CNBC AI News, July 22nd – The succession saga at Wahaha, the beverage empire, has recently dominated headlines and sparked heated debate on Weibo, China’s Twitter-equivalent.
Renowned author Feng Tang even commented that Zong Fuli, the daughter of Wahaha’s founder, appeared to be employing tactics akin to those described in Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War.”
His analysis suggests Zong strategically bided her time, recognizing that the moment wasn’t ripe when she left for the U.S. at age 14. She spent eight years honing her skills through international education and gathering experience in foundational roles to build her capital – both financial and experiential.
It’s reported that Zong Fuli attended Pepperdine University in the United States.
Some netizens have expressed unfamiliarity with the university, deeming its name unwieldy and noting its relatively low QS World University Ranking, hovering near the 200 mark.
This has led some to question her choice: why bypass Ivy League institutions for a university with a seemingly average ranking and high tuition costs? Is Pepperdine a “diploma mill,” some wondered?
Pepperdine University, keen to address these concerns, issued a statement through its admissions office: Zong Fuli’s chosen field, business, is a flagship program at the university, taught by leading industry figures. Moreover, the university’s law school is widely regarded as among the best in the nation, and its networking opportunities are described as unparalleled.
Public records indicate that Pepperdine counts among its alumni Li Lianjie’s (Jet Li) daughter, Li Si, the son of Walmart’s current CEO, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Joseph Baena, and the children of United Airlines’ former CEO, Oscar Munoz.
Furthermore, Zong Fuli’s business school has been recognized by Forbes as one of the “Most Entrepreneurial” in the top ten. Its curriculum covers diverse areas such as business administration, accounting, marketing, and finance. The school’s Executive MBA program has consistently ranked among the Global Top 10 by Businessweek for three consecutive years.
