Text|After the outbreak of the
epidemic, the catering industry has encountered great challenges, and many catering companies have entered a very difficult time. Recently, the famous Jumbo restaurant in Hong Kong announced its closure. For this reason, many Hong Kong citizens feel very sorry and come here to take pictures here. In fact, even if you are not a Hong Kong person, you probably have a certain impression of this restaurant.
Jumbo Restaurant, also known as Jumbo Seafood Square, is an offshore restaurant composed of two luxurious boats. The building shape and interior decoration are the same as the palace. It can be said to be magnificent. It was once a representative of Hong Kong's luxury restaurants. In fact, this restaurant has appeared in countless movies. Back then, Bruce Lee's movie "Dragon Fight and Tiger Fight" was shot in Jumbo Restaurant. Later, "Infernal Affairs 2" was also filmed here. In addition, many foreign films were also shot here. At that time, many foreign celebrities came to Hong Kong to travel, so they must go to Jumbo Restaurant for a meal.
Speaking of the most famous story of Jumbo Seafood Square, it was "The God of Cookery" filmed by Stephen Chow back then. This movie can be regarded as a very classic. In the final battle, Stephen Chow was in a duel with the villain at Jumbo Seafood Square. Many people may have seen this movie, but they just don't know the restaurant.
Actually, the owner of this Jumbo Seafood Shop is Stanley Ho, whom we are very familiar with. In 1976, Stanley Ho teamed up with Zheng Yutong to buy the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant from Wong Lo Kat. Because before the completion of the Jumbo Seafood Shop, there was a big fire before it opened. In the end, Wang Lo Kat was forced to sell the Jumbo Seafood Shop to two rich men.
So Stanley Ho and Zheng Yutong spent 30 million on reconstruction in 1976. What is the concept of 30 million in 1976? It is estimated that young people may not know the market value of Li Ka-shing's company at that time. 30 million was an astronomical figure that year. After the reconstruction of Jumbo Seafood Square, diners are in an endless stream and business is very good.
At that time, Jumbo Seafood Square was managed by Aberdeen Catering Company under Stanley Ho. In 1993, Stanley Ho sold the Jumbo Seafood Shop to another company, Melco International, for a price of more than 400 million yuan. But from then on, the Jumbo Seafood Square began to decline.
By 2001, Jumbo Seafood Shop had gone from a monthly loss of 3 million to a monthly loss of 10 million. At this time, He Hongshen gave the Jumbo Seafood Shop to his young son, He Youlong, and the dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor. He Youlong was very young at the time. He had just graduated from a foreign country and had worked hard in Hong Kong for a while.
After He Youlong took over the restaurant, he carried out a series of reforms to the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant and finally achieved great success. Jumbo Seafood Square successfully came back to life. It is precisely because of this incident that He Youlong made He Hongshen look at him with admiration. Afterwards, He Hongshen funded He Youlong for 900 million US dollars, allowing him to successfully acquire a gambling card from Wynn and start his own era. Now Ho Yulong’s Melco International has surpassed Ho's Macau gaming. He Youlong also won the title of Little Gambling King.
Stanley Ho likes Jumbo Seafood Square very much, and his birthdays are held at Jumbo Seafood Square. In 2013, Stanley Ho held a birthday party here for the last time. At that time, he also hosted many celebrities in the city. However, after each birthday, Stanley Ho was in poor health, and he spent it in the hospital.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, Stanley Ho's family can be said to have suffered heavy losses. According to statistics, they lost as much as 300 million yuan a day, because Macau casinos are closed. On the one hand, income has fallen sharply, and on the other hand, employee wages are still supporting . In the past two months, the Stanley Ho family lost at least 20 billion yuan.
Now He Youlong can't stand it anymore, so he can only take the opportunity to close the Jumbo Seafood Shop. After all, in recent years, Jumbo Seafood Restaurant has also begun to decline, and now it has encountered an epidemic, so He Youlong shut down this 44-year-old brand for environmental reasons, and it also shut down many people's memories.
In fact, the success and failure of a restaurant is not about making money or not, but being able to provide so many people with good memories is also a kind of success. In fact, it is rare that He Youlong still does not forget to do charity despite his own losses. He still donated 20 million to Wuhan.
In fact, Stanley Ho’s second and third rooms are considered good this time. He Chaoqiong from the second room donated 20 million yuan, He YoulongDonate 20 million. He Chaolian from Sanfang donated tens of thousands of masks. Four rooms are relatively disappointing. He Chaoxin even had a public meeting with Ren Zhengfei's daughter Yao Siwei and others at the bar at this time, and he did not wear a mask to cause controversy. In addition, Angela Leung also spent 500 million to buy a luxury house in Hong Kong. The treasure restaurant where Stephen Chow filmed "The God of Cookery" was also closed. The owner lost 300 million yuan a day and donated 20 million yuan. When he was very difficult, He Youlong could actively donate, which is indeed good. The low-key and steady He Youlong is indeed He Hongshen's most promising son.
