Chow Chi-yuen

Chow Chi-yuen (Chinese: 周至元; Jyutping: zau1 zi3 jyun4; pinyin: Zhōu Zhìyuán; 1900–1971) was a Hong Kong entrepreneur and the founder of Chow Tai Fook.

He was the father-in-law of Cheng Yu-tung (鄭裕彤), chairman of New World Development, and was born in Shunde, Guangdong, China.

In 1931, the shop was relocated to Macau during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

In 1946, Chow established the first branch in Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong.

Cheng expanded Chow Tai Fook's business to jewellery retailing in 1960.
