preface
Recently, 70-year-old Dong Mingzhu revealed on the show that he had found a successor.
Since Meng Yutong resigned from Gree, Dong Mingzhu's successor has also been speculated.
The highest voice from the outside world is Wang Ziru, but I didn't expect Wang Ziru to be exposed to resign last year.
It wasn't until I saw Dong Mingzhu's current situation that I realized that Meng Yutong was really smart!
Dong Mingzhu broke the news and found a successor
Recently, the "Discretion" column released a conversation between Dong Mingzhu and Yu Minhong.
Dong Mingzhu said in the show that he had found Gree's successor, and there were three or four candidates for preparation.
In this regard, Yu Minhong said, "New Oriental has not found a successor."
Dong Mingzhu said that the oil well has several hats on different platforms and in different positions.
But the key is to have someone come out.
In fact, before this, Dong Mingzhu passed the variety show "We Are New to the Workplace".
confirmed that his "successor" was Meng Yutong.
was taken under Dong Mingzhu and became her secretary.
In November 2021, Meng Yutong brought goods for the first time in the official live broadcast room of Gree Electric Appliances.
After that, he also took Meng Yutong to participate in the China Manufacturing Leaders Summit.
Dong Mingzhu bluntly said that he wanted to train Meng Yutong to become the second Dong Mingzhu.
I hope that through my own training, one day Meng Yutong can take over his position.
Meng Yutong also became popular because of this, and after that, she was rumored to have resigned from Gree many times.
She has also refuted rumors on social platforms many times.
But in April 2023, Dong Mingzhu said that Meng Yutong was no longer her secretary.
She said that compared with the work of a secretary, Meng Yutong loves live broadcast work more.
and said that Meng Yutong has blown up to the suitable position he likes.
In May of the same year, Meng Yutong responded on social platforms that he had left Gree.
He also indicated that his next stage was to apply for graduate school and continue his studies.
After that, many netizens speculated that Dong Mingzhu and Meng Yutong had a falling out.
There was also a video of Dong Mingzhu at the induction ceremony of Gree Electric College Students.
It is suspected that Meng Yutong was mentioned again.
Dong Mingzhu said, "She has become an Internet celebrity with the help of our platform, and she has played a bad role in the company."
Later, he said in an interview that it was illegal to advertise outside in Gree.
It is suspected to hint at the reason why Meng Yutong left Gree.
However, Meng Yutong's assistant job is not simple.
She has repeatedly said on social platforms that she works long hours.
Regarding the salary, he also said that he and Gree are at the same level as fresh college students.
Basically, it's in the range of 5,000 to 10,000.
In addition to Meng Yutong, there is another person who is regarded as Dong Mingzhu's successor, that is, Wang Ziru
However, in 2023, Wang Ziru was revealed to have resigned from Gree.
Now Dong Mingzhu is 70 years old, and he has even passed the retirement age.
But there is still no good successor to Gree.
Dong Mingzhu himself has a son.
However, his son is not interested in Dong Mingzhu's career, and Dong Mingzhu's son is now a lawyer.
The outside world is also constantly discussing the matter of Dong Mingzhu's successor.
In addition, Dong Mingzhu and Yu Minhong also talked about their "strict" topic in the show.
She said that none of her subordinates dared to flatter her.
Dong Mingzhu began to look for his successor a long time ago.
But the "successors" who were selected left one after another.
Dong Mingzhu's requirements are still very high.
Gree's successors left one after another
Before Meng Yutong, Dong Mingzhu had two capable generals.
It can be said that it is Dong Mingzhu's right-hand man.
One is Wang Jingdong, who has rich experience in finance, procurement and auditing before joining Gree.
After joining Gree, he became the youngest executive.
Before leaving, Wang Jingdong also wore many hats, such as the head of finance, vice president of the company, etc.
Even in 2019, Wangjingdong's annual salary was as high as 3.6 million.
was once thought to take over Dong Mingzhu's position.
However, I didn't expect that Wang Jingdong, who had worked in Gree for 18 years, would resign.
A senior veteran employee suddenly left with an annual salary of several million.
Let the outside world speculate about the reason behind this.
One of the most credible speculations is that Wang Jingdong became a "victim" of high-level infighting.
Gree has a clear rule that the company can only have a maximum of 9 directors.
And it's already full.
But from the largest shareholder, Mingjun invested tens of billions of real money for Gree.
He needs a seat on the board of directors with the right to speak.
This means that one of the nine people who are now going to be out.
And Wang Jingdong became the one who was hungry and out.
Dong Mingzhu's other right-hand man is called Huang Hui.
Huang Hui has worked in Gree for 30 years, and can even be said to be the second-in-command of Gree Electric.
At the same time, Huang Hui is also the vice president of Gree Electric Appliances and also holds a number of important positions in Gree.
However, Huang Hui's resignation was only a voluntary departure for "personal reasons".
In fact, there have been rumors of discord between Dong Mingzhu and Huang Hui for many years.
Dong Mingzhu has always said that it is not up to him to choose a successor.
I don't know who will succeed her in the future.
Dong Mingzhu's Chen Gong function was once called "Desperate Sanniang".
Most of her life's energy is given to her career.
Dong Mingzhu also broke the news on the show that he went to a restaurant for dinner.
Seeing that the air conditioner is not Gree's, he will persuade the boss to change it to a Gree air conditioner.
Even sometimes when I see that it is not Gree air conditioning, I will choose to eat in another restaurant.
Some people think it's paranoid and stubborn, but some netizens feel that it's a kind of self-insistence.
Now Dong Mingzhu is no longer young, no matter who the successor is.
All of them affect the future development strategy and direction of Gree.
epilogue
For a long time, the issue of Gree's successor has been highly concerned in the industry.
Dong Mingzhu's statement has caused countless speculations from the outside world.
However, it is true that the successor of a business that fights like this cannot be decided in a moment.
No matter who results in this banner, they need to pass the test of Dong Mingzhu.
Today's market environment is like an unpredictable situation, and Rationale will face more challenges.
The new generation of successors will also face different difficulties!
