"Come to work with integrity, and go home with a breeze on your sleeves. This is the high praise of Zhejiang citizens for him after Zong Qinghou's death.
Some people say that the evaluation before death is not valuable, but it is worth after death.
After the death of Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha Group, many citizens and former employees spontaneously mourned, and it can be seen from the bouquets everywhere that the entrepreneur's life of honor is born.
And after the death of Zong Qinghou, the founder of Nongfu Spring, Zhong Sui, was scolded on the hot search:
Ungrateful, unfair competition, businessman ...... nature
Zhong Sui quickly posted an article to refute the rumors: Please stop cyberbullying!
But this matter has not passed, and another more shocking news has appeared on the hot search:
Nongfu Spring brand is pro-Japanese!
When it comes to the brilliant achievements of Nongfu Spring, it must be inseparable from the founder of Zhong Sui.
In 1991, relying on the connections of Zhejiang reporters, Zhong Sui became the best person of Wahaha Group in Guangdong and officially became one of the employees of Wahaha.
But Zhong was not at ease after becoming the first person, and privately sold goods in Hainan, and sold goods from Hainan to Guangdong across regions, so as to earn a rich price difference.
After Zong Qinghou found out, he expelled Zhong Sui in line with principles and positions, which also laid the groundwork for Zhong Sui to hold a grudge and take revenge on the Wahaha Group.
At this time, Zong Qinghou didn't know that this seemingly inconspicuous little employee would deal a heavy blow to Wahaha Group in the future.
In 1993, Zhong Sui founded Yangshengtang ***, relying on Yangshengtang turtle and turtle pills and other products, and gradually became famous.
What made him famous was the drinking water of Zhejiang Qiandao Lake Health Hall, which was founded 3 years later, which was also the famous and famous Nongfu Spring in the future.
In 2001, the company officially changed its name to Nongfu Spring Co., Ltd
Just when everyone thought that this was an excellent employee who came out of Wahaha Group, Zhong gave the former owner a heavy blow.
In 2004, Nongfu Spring spent tens of millions of dollars on advertising to vigorously promote that "natural water is rich in minerals and healthier than pure water", which was completely contrary to Wahaha Group's idea of focusing on pure water at that time.
At this time, Nongfu Spring had already become famous by supporting Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games, as well as the well-known advertising slogan of "buy a bottle of Nongfu Spring and donate 1 cent to the Beijing Olympic Games".
In other words, even if Wahaha is not suppressed, its business path will go smoothly.
However, this old employee, without caring about the affection with the former owner, is bound to fight with Wahaha Group to the end, and constantly vigorously promote his natural mineral water.
As a result, 69 pure water groups led by Wahaha started a five-month lawsuit battle with Nongfu Spring.
Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and in the end, Nongfu Spring lost the lawsuit for "unfair competition" and was fined 200,000 yuan.
But in the past six months, the concept of "natural water" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Wahaha has lost more than half of the market.
While giving Wahaha a heavy blow, Nongfu Spring's shares skyrocketed, and it became the leader of bottled mineral water in China, quickly occupying the shelves of major supermarkets.
Wahaha, as a scientific research water, is the old man spent 1500 million US dollars, a fully automatic pure water production line imported from abroad.
Isn't it ungrateful that Zhong Sui hit a real entrepreneur with extremely unfair competition in just one sentence?
The ** of this matter has not passed, and Nongfu Spring has quickly appeared on the hot search again.
First of all, netizens picked up the tea, oriental leaves and other products under the Nongfu Spring brand, and the outer packaging was impressively printed with Japanese elements such as five-storied pagodas and carp streamers, as well as confusing advertising slogans such as "raw materials ** Japan".
Tea ceremony and tea belong to the excellent traditional Chinese culture, how did you come to Zhong Sui here and become Japanese?
The previous dawn white peach sparkling water was even louder and unashamed to say that it was "produced in Fukushima, Japan".
Dare to ask Zhong and Nongfu Spring, earning Chinese money, under the banner of patriotism, and with such a great reputation, they are actually doing propaganda for Japan?
Looking at the portrait on the packaging, it is too Japanese.
In addition to the outer packaging, netizens picked up Zhong Yezi's child who became an American citizen, and his name was Zhong Yezi.
And when you hear the name "Noko", it has a Japanese flavor.
On the other hand, Wahaha Group and Zong Qinghou were founded at the time of the rise of China's private enterprises, and have been diligent and dedicated to giving back to society and the country for decades.
Zong Qinghou once said: "I am not a capitalist, I am an entrepreneur, the more you benefit the people, the first rich help the latter to get rich, and achieve common prosperity, people will respect your wealth." ”
My wealth is social, not personal, I paid 5.4 billion taxes last year, and the state has created conditions for us, so we should be grateful. ”
This is a real entrepreneur, worthy of the country, worthy of the people, worthy of himself.
When a person leaves, the performance of ordinary people can best reflect the person's life. ”
Looking back on Wahaha's decades of entrepreneurship, Zong Lao said with a wry smile: "Wahaha's biggest difficulty is rumors. ”
From Nutrition Express being rumored to contain latex, to Wahaha pure water being questioned as unhealthy;
From refusing foreign acquisitions to boycotting Nongfu Spring's malicious competition;
From the small factory with 100 people back then, to the Wahaha Group with tens of billions of dollars today.
The life that the patriarch has gone through is pure and bright.
And the "farmer" in Nongfu Spring is also the "farmer" in "The Farmer and the Snake".
Zhong Sui, who is also the richest man three times, only knew how completely Zong Qinghou won at the moment when the whole network boycotted Nongfu Spring.
only sighs that "the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time".
And the so-called "clarification" of Zhong Sui in the face of the boycott of the whole network was just that when he saw Nongfu Spring's stock price ** and sales **80, he had to apologize.
This is not the conscience of an entrepreneur, but the trade-off of just a businessman.
