Opinion: Wahaha Was Using 'Internet Thinking' to Run Its Business Over 20 Years Ago, and You Say It's Failing? If You Disagree, Step Forward!
Recent comments across forums, WeChat, and Weibo have been rife with anxiety over Wahaha's 7% sales decline, as if the company were on the verge of collapse overnight and Zong Qinghou were teetering on the edge of losing his legacy. But is it really that serious? Without mentioning anything else, just the aspects discussed below show that Wahaha is far more adept than you think! Don't believe it?
