In 1999, Weng Lianhui, who was still working as a manager in a large state-owned enterprise, came into contact with the franchising business model and learned that McDonald's, the world's best-known restaurant brand, had expanded rapidly after adopting the franchising model.

Inspired by Weng Lianhui, he founded "Jixiang Hundun", the reason is very simple: Hundun store profit is low, the industry competition is not strong, the concept of branding is relatively thin, the mode of operation is more traditional, the threshold of entry is low, and it is easy for the industry to innovate.

In the second half of 1999, Weng Lianhui invested 30,000 yuan to open the first "auspicious wonton" store, by the end of the year he has five chain stores.

Weng Lianhui introduced KFC, McDonald's and other international fast-food giants advanced business model, such as clean stores, standardized production, uniform distribution, fast-food wonton business model therefore appeared.

After "Lucky Wonton" became more and more famous, Weng Lianhui set up Shanghai Shihao Catering Management Co., Ltd. in 2000, specializing in the franchise promotion of "Lucky Wonton".
