Wahaha plummeted by more than 20 billion yuan, and the Nutrition Express is still struggling to support its performance

"2016 China’s top 500 private enterprises released the report" shows that in 2015 Wahaha operating income 49.40 billion yuan, compared with 2014 revenue plummeted more than 20 billion yuan, causing industry attention.

Industry analysts believe that the real main reason for Wahaha’s decline in performance lies in its aging brand, lack of star products, and too single market.

Revenue plummeted by more than 20 billion yuan 

2015 revenue plummeted more than 20 billion yuan, equivalent to losing the entire nutrition fast line, Wahaha performance decline once disclosed quickly caused concern and concern in the industry. According to publicly disclosed data, 2013-2015 Wahaha revenue were 78.30 billion yuan, 72.80 billion yuan and 49.40 billion yuan, showing a downward trend year by year.

Regarding the plunge in revenue in 2015, Wahaha responded that the main reason was that the data of Hongsheng Beverage Group Co., Ltd., which was controlled by Zong Qinghou’s daughter Zong Fuli, was not consolidated. In addition, online rumors and product transformation and upgrading also had a certain impact.

The official stressed that Wahaha’s current production and sales are normal, and the company has paid 3.10 billion yuan in taxes to the state from January to July this year. "Not only does the company not have a penny of bank loans, but it also has tens of billions of yuan in deposits."

Zong Qinghou said recently that the beverage industry is facing a downward trend. Wahaha’s growth rate fell from more than 20% in previous years to 4% last year and only 2% in the first half of this year. For the reason of the decline, Zong Qinghou concluded that it was affected by malicious attacks on online rumors.

"China’s beverage industry will always be a sunrise company, and as long as it is done well, I think it will always develop healthily. Because no matter what, people always want to eat and drink."

Nutrition Express still supports Wahaha’s performance

In Wahaha’s entire product system, there is an over-reliance on individual products. According to Wahaha’s previously disclosed figures, as of the end of 2014, Wahaha had a total of more than 100 categories of milk beverages, bottled water, carbonated beverages, tea beverages, juice beverages and functional beverages. Among many products, Nutrition Express, which has a product age of nearly ten years, is still the largest single product supporting Wahaha’s performance.

According to public data, the sales of Nutrition Express in 2013 exceeded 20 billion yuan, which means that this single product alone contributed about 1/4 of Wahaha’s performance. The previous online rumors that Nutrition Express contains Botox also caused Wahaha’s performance to suffer, and the revenue loss was said to be as high as 5 billion yuan.

According to industry insiders, the sales performance of old products such as Nutrition Express, AD calcium milk, and purified water has accounted for more than half of Wahaha’s overall revenue, and the market performance of these large single products is also declining. With the rise of new beverage brands, Wahaha Nutrition Express’s market share is also gradually shrinking. In the bottled water sector, brands such as Nongfu Spring and China Resources Yibao have made competition more intense and continue to occupy Wahaha’s market share of purified water.

Food Industry Researcher, China Brand Research InstituteZhu Danpeng believes that the aging of the Wahaha brand is manifested in three aspects: first, Zong Qinghou is still addicted to the business philosophy of the late 1990s and early 2000s; second, the entire Wahaha executive team has been working hard with Zong Qinghou for many years and has been assimilated seriously. It cannot make changes in time for market changes; third, market research and development is "like a boiled frog", innovation is delayed, and the success rate of new products is getting lower and lower.

Wahaha’s self-help requires innovation

With the decline of the third- and fourth-tier markets and more intense competition, since the end of 2015, Wahaha has seen its own shortcomings and decided to make up for the shortcomings of the mainstream market in first- and second-tier cities. Subsequently, Wahaha launched some new products to meet the needs of first- and second-tier mainstream consumer groups. Wahaha launched some new beverages, such as C drive, coconut milk vegetable protein drink "Come and squeeze", blood orange juice, etc., but failed to win market recognition.

For Wahaha’s new strategy, Zhu Danpeng is not very optimistic, believing that Wahaha’s brand power and recognition in first- and second-tier cities have declined very severely. At present, Wahaha’s brand recognition and price positioning are mainly in third- and fourth-tier markets, but in the price range of more than 5 or 6 yuan, Wahaha basically has no products.

