But Yao Ming just took out the word "Yao" as a signboard, and this Yao restaurant was very popular when it opened, focusing on Chinese food. At that time, Yao Ming was still playing for the Rockets. Because of his strong personal influence, many people came here to eat at Yao's restaurant. Yao Ming often takes the Rockets to Yao's restaurant for dinner, and also takes some famous NBA guests to taste Chinese food, such as Uncle Mu and Ewing. Over time, Yao Restaurant became a private dining place in Yao Ming.
Yao restaurants were once very popular, which also promoted the development of local tourism. Many tourists from China come here, first to watch the Rockets game at their homes in Houston, and then to eat at Yao's restaurant. But after 20 1 1 Yao Ming retired from the NBA, the business of Yao Restaurant became more and more sluggish. Although Yao Ming occasionally comes to Houston to participate in activities, due to the decline of Yao Ming's popularity in the league, the traffic of Yao Restaurant is also decreasing.
Yao Restaurant focuses on Chinese food, but this restaurant has been operating under the brand name of Yao Ming from the beginning. When Yao Ming's local influence declined, even though Americans loved Chinese food, the business of Yao's restaurant was quite ordinary. When Yao's restaurant became popular, it also opened branches in other parts of Houston. After Yao Ming retired, one of the branches closed down due to poor management.
At present, only Yao Restaurant near China City in Houston is still in the opening stage. The food in Yao Restaurant is very ordinary, but the price is very expensive. After that, Yao's restaurant opened to his hometown in Yao Ming, and it is estimated that business is not so good. Now Yao Ming devotes himself to the basketball career in China and doesn't care much about these sideline businesses. Yao Restaurant has always said that the word Yao does not refer to Yao Ming, but to Yao Ming's father.
The above is my personal opinion. If you have different opinions, please discuss them in the comments section.
Of course, tea is cold. Yao Ming has retired and returned to China. His parents, wife and daughter also returned to China. Yao Ming's focus is on basketball in China, so he naturally has no time to manage Yao's restaurant. One is closed and the other is empty.
When Yao Ming first went to the NBA, he was very famous. After all, he is the number one scholar. In addition, as a native of China, many local Chinese naturally admire Yao Ming. Besides, Yao Ming has an economic mind, so he opened a "Yao Restaurant", featuring Yao's mother's chaos.
Later, Yao Ming told everyone that Yao in this Yao restaurant mainly refers to his father. However, despite all this, people crowded into Yao's restaurant and business was booming. Moreover, Yao Ming also brought friends to Yao's restaurant, which was equivalent to advertising. Because business is so good, Yao Ming and his family opened another branch in Houston. It is said that there was an intention to open another branch in Shanghai.
Then 20 1 1 Yao Ming retired and became the leader of the Shanghai team, mostly at home. People go to Yao Restaurant because the tea is cold and Yao Ming can't visit it. So one Yao restaurant closed and the other was empty. In addition, this Yao restaurant, which is still open, has changed its Chinese menu to a western menu. Yao Restaurant actually has something to do with Yao Ming from its name.
I can't help it. This is the reality. Yao Ming, after all, is a human being, so he can't have so many distractions to run a restaurant. His focus now is on basketball in China, which is the main thing for Yao Ming.
Yao Ming is very famous among Chinese athletes. Even now, he is the president of our national basketball association. Yao Ming's basketball career is very brilliant. He was the first yellow man to be selected as the No.1 pick in the NBA and the only one so far.
At that time, he joined the Houston Rockets as the number one scholar, which brought great fame to the city. Yao Ming's career in NBA is very brilliant. He is the only player in Asia who has been elected to the NBA Hall of Fame. It can be seen from him that yellow people can also play basketball. During his time with the Rockets, Yao Ming joined hands with McGrady for many times to create brilliance. At that time, the rockets were the darling of the league. Even the rockets led by Harden Paul were not as good as the rockets at that time. At that time, Houston Arena was packed. Look at the audience now. It's really pathetic.
Yao Ming is not surprised that most NBA stars have their own sideline businesses. No amount of money can be spent. Many people know this truth. Yao Ming naturally knew that during his time with the Rockets, he started his own business and opened a restaurant named Yao Restaurant. The name of this restaurant is also defined by his name. The food inside is a combination of east and west, which attracted a large number of customers when it first opened. Many people from China went to pay their respects. Later, business got better and better, and several branches were opened in Houston. At that time, Yao Ming was the signboard of this restaurant. Many people went there with celebrity effect. Now Yao Ming has retired from the Rockets for eight years. How is their restaurant business?
