In today’s episode, we got hungry and thirsty just listening to our guest. Jean-Yves Lu, Founder and CEO of Epermarket, joined us to talk about what it really takes to feed one of the world’s biggest cities.

Jean-Yves shares how a simple concern for food safety turned into a thriving business that now serves thousands of families every day. He explains how he built Epermarket’s own logistics system to keep products fresh across cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen, and why he believes quality and trust still matter in a market dominated by giants like Alibaba.
