"Yonghe Soymilk" brand is a well-known brand in the catering industry founded by Taiwan Province Hongqi Food Co., Ltd. in 1982. In 1995, it crossed the Taiwan Province Strait and came to the mainland for development. Below I will unlock the inspirational entrepreneurial history of Yonghe Soymilk for everyone, hoping to help you.

a history of inspirational entrepreneurship of Yonghe soybean milk

Yonghe Dawang is a national fast food chain enterprise, which deals in soybean milk, fried dough sticks, various kinds of porridge and Chinese snacks that meet the tastes of China people. The store has a special website, an online order mailbox and a 24-hour telephone delivery hotline. As long as you gently dial the number with your finger, Yonghe employees will deliver hot food to you as quickly as possible.

From February 2, 1995, it was born in Shuicheng Road, Changning District, Shanghai? King Yonghe? The first restaurant, as of April 2114, King Yonghe? Nearly 81 direct-selling branches have been opened in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan and Shenzhen, with a total staff of more than 3,111. It has become a large-scale catering group based on developing Chinese cuisine and specializing in the management of Chinese fast food chains. ? King Yonghe? Undoubtedly, its success has become the object of emulation by major Chinese fast food restaurants, and it is well-deserved to be called? China McDonald's selling fried dough sticks? .

To paraphrase Tolstoy's famous saying: Good enterprises are all similar, and bad enterprises have their own disadvantages. That is to say, a good enterprise is doing well in management, management, corporate culture and other aspects, while a bad enterprise often has some shortcomings or bad things. Let's take a look at it, shall we? King Yonghe? Outstanding in management:

differentiated products

Shanghainese don't like steamed buns very much, and typical Shanghainese will be confused about the difference between steamed buns and steamed buns, which can be seen from this point. The traditional breakfast of Shanghainese is generally called? Four donkey kong? They are soybean milk, fried dough sticks, big cakes and rice balls. These things are generally run by individual vendors and sold on the street, and their hygiene level can be imagined. In order to save costs, vendors generally use the oil of fried dough sticks repeatedly, but it is scientifically proved that eating such fried food often is extremely harmful to human health and easy to cause cancer. In addition, there is alum in the fried dough sticks, which is not suitable for the human body to eat more. And? King Yonghe? Our products have unique flavor and clean environment, so compared with the dusty soybean milk and fried dough sticks that have been spread on the roadside for decades and hundreds of years, their products have achieved differentiation. The oil used for frying is 111% pure natural salad oil, and it is replaced with new oil immediately after one use. For the processing of fried dough sticks, foreign flour is imported, which not only strengthens the crispness of fried dough sticks, but also reduces the intake of alum, making diners feel at ease and healthy.

Others cook Manchu-Han banquet and banquet-style Chinese food, while Yonghe only makes Chinese fast food market; Others are open for ll hours every day, and Yonghe is open for 24 hours every day; Others only opened the business of telephone delivery, and Yonghe became the first restaurant in China to order food online and deliver it. These have greatly facilitated customers, and also won for Yonghe those office workers who are busy with work in the office building and have no time to come down for dinner, and for those? Urban night returnees? I found a good place to eat midnight snack.

products must be unique to impress customers, especially food, which belongs to disposable consumer goods, and it is necessary to pursue color, fragrance and taste. Yonghe's fried dough sticks are one-third longer than those sold by ordinary roadside. Are you online? King Yonghe? Every piece of tableware for holding food has also been carefully selected and designed, so that customers can feel not only the process of eating, but also the process of slowly enjoying the delicious food 2.

High-end price

At that time, the fried dough sticks on the streets of Shanghai generally sold for only 51 cents. However? King Yonghe? Sold to 2 yuan money. Other prices such as soybean milk, rice balls and scallion cakes are also many times more expensive. In addition to the fixed cost factors such as renting storefronts, training employees and importing high-quality raw materials, the original intention of the company at the beginning was to open up the consumption level and take the high-end route. King Yonghe? Clear? McDonald's? 、? KFC? Its target customers are teenagers and children under the age of 21, so its first store opened in Shanghai at the end of 1995 and left? Quality, hygiene and high price? The road. Customer orientation is targeted at the middle and high-income people between the ages of 18 and 45, thus maintaining the dislocation with the target group of foreign fast food customers, that is, not competing directly with them, but maintaining a balanced and complementary state with them. In addition, considering the overall environment, in Shanghai in the mid-1991s, residents had some money in their pockets, and their lives were not as frugal and restrained as in the eight years. People sought a more comfortable consumption environment and quality services. Moreover, Shanghainese like innovation, change and fashion, so the high price has not discouraged people, but has set off a small wave in society. Did you really do it? Yon ho soybean milk? Become a fashionable brand and make people willing to spend more money on it. This not only ensures the revenue of restaurant operation, but also lays a good foundation for future development, which is conducive to the expansion of product mix in length and depth.

