At 10:30 a.m. on February 25, business magnate Zong Qinghou sadly passed away in Hangzhou, and Wahaha Group later confirmed the sad news two hours later.
From the start-up period at the age of 42 to the establishment of a huge family business worth 50 billion today, Zong Qinghou's legendary life can be called a vivid business epic.
The legendary Zong Qinghou suddenly came to an end at the age of 79 and handed over the Wahaha empire worth 50 billion to his daughter Zong Fuli. After the departure of this giant, where will the commercial giant ship Wahaha go, and how will it move forward in the future?
After Zong Qing, his daily life is like a simple picture: the white shirt and cloth shoes outline the majesty in the ordinary, and the kind smile narrows the distance with the public.
At Wahaha, he leads by example, with light meals and light meals, and the pipe is his unique time companion, marking the clock at 7 o'clock every day and appearing on time on the company's stage.
Known as a model father and an outstanding entrepreneur, this is the endless praise of many partners and daughters Zong Fuli for Zong Qinghou. In her eyes, the importance of these three roles is difficult to weigh.
As the leader of the enterprise, Zong Qinghou insisted: "Employees are never dismissed easily, as long as they are dutiful, why should they be fired?" There is a gap in ability, but this does not mean that people with weak ability are doomed to be unemployed. ”
In the Wahaha family, employees over the age of 45 are given special protection, and this humanistic principle has almost become the cornerstone of the corporate culture. ”
Zong Qinghou emphasized that as an entrepreneur, you should take the well-being of employees to heart and pay attention to their personal lives, because only employees"Small home"Comfortable, they can be fully engaged in their work, without worries.
He firmly believes"Promote everyone's development with the unity of a small family, and ultimately give back to the society and serve the country"ideas.
Over the years, Wahaha has adhered to the people-oriented principle, made every effort to build a warm home for employees, invested in the construction of housing projects and affordable housing, all-inclusive water and electricity, and more housing subsidies to help live and work in peace and contentment.
Zongzong Qinghou is even more set an example, the annual consumption is frugal to less than 50,000 yuan, he is approachable, and he only wears the company's ** and cloth shoes every day, and the electronic watch worth about 500 yuan is his work of mind obtained in his activities.
When traveling, he did it himself, took the high-speed rail, did not put on a stand, and his low-key and simple image was impressive.
Zong Qinghou's life is simple and simple, which is in stark contrast to the image of the CEO with a net worth of tens of billions. When he was elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress, his low-key and pragmatic spirit was embodied in the motions that were very sentimental for the people's livelihood, and each of them was closely related to reality and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Zong Qinghou has repeatedly proposed raising the IIT threshold, and his concerns are clear, covering the cornerstone of employment stability, future investment in education, the rural revitalization (three rural) strategy, and the national health protection system.
When Zong Qinghou's figure as a deputy to the National People's Congress became the focus of heated discussions, people were surprised to find that this outstanding entrepreneur rarely had other dazzling titles. has been the richest man many times, but in the public eye, he has always kept a low profile, and his private life is innocent and scandal-free.
What we are familiar with is the striking resemblance between him and his daughter Zong Fuli, as if it is a continuation of his business wisdom in daily life.
As a father, Zong Qinghou shows great love and understanding for his daughter, no matter how unique his daughter's dream is, he will stand firmly behind her and give unconditional support.
The father and daughter who attended together, although their facial contours were similar, each smile had their own characteristics, like warmth and independence in a mirror, showing their parent-child tacit understanding and personality.
Although it is rare to see Zong Qinghou laughing, the young Zong Fuli has shown unusual determination and determination. With years of experience, she is more confident and decisive.
Zong Qinghou firmly believes that young people need practical experience, and he is willing to be their backing, support them to move forward, and give correction and guidance when necessary, which is his role as a mentor to ensure that they always stay on the right track.
The father entrusted his daughter with trust, personally dressed her in battle, and personally escorted her. Behind this is Zong Qinghou's long-term selfless dedication and persistence. The original plan was for the father and daughter to go further side by side, but the news of Zong Qinghou's unfeeling came unexpectedly.
According to people familiar with the matter, although he did not enjoy expensive tobacco, he has always been accustomed to cigarettes for many years, with two packs a day.
Years of small love have quietly shaped his health trajectory. Although he had successfully quit smoking, he was unable to completely get rid of the entanglement of the disease. On February 26, official data showed that the baton of Zong Qinghou had been passed to Zong Fuli, and she officially became the new chairman of Wahaha.
After Zong Fuli independently leads the banner of Wahaha, how will her fearlessness and determination lead the new course?The solid support of her stepparents and the influence of senior leaders are not there, and Zong Fuli, a strong woman born in the 80s, has proved with practical actions that she is the one who dares to challenge and is not afraid of criticism"The Iron Fist Queen"。
She has resisted pressure to replace her spokesperson, and despite the discussion, she has shown her courage in the face of doubt. How will she write a new chapter in Wahaha?
With the changing times, Zong Fuli is facing new challenges, her father has passed away, and she is about to lead the business giant ship Wahaha alone. We look forward to her taking over this important responsibility with firm belief and leading this new team after the loss of Zong Qinghou to regain its vigor and write a new glorious chapter.
Let us pray for her with confidence.
