news recommendation

Jacky Cheung’s concert broke out! On March 3, Zhong Shanyuan, chairperson of Nongfu Spring, sent a message to mourn Zong Lao, and responded to online rumors such as "The first entrepreneurial income came from Wahaha" and "I was fired for rushing goods".

The original text is as follows:

Today is the first day after Zong Lao’s "first seven". Zong Lao has always been an entrepreneur I respect. He and I are also teachers and friends, and of course, competitors. When I learned that Zong Lao was seriously ill a few days ago, I immediately asked someone to visit him, but by then Zong Lao was already inconvenienced to see the guests and regretted that he could not make the trip. After Zong Lao passed away, I went to the funeral hall to pay tribute, lay a wreath, and express my condolences to Zong Lao’s family.

Old Zong hated online violence when he was alive. Unexpectedly, when Old Zong passed away, there was a lot of slander against me and Nongfu Spring on the Internet, which was by no means what Old Zong was happy to see. As a party who was accidentally involved in the whirlpool of events, it is necessary for me to clarify with a few memorable past events of Old Zong’s life.

I officially quit my job as a reporter for Zhejiang Daily in February 1988 and went into business in the sea. I have run newspapers and planted mushrooms without success. But during my business venture in Hainan, I found that real estate in Hainan was just emerging around 1990, and Hainan did not have the ability to process curtain fabrics. So I established Dacheng Curtain Company in Hainan, shipped curtain fabrics produced in Hangzhou to Hainan for sale, and gradually developed the curtain business to Wangfujing and Yansha general merchandise in Beijing. Therefore, the cloth business is the first pot of gold for my business, rather than the online rumor that "the first entrepreneurial income came from Wahaha".

In 1991, after being introduced by a former colleague, I was fortunate enough to visit Zong Lao at the headquarters of Wahaha, Qingtai Street, Hangzhou. As a sign of respect, I specially selected two books as a meeting gift for Zong Lao. I remember one was "The Limits of Growth" and the other was "Theory Z". Later, Zong Lao invited me to visit the cannery he had just acquired, which was a large state-owned factory with more than 2,200 people. I saw that professional canning equipment was idle, and I remembered the canned eight-treasure porridge that was popular in some parts of South East Asia at that time. I told Zong Lao about this idea. Later, I asked my cousin to bring back six cans of local eight-treasure porridge products from Singapore and deliver them to Zong’s hometown.

Zong Lao was very happy and felt that there was a market for my suggestion. Later, he invested in R & D and developed and produced the well-known Wahaha Nutritional Eight Treasures Porridge, and suggested that I set up Wahaha offices in Guangxi and Hainan to sell Wahaha Children’s Nutritional Oral Liquid. I happily agreed. Unfortunately, the consumer demand in Hainan and Guangxi markets did not meet expectations at that time, and I ran all over the market but had difficulty selling the product. After that, several trading companies came to Hainan to ask me to buy goods, so I was able to clear the goods. Later, I learned that there is a market for children’s nutritional oral liquid in Guangdong.

Many years later, at a sales meeting at Nongfu Spring, I joked that the Wahaha we didn’t sell in Hainan back then was probably sold to Guangdong, and if it were now, it would be considered a flush. Unexpectedly, a casual joke at the time has now become a crime of my "ingratitude". I have never received a salary at Wahaha, let alone been fired for flushing.

In the early days of the development of the market economy, all kinds of management were very extensive, and modern sales concepts such as channel management and stocking were impossible to talk about at that time. It is ironic to look at the problems of the year from a current perspective.

After 2000, the dispute over natural water and pure water was raging. As the two "protagonists" of the dispute, Wahaha and Nongfu Spring clarified their respective positions and product propositions in the dispute, and both achieved certain results in the follow-up. Since then, we have litigated with each other, but in the end, Zong Lao and I shook hands and made peace under the witness of the main leaders of Hangzhou at that time. To this day, I still insist that the mineral elements in water are essential to human health, which is why I insist on producing natural water. However, my respect for Zong Lao’s entrepreneurial spirit has never wavered. I have always stated on various occasions that Zong Lao is the representative of entrepreneurs I respect.