For Wahaha’s future prospects, industry analysts believe that if it fails to achieve brand rejuvenation, product innovation, and a redefinition of its marketing model, Wahaha’s performance will accelerate its decline.

The high-end drinking water of Nongfu Spring points to Evian and Paris water, but it encounters resistance from residents of the water source

Interface News, Text | Food Headlines, Li Ke

Editing | Orange

The sales of its own high-end drinking water are not good. In order to "save the country by the curve", Nongfu Spring purchased a water source land in New Zealand. I didn’t expect that as soon as it was excavated, it encountered widespread resistance from the public. In fact, Nongfu Spring is not the only Chinese company targeting the water source in New Zealand. With the "joint efforts" of these companies, New Zealand is in danger of being "hollowed out".

01. Thousands of people "boycotted" Nongfu Spring

On Sunday, residents of the northern New Zealand city of Tauranga held a protest against "foreign-owned enterprises" collecting and bottling water in the local area. People placed more than 2,000 waste plastic bottles on Mt Maunganui Beach and pulled out various banners. The scene was quite spectacular.

Protesters said the campaign was aimed at a series of water extraction operations in New Zealand carried out by Cresswell NZ (hereinafter referred to as: Creswell), a factory owned by the Chinese company Nongfu Spring.

Heidi Hughes, a spokesperson for the protest group, said, "We just wanted to show it to everyone, 2,000 bottles, which is the number of bottles produced per minute at Cresswell’s new Otakiri factory."

However, Cresswell, a subsidiary of Nongfu Spring, immediately denied the claim. Food Jun noticed that Michael Gleissner, managing director of Cresswell, said in an interview with foreign media that the figure was "very exaggerated because the factory does not operate 24 hours a day."

According to public information, in October 2016, Creswell, a wholly-owned New Zealand company owned by Nongfu Spring, was registered; in June last year, Creswell officially purchased the "Otakiri Springs" bottled water factory near Wakatani, North Island, New Zealand. The company’s water source is taken from deep underground, and its products include gas-containing and non-gas, and are available in glass bottles and PET packaging specifications. According to Otakiri’s official website, both gas-containing and non-gas-containing 300ml bottled drinking water are priced at 3 New Zealand dollars (equivalent to about 13 yuan).

At the same time, the New Zealand government approved Cresswell’s expansion plans. Cresswell reportedly plans to build two more bottling plants in nearby Murupara, and hopes to increase groundwater extraction from 2 million litres per year to 580 million litres per year, a 290-fold increase in capacity; to this end, the company intends to buy and lease 6.2 hectares of land in Otakiri.

According to a New Zealand media report, "China’s bottled water giant has been approved by the government to purchase the Bay of Plenty, and the annual extraction capacity exceeds 1 billion liters of drinking water, most of which will be exported to China." According to the data released by foreign media, Creswell’s production capacity will increase by an astonishing 500 times.

Cresswell’s expansion plan will also add extra freight trucks to the area, adding to the pressure on local traffic. "Cresswell’s materials indicate that the plant will have 200 trucking trips a day, which translates to one truck and trailer passing by every three minutes," said Heidi Hughes. "We’re really crowded here already."

More worrying for the local population is the "low-cost plundering" of New Zealand’s water resources by Chinese companies.

Under New Zealand law, freshwater that flows naturally is considered a public good, and "no one has ownership of the water", so water is free. Household water only needs to pay for the maintenance of water pipelines; commercial water such as agriculture and horticulture needs to apply to regional councils for resource permits and pay a nominal fee. Water is usually extracted in daily or annual rations, with flow caps attached.

It is worth noting that because New Zealand’s water is a public good, it doesn’t cost money to pump it into mineral water and export it to other countries.

The latest poll by New Zealand research agency Newshub-ReidResearch shows that 87% of New Zealanders are unhappy that exporters get water almost free and then export it abroad for a large profit.

In the face of various "doubts", the official of Nongfu Spring insists that the exploitation of local water resources is reasonable.