Yao's restaurant, which has lost its celebrity effect, has not closed yet. On the contrary, the restaurant business here is still very good, because it is a restaurant that combines Chinese and western, and it is very distinctive. Even if Yao Ming has left Houston, there is no celebrity effect, but people's taste buds will not deceive people. If the food is good, business will continue.
Yao Ming's restaurant closed when he was still playing for the Rockets, mainly because his dishes were too single and his customer base was too narrow. It won't work after a few days. Yao Ming only plays basketball, but he can't manage the hotel. On the one hand, the dishes are not suitable for American tastes, on the other hand, it is also caused by poor management.
As the first player in China to enter the NBA as the No.1 scholar, Yao Ming's influence in the NBA is very high, completely opening up the basketball market in China. It's a pity that Yao Ming hasn't played in the league for a long time. After only nine years, he had to leave because of injuries and other problems. During his career, Yao Ming once opened an NBA-themed restaurant named Yao Restaurant in Houston.
Although from the outside, the decoration of Yao restaurant is not luxurious, but it has attracted countless fans and passers-by, and it has become one of the places where fans will definitely "punch in" after watching the ball. When it first opened, Uncle Mu, Boss Frodo, O 'Neill, Ewing, McGrady and other stars all came to join us, and many players who like Chinese food will also come to try it.
Because this restaurant is a combination of "restaurant" and "bar", fans can not only taste authentic Chinese food, but also drink and chat and watch the live broadcast of NBA. Therefore, Yao Restaurant was once one of the most popular restaurants in Houston. There is a constant stream of fans who come to support Yao Ming, and they often need to queue up for appointments.
However, with the retirement of 1 1 Yao Ming, the popularity of Yao Restaurant began to decline gradually. Although there are still many viewers watching the live broadcast of the ball every year, it is difficult to maintain the popularity of that year. Then Yao Ming started fighting for China basketball, moved out of Houston with his family and rarely returned to this restaurant.
Today, one of Yao's restaurants has closed, while the other is empty. Yao Ming, on the other hand, has devoted most of his energy and thoughts to the development of CBA, so he naturally has no time to engage in sideline business. Now, he can only use "people leave tea cool" to describe.
The words "people leave tea cool" may be the best description of the current situation of "Yao restaurant"!
As for the "Yao Restaurant", Yao Ming has always explained to the outside world that this Yao is his father's Yao, not Yao Ming's Yao, which means that it is not owned by Yao Ming, but operated by my father, and I will stay out of everything!
This Yao restaurant is jointly run by Yao Ming's parents Yao Zhiyuan and Fang Fengdi and Yao Ming's friends Wang Daxie, Fu Jilin and Yu Di. The geographical location is very good. It is located at 9755 Weiss Hammer Street, the most prosperous high-end dining street in West Houston. There are many Chinese living nearby, and there is a China City 15 minutes from this restaurant. Because of Yao Ming's reputation in China, many China people and Rockets fans came here. In the first few years, the business of Yao restaurant was very hot. When this Yao restaurant opened, Yao Ming was still working for the Rockets. Because of Yao Ming, Yao Restaurant is the first choice for many meals of the Rockets, which gives Yao Ming enough face. Besides, Yao Restaurant specializes in Shanghai cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, and many foreigners are also very interested in China cuisine!
The good times didn't last long. Perhaps because of Yao Ming's retirement, this restaurant seems to have lost its influence overnight. Many diners here can't see Yao Ming. Perhaps they realized that Yao Ming had little to do with this restaurant, so they gradually lost interest in Yao's restaurant and stopped patronizing it. The business of Yao's restaurant began to be gradually ignored. Later, it was reported that a branch had closed down!
Today, the business of Yao restaurant can only be said to be average. Most of the diners who come to Yao's restaurant are Chinese in China, not far away. Without the support of Chinese, it is estimated that Yao restaurant will be difficult to operate any more!
Today, one of Yao's restaurants has closed, while the other is empty. Yao Ming, on the other hand, has devoted most of his energy and thoughts to the development of CBA, so he naturally has no time to engage in sideline business. Now, he can only use "people leave tea cool" to describe.
