Steve Wu was born in Taishan, Guangdong province in 1968. In 1986, he was admitted into South China University of Technology's program for the Design of Chemical Machinery. Three years later, he graduated and immigrated to Canada with his parents.
On April 28, 1996, Steve Wu established Netlink Computer Inc. It was originally a single, walk-in retail outlet in Burnaby, British Columbia. In 1997, a website was conceived to provide a growing number of Canadian and U.S. customers access to the store’s large selection of computing products online.
In 2002, NCIX began establishing additional walk-in retail outlets in the Metro Vancouver Area and debut a new online store acquired from an unnamed outside development and marketing team based in the Toronto area. The Vancouver store (located on West Broadway) commenced operation in 2003, while the Richmond sector was opened to the public in 2004. NCIX continued to expand their business and opened a Langley outlet in 2006.
