"Enterprises must have the ability to adapt to the development of the times. "Zong Qinghou practiced and kept running on the road of entrepreneurship and innovation, and was a model for a generation of Zhejiang and Hangzhou businessmen. He said that only by never stopping can enterprises maintain strong motivation and meet people's yearning for a better life.
Through his new positions and new identities during his lifetime, we can get a glimpse of the business wisdom of this meritorious Hangzhou businessman who adheres to his life: live to old age and learn from old age.
A new track for corner overtaking: smart manufacturing.
Looking at Tianyancha and other corporate information, I found that Zong Qinghou had a company employment information in 2019. Tianyancha information shows: Zhejiang Wahaha Intelligent Robot was established in 2019, a member of Hangzhou Wahaha Group, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and is an enterprise mainly engaged in science and technology promotion and application services. The registered capital of the enterprise is 40 million yuan, which exceeds 96% of its counterparts in Zhejiang Province. Zong Qinghou became the chairman of the board.
The main business is the research and development, manufacturing and sales of intelligent robots, machinery and equipment and parts; Development and technical services of grinding and polishing intelligent technology.
This year, Zong Qinghou is 74 years old, but he always has the courage to seize opportunities and a keen sense of the market.
Intelligent manufacturing is an area that Zong Qinghou has been focusing on, and Wahaha's layout in this area can be traced back to the last century.
In the 90s of the last century, Wahaha introduced foreign automatic production lines and began to make molds and automation equipment by itself; In 1999, Wahaha Precision Machinery was established, and has always focused on the research and development of production lines and equipment in the food and beverage industry; In 2001, Wahaha Electromechanical Research Institute was established, and then focused on intelligent technology and began to develop energy-saving motors and industrial robots.
In 2015, Zong Qinghou began to look for a new way for Wahaha to expand the market and rejuvenate itself. In addition to insisting on the development of new beverage categories, Wahaha has invested a considerable part of its energy in the research and development of industrial robots and intelligent equipment.
In recent years, Wahaha has used digital to empower the real economy and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries. Wahaha's new intelligent beverage production base project in Wencheng County, Zhejiang Province has become the most advanced benchmark for intelligent beverage production in China, and has recently been selected as the "Future Factory of Zhejiang Province in 2023".
At present, the development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, and only by creating a strong independent innovation ability and high-tech level can we win the initiative and the right to speak in development, overtake in corners, break the monopoly of foreign technology, and make our country truly strong. "Zong Qinghou has always set his sights on the future, and invested in the new track that helps the innovation and development of physical enterprises and overtaking in corners.
A new identity on the hot search: ** qualifications.
In July 2021, the low-key Zong Qinghou was on the hot search again.
This year, at the age of 76, he obtained the first professional qualification certificate, which sparked heated discussions in the market. Netizens exclaimed: "China's richest man" is so inspirational.
According to public information, on July 9, 2021, Zhejiang Wahaha Venture Capital completed the filing in the ** Industry Association, and a total of 7 people in the company have the qualifications to practice, of which Zong Qinghou's certificate was obtained on July 12 of the same year.
According to the analysis of industry insiders, Zong Qinghou's way to obtain the first qualification is "qualification recognition", although it is not obtained by participating in the first qualification examination, but it also means that Zong Qinghou's investment experience is enough to obtain the first qualification.
This move also made the follow-up actions of Wahaha Venture Capital attract market attention.
To invest efficiently, you can't just rush to see what you make money, and wait for the heat to go down and then disperse. This is Zong Qinghou's simple investment philosophy.
And at the age when most of his peers decided to "lie flat", he insisted on "living to learn". From trying cross-border marketing, making ice cream, opening a milk tea shop, settling in station B, and joining hands with blind boxes, to learning to @daughter on Weibo, entering the live broadcast room and interacting with netizens. It has always maintained a strong curiosity and execution, and constantly refreshed the public's cognition.
As an entrepreneur, I have a social responsibility. This responsibility, for employees, consumers, and people in all links of the product chain, makes me unable to stop. In this climate of coexistence of difficulties and challenges, Zong Qinghou verified the phrase "can't stop" with his own actions, which is a spiritual gift and spiritual guidance for all Hangzhou businessmen.
