The owner of Jie Rong, which has a history of 85 years, is one of the established families in Hong Kong, and many of its members are active in the catering industry in Hong Kong, especially in the coffee industry in Hong Kong. All this will start with Huang Datang, the grandfather of Jie Rong's current chairman, Huang Qiao, who is known as the "king of coffee."

It is understood that Huangqiao used to operate banks and other businesses in the mainland, but it was difficult to get to Hong Kong during the war, so it first set up a Jierong pavilion on Queen Victoria Street in Central. At that time, coffee was an upper-class luxury consumer goods and could only be drunk in hotels, but Huangqiao and his brothers successively founded tea restaurants such as Kowloon Ice House, Coffee House, Lan Xiang Room, Lan Xiang Pavilion and Rong Fang. Among them, the "Haian Ice Room" (now known as Haian Coffee) located next to Xigang City still stands today.

The family founded the first generation of tea restaurants.

Li Yuankang, chairman of Cuihua (1314), also worked as a "takeout boy" in Haian when he was young. The Wong brothers are the founders of the first generation of cafes in Hong Kong.

Huang Chunbo, the fourth younger brother of Huangqiao, founded Rongyang Coffee in 1929, which is known to everyone in the coffee industry. Its second-generation boss, the late "coffee yellow" yellow birch, was the first person in Hong Kong to introduce 100% wild civet coffee (commonly known as Kopi Luwak). Among the more than a dozen children in Huangqiao, what the public knows better is his son, Huang Jiahe, president of the Catering Association.