"There is an error in the description of the amount of extraction in the above foreign media reports. The total amount applied by Nongfu Spring does not exceed 1.10 million tons per year. The local groundwater resources are abundant, and 35% of the total amount can be used for water extraction; while the maximum amount applied by Nongfu Spring only accounts for 4.9% of this 35%, which will not affect the local groundwater. This amount of extraction is a normal and reasonable amount for a large-scale bottled water production plant, and it can completely maintain sustainable development." Zhou Li, secretary of the board of directors of Nongfu Spring joint stock company, told Food Jun.

02. High-end is not conducive to overseas "learning from experience"

In recent years, Nongfu Spring, China’s largest producer of bottled water, has targeted the New Zealand market. The New Zealand government has also "welcomed Nongfu Spring". For example, the New Zealand Trade Development Agency has provided significant assistance to China’s Nongfu Spring Company to enter the New Zealand market.

In August 2015, after receiving the invitation of the New Zealand Trade Development Bureau, the senior management of Nongfu Spring officially went to New Zealand. What attracted the attention of the outside world was that Zhong Shanxuan, the head of Nongfu Spring, also came to New Zealand, which was enough to prove the attractiveness of the New Zealand market to Nongfu Spring. The Otakiri Springs bottled water factory was favored by Nongfu Spring’s senior management at that time, and the Nongfu Spring delegation even took samples of bottled water produced locally and brought them back to China.

In April 2016, during a visit to China, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key met with 10 Chinese entrepreneurs in Shanghai, among whom Zhong was one, and the two discussed Nongfu Spring’s investment in New Zealand.

Documents released under the Official Information Act show that officials at the trade development agency are not only nominally supportive of Nongfu Spring, but also involved in many specific processes. Under the arrangement of the trade development agency, the New Zealand authorities approached Nongfu Spring and listed suitable water plants for acquisition. In total, the trade development agency has offered Nongfu Spring five potential acquisition targets. Two of them are ready-made bottled water plants, and the remaining three are also promising.

Smart Home Baby Bus! Extreme krypton MIX Beijing Auto Show debut, with high space expansion.

Focus on the 2024 auto show-booth. At this year’s auto show, apart from the new car 007 and the high-definition version of the extreme krypton 009 market, the extreme krypton also brought its fifth production model, the extreme krypton MIX.

At the star-studded 2024 Beijing Auto Show, the world premiere of the krypton MIX not only attracted many media and insiders to watch and experience it, but also Zhou Hongyi, the "uncle in red" who recently made a big splash, and Li Xiang, the founder, all came to the krypton booth to deeply experience this new car. What kind of strength does the extreme krypton MIX from the vast -M architecture rely on to catch the wealth of the sky?

Even if you don’t feel anything about the extreme krypton cars and new energy vehicles, when you happened to pass by the extreme krypton booth at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show and saw this extreme krypton MIX, I think it’s hard not to be "entangled" by its high turn-back rate.

The official positioning of the extreme krypton MIX is "cross-border SUV". Under the outline of the minimalist design language of Hidden Energy, the extreme krypton MIX takes the form of "big bread" as the keynote, and after integrating the STARGATE integrated smart light curtain and canceling the traditional door opening method, the whole appearance is really full of scientific and technological sense.

By the way, the extreme krypton MIX also cancels the traditional B-pillar design and door handle of the car body, and adopts a split sliding door design, and the switch mode is a push-button electric switch. Especially when the car door is open, the turn-back rate of the extreme krypton MIX will inevitably not be low.

Moreover, the unique body design of the extreme krypton MIX also makes it have many advantages when catering to family travel scenes. For example, a larger door opening and closing angle and a lower boarding threshold will have more advantages for the convenience of getting on and off for the elderly, children, pregnant women and other groups when they are used for family trips.

In addition, with the body size of 4688/1995/1755mm, the extreme krypton MIX has achieved a wheelbase of 3008mm, which is not only the longest in its class, but also the cockpit utilization rate of the extreme krypton MIX exceeds 80%.

