Two "water kings" were born in these two days:

One is Nie Yunchen, the 29-year-old founder of Xicha, the "Top 111 Rich People in Shenzhen in 2121".

One is Zhong Shanshan, the largest shareholder of Nongfu Spring, a "Maotai in the Water". After listing, his net worth will reach HK$ 287 billion, making him the third richest man in China.

The * * * common point of both of them is not only to make a fortune by drinks, but also that both of them are "non-academic". In the ranks of entrepreneurs with frequent intellectuals and returnees, both of them have become fellow travelers on the road to wealth by hard power.

Nie Yunchen, the founder of Xicha, studied in Guangdong Vocational College and started his business at the age of 19. In fact, he didn't succeed in substance from selling smart phones to opening a milk tea shop until he gained insight into the market, tapped the quality and price of products and upgraded his brand. Soon, he quickly obtained angel round financing such as IDG. Of course, this financing amounted to 1 billion! Later, it received financing from Meituan, Tencent and Sequoia.

At present, the valuation has increased by 8 times, which is the rhythm of going public properly. Before that, Nie Yunchen's worth has reached 4 billion.

there is an age difference between the post-91s generation and the post-1951s generation. The former grew up in the 21 years of rapid economic development in China, while the latter witnessed the 41 years of economic system reform in China. The times are different, but the paths of the times to create successful people are similar.

that is, there is no shortage of opportunities in every era. What is lacking is whether you have enough resources and experience before the opportunity comes.

Many people must have heard about the predecessor of Xicha-Huangcha, a tea shop that started in the streets. Nie Yunchen also fell into a dilemma due to business problems, but the dilemma became a broken situation in the hands of some people, and it broke into a butterfly. Without the original imperial tea, there would be no current tea. After the A round of 1 billion yuan, the expansion of Xicha stores was accompanied by the upgrading of the product line. In addition to seasonal drinks, there are many categories such as bread, ice cream and coffee.

after all, hi-tea is constantly upgrading and expanding the market, in order to stabilize the trading chair of the market. Of course, this is not the ultimate goal. It is not difficult to find that hi-tea may be preparing for the listing of Hong Kong stocks in the recent change of enterprise managers. The first share of "China New Tea" will eventually ring the bell, and it will be the spokesman of a new force in the new era.

As mentioned earlier, Zhong Shanshan, the major shareholder of Nongfu Spring, previously held the position of director of Health Care Hall, then served as the chairman of Nongfu Spring, and now he is the largest shareholder. But do you know what he did at first? Answer: Masons. You can understand that a bricklayer who didn't graduate from primary school started his business all the way south after failing the college entrance examination twice, and eventually became a capital tycoon worth nearly 311 billion. With the official trading of Nongfu Spring, the total market value of the company listed at the issue price of HK$ 21.5 is HK$ 255.6 billion, ranking second in the whole food and beverage sector in Hong Kong (the first is Vitasome), that is to say, Zhong Shanshan's net worth will reach HK$ 287 billion, equivalent to US$ 42 billion, surpassing Sun Piaoyang, the founder of Hengrui Pharma, who ranks third.

Finally, end the article with one sentence: Water moistens everything, and great things become nature. As a carrier, water has made these generations who have been tempered for a long time on the road of capital. The times never lack opportunities, but some people who have been storing energy for a long time have just grasped them.
