Zong Qinghou's Portrait for Forbes Asia November 2019

I had the pleasure of making the portrait of Zong Qinghou, the Chairman and CEO of Wahaha, as part of Forbes Asia China's Richest 2019 coverage. A series of portraits were taken during Forbes Global CEO Conference in Singapore last October. So happy that one of the image made it way into the cover.

Zong, who was China’s richest man in 2010, 2012 and 2013, saw Wahaha’s sales slide from 78 billion yuan ($11 billion) in 2013 to 46 billion yuan in 2017 before rebounding slightly to 47 billion yuan last year. His ownership of the company still gives him a fortune of $8.2 billion, but he is no longer No. 1, ranking instead as China’s 31st richest person. He currently aims to revitalize Wahaha.
