Question: Is China's Richest Man "Jeje Kuripot?"

Zong Qinghou: China's Richest Man Eats With His Workers and Lives on $20 a Day 

Source: www.policymic.com

Zong Qinghou is known for his simple wardrobe, gritty language from a youth spent during the height of the Cultural Revolution, and for living on $20 a day. But he is also known as the CEO of Hangzhou Wahaha Group and the richest man in China, personally worth $13 billion. Zong's lifestyle provides insight into the work ethic responsible for his company's enormous success, and provides a lesson for the more flamboyance-prone business leaders around the world.

The combination of humility and razor-sharp focus are key traits embodied by Zong that all CEOs should prioritize. Zong credits his stripped-down lifestyle to his success in business: "Focusing on doing one thing and doing it properly is the simplest but also the most difficult thing."

He has retained his position as the leader of the company since its launch, and the sales and production departments have been overseen by the same manager for the last 25 years. Zong, whose company has maintained a 60% annual growth rate since it started as a beverage producer, minimizes his distractions by limiting his choices. He sticks to a simple routine of cigarettes and tea as he proceeds through his day, overseeing an empire of 150 consumer products that produced a profit of over $8 billion in 2012.

He also detests banquets and fancy meals and eats pickled vegetables and tofu every day, and makes it a point to eat in the staff cafeteria of his company if he is not away on a business trip.

His devotion to his work clearly emerges from an unflinching entrepreneurial spirit. Even at 67, Zong shows no signs of slowing down or handing the reigns to someone else, and credits his own sense of responsibility to the company and to the products for this commitment.

His 31-year-old daughter Kelly Zong, who is now assuming a senior role in the company, has been rumored to be his successor but he shows his awareness of the fact that she has a while to go before he steps down: "If she has any problems, I’ll go and wipe her butt."

He is hailed for this salt-of-the-earth perspective and seems genuinely unfazed by his riches, which allows him to focus on the success of his company and not his own social status. When describing his wardrobe, he explains why only spends up to $2 on his plain sneakers and clothes: "People cannot tell if I were wearing clothes worth a thousand ($160) or a hundred ($16) [yuan], so why would I want to spend money on them?"

His renowned focus is oft-repeated in stories by staff, including one where an employee suggested Zong relocate his office to a lake-side near a favorite teahouse.

Zong quickly shot the idea down: "I would be absorbed in the tea and the view and forget business completely."

His Great and New Love

Image courtesy of www.background-picture.feedio.net

You can not teach an old dog new tricks – a popular saying whose meaning is hardly contestable. Literally and figuratively, people will say amen in agreement that old habits really die hard. Good and bad, habits have a way of ingraining in our system such that getting out of them becomes a brave, bold struggle.

Such is the case of Hunk Actor – HA. Time and again, he kept promising every girl his undying love and commitment, yet loses it as fast as he sees another desirable one coming. The young HA seems not to have learned enough, even as he just hardly survived the onslaught of bashers from his latest relationship of months ago.

Reportedly, HA’s latest conquest is a Daughter of a Media Executive DE. How will his Current Love – CL take it if she knew that HA’s trysts with DE at DE's posh condo are done so often and with such passion? Reportedly, HA and DE are so wild to the extent that they even use gadgets and props to get them burning with pleasure. How is that, CL? Surely you must have seen this coming, haven’t you?

Loyalty is only for dogs – does HA subscribe to this? Early on, observers were one in saying that HA was not cut out for fidelity. His playing with several girls while in a supposed committed relationship nailed it all. Years and several girls after, HA is still that powerless. Given the facts and evidence to his face, looks like HA’s only power lies in his skill of denying when caught, even as he looks stu**d doing so.

Indeed, with fame comes pain, as he now seems to be overpaying his dues. HA should not squander his youth and good looks mindlessly– for he will definitely pay for it dearly in the end.

Letter from a Reader: I Prefer Cristine Reyes Over KC Concepcion for Darna

Image courtesy of www.en.wikipedia.org

Dear Fashion PULIS

I heard from DZZM teleradyo that KC Concepcion will be the one who will portray Darna. Okay... Cristine Reyes was not really my bet since she doesn't live up to my expectation, but KC Concepcion? Come on! I'd rather choose Cristine over KC. In my humble opinion, Cristine is way better than KC. Her body, her curves, her everything is just perfect (not her attitude and prolly her complexion as well, but seriously, ABS-CBN need to stop giving projects to someone who does not only "fit" the description, but also does not know how to freaking act- though I have to commend KC for playing a kontrabida role because it perfectly fits her character and her real attitude).

I don't know if this true, BUT the hosts of MISMO said that it was already confirmed... so I guess I will no longer look forward to watching Darna. The title should even be changed to DRABNA or DRAGNA.

Causing Another Repulsive Commotion

Image courtesy of www.twitter.com

When couples take the plunge, the vows for better and for worse are supposed to be forever. Their union was welcomed by the public. The dashing groom -DG has always had a good reputation in showbiz, and everyone thought he would be good for the bride - TB.

However, as years passed and TB's career going on a downhill, the public sensed that the once perceived perfect marriage was cracking up. TB began displaying a different and unbecoming personality in public. Despite this, DG stood by her and did not bother to respond to rumors involving TB, her alleged other men, her questionable habits, and their marriage.

As events slowly unfolded, the public finally realized the marriage had failed. DG left their conjugal home, while TB kept getting involved in controversies such that she always made it to showbiz headlines - further diminishing her credibility. By contrast, DG seems to have the public behind him by not talking as much despite all the allegations thrown at him by TB’s camp. Thus, anything that TB says is taken with a grain of salt.

When DG and TB created a commotion in their village that caused a major traffic jam, onlookers were surprised to see DG in his SUV with his shirt all tattered up. Earlier, TB did not want DG to leave so she jumped on the hood of his vehicle. When DG started on the engine, TB fell on the pavement. DG apologized, picked her up, and took her inside the house. Soon after, as DG walked back to his vehicle, TB followed him holding an object. Then, she started hitting another car of DG that was parked in their home. As their anger heated up, so were the angry words that were exchanged. DG was overheard saying that no man in his right mind will ever want to be involved with TB!

While most married couples would want to fix their marriage privately, DG and TB are doing the opposite, treating the public as their playground for their misbehavior that could embarrass their children as well. While their marriage seems hopeless at this point, can they still salvage whatever little respect they have for each other?

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it’s not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long. – Amy Grant
