From a dishwasher to a billionaire, she started her business for 20 years, but she was ridiculed by Wang Sicong for "posting backwards". Who is she?

She is Zhang Lan, Wang Xiaofei's mother. Wang Xiaofei and Big S had a heated discussion. As Wang Xiaofei's mother, Zhang Lan inevitably caused controversy. In fact, as soon as the news of their seemingly divorced came, Zhang Lan, who was broadcasting live, answered the news. At first, she repeatedly said that this was a "pure rumor", and later she repeatedly praised her son Wang Xiaofei for being very good. In the live broadcast, she also emphasized the difficulty of big S in marriage and children's education.

And Zhang Lan did much more than that. In the final interview, Big S's mother said that in the dispute between Big S and Wang Xiaofei, Wang Xiaofei and Zhang Lan have repeatedly said that it is mainly for Big S. Many netizens will inevitably ask: Is this the familiar Zhang Lan? You know, Zhang Lan used to be really strong. Even for the sake of her son Wang Xiaofei, she must intervene. But it's only been a few years now Why did Zhang Lan become like this?

Zhang Lan used to be a trendsetter. Many years ago, Zhang Lan was also a trendsetter. Growing up is really not easy. Her parents divorced before she was born. 1958, she left it to her grandmother when she was born. Fortunately, grandma's family conditions are not bad. They have a large quadrangle. Zhang Lan, who learned to speak, also had a happy childhood.

Unfortunately, grandpa's death and three years of natural disasters have made life very difficult for this family. In order to support the family, Zhang Lan's mother married an engineer. Who knows that after marriage, the relationship between the two people is not very good. Stepfather took it out on Zhang Lan.

Young Zhang Lan is often planned by her stepfather:

Get up at 6 o'clock in the morning and wash the car within 15 minutes, from the doorbell to the chain; Clear the table at 6: 15, eat at 6:30, only 10 minutes; After finishing homework every day, I have to copy 50 words for my stepfather, learn knitting needles and sweaters.

Zhang Lan will be punished if she doesn't finish the task within the specified time. In addition, after the "turbulent decade", the family was transferred to the factory in Anlu County, Hubei Province. Under difficult conditions, her younger brother, who is several years younger than her, suffered from rickets due to long-term malnutrition. Zhang Lan's mother had a heart attack.

Since then, many things at home have fallen on Zhang Lan. It can be said that life in Zhang Lan was very difficult at that time. However, hard years also cultivated her. Compared with other girls, underage Zhang Lan is more capable and persistent.

Studying hard, she met him. After graduating from junior high school, Zhang Lan was transferred to work in a textile factory in the county. I wonder if she has experienced too many difficult days when she grew up.

One morning during the summer vacation, Zhang Lan boarded a coal train. Sleep in the bathroom and hide until you get to Beijing. But when she appeared in front of grandma, she thought she was a beggar.

In fact, Zhang Lan, who is 0/5 years old, wants to go back to Beijing because she heard that her little sister's father, who is playing with her, is very capable now. She thinks this is an opportunity. A few days later, Zhang Lan stayed in her sister's father's office, dragging her relationship. Finally, the family returned to Beijing.

Living conditions have changed, and Zhang Lan has to start planning his own future. She went to high school first. 18 years old. Tuo was admitted to Beijing Institute of Technology with excellent results. She also met her first husband, Wang Zehan, in college. They fell in love at first sight and soon got together. One year after graduating from college, 23-year-old Zhang Lansheng went to Wang Xiaofei.

At that time, she graduated from a famous university and had a stable job. Husband Wang Zehan also runs his own small business. The life of a family of three envies many people around. At first, Zhang Lan, who was "ready to work hard", really indulged in this kind of life. But after a few years, she seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with doing great things.

