The movie "New Order" was launched, and Zhang Jiahui Ruan Jingtian Wang Continental cooperated for the first time


1905 movie network news Recently, led by the director,,, starring, Ma Yuke,,,, He Xinlin, the official start of the friendship. The film tells the story of the black and white gangs that have been rampant for many years, due to the sudden appearance of a mysterious person, the power structure they have painstakingly managed has collapsed.

At the opening ceremony of the film, the film director Ma Yuke made an appearance with a group of main creators, starring tough guys gathered "Ruthless Overflow".

 

The confrontation between good and evil creates a "new order" Zhang Jiahui Ruan Jingtian King Continent’s first contest in the same frame

The film revolves around the establishment of a "new order": for many years, the Hongtai Group, which is secretly engaged in criminal activities such as human body trading, has been disturbed by the sudden appearance of the mysterious man Chen An (Zhang Jiahui, played). The police Mai Langwen (Ruan Jingtian, played) and Hong Tai’s subordinate Ma Wenkang (Wang Continental, played) are ordered by their respective superiors to launch an investigation. For a time, many forces are intertwined. The old and new order are violent, and it is still unknown who will die. A competition to break the dark order is imminent. The film integrates a variety of action elements such as gunfights, hand-to-hand combat, and car chases. On the basis of the exciting plot, it will also present highly impactful action scenes. The "ruthlessness" is full of adrenaline, and it will definitely bring the audience an "enjoyable" and "enjoyable" viewing experience.

In the movie "New Order", Zhang Jiahui, Ruan Jingtian, and Wang Continental, three tough guys, were in the same frame for the first time. The competition between men and the fight between fists and meat is bound to burst with hormones. Zhang Jiahui has created many classic characters in the film, and with the title of "Best Actor", Chen An, who starred as a mystery in "New Order" this time, believes that his expertise in crime genres and fierce fighting scenes will once again set off expectations.

Ruan Jingtian played the police officer Mai Langwen in the movie with a tough wrist and a fierce and decisive style, which injected more suspense into the movie. Wang Continental played Ma Wenkang, a gangster in the movie. He has also challenged many difficult action scenes in his previous screen works, which is enjoyable and shows his unique side of a hot-blooded tough guy. I believe that the cooperation of the three actors will definitely collide with different screen sparks.

 

Tough guys gather to detonate the screen "crime movie" strength team to create absolute ferocity

In addition to the three leading actors, the film also invited Qin Pei, Ma Yuke, Lian Kai, and a group of powerful "drama bones" actors. Their deeply rooted screen characters and audience friends are like family treasures, which can be called "all ruthless people". This super lineup will surely dedicate a wonderful acting battle to the audience.

It is worth mentioning that this film is also the first attempt of actor Ma Yuke to transform into a director. As a powerful actor who has been in the film industry for more than ten years, Ma Yuke is good at thinking about the characters from all angles, from the psychology of the characters to the outside, so that he can accurately grasp the "soul" of the characters. This change of identity, I believe that the director will present his excavation and thinking of each character in the story to the audience brilliantly.

At the same time, the film also gathers a strong behind-the-scenes team. Shin Jae-myung, a well-known Korean action director who directed "Despicable Streets" and "Friends", joined this time to create a unique violent aesthetic for this film. The representative work of the director of photography, with his solid basic skills and shooting experience in action film photography, will definitely add a lot to the language of the film’s lens. The creative art design of the film’s art director Yang Wei in the film has opened the eyes of countless audiences. With his keen insight and bold creation, the styling director Bai Yiting draws design inspiration from the characters and actors. Each character in his masterpiece is flexible, vivid and memorable, which also makes people look forward to the styling of the tough guys in this film. The editing of this film is led by many excellent crime films, and its representative works are all the favorites of crime action film fans. Under the escort of the quality of such a hard-core team, it is inevitable to create a "cool enough" crime action film for the audience.

  Liu Yifei’s "godfather" and agent Chen Jinfei talked about Liu Yifei for the first time. (Data map)


  Chongqing Morning Post reported on May 7Yesterday, a report in the Southern Metropolis Daily exposed Chen Jinfei, the legendary wealthy "stepfather" of "Little Dragon Girl" Liu Yifei – only he is not the "Little Dragon Girl" stepfather but the "godfather" and "agent". The reporter learned from the circle yesterday that Chen Jinfei, who was called "Dad" by Liu Yifei, is 46 years old and worth hundreds of millions. What is even more surprising is that he was sued by a shepherd dog lover in Chongqing last year.


  Godfather and broker


  Million yuan for Yifei’s bar mitzvah


  In the Southern Metropolis Daily report, Chen Jinfei said that he became Liu Yifei’s godfather by chance 15 years ago. Later, he supported Liu Yifei, who was only 14 and a half years old at the time and was studying in the United States, to return to China and enter the entertainment industry. He personally renamed her "Liu Yifei".


  In order to give Liu Yifei a better development, Chen Jinfei established a management company called "Red Star Dock", a seven-person company composed of only one artist, to serve and plan for her. Later, Chen Jinfei personally selected the Hollywood William Morris agency that had made Zhang Ziyi famous in the United States, and introduced Liu to Hollywood.


  On August 17, 2005, Chen Jinfei threw 1.80 million and held a "Crystal Princess, Feiyue 18" coming-of-age ceremony for Liu Yifei at Fangfei Garden of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.


  Hainan Gold Rush made a fortune


  Treat Liu Yifei as a family member


  Who is Chen Jinfei? After searching on the Internet, the reporter found that he is the boss of Beijing General Industry Investment Group. Born in Beijing in 1962, he has a bachelor’s degree in economics from Renmin University of China. After graduating from university, he was assigned to work in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. In 1987, Chen Jinfei went to sea to start a business. Three years later, he transferred to the real estate industry in Hainan and gained a lot. After that, he returned to Beijing to invest in real estate. In 2000, the General Industry Investment Group he headed had become one of the largest private enterprises in Beijing. Chen Jinfei also invested in a professional website for German Shepherds. In 2002, Chen Jinfei ranked 23rd on the Forbes list of the richest people in the Chinese mainland with assets of $215 million.


  The reporter learned from people in the circle yesterday that a very popular theory about the relationship between Liu Yifei’s mother and daughter and Chen Jinfei is that Liu Yifei’s parents divorced when she was four years old, and her mother Liu Xiaoli brought Liu Yifei to the United States through a fake marriage with an American old man who was dozens of years older than her. Later, the mother and daughter couldn’t get along in the United States, and were brought back to China by Chen Jinfei in 2001. Later, Liu Yifei shot her first advertisement "Jinfei Apartment". And "Jinfei Apartment" is one of Chen Jinfei’s properties. When Liu Yifei’s mother and daughter returned to Beijing to live in Yungang, Fengtai, Beijing, many neighbors met Liu Chen and the three. And insiders know that Chen Jinfei regards Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei as relatives.

