Woon Wing Yip's life

From 65438 to 0940, Woon Wing Yip was born in an "overseas worker's family" in Dongguan, Guangdong. In the year of his birth, Woon Wing Yip's father was forced to make a decision to move his family to Hong Kong because of years of war and the embarrassment of losing all his possessions.

1959, Woon Wing Yip, who graduated from high school and was full of vigor, came to Hull, England by boat with 10. With the help of Hakka Association, she became a restaurant cup washer, working for more than ten hours every day. Woon Wing Yip's good management quality was appreciated by the restaurant owner, and he was promoted to the front desk waiter. After two years of hard work day and night, Woon Wing Yip, who knows all aspects of restaurant management, doesn't want to work for others anymore. He and two friends opened a humble seaside teahouse in Clacton-on-sea in the east of England in 1960, and started to do Chinese restaurant business. In the second year of the Chinese restaurant's opening, a camping resort with a daily passenger flow of more than 8,000 people and a service staff of more than 2,000 people was built nearby, and the Chinese restaurant suddenly became overcrowded. In order to attract more guests to eat, the three young people changed the business habit of British businesses to close early, took the initiative to extend the business hours to 9: 30 pm, and then raised funds to expand the restaurant area. 1968, the eldest brother Ye, who works as a hotel and trade in Hongkong, came to a place not far from Wan Li to help. In this way, in less than 10 years, Woon Wing Yip, with his extraordinary diligence, hard work and flexible brain, changed from an unknown restaurant cup washer to the owner of three restaurants and two takeaway shops.
