Zong Qinghou, chairman of food and beverage giant Hangzhou Wahaha
Group, is recovering from injuries to his left hand after Friday's
attack in the eastern city of Hangzhou, the official Xinhua News Agency
said on Wednesday.
Citing Hangzhou police, Xinhua identified the
suspect as a 49-year-old migrant worker surnamed Yang and from the
neighbouring province of Jiangsu. It said Yang borrowed 30,000 yuan
(about $A5372) earlier this year and travelled to Hangzhou in search of
work.
Yang sought out Zong, 67, near his home after watching a
television program about the businessman's assistance to migrant workers
and asked the man for a job with his company, Xinhua said.
It said Yang attacked Zong after his job request was turned down.
Zong had been China's richest man, but fell to the second place this
year with total wealth of nearly $US19 billion. He founded Wahaha and
built it into China's largest beverage manufacturer.
