The lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival has just passed, and there is a sad news. Zong Qinghou, the founder of the Wahaha brand, passed away due to cancer, and now only his only daughter Zong Fuli is left to support the entire group.
Zong Qinghou is an outstanding entrepreneur, and his daughter Zong Fuli is also impressive. Although Zong Qinghou's sudden death makes everyone feel very sorry, his daughter Zong Fuli will continue to lead Wahaha Group to a more brilliant future.
Zong Qinghou foresaw the future, and handed over the affairs of the group to his daughter a few years ago, and gradually retired. Before the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon, Zong Qinghou was admitted to the hospital**. Although the daughter took more time to spend with her father, Zong Qinghou still failed to overcome the illness and eventually passed away.
Zong Qinghou's death sparked heated discussions, once again focusing on Wahaha and Zong Fuli. As the only daughter of Zong Qinghou, Zong Fuli has been cultivated as a ** person since she was a child, and her excellent ability has been recognized.
After graduating from university, Zong joined Wahaha's management, and after taking over as president of Hongsheng Beverage Group, she led the company to achieve rapid business growth.
Her success also made her father Zong Qinghou proud, and even said in an interview that Zong Fuli had surpassed herself.
Zong Fuli has been in an important position in Wahaha Group for many years, and now Zong Qinghou's sudden death makes Zong Fuli need to bear all the responsibilities of the group alone. At the same time, Zong Fuli's personal life has also attracted much attention.
For a long time, "single" has been Zong Fuli's most representative label.
Zong Fuli has made it clear in many interviews that her top priority is to run the company better, and other things are not considered. After Zong Qinghou's sudden death, some people began to speculate that his biggest regret was not being able to see his daughter find someone who could take care of her.
It is said that Zong Fuli has married on the other side of the ocean, and is happy to have a pair of children, one of whom is a boy and the other is a girl, but her other half is a mystery.
Zong Qinghou once publicly stated that he had two criteria for finding a son-in-law: one was to be capable, and the other was to be good to his daughter Zong Fuli. This news has spread widely in society.
No one knows whether Zong Fuli is married or not, but she is definitely a powerful woman. Since coming to the paradise of learning, she has been working steadily step by step, sharpening her qualities and making up for her shortcomings.
We believe that she will lead Wahaha to a new peak.
The death of Zong Qinghou has brought Wahaha, a veteran enterprise, to the attention of the public again. Zong Qinghou's life is full of legends, and his story inspires everyone who chases their dreams.
Although Zong Qinghou was born into a prominent family, he started from scratch and created today's Wahaha Empire with his own efforts.
After 1949, the financial situation of Zong Qinghou's family began to fall into trouble. His father lost his job, and the burden of the family fell on his mother's shoulders.
However, his mother was only an elementary school teacher, and in those days, teachers were paid a meagre salary. Despite the lack of living materials and the poverty of his family, Zong Qinghou's parents still did their best to educate him.
Due to the poverty of his family, Zong Qinghou had to drop out of school at the age of 17 to relieve his mother's financial pressure. He began to work as a small trader, moving from city to city, doing manual labor, and living a very difficult life.
However, this experience did not dampen his thirst for knowledge, but instead fueled his desire to learn. In his heart, knowledge is the only way for him to change his fate.
After 15 years of wandering, Zong Qinghou returned to Hangzhou. At that time, his mother was no longer suitable for the job of a teacher, so Zong Qinghou took over the whip of his mother.
However, due to his low level of education, he did not last long in the teaching position before being transferred to the primary school. Despite this, Zong Qinghou was not satisfied with being a worker for the rest of his life, and he decided to change his fate.
So, in 1981, he began to accumulate savings and chose Hangzhou Workers' Amateur University to further study and further management knowledge.
In 1987, Zong Qinghou ushered in a watershed in his life. The Hangzhou Bureau of Culture and Education implements the contracted operation of school-run enterprises and openly selects powerful dealers. Zong Qinghou smelled a business opportunity, decisively recommended himself, and with the tacit cooperation with two retired teachers, he successfully grasped this opportunity and began his road of wealth accumulation.
The 42-year-old Zong Qinghou has already threatened to contract this matter, but the funds he has on hand are actually borrowed from others, and if he fails, he will face huge losses.
However, he still did not hesitate to sign the agreement and firmly seized the opportunity. He made his first pot of gold by selling snacks and non-staple foods. After that, Zong Qinghou borrowed another 50,000 yuan to create a children's nutrition food factory to produce and process "pollen oral liquid".
When Zong Qinghou was walking the streets and alleys to sell, he noticed a common problem - child malnutrition. Despite the high demand, there is no corresponding supply in the market.
Therefore, Zong Qinghou saw a business opportunity, he found Professor Zhu Shoumin, and jointly developed China's first nutrient solution designed for children.