the shrewd chain Yonghe king? The development of our company has not always been smooth sailing. In 2111, due to the addition of direct stores, it was difficult to keep up with the follow-up funds, and by the end of the year, the company had lost 51 million yuan. In fact, like other chain stores, Yonghe has been doing money-burning business in the initial stage of the company, and it is bound to lose money before the scale benefits of chain operation are shown. With? McDonald's? For example, they have to open more than 71 stores in a city to make ends meet; And? Everybody happy? There must be 35 in Hong Kong to make ends meet; As for? King Yonghe? At least 51 stores are needed. The most important thing for the operation of chain stores is to have talents who are proficient in management experience. For this reason, Yonghe also specially invited headhunting companies to find senior managers from peers. Lin Yan' ao said: Management can not be improved by leaps and bounds overnight, but the management level directly determines the management level of enterprises in the future. We are looking at the long-term interests. ? Besides,? King Yonghe? Headquarters attaches great importance to the contractual spirit of franchisees. Because once a franchise shop violates the law and conducts illegal operations, there is a problem in the distribution of food, resulting in inconsistent taste of food, which will put the whole? King Yonghe? The brand is broken, which makes the brand's position in the eyes of consumers decline.

follow-up stores

can be found naturally in daily life. McDonald's? There is one within twenty or thirty meters around? KFC? Branch, these two definitely belong to? Against it? Head-on positioning, competition is very strong. ? King Yonghe? Not to be outdone, we basically adopt a follow-up strategy. Wherever you open foreign fast food, I will follow Chinese fast food. Yonghe thinks that since? McDonald's? And? KFC? The selected store site must be a gathering place for crowds first, and secondly, after all, the consumer groups of Chinese food and western food are different. King Yonghe? And there is a complementary and competitive relationship between them. For example, in Beijing, China People's University is in the west, and Academy of Sciences South Road, which is near Shuang 'an Shopping Mall in the south, is 121 meters from north to south and 81 meters from east to west, and there are more than 111 experts in the fast food industry. The west side of Academy of Sciences South Road is lined up from south to north, followed by American? McDonald's? , China? King Yonghe? , half acre garden fast food co., LTD.? Half an acre of garden? ; On the east side is Japanese fast food? Love your face , China? Hundun Hou? And those with western customs? Malan Lamian Noodles? On the south side of the T-junction? Almost all the families above KFC are close to each other, and the store size is similar. Competition is a contest and communication. Excluding the competition between the advantages and disadvantages of geographical location can best reflect the gap between the two sides. Only when we see the gap can we make progress. Lin Yan 'ao believes that compared with western fast food, Chinese food has more kinds of food, which is the advantage of Chinese food and is easy to attract more customers. But this is also the disadvantage of Chinese food, because there are many kinds of food, and the quality is not easy to control. But in the long run, Chinese fast food will never lose to western fast food.

in the decoration of the store? King Yonghe? It has also been keeping up with the pace of the times and constantly seeking innovation and change. Yonghe found in the market survey that the consumer level is extending downward, from the original 25 to 45 years old to 21 to 45 years old. This shows that its target customers are getting younger and younger. Therefore, for the decoration of each store, Yonghe changed from the antique style of the second-generation store to the leisure style of the third-generation store. A flagship store was also opened on Huaihai Road in Shanghai.

and? McDonald's? Eye-catching light box advertising, compared with the eye-catching logo set up high, King Yonghe? It's a little unremarkable, but frontispiece, with its traditional festive atmosphere in China, can win the recognition of ordinary people. What is the store logo? KFC? Fast food has a similar image of a kind-hearted old man, which is the image of Li Jinpeng, the founder of Yonghe King. Perhaps it is this kind old man who laid the approachable management mode of Yonghe King.

good reputation

and? KFC? 、? McDonald's? Compared with the overwhelming advertising strategy? King Yonghe? In this respect, it can be said that it is much more economical. The first two companies use advertising, sales promotion, publicity by the public, corporate sponsorship and other promotional methods to promote new products, while Yonghe basically does not advertise, and if it wants to do so, it will not advertise a single new product, but promote it. King Yonghe? This whole brand concept. What is the mouth of a woman? Company film? In an advertisement, it is said that white-collar workers work overtime until late at night, female white-collar workers buy Yonghe soybean milk for male white-collar workers, and male white-collar workers are also going to buy female white-collar workers to eat, and then type a line of big characters? Yonghe is your home. To tell the truth, it is not easy to make an advertisement selling cakes and fried dough sticks so fashionable.

