Characters and deeds

Making a living in England with RM55

Ye Huanrong, known as ye Shu, was born in Dongguan, Guangdong Province. As a child, he moved to Hong Kong. After graduating from middle school, he went to Britain by boat alone in 1959. In the 1970s, he founded "rongyexing", a grocery chain selling Oriental food and products. As his philosophy of management and financial management is mainly steady, rongyehang hardly needs bank loans for its development. "Rongyehang" keeps buying land and properties, which makes ye Huanrong a local real estate tycoon.

In the development of the new modern business model, rongyexing is also keeping pace with the times. Since November 11, 2004, rongyexing's online shopping officially opened, which is the first one in yinghuaren supermarket. In 2005, Wing Yip also plans to open at least eight more branches in the UK. It also plans to expand its business scope from food to general merchandise, which is called "things Chinese". And continue to expand the source of customers, especially the development of British consumers, to meet the business needs of the British people, in-depth into the daily needs of the British people. From the cup washer to the richest Chinese in Britain

Ye Huanrong is a Hakka. He and his family are typical representatives of Hakkas who have been wandering all over the world. Born in Guangdong, ye Huanrong spent his childhood in Dongguan. Later, his family lost all their property and moved to Hong Kong. After finishing his studies in Hong Kong, he came to the UK in 1959. At that time, he was just in his early 20s. Like all the young people who left their hometown to dream of gold, he started his own business from the bottom of the miscellaneous workers. Relying on the money accumulated by doing the cup washer behind the bar of the Chinese restaurant and working for more than ten hours every day, rongyehang was founded and developed into the largest Chinese enterprise in Britain. All the members of his family have created brilliant career and wealth in the United States, Britain, Canada and other parts of the world.

Recalling his entrepreneurial path, ye Huanrong always jokingly said that although his family did not leave him any property, it inherited his business cells and brain. As a matter of fact, he wrote the legend of becoming a rich man from a cup washer by virtue of his unique innate business intelligence, great business insight, wisdom and diligence.

Ye Huanrong said that most immigrant enterprises are founded and developed by relying on the strength of families, which is a common feature of overseas Chinese enterprises. Rongyehang is also a family business. The difference is that rongyehang has a very strict management system. He believes that the management of an enterprise, regardless of its size, is very important and must be specialized. Ye Huanrong has a theory, that is, the boss must share weal and woe with the employees, and care about every bit of the enterprise. If the boss is slack, how can he ask the employees to be serious and nervous? In Rongye, he would care about everything. He is a boss who doesn't look like the boss at all. No matter how late he was, every day he would go to rongyehang to have a look before he went home to sleep. It's like a father kissing his baby goodnight every night. Speaking of his business experience, he said that for more than 30 years, he has mainly engaged in trade and real estate, because real estate and trade are inseparable, one is bone, the other is flesh and blood. "When I do business, I do what I'm familiar with. I don't do what I'm unfamiliar with. I don't do what I can't control."

Needless to say, the limitations of education, the monotony of work and life, and the simple satisfaction of material life have limited the career development of some overseas Chinese. However, ye Huanrong is totally different. Although he often says that his education is limited, people who know him or have talked with him will feel his wisdom, humor and erudition. It's a great pleasure to chat with ye Huanrong. He not only speaks fluent English, but also often quotes classics, quotes extensively, and is full of philosophy during the conversation, which sometimes makes people applaud. In addition to business, he has his own unique views on politics, history, society, people, family life and the feelings of men and women. I believe that only those who have read a lot will have such wisdom, and only those who have experienced a lot will have such understanding. He is also very diligent and studious. He has to read many Chinese and English newspapers every day. He pays special attention to today's world politics and economy. He also has a good understanding of China and international affairs. He also responds to the new trend of contemporary global business operation in a timely manner. When he analyzed the economic situation at the company's management meeting, he used today's business management terms, even the graduate students from famous British universities just learned them. His wisdom is not only used in business, but also in life. This is probably the secret of his continuous progress and success.

One hundred people benefit from Rong's Scholarship

Ye Huanrong is a very low-key person to the media. He rarely receives interviews, does not participate in any Chinese associations or associations, and does not hold any social positions. There is no long list of positions or titles on his business card, but only three big words - ye Huanrong. He did not invest in China, but it did not affect his concern and enthusiasm for China's development. He had his own way to express his Chinese heart. He's special. He invests in talent. He said that talents are the future of China, and investing in talents is not for me, but for China in the future. After these Chinese children and Chinese students are well versed in Chinese and Western learning, China will have the largest and international talent force. This power will play a decisive role in a sense.

In less than 10 years, Ye has owned three restaurants and a takeout shop.

Today, Wing Yip has 4 supermarket chains in London, Bermingham and Manchester, the three major cities in the UK. It employs more than 300 people and supplies goods to more than 2000 Chinese restaurants and retail stores in the UK with an annual turnover of £ 70 million. There are more than 2500 kinds of commodities in each supermarket, not only oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but also Chinese vegetables, frozen food, traditional snacks and kitchenware. The headquarters of Wing Yip hang in Birmingham is a center of catering, clinic, accounting firm, law firm and other services. In Britain and China, people no longer have to worry about missing Chinese food.

Ye Huanrong is a low-key person. He seldom sees his figure in various club activities, let alone hears his eloquence. But there is not a day in his heart when he does not want his country to be strong. "In old China, education was the foundation of national development," he said

After the success of Rongye, ye Huanrong established the "ye Huanrong brothers Charity Foundation" and the "ye Huanrong brothers grant" since 2000. The amount has increased from 25000 in the past to 36000 now to encourage Chinese children to study in British universities. So far, 199 Chinese mainland, Hongkong, Taiwan, Malaysia and the United Kingdom have been funded. Ancient Chinese literature search was launched in 2003. He also established a "Ye Huanrong scholarship" at University of Cambridge. He awarded two outstanding Chinese mainland students to study in Cambridge 10 thousand pounds per year, and awarded an English student to study in China. In addition, rongyehang has a special benefit: the children of all employees, who are studying in University, will receive an annual subsidy of 1500.