She grew tired of the quiet life, went to see her uncle Zhang Lan, and finally quit her job and wanted to go to her Canadian uncle's house. She was 3 1 year old that year. Middle-aged people dare to challenge themselves, so brave and admirable.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Even with uncle's help, Zhang Lan can only start with the simplest way of washing dishes. At the price of $3.50 per hour, she works in four restaurants every day 16 hours. No weekends, no holidays. She devoted herself almost wholeheartedly to her work.

So Zhang Lan has a hard time in Canada. But she made a lot of money. Compared with the mainland, Zhang Lan's salary in Canada was very high at that time. But she only worked there for two years. First of all, although the salary is high, it is very uncomfortable to live in my uncle's house.

More importantly, Zhang Lan doesn't want to wash dishes all the time. 199 1 year 65438+February, she returned to China with 20,000 yuan savings.

Zhang Lan began to toss. With the "first bucket of gold" in life, Zhang Lan also began to toss. Because I have working experience in catering in Canada, I focus on catering. After a period of preparation, Zhang Lan opened the first restaurant in his life.

In order to maintain the operation of the restaurant, she made every effort. Finally, at 1999, she is already the owner of several big hotels and plans to create her own catering brand "South Beauty" again.

She also set a "small goal" for her "ambition": to make South Beauty an international brand and gourmet LV.

At the peak of the brand, there were 88 branches in China. In 2008 Olympic Games, it was the only food supplier in China. In 2008 alone, South Beauty made a profit of 300 million yuan.

At that time, Zhang Lan was regarded as a "strong woman" by many people. It was the most brilliant moment of her life. His son Wang Xiaofei came back from school. Zhang Lan appointed him as the general manager of South Beauty Restaurant Group, responsible for overseas promotion and creativity of South Beauty Restaurant Group. Perhaps because she is young and reckless, and with the protection of her mother, Wang Xiaofei has a high eye.

It is said that shortly after becoming CEO of South Beauty Restaurant Group, he encouraged Zhang Lan to list the company. Apart from work, Wang Xiaofei is not idle at all. It can be said that year after year, his love story is much more successful than his career. It's a pity that Zhang Lan is a strong woman around her mother. Basically, every relationship in Wang Xiaofei has a mother's shadow.

Wang Sicong Zhang Lan's first intimate relationship was with Feng Jing, a model 7 years younger than him. It is said that they had a good relationship at that time, but their relationship ended because Zhang Lan didn't like Feng Jing. Later, Wang Xiaofei fell in love with Yuqi Zhang again, and the good news of marriage came out.

20 10 June 10, Wang Xiaofei suddenly broke up with Yuqi Zhang. I have been in love for more than a year. At that time, many people were curious about why they suddenly broke up when they had a good relationship. Yuqi Zhang's former agent once revealed that Wang Xiaofei and Yuqi Zhang had lived together for a year and a half, but Zhang Lan would rather pay Yuqi Zhang to leave Wang Xiaofei than Wang Xiaofei to help Yuqi Zhang terminate the contract.

It is said that Zhang Lan paid 6 million yuan in compensation to keep Yuqi Zhang away from Wang Xiaofei. It can be said that Zhang Lan's love plays a decisive role in Wang Xiaofei's love. Later, I agreed to the marriage between Big S and Wang Xiaofei. As her son is old, she also wants to open up new markets.

Big S is famous both inside and outside the circle, which contributed to this marriage. But I didn't expect this marriage to cause public outcry. At that time, the photos of the wedding scene of the two were exposed and questioned by the media as "wasting luxury goods."

In order to appease public opinion, Zhang Lan had to "dispel rumors": she and Wang Jianlin were good friends and he sponsored the wedding.

So, he met Wang Sicong standing in the spotlight, and directly "answered". Young Wang Sicong didn't give face. Zhang Lan has been in the business for nearly 20 years, and has been laughed at "upside down". She became a hot figure for a while.

Many netizens regard their mother and son as "jokes".

In fact, it is no wonder that the businesses of Wang Sicong and Zhang Lan were affected, and the company failed to go public many times. I think more people are laughing at Zhang Lan now.

But despite the controversy, Zhang Lan still had a good time.