It is worth mentioning that in terms of the safety concerned by the consumer groups of family cars, Extreme Krypton has never lost points. Even if Extreme Krypton MIX cancels the traditional B-pillar of the car body, the safety optimization such as triangular double A-pillar, multi-layer steel-aluminum sill beam and ultra-high-strength seamless steel column double B-pillar also makes Extreme Krypton MIX meet the global five-star collision requirements.

From the interior visual point of view, the MIX center console maintains the same design language as the family members. In the back row, the new car provides a unique "ever-changing space" for the family. In terms of seats, the low version of MIX is a five-seat layout, and the high version is a four-seat layout. In addition to a fully flat floor, the car also provides a main and passenger seat that can rotate 270 degrees without pole.

Judging from the official map of MIX, in addition to the back row with leg rests and handrails, the central guide platform of the new car also has many extension properties, such as rotating the front seat of MIX and extending the guide platform out of the small table board when enjoying a parent-child outing, which can change the outdoor dining table of the whole family in seconds.

In terms of other configurations, in the extreme version of MIX, we will see the high-level intelligent driving with laser radar, including the rear leg rest exposed by the official map, which will also be exclusive. In terms of power, at present, MIX has applied for a rear-drive single motor version, with a total motor power of 310kW. The detailed accelerated performance and pure electric cruising range have not been officially announced.

However, it can be expected that even if it is a single-motor version of the krypton MIX, its acceleration performance will not be bad, and its driving and control performance will be flexible enough. After all, the vast -M platform has also brought a front wheel steering angle of over 50 degrees to the extreme krypton MIX, and the minimum turning radius will be less than 5 meters. For many novices or treasure moms who pursue flexible driving and convenient parking, the extreme krypton MIX will undoubtedly be more friendly in the same class.

Generally speaking, the brand-new model, the Extreme MIX, was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, mainly to "show muscles" and pave the way for the launch of new cars. With the electric drive platform+cross-border SUV attribute, the MIX has considerable space and high playability, which is almost unmatched in its segmentation field. Next, the key to determining whether this "smart home baby bus" can sell well may be pricing and pure electric cruising range.

Lynk & Co 03 + officially listed, priced 18.58-22 8,800 yuan

  [Aika car, new car on the market, original]

  On August 2, 2019, the highly anticipated (|) + was officially launched.A total of 3 models were launched this time, with a price range of 18.58-22 8,800 yuan.As a leading performance model, the 03 + not only has a very sporty appearance, but also with the support of a 2.0T high-power engine, it has an excellent performance of 5.9s acceleration per 100 kilometers, which is very good in domestic independent brand models.

  In terms of styling, Lynk & Co 03 + can be seen as the latest interpretation of the design concept of "urban opposition aesthetics". Its most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the sports surround. The designer has added a guide trend on both sides of the front bumper, which can not only sort out the turbulence at the front wheels and optimize the air effect, but also with the slightly protruding front lip below, which proves the identity of its performance car. And almost all blackened color treatment, I believe that with any color of car paint can bring fierce visual effects.

  The Lynk & Co 03 + is also equipped with a side skirt on the side of the body, and the "+" logo is added to the C-pillar position. With 18-inch two-color multi-spoke wheels, the sporty feeling is greatly enhanced. In addition, the color around the windows, the color of the rearview mirror shell and the color of the door handle of the Lynk & Co 03 + are all black, which is full of performance style. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Lynk & Co 03 + are 4677 (4692)/1840/1461mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2730mm.

Lynk & Co 2019 Lynk & Co 03

  The tail highlights of the Lynk & Co 03 + are too many. First of all, the "LYNK & CO" logo is embedded between the energy crystal taillights, which has a strong recognition whether it is lit or not. The large-sized rear wing and bottom diffuser are not only sporty, but also bring better aerodynamic performance to the Lynk & Co 03 +. The two-sided exhaust layout has almost become the standard of performance cars. With the support of so many accessories, the Lynk & Co 03 + will have a lower drag coefficient, and the maximum speed downforce has been increased from 11kg to 40kg, which greatly improves the handling stability and performance.