The above two or three things with Zong Lao are not only a small story worth remembering, but also a lot of spiritual wealth. I also hope that when the majority of netizens express their remembrance for Zong Lao, they will not be led by individual self-media or big Vs. No matter Wahaha or Nongfu Spring, they always insist on the same thing: producing good products for the common people.

Once again expressing my thoughts of Zong Lao!

In Hangzhou

Earlier, Nongfu Spring Vice President Dr. Zhou Li Moments posted a post in response to the online "storm of holding’Wahaha ‘and stepping on’Nongfu Spring’".

Zhou Li said that Mr. Zong Qinghou was in his seventh year today, and maybe the old man didn’t expect that his death would be used by some so-called "melon eaters" to attack another company in the same city and become a hot topic of public opinion. The two companies were in the same city, and although they competed in the early years, they even competed openly against Bo in court under the legal framework.

The incident was reported and rushed to Weibo’s trending topic list.

Mr. Zong Qinghou was in his seventh year today, and perhaps the old man did not expect that his death would be used by some so-called "melon eaters" to attack another company in the same city, and became a hot topic of public opinion. The two companies were located in the same city, and although they competed in the early years, they even competed openly against Bo in court under the legal framework.

During the debate, the same group ** media will be invited to hold a press conference to discuss their respective views. After 2000, due to differences in product structure and market positioning, the competition with Wahaha has been basically not discussed in the business topic ** farmers. In 2013, when farmers and the ******* Times were hard-hitting standards, someone went to Mr. Zong to instigate. Mr. Zong expressed his attitude by saying "that someone is deliberately engaging in farmers". On the second day ** the ****** Festival in 2014, I also accompanied Mr. Zhong to visit Mr. Zong who had already started work. At that time, I also lamented that Mr. Zong’s diligence was unmatched.

At the beginning of February this year, when I heard that Mr. Zong was admitted to the hospital for treatment, Boss Zhong’s first reaction was "I’m going to visit him". It was because the situation at that time no longer allowed him to visit. On February 25th, I was shocked to hear the news of Mr. Zong’s death. Boss Zhong sent Moments to lament that several senior entrepreneurs in Zhejiang were too hard to enjoy a long life. At noon on the 27th, I went to Wahaha Xiasha Base with Mr. Zhong to offer condolences. Mr. Zhong sent condolences to Zong Fuli and Shi Youzhen, and also mentioned to Shi Youzhen that he had visited her house that year. On the way back, Mr. Zhong also recalled that Wahaha had just acquired the Hangzhou cannery at that time, and he asked someone to buy samples of six cans of eight-treasure porridge from Singapore. He suggested that Mr. Zong use the equipment of the cannery to produce eight-treasure porridge. At the memorial meeting of Mr. Zong at 10 o’clock on the 28th, Mr. Zhong posted his condolences online, telling the staff that "Mr. Zong Qinghou and I have achieved each other, and we are also teachers and friends." There are many emotions. Zhejiang businesspeople do not have the scene of eating and drinking together, but in fact they can help each other in case of trouble. During the debate between the farmer and the Beijing Times in 2013, Mr. Lu Guanqiu and Mr. Song Weiping both sent letters of solidarity.

Chief Zong rode the crane and went to pay his condolences and send wreaths. It was a basic etiquette, and there was nothing worth hyping about in the first place. It was incredible that some people did not know what kind of interests they were motivated by or what kind of dark psychology they had the heart to use this topic to continue to hype and evolve into personal attacks. Previously, he had been silent, and he really did not want to argue about this during Mr. Zong Qinghou’s funeral.

People usually prefer to drink

Wahaha or Nongfu Spring?
