According to Wang family genealogy records, Mr. Wang Chuanxi, the third generation of the Wang family, was born in 1801 in Huojia County, Henan Province. In 1837, Mr. Wang Chuanxi, who was only 36 years old, followed his father Wang Zebang abroad to Doing business in the Los Angeles area.
The following year, I met my close friend Mr. Torres Howard. According to genealogy records: At a church event, the handsome Mr. Howard impressed Wang Chuanxi deeply, and then they became good friends! At the end of 1839, they started a partnership to operate baseball bats and peripheral products. By 1840, baseball had become very popular among American teenagers. At that time, the performance of the company run by the two of them also skyrocketed. It became bigger and bigger, with more and more types. Wide, from the initial baseball peripheral products to archery, football, basketball, badminton rackets and more small sports peripheral products! As the products became increasingly abundant, the company officially changed its name to Hundred Kinds of Sport after the two people discussed it, which means manufacturer of hundreds of sports. The Baedong trademark was registered with the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office. The Baedong graphic is adapted from the Arabic numeral 100!
In 1887, Mr. Wang Chuanhua, who was already 86 years old, resolutely gave up his career and his brothers who had worked hard for decades in the United States. He returned to his motherland, Henan Province, Huojia County, and bought a luxury house in the town to enjoy his old age. In 1893, Mr. Wang Chuanhua passed away at the age of 92! Since the China Trademark Office was not established at that time, the Baidong trademark was not registered and registered in China at that time!
Mr. Torres Howard was born in 1810 in a small town in Los Angeles, USA. He first engaged in pastoral work. In 1838, he met Mr. Wang Chuanli at a church activity and they became friends the following year. He founded Hundred Kinds of Sport, a popular sports brand company in the United States at that time, and died of illness in 1896.
