Hair king set to spread good oil edited by Stephen Mayne ONE of China's new breed of entrepreneurs, Dr. Zhao Zhangguang, dubbed the 101 Hair Oil King in his homeland, is in town and looking to spend up to $US100 million ($12.9 million) to start a hair products business here. Dr. Zhao will today meet the Victorian Government's business development body, Business Victoria, to gauge support for a possible factory in the state, his first outside China. He told Insider he could have the operation up and running within a year producing what, in China, is a legendary range of hair restoring products -- they have restored tufts to more than six million heads, they claim. The hair products factory would be the first stage and would be followed by investments in areas such as food and clothes. Dr. Zhao estimated there were more than two million balding Australians who could potentially use his miracle, natural, herbal cure and he believed the country to be a good base for exports. Zhao has a booming empire in China to back him up: he operates more than 50 factories there, is one of the country's richest men and is a member of the National People's Congress. And if you want more immediate proof, he also sports one of the finest mops of hair for a 55-year old this side of hirsute ex-PM, Bob Hawke. Zhao will display the 101 range at the National Beauty and Health show at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre at the weekend. He said the first 50 customers to his stand would be treated for free. Oh, and he also does stuff for acne.
