This is Liu Zhengyao's third venture after passively leaving Ruixing Coffee. The first two times were in the catering field that he was not familiar with. He successively started two projects: noodle restaurant "interesting noodles" and prefabricated dish "tongue-tip hero". According to his plan, it is necessary to develop into a catering version of "Lucky" in the future: starting with noodle restaurants and prefabricated dishes, absorbing more food and snack brands in the future, and finally making online App.

However, three months after the noodle shop "Fun Noodles" opened, the opening plan began to be suspended on a large scale. After the launch of the prefabricated vegetable entrepreneurship project tongue-tip hero, just 4 months, the number of dealers nationwide store intention to sign up to 6000, but the fate of tongue-tip hero and interesting small face is very similar, but also quickly by dealers spit out: join can not earn money, then six consecutive news of store closure.

After leaving Ruixing for two start-ups, the business was not particularly ideal, and then decided to return to the coffee market and established_Kudi Coffee. Ruixing Coffee has achieved Liuzhengyao's highlight moment on the catering track. There is no doubt about this. When Liuzhengyao team returns to the coffee track, it will attract much attention. Without marketing, Kudi Coffee has already started fire.

Five months have passed since its establishment, and Coody Coffee's first store has finally opened. The first store is not only the first store in a geographical area, but also represents the pioneering nature of a brand. It is reported that in addition to the landing of the first store, Kudi Coffee also announced that in the Qatar World Cup opened on November 21,2022, Kudi Coffee officially became the sponsor of Argentina's national football team in China.

People showed greater interest and expectation in Coody Coffee than in fun noodles and tongue-tip heroes. Can Kudi Coffee become Lu Zhengyao's turnaround work, and can it add another general to the Chinese coffee team? It is worth looking forward to how it will perform in the coffee track in the future.
