Personal story

Wedding room or storefront

In p>1986, China was in the seventh year of reform and opening up, and Wang Huimin was 31 years old. Despite her family's warning, she threw away the iron rice bowl of the state-owned enterprise and decided to start her own business. "When I resigned, I wanted to open a restaurant. My family likes to eat and is very particular about eating. My mother cooks a good dish." Wang Huimin took a fancy to the pockets of rich people and chose a facade on Changsha Road near Beijing Road. "At that time, many businessmen who made hardware concentrated in Beijing Road."

In order to get the facade room, Wang Huimin exchanged his wedding room with others. "Our house of more than 21 square meters was very good at that time, with a wedding room with independent water, electricity and sanitary facilities." And that facade room is only 11 square meters. According to the value at that time, Wang Huimin lost at least 1 million yuan in this exchange.

But it was this 11-square-meter shop, which can only hold four or five tables, that won the first pot of gold for Wang Huimin.

Going to Hongkong and Facing the World

Wang Huimin once said: "Eating is a happy thing, but the happiness of life is not just eating." And when a woman regards her career as the source of happiness in life, she can inspire her hidden courage and boldness.

With the booming business in Shanghai, Wang Huimin gradually set his sights on a broader horizon. However, unlike many Shanghai catering brands that set up shop in Beijing, Wang Huimin chose an unusual way, that is, opening the first foreign store in Xiaonanguo in Hong Kong. Although it was very difficult to start, after two or three years of exploration, a lot of market research and rectification, Hong Kong Xiaonanguo finally embarked on the track of benign development and became a well-known Chinese food brand in Hong Kong.

With the successful experience in Hong Kong, Xiaonanguo continues to expand globally. Up to now, its two brands, Xiaonanguo and Huigongguan, have more than 61 restaurants in 11 cities around the world.
