中國飲用水巨頭「農夫山泉」董事長鍾睒睒二度蟬聯中國首富!他在2021年的胡潤百富榜,以身價3900億人民幣衝上榜首,而日前胡潤釋出2022年首富排行,他再度以身價4550億元人民幣(約1.96兆元新台幣)蟬聯中國首富,且財富還比去年增加650億元,更締造了20多年來中國首富最「富」紀錄。《富比士》11月9日亦發表「中國百大富豪」榜單,鍾睒睒也以623億美元再登中國首富。67歲的鍾睒睒為瓶裝水公司農夫山泉、北京萬泰生物製藥企業的董事長,這位名字中充滿「火」的低調富豪,如何賣「水」賣到全中國第一名?《Tatler》統整6件事,帶你認識號稱「孤狼」的低調富豪鍾睒睒。

鍾睒睒出生於杭州浙江,從小求學經歷坎坷,12歲就輟學去做建築工人,一做就是10年。1980年代,他輾轉來到《浙江日報》擔任報社記者,於1988年海南經濟特區成立時,他也懷著「南下淘金夢」來到海南創業,期間他種過蘑菇、銷售窗簾,也想過辦報。而他的創業轉捩點是什麼?

2. 曾代理飲用水「娃哈哈」集團產品

鍾睒睒和「水」怎麼結緣?1991年,企業家宗慶後併吞了杭州的罐頭食品廠,成立了「娃哈哈」集團,為中國著名的飲用水品牌。當時鐘睒睒曾代理娃哈哈於海南和廣西兩地的口服液,不過他和宗慶後拆分,失去區域經銷權。這曾名列2010年胡潤百富榜中國首富的宗慶後,可沒料想到,鍾睒睒創立的農夫山泉將是他日後生意上最大勁敵。

而鐘睒睒於1993年另創「海南養生堂藥業」,販售龜鱉丸讓他聲名大噪。這些經歷讓白手起家的鍾睒睒,今日旗下產業橫跨飲料、食品、保健品、生物醫藥等多領域。

3. 創立農夫山泉 號稱「水中茅台」 8年市佔率第一

農夫山泉,始於1996年的浙江千島湖養生堂飲用水有限公司,為了抵抗當時的勁敵:娃哈哈與樂百氏流通於市面的純淨水,鐘睒睒要做出市場區隔,生產來自水井、山泉、湖泊等地開採的天然水,掀起一場「世紀水戰」,大打「天然水優於純淨水」的概念。

而天然水的取得並不容易,鐘睒睒費盡心力,讓農夫山泉在水源的掌控上處於領先地位,旗下擁有約11處水源地,獲得了11個取水許可證,3個採礦許可證,成為「大自然的搬運工」,雖其後有不少爭議,但盈利方面徹底碾壓純淨水。從2012至2019年,農夫山泉曾連續8年穩居中國罐裝水市佔率第一。

另外他以行銷策略,打響「農夫山泉有點甜」稱號,使其得到「水中茅台」之美譽。經歷26年後,農夫山泉旗下有多元產品,包含天然水、天然礦泉水、飲料產品如茶飲、流行的氣泡水等。

4. 持有兩間上市公司股權

2020年,飲用水品牌農夫山泉在港交所掛牌上市,漲幅一度超過85%,鐘睒睒身價隨之飆升。根據農夫山泉的公開財報,2021年總收益高達296.96億元人民幣,淨利潤為71.62億元人民幣(約新台幣327億元)。

5. 萬泰生物獲利

而除了農夫山泉之外,鐘睒睒另一個搖錢樹,就是同為上市公司的「萬泰生物」製藥。在2021年收入達32.8億元人民幣。

分別持有農夫山泉84%股權、北京萬泰75%股權的鐘睒睒,於近兩年聲量大漲,更衝上中國富豪榜榜首,成為賣「水」傳說。

鐘睒睒被稱為「孤狼」,當他身價超過雙馬(馬雲、馬化騰)時,甚至一度超越亞洲首富、印度的穆克什·安巴尼(Mukesh Ambani)時,大家都在問鐘睒睒是誰?這位被稱為「孤狼」的「隱形富豪」,原因在於他鮮少參與政治,也很少接受訪問或是曝光個人的消費習慣,更別提外界以為的奢侈生活。據悉,他居住在杭州西湖區離公司不遠的公寓裡,鄰近城市風景秀麗的西湖,個性十分低調。他曾說:「我是一個孤獨的人,我不在乎我的同事在做什麼或在想什麼。
