In this way, Zhong Shanshan, the founder of Nongfu Spring, went public with Nongfu Spring, and Zhong Shanshan, the founder, once surpassed Ma and Ma Yun to become the new richest man in China.
Of course, Zhong Shanshan, the new richest man, has been working for half an hour. With the decline of Nongfu Spring, Zhong Shanshan's current net worth is about $51900 million, which is lower than that of Ma Yun and Ma Hua Teng, but higher than that of Sun Piaoyang, the founder of Hengrui Pharma, who is currently ranked third.
Zhong Shanshan's ability to kill Ma Yun and Ma Hua Teng is inseparable from his own strength.
Zhong Shanshan's entrepreneurial experience is legendary. His life is not smooth sailing. He was born in poverty and made a fortune by himself, which is a model for a poor boy to turn his life around.
Zhong Shanshan, 1954, was born in Zhuji, Zhejiang. Due to the special age of his life, he was forced to drop out of primary school and work as a coolie. For example, he moved bricks, worked as a bricklayer and a carpenter.
1977 after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Zhong Shanshan failed the college entrance examination twice, and finally had to go to RTVU to study. After graduation, he joined Zhejiang Daily for five years.
1988, under the tide of national reform and opening up, Zhong Shanshan started his business in Hainan Special Economic Zone officially approved by the state. After two failures, he had to set up a stall in the street again.
199 1 year, Zhong Shanshan became the general distributor of Wahaha oral liquid in Hainan and Guangxi provinces. However, Zong Houqing of Wahaha Group was dissatisfied with Zhong Shanshan's practice? Cross-selling goods? Behavior, Zhong Shanshan can only leave. From 65438 to 0993, Zhong Shanshan founded Hainan Yangshengtang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in Hainan, and successively created brands such as Yangshengtang Guibie Pill, Qingzui Buccal Tablet and Happy Growth.
1996, Zhong Shanshan, who has been worth tens of millions, returned to Hangzhou to establish Zhejiang Qiandao Lake Yangshengtang Drinking Water Co., Ltd. (the predecessor of Nongfu Spring). On 200 1, Zhong Shanshan changed the company name to Nongfu Spring Co., Ltd., and many people were wondering why Zhong Shanshan became the richest man in China just by selling water, that is, a bottle of mineral water for 2 yuan. Do you want to know if selling water really makes money?
The prospectus of Nongfu Spring shows that the gross profit margin of various products produced by the company is surprisingly high, especially the packaged drinking water products, which is as high as 60.2%. The gross profit margin of Nongfu Spring in 20 19 years was as high as 55.4%. Imagine that Pepsi and Coca-Cola in the United States also became world-famous enterprises by selling water. Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhong Shanshan relies on Nongfu Spring to become the richest man.
In recent years, Nongfu Spring has been trying to change with the market demand. 20 17 entered the cosmetics industry and introduced birch juice mask, moisturizing liquid and spray. On 20 19, plant yogurt was introduced, also on 20 19, and Nongfu Spring also entered the coffee industry, introducing cross-border beverage carbonated coffee.
