The self-made billionaire, who was once China’s richest man, died of an illness on Sunday at the age of 79, his company Hangzhou Wahaha Group said in a brief statement, without providing further details. Victory in that bitter battle boosted Zong’s wealth to $8 billion, making him China’s richest man in 2010 and again in 2012, according to Forbes. He was nicknamed “the richest man in cloth shoes” for always sporting plain black shoes, complete with a dark jacket and slacks. That year, Zong founded the Hangzhou Wahaha Group after acquiring a failing state-run canned food factory. The dispute was eventually settled in 2009, with Danone selling its stake for about $500 million and ceding all control to Wahaha.

Dar în unele regiuni, cele de zonă albă, așa cum sunt de o săptămână Molise, Sardinia și Fuli-Venezia Giulia, cetățenii pot ieși din case fără limite. La cel mai mic nivel de risc au ajuns și Abruzzo, Veneto, Liguria și Umbria. Mai sunt și alte regiuni care se apropie foarte mult de condițiile impuse pentru a intra în zona albă și care vor putea avea această posibilitate începând cu 14 iunie. Intrarea într-o astfel de zonă albă înseamnă o revenire aproape la normalitate pentru mulți cetățeni. În zona albă, la localurile publice, nu există niciun fel de limită pentru cine mănâncă în aer liber, afară și ar trebui să se treacă de la 4 la 6 persoane la o masă în interior, dar încă nu s-a decis.
