Zhong Yuyi, founder of Nongfu Spring, spoke out in his circle of friends tonight, saying “I recommend Xuan Yi with my blood. I spent ten years living and dying,” and also reprinted his quotes from an interview in 2015.
He said at the time, “If a company doesn't express its contribution to society through products, then what do you want this company to do? As entrepreneurs in China, what are our responsibilities? We need to create products and use our products to tell us about this society, our perceptions, and our ideals. You should calm down and do your research. Of course, because almost everyone who studies products has become poor. Because of our industry orientation, you can see that in the previous ten years, basically any entrepreneur, 90% of entrepreneurs went to real estate. It's Forbes that more than half of the rich do real estate. Because it's a place where you can get rich overnight. Any industry requires the accumulation of knowledge. If you only have money, you can enter a new industry and transform, that's nonsense”.
“I recommend Xuan Yu with my blood” comes from the last sentence in Lu Xun's poem “Self-titled Portrait”. The main expression is “I want to use my blood to express my deep love for the Chinese nation.”
