Zhou Zhiyuan. Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Group Co., Ltd., referred to as Chow Tai Fook for short, is the jewelry company with the highest market value in the Hong Kong stock market. It was founded by Zhou Zhiyuan on 1929 and successfully listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 2010+02. Chow Tai Fook, the iconic brand of the group, was also established in 1929. With Chow Tai Fook's flagship brand as the core, we implemented a differentiated brand strategy and successively launched a variety of targeted retail experiences. Chow Tai Fook's main business covers the design, manufacture and retail of jewelry, as well as the trading of precious metals. As a diversified enterprise, while maintaining the traditional jewelry business, the Group also actively expands new business areas. Zhou Zhiyuan, a native of Shunde, Guangdong, an entrepreneur from Chinese mainland and Hongkong, is the founder of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Store. From 65438 to 0929, Zhou Zhiyuan founded the first gold shop in Hongde Road, Guangzhou, which mainly engaged in traditional gold ornaments and named it Chow Tai Fook. 1938, Zhou Zhiyuan expanded its gold store from Guangzhou to Macau, China, and opened the first Chow Tai Fook gold store in Hong Kong and Macao in Caodui Street, the old business district of Macau. The following year, Zhou Zhiyuan came to China and opened a branch in Queen's Road Central 148. From 65438 to 0946, Zhou Zhiyuan successively opened branches in Kowloon and Causeway Bay, and Chow Tai Fook shifted its focus from Macau to Hong Kong. Because Zhou Zhiyuan's son didn't want to inherit his father's business, Zhou Zhiyuan transferred most of his shares to his son-in-law Zheng Yutong before his death.
