Title: Gree Electric Appliances: Dong Mingzhu's "angry rebuke" and the values of traditional manufacturing
Gree Electric has always been one of the representatives of China's manufacturing industry, but a series of recent events have once again attracted widespread attention from the society. Dong Mingzhu's remarks and the fluctuation of the company's stock price are not only an internal management issue of the enterprise, but also a microcosm of the conflict between the management philosophy of traditional manufacturing enterprises and the values of contemporary young people.
Gree Electric's recent single-day market value evaporated by more than 13 billion yuan, and the stock price fell shockingly. Among them, Gree Electric announced that it would increase its stake in its holding subsidiary, Gree Titanium New Energy Co., Ltd., which caused great fluctuations in the market. Due to the uncertain profit prospects of Gree Titanium, the share price of Gree Electric fell sharply on the same day, and the cumulative evaporated market value exceeded 13 billion yuan.
However, what is even more eye-catching is Dong Mingzhu's angry denunciation of the "Meng Yutong" incident. At a company event, Dong Mingzhu said that Meng Yutong was not qualified for secretarial work in the Xi program, and only became an Internet celebrity through the Gree platform, for which she fired him mercilessly. This incident sparked heated public opinion, and the stock price of Gree Electric was affected.
Dong Mingzhu has expressed her concern about the younger generation in many responses, and she believes that young people nowadays chase money and only want to earn more money, which is contrary to the concept that she insists on "struggle is to achieve the great love of life". She emphasized that young people should focus on the love of work and the process of struggle, not just the pursuit of the results of money.
However, such statements have caused controversy. Many netizens believe that Dong Mingzhu's work thinking is too old-fashioned, and the successful experience of the past may not be applicable to young people today. Society is developing, young people's attitudes are changing, there is no shame in pursuing material comforts, and money is often a means to achieve higher dreams.
The "breakup" between Gree Electric and Meng Yutong has also become the focus of public opinion. In two years, Meng Yutong has changed from "Gree's successor" to a negative example in Dong Mingzhu's mouth. Dong Mingzhu once said that he wanted to train her to become the "second Dong Mingzhu", but the final result was surprising. Meng Yutong's sales performance was not satisfactory, and the reasons for his eventual departure are also varied, and this incident has caused deep reflection on the relationship between the company and its young employees.
In this era of rapid change, conflicts and collisions between enterprises and employees are inevitable. Traditional manufacturing enterprises need to better understand the values of the younger generation in terms of management concepts, and young people also need to better adapt to the rules and regulations of the enterprise. How to achieve a win-win situation in such a conflict is a question worth pondering.
In general, the recent events of Gree Electric reflect the conflict of management concepts between traditional manufacturing enterprises and contemporary young people. This is not only an internal problem of enterprises, but also a phenomenon that deserves the attention of the whole society. With the development of the times, the relationship between enterprises and employees also needs to be constantly adjusted and adapted to achieve common development and progress.
