After that, Shanshan relocated to the island of Hainan where he sold mushrooms, prawns, and turtles. Later, he went on to join the Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd. as a sales agent for healthcare supplements.
- On September 26, 1996, Zhong created the bottled water company Nongfu Spring.

Despite the health-related backlash that Nongfu Spring received, its sales also skyrocketed, eventually surpassing brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
