Zhong Shanshan, born in 1954, is a clever native of Zhuji, Zhejiang. Because of his poor family, he dropped out of primary school, then became a mason and then a carpenter. After resuming the college entrance examination, I failed to pass the exam for two years and was forced to study in a TV university. After further study in TV University, he became a reporter of Zhejiang Daily. He worked in this newspaper for five years, just in time for the gold rush in Hainan, so he simply left his job without pay and began to wander around the mall. He set up stalls, sold curtains and raised prawns, but all ended in losses. Zhong Shanshan earned the first 1 barrel of gold when he was an agent in Wahaha. He made good friends with Wahaha boss Zong, and obtained the agency rights of Wahaha products in Hainan and Guangxi by using the relationship of fellow villagers.
Zhong Shanshan, with a flexible mind, found that Wahaha's products had a high price difference between Hainan and Guangdong, so he broke away from convention and began to buy and sell Wahaha oral liquid that should have been put into Hainan, and sold it to Guangdong at a high price, earning the first 1 barrel of gold in his life. But paper can't wrap the fire. When the clan learned about this, they were furious and removed his agency position. But Zhong Shanshan knows that health care products are so profitable. Later, by chance, he had a turtle soup in Hainan. As soon as he turned his head, he wanted to make turtle soup into pills, which later became a nail fish pill popular all over the country, which made Zhong Shanshan a great commercial success.
1996, 42-year-old returned to his hometown of Zhejiang, went straight to Qiandao Lake, made the well-known Nongfu Spring a little sweet, and publicly clamored for the pure water of Wahaha, saying that pure water was not good for human health. Nongfu Spring became famous in World War I, becoming the leading brand of mineral water in China, and also becoming the weapon to win the richest man in China. The farmer certainly made money, but it was his high-tech pharmaceutical company, Wan Tai Bio, that made Zhong Shanshan's wealth soar. Wan Tai Biology was founded in 199 1. Later, Zhong Shanshan bought out 95% of its shares and became the actual controlling shareholder. In 2020, Wan Tai Bio was successfully listed as a high-tech medical company. In 2020, with the epidemic raging, Wan Tai Biology began to develop COVID-19 vaccine. All this makes Zhongshan earn a lot of money. The first approved cervical cancer vaccine in China was also launched by Wan Tai Bio, and Wan Tai Bio's share price soared by 2230% last year, ranking first among the listed new shares. It remains to be seen whether Zhong Shanshan, who holds mineral water in his left hand and vaccinates in his right hand, has the strength to attack the richest man in the world.
