Where there are rivers and lakes, there are legends.
In ancient times, people often talked about heroes by their martial arts, but now they measure a person's success by his wealth. Corresponding to the combat power list of that year, there is also a wealth list that we talked about after dinner. But every rich man who can get a place on the list has something extraordinary, not to mention the richest man who has topped the list.
Now China's economy has developed for so many years, all walks of life have undergone tremendous changes, and the names on the wealth list have come and gone. There are many names that people admire, and naturally there are many names that people sigh. For example, Chen Tianqiao, the former richest man, was criticized by domestic netizens for donating money to the United States. For example, Zhang Yong, the richest man in Singapore, was also "indignant" when he emigrated overseas after making money at home. Our protagonist today is also a "legend". He was once the richest man in the catering industry and was famous.
It is Meng Kai. Like all legends, Meng Kai's entrepreneurial story has experienced many twists and turns. Meng Kai, who was born in Wuhan in 1969, graduated from Electric Power Technical School in 18, and worked as an ordinary worker in Wuhan Heavy Machine Tool Factory at that time. With the arrival of the spring breeze of reform, ambitious Meng Kai decided to go into the sea to do business, so he left for Shenzhen a year later.
Young Meng Kai still tasted the viciousness of society, but she also gained her love on the way, a beautiful girl named Zhou Changling from Hunan. When the time came to 1995, the couple opened a family named "Xiangxiang Restaurant" in Shekou, Shenzhen, and slowly got some improvement, that is, holding 21,111 yuan and four tables in their hands next to the messy motorcycle repair shop, which opened the legendary road of their catering industry.
Three years later, by chance, Meng Kai went to the Great Hall of the People for a meal, which planted a deep seed in his heart. Later, in Haidian District, he exhausted his 3 million possessions and ushered in the first "Hunan-Hubei Love". The origin of the name is also the witness of Meng Kai and his wife's love. By 2112, the annual revenue of "Hunan and Hubei Love" in Beijing had reached 55 million yuan, and in the following years, Meng Kai brought the signboard to the north and south of the river, which also ushered in its own "high light". By the end of 2118, "Hunan and Hubei Love" had 8 franchise stores and 13 direct stores.
In 2119, "Hunan and Hubei Love" was successfully listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange, which established the title of "the first brother in the catering industry" in Meng Kai. On the day of listing, the total market value of "Hunan and Hubei Love" exceeded 5.3 billion yuan, and Meng Kai became the richest man in the catering industry with a value of 3.937 billion yuan by virtue of this 67% company's shareholding. However, the good times did not last long. Only three years after listing, "Hunan and Hubei love" fell from "paradise" to the bottom.
at the end of 2112, the central government promulgated the "eight regulations", which also caused the whole banquet market to plummet. When Meng Kai was interviewed in the future, he also attributed the failure of "Hunan and Hubei love" to this. In the following time, "Hunan and Hubei love" faced a great shock, many stores closed down one after another, and the company also faced repeated transformations, but it had little effect. Meng Kai even submitted his resignation under the pressure of all parties.
In 2117, Meng Kai announced its return, but this time is different. After coming back, it is faced with endless control disputes and debt disputes. As a result, Meng Kai has faced as many as 111 lawsuits since 2118. Some of them are final cases, that is to say, the person subjected to execution has no ability to return, and Meng Kai is therefore called the "most cunning" former richest man.
The reason is that when the company was in crisis, that is, from the end of 2114, Meng Kai went to Australia because of the problem of funds. At that time, the announcement given by "Hunan and Hubei Love" claimed that "Meng Kai was on a business trip to find a way to pay off debts". However, it was only three years, and after he came back in 2117, Meng Kai, who was getting fatter day by day, started related operations again. Just as he said in the opening of "Xiang E Qing 1995" in Shekou, Shenzhen, he was just helping investors look after the venue.
In the past few years after returning to China, Meng Kai has been helping the so-called "gold master" to look after the venue. As for the true feelings, we don't know. Interestingly, a Chinese restaurant has opened in Wangfujing Macau Central Shopping Mall in Beijing. The name is just "Hunan and Hubei Love" which we are familiar with. Yes, Meng Kai has been hiding in Tibet for six years and has opened a shop in Beijing. I wonder if he is helping others to "work" again?
