As we all know, located inA gray six-story office building at 160 Qingtai Street in HangzhouIt is the headquarters of Wahaha Group, where Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha, who has been the richest man in China many times, works here.
On Labor Day in 1987, Zong Qinghou put it"Hangzhou Shangcheng District School-run Enterprise Distribution Department".The sign was hung at 160 Ching Tai Street. Here, Zong Qinghou started on a tricycle, and took a bottle of children's nutrition solution as an opportunity to start Wahaha's business empire.
37 years have passed, and the Wahaha headquarters building has undergone two renovations and still stands here. Now, the Wahaha headquarters at 160 Qingtai Street is about to complete its mission.
At the end of 2023, Wahaha's main department has been relocated to a new building on the banks of the Qiantang River, which is the site of the former Hangzhou Canned Food Factory.
Relevant information shows thatWahaha's new headquarters building is a key project in Shangcheng District, HangzhouIt is located in the "City of the Future" in Hangzhou, where a number of large-scale landmark comprehensive buildings will be located in the future. New buildingIt consists of 1 15-storey office building and three basement floors, with a total construction area of 9110,000 yuan, as an ecological, comfortable and high-end intelligent scientific research park, provides R&D, administrative office and living facilities services for Wahaha Group.
The relocation of Wahaha Group to the new building not only demonstrates the strong strength of the company, but also lays a solid foundation for future development, and marks that the group has entered a new stage of development.
The food industry learned that there is also adjacent to the Wahaha headquarters buildingWahaha Cultural CenterandTalent ApartmentProject. Among them, a total of 1,364 public rental houses will be built in the talent apartment project, and the supporting facilities include underground garages, indoor swimming pools, outdoor fitness venues, and central gardens. Wahaha Cultural Center is equipped with theaters, exhibition halls, lecture halls and other venues, and will carry out characteristic cultural and artistic activities in the future.
The above project is about to be delivered, and the talent apartment is specially built for Wahaha employeesThe rent of each set is only more than 100 yuan。It is worth noting that the average price of houses for sale in the surrounding area has exceeded 50,000 square meters, and the construction of low-rent houses in luxury areas has undoubtedly brought tangible benefits to employees.
Zong Qinghou once said in an interview: "This is the biggest problem, now young people get married and don't have a house, they can't afford to buy it, they can't afford to rent it, they buy a rent, and the burden is very heavy, which is more important than salary." ”The development dividend is shared by employees, which is the original intention of Zong Qinghou to lead Wahaha, and it is also the mission he has never forgotten.

Zong Qinghou has always been stingy with the welfare of employees. Although on their own"The annual cost does not exceed 50,000 yuan"., but Zong Qinghou often hangs on the lips of a sentence: "Enterprise development is inseparable from employees." Zong Qinghou said that he would raise wages for employees every year, and called on all companies to raise wages, he said: "Let employees get rich, and people will respect you." ”
In Zong Qinghou's view, the part of personal wealth that exceeds a certain limit actually belongs to the state. Zong Qinghou has a judgment that now private entrepreneurs have reached the stage of repaying the society, "This can reflect the value of life, gain the respect of the people, and at the same time, it can also eliminate the public's hatred of the rich." ”
Wahaha's large-scale efforts to benefit its employees are also related to its own growing performance.
According to public information, food industry experts found that Wahaha has maintained a steady business situation in recent years, especially during the three-year special periodAchieved resilient business performance。Even in 2022, when the challenges intensified, Wahaha has made billions, and Zong Qinghou previously humbly said to the outside world: "We are few."
2023 is the 36th year that Haha has gone through, and according to public data, Wahaha's revenue in 36 years is likely to exceed 900 billion yuan, becoming the aircraft carrier of China's beverage industry.
Talking about the future of Wahaha, Zong Qinghou said"Wahaha is going to the development goal of a 'century-old enterprise'. ”

People are in their prime, but Zong Qinghou is in good spirits, and according to his plan, he will serve the staff for 20 years. This Wahaha patriarch also accompanies the staff and his daughter to lead Wahaha to a higher level of the century-old store.
