The deceased is like this, and it can't be stopped; Say goodbye to the legend and be immortal. In the past two days, the death of a generation of Zhejiang businessmen Zong Qinghou has aroused the deep remembrance of the business community and Zhejiang businessmen. Nan Cunhui, chairman of the Zhejiang Federation of Industry and Commerce, president of the Zhejiang Entrepreneurs Association, and chairman of Chint Group, wrote a long article
Mr. Zong Qinghou, a generation of legendary Zhejiang businessmen, a representative of outstanding private entrepreneurs in reform and opening up, and the founder of Wahaha, passed away. Many entrepreneur friends and chambers of commerce and associations also called and asked me to convey to Mr. Zong's family on his behalf to express condolences and regret for the death of Mr. Zong.
The deceased is like this, and it can't be stopped; Say goodbye to the legend and be immortal.
He is a practitioner of the "Four Thousand Spirit", and his entrepreneurial history is a microcosm of the tide of China's reform. A pair of cloth shoes have traveled all over the mountains and rivers, after a lot of hardships, starting from a small school-run factory, to entering thousands of households, to the global market, he measured the market map with his feet, poured the business building with sweat, and wrote the entrepreneurial legend with his life's work, making great contributions to the economic and social development of Hangzhou, Zhejiang and even the whole country, and is a model of Zhejiang businessmen who are highly respected.
Mr. is an evergreen tree of "innovation and change", in the wave of the times rushing forward, he started by selling soda and popsicles, and founded the well-known brand "Wahaha" through product innovation, technological innovation and marketing innovation, and created a leading beverage enterprise in China. He once said: "If we want to be a century-old store, we must keep up with the innovation of the times to ensure the longevity of the foundation." His passion for independent innovation and technology research and development has led to the continuous iteration of the product matrix, and the "joint sales" model he created is still far-reaching.
Mr. is a stickler of "serving the country through industry", and has been deeply involved in the beverage industry for decades, insisting on the development of the main business, sticking to the real economy, and interpreting responsibility and responsibility with actions. He once said, "Entrepreneurs not only need to be able to make money and run businesses, but also need a sense of social responsibility, and conscientious wealth is meaningful." "On the list of China's richest man three times, Mr. has his own understanding of wealth and has never spared no effort in social morality. He is enthusiastic about public welfare, donates to education, and always practices "serving the country by industry, and being treated by the society", which demonstrates the entrepreneur's broad-mindedness and feelings for the country.
The Si people are gone, but the spirit lives on. Although my husband and I are in different industries, we are both Zhejiang businessmen and former deputies to the National People's Congress, and we have a lot of intersections and contacts, and we can deeply feel his spiritual outlook of "endless life, inexhaustible innovation, and more than struggle" and the value pursuit of "loving the party and the country, thinking about the source of prosperity, and being enthusiastic about public welfare".
Mr. once said that Wahaha is a proof of his existence in this world. But he left the world far more than a "Wahaha", far more than a legend of outstanding Zhejiang businessmen, but also a precious spiritual wealth, in the larger time and space coordinates, inspire countless entrepreneurs to move forward bravely, inspire Zhejiang businessmen at home and abroad to continue to struggle, but also inspire us to think about the meaning of life.
The sound is like that, and Yide lasts forever! Mr. Eternal, go all the way!
