Research gaps: Web search budget ran out mid-task, and HKEX filings, Reuters, WSJ, SCMP, Forbes articles, WMUR/NewsNation were blocked or unreachable. So current (2025-2026) stake percentages in Nongfu Spring and Wantai could not be verified from HKEX/SSE disclosures; figures are 2020-2021. No verified philanthropy entities, private foundations, personal real estate, or trophy assets found. Nongfu 2025/H1 2026 results exist (Mar 24 / Aug 25, 2026) but figures not extracted from primary filings. Nongfu's next results date was omitted (the company reports semiannually; aggregator date unreliable).
