Despite its rich potential, if we merely treat it as a concept, once the trend fades, its development will regress to square one.

Zong Qinghou Has No Specific Retirement Plan, Daughter Zong Fuli Still Single at 37

The daughter may not necessarily be the successor. On April 21, Wahaha Group responded to reporters that 'Mr. Zong (Zong Qinghou) currently has no specific retirement plan.'

Reports said that stepping back to the second line does not mean full retirement, as Zong Qinghou stated, 'Full retirement may not be realistic. After getting used to it, suddenly doing nothing would cause problems. I think I will step back to the second line in the future. Let them work in the front, and I will watch from behind. If there are deviations, I will correct them.'

Blue Moon: Can't Sell Laundry Detergent?

Blue Moon successfully pioneered the laundry detergent category in 2010, but over time, its early category dividend advantage has been eroded by competing brands. To distance itself from competitors again, Blue Moon launched 'Machine Wash Supreme' concentrated laundry detergent in 2015. Four years later, despite continuous marketing efforts, the product has seen little success. This good-faith product has missed the opportunity to iterate against competitors due to a flawed strategy. To verify the effectiveness of Machine Wash Supreme, the author bought a set from the supermarket and conducted an experiment: applying red and black ballpoint pen marks on white clothing, letting it dry, then applying the treatment and detergent, and observing the stain dissolve quickly.

However, one trading company abolished the salesperson role and replaced it with a merchandiser role, solving these problems. How did they do it? What are the staffing and management logics behind this simple change in job title and responsibilities? Recently, I saw Qiang Huitao, founder of Dunjie Supply Chain, posting on his Moments: recruiting merchandisers.
