從Esprit創始人到Tory Burch:創業夫妻為何多以離婚收場?
????程正昌與蔣佩琪 ????最能代表“美國夢”的餐館,非中餐連鎖店“熊貓快餐”莫屬。兩名CEO程正昌與蔣佩琪都是亞裔移民(程正昌來自中國,蔣佩琪來自緬甸),二人在大學相識,然后喜結連理,又攜手成為億萬富翁。二人的商業帝國奠基于1973年,當時程正昌靠著一筆6萬美元的積蓄、一筆小額商業貸款以及家人的免費勞動力開了一家“熊貓旅館”。 ????1975年,程正昌與蔣佩琪結婚。程正昌于1982年開設了第二家餐廳,蔣佩琪也辭去了工程師的工作,加盟公司。 ????當事人說:2013年,蔣佩琪對《財富》表示:“我們必須學會怎樣解決商業分歧。并不是說‘你的方法是最好的’或者‘我的方法是最好的’,那種能夠接納每個人想法的方法才是最好的。” ????結局:據《洛杉磯時報》報道,去年這家私人公司的營收達到22億美元。 |
????Andrew and Peggy Cherng ????If any restaurant chain embodies the American dream, it’s Chinese chain Panda Express. Co-CEOs Andrew and Peggy Cherng immigrated to the U.S. (he from China and she from Burma), met in college, got married, and became billionaires. Their empire started in 1973, when Andrew opened the Panda Inn with $60,000 of savings, a small business loan, and free labor from family members. ????In 1975, the two wed, and when Andrew opened his second restaurant in 1982, Peggy left her engineering job and joined the business. ????Telling quote:In 2013, Peggy told Fortune, "We had to learn how to resolve business disagreements. It’s not 'Your way is best' or 'My way is best,' but the alternative way — which incorporates everybody’s ideas — is best." ????The upshot:The privately-held company had $2.2 billion in revenue last year, according to the Los Angeles Times. |
