Timeline

1971

Đặng Lê Nguyên Vũ (born February 10, 1971), better known as Chairman Vu, is a Vietnamese entrepreneur and businessman.

He is the co-founder (along with former spouse Lê Hoàng Diệp Thảo), president and general director of Trung Nguyên Group.

He has been described by National Geographic and Forbes as "Zero to Hero", "Vietnam Coffee King" and "Philosopher-King".

He is also an activist and philanthropist.

Vũ was born on 10 February 1971 in Nha Trang, Khánh Hoà, into a poor peasant family.

1979

In 1979, his family moved to M'Đrăk District, central western Vietnam province of Dak Lak.

1990

In 1990, he went to Tay Nguyen University (literally 'Western Highland' University).

During that time, he began to study and research coffee, eventually consulting with his future spouse Thảo, a post office information service worker with deep knowledge of the industry.

1996

In 1996, he and Thảo co-founded the Trung Nguyen Coffee Company in the city of Buon Ma Thuot.

1998

In 1998, Trung Nguyen opened its first cafe space in Phu Nhuan district, Ho Chi Minh City, expanding its business operation under a franchising model that was "revolutionary at the time".

Since that time, several coffee house franchises have launched nationwide.

2003

From 2003, due to the rapid development of its instant coffee brand G7, Trung Nguyen led Vietnam's coffee market for around a decade.

G7 was pronounced the most preferred instant coffee product over Nestlé in a 2003 blind test, which is often cited as "an example of 'David' against 'Goliath'",

in which participants voted in high numbers for the G7 product as recorded by the press and observers.

Nielsen data showed the product had become the 'top trending brand in the local 3-in-1 coffee market segment in 2003–2012 in terms of market-share, revenue, and sales volume'.

2011

On 27 April 2011, the brandname "Trung Nguyen Coffee" appeared in the Financial Times as a major case study on a successful enterprise model in which the company was voted as one of the most prevailing organizations.

2012

In that year, Trung Nguyen's G7 coffee took the largest slice of the domestic market, with a "38 per cent share for 9 years", according to an AC Nielsen 2012 survey.

In August 2012, Forbes called Vu 'Vietnam's Coffee King'.

From that time onward he was frequently referred to as the 'King of Coffee' by the press.

In October 2012, he was named 'Pioneer of the Year' in a public vote by VNExpress readers.

In 2012, Dang was honoured as 'Coffee King', officially, by National Geographic.

In August 2012, Forbes magazine portrayed him as 'Vietnam coffee king', and described him as a figure of "Zero to Hero".

Since then, local and world press and society has mentioned him as the Coffee King.

2013

In March 2013, he was granted the title of 'Forever worthy of the descendants of Lạc Hồng' in 'The Divine Root 2014' program held by the National Assembly's Committee for Culture and Education, the Club of Patriotic Businesses of Vietnam, and the Society of Historical Science of Vietnam.

Dang is widely known for his spiritual beliefs.

He is the founder of his own transcendental "Doctrine of Coffee" whereby he has developed a spiritual philosophy and zen practice named 'Coffeeism' (Coffee Tao or Coffee Ceremony), including 'Coffee Zen'.

It is described as an 'all-comprehensive, all-dimensional, all-global', 'holofractal' approach to healing, success, fortune, well-being and enlightenment; in which "Coffee is the 'Treasure of Earth and Heaven', Heritage of Humankind and Solution to the Future".

Following Vu's first 49-day meditation session in 2013, his marital relationship with Lê Hoàng Diệp Thảo unraveled and the pair separated, his wife concerned that Vu had been mentally damaged by the meditation experience.

As both husband and wife were heavily involved in the Trung Nguyen business, their breakup had a strongly negative impact on the company, with the firm's export business suffering from neglect in particular.

2014

In late 2014, Dang and 18 fellow men went on a 49-day fasting and Zen journey.

He has been called "frank but pretty unfriendly" in some remarks concerning Starbucks coffee.

Beside his success in the coffee business, he also has a passion for cars.

His car collection, the biggest in Vietnam, has now grown close to 100 cars, valued at more than 1 trillion VND (approx. 40.31 million US Dollars).

He also owns the biggest collection of Ferraris in the country, with 7 cars.

Notable cars in his collection include: Bugatti Veyron (only one in the country), McLaren Senna, Porsche 918 Spyder, Toyota GR Supra, Ford GT, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition, Aston Martin DBX707 among many other names.

In 2014, Thảo was stripped of her management rights and barred access to the company despite still holding legal ownership rights to the firm.

The pair entered into lengthy divorce proceedings that became a notable scandal in the Vietnamese press.

The divorce remained unsettled until a 2021 final court ruling granted Vu the rights to retain management of Trung Nguyen Group.

2015

In 2015, Thảo moved to “preserve the Trung Nguyen brand” and continue her efforts to distribute Vietnamese coffee products globally through the establishment of TNI King Coffee, which effectively competes with Trung Nguyen.

While King Coffee has expanded its distribution to more than 120 countries, Trung Nguyen's profit margins have declined under Vu's independent management.
