The 79-year-old Zong Qinghou entered the ICU news.
On February 22, according to the surging news report, Zong Qinghou is currently being treated at the ICU ward of Shayu Fu Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College.
The relevant person in charge of the propaganda department of the hospital said that he had just learned about the situation with the ICU medical team on the afternoon. At present, Zong Qinghous physical condition is stable.
According to media reports, before the Spring Festival, Zong Qing has already been in ShaoYifu Hospital.
As the head of Wahaha, the benchmarking figures of Zhejiang businessmen have attracted the attention of the outside world.
But as the age of growth fell, the matters of Zong Qinghou also put on the agenda.
In December 2021, Wahaha announced that Zong Qinghous daughter Zong Yili was the vice chairman and general manager of the group, but Zong Qinghou was still the chairman of the Wahaha Group.
The entry of Zong Qinghous ICU also triggered external conjecture. The power of Wahaha Group should soon be delivered to Zong Yili.
Compared with her father, Zong Yili has not experienced too many storms. As a second -generation successor, can Zong Yili be alone?
Three times to become the richest man, but from the poor
as the domestic beverage industryFor the leading enterprise, Wahaha once pushed Zong Qinghou to the throne of the countrys richest man three times, but the origin of the richest man was very poor.In 1945, Zongqing was born in Xuzhou. At that time, the New China had not been established.After the founding of New China, the 4 -year -old Zong Qinghou returned to Hangzhou with his parents.
Because the family conditions are not good, Zong Qinghou has gone to the streets from a teenager to subsidize home use by selling popcorn, roasted sweet potatoes, etc.
It is also because of the poor family. After graduating from junior high school, Zong Qing gave up his studies and went to work in Zhoushans farm. After that, he went to Shaoxings farm to be a dispatcher.
In 1978, the ten -year catastrophe just ended, and after the ancestors, because the mother retired and replaced her mothers teaching position, she had the opportunity to return to the city. He entered the school to run a cartonThe factory is a salesman.
The work of the salesman is not easy to do, but Zong Qinghou has a great job.His head is light and clever, and he is born to do sales.
It is that gold will shine everywhere. Soon Zong Qing was seen by other school -run factories and "dug" him to sell in the past.
In the next 10 years, Zong Qinghou has worked for several school -run factories, and one of the factories has achieved the manager of the sales department.
from school-run factories, to 100 billion business empires
1987In the year, Zong Qinghou, 42, suddenly resigned from the iron rice bowl and took the borrowed 140,000 yuan to start a business.
At that time, everyone did not understand that Zong Qinghou, who had been overwhelmed, why he would choose to throw away the iron rice bowl and choose to start a business.
In the eyes of everyone, Zong Qinghou contracted the distribution department of the Shangcheng District school that he had previously worked.Essence
At that time, the price was not high, and the profit of a popsicle was less than 1 cents, but this did not affect Zong Qinghous motivation.Essence
Also because of his enthusiasm and honesty, more and more customers choose to cooperate with him, the business scope has also expanded, and it has also started processing products. The business is getting more and more and more and more.fire.
In 1989, Zong Qinghou, who had been in the sea for two years, founded Hangzhou Wahaha Food Factory. The main product was nutritional solution, and the gear of his destiny began to accelerate.
Soon after the domestic reform and opening up, ordinary people had no concept of nutrient solution, which means that this one in the market was completely blank.
Zong Qinghou has keenly captured this opportunity and led the team to develop the childs nutrient solution "Wahaha". After the production of the product, he spent heavy publicity.
The phrase "I drank Wahaha, after eating is fragrant" to become a collective memory of a generation of Chinese people. Wahaha opened the market and quickly became the leader in the domestic nutritional solution field.
After earning the first bucket of gold, Zong Qinghou immediately began to expand his business map. In 1991, Wahaha Food Group was officially established.
Since then, Wahahas business has been expanded from nutrient solution to juice, pure water, dairy products, etc., which basically covers every segment of the beverage industry.
And Wahaha has also developed rapidly. Zong Qinghou has opened more than 160 branches in 29 provinces and cities in China.
Wahaha has become a leading enterprise in the domestic beverage industry. This company that starts with school -run factories has grown to 100 billion yuan.
Maybe if you keep your business more difficult
The development of any company is not smooth sailing.Wahaha is no exception.
According to data from the top 500 list of Chinese private enterprises, in the 7 years in 2014-2020, Wahahas performance fell from 72.8 billion yuan to 44 billion yuan.
The reason for the decline in performance is not only the heavy pressure applied by external competitors, but also the internal management concepts and methods of enterprises need to be updated.
In 2021, Wahahas performance returned to more than 50 billion yuan, reaching 51.9 billion yuan, which is also the largest growth of the companys performance since 2013.
One of the backgrounds of Wahahas performance recovered, that is, Zong Qinghou took the initiative to take the position of the general manager to his daughter Zong Yili.
In March last year, Zong Qinghou said in an interview with the media that he was preparing for class.Pay the way for successors.
At the same time, Zong Qinghou also said that he was just retreating to the second line, not retirement. If the route of young people appeared, he would still come forward.
Think of the failure of Wahahas attempts in diversification, Zong Qinghous remarks are still quite meaningful.
In 2018, Zong Yili officially entered the Wahaha Group. She found that Wahaha wants to create a glory anymore, and must cater to the taste of young people and continue to innovate.
So Zong Yili began to actively broaden the product type, first launched the "AD Calcium Cream Moon Cake" in the Mid -Autumn Festival, and then replaced the packaging of the nutritional express line.The makeup plate also opened the offline flashing room in Hangzhou.
In addition, she even tried childrens clothing and liquor business.But all of them ended in failure.
In order to make the brand younger, Zong Yili also removed the spokesperson Wang Lihong, who has been in Wahaha for more than 20 years.Essence
But the diversified failure did not affect the rhythm of Zong Qinghous work. Perhaps he wanted young people to know the taste of failure, so as to avoid bigger mistakes.
Zong Qinghou once said that it is more difficult to keep in business than entrepreneurship: "There is no money and capital when starting a business, but through hard work, successHope is relatively large, because at that time, it was a shortage of economy, but now that the surplus economy is now more difficult than entrepreneurship, the competition is too fierce, and we must persist in innovation. "
Facing Zong Yili, who is in the face of karma, is it ready?
