About Me

Zhang Hongchao is the chairman of Mixue Group, the world's second biggest seller of freshly-made drinks by annual cups sold after Starbucks. He started a shaved ice shop in 1997 in China with a homemade machine and opened the first Mixue Bingcheng store two years later. Nearly all-franchised, the Mixue Bingcheng chain offers bubble tea, lemonade, coffee and other drinks as well as ice cream at dirt-cheap prices across more than 50,000 stores, including nearly 5,000 overseas. The company went public in a $444 million Hong Kong IPO in March 2025. His younger brother Zhang Hongfu, CEO of the company and also a billionaire, joined Mixue in 2007.