  Fighting interiors

Lynk & Co 2019 Lynk & Co 03

  The overall layout of the Lynk & Co 03 + interior has not changed, but if you want to attract performance fans, the visual impact must be done in place. The embellishment of green colors can highlight the sense of sports, and the use of Alcantara materials is not only to look good, but also to provide greater friction when driving intensely. Personally, I think the Lynk & Co 03 + should add some carbon fiber materials to the interior. After all, it is a performance car, and it feels like something is missing without carbon fiber.

Although it is a brand new brand, the background is too fierce, it sounds like a big gathering of science students, and it is also a top science student. It has all the mathematics and physics, and it seems that it can get high marks as soon as it is shot.

  There is another important thing to explain, we have touched the test car, but this is a test car, and it is still a relatively early test car. Last time we have simply driven this batch of cars in the factory’s venue (video below), the large screen of this car and most of the driver assistance systems cannot be experienced, because these functions are not available on it. In addition, in some configurations, the final production car will be adjusted, that is, it will be a little different from the test car we saw today. So next we mainly look at the design, experience the space, and drive the car on the road to briefly feel its dynamic performance.

  When it comes to charging, the Ningde era of the three giants should make efforts. First of all, Avita 11 currently has 90kWh and 116kWh capacity battery packs, using ternary lithium batteries, of which 116kWh battery pack energy density is as high as 190Wh/kg. The most lethal is that the first high-voltage ternary system 2.2C fast charging battery in China is the Avita 11, with a charging voltage range of 400V~ 750V.

  In addition, Avita will jointly build a high-voltage fast charging network with energy company BP. At that time, the power of this high-voltage fast charging network can reach 480kW in a single station, the maximum power of a single gun can reach 240kW, and the battery life can be 200 kilometers in 10 minutes. This network will cover 19 cities in the future, with more than 100 total stations. This is also a great experience. We will definitely bring you the experience as soon as the fast charging network is launched.

  The wheel design is not particularly personalized, but the momentum is definitely enough, because the size is quite large, the entry model is already 21-inch wheels to start, our test car is still in the trial installation stage, so it is equipped with the top model above the 22-inch wheels, the actual production car should be equipped with 21-inch wheels. In terms of tires, it is equipped with Continental PremiumContact 6 tires, the tire size is 265/40 R22, this tire positioning is not low, it has low rolling resistance and excellent comfort and other characteristics, and it also helps a lot in improving the level of corner control.

Founder of Nongfu Spring, Official Response

  In response to the recent online discussion of Nongfu Spring and Wahaha’s past, Nongfu Spring finally has a formal response.

  Yesterday evening (March 3), the founder of Nongfu Spring, Zhong Shanyuan, posted an article on the official WeChat of Nongfu Spring entitled "Zhong Shanyuan: I have three things with Zong Laoer", responding to the controversy related to Wahaha and Zong Qinghou.

  First, to clarify the rumor that the "first pot of gold" came from Wahaha, Zhong Shanxuan said that his first pot of gold did not come from Wahaha, but from the cloth business. As for the statement of "being fired for flushing goods", Zhong Shanxuan introduced some details in the article and said, "I have never received a salary in Wahaha, let alone been fired for flushing goods."

  Regarding the "dispute between natural water and pure water", which has been quite controversial on the Internet recently, the article mentioned that after 2000, the dispute between natural water and pure water was boiling. As the two "protagonists" of the dispute, Wahaha and Nongfu Spring clarified their respective positions and product propositions in the dispute, and both achieved certain results in the follow-up. "Since then, we have litigated each other, but in the end Zong Lao and I shook hands and made peace under the witness of the main leaders of Hangzhou at that time." Zhong Xuanyi said that to this day, he still insists that the mineral elements in water are essential to human health, which is why he insists on producing natural water. "However, my respect for Zong Lao’s entrepreneurial spirit has never wavered."

  Previously, the death of Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha, caused countless netizens to mourn. At the same time, Wahaha’s rival Nongfu Spring has also become the focus of people’s "criticism" and even criticism. There are more and more remarks on social platforms about Zhong Xiangxuan "who used to be a dealer under Zong Qinghou but was fired for changing", and even "farmer and snake". One-sided comments also caused Nongfu Spring to fall into a "word-of-mouth crisis".

