On the evening of April 27, 2020, Zhang Yong, founder of Haidilao, sent an internal email to announce the adoption of the leadership talent selection plan for the next 10 to 15 years, aiming to strengthen the effective internal promotion mechanism and reserve talents in advance for the sustainable development of the company and the long-term retirement plan of the senior management team.
After the release of the open letter, according to incomplete statistics of「readCEO」, hundreds of first-line founders and entrepreneurs forwarded the full-text letter in the circle of friends, or referred to the succession plan when they were interviewed by the media. Mr. Kou Yuanjun, the founder of Chengdu COACHYARD, said in an interview with the 「readCEO」that this is a retirement plan that makes my eyes filled with tears. I hope that one day Mr. Zhang Yong’s retirement dinner will be held in the “mushroom banquet · Sichuan restaurant”. I have opened a restaurant for 20 years and have never served any guests completely. I would like to dedicate my first service to Zhang Yong.

Elder brother fool said that Zhang Yong is a great founder. The success of Haidilao has made all walks of life study and learn the entrepreneurship and service spirit of the new era. After more than 20 years of development and creation, Haidilao has entered the industry-abiding stage. This succession plan fully demonstrates his dedication to long-term doctrine. I firmly believe that a good market environment is the cornerstone of talent reserve. For Haidilao, a brand that takes “service driven development” as its core strategy for the future, Mr. Zhang Yong clearly expresses Haidilao’s thirst for talents in talent introduction. In fact, the inexhaustible power of development, no matter in the city or in the enterprise, lies in talents.

At present, the national catering industry is in the recovery period under the cold winter of the epidemic. The media still doubt whether the new catering forces relying on financing can survive tenaciously. Kou Yuanjun, who was born in a traditional catering enterprise, has rich practical and innovative experience in the aspects of cost reduction, revenue increase, effectiveness upload, franchise management, etc. in his more than 20 years of entrepreneurial career, which is also the biggest advantage of his brand compared with other new catering.
“As an experienced founder and CEO of catering, first of all, we should consider the health of cash flow, second, the gross profit rate should be positive, so as to truly achieve a positive net profit, so that the company will have the ability to continue to operate,” said the elder brother , the core of sustainable operation is refined operation, that is, whether the team objectives are consistent, whether the financial situation is healthy, and whether the dining experience is excellent. Yudao has accumulated rich experience in long-term operation and practice, so we continue to maintain confidence in the market. Pursuit that can’t stop, Answer that can’t stop coming.
