李保芳:从政府官员到全球第一烈酒企业掌舵人

Li Baofang From a government official to the helm of the world’s first spirits company

去年5月,李保芳正式接掌茅台这艘巨轮,出任茅台集团董事长一职。这距离他辞别地方宏观经济部门主官,进入茅台工作正好四年时间。2015年,李保芳入职茅台集团时,中国白酒企业正在经历近二十年来罕见的下行盘整阶段。地方党委、政府对李保芳在茅台的深耕寄予厚望。进入茅台之初,李保芳即预言茅台市场回暖指日可待。

In May last year, Li Baofang officially took over the giant ship of Maotai and assumed the chairmanship of Maotai Group. This was just four years after he bid farewell to the chief of the local macroeconomic department and entered Moutai.For a year and a half since Li Baofang took charge of the Shuaiqi, the Maotai people lived up to expectations and pushed the team to repeatedly achieve new records: the stock market value broke through the trillion mark, the stock price exceeded 1,000 yuan, and the record price of the mainland Chinese stock market was the highest. Moutai’s market value not only ranks first in the global spirits industry, but also far exceeds the total market value of all A-share listed companies, including liquor, beer, rice wine, and wine.Li Baofang and his team are not satisfied with the status quo. This year,Moutai Group’s goal is to exceed 100 billion yuan in total sales revenue and provide stronger support for Guizhou’s local economic growth.
