Meng Minwei is most talked about bringing rice cookers into Hong Kong. At first, he promoted rice cookers to Hong Kong people, but no one cared. At that time, the market was monopolized by European and American brands, but he did not give up. He went door to door and even advertised in newspapers. Eventually, rice cookers were accepted by Hong Kong people and became famous internationally. At that time, Meng Minwei not only changed the "cooking" mode of Hong Kong people, but also subverted the design of rice cookers. People in China like to steam R when cooking, but uncovering the lid will affect the texture of rice, so Meng Minwei suggested that Panasonic should make a lid with glass to let users know whether the rice is cooked or not. According to the data of Shun Hing Group, the import volume of Lesheng rice cookers was only 1 in 196, and it has surged to about 9, in 1965. The rice cookers sold by Shun Hing account for 1.5% of the total export of Panasonic rice cookers. At present, rice cookers have become a necessity for Hong Kong people.