Multiple positive resonances, the "periodic table of elements" market hit, and the "surging" gold stocks ushered in the main rising wave

  "The international gold price continues to hit a record high" on the hot search, with the soaring gold price, the investment boss who laid out it made a lot of money. Bridgewater (China) Investment’s three products are heavily invested in gold ETFs, with a total of 181.90 million fund shares; tens of billions of private high-tech assets Deng Xiaofeng’s two products hold () 699 million shares, and the company’s share price has risen by more than 40.53% this year.

  For the "skyrocketing" gold price and gold stocks, can the market continue and will there be a main upswing? A number of institutions have released the latest research and opinions.

  () believes that gold stands at the starting point of the medium and long-term bull market, and the elasticity of gold stocks is about 2.23 times that of gold prices. National Gold Securities believes that it is expected that the Federal Reserve will release a "easing signal" in Q2, which will become the starting point for the rising wave of gold stocks. In addition, a number of private equity companies believe that multiple positive resonance, the metal attributes of resource products are activated, and the consumption of non-ferrous commodities is expected to drive the bulls of commodities and start a wave of "periodic table" markets.

  Bridgewater (China) Investment’s three products are heavily invested in gold ETFs

  Since the beginning of this year, gold seems to have escaped the "gravity", and the price of gold has continuously refreshed historical highs, making gold stocks ETFs popular with market funds. On April 3, after the opening of the gold stocks ETF (159562) under China Asset Management was delayed by an hour, there was another violent increase until the daily limit. The ETF has risen by the limit for three consecutive days, and the premium rate is as high as 30%, setting a record.

  Gold stocks ETFs are highly speculated by the market and cannot be separated from the rapid rise in gold prices. Since April, gold prices have continued to refresh historical highs. From the perspective of international gold prices, as of the morning of April 6, Beijing time, the gold futures contract for June settlement on the New York Mercantile Exchange closed at $2349.1/ounce, up 1.76% on the day. London spot gold closed at $2329.57/ounce, an increase of 1.77%. International gold prices continued to hit a record high, rising 13% during the year.

  The soaring price of gold has also made the investment boss in the layout earn a lot of money. Foreign private equity Bridge Water (China) investment has a "soft spot" for gold. According to private placement network data, Bridge Water (China) investment’s three products are heavily invested in gold ETFs, totaling 181.90 million fund shares.

  Specifically, Bridgewater’s all-weather enhanced China Private Offering Fund No. 2 holds shares of Bosera Gold ETF and E Fund Gold ETF. Bridgewater’s all-weather enhanced China Private Offering Fund No. 3 holds shares of three ETF products including Bosera Gold ETF, Huaan Gold Easy ETF and E Fund Gold ETF. Bridgewater’s all-weather enhanced China Private Offering Fund No. 1 holds shares of Bosera Gold ETF and E Fund Gold ETF.

  For the "skyrocketing" gold price, Soochow Securities Research Report believes that gold usually declines three months before interest rate cuts. Therefore, as the interest rate cut cycle approaches, a pullback in gold will be highly likely. If you refer to the experience of gold standing at $1,000/ounce in 2009, 20% may be a hurdle, which also means that there may be some pullback pressure near $2,400/ounce.

  "Torrential" gold stocks ushered in the main wave?

  Regarding the "skyrocketing" gold price, Tianfeng Securities Research Report believes that gold is standing at the starting point of the medium and long-term bull market. Looking at the big cycle, it is most likely that it is in the middle and early stages of the gold bull market. There are favorable factors such as interest rate cut expectations, high inflation, and a downward dollar index on the macro level. Looking at the small cycle, the US dollar and US bond yields are declining, and the real interest rate may enter a downward cycle, superimposing the risk-off demand generated by geopolitics. Gold is currently in the middle of the rising stage of the small cycle paradigm, gradually moving towards a new high. At the beginning of this round of gold’s rising cycle, the elasticity of gold stocks is about 2.23 times that of gold prices

  The latest research report of Guojin Securities strongly recommends paying attention to the main rising wave of gold stocks. The research report believes that under the combined effect of factors such as the good performance of gold stocks in 1Q2024 and the "easing signal" released by the Federal Reserve, 2Q2024 will usher in the main rising wave of gold stocks. The current market value of gold stocks does not reflect the expectation of a rise in gold prices, and may make up for it in the future. Based on the dimension of the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut in June, Guojin Securities expects that the Federal Reserve will release a "easing signal" in Q2, which will become the starting point for the main rising wave of gold stocks.

  Xu Zhiyun, a partner of Ruisheng Investment, told reporters that the current round of gold prices has long been out of the previous real interest rate framework. Behind it is the purchase behavior of global central banks, which is essentially distrust of the US dollar system, which has led to the return of gold to monetary attributes. The swing of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut expectations has a short-term disturbance to market confidence, but as long as the market still believes that interest rate cuts are only a matter of time and rhythm, the central bank’s continued purchase behavior of gold will not change, and the long-term upward price of precious metals, including resource goods, is supported.

  It is worth noting that tens of billions of private high-tech assets Deng Xiaofeng in this wave of gold bull market made a lot of money, Deng Xiaofeng management of Gao Yi Xiaofeng No. 2 letter fund heavily held Zijin Mining 401.7775 million shares, Gao Yi Xiaofeng Hongyuan fund also held Zijin Mining 297.05 million shares at the end of the period, Deng Xiaofeng’s two products together held Zijin Mining 699 million shares. As of April 3, Zijin Mining shares rose more than 40.53% this year.

  "Periodic Table of Elements" market opens

  Guangdong Xiaoyu Investment Li Shiyu told reporters that a major reason for the recent strengthening of resource stocks is that the market expects the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates this year. Secondly, due to geopolitical friction and risk impact, gold prices have been on the rise this year, and international gold prices have continued to hit record highs, which has also stimulated the price performance of other related resource products. The performance of gold prices is currently desensitizing interest rate hikes, and many historical trends have proved that the continuous rise of gold prices to new highs is the leading signal of a bull market in commodities.

  Li Shiyu said that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike cycle will eventually end this year. Although there are "twists and turns", it will not affect the start of the interest rate cut cycle in 2024. The weak expectation of the US dollar will stimulate the "financial attributes" of non-ferrous metals. Coupled with the recovery of domestic and foreign demand, the PMI will rebound beyond expectations, which will greatly promote the consumption growth of non-ferrous commodities and is expected to start a new round of demand for some resource commodities.