Yonghe thinks that they mainly rely on word of mouth instead of advertising to attract customers. Improve by improving customer satisfaction? King Yonghe? Word of mouth. Because a highly satisfied customer will put in a good word for a company's products and brands, buy more new products, ignore competitive brands and advertisements and be insensitive to price, it is better to investigate customers, develop products suitable for customers' tastes and provide customers with satisfactory services than to spend a lot of money on advertising.

unique management

in that year,? Baring investment? Is the partner here? King Yonghe? What impressed me most during the inspection? Yonghe? Although there are only over 11 chain stores, a relatively systematic management system has been established? With the help of computer information management and semi-military training and training upgrade system for employees. In order to rapidly expand its stores, Yonghe Dawang has rapidly developed five teams: training, development, planning, product management and engineering. But the strongest of Yonghe King is finance and training. King Yonghe's financial statements have a thick book. The bank thinks that we are the best customers, and Baring has a crush on us. ? Lin Yu' ao said. Fast food is a cash business, and finance must be transparent. Only in this way can the spirit of financial independence be reflected. If the finance is not done well, the foundation is equal to nothing. Up to now, Yonghe King has an independent financial system in every region, and the head office never interferes.

Yonghe has a perfect staff training plan. The newly recruited employees will undergo a three-day military training, with the aim of cultivating employees' organizational discipline, hard work and team spirit. Next, there are various professional trainings. For example, the staff in charge of making jiaozi should know clearly the proportion of meat and vegetables in each dumpling stuffing, how much water and oil to put, and how long it should take to cook jiaozi to ensure that it is cooked properly.

A bright future

Profits and wealth are generated while satisfying and creating various human needs, so even a small and insignificant business can still achieve great things as long as it is done well. From the perspective of the development prospect of the whole Chinese fast food industry, there are great business opportunities. With the improvement of income level and the change of atmosphere, young people in mainland China are now cooking less at home and getting used to eating in restaurants. Even those who can cook like to go outside for a change. The fast food industry in the future should have a lot of room for development. From the perspective of the whole world, there is not a decent Chinese fast food, and? King Yonghe? The goal is to develop a brand of Chinese fast food industry, not only to turn Yonghe king into? McDonald's in China? And in the future, we will go to McDonald's hometown, the United States, and enter the European and American markets.

Actually, catering originally represents a kind of culture. China people eat foreign culture when they go to western restaurants, while foreigners eat China culture when they go to Chinese restaurants. If serious western food is equivalent to one kind? High culture? So foreign fast food is a kind of food? Popular culture? . And like? King Yonghe? Chinese fast food should represent China's? Traditional street culture? . How to inherit and carry forward this traditional culture in the new era and still maintain its own characteristics and dominant position in the follow-up of the successors? King Yonghe? Problems to be considered in future operation and development.

today? King Yonghe? The total length of fried dough sticks sold every day adds up to the height of seven Oriental Pearl TV towers. Looking forward to it? King Yonghe? The Pearl Tower of Yonghekou Group was established all over the world, and it also started the fast food brand of China people.

history of inspirational entrepreneurship of Yonghe Soymilk Part II

Three Realms

Since I started my business, my life has experienced the three realms mentioned by Wang Guowei. The first realm,? Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world. ? The second realm? The belt gradually widened and eventually regretted, which made people haggard for Iraq. ? The third realm? In the crowd once and again, I look for her in vain. When all at once I turn my head, I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed. ? The west wind withered the green trees?

when I was at school, I felt that I was ignorant. I studied sailing, but later I went into business because of fate, including working and delivering goods when I was studying, which was inextricably linked with food.

Before starting a business, I sold sewing machines, worked as a real estate agent, set up a stall and drove a taxi. Compared with selling sewing machines and houses, I think it is easier to make food. But when food is made, if it is not safe to eat, it will become a tipping point, so I am afraid to go from a small shop to a simple product? Sell low-temperature soybean milk.

by 1985, I had accumulated hundreds of thousands of yuan, and I found two partners. After one of the partners worked for two months, he didn't want to do it. He said it was too hard to do this business, and he couldn't see the future, so he quit. Another colleague, he said it was harder than selling sewing machines. After working for half a year, there was no hope. At that time, his performance in a month was only several hundred thousand Taiwan dollars, and he also quit soon.

So I had to cooperate with my younger brother. In the process of starting a business, I also realized that food has a specialty, so I asked him to go to the Food Research Institute to study food specialty, and then introduced it into the company and put standard and excellent food into operation. As far as Taiwan Province is concerned, Yonghe Soymilk is the first professional soymilk factory that has been certified as an excellent food in Taiwan Province. Our soybean milk has also passed the FDA certification and obtained the qualification of exporting to the American market.

I think it's very important to ask for yourself. When there is no standard requirement from the government, you can make a certification condition yourself first. This is the value of self-affirmation. Do you not regret the gradual widening of your belt?

the second stage? I don't regret the gradual widening of my belt, and I am emaciated for Iraq. . 15 years ago, I first came to the mainland of China and had breakfast in Fuzhou.