  Zhong Yuanyuan said at the end of the article that he hoped that while the majority of netizens expressed their thoughts on Zong Lao, they would not be influenced by individual self-media or big Vs. No matter Wahaha or Nongfu Spring, they always adhere to the same thing: to produce good products for the common people.

Canal Appreciation | Meitu: Canals in Summer

  The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the longest and largest man-made canal in the world, and it is also one of the oldest canals. Together with the Great Wall and the karez, it is known as the three great projects of ancient China. It is a great project created by the working people of ancient China and one of the symbols of Chinese cultural status.

  The location of the canal in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the direction of its main stream.

  According to the records, as early as more than 300 years ago, Siyang Zhongxing Town was used as a key point for water transportation, a place where officials, merchants, and Zao Gang boatmen traveled on boats and horses, or went to the three gates in the south to experience risks, or came to the north to be in shock, all of which had the psychological need to pray and hope. There were Fujian people who built a palace on Mule Street to worship the statue of Mazu, and it was originally called "Tianfei Palace". It was a meeting place for Fujian merchants to develop business, and it was also a place for them to pray and worship. Later, Emperor Kangxi gave it the seal and renamed it "Tianhou Palace". The whole group of buildings of Tianhou Palace was originally three-way, and now there are the front hall and the main hall. The eaves of the front hall are stoned with "Haiyan" and "Heqing", and the calligraphy is dignified and elegant, which sustains the deep prayers of the people There is an open-air stone statue of Mazu in the courtyard, wearing a phoenix crown, holding Ruyi in the hand, solemn and kind, elegant and handsome facing the canal, as if walking on the waves.

  Here has also become the only Mazu cultural relics on the Thousand Miles Canal. The temples here are managed by Buddhist people, and the statues in the main hall are also unique. Mazu sits in the front, followed by Sakyamuni Buddha, and is incense by Buddhist believers at all times.

  The Middle Canal, the northern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Jiangsu, and the Yishusi river system. It was rebuilt on the basis of the Canal and the Middle River excavated in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It starts at the junction of Taierzhuang District, Shandong Province and Pizhou City, Jiangsu Province, and is connected to the Hanzhuang Canal. It flows through Pizhou City in the southeast, and is connected to Luoma Lake from Erwan to Zaohe Gate in Xinyi County. The following Zaohe Gate is basically parallel to the abandoned Yellow River, flowing through Suqian, Siyang, and Huaiyin Yangzhuang. It is 179 kilometers long and has a basin area of 6,800 square kilometers.

  The main tributaries are: Bulao River, Picang Floodway, Laoxi River, Chenghe River, Fangting River, Minjian River, etc. There are cascade hub projects (including control locks, ship locks and pumping stations) along the Zao River, Suqian, Liulaojian, and Siyang.

  Before the Qing Dynasty, the Middle Canal was mainly a water transportation route. After liberation, it became a comprehensive river channel such as flood discharge, drainage, shipping, and water transportation. It was a part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and a water transportation channel for the east route of the South-to-North Water Diversion, which promoted the economic development of the riverside areas.

  The single-engine ships sailing in the channel, the fleet is like a long dragon carrying more than 10,000 tons of cargo. The smallest island in the channel, the entire island is only 100 square meters.

  The water quality of the canal is excellent, and the water in the canal can be drunk directly. There are scenery on both sides of the canal, and now it is time for gardenias to bloom.

  The boat on the canal, the boss of the boat is here to pick up fishing enthusiasts, and there are people all over the country who go fishing by the middle canal.

  In summer, the weather is changeable, and there are sudden thunderstorms, and fishermen with rainproof gear head home. Fishing in the river in summer is also very dangerous. They used to use small wooden boats, and the traditional skill of building wooden boats has been lost. Now most of them are steel boats, and the potential danger comes with it.

  The people living by the canal are particularly happy, with beautiful scenery everywhere, culture every step of the way, and the extensive and profound canal culture has been passed down from generation to generation!

  By the canal, there are exciting scenes everywhere.

  The Grand Canal in the setting sun is quiet and comfortable, vast and far-reaching… This golden waterway will be even better tomorrow!
