A parade of Chinese bubble tea makers are lining up for first-time share sales in Hong Kong and the United States. 

At least six companies selling the popular beverage are separately weighing overseas initial public offerings (IPOs). 

Mixue Bingcheng leads the pack of IPO aspirants with 25,000 locations in China and 3,000 overseas. 

The story of Mixue Bingcheng stands as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of the Zhang brothers, who managed to transform a humble roadside stall into a global franchising empire.
