On July 18, a "Letter to All Employees of Wahaha Group" signed by Zong Fuli caused heated discussion.

The reporter of Southern Finance Express asked the relevant staff of Wahaha Branch for confirmation, but they said that they would not answer and did not know the specific situation. In addition, the relevant personnel of Hangzhou Shangcheng District Cultural, Commercial and Tourism Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd., the largest shareholder of Wahaha, also responded to the reporter of Southern Finance Express that they were not aware of the incident.

A former employee reported Zong Fuli for misappropriating Wahaha under her real name?

As the incident of Zong Fuli's resignation continued to ferment, the details of her relationship with the Wahaha Group were gradually exposed.

On July 8, a post titled "Confirmed report that Hongsheng Group President Zong Fuli embezzled huge amounts of state-owned assets from Wahaha Group" was posted on an online platform, sparking heated discussions.

The complaint letter allegedly came from "a former employee of Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd." and directly pointed out that Zong Fuli sidelined Wahaha's old employees, replaced the original management with Hongsheng personnel, directly outsourced production through Hongsheng Group, invested in factories in joint ventures with overseas investment companies, adjusted procurement routes, etc., alleging that it was all for the purpose of transferring assets.

There are 124 job change information in this year

It is worth noting thatZong Fuli does not seem to have taken over the shares of Wahaha Group yet。

The National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System shows that the shareholders of Wahaha Group include Zong Qinghou, the grassroots trade union joint committee of Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd. (employee shareholding association), and Hangzhou Shangcheng District Cultural Tourism Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. The board of directors includes Zong Qinghou, Zhang Hui, Wu Jianlin, Pan Jiajie, Yu Qiangbing and other five people, among whom Zong Qinghou is the chairman and general manager.

In addition, since this year, Zong Fuli's position changes in companies under the Wahaha Group have been extremely frequent.

According to Tianyancha, from January to July 17, 2024, there were as many as 124 pieces of information about Zong Fuli's position changes, while there were only 16 pieces of information about her position changes in 2023.

In addition, Zong Fuli has taken over the positions of legal representative of more than 20 companies, including Hangzhou Wahaha E-Commerce Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Qili Investment Co., Ltd., and Hangzhou Hongsheng Marketing Co., Ltd., since this year, but then resigned from the positions of legal representative of Guiyang Wahaha Changsheng Beverage Co., Ltd. and Guiyang Wahaha Food Co., Ltd.

Tianyancha shows that Zong Qinghou is still associated with 128 companies, while Zong Fuli is associated with 179 companies.

Lawyer: Dismissal of general manager requires board of directors procedures

So, if the major shareholder is not satisfied with Zong Fuli, can he directly "remove" her?

A Beijing lawyer said that it is the shareholders' right to question the company's management, but the vice chairman and general manager cannot be dismissed without legal procedures. Dismissing directors is the power of the shareholders' meeting, while dismissing the general manager is the power of the board of directors.
