired. I replied that he was not retired but was bored and needed a project! After consideration, he said he would join ONLY if he managed the production and thus began our partnership where at first, Robert managed production while I led development and sales.
1990年代中期，半退休的王先生陪著生病的母親去了大陸，在那之前，他是個成功的商人，經營過咖啡店和小型金融公司。我在大陸遇到他，跟他談到我在大陸設立頭盔工廠時遭遇的挑戰，他給我建議，告訴我哪裡做錯了、應該做甚麼。後來，我父親和我，一個是退休的大學教授，一個是初出茅廬的年輕人，我們共同創立的公司陷入泥沼。我跑去找王先生尋求幫忙，最初，他以自己已經退休為由拒絕了。我說，「你沒退休，你只是很無聊，應該找點事來做！」他考慮以後表示，如果讓他負責生產管理，他就加入。我們的合作夥伴關係就此展開。最初王先生管理生產部門，我則負責開發及銷售。
Once Robert joined, our venture took off like a rocket and by 2000, we already were expanding to our current site in Dongguan. Working long days and nights, Robert led Strategic to expand production from just final assembly to become the vertical helmet producer the industry knows us as today.
王先生加入後，公司業務風生水起、蒸蒸日上，到2000年，我們已經把目前位於東莞的工廠建設完成。王先生每日焚膏繼晷地工作，帶領著韜略公司，把生產規模從最初的組裝廠，擴大到今日業界名氣響亮的垂直頭盔生產商。
Each step, Robert analyzed what skills and knowledge was needed and steadfastly went in that direction. He instilled in the Strategic team the mindset that we can go forward, right, left, or even backward, but to never stand still as that was always the wrong decision. Robert relentlessly pursued automating production in response to rising labor costs in China.
每走一步，王先生都會分析需要哪些技能和知識，然後堅定地朝著目標前進。這是他向韜略團隊灌輸的觀念：我們可以向前、向右、向左，甚至向後，但永遠不要停滯不前，因為那必然會是錯誤的決定。因中國大陸勞動成本不斷提高，王先生更是堅持不懈地追求自動化生產。
He stayed with our engineers many late nights working on solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems and never letting anyone give up. During the Covid years, Robert stayed in China to guide challenges of dealing with erratic government policy and industry fluctuations. And once Covid restrictions were relaxed, Robert spearheaded the expansion of our Portugal facilities and expedited the construction of our Vietnam factory. He regularly led the meetings for our global expansion, saying Strategic must give customers options – even if they have not realized it yet.
為了一些看似無解的問題，王先生和韜略團隊的工程師通宵達旦地度過無數個夜晚，因為他的人生中沒有「放棄」兩個字。在新冠疫情期間，王先生留在大陸，站在前線與團隊共同面對政策不確定性和產業波動的挑戰。疫情一解封，王先生旋即領軍推動葡萄牙廠的擴建及越南工廠的建設升級。他定期召開韜略集團的全球擴張會議，他強調，即使客戶還沒開口，韜略集團必須為客戶提供選擇。
In many ways his overwork was his ultimate sacrifice. Uncle Robert valiantly overcame various chronic health issues as he led Strategic's vast production globally. But he was not able to overcome them all, as the culmination of fatigue caught up with him on Sunday January 14th when he passed away in his sleep.
王先生的拚搏，導致他積勞成疾。在公司全力衝刺朝向全球化大規模生產擴張之際，他始終堅毅勇敢地克服各種身體的病痛。只是這次他沒能戰勝病魔，在1 月14日星期天，他在睡夢中辭世了。
He was my uncle, partner, superior and mentor. He guided us these decades and his spirit will continue to guide us for decades to come. May Uncle Robert Rest In Peace. We at Strategic will never forget his "Can Do" spirit, which we will carry forth as our banner in market battles yet to come.
他是我的舅舅、合夥人、上司和導師。過去幾十年來，他領導我們向前邁進；未來幾十年他的精神仍會繼續引領我們。願王先生安息。韜略團隊永遠不會忘記他的「Can Do」(我們做得到)精神，在未來的市場戰役中，這也將成為我們勇往直前的旗幟。
