For the next nearly ten years, he made a living selling freezers and buying student stationery.
Original text: Zong Qinghou when he was young**In 1985, Zong Qinghou began to sell pollen oral liquid for a health care product factory, and this opportunity also allowed him to see the huge potential of the health care product market.
In April 1987, Zong Qinghou contracted the distribution department of the school-run enterprise in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, and started by selling soft drinks, popsicles and stationery paper to earn a penny. In July of the same year, he used the pollen sales proceeds and a bank loan of 50,000 yuan as the original capital to establish Hangzhou Baoling Children's Nutrition Food Factory, processing pollen for Hangzhou Baoling Company, and starting Wahaha's entrepreneurial process.
As soon as Wahaha came out, it became popular all over the country. In 1989, the company's name was changed from "Hangzhou Baoling Children's Nutrition Food Factory" to "Hangzhou Wahaha Nutrition Food Factory".
In 1991, in order to expand the scale of production and meet the market demand, Hangzhou Wahaha Nutrition Food Factory, which has only more than 100 people, merged the old state-owned factory with a plant area of 60,000 square meters and more than 2,000 employees at a cost of more than 8,000 yuan under the matchmaking of Hangzhou City, creating a miracle of "small fish eating big fish".
Since then, Wahaha has launched products such as eight-treasure porridge, very cola, and purified water, which have greatly increased market penetration and become widely popular. In 2012, Zong Qinghou topped the Hurun Global 100 List for the first time, and has since been selected into the Forbes China Rich List for many times.
Today, Wahaha has become one of the largest beverage manufacturers in China, and Zong Qinghou has also become one of China's famous entrepreneurs.
