Talk:Hantec Group

History section

I am restoring this content, which was removed in these edits:

1. Tang made his first visit to Taiwan in 1995, where he established relationships with people in Taiwan's banking sector and with politicians. In 1999, Hantec established Taiwan's sole privately owned foreign exchange market, Cosmos Foreign Exchange. – both sentences are sourced to the article written by Suk-yin Lau. The first sentence provides context for when Tang as the company's leader established relationships in Taiwan that he leveraged to create Taiwan's sole privately owned foreign exchange market, Cosmos Foreign Exchange. Regarding this removal of Cosmos Foreign Exchange as being not notable, this guideline is applicable: Wikipedia:Notability#Notability guidelines do not apply to content within articles or lists. However, Cosmos Foreign Exchange is notable as it is extensively discussed in publications in this Google Scholar search and this Google Books search. This content is due weight as Cosmos' founding is an important part of Hantec's history.
2. Hengda was unprofitable in 2002 owing to the poor market conditions during the SARS outbreak. Despite decreases in foreign exchange commissions in 2003, the company became profitable that year. As the market recovered, consumers increased trading activity on Hantec's platform bringing it increased commissions. That year, the company was the sponsor for an HKSE IPO. – this content is due weight because reliable sources discussed the company's challenges during the SARS outbreak, a major event that has been described as "the First Pandemic of the 21st Century".
