Zong Fuli is the daughter of Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha Group. After Zong Qinghou passed away, she gradually took over Wahaha Group. Her resume and related experience can be said to be very rich:
Zong Fuli went abroad to study at the age of 14 and returned to China in 2004. She majored in international business at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles, USA.
After returning to China in 2004, she joined Wahaha and served as the deputy director of the Management Committee of Xiaoshan No. 2 Base, directly working in the production workshop. In 2007, she became the president of Hongsheng Beverage Group and led Hongsheng to grow into one of the top 500 private enterprises in China. In 2018, she became the director of the brand public relations department of Wahaha Group. In 2020, she also served as the deputy general manager of Wahaha Group Sales Company.
Under the leadership of Zong Fuli, Hongsheng Beverage Group completed the layout of the entire industrial chain, with businesses covering food source ingredients, high-end equipment manufacturing, printing and packaging, beverage production, etc., and transformed into a large group with more than 20 branches across the country. She led multiple brand building projects and made important contributions to the brand upgrade of Wahaha.
Starting from December 21, Zong Fuli became the vice chairman and general manager of Wahaha Group, responsible for the company's daily work. In 2023, Zong Qinghou resigned as the legal representative of Hangzhou Wahaha Nutrition Food Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Wahaha Very Cola Beverage Co., Ltd., and was succeeded by his daughter Zong Fuli.
From this series of experiences, Zong Fuli can be said to have come from the front line to where she is now. Her management experience and innovative spirit are beyond doubt, and everyone has seen it. However, today's resignation letter is a bit meaningful. Once Zong Qinghou leaves, no one will protect Zong Fuli, and it will be easy for her to be sidelined and leave. This is the game of capital. We don't know much about the details, but from this resignation letter, there are many stories in it~
