After the death of Zong Qinghou, the founder and chairman of Wahaha Group, many well-known entrepreneurs expressed their condolences to this business legend who lived and fought endlessly.
At the end of the wind, Zong Qinghou seized the opportunity of the times, started from an ordinary worker, and quickly created a food and beverage empire like Wahaha. His story has inspired countless entrepreneurs and young people.
Alibaba founder Ma Yun personally wrote the elegiac couplet: "It's not too late to fight forty years in life, the spirit of a pioneer; Entrepreneurship is difficult to seek innovation all night, and the true character of entrepreneurs. ”
Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360, posted on Weibo**, he said in his recollections, "I don't have much personal relationship with Mr. Zong Qinghou, Mr. Zong is my predecessor, when I was a young student, Wahaha was already famous." I have had the privilege of meeting Mr. Zong at many conferences and forums, and I have sat at the round table with him, especially at some annual meetings of Chinese entrepreneurs, and I have the impression that Mr. Zong is not very talkative, approachable, and dressed very plainly, like a simple 'uncle next door'."
Lei Jun, the founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, twice posted a message to recall the "legend of a generation" Zong Qinghou.
The Si people have passed away, but the spirit lives on. I hope that Mr. Zong's spirit can continue to encourage more entrepreneurs in China to contribute more to the prosperity of society.
