Colleagues of Qin Yuanhong's bus team affectionately call Qin Yuanhong "Qin Ma". No one could have imagined that "Qin Ma", a nickname given to Qin Yuanhong by colleagues, would later become a resounding signboard in the history of hot pot.

A laid-off bus team worker, relying on his diligence and pursuit of quality, has simply expanded a roadside stall with only six tables into a world-famous hotpot empire with more than 711 hotpot stores in major cities across the country, with annual sales exceeding 2.5 billion yuan and nearly 41,111 employees.

A few days ago, this outstanding entrepreneur who never gave up died of illness and treatment, and left this world that she had been concerned about. The death of Qin Yuanhong shocked the whole catering industry in the country. Qin Ma's hot pot is still fragrant, so the world will never be called Qin Ma again.

Qin Yuanhong, who worked in a bus team in Chongqing, chose to take the initiative to be laid off and became a very ordinary laid-off worker.

Qin Yuanhong chose to start a business with her husband Li Jie. Near the Hongqihegou Bus Hub Station in Chongqing, with nearly 21,111 yuan in savings and a borrowed sum of money, the couple started their first step in entrepreneurial life.

"Qin Ma Hotpot Restaurant" has opened! This roadside shop, with only over 31 square meters, six dining tables and eight employees, was on the right track after only one week of operation because of the diligence and pursuit of quality of the owner and proprietress of the hot pot restaurant.

Qin Yuanhong is also because "this shop has good soup and food, and the proprietress is better and more open-minded!" Word-of-mouth effect, suddenly became a household name "celebrity" near California Garden. This small hot pot restaurant soon became popular in Jiangbei, and many people came here to taste it.

Qin Yuanhong tasted the sweetness of cooking, and the business of "Qinma Hotpot Restaurant" was booming, which made her decide to make Qinma a famous hot pot brand on the basis of ensuring the quality of dishes to be improved.

"Qinma Hotpot Restaurant" has only been in business for half a year near Hongqihegou Bus Hub Station in Chongqing, and she has the courage to nearly double the storefront of "Qinma Hotpot Restaurant" at one time. There were only six tables in the roadside hot pot restaurant, and the number of tables in the store reached 51.

a "layman" of hot pot, only two years after its opening, Qin Yuanhong started the rapid expansion of "Qinma Hot Pot Restaurant": after Qinma's California store, Qin Yuanhong soon opened a flower garden store.

The scale of hot pot restaurants has expanded. A manager needs to take care of both production and storefront, which will definitely make him exhausted all the time. Qin Yuanhong's sight has entered the new term of "corporate management": please ask a group of industry elites to help me manage the store!

Chongqing Qinma Catering Culture Co., Ltd. was formally established. Qin Yuanhong, the "store manager", became the chairman of Qinma Catering. Qin Yuanhong, the chairman of the board of directors, immediately "expanded the army" of his own enterprise:

recruiting management talents with high academic qualifications and practical experience, technicians with professional titles, political engineers, economists and accountants to enrich his own enterprise.

From a roadside shop, Qinma Hotpot has grown rapidly for more than ten years, and now it has become a hot pot chain empire. Qin Yuanhong, a laid-off worker from a state-owned enterprise, wrote a legendary entrepreneurial story with his own efforts.
