The founder of Haidilao is Zhang Yong. He is from Sichuan. Because Sichuanese like playing mahjong very much, the last draw card is Haidilao. In the early stage of starting a business, he thought hard about the name of the store. At that time, he had a girlfriend, who is also his wife now. Once she played cards, she made a Haidilao and drew a card, which was the last card, which was very big.

She was very happy to add more, and then his wife asked Zhang Yong why he was so sad. Zhang Yong told her that she couldn't think of the name of the store, so her wife said that she might as well just call it "Haidilao". Zhang Yong heard this name very well, so he named his restaurant "Haidilao"
