董明珠 风口不等于未来

Dong Mingzhu:Internet Wind Not Equals to Future

在2018年两会向总书记作汇报的时候,珠海格力电器董事长董明珠忘了提一件旧事。那是十多年前。一次,格力空调送到浙江某地的时候,被当地工商拦截,找各种理由罚款,此后这样的事情一再发生,罚款金额更是从5万上升到30万——格力难以承担如此之高的“过路费”,决定绕道而行,不过,董明珠等高管又不想就这样“妥协”,所以就给当时就任浙江省委书记的习近平写了一封信说明原委,马上批示文件就下达了,自此格力空调在这个“关卡”得以畅行无阻。董明珠对此念念不忘。2018年,她连续四届当选全国人大代表,也多次与总书记进行汇报。

For the year of 2018, Dong Mingzhu has held Gree Electric Appliances Inc. independently for 6 years. In the past 5 years, Gree's revenues have been 1.9 times that of the past, while with the 4 times profits and 15% net profit margins. According to the third party forecast, Gree's revenues might be close to 150 billion yuan in 2017.However, to some people, Gree seems a bit outdated. The references are two other home appliance enterprises that are often mentioned with Gree. Media has announced the transformation from home appliances to a technology group. And Haier is doing its self-revolution with a radical management mode. What about Gree? In contrast, there seems to be a lack of imagination in it.