  Xu Zhiyun told reporters that the trend of the resource sector is strong, corresponding to the overall rise in the prices of important commodities such as gold, copper, and oil. The first is that the financial attributes of resource commodities are being fully activated. The market expects that the world will end the rapid interest rate hikes of the past two years and enter the interest rate cut cycle. In addition, the liquidity of the sky is still there, and resource commodities that are still at a low level compared with other major assets will be favored. As the commodity with the strongest financial attributes, gold prices continue to brush out record highs is a sign that financial attributes have been activated. Optimistic about the future rise of resource commodities, which is currently a rising dessert area, but we should also pay attention to the rhythm of surfing. Precious metal prices can be used as a leading indicator

  Chen Hongbing, chairperson of Anhui Meitong Asset, told reporters that the recent strengthening of non-ferrous metals such as gold, copper and aluminum, the first is the expectation of the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. Historically, the Federal Reserve has officially entered the interest rate reduction cycle, and the price of gold has a very high probability of rising during this period; secondly, the shortage of supply and demand! For example, the production reduction/shutdown of overseas copper mines will reduce the output of global copper concentrates by about 400,000 tons in 2024, and the expectation of market supply balance will be completely reversed into a shortage. Under the expectation of overseas interest rate cuts, the manufacturing industry is expected to recover, and the global resonance replenishment pool has completely fermented the market’s logic for copper supply problems. The logic of aluminum is similar. On the demand side, the industry has entered the traditional peak season

  Ma Cheng, chairperson of Shenzhen Juze Investment, said that the recent performance of resource stocks is strong, first of all, the market estimates that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in the second quarter in the future, and commodity prices are expected to rise; second, the latest domestic PMI in March reached 50.8%, the data exceeded expectations, and the economy returned to the expansion range, which means that our country’s economy has recovered rapidly and is expected to drive resource commodity prices; third, the recent deterioration of the situation in the Middle East has stimulated the sharp rise in international crude oil prices and gold prices.

The Dark Blue G318 will be available on June 13. What price do you want it to sell for?

"This life must drive 318" I believe is the voice of every self-driving travel enthusiast. Compared with planes and high-speed rail, self-driving travel is more full of fun and challenges, enjoying the soul redemption of wilderness outdoors, and wanting to have a comfortable and relaxed journey. It must be a car that takes you to pursue freedom. The name of the dark blue G318 that just appeared some time ago is also from the Sichuan-Tibet Line National Highway 318. According to the official accurate news, the dark blue G318 will be officially listed on June 13.

First of all, when it comes to the appearance, the dark blue G318 is definitely something that people can’t forget at a glance. In everyone’s traditional impression of hard-core off-road vehicles, most of them are square box types, such as the Defender, Mercedes-Benz Big G, tanks, etc. But to be honest, coming out with an off-road vehicle is a square box really makes people a little visual fatigue, but the dark blue G318 is different. It balances the two current hotspots of hard-core and technology at the same time, and is more popular with young people. The chic headlights are combined with a closed front face, and the whole vehicle is based on a square body. Together, it feels like a technological battleship.

The overall proportion of the side of the body is very harmonious. The hidden door handles and raised eyebrow lines on the side add a sense of style while also appearing hard-edged. The whole car is at a balance point of hard style and youth. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the dark blue G318 are 5010 (including external spare tires)/1985/1960 (including spotlight luggage racks) mm, the wheelbase is 2880mm, and the dark blue G318 is positioned as a medium and large SUV.

Whether it is the workmanship materials or the embodiment of the sense of technology, it is not inferior to the luxury off-road brand. From the details, the dark blue G318 is equipped with a large-size LCD instrument panel and a 14.6-inch embedded central control screen. Instead of using the shift mechanism such as the button lever that is particularly popular among new forces, it uses a more traditional grip-type shift. At the same time, it also includes four-wheel drive system adjustment buttons. The retention of physical buttons makes the operation more convenient. The design of the central armrest box area is also very chic, and it looks very advanced in technology.

The next thing I want to introduce to you is its power aspect. The dark blue G318 is first equipped with a "super" range extension 2.0 power system. The maximum power of the front and rear drive motors of the dual-motor model is 131 kW and 185 kW respectively. The comprehensive maximum power of the system reaches 316 kW, the peak torque at the wheel end can reach 6200 Nm, and the zero-hundred acceleration reaches 6.3 seconds, which truly realizes "super cool". The long-distance range extension of the dark blue G318 has a feed fuel consumption of as low as 6.3L/100km, and the pure electric battery life in the urban area can reach 190km, truly achieving "super saving".

The dark blue G318 is equipped with a central electric stepless differential lock and a magnetic mechanical differential lock. Above the choice of driving mode, the dark blue G318 includes five daily modes and five terrain modes plus three special scenarios of off-road creep, tank U-turn, and steep slope descent. One-click adjustment allows you to enjoy the fun of driving more easily.

The Deep Blue G318 is currently the third model under Deep Blue Auto. It also has two models, the SL03 sedan and the S7 SUV model. The editor has always been very favorable to Deep Blue. The models under Deep Blue are well-positioned and the audience is also very clear. And the design of any model is very fashionable and technological, and the overall preference is younger. The new car of the Deep Blue G318 also did not disappoint everyone. The appearance of the technology battleship, the interior of the luxury technology, and the power of the city can be satisfied. The editor believes that the Deep Blue G318 is still worth buying. There is no problem with the product. Now let’s look at the pricing on June 13. Let’s look forward to its final pricing together.

Samuel Hung established a film studio, and Jackie Chan was ridiculed for being late

    1905 movie network news On June 13, Hongjinbao Film Studio was officially established in Shanghai. Many action actors and directors from the Hong Kong film industry came to the scene. Yuan Hua, Qian Jiale, Qian Xiaohao, Li Rengang, Ye Weixin and others gathered together. Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Jing also came to join the audience. Andy Lau, Guo Fucheng, Huang Xiaoming, Han Geng and others also sent blessing videos. However, the biggest surprise of the day was Jackie Chan, who arrived late, and was ridiculed by Hong Jinbao as soon as he took the stage.

Hong Jinbao established a film studio and contributed money to promote young people

    As Hong Jinbao’s adopted son, Peng Yuyan made a cameo appearance as a host, and almost fell when he came on stage. When he introduced himself, he was interrupted by Hong Jinbao’s son Hong Tianming, "I am Hong Jinbao’s adopted son and his apprentice Peng Yuyan…" Hong Tianming said, "You are the guest, and I am the real son." While chatting and laughing, the two invited Hong Jinbao to the stage.

    Hong Jinbao said that when he was a child, he was also a little fresh meat. Later, he became a martial artist and worked hard for 50 years, which can be regarded as "making a name for himself." "The most important thing in making a movie is that I am not happy, and the audience is happy when they see it, but now there is no one to follow." Next, Hong Jinbao announced the official establishment of his film studio. "The original intention of establishing this studio is to promote young people and make movies with them seriously and vigorously. If I meet good talents, I will help you build a team. I have also established the Hong Jinbao Film Fund, which will invest in good ideas."

The late establishment was ridiculed, and Peng Yuyan "gave up making money" guest hosted

    When all the guests took a group photo, Jackie Chan appeared silently. After Hong Jinbao found out, he invited him to the stage. The two began to tease each other. Hong Jinbao complained first: "Didn’t you come to make money?" Jackie Chan counterattacked: "You didn’t invite me, I came by myself." Hong Jinbao was not to be outdone, "Uninvited! Do I want to invite you? Really."

