Kicked away by the partner, what happened to the founder of Haidilao now?

Just eat the richest man by eating food, and sure enough, the power of eating food is still quite strong. Recently, Forbes Asia released the latest list of the top 50 richest people in Singapore. Zhang Yong, the founder of the popular hot pot chain Haidilao Group, replaced the Far East Agency, a real estate developer who topped the list for ten years in a row, and Huang Zhixiang and Huang Zhida brothers of Hong Kong Xinhe Real Estate, and became the richest man in Singapore with a net asset of US$ 65.438+038 billion (equivalent to RMB 65.438+000 billion).

Zhang Yong 1994 founded Haidilao, and Haidilao 20 18 was listed in Hongkong. According to the data of 20 19 published by Haidilao on the evening of August 20th, the revenue of Haidilao in the first half of the year was1169.5 billion yuan, up 59.3% year-on-year. The net profit is 965,438+065,438+0 billion yuan, compared with 646 million yuan in the same period last year, and it is expected to increase by 465,438+0% year-on-year. In the first half of the year, 65,438+030 new restaurants were opened, and the global store network increased from 466 at the end of last year to 593. By June 30th, 20 19, it had served more than1090,000 customers, with an average of 4.8 transactions per day.

Haidilao was founded by Shu Ping and Shi Haiyan. Before listing, Zhang Yong and his wife have been naturalized in Singapore, and they * * * own about 68.6% of the total issued share capital of the Company. According to the Zhang Yong couple's net worth of 5 billion yuan before the listing of Haidilao, the net worth of Zhang Yong couple has soared by 93.8 billion yuan, an increase of 19 times. At the same time, Zhang Yong and his wife also hold 35.6 1% of the shares of Yihai International (the market value of Yihai International is HK$ 512.98 million), and the corresponding market value of their shares is HK$182.67 million. Zhang Yong's/kloc-000 billion assets, that is, all his wealth, are held through offshore family trusts. Through the "Immigration+Offshore Trust", all the shares of Haidilao with a market value of about 654.38+00 billion owned by Zhang Yong and his wife are under the protection of the common law system (offshore trust) and eventually flow back to Singapore where overseas income is not taxed. In fact, not only in Zhang Yong, but also in immigration and the establishment of offshore trust has long been the standard for overseas listed bosses. Zhang Yong immigrated to Singapore, probably partly for listing.

Zhang Yong, the founder of Haidilao, was born and raised in Sichuan. My father is a chef of agricultural machinery factory, and my mother is a primary school teacher, and her family is poor. Because his junior high school grades were not outstanding and his family life was difficult, under the arrangement of his parents, he entered a technical school in Jianyang to study welding, and his highest education was technical secondary school. Compared with the business tycoons born at the same time, Zhang Yong can only be described as "without background and education". However, since middle school, he wanted to change his fate with his hands. From 65438 to 0988, Zhang Yong graduated from a technical school and worked as a welder in the state-owned Sichuan tractor factory. Zhang Yong, who is naturally fond of tossing and wandering, is not satisfied with the status quo. He looked around for opportunities to do business and do great things.

So he made many entrepreneurial attempts in his spare time, borrowed money to invest in gambling poker game machines, and thought about reselling gasoline, but all ended in failure, but he was not discouraged. Zhang Yong, who is good at pondering, found that the Mala Tang market in Chengdu was good, so he set up four tables in the street of his hometown Jianyang and began to sell Mala Tang. Half a year later, a dime string of mala Tang made Zhang Yong earn his first bucket of gold. So he decided not to go back to work in the factory, devoted himself to Mala Tang's business, and met his current lover Shu Ping at the stall. 1March, 994, Zhang Yong found his three best friends at that time (Ping Shu, good buddy Shi Yonghong, Shi Yonghong's girlfriend Li Haiyan), and the four of them * * * raised 8,000 yuan, set four tables and opened a pocket hot pot restaurant-Haidilao.

Zhang Yong is a layman in cooking. He can't cook, stir-fry or make soup. He can only learn from books, and he is doing it now, but his taste is average. In order to keep the guests, Zhang Yong helps people take care of children, carry bags and shine shoes. No matter what the guests need, they will be satisfied one by one. It is with this service that a few years later, Haidilao has become a household name in Jianyang. 1999, Zhang Yong decided to take the Haidilao brand to other places. Haidilao walked out of Jianyang's first stop and chose Xi 'an, because some people in Xi 'an were willing to cooperate with Haidilao. However, in the first few months, the business was in a state of loss, and the five-star service was still used to turn losses into profits in times of crisis. In 2004, after Haidilao entered Beijing, it quickly became famous in the industry with its unique service.

After the service signboard was launched, the business of Haidilao grew bigger and bigger. In April, 20001year, "Sichuan jianyang city Haidilao Catering Co., Ltd." was formally registered and established, and Haidilao was listed in September, 201year. Now Haidilao has opened nearly 593 hot pot chain stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Zhengzhou and other cities in China, as well as South Korea, Japan, Singapore, the United States and other countries.
