At the beginning of 2022, new personnel changes occurred in BAIC Group.
According to media reports, Liu Yu, chairman of BAIC BJEV, was promoted to deputy general manager of BAIC Group, and Gong Yueqiong, chairman of Foton Motor, was also promoted to deputy general manager of BAIC Group. Oxcart Network first asked the relevant persons of the public relations department of BAIC Group on this matter, and as of press time, it has not received a reply. However, through the query, it was found that in the encyclopedia introduction of a search platform, Gong Yueqiong's job information has been updated.
Since Jiang Deyi, chairman of BAIC Group, took office in July 2020, the group has made many personnel adjustments. The promotion of the two young managers is also an important part of Jiang Deyi's active promotion of the group's internal reform. Previously, he set up an autonomous special class and improved the group's financial situation through the "Slimming and Fitness" initiative.
An interesting phenomenon is that BAIC Group issued an official notice on October 26, 2021, to select two professional managers in a market-oriented manner, and the positions selected are the deputy general managers of BAIC Group, one in charge of its own brand, and one in charge of production and operation. It also reveals that under the leadership of Jiang Deyi, BAIC Group wants to absorb more high-end talents in society through the market-oriented path.
Three months after the market-oriented recruitment notice was issued, BAIC Group still appointed two vice presidents through internal promotion. At present, it has not been clarified that these two vice presidents are the two positions previously recruited for the society.
Querying the resumes of the two can be seen that Liu Yu and Gong Yueqiong are both post-75 executives, but at the same time, they have been working in the BAIC system for many years, and Jiang Deyi hopes to reform the group management system by promoting young executives, and the future development is still a long way to go.
Judging from the business development of various sections of BAIC Group, the situation is still very grim. As the Group's "profit cow", Beijing Benz is currently the only profitable segment in the Group's passenger car business. Baiqi Group increased its stake in Daimler Group to 9.98% in 2019, which also shows its full desire for "profit cows". However, with the liberalization of the auto joint venture share ratio, Daimler's demand for holding will gradually surface.
Another joint venture, Beijing Hyundai, has seen its sales performance decline since 2017, and the company has also experienced large losses. After the departure of The Chinese professional manager Dong Ping, the South Korean side gradually showed signs of tightening its control, and the future development of the brand is still unknown.
Liu Yu's BAIC new energy sector, which is also affected by multiple factors such as subsidy decline, the listed company Beiqi Blue Valley has not stopped losing money for consecutive years, and the high-end brand Jihu Automobile currently has only two models on sale, Alpha T and Alpha S, and only 4993 new cars will be sold in 2021.
As for Foton Motor, which Gong Yueqiong is responsible for, the performance is relatively eye-catching, and the development momentum of Foton's commercial vehicle business is good, but due to the historical problems left by Borgward, the overall performance has been seriously dragged down, and the development trend is still unclear.
With the rapid development of the automotive industry, with the rise of new forces, the addition of cross-border companies, and the transformation and upgrading of traditional car companies, BAIC Group is also facing the crisis of frequent personnel flow, reform is still the transformation priority of BAIC Group, how to stimulate corporate vitality and enhance product competitiveness has become a top priority.
