Recently, in an interview with Xinhua News Agency's "Amplify" program, Wang Ning, the founder of POP MART, stated that what sets POP MART apart from other companies is its culture of refusal. He emphasized that POP MART is a company that says "no," and this happens daily. Should they open more stores? No. Should they develop more theme parks? No. Should they engage in various collaborations? No. The number of times the company says "no" each day far exceeds the number of times it says "yes."
When asked why the company says "no" so frequently, Wang Ning explained that their business is fundamentally about restraint. He described it as a matter of unified mission, vision, and values. The goal is not for the team to simply produce a large quantity of work as if completing assignments; instead, even the smallest project or design should be treated as a masterpiece, which he believes is critically important.
