At the end of 2022, we found Tang Jian, a well-known barbecued sausage uncle, who returned to Qingdao as promised and reopened a barbecued sausage restaurant in Hisense Plaza. This news has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions. Tang Jian used to be a restaurant tycoon in Qingdao, but due to the failure of his investment, he owed a debt of up to 46 million yuan. However, Tang Jian did not give up, but decided to pay off his debts with grilled sausages and worked hard unremittingly.
Tang Jian told us that by chance in 2020, he suddenly became popular selling roast sausages in Hangzhou Longxiangli Snack Street, which became a hot topic on the Internet, and even topped the hot search list on Weibo. This unexpected ** made Tang Jian receive attention from all sides, and people came to taste his grilled sausages.
However, despite the excitement, this experience in Hangzhou made Tang Jian deeply inconvenient and unstable. Considering his family and more business opportunities, he finally decided to return to Qingdao for development. As his hometown, Qingdao not only gives him emotional support, but also has a broad market and business opportunities. Tang Jian reached a cooperation with Hisense Plaza and decided to set up his own barbecue sausage restaurant in this bustling business district.
Tang Jian admits that although he has worked hard for a whole year, the progress of debt repayment has not been satisfactory. Although he had received orders of more than 4,000 yuan and ** of 60,000 fans, due to the impact of the epidemic and operational difficulties, he was almost unable to fulfill and process these orders. He said he didn't want to expose fans and franchisees to unnecessary losses, so he didn't contact them for the time being. Tang Jian's current way of repaying debts is to build his barbecue sausage restaurant into a big brand and repay debts through share discounting, which is also accepted by creditors.
Qingdao is an important development location for Tang Jian's own grilled sausage brand, and he is determined to win with quality and reputation. In the barbecue sausage restaurant in Hisense Plaza, the daily turnover has reached 6,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, and it has achieved good business. In addition, he also opened two stalls next to the store, Pot Helmet Jelly and Mao Xuewang, to meet the needs of a variety of consumers. Tang Jian revealed that Mao Xuewang was the most popular dish when he used to run the old courtyard of the Tang family in the Sichuan restaurant, and many Qingdao people came to taste it. Both of these stalls have achieved quite good results.
Tang Jian has a new understanding of his own entrepreneurship. After experiencing ups and downs in life, he understood that greed is not advisable, and steady progress is fundamental. He gave up his business in Hangzhou and devoted himself to the development of Qingdao. He is determined to create high-quality products, not only focusing on the taste and quality of grilled sausages, but also striving to improve production technology and technology to make products more large-scale and professional.
Although the progress of debt repayment is still at the zero stage, Tang Jian still maintains an optimistic and positive attitude. He hopes to gradually expand his brand influence by focusing on the quality and reputation of his products, and eventually achieve the goal of debt repayment. For him, what matters is not only the taste of grilled sausages, but also the persistence and courage to start a business.
Tang Jian's story is touching, and his persistence and hard work are worthy of our learning and admiration. He taught us not to give up in difficult situations, to have the courage to face challenges, but also to be humble and hardworking, and to pay off our debts and chase our dreams with practical actions. We look forward to Tang Jian's future success and believe that he will once again create brilliant results in Qingdao and achieve debt repayment."