    The two of them fought for a while, and then entered the photo session. Hong Jinbao still refused to let Jackie Chan go, asking him if he knew the colleagues sitting in the audience, "Do you know Director Li Rengang? Don’t blame him, he doesn’t even know me."

    In the end, Hong Jinbao also thanked Peng Yuyan, and he didn’t forget to laugh, "He is my adopted son, he came in his busy schedule, and he makes money every second. It is my honor not to make money to be my guest, so I will not thank you."

Online catering "agency settlement": no business license is required, only a thousand yuan settlement fee is required

  On November 10, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Food Safety in Online Catering Services", which will take effect from January 1, 2018. This "method" has attracted widespread attention in the society as early as during the consultation period. The reason is that the food takeaway market is getting bigger and bigger, food safety issues are becoming more and more prominent, and new business models continue to challenge supervision. Therefore, many people have high hopes for this "method". However, some "small moves" in the market are already challenging this "method".

  Our reporter, Zhao Li

  At seven o’clock in the evening, it was time for Hu Ling, who was still working overtime. For more than half a year, Hu Ling’s takeout was basically "contracted" by the family-shared kitchen app "Go Home for Dinner".

  Hu Ling, who works at an Internet company in Beijing, often works overtime to order takeout. However, a recent piece of news has caused Hu Ling to worry that his newly developed eating habits may be affected.

  "I heard that the new regulations on online catering will be implemented next year, requiring online takeout to have a physical store and a food business license," Hu Ling said. "As far as I know, most of the family-shared kitchens are done by some unemployed people part-time, so it is impossible to meet these two conditions. This requirement of the new regulations will have some impact on the family-shared kitchen takeaway model."

  The new rule, which Mr. Hu was referring to, is the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Food Safety in Online Catering Services" issued by the State Food and Drug Administration on November 10, which stipulates that online catering service providers should have physical stores and obtain food business licenses according to law, and must not operate beyond the scope. The "Measures" will take effect on January 1, 2018.

  Hu Ling admitted that such regulations will definitely purify the online takeaway industry, which is good for consumer rights and food safety protection. "Previously, the media often reported news of some online takeaway black workshops, and the safety issues of online takeout were exposed during the" 3.15 "period last year. This regulation is a good thing in the field of food safety."

  However, an investigation by a reporter from Legal Daily found that the emergence of online catering "agency settlement" services may reduce the positive significance of the new regulations.

  Most consumers care about "physical stores"

  At every meal, in the office building where Hu Ling works, the delivery staff of various platforms hurriedly shuttle between different floors with various food boxes. At this time, the elevator of the office building also becomes a "battlefield" between the staff who go downstairs to eat and the delivery staff.

  Not long ago, Hu Ling and colleagues ate at a pizzeria. It was dinner time, but the restaurant surrounded by various office buildings had no other customers except them. Within 15 minutes of Hu Ling’s order, four or five takeaways came to pick up the food, and Hu Ling and the others who ate at the pizzeria were lined up after these takeaway orders.

  "I’ll order takeout next time." This unpleasant experience made Hu Ling even more determined to order takeout.

  Unlike Hu Ling, who was forced to choose, Qian Hao, 30, is a true takeaway enthusiast.

  Safe, hygienic, edible and deliverable are all Qian Hao’s criteria for takeout. It is needless to say that he orders takeout at work and almost never cooks at home. Qian Hao relies more and more on takeout. "To be honest, I probably see the delivery staff more often than I see my friends."

  However, while food delivery brings convenience to life, new problems are also becoming increasingly prominent.

  The question of whether food delivery platforms can ensure food safety has worried consumers. In 2016, CCTV’s "3.15" evening exposed the existence of "black workshops" and a large number of management loopholes in food delivery platforms.

  On these issues, Qian Hao said: "Although my attitude towards food is relatively casual, I am very concerned about safety and hygiene. After all, it is to be eaten in the stomach, so the takeaway stores I often order are those that I have confirmed have brick and mortar stores."

  Speaking of brick and mortar stores, consumers also have something to say.

  Chen Qing, a first-year graduate student at a Beijing university, once heard classmates mention that "some takeaway merchants just temporarily form a’small workshop ‘in their own homes and mass-produce takeaway food every day." Chen Qing felt that this "physical" form has no security guarantees, "but she does not deliberately avoid it when ordering food."

  Like Qian Hao, Gong Qi, 25, works for an Internet company in Beijing, and ordering takeout has become an indispensable part of his life.

  When ordering takeout, Gong Qi prefers to choose those who "have eaten in the brick and mortar store in person". "There are two reasons, one is that you will have a better understanding of the taste of the food, and the other is that you feel that the physical store is relatively more hygienic and safe."

  In the field survey of Legal Daily reporters, 65% of respondents believed that having a physical store means more hygiene and safety.

  However, there are also consumers who hold different views on "physical stores".

  Ma Yuan, from Cixi, Zhejiang province, believes that merchants without "physical stores" also have their own advantages. "From the consumer’s perspective, takeaway merchants without physical stores tend to have lower prices and faster food delivery. From the store’s perspective, the operating costs are also much lower than those of physical stores."

  Liu Hongyi, a 35-year-old branch owner of a Beijing-based restaurant chain, was happy to see the new regulations on online dining.

  "If you allow a large number of’small family workshops’ to provide takeout, it will inevitably lead to unfair competition." Liu Hongyi said that it is difficult for brick-and-mortar stores to win the competition with "small workshops" due to operating costs. "Small workshops will also compete with each other, and in order to keep prices down, they will naturally sacrifice the quality of food."

  Mr. Liu told reporters that competition in the takeout industry can be seen to some extent as "the networking of real competition", "but in the final analysis, everyone is comparing the quality of food."

  "Agent Settlement Service" has appeared

  A reporter from Legal Daily investigated and found that there are already "countermeasures" on the market for the "measures" on physical stores.

  Reporters found that on some e-commerce platforms and information intermediary platforms, many merchants have launched "takeaway agency" services, and even on social platforms such as Weibo and WeChat or some question-and-answer platforms, some people claim to help takeaway operators without brick and mortar stores handle takeaway platform matters.

  The reporter interviewed some merchants who provide agency services and learned that most agency service providers say they can take advantage of poor information and related loopholes to help some merchants, especially those operating without a license, enter the takeaway platform.

  Reporters found that these agency service providers have a wide range of "services" and have operations all over the country. "National agency Meituan takeaway Ele.me word-of-mouth glutinous rice group buying…" A WeChat agency nicknamed "takeaway agency" wrote in Moments.

