On July 7, Haidilao International Holdings Co., Ltd. released the overall operating report for the first half of the year, in which the report showed that as of June 30, 2020, the overall income of the Group decreased by about 20% compared with the same period of last year, and the net loss was as high as 900 million yuan. Haidilao officials said that the operating losses generated by its company were mainly related to the epidemic situation prevailing in the country in the first half of this year. At the same time, due to the obvious control of the national epidemic, its turnover is gradually picking up. Although Haidilao suffered huge losses in the first half of the year, the leadership and relevant shareholders are full of confidence in the prospects of Haidilao. This can't help but be interesting. What is the background of its founder? So that it can still maintain the normal operation of the whole group despite the loss of up to 900 million.

Haidilao, founded in 1994, is a catering service organization focusing on Sichuan-style hot pot. Its founder is Zhang Yong and its nationality is Singaporean.

Zhang Yong was born in Sichuan and graduated from cheung kong graduate school of business. After graduating from high school, he entered jianyang city Air Separation Technical School. After graduating from technical school, I entered the relevant tractor factory and worked as a technician in the tractor factory for 6 years. According to relevant insiders, Zhang Yong is a motivated, knowledgeable and ambitious person. During my work in other tractor factories, I often visit all parts of the country on holidays to conduct relevant research. The idea of doing business in catering service institutions was formed long before Haidilao was established. When the time was ripe, Zhang Yong got enough financial support and successfully established 1 Haidilao in 1994, which developed rapidly. Since the beginning of this year, Haidilao has 9 1 branches in China, and it can maintain the growth rate of 4-5 branches every year and keep growing.

From the excavation of relevant background, it is not difficult to see that Zhang Yong does not have a high academic background and a good family background. To achieve such good results, on the one hand, it depends on outstanding talent and insight, on the other hand, it is inseparable from the emergence and collision of related opportunities. At the same time, its flexible business mind and courageous action ability also prompted it to develop Haidilao into one of the top ten innovative enterprises in China. The development of Haidilao is inseparable from Zhang Yong, and we also believe that under the leadership of Zhang Yong, Haidilao will become bigger and bigger.
