When you think of Beijing, you think of roast duck;
When you think of Lanzhou, you think of ramen;
When you think of Shaanxi, you will think of liangpi;
When you think of Chongqing, what comes to mind?
Yes, everyone will think of hot pot, but behind this hot pot, there is such a story:
sewing machine
In Chongqing in the 1990s, Tuo'er cars ran all over the streets, and Hongya Cave had not yet been repaired.
At that time, it was fashionable to go to school, using a fountain pen and then buying a box of red rock ink;
At that time, whoever had a "Red Rock" brand sewing machine was a well-off family;
At that time, the drink was not Coca-Cola, but Tianfu Coke.
......
Tianfu Coke
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > Qin Yuanhong's difficult entrepreneurial road</h1>
At that time, Qin Yuanhong, the founder of "Qin Ma Hot Pot", began her entrepreneurial road.
At that time, she and her husband Li Jie were on the side of the California Park Highway, and her husband Li Jie opened a hot pot restaurant.
You know, at that time, their hot pot restaurant was very simple, with only 6 tables.
The old diners now recall:
Twenty years ago, we started to eat Qinma hot pot next to the Hongqi Hegou bus hub station, and then Qinma hot pot developed and grew, and we ran to the flower garden shop to eat.
Mother Qin is thin and tall, very diligent, has a cheerful laugh, and has a good personality.
This is everyone's general evaluation of Qin Yuanhong.
At that time, it was coinciding with the restructuring of state-owned enterprise bus companies, and Qin Yuanhong, who was not willing to be ordinary, was ready to start a business after consultation with her husband, but everything was difficult at the beginning, and after they discussed, they were ready to engage in the hotel industry.
Because their family has an ancestral hot pot secret recipe, and Qin Yuanhong has worked in a catering company, so they are familiar with the road.
At that time, all their belongings were only 20,000 yuan, and for them to start a business, they obviously did not have enough funds.
So the two began to borrow money from relatives and friends.
With their own 20,000 yuan, plus tens of thousands of yuan borrowed, they officially opened the mother's hot pot restaurant.
You know, at that time, their hot pot restaurant only had 6 tables, only 30 square meters.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" > get up early and be greedy, regardless of fatigue</h1>
We know that opening a restaurant is very tiring, especially in the evening, if the guests do not leave, you can not close the door.
For Qin Yuanhong, it was even more early and greedy.
She is a purchaser, manager, waiter, seasoner, etc., you can imagine how busy and tired, every day the body is in an overload of transport.
Every day, regardless of exertion, she wakes up early and gets dark, and only sleeps for four or five hours at most.
But no matter how tired she is, she always treats people sincerely and is service-oriented, so that customers can eat hot pot with satisfactory taste.
It is Qin Yuanhong who does not care about fatigue and gets up early and greedy, just like a farmer planting land, with a full harvest.
In less than a week, Qin Ma hot pot went to the regular, less than half a year, Qin Ma hot pot is well-known in the local area, many diners come to visit.
Half a year later, Qin Ma's hot pot shop increased to more than 50 tables.
At this time, Qin Yuanhong and his wife have already recovered the investment costs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > develop small stores into large enterprises</h1>
Originally you thought that the story would end here? Not really.
Although Qin Yuanhong's hot pot restaurant has been very successful in the local area, she is not satisfied, she opened her own direct stores in various business districts in Chongqing, and started a scale and process.
She expanded from hot pot to food processing to farming and farming.
Qin Yuanhong has made a single hot pot shop a large enterprise in the national chain, and what is more cattle is that in 2009, Qin Ma hot pot successfully entered the US market.
At that time, behind this brilliance, Qin Yuanhong's countless hard work and mental strength were full.
Perhaps in response to the old saying: every success is not easy to come by!
It is precisely because of years of hard work, Qin Yuanhong is also a disease of overwork!
She amassed a lot of wealth and was arguably financially free, but has since been plagued by illness.
According to Qin Yuanhong's acquaintances:
As early as five or six years ago, Qin Yuanhong was seriously ill, has been treating, and has never given up.
Three years ago, Qin Yuanhong and Pastoral founder Xie Yaqin went to the United States for medical treatment, and it was the world's most famous and most advanced Mayo Clinic.
But in the end, it didn't save her life!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" > Qin Yuanhong Apocalypse</h1>
For the sake of her career, Qin Yuanhong can be said to be a strong woman.
She struggled and fought day and night, and you can imagine how much pressure there was.
Some time ago we have been criticizing 996, which is a 12-hour shift a day and a 6-day shift a week.
And Qin Yuanhong's work intensity, I think, is much greater than 996, and as a result, he is not very old, and he died.
Qin Yuanhong had too many honors.
National March 8 Red Flag Bearer;
May Day Labor Medal recipients;
Chongqing Model Worker;
Vice President of Chongqing Catering Chamber of Commerce and so on.
When you lose your health, the disease will come, and it will treat you equally, whether you have money or not, whether you have honor or not.
Working day and night, dragging the exhausted body, although it seems to be successful, it inadvertently shortens the length of life.
Even if a large amount of wealth is accumulated, it loses its health and loses its life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="86" > do anything with a degree of relaxation</h1>
In addition to Qin Yuanhong, there is also a star named Meng Tingli, who also died of overwork.
In 1994, Meng Tingli felt that the film could not fully satisfy her love of acting, so she chose to turn to the television circle.
Meng Tingli's first TV series was "The Legend of Xiang Shuai".
The popularity of this drama before it was broadcast was very high, in Meng Tingli's family, her parents were already old, and she and her two younger brothers were studying, in order to make more money, she desperately filmed.
In this way, she can make more money for her brother to study, and in the end, Meng Tingli died of overwork, which made people sigh.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="96" > written at the end</h1>
Life is precious, health is more expensive!
Long-term overwork, inadvertently shorten the length of life, although the accumulation of thousands of family property, but in the end is not blessed, please remember:
Health is the most important thing, don't wait until you lose it to know the preciousness of health!
Otherwise, it is to make more money, which is equivalent to zeroing.
After the end of the full text, I hope that my article will bring you ideological enlightenment, thank you for your praise.
