1994, Tang bought Changxing Building, a century-old shop that was about to run out of oil and lamps. As it turns out, she has a unique vision. The small Changxing Building is famous in the catering industry where "small shops are dirty and messy and big shops have high thresholds". Diners swarmed in, and peers followed suit, forming a rare "Changxing Tower Phenomenon", which triggered the first service revolution of Changzhou catering industry. Tang's name spread like wildfire and became the most frequently mentioned name in Changzhou.
Success is just the beginning. Tang wants to "open a big hotel that is worthy of consumers' love". At that time, state-owned or foreign-related hotels were the main hotels. She resolutely took the lead and invested more than 40 million yuan to open a Changxing Loucheng store with a business area of 5,000 square meters in a prime location in the center of Changzhou. At the beginning of the business, exquisite and delicious dishes, consistent service reputation and reasonable and moderate prices were warmly sought after by the market. The restaurant was crowded and diners celebrated each other. She led the private enterprises in Changzhou to the Grand Hotel, which opened the prelude to the scale economy of Changzhou catering industry, and the catering street in Chengzhong Road became Starlight Glimmer.
The headquarters of Changxing Mansion Hotel, which was completed at the end of 2003, is a masterpiece integrating architectural art and catering culture, and embodies the idealism of "doing the best if you want" in Tang Dynasty. This dining hall with an investment of over 100 million yuan has a business area of 25,000 square meters and more than 300 seats/kloc-0. "Changxing Building" has become synonymous with Changzhou catering industry.
In 2002, Changxing Group entered the real estate field. "What is the living environment of consumers and what kind of housing do they expect most?" Thinking about heart-to-heart has once again become the starting point of Tang's long exam. At that time, the property market was experiencing a happy time of making money anyway. Who has time to dream in the exciting market where one room is hard to find? "Don't copy, do the principle", Tang has the final say. She firmly riveted herself on the position of consumers, and wanted to create a high-grade "poetic dwelling place" for consumers, which pioneered the leap from "simple dwelling type" to "quality dwelling type". June 5438+October 2005 10, the "Changxing Good Life Home" was unveiled, creating eight firsts in community construction at one breath. All kinds of intimate designs tickle consumers and win applause from the market. In many people's minds, Tang is a strong woman, but in fact, she is a sensitive, quiet and caring person. Her broad mind and selfless generosity to social charity not only make people appreciate the ocean of love in her heart, but also make people understand her ultimate goal of constantly pursuing wealth-returning to society!
1998, in Chenjiatang Village, Meijiahe Township, Zigui, Hubei Province, located in the depths of Wushan, she invested more than 200,000 yuan to build the first "Changxing Guang Cai Primary School"; Eight years later, in Litang County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, she invested more than 260,000 yuan to build the second "Changxing Guang Cai Primary School".
In 2000, she set up "Changxing Million Glory Poverty Alleviation Fund" to once again lend a helping hand to the poor in society; In the activity of establishing "Brilliant Century Forest of Private Enterprises in China in 2000", she undertook the task of afforestation in 200 mu of desert undertaken by Jiangsu Province.
In 2005, the Changzhou Municipal Government raised charitable funds, and Tang took the lead in responding, donating 6,543,800 yuan. Considering Changxing Group is still a developing enterprise, the city leaders advised her not to donate too much. Tang Dui said: "Without the Party's reform and opening-up policy, Changxing Group would not be today. It is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of private enterprises to be rich and think about the source, to be rich and think about progress, to respond to the call of the state and to repay the society. " It is difficult to count Tang's donations because there are too many donations.
Her love is not only passed on to strangers far away, but also to employees around her anytime and anywhere. One year, an electrician in the company got acute liver disease. After learning about this, Tang immediately sent someone to send him 25,000 yuan and sent him to Shanghai for treatment. During the period of treatment and recuperation, all the debts owed by his family were borne by Tang himself. She also personally contributed 500,000 yuan to set up a helping fund in the company. Employees or families with special difficulties can apply for monthly subsidies. The company also invested 5 million yuan to build dormitories for employees, each room is equipped with air conditioning and shower room, and the activity center is also equipped with a library and entertainment room, creating a warm family space for them.
April 18, 2006, Great Hall of the People, Beijing. China charity "2006 China Charity Ranking and Ten philanthropist Release Ceremony" was held grandly. When Tang, the only woman in the Ten philanthropist, took the stage to receive the award, the host Bai read her acceptance speech: "When it comes to charity-related matters, everyone is willing to take kindness as water. In fact, water is the most powerful, and the next winner can show kindness as well as water. She is a member of China People's Political Consultative Conference. She seems to consciously hide behind the crowd after making the enterprise bigger, but she always stands in front of the crowd when doing charity. She is Ms. Tang, the chairman of Changzhou Changxing Group ... The old people in the mountainous area call her Guanyin Bodhisattva. She is the pride of Changzhou people and the pride of contemporary China women. "
