Zong Lao left you not only hundreds of billions of family property, but also hundreds of millions of hearts!
On February 28th, a light rain fell in the sky of Hangzhou, and a heavy and solemn memorial service was being held at Wahaha Group's base in Xiasha.
Zong Qinghou, the founder of the Wahaha Group and a legend of China's beverage industry, left this world forever on February 25.
*Loading. His family, employees, partners and people from all walks of life came here to express their condolences in various ways and bid farewell to this great entrepreneur who wrote a legendary life in the history of Chinese entrepreneurship.
Zong Qinghou was born in an ordinary rural family, lost his father at a young age, his family was poor, and he only studied for a few years. But with his indomitable will and persistent efforts, he founded Wahaha Group at the age of 42.
From 140,000 yuan of entrepreneurial capital to creating a business empire with annual sales of more than 100 billion yuan, Zong Qinghou used his life to write the most wonderful entrepreneurial legend since China's reform and opening up.
At the memorial service, Zong Fuli, the only daughter of Zong Qinghou, has been presiding over the ceremony on the spot.
Her voice trembled when she spoke, and she could not hide the grief in her heart, but she still forced a smile and shook hands with the guests who came to mourn one by one, and accepted their condolences.
*Loading. As Zong Qinghou's only flesh and blood, she can empathize with the grief brought to her by her father's death more than anyone else.
Over the years, Zong Fuli has grown up under the careful guidance of her father, and gradually assumed important responsibilities in Wahaha Group, becoming the helmsman of the group. Zong Lao has high hopes for his daughter, hoping that she will inherit his career.
I cried when I heard it, especially when there were 20,000 employees behind me, and I had to have a sense of responsibility to the society.
Listening to it and crying, Zong Lao has worked hard all his life, advocating frugality, is a conscientious entrepreneur, although Zong Fuli has a huge fortune but will always lose her father, she is very pitiful, very helpless, mourning!
Just don't fire employees, which entrepreneur can do it!
Zong Fuli, you must catch this earth-pouring wealth, Zong Lao left you not only hundreds of billions of family property, but also hundreds of millions of hearts!
Even at the last moment of his life, the elder must have hoped that his daughter would hold her chest up and face his departure strongly.
In her speech, Zong Fuli reviewed the bits and pieces of her father's entrepreneurship.
When he was young, Zong Lao worked in a factory, and later went to the sea to start a business, selling all kinds of groceries and snacks, but he was unsuccessful.
It wasn't until he saw a market opportunity for children with problematic diets that he decided to develop a nutritious drink for children's needs.
In order to come up with a catchy name for the new product, he also published a call for action in the newspaper, and finally chose the name "Wahaha" according to public opinion.
The launch of the new product was a great success, and it also laid the foundation for the future development of Wahaha Group.
Zong Fuli said that her father's research and dedication to the enterprise are a role model for her in this life.
Zong Lao devoted almost all of his time and energy to Wahaha's operation. In order to open up the national market, he has to travel more than 200 days a year, traveling to most of China, getting closer to dealers and understanding the sales situation on the front line.
In some years, he was even present at the company's headquarters for less than a week.
It is this kind of hard work and wholeheartedness that makes Wahaha stand out in the fierce market competition, successfully enter all parts of the country, and become a 100-billion-level enterprise.
Not only that, Zong Lao also attaches great importance to his employees. He does not allow companies to lay off employees at will, especially against laying off old employees over the age of 45.
He once said that the abilities of employees are different for everyone, and the company can make appropriate adjustments to employees according to their abilities, but they should never be fired lightly.
This kind of caring makes Wahaha's employees respect and love him.
Today, many retired employees have come to the memorial service to remember this kind boss in their own way.
*Loading. In Zong Fuli's description, Zong Lao is a simple, humble, thrifty and hard-working entrepreneur. He never wastes money, lives a simple life, and his annual living expenses do not exceed 50,000 yuan.
But he will spend hundreds of millions of yuan every year to reward employees and carry out public charity.
Especially to support education, Zong Lao will donate a fixed amount every year to help poor students complete their studies.
It can be said that Zong Lao has practiced the business ethics of "taking from the society and using the society" with his life, which has also won him the respect of all walks of life.
Zong Fuli finally said that her father's death was an unbearable blow to her and Wahaha Group.
But she will keep in mind her father's entrustment, take on the responsibility of leading the enterprise, and lead Wahaha people to continue to walk and take this entrepreneurial road.
She believes that the company will be able to stand tall in the market wave, because it has the precious spiritual wealth left by the patriarch.
Dad, don't worry, I will use the power you gave me to manage the Wahaha that you have worked hard to create, and inherit your great cause forever. She said.
Zong Fuli's speech brought tears to the audience, and when she recounted, there was a nearly 200-meter-long queue of people outside the memorial hall.
These citizens from all walks of life did not know Zong Lao, but they were deeply inspired by his character and came to see off this entrepreneur who had made great contributions to China's entrepreneurship for the last time.
*Loading. Everyone held flowers in their hands and lined up in an orderly manner, even if the sky was drizzling, it did not reduce their grief in the slightest.
In the crowd, there are white-collar workers with umbrellas, middle-aged people in raincoats, and gray-haired old people.
An elderly man who was 92 years old and had limited mobility came to the scene in a wheelchair.
An old man in blue took off his hat and bowed three times reverently to the statue of the elder of the sect, and couldn't help but cry.
Some people spontaneously wrote the words "Go all the way, Elder Zong" on the outer packaging of Wahaha drinks to express their condolences.
Some of these citizens have worked as temporary workers in Wahaha and have enjoyed the care of the elders.
A retired worker said that every holiday, Zong Lao will give extra bonuses and benefits to employees, and he will also take care of him after retirement, and he is very impressed by Zong Lao's kindness.
Another citizen said that Zong Lao once bought their factory in disrepair, which not only turned them into Wahaha employees, but also gave them social insurance, so that they had a stable life.
*Loading. It is the personality charm accumulated by such trivial things as the elder of the sect that has won the love and admiration of the ordinary people. It is rare for an entrepreneur to receive such widespread mourning from all levels of society after his death.
The spontaneous participation of these citizens is the best evaluation of the life of the patriarch.
At the memorial service, there was also a detail that caught the eye, several Hongqi cars were parked near the venue, one of which had a license plate number of "Zhejiang A00010".
The Hongqi sedan has a special symbolic meaning, representing authority and status, and such extraordinary people come to participate in the memorial, which shows the connections and prestige established by the patriarch during his lifetime.
Zong Lao is not only a successful entrepreneur, but also a recognized spiritual leader from all walks of life.
The identity of the owner of the Hongqi sedan is not exquisite, but its appearance has fully proved the greatness of the elder Zong.
Netizens sighed with emotion:
A businessman can be mourned by so many people, and there are only a handful of five thousand years!
There is no more patriarch in the world, may Wahaha last forever!
Zong Lao is well, and his lifelong spirit of struggle will always inspire future generations.
Wahaha Group will also absorb the nutrition of Zong Fuli under the leadership of Zong Fuli and grow strongly, so as to commemorate this entrepreneurial pioneer with practical actions.
Serving the people wholeheartedly will be remembered by the people!
Although the sect elder has passed away, his spirit lives on.
His life is not only a personal history of struggle, but also a microcosm of China's reform, opening up and entrepreneurship.
