How Values Shape Leadership: Song Chuan of Positive Energy Electronics Network Speaks Out

 

Kinghelm interview team visits Positive Energy Electronics Network in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen

Seeking to explore the true meaning and real-world impact of “positive energy” within the electronics industry, the Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) interview team traveled to Huaqiangbei to meet Mr. Song Chuan, Founder and General Manager of Shenzhen Positive Energy Network Technology Co., Ltd., better known as Positive Energy Electronics Network (www.bom.ai).

Mr. Song, an electronics veteran born in the 1970s and originating from China’s Sichuan–Chongqing region, has devoted more than three decades to the industry. His professional journey has been driven by genuine passion, lifelong learning, and a firm belief in long-term value creation. During the interview, he explained that the company’s name embodies its core philosophy: fostering a more transparent, trustworthy, and responsible ecosystem for electronic component distribution.

“Everyone in society both serves others and benefits from the services of others,” Song shared. “Only by doing work that brings peace of mind, contributes positively to society, and stays within one’s true capabilities can we feel truly at ease. In today’s fast-paced and high-pressure world, that sense of inner calm has become an increasingly rare and valuable asset.”

Born and raised in Sichuan—historically celebrated as the “Land of Abundance”—Song embodies the resilience, pragmatism, and openness often associated with entrepreneurs from western China. Over the years, he has built deep and lasting relationships across the electronics industry, including a long-standing friendship with Mr. Song Shiqiang, General Manager of Kinghelm and Slkor. The two have collaborated, exchanged insights, and grown alongside the industry for more than a decade.

When asked what has sustained his professional journey, Song pointed to one defining force: genuine interest. Formally trained in electronic technology, he developed an early fascination with circuit design, which later expanded into computers and software development. After moving to Shenzhen in 1996, he initially set his sights on founding a computer company—an ambition that gradually evolved into a broader and more resilient entrepreneurial path.

In 2002, Song entered the online electronic components sector, a field in which he has remained deeply engaged for 24 consecutive years. His career has unfolded at the convergence of electronic engineering, software development, internet platforms, and component distribution. Long-term interaction with both distributors and end customers has sharpened his understanding of real market needs and reinforced innovation as a central competitive strength of Positive Energy Electronics Network.

For Song, entrepreneurship has never been static—it is a process of constant adaptation and hands-on involvement. His daily work spans product innovation and platform upgrades, regular on-site visits to component traders, active participation in regional industry organizations, and continuous dialogue with customers through digital channels. He also hosts weekly live-stream sessions to discuss industry trends and address customer questions, viewing direct engagement as an indispensable element of operating successfully in today’s digital-first environment.

Positive Energy Supply Chain

In response to long-standing challenges around surplus electronic components, Positive Energy Electronics Network launched a dedicated surplus inventory platform in 2025. Built to tackle market information asymmetry, the platform efficiently connects inventory holders with real buyers, reinforcing the company’s commitment to solving practical, industry-wide problems through digital innovation.

Song pointed out that surplus components are not waste, but a valuable and often underutilized asset within the electronics supply chain. Inventory accumulation has long been a defining feature of the Huaqiangbei market. The platform’s debut quickly validated this reality: on its first day alone, it attracted a high volume of listings and generated rapid transaction activity, clearly demonstrating strong market demand for more efficient inventory circulation.

Looking ahead, Song emphasized that Positive Energy Electronics Network will continue to focus on technology-driven services and long-term collaboration. By improving transparency, efficiency, and trust across the supply chain, the company aims to play a meaningful role in building a healthier, more sustainable global ecosystem for electronic components.

Blending the roles of electronics enthusiast, computer hobbyist, and internet innovator, Song Chuan credits his personal evolution to long-term learning, deep self-reflection, and ongoing dialogue with thoughtful, like-minded individuals. He believes that life’s direction is ultimately shaped by a fundamental question: what kind of person do you choose to become?