Since its launch, sales have soared due to its tangible improvement in child malnutrition. As a result, the company founded by Zong Qinghou was officially renamed Wahaha.
Thanks to his continuous efforts, the company has grown from a small house with only three employees to pedal a tricycle through the streets to a large factory with 130 employees.
Core idea: The company founded by Zong Qinghou was renamed Wahaha because of the successful sales of nutrient solution, and with the efforts of Zong Qinghou, the company has grown from small to large, and the number of employees has grown from small to large.
In order to let Wahaha go nationwide, Zong Qinghou decided to place advertisements on TV, a deep advertising slogan, so that all families with only one child remembered Wahaha.
In 1991, Wahaha's sales reached an astonishing 400 million yuan. From a small supply and marketing cooperative with only three people to an industry leader with more than 30,000 employees, Zong Qinghou has gone through many difficulties along the way and has also seized the tide of the times.
Zong Qinghou single-handedly founded Wahaha, which he regarded as his own child and devoted a lot of effort. Even in his advanced age, he insisted on going to work on time every day, did not leave work until 11 p.m., and even often lived in the office to work overtime.
Zong Qinghou is not only a powerful tycoon, but his contributions also have a profound impact on the country.
Zong Fuli once revealed that her father, Zong Qinghou, was a person who loved the motherland deeply, and he did not hesitate to go to the field for investment invitations in remote areas. When the country faced a major crisis, Zong Qinghou always stood up and generously supported the affected areas.
When answering reporters proudly about her father's role in Wahaha, Zong Fuli said that her father is like a god-like being, who can show outstanding talents at all times and everything, and must obtain his permission for any decision.
The patriotic entrepreneur was plagued by immigration issues. Rumor has it that he and his family have obtained U.S. citizenship and immigrated. In an interview, Zong Qinghou clarified this.
He made it clear that he was not a holder of foreign nationality and did not have any foreign nationality. During his time in the United States, he opened a canning factory in the United States to facilitate contact and communication.
However, with Zong Fuli's return to China and the factory's economic performance declining, he canceled the Luka. Such an entrepreneur who loves the motherland deeply, and is also a deputy to the National People's Congress, will never give up everything he has in China and choose to become a holder of foreign nationality.
Zong Qinghou, an entrepreneur who started his business in the turbulent era and is now worth tens of billions of dollars. Despite his great success, he never forgot his mission to the country and always committed himself to contributing to the country.
Zong Fuli, as the daughter of a new generation of entrepreneurs, not only inherited her father's excellent tradition, but also showed the spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement. Due to her parents' busy work, she has been accustomed to independence since she was a child, and even often eats alone in the company canteen to take care of her own life.
From the immature hands holding the pen in elementary school to the steady progress in the attention of Wahaha executives, Zong Fuli has always had a firm heart. When she was in junior high school, she bravely proposed to study in the United States alone, and her parents' approval and support strengthened her determination.
In the days of drifting across the ocean, she continued to sharpen herself and make herself more independent and confident. After graduating from university, Zong Fuli returned to her homeland with her overseas experience and knowledge, joined the management of Wahaha, and started from the grassroots level step by step, and was gradually promoted to general manager and other positions.
Her story tells us that as long as we have dreams, courage, and perseverance, we can realize our life values.
Zong Fuli's study and experience at the grassroots level allowed her to find her own management style and make her more diligent and hardworking. She always arrives at the base at the very beginning and is the last to leave.
After the tempering of the grassroots, she took over Hongsheng Beverage Group in 2007 and reached a tacit agreement with her father not to rely on or ask for help. Under the leadership of Zong Fuli, Hongsheng Group has developed rapidly.
After successfully steering Hongsheng Group on the right track, Zong Fuli began to try to work in the top management of Wahaha Group. After she took over as head of the public relations department, her first action made everyone fall through the glasses: she decisively replaced Wang Leehom, a high-profile spokesperson who has worked with Wahaha for many years, a move that caused dissatisfaction among Wang Leehom's fans.
In a subsequent interview, Zong Fuli bluntly said that Leehom Wang's age has made people feel aesthetic fatigue.
Although Zong Fuli's remarks caused huge controversy, a few years later, Leehom Wang's scandal was **, making her remarks known as "prescient". However, no matter how strong she behaves on the outside, she is still the little girl who loves to be spoiled when facing her father.
Although Zong Qinghou has left us, his business spirit will live on forever. Now, Zong Fuli, as the only daughter of Zong Qinghou, has shouldered the burden of tens of billions left by her father.
We believe that she will firmly carry this banner and create a new business legend. Let's look forward to Zong Fuli's performance in the future, and I believe that she will definitely live up to our expectations of her.
The wealth and influence that Zong Fuli possessed was amazing, whether she was married or not, and had children. It's a pity that Zong Qinghou passed away in this way, but we wish him all the best.
Zong Qinghou is a mortal who has risen from the bottom, and his success story is admirable.
