20VC: How SHEIN Got So Big So Fast: Behind the Scenes at One of the Fastest Growing Companies in History with Donald Tang, Executive Chairman @ SHEIN

If you want your business to thrive on a global scale, you have to become a local community business. In Great Britain, you want to be a UK company. You want to be part of the fabric. You don't want to be some company parachuting in just making money. That's not the trend anymore. You are profitable. You are growing insanely fast. Customers love the products. Why IPO?

We wanted to embrace public diligence. We operate in more than 150 countries. Once you're a public company, transparency is no longer an option. It is a responsibility.

20VC: How SHEIN Got So Big So Fast: Behind the Scenes at One of the Fastest Growing Companies in History with Donald Tang, Executive Chairman @ SHEIN

I was 17. I was love-struck. I came to the United States to cheer as a girl. And I had no place to live. That's the gist of it. So I went to a restaurant to beg for a job. And I succeeded. And I washed the dishes and the bus tables. And I weighed down the tables. But I wasn't very good at it because my English was terrible. But...

I persisted and I continued to climb the ladder to become an assistant manager. So that was my career. It was a pretty good one. It was in Santa Ana and I got shot at. But that trained me to be tough and resilient. But that was one of the early experience or experiences that I had.

20VC: How SHEIN Got So Big So Fast: Behind the Scenes at One of the Fastest Growing Companies in History with Donald Tang, Executive Chairman @ SHEIN

The definition of successful... It's situation dependent or personal. It's very personal. You know, for me, I just wanted to be with a girl I love. That was success. If I can survive and continue on that path, that's great. I never really thought about making money or anything else. How has the definition of success changed for you? Oh, it's the same.

My wife... had a good job. I had a restaurant job. And then after I graduated as a chemical engineer, I couldn't find a job. So therefore, I didn't find a job because I quit my restaurant job. And I interviewed for a job 58 times and it was turning down, turning down every single time. And I knew the reason why now, but at that time it was devastating. What was the reason?

If you actually thought you're better than the person who's interviewing you, it shows. That's a challenging starting point. Right. You know, when you have a chip on your shoulder, that's not a good thing.