  In addition, the agency service provider that placed an advertisement on a search platform also guaranteed that the ability to handle the goods will not be successful in refunding. "You can make absolutely delicious taste, and the taste is very good, but how to open a takeaway store is a more complicated thing, and the process and requirements of opening a takeaway store are very strict, not to mention wanting to do takeout without a business license. Now, we have also got a solution to this problem, so that everyone who sincerely wants to open a takeaway can have their own store." The above-mentioned agency service provider said, "First of all, there is a relatively big problem is the ghost store that you may have heard of before, and the problem of closing the store. Our analysis is that’great value and low price must be a lie, and the probability of being closed must be 100%. The other part is to change the store information and lend it to you for a few days and then take it back. Some are simply cheating deposits. These are all things we need to avoid when opening a store. A few hundred yuan to open a store must not be a regular channel. I also remind you to pay attention to this problem."

  An agency service provider who claimed to be an industry insider told Legal Daily that if you sincerely want to do takeout and the hygiene conditions are hygienic enough, you can have special channels to open a takeaway store. "You don’t need a business license, you don’t need a store, as long as you really want to make money and want to open a store, you can open a store. According to the designated address and the designated store name, you only need to provide some basic information, and you can generally go online successfully in one to five days."

  How to do it? The reporter also contacted the agent service provider nicknamed "takeaway agency" on WeChat. "By entering the takeaway platform through the agent, it only costs 1,000 to 1,500 yuan, and merchants can avoid cumbersome procedures and strict entry standards, and easily carry out the increasingly popular takeaway business" – this is the advertisement of the agent service provider.

  What should I do if I don’t have a business license? "Takeaway Agent" Reply: If an unlicensed merchant wants to open a store on the takeaway platform, they only need to provide the agent with the store name, store photo, personal ID card and handheld ID photo, bank account and other information, and mobile phone number.

  What should I do if I don’t have an actual store and just operate it at home? The "takeaway agent" replied: It doesn’t matter as long as it is on the first floor of the community, "if it is not on the first floor, it will be offline by the platform".

  Will such an operation not be discovered by the regulatory authorities? Will it be investigated? "The takeaway agency" said with certainty, "no one will come to investigate".

  The reporter found that although these agency service providers advertise their business on the Internet, they charge through micro-stores or Taobao stores.

  In the WeChat Moments of an agency service provider, the reporter found that some merchants did not pay the price after entering the platform, and their business information and personal information were directly published in the circle of friends of the agency service provider, accompanied by a sentence – "This person is operating without a license, everyone should report him".

Jackie Chan celebrates his 70th birthday, reviewing Jackie Chan in the eyes of 10 Chinese and foreign superstars


1905 movie network feature April 7, 2024 is my 70th birthday.In a blink of an eye, the kung fu superstars who grew up with several generations have also entered their infancy.



Not long ago, Jackie Chan’s appearance at an event triggered a heated debate on the whole network.A head of silver hair, gray beard, let countless fans sigh that the years are not forgiving.


But after learning about it, I found that this look was necessary for the filming of the new play "Strange Family".Jackie Chan will play an elderly man with Alzheimer’s disease in it.



Some netizens posted a Reuters video shot by "Strange Family", showing that 70-year-old Jackie Chan is still filming.Hearing the cheers of the onlookers, he also showed his trademark smile and waved in response.


"Big brother is still that big brother"!



This new film is just one of more than a dozen works on Jackie Chan’s to-be/to-be-shown list.At the age of 70, he still maintains a strong creative passion and a pure heart for movies.Except for Jackie Chan, few people can do it.



After 61 years of debut, he has produced more than 200 works, becoming the first Chinese to win the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement.Everyone knowsJackie ChanIt has long been the first Chinese film to shine in the worldA business card.


How influential Jackie Chan really is, let’s take a look at what 10 Chinese and foreign superstars see in his eyes.You know why: there is only one Jackie Chan in the world!



From studying at the age of 8 to becoming an international superstar, brother Hung Jinbao is a witness to Jackie Chan’s path to acting.Jackie Chan once said: "Others call me big brother, but I call him big brother."



Others talk about Jackie Chan always talking about hard work and achievement, while Samuel Hung is always concerned about his health and well-being.


"It’s really not easy to debut for 60 years and be so successful, but the most important thing is to be healthy, come when you can, and don’t force it if you can’t."


When asked recently what he thought of Jackie Chan’s "old state", he also responded domineering: "Who is not old? Everyone will be old! He is so happy and healthy, isn’t that okay?"




"Double Monday Cheng" jointly witnessed the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, and Chow Yun-fat also bluntly said that Jackie Chan was his idol:



"Jackie Chan is not only my idol, but also the idol of the whole world."


"Because he represents not only Hong Kong, but also the hard-working spirit of the Chinese people. With this hard-working spirit, he let people all over the world know Jackie Chan’s name."



As one of the winners of Jackie Chan’s Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, Michelle Yeoh recalls the past of working with Jackie Chan in the 1990s, which is still vivid in her mind.


"Jackie Chan seems to have unlocked the secret of everlasting youth, and he is still as honest, funny and thoughtful as he was when I first met him 30 years ago. Although time has moved forward, he has never changed."




In order to give action filmmakers the recognition and respect they deserve, Jackie Chan founded the International Action Film Week in 2015, and the first Best Action Actor was awarded to starring Wu Jing.


In his acceptance speech, Wu Jing emotionally recounted the significance of Jackie Chan to every action filmmaker.



"Action movies are about conveying emotions to the audience through action. Jackie Chan is a master in this regard. I am still imitating it. Big brother jumps more buildings than I walk."


"I will remember Big Brother’s words: the life of an action actor is short, so be an actor who can fight."




Supporting newcomers is what Jackie Chan insists on doing. He has more than once called Nicholas Tse his successor, for which the latter has always been grateful:


"When I was young, I was a fan of Jackie Chan. When I grew up, I was lucky enough to have Jackie Chan make a cameo in my first action movie. In the end, it was because of him that he achieved a good box office.


He always says that he wants to help the younger generation and give young people opportunities, which is very rare in this circle. "




From China to Hollywood, Jackie Chan has had a profound impact on a large number of filmmakers with his classic films.


Quentin is one of them. In 1995, Quentin Tarantino was invited to present Jackie Chan with the MTV Lifetime Achievement Award, and in the award speech he was generous with praise: "Jackie Chan is my hero forever" and "the greatest actor in the history of film".



"When you see a Jackie Chan movie, you want to be him. He’s the best filmmaker in the world and the best action comedian since talkie."



Like Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise is also known in the circle as "Desperate Saburo". His obsession with difficult action dramas also makes him cherish Jackie Chan heroes.



"His action movies are unparalleled, and he himself is unique."


"I have a lot of admiration for what he does, and I have something in common with him. We both want to give the audience a unique experience, and we all want to do our best for the audience."



In 2022, Brad Pitt made his first foray into action comedy. In an interview, he revealed that he has always been a huge fan of Jackie Chan, and the film was also deeply influenced by him.



"I’ve always been a huge fan of Jackie Chan, and the director and I have been talking about him for the past decade or so.


He is just like a contemporary, he is really talented, and can even be said to be a genius who is far underestimated. "


Stallone


Hollywood action star Stallone is Jackie Chan’s friend. Having starred in a large number of action classics, he is also amazed by Jackie Chan’s hard work and dedication.



