It is an indisputable fact that there is a large gap between the rich and the poor in China.
We deduce that because the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and the common people do not live well, then it is natural to hate those who are rich.
However, this is suspected of "overturning a boatload of people with a stick".of remarks.
How do rich people get rich? How do they deal with the gap between the rich and the poor when they get rich? Is it to make money and enjoy, run away with debts, and move abroad, or is it like Zong Qinghou, the first generation of entrepreneurs in China's reform and opening up, who is hardworking, full of responsibility and struggle all his life?
Don't the common people count in their hearts?
At 10:30 on February 25, Zong Qinghou died at the age of 79 due to ineffective medical treatment.
On the Internet and at Wahaha headquarters, there is an endless stream of people mourning him.
This is a strange phenomenon, no one organizes these people, they do not deliberately express their sadness, they all use their own personal experience to tell everyone that Zong Qinghou is a conscientious entrepreneur.
He stipulated that no old employees over the age of 45 should be laid off.
When the employee's parents were seriously ill and asked for leave for a few months, he still paid 5,000 yuan a month, and 180,000 year-end bonus.
He said that it is not easy for people nowadays, and he builds houses and buys affordable housing for employees, after all, behind the more than 30,000 employees are countless families.
He said: "Wahaha doesn't do real estate, because it's too easy to make money, and if you get used to making that kind of money, you can't stand the step-by-step speed of making money in industry, after all, industry is the foundation of the country, and it can create more wealth and jobs." ”
He is one of the few entrepreneurs in China who cares so much about the interests of his employees and the employment of ordinary people.
The person he admires the most is ***
We should help everyone to get rich together, to reflect the value of wealth, and also to reflect the value of your life. He practiced that if you get rich first, you must help those who are not rich, so that you can achieve common prosperity.
Compared with those crazy people who circle money and then run away, there is no reason for the people to hate him.
Zong Qinghou merges other enterprises for the sake of enterprise development, not like other entrepreneurs who think that those who are merged by the factory are a burden, and basically kick them away with some compensation.
In 1991, Zong Qinghou, who was still the director of Hangzhou Wahaha Nutrition Food Factory, wanted to merge Hangzhou Canned Food Factory. Hangzhou Canned Food Factory is a local state-owned factory, with more than 2,000 employees, even if it is facing sales difficulties and serious debts and other crises, but the scale is much larger than the Wahaha Nutrition Food Factory of more than 100 people.
In the end, Zong Qinghou spent 80 million yuan to buy the canned food factory, which not only took over more than 2,000 employees and more than 500 retirees of the factory, but also helped the factory repay its debts.
In that tide of reform, there are too many things that inexplicably merge and push employees to society, and which entrepreneur still makes the old employees who have been merged still grateful.
When he was a child, Zong Qinghou's family was poor, and when he was a teenager, he walked the streets and alleys, selling popcorn, sweet potatoes, etc. to subsidize the family.
After struggle, he became the richest man in China three times.
But his nature remained unchanged.
In an interview with Yang Lan, in the face of artificial intelligence, he said that the defense industry is very good. However, large-scale use by enterprises will inevitably affect the employment of ordinary people, which is a double-edged sword.
When Yang Lan asked, does this have an impact on Wahaha? Zong Qinghou said, Wahaha will not.
Is he a conservative and unenterprising person?
In 2022, Zong Qinghou will also obtain the ** qualification at the age of 76, and he is a person who has lived to learn from old age.
He is a person who has spent his life paying attention to the well-being of his employees.
The same is true for Jack Ma.
Although Jack Ma believes that opening online stores has solved the employment of many people, Zong Qinghou believes that more people have closed stores offline.
Although there are differences in cognition, after the death of Zong Qinghou, Ma Yun wrote an elegiac couplet:"It's not too late to fight forty in life, the spirit of a pioneer; Entrepreneurship is difficult to seek innovation all night, and the true character of entrepreneurs. ”
Even Lei Jun, who is now overwhelmed by the pricing of Xiaomi cars, also posted a message to mourn:"I read a book about him more than 20 years ago and was impressed and very admired. A generation of legends, all the way well. ”
He is also a role model for Chinese entrepreneurs. Although, many entrepreneurs can't do what he does.
On February 28, his memorial service was held in Hangzhou.
* According to the report, although it was raining heavily and the temperature was only 6 degrees, the rain continued to fall from morning to 8 o'clock in the morning, but at 8 o'clock in the morning, many people came to the north gate of Wahaha Xiasha base. At 10 o'clock in the morning, a memorial service after bidding farewell to Zong Qing was held here.
There are a large number of flowers and wreaths sent by people at the entrance of the north gate, and there are constantly takeaway brothers who help people deliver bouquets back and forth. Many people spontaneously came to say goodbye, and on both sides of the door and in front of the restaurants opposite, there were people with umbrellas, and there were so many people that they couldn't stand down; There were also people who came with suitcases in tow, looking dusty.
After his death, the outside world's memorial and many evaluations of him speak for themselves: he is a good boss in the eyes of many employees, a national entrepreneur in the eyes of ordinary people, a respectable "big brother" in the eyes of entrepreneurs, and a great father in the hearts of his daughters.
I saw an old man who went to mourn and said,It doesn't matter how you evaluate it before you die, it's the most true thing how you evaluate it after you die.
Scales, the people have always had in their hearts.
Zong Qinghou's Wahaha enterprise, for so many years, has been sincerely doing business in a down-to-earth manner, not going public to make money, not making quick money in real estate, not laying off 45-year-old employees, building low-rent housing for employees, and not going abroad if there is money.
In fact, ordinary Chinese people do not hate the rich at all, do not reject private enterprises, as long as they run enterprises in their own right, they can be praised in Chinese society, and the goodness of ordinary Chinese people can be seen from this. If there is, it is also the hatred of the rich and unkind, the display of the rich, and the hatred of the common people.
Seeing that people keep sending flowers and bowing at the door of Wahaha Group is enough to explain everything.
People have left their names, and geese have left their voices.
The only hope is that Zong Fuli can inherit her father's inheritance well, and it has been proved that what her father wants to do is right.
