The family of Taiwanese industrial icon Wang Yung-Ching is extending its presence beyond traditional manufacturing through a new generation of business leaders. Based on the source material, Wang Wen-Hsiang and Chen Hsin-Sheng are emerging as key figures in two very different sectors: professional basketball and the metaverse, VR, and blockchain.
From industrial roots to cross-sector expansion
Wang Wen-Hsiang, the youngest son of Wang Yung-Ching, was reportedly trained from an early age to understand money management and business basics. The article notes that he sold toys and stationery as a student, showing entrepreneurial instincts early on. He now serves as chairman of JM Eagle, a major plastic pipe manufacturer, while also investing significant energy into Taiwan’s professional basketball ecosystem.
Chen Hsin-Sheng has taken a different route. As Wang Yung-Ching’s grandson and a nephew of HTC founder Cher Wang, he moved toward technology rather than the family’s traditional plastics business. The source says he supported HTC’s VR development as early as 2014 and was also the proposer behind HTC’s first blockchain phone, underscoring his long-standing interest in emerging digital platforms.
Basketball as a long-term operating bet
Wang Wen-Hsiang and Chen Hsin-Sheng also worked together to build the New Taipei Kings basketball team. According to the article, more than 6,000 fans packed Xinzhuang Gymnasium during the team’s second season, suggesting that the franchise had already gained strong visibility in Taiwan’s P.League+.
The report highlights Wang’s hands-on style as team chairman. Rather than staying distant from day-to-day team culture, he is described as regularly attending games courtside, energizing the crowd, and motivating players directly. That level of involvement suggests his commitment goes beyond capital support and reflects a deeper intention to help professional basketball take root in Taiwan.
Chen Hsin-Sheng’s metaverse thesis
While Wang focuses on the live sports environment, Chen appears more concentrated on digital ecosystems. He sees the metaverse as a market with substantial long-term commercial upside. His view is based in part on the observation that Taiwan has a strong gaming culture, and many users already devote more time and money to virtual worlds than to some aspects of offline life.
He also argues that younger generations are placing increasing value on digital-native goods. In that context, in-game items, virtual assets, and even NFTs may become more desirable than traditional physical gifts. That shift points to a broader change in how digital ownership and online assets are being perceived by younger consumers.
Where sports and the metaverse may converge
Taken together, the moves by these family members show how an established industrial legacy can be extended into new consumer and technology-driven sectors. On one side is professional basketball, with its live audience, fan community, and entertainment economy. On the other is the metaverse, supported by VR, blockchain infrastructure, and digital asset models.
For now, the source frames this convergence more as a strategic vision than a fully realized business model. Even so, Wang Wen-Hsiang and Chen Hsin-Sheng represent a clear direction: the Wang family’s next chapter is no longer limited to traditional industry, but is increasingly connected to sports entertainment and Web3-related innovation.