"I think Jackie Chan’s movie is the ultimate stuntman can do, it’s unbelievable, even if he gets hurt, he has to give everything."


"He’s really a master. He paid a great price, and that’s why his work can become a classic."




Zhang Yimou, an internationally renowned Chinese filmmaker, has never had a film collaboration with Jackie Chan, but his brief encounter at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was enough to impress him.


"At the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, Jackie Chan was invited to sing a song, and he came to every rehearsal. The kind of rehearsal in the Olympic Games, thousands of people waited for a long time and only appeared for three minutes, but he worked hard on the stage and rehearsed with other actors. That’s how he did everything seriously to influence the people around him."


In 2005, Jackie Chan and Zhang Yimou won the Shanghai Film Festival Chinese Film Outstanding Contribution Award


"He is very dedicated at work, and his love for environmental protection, charity, and everything in life is still influencing a new generation of young people."


"There is only one Jackie Chan in the world, and it cannot be repeated. He is the pride of our Chinese people."



Indeed, whether in terms of popularity, influence or the classic degree of the work, Jackie Chan is a unique presence among Chinese filmmakers.


In an era when technology and equipment lagged far behind Hollywood, Jackie Chan made a name for himself with his unique style of action and dedication.


Not only the above-mentioned few, Schwarzenegger,,,, and other well-known movie stars have publicly expressed their admiration and love for Jackie Chan.


"Long’s Comedy" leads the trend of action movies around the world, and the family class he trains has become a mainstay of the industry.



In Hollywood movies, Jackie Chan refuses to play a Facebook character or villain, hoping to use his work to change prejudice and show the world the positive side of Chinese sunshine.


In his life, he has always been full of positive energy, adhering to environmental protection and public welfare undertakings for decades, and giving back the support and love of global audiences with actions.



In the face of age, Jackie Chan once said frankly, Of course I can retire, but making movies is interesting, and I want to make more movies.


"As long as I can still play and do it, I will definitely hope to make a movie for the audience every year!"



There is a line to the theme song of "Police Story" that goes like this: "Bet your life and leave a heroic story."


For Jackie Chan, the age of 70 is just the beginning of the next story.


For those of us who grew up watching Jackie Chan movies, we can still see how fortunate Jackie Chan’s new works are, as if our youth has never aged.


In the coming days, let’s look forward to the world’s only Jackie Chan, continuing the unique legend!

After bidding farewell to the era of Zong Qing, will Wahaha, which is "not bad for money", go public?

Zong Qinghou’s legendary business life ended.

On February 25, Wahaha released an obituary saying that Zong Qinghou, founder and chairperson of Wahaha Group, died at 10:30 on February 25, 2024 at the age of 79 due to ineffective medical treatment.

After hearing the news, many Hangzhou citizens spontaneously came to No. 160 Qingtai Street, the former headquarters of Wahaha, to lay flowers for the legendary entrepreneur. Among the many bouquets, someone brought him his favorite Wahaha products.

"There will be 1,000 Hamlets in the eyes of 1,000 people, and there will be 1,000 Wahaha in the eyes of 1,000 people," Zong Qinghou described the importance of Wahaha to him. "But for me, there is only one Wahaha. It is all the dreams of my whole life, all the meanings, values, labels and symbols, and it is the proof that I have existed in this world."

This gray six-story building has almost carried Zong Qinghou’s life. Since the "School-run Enterprise Distribution Department of Shangcheng District, Hangzhou" sign was hung up in 1987, Zong Qinghou has come to work here almost every day for the rest of his life without business trips. It is also an important meeting place for him. Media visits often find that Zong Qinghou has worked for more than an hour and slept in the office the night before.

This is the starting point of everything in Zong Qinghou, and it is also the beginning of the story of Wahaha.

At the age of 42, he started a business and created a beverage empire

Zong Qinghou first entered this small building in 1987.

In April 1987, 42-year-old Zong Qinghou with a courage, with 140,000 cash, contracted the uptown school-run enterprise distribution department, by dropshipping soda, popsicles and stationery paper earned a penny.

Many years later, Zong Qinghou recalled the scene at that time, because he did not dare to spend the only 140,000 yuan, the distribution department simply painted the walls, bought a few office desks and chairs, and opened.

This year was a turning point in Zong Qinghou’s life. In July 1987, Zong Qinghou used the sales payment of "China Pollen Oral Liquid" and a bank loan of 50,000 yuan as the original funds to establish Hangzhou Baoling Children’s Nutrition Food Factory, which processed "China Pollen Oral Liquid" for Hangzhou Baoling Company, and started Wahaha’s entrepreneurial process. At the end of November of the same year, the filling workshop with a daily output of 10,000 boxes was completed at No. 160 Qingtai Street, Shangcheng District. That year, the total sales volume was 4.36 million yuan, and the profit was 222,000 yuan. In 1990, Wahaha’s sales revenue exceeded the billion yuan mark, and the profit exceeded 20 million yuan.

Mr. Zong always described his success as "catching up with a good era."

In 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee was held, which opened the curtain on China’s reform and opening up. The surging tide came, and in the agitation brought countless opportunities to the times. At that time, Zong Qinghou was 33 years old. After more than 10 years of "manual work", he succeeded his mother to get a job in a school-run factory in Hangzhou.

Soon, the surging tide brought a big wave, rushing Zong Qinghou to the forefront of the times. In 1986, the state issued relevant regulations, proposing to "implement a variety of forms of management contract responsibility system to give operators full operating autonomy." The wave of reform and opening up was booming, and Zong Qinghou became the first to eat crabs.

In 1991, the small building at No. 160 Qingtai Street in Shangcheng District had a new name – Hangzhou Wahaha group company. Under the matchmaking of the Hangzhou Municipal Government, Zong Qinghou paid more than 80 million yuan to merge the old state-run factory with a factory area of 60,000 square meters and more than 2,000 employees – Hangzhou Canned Food Factory, creating a miracle of "small fish eat big fish". Three months after the company was established, the original loss of more than 40 million yuan of Hangzhou can factory turned into a profit, sales revenue, profits and taxes more than doubled, the second year sales reached 400 million yuan, net profit of more than 70 million yuan.

In that exciting era, everything was new. In 1994, Zong Qinghou proposed the "joint sales system" at the dealer conference, requiring first-level dealers to pay a "security deposit" in advance. After the payment is settled every month, Wahaha will continue to ship. After the sale, Wahaha returns the "security deposit" and gives dealers rebates. He also formulated a strict price difference system. Each first-level dealer must strictly implement the corresponding sales price, so that "everyone makes money".

Wahaha’s development trajectory has also become a microcosm of the big era.