In Song’s view, self-discipline and self-awareness are the foundations of a clear and purposeful life. He encourages people to strive to become individuals of integrity, happiness, and hope—gentle yet wise, grounded yet beneficial to society. This philosophy is reflected not only in his work, but also in his lifestyle. After more than 20 years of smoking, Song successfully quit and has maintained a strict vegan diet for five years, avoiding all animal products as well as pungent vegetables traditionally excluded in plant-based discipline. He shared that this transformation has brought him a profound sense of joy, inner clarity, and physical lightness, reinforcing his belief in mindful and intentional living.

Song also highlighted the lasting value of reading and maintaining close relationships with insightful people. By staying connected to wise companions and aligning knowledge with action, he believes individuals can cultivate positive causes and allow meaningful results to emerge naturally. In his perspective, consistent effort at the source ultimately leads to genuine connections, inner fulfillment, and long-term value creation.

Some of the most revealing chapters of the company’s story are not written in grand showcases, but in its quiet corners. Tucked away in modest cabinets and displayed on plain gray walls, the honor certificates and intellectual property documents of Positive Energy Electronics Network stand as understated symbols of perseverance—reflecting the steady, behind-the-scenes dedication of Huaqiangbei’s professionals.

Song shared that his true priority has always been technology. By staying deeply involved in products and services on a daily basis, he maintains a close connection to real customer needs. In his view, focus itself is a core capability: only with a calm and concentrated mind can one truly observe how users interact with technology. Since the recent launch of the Surplus Inventory Clearance platform, Song has been personally engaged in addressing customer issues and refining operations. Once the platform reaches stable performance, he plans to redirect his energy toward the development of new products and technologies—continuing a cycle of innovation grounded in practical insight.

Office Space of Positive Energy Electronics Network

During the interview, Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) reporters witnessed the working rhythm of a seasoned technical leader up close. Multiple devices ran simultaneously as phone calls and digital notifications arrived in quick succession. Yet amid the constant flow of information, Song maintained a calm, steady pace—working with both efficiency and visible enthusiasm. His habit of capturing ideas the moment they arise allows fleeting inspiration to quickly turn into concrete action.

This entrepreneurial tempo has remained unchanged for more than a decade. As Song put it, “Life is work, and work is life, because the same mind experiences both.” What stands out most is that his drive is still fueled by genuine interest. That sustained curiosity and passion create a rare sense of balance—what he describes as living calmly within a fast-moving world.

When asked how he maintains such a consistently positive mindset, Song reflected that people naturally fall into habitual patterns shaped by ego and attachment. Recognizing the difference between what is right and what is misguided, he said, is essential. Many moral principles are simple enough to teach a child, yet difficult to practice as adults. Courtesy, humility, responsibility, and a willingness to contribute only gain meaning when they are actively lived. In Song’s view, true understanding emerges through practice, not theory.

Song describes himself as an idealist. Earlier in his career, his focus was on acquiring technical expertise; today, his attention has shifted inward—to understanding his own mind. He believes the inner world represents cause, while the external world reflects result. To understand oneself, he suggests, is ultimately to understand others and the world at large. Life, in this sense, becomes an ongoing exercise in mental discipline.

He sees this discipline as a process of shedding unhelpful habits, sharpening focus, and developing insight through observation and reflection. Viewing situations from the perspective of life itself, while remaining attentive to the emotions of those around us, enables greater empathy and clarity.

Song also spoke about quiet acts of kindness carried out without expectation or recognition. He believes that genuine generosity leaves no trace of giver, gift, or receiver, and that accepting impermanence in the external world allows life to become simpler. Letting go, he noted, is both a mindset and a skill—one that requires continual practice.

In closing, Song reflected on the true meaning of humility. He emphasized that, regardless of wealth or status, all people share the same fundamental identity as living beings. Seeing the world through this lens helps prevent attachment to superficial appearances. Every life seeks to thrive, to be understood, and to be treated with respect. With this awareness, Song believes individuals should cultivate understanding, compassion, and genuine kindness toward others.

Since adopting a vegan lifestyle, he noted, his respect for life has grown even deeper. Life’s encounters, he added, are never purely accidental—they emerge from connection and opportunity. “To meet someone is already a form of fate,” Song said. “What remains is learning how to cherish that encounter and respond with kindness.”
