Talk:Tong Ren Tang

Factual correction

Under modern development, article wrongly named Li Ka-shing as major player.

“Hutchison Whampoa Limited invested in Tong Ren Tang Technologies’ in 2000 by subscribing six million shares in the company. Hutchison Whampoa previously had two joint ventures with Tong Ren Tang, which were already wound up.”

Li Ka Shing did not become a major player in Tongrentang’s business dealings; he/ Hutchison were not involved in their businesses at all. Hutchison Whampoa Limited (through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, North Cerney Limited) was only an investor in Tong Ren Tang Technologies’ (1666.HK, previously 8069.HK) GEM listing in 2000, and Hutchison Whampoa subscribed for 6 million shares (@HK$3.28 per share), not 60 million shares.

Beijing Tongrentang, not Tongrentang

Due to the schism in the Re family who owned the company till its nationalization, there are several seperate companies which are called Tongrentang; this article concerns Beijing Tongrentang-- even most Chinese drops the "Beijing" in usage.

The Goubuli purchase which I deleted was by a totally unrelated company, Nanjing Tongrentang, which is formed during this period of schism in the Republican era.

I think the main article should be called Beijing Tongrentang.

BTW: I edited "the oldest surviving brand name" to "one of the oldest" since the oldest is Chen Li Ji (or Chan Li Chai), which has not interrupted its business from 1600. Samuel Curtis 15:47, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

there is a Beijing Tongrentang in Australia, it claim's the 1669 foundation, but any of these divisions, to claim this as a date is a bit disingenous. Under Mao Ze Dong, all public enterprises were liquidated or nationalised. This article even states "It (TRT) remains one of the oldest surviving brand names", it's really a bit of marketing trickery a lot of Chinese brands employ 'time honoured fashion' when their real continuous history can be no longer than 60 or so years old, as they are a revival of sorts of older brands, prior to Cultural Revolution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.186.231.194 (talk) 02:55, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