In 2003, Wahaha’s revenue exceeded 10 billion yuan, making it the fifth largest beverage producer in the world. In 2012, Wahaha entered the revenue 50 billion club and reached its peak in 2013. According to public data, in 2013, Wahaha’s revenue was 78.20 billion yuan. In 2014, Zong Qinghou set a goal of 100 billion yuan. With the rapid development of Wahaha, Zong Qinghou became the richest man in China three times during 2010-2013.

Over the past 30 years, Wahaha has grown into a huge beverage empire. According to Wahaha’s official website, the cumulative sales in 35 years are 860.10 billion yuan, profits and taxes are 174 billion yuan, and taxes are 74.20 billion yuan. Wahaha has 81 production bases and 187 subsidiaries in 29 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country.

The products cover more than 200 varieties of packaged drinking water, protein beverages, carbonated beverages, tea beverages, fruit and vegetable juice beverages, coffee beverages, plant beverages, special-purpose beverages, canned food, dairy products, medical and health foods, among which purified water, AD calcium milk, nutrition fast line, eight treasure porridge are well-known national products.

"I’m not a capitalist, I’m an entrepreneur."

There are many entrepreneurs who have risen to the forefront and become trendsetters of the times, and Zong Qinghou is particularly different.

The financial writer Wu ****** once described meeting Zong Qinghou in the 1990s in "The Shanjia Man of Hangzhou": He had the face of a typical Hangzhou man, square, gentle and lacking in features. He spoke a little shyly, and when he liked someone, his only expression was to keep passing you cigarettes.

As a representative of Zhejiang businesspeople, Zong Qinghou was low-key and gentle. Even Wahaha seems to have inherited this trait from him.

In an interview with The Paper, Yang Yiqing, director of the Zhejiang Merchants Museum, believes that Wahaha’s corporate management model is very unique and can be summarized as "four nos" – that is, no loans, no listing, no vice president, and no real estate.

"He didn’t touch all the popular industries in various periods, including real estate, financial investment, and the Internet. The valuable thing is that Zong Qinghou has always adhered to his main business, and he is very confident. There is no unified model for enterprise management, and there is no standard answer. Only those that suit him are the best," Yang Yiqing said in an interview with the media.

On CCTV Finance’s "Dialogue" program, when asked why he did not choose to sell expensive products, Zong Qinghou, who is already in his 70s, answered 11 words: "I am not a capitalist, I am an entrepreneur." Referring to the reason why he did not choose to go public for so many years, he said that Wahaha is not short of money at present, and if there are projects that require large capital investment in the future, he will also consider going public. But if it goes public, it is necessary to be responsible to shareholders. It is not good for shareholders to raise money without increasing the efficiency of the enterprise.

In Zong Qinghou’s view, the real economy is the foundation of a country’s economy and the lifeblood of our country’s economy. The virtual economy is produced in the real economy and should also serve the real economy. Entrepreneurs should sink their hearts into doing business and lead the transformation and upgrading of the real economy with innovation.

Therefore, Zong Qinghou also had a famous economic dispute with Ma Yun.

In 2016, when discussing "the deep reasons why China’s manufacturing industry is facing a cold winter in 2016" and "how to revive the real economy" on the "Dialogue" program, Zong Qinghou was asked what he thought of the five major changes proposed by Ma Yun: "new retail, new manufacturing, new finance, new technology and new resources".

At that time, Zong Qinghou’s answer was: "Except for new technology, everything else is nonsense. [Ma Yun] himself is not [engaged in] the real economy, [can] make something." New technology is what the real economy should pursue, and can help the manufacturing industry from the low end to the high end.

Afterwards, when Ma Yun attended a political and business event in Nanjing, he also talked about the debate between the real economy and the virtual economy. He believes that the real economy and the virtual economy are not antagonistic relationships. Entrepreneurs must not live in yesterday and complain about tomorrow. "It is not technology that makes you eliminated, it is backward thinking that makes you eliminated, it is unwillingness to learn and self-righteousness that makes you eliminated… It is not that China’s real economy is not working, but your real economy is not working." This is considered Ma Yun’s response to Zong Qinghou’s criticism.

A month later, Zong Qinghou and Ma Yun publicly shook hands for a group photo, thus ending the "virtual and real economic dispute".

Just as Zong Qinghou chose to do the real economy, Zong Qinghou always has a sense of "down-to-earth" constancy. Since starting his business in 1987, Zong Qinghou has maintained a consistently diligent schedule for more than 30 years: working nearly 16 hours a day, going to work at 7 am, and leaving work at 11 pm.

Zong Qinghou’s early experience of working hard from the bottom also made him very thrifty. He is known for his deeds: personal consumption of 50,000 yuan per year, choosing economy class by plane, choosing a second-class seat by high-speed rail, and often not bringing secretaries and assistants on domestic business trips. Because he wears cloth shoes all year round, Zong Qinghou is also known as "the richest man in cloth shoes".

"If my’destiny ‘is to smooth the cracks and scars between the poor and the rich, if it is to present a kind of values and possibilities that enable young entrepreneurs to find their way and see even a glimmer of light, I will definitely feel that this is valuable and worth paying for without hesitation," Zong Qinghou said.

Looking for a new direction

However, in recent years, people have noticed that Zong Qinghou has undergone some changes.

Zong Qinghou, who had always claimed that he would not retire, began to take a back seat. Zong Qinghou, who had always said that he would "never go public", relented. Zong Qinghou, who had always refused E-commerce LIVE, not only started Douyin live broadcast, but also opened several e-commerce platforms at once.

At the same time as these changes, Wahaha "stagnated". In 2013, Wahaha’s revenue peaked at 78.30 billion yuan. However, just as Zong Qinghou announced in 2014 that he would hit the 100 billion target, Wahaha’s revenue plummeted to 49.40 billion yuan in 2015. Since then, Wahaha’s revenue has been hovering below 50 billion yuan, and it will not be until 2021 that Wahaha returns to the 50 billion yuan club.

In the process, Wahaha, a leader in the industry, gradually lost its advantage. In 2001, Nongfu Spring surpassed Wahaha in the market share of bottled water, and has been in the industry for many years since then. At other tracks, brands such as Wanglaoji, Jiaduobao, Master Kong, and Yili are eyeing each other, while new brands such as Yuan Qi Sen Lin have emerged with concepts such as "0 calories" and "0 sugar". Wahaha’s voice was drowned out.

Today, when it comes to Wahaha, the public’s impression is still mostly in Nutrition Express and AD calcium milk. Many people think that its products lack innovation and are not young enough. At the same time, Nongfu Spring has broken through the beverage circle with the Oriental Leaf series of tea drinks, gradually gaining the upper hand in the competition with Wahaha.

In the age of the internet economy, Zong Qinghou, who is in his infancy, seems to be getting farther and farther away from his consumers. Wahaha needs to change, and Zong Qinghou has to seek change and find a new way out.

For Wahaha, the addition of Zong Fuli is a kind of thing, and the establishment of an e-commerce platform is naturally the same.