I still remember that when Yao Ming was elected as the No.1 pick in the NBA at the beginning of the year, people in China were very excited, but American fans were more skeptical, because they had never seen an Asian player beat many explosive black players in the United States in talent. Therefore, Yao Ming's initial "NBA road" was not smooth, and even many teammates refused to accept him. Buckley even mocked Yao Ming for being a parallel product on the national live broadcast. If Yao Ming scores 20 points a game, he will kiss up to Yao Ming. Of course, the result was that the Rockets traded away the unconvinced players and helped Yao Ming. Yao Ming quickly hit Buckley in the face. In the rookie season, he was selected as an all-star starter and became a household name in the United States.
As a result, the Rockets have become the "NBA home team" in the hearts of hundreds of millions of China fans. When Yao Ming's influence is gradually increasing, some businessmen hope to use Yao Ming's influence to turn it into profits. So in 2005, Yao Restaurant was founded in Mo Street, Vichard, the most luxurious downtown area in Houston, which was the "punching place for network celebrities" in Houston's mind at that time. You can not only taste authentic China cuisine, but also have the opportunity to see Yao Ming with your own eyes. However, Yao Ming announced his retirement on 20 1 1, and it has been eight years now. So what is the situation of Yao restaurant, which was once booming?
In fact, there are two Yao restaurants in Houston. The first one is the luxury urban area mentioned above, and the second one is near China City, where there are more Chinese. When Yao Minggang retired, his influence had not faded, and the restaurant could still operate. However, in the fourth year after Yao Ming retired, Yao Restaurant on Hamor Street had already announced its closure. Today, only Yao Restaurant near China City is still struggling to maintain.
Therefore, people have to feel that everything is cool. Although Yao Ming had great influence at its peak, it could not drive Houston's consumption after only a few years. In contrast, Jordan is really a superstar who affects the world. He has retired for 0/7 years, but Jordan's MJ shoes are still the hottest sneakers in the world. But now Yao Ming's influence is mainly at home. He is the president of the Basketball Association and leads the development of basketball in China in another way.
Yao's restaurant is closed now. This is easy to understand. First of all, Americans still attach great importance to privacy, which makes them less crazy about any star, even when they meet on the road sometimes. When their favorite star conflicts with their own interests, Americans will not hesitate to choose themselves. Even though James's voice was recently condemned, he didn't get much response when he stood for Hillary as a sports hero in Cleveland.
Although Yao Ming is famous, Americans are no exception. Not only Americans, but also consumers anywhere in the world don't worship sports very much. Since it is a restaurant, the cost performance and the dishes themselves are the key. Yao restaurant mainly relies on marketing to eat, and the dishes and prices can't compete with the same type of restaurants at all, so there is no business and it is conceivable to close down.
What's more, Yao Ming used to be the boss of the team, and now he is the president of the Basketball Association, so his energy is not so high. His family doesn't seem to like doing business. It's no big deal not to do business.
Of course, tea is cold. Yao Ming has retired and returned to China. His parents, wife and daughter also returned to China. Yao Ming's focus is on basketball in China, so he naturally has no time to manage Yao's restaurant. One is closed and the other is empty.
When Yao Ming first went to the NBA, he was very famous. After all, he is the number one scholar. In addition, as a native of China, many local Chinese naturally admire Yao Ming. Besides, Yao Ming has an economic mind, so he opened a "Yao Restaurant", featuring Yao's mother's chaos.
Later, Yao Ming told everyone that Yao in this Yao restaurant mainly refers to his father. However, despite all this, people crowded into Yao's restaurant and business was booming. Moreover, Yao Ming also brought friends to Yao's restaurant, which was equivalent to advertising. Because business is so good, Yao Ming and his family opened another branch in Houston. It is said that there was an intention to open another branch in Shanghai.
Then 20 1 1 Yao Ming retired and became the leader of the Shanghai team, mostly at home. People go to Yao Restaurant because the tea is cold and Yao Ming can't visit it. So one Yao restaurant closed and the other was empty. In addition, this Yao restaurant, which is still open, has changed its Chinese menu to a western menu. Yao Restaurant actually has something to do with Yao Ming from its name.
I can't help it. This is the reality. Yao Ming, after all, is a human being, so he can't have so many distractions to run a restaurant. His focus now is on basketball in China, which is the main thing for Yao Ming.
