Wahaha, Wa Xiaozong, and Wa Xiaozhi's farce has just begun. Before all the actors have arrived, Wa Xiaozong announces a "timeout." As far as Wahaha dealers are concerned, today we have come to a conclusion as to what exactly they will sell in 2026——Still Wahaha. Previously, due to Zong Fuli's resignation, there was a lot of public opinion that she wanted to set up her own business and that her children would become popular. As a result, soon the world seemed to be back to the way it was before.
On the 23rd, related"Sales Company Meeting"The contents of the meeting leaked. The details are as follows:
1. The return of the deposit must be completed this week;
2. Sign a 26-year joint marketing agreement next week;
3. The agreement will clearly state the sale of Wahaha;
4. Customers whose deposit is not in place will not be allowed to sign the agreement and the cooperation will be terminated, and they will not be allowed to re-open an account in the future;
5. This month’s task is to complete the actual issuance, and the negative growth part will be included in the margin by 1.5 times. For example, a customer's annual tasks are 10 million, and the deposit needs to be paid back 1.5 million. The customer's actual tasks in October have a negative growth of 1 million, and an additional deposit of 1.5 million is required. The total deposit is 3 million. If the above conditions are met, a 26-year joint sales agency agreement can be signed;
6. The 26th Annual Dealer Conference will be held in November. The specific time, location, and participation requirements are to be determined!
The content of the meeting has been uploaded and distributed throughout the day. Some sales staff and dealers saw it in the work group before get off work.
"It's settled today, let's sell it haha." A salesperson said to Mr. Neishan. Just yesterday, he shared with Mr. Neishan, "The branch factory has ordered packaging materials, all from Wahaha, not Waxiaozong. So far, the product code of Waxiaozong has not been released, which means that you can't place an order for Waxiaozong products..."
As far as a job is concerned, this is like "clearing the clouds and seeing the light." Otherwise, when the company presses for payment, the dealers will feel unsure, and sales will be caught in the middle, which will be too difficult.
Because of the instability within the company, Zong Fuli's resignation, and the application for Waxiaozong's trademark, dealers and sales staff cannot see clearly the direction for next year. But now, will a simple notice without a seal or official document make a dealer with doubts put up a deposit?
"The area I am responsible for will make payment tomorrow." The aforementioned salesperson said that if it is determined that Hongsheng will continue to produce Wahaha, payment will definitely be made. Distributors don't care who produces Wahaha products, as long as they have Wahaha products available. "The money has been prepared for a long time. It was because of the uncertainty before that we didn't pay. Now we have publicly and clearly informed Hongsheng to continue producing Wahaha products."
In his opinion, he is not afraid of future changes. After all, the notice was sent out in large groups, although it was not stamped. "As long as dealers dare to send text messages and have proof of future lawsuits, dealers will dare. After all, all dealers and sales staff are in the group... and there are witnesses."
In fact, the policy on dealers paying deposits has been in place for more than a month. Although each area is slightly different, the core content will not change.
For example, in September, some policies were like this - regarding the 2026 sales year margin policy: 1. Margin standard: 2026 margin = (2026 tasks/10+10+ unfinished tasks in October) * 1.5 2. Deposit policy: In 2026, the deposit is required to be paid back before the end of October 2025. Customers who receive the deposit in full and on time will be given a 1.5% interest rebate after shipment, and a 2% interest rebate will be given after the excess payment is shipped. 3. Renewal of the joint sales body contract: Dealers who have paid back the 26-year guarantee in full and on time, accepted the 2026 version of the joint sales body contract, and met various basic indicators will sign a joint sales body contract for the 2026 sales year.
Of course, the policies in each region are slightly different now. "The main reason is that the time for the deposit to be in place is different. Some provinces now say it must be in place before the 25th, some this week, and some provinces by the end of this month."
What exactly is a margin?
“It’s actually a capital verification to see if the dealers have the money to run Wahaha, and at the same time solve the company’s liquidity problem,” a salesperson said. But in his view, "It's just to solve the liquidity problem. After all, the first implementation of joint sales agencies to provide deposits was to solve the company's capital problem. In other words, it is using dealers' money to make dealers' money, which is also considered as a store cheating customers."
Also leaked along with the content of the meeting was the completion ratio of deposits paid by Wahaha provinces. What is unexpected is that although nothing was clear for the rest of the month, dealers in some provinces still "supported" Zong Fuli.
Of course, there have always been differences of opinion.
"They notified me verbally. I am the only dealer in our group who has not made any payment so far." One dealer told Mr. Neishan that he was waiting for them to come up with documents, otherwise I would not make the payment. He was already scared of being tortured by them and did not believe them at all.
"In today's domestic environment, it is very difficult for a brand to work together, not to mention that the upper management is in a mess and falling apart. Do you think dealers have a good life?" he asked rhetorically.
"Regarding the deposit, the risk is extremely high this year. Dealers must ask the company to issue a document explaining that they cannot put millions into Hongsheng's account just by a word from the leader. After all, the deposit is deposited in Hongsheng's account, and Xiao Zong (Zong Fuli) has been kicked out of the Wahaha Group. Be cautious! Hongsheng Company has had too many broken promises this year. Xiao Zong and Hongsheng's senior executives have extremely no integrity..." Someone also issued such a reminder to the dealer group.
"Wahaha has degenerated into a second-tier brand and is useless." A dealer who was unwilling to pay a deposit commented.
Then, here comes the new problem. The decision has been made to sell Wahaha. Wahaha may be sold, and the deposit has been collected. But will Wahaha be easy to sell in 2026?