In 2018, Zong Fuli took the initiative to join Wahaha Group as the head of the brand public relations department, in order to make Wahaha younger. Under Zong Fuli’s younger strategy, Wahaha replaced Wang Leehom, the spokesperson for more than 20 years, with a younger Xu Guanghan; Nutrition Express launched a limited colorful version and launched a limited makeup. Under Zong Fuli’s leadership, Wahaha began to cross the border and appear in more young people’s favorite circles. In recent years, Wahaha has launched AD calcium milk-flavored milk heart moon cakes, launched a joint juvenile ice cream with Zhong Xuegao, and launched a joint pH 9.0 soda with POP MART. It has also entered the e-sports circle and cooperated with League of Legends Professional League (LPL) officials and teams.

In order to keep up with the pace of the times, both Zong Qinghou and Zong Fuli have made many attempts, but the effect is not obvious. According to media statistics, in the past two or three years, Wahaha has launched more than 300 new products, but basically they cannot escape the fate of going offline at the speed of light. In recent years, Wahaha has been jokingly called the fastest company in the industry for "making babies" because of the fast speed of introducing new products. But the new big single product has not yet appeared.

Who will take over? Hangzhou state-owned assets once sought to withdraw

Zong Qinghou always had one wish – to turn Wahaha into a century-old store.

However, seeing his age getting older, Zong Qinghou began to think about the issue of succession. In 2023, on the CCTV financial "Dialogue" program, Zong Qinghou once again talked about the issue of succession: "You always have to train young people and successors. After I leave, he can continue to let Wahaha develop healthily and become a century-old store." Because it is impossible for me to keep it a century-old store. "

At the end of 2021, Zong Fuli became the vice chairperson and general manager of Wahaha Group, responsible for daily work, and Zong Qinghou remains the chairperson of the group. For Zong Qinghou, he is still waiting for a more mature opportunity.

On the show, Mr. Zong revealed that he was already gradually preparing for the shift. "Why do I have to revamp the process, the post responsibility system, and modify and improve the rules and regulations?" he said. "It is to let every employee know what he should do, to what extent, what he cannot do, what responsibilities he should take, and what compensation he can get."

In the eyes of the outside world, it is a foregone conclusion that Zong Fuli will inherit the Wahaha business empire left by Zong Qing.

On February 23, Hangzhou Wahaha E-commerce Co., Ltd. underwent an industrial and commercial change, and Zong Fuli succeeded Zong Qinghou as the company’s legal representative, executive director, and manager. Earlier, in 2021 and 2022, Zong Fuli began to serve as directors of related companies in succession. After entering 2023, Zong Fuli served as directors of related companies under 14 Wahaha Group.

From the perspective of shareholding structure, Zong Qinghou is the founder and chairperson of Wahaha Group, but he is not the largest shareholder of Wahaha.

According to Tianyancha, Hangzhou Shangcheng District Wenshang Travel Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. holds 46% of Wahaha Group’s shares, making it the largest shareholder of Wahaha Group. Behind it is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Hangzhou Shangcheng District. Zong Qinghou himself holds 29.4% of the shares, and the remaining 24.6% of the shares are held by the Wahaha employee shareholding platform. As Zong Qinghou’s only daughter, Zong Fuli has the opportunity to inherit the 29.4% stake held by her father. But she is still not the largest shareholder of Wahaha, and the matter of taking power requires the cooperation of the Wahaha employee shareholding platform.

In fact, as early as May 2006, Zong Qinghou said that it was not difficult to negotiate with the Hangzhou State-owned Assets Administration about the exit of his 46% stake in Wahaha Group. However, due to the "Dawa dispute", the talks between the two sides were forced to be suspended.

In 2023, there is a signal that Hangzhou state-owned assets intend to withdraw again. According to the bidding information inquiry platform Xunbiaobao information, in July 2023, Hangzhou Shangcheng State-owned Investment Holding Group invited tenders for the equity value evaluation and legal services of the 46% equity held by Hangzhou Wahaha Group. Among them, Wanbang Asset Appraisal won the bidding for the equity value evaluation service, while Guohao Law Firm won the bidding for the legal services of equity disposal. It is not yet known whether Wahaha Group is still negotiating this part of the equity. If this part of the equity is taken over by an external institution, Zong Fuli will take over, or it will face greater challenges.

Will Wahaha, which is "not short of money", go public?

When the owner of Wahaha Group changed from Zong Qinghou to Zong Fuli, whether Wahaha would go public became another outstanding issue.

Compared to her father, who went to the United States to study in junior high school until she graduated from college, Zong Fuli has her own way of dealing with the world – directly and insisting on herself. In company management, she attaches more importance to systems and rules and does not exclude listing.

In May 2017, China Candy, a former Hong Kong-listed company, announced that New Baili Financing would make a voluntary conditional cash offer for and on behalf of the offeror Ever Maple Flavors and Fragrances Holdings Limited (Hengfeng Holdings) to acquire all the shares in the entire issued share capital of China Candy. The only ultimate beneficial owner of the offeror, Hengfeng Holdings, is Zong Fuli. This move was also interpreted by the outside world as Zong Fuli’s attempt to go public. This also triggered speculation about the listing of Wahaha Group. Wahaha Group denied this and said that the acquisition was Zong Fuli’s personal behavior and had nothing to do with the company.

However, the offer ultimately lapsed. On July 14, 2017, Zong Fuli posted a statement on her Weibo about the "lapse of the cash offer with China Confectionery Holdings Co., Ltd." The statement said that for the company, this was a positive and constructive exploration, which provided valuable experience for the company’s future layout in related fields.

On different occasions, Zong Fuli talked about the issue of listing with an open attitude. In 2019, Zong Fuli, who is the chairperson of Hongsheng Beverage Group and the head of Wahaha Group’s brand public relations department, once again responded to her views on listing when participating in the People’s Daily Online "Ask" program. "If you are not a listed company, people will have doubts about your investment. Although we are also a big brand company, others will think that a listed company is a company with a clear and standardized process, and will be more at ease to negotiate with you. Because we have never encountered a process of capital integration. In the current market and industry environment, any large-scale development of an enterprise is operated through capital means."

Zong Fuli believes that in the future, only by combining with capital markets will it go further, which is what every company has to do. "I also want to see what capital means can bring us."

In recent years, with Zong Qinghou’s relaxation, Wahaha Group’s listing has attracted more attention, but each time Wahaha Group has denied the listing rumors.

In fact, in the current shareholding structure, it is difficult for Wahaha Group to go public. According to public information, since Wahaha implemented the employee shareholding plan in 1999, the number of shareholding shareholders has exceeded 15,000. According to the relevant regulations of IPO, when the company to be listed applies for listing, the employee shareholding plan needs to be penetrated by shareholders, and the final number of shareholders after penetration shall not exceed 200. Under the background of Wahaha Group’s "family culture", it is conceivable that it is difficult to optimize the number of shareholding of 15,000 people to less than 200 people.

Wahaha is still 63 years away from becoming a century-old store, and its road is still long.
