This performance makes the company's goal of realizing revenues of CNY50 billion and a year-on-year increase of 50% in 2009 accessible.
In 2008, Wahaha invested CNY6 billion in developing and producing new products in addition to adding 90 new production lines.

The company said it will recruit 7,000 new employees this year and these will mainly be production workers, management staff, and sales staff, because the company has developed over 1,000 new distributors. Recently, the company hired 2,000 new employees and 5,000 additional employees are still needed.
