Why is the surname of Chinese jewelry Zhou, and what is the relationship between Zhou s jewelry?

First of all, I would like to say that not all Chinese jewelry brands have the surname Zhou. In accordance withMediumNational jewelry brand recommendation listThe rankings are: Hong Kong Chow Tai Fook Chow Tai Fook, Hong Kong Chow Sang Sang Chow Sang Sang, Shanghai Lao Fengxiang, Hong Kong Luk Fook Luk Fook Luk Fook Jewellery, Hong Kong TSL Tse Sui Lin, Guangdong CHJ Jewellery Chao Hongji, Guangdong Chow Tai Seng Chow Tai Sheng, Jiangsu Tesiro Tongling, Beijing I Do.

Presumably, what the landlord wants to know is the above three "weeks."'The relationship between the surname jewelry, but as far as the author knows, there is no connection between these three major jewelry brands.

Chow Tai Fook <>

Chow Tai Fook is the largest listed jewellery company in Hong Kong by market capitalization, founded in Guangzhou in 1929 by Mr. Chow Chi Yuen, who later moved to Macau due to the civil war.

Zhou Shengsheng <>

Chow Sang Sang Jewellery was founded in 1934 in Guangzhou, founded by Mr. Zhou Fangpu, with the surname "Zhou" as the head, representing the beginning of Zhou. The name "Shengsheng" represents the continuous life, and later due to the war, the business was relocated to Hong Kong and Macau.

Zhou Dasheng <>

Chow Tai Sang Jewellery was established in 1999 by Chow Chung Man.

Then we can't help but ask, this is not only the surname of these three jewelry brands, but their founders are also surnamed Zhou, so let the author take a deep look at these three founders.

Zhou Zhiyuanis a native of Shunde, Guangzhou; Zhou FangpuHe is a native of Zhanjiang, Guangzhou; Zhou ZongwenHe is a native of Fuqing, Fujian. It can be seen that there should be no connection between these three people.

In addition, in the process of the author's data search, it was also found that "Zhou"Chinese jewelry brands at the beginning of the word also include Saturday Fu, Zhou Tai Jin, Zhou Baifu, Zhou Jinsheng, Zhou Fusheng... But it seems that their founders are not surnamed Zhou, as for why they are so named, everyone must have the answer in their hearts.

Because the first people who were engaged in the jewelry industry were Chaozhou Xiashan people, most of them were surnamed Zhou. The emerging jewelry practitioners are estimated to be influenced by Chow Tai Fook and others, and they are also named after "Zhou XX", which can be regarded as gaining popularity and fame.

It is believed that the founders of the jewelry stores in China are surnamed Zhou, and their store names have the character Zhou, so people have been passed down like this since then.

Chinese jewelry brands such as Chow Tai Fook and Zhou Liufu are not surprising. So what are the main reasons and relationships between the surname Zhou in Chinese jewelry? The main reason is that China's jewelry industry mainly rises in Guangdong, and several of the larger bosses are from the same village, and they all have the same surname Zhou.

The Zhou jewelers are not related by blood, and the reason for "all surnamed Zhou" is pure coincidence + imitation.

These jewelers are not related by blood, and the reason for "all surnamed Zhou" is pure coincidence + imitation. Among these brands, only the founders of Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang and Chow Tai Sang are really surnamed Zhou, the first two were born in Hong Kong and are the originators of Zhou surname jewelry; Zhou Dasheng was born in the mainland.

Chow Tai Fook was founded at the earliest, in 1929, Shunde native Zhou Zhiyuan opened a "Chow Tai Fook Gold Shop" in Guangzhou, but due to the war, not long after the store opened, Zhou Zhiyuan moved to Macau with his family. In the 1950s, Chow Tai Fook became famous in Hong Kong with the "Four Nines" pure gold, but the key figure was a grassroots worker, this legendary story will be more detailed in a moment. At present, Chow Tai Fook is the world's largest pure-play jeweler by market capitalization, with 2,600 stores in mainland China and the largest annual sales in the market.

The founder of Zhou Shengsheng is named Zhou Fangpu, but he has no blood relationship with Zhou Zhiyuan. Coincidentally, also because of the war, Zhou Fangpu and Zhou Zhiyuan moved to Macau in the same year, after which Zhou Fangpu handed over the business to his three sons. Compared with Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang's pace of development has been slower, but he is one step ahead in the matter of listing.

In 1973, Chow Sang Sang became the first listed jewellery company in Hong Kong. At present, there are 606 stores in mainland China.

Chow Tai Sang appeared more than 60 years later than the two predecessors, is it a "sub-brand" of Chow Tai Fook or Chow Sang Sang? After all, the name does sound a bit like the first two big brothers......emmm……The crystallization of love. In fact, the founder of Zhou Dasheng is named Zhou Zongwen, an entrepreneur who grew up in the wave of reform and opening up.

In 1988, he did not follow the trend of "going to the sea to start a business", but chose to work in a jewelry factory as the director of a gem factory, and after understanding the operation of jewelry, he promoted Chow Tai Sang to enter the mainland market in 1992. At present, this "little brother" has 4,011 stores across the country.

Why are there so many Zhou Moumou jewelry?

In fact, it is very easy to understand that the "three brothers of the Zhou family" are "dominant" in the jewelry industry, and in the eyes of many peers, the word "Zhou" simply has its own halo! Whether it's for good luck or some other reason, let's talk about the surname "Zhou" first!

For example-Zhou Jinsheng, Zhou Fusheng, Zhou Baifu, Zhou Dazhou, Zhou Dafa, Zhou Fuzi!

There are coincidences and imitations, but there are many coincidences, because most of the founders of brands have the surname Zhou.

For example, Chow Tai Fook and Chow Sang Sang, both of which were founded in the 30s. One of the founders is called Zhou Zhiyuan, and the other is called Zhou Junlian, both of whom are from Licun, Shunde, Guangdong, and are speculated to be related to each other (some sources say that the two are cousins, but Chow Tai Fook's PR does not admit this).

The Saturday Fu is also a Hong Kong time-honored brand established in 1968, its founder Zhou Yue is also from Guangdong, because of the sixth, its company was named "Saturday Silver Building", and later in 2004, the company was renamed Saturday Fu. The reason is that the number of independent travel to Hong Kong has increased since 04, and in order to increase popularity, the word "Lukfook Jewelry" is taken from another famous jewelry brand "Lukfook Jewelry".

The founder of Zhou Dasheng is also surnamed Zhou, called Zhou Zongwen, a native of Guangdong. In the 90s of the last century, his relatives ran the "Ganglong Foreign Company" and the "Zhou's Heda" company jointly founded the Chow Tai Sheng brand, and the word "Sheng" should be Mo Fu Zhou Shengsheng. In 99, Zhou Zongwen registered the Chow Tai Sheng brand in Shenzhen and established a company.

From another point of view, it also shows that there are many people surnamed Zhou in Guangdong who are engaged in the silver building industry in Hong Kong.

Not all jewelry sellers have the surname Zhou, but at the beginning, after Zhou Shengsheng and Chow Tai Fook became famous, there were many jewelry merchants who wanted to rub traffic. Anyway, it makes consumers feel that the surname Zhou, Hong Kong, = big brand. of this concept.
