Dong Mingzhu's "espionage theory" continued to escalate, the official media named and criticized angrily, and Hu Xijin demanded an apology to the returnees

preface

Recently, Dong Mingzhu has become popular again!

However, this time it was not because of her business performance, nor because of her management style, but because of the sentence "I never use returnees" directly rushed to the hot search.

As soon as these words came out, they directly caused a lot of controversy, after all, this remark was not chatting with friends after dinner, but at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of Gree Electric Appliances.

As public opinion continued to ferment, the official media couldn't sit still and began to criticize Dong Mingzhu's behavior, and Hu Xijin, a reporter from the Global Times, directly demanded a public apology.

Dong Mingzhu's "espionage theory" incident began and ended

Speaking of this, we have to start from April 22, when Gree Electric held an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, and 71-year-old Dong Mingzhu was re-elected as chairman again.

It stands to reason that this is a normal thing, but who knew that as soon as Sister Dong opened her mouth at the conference, a bombshell came directly and exploded.

When talking about Gree's employment standards, Dong Mingzhu said that Gree values the youthfulness, innovation ability and sense of responsibility of talents, which is quite reasonable.

But as soon as the conversation changed, Dong Mingzhu said the jaw-dropping sentence: "We will never use returnees in talent training", and after finishing speaking, he also made up a knife, "There are spies in the returnees, I don't know who is who is not." ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene first burst into laughter, and then applause, to be honest, this applause sounded weird, as if it was cheering for this "thunderman" remarks.

You must know that Dong Mingzhu is not an ordinary person, she entered Gree in 1990 and climbed step by step to her current position, holding 101 million shares in Gree Electric Appliances, with a market value of almost 46 billion.

Such a pivotal entrepreneur labeled all returnees in one sentence, which is not a joke, but it has caused a lot of controversy.

Some people even joked that this is the "stigmatization" of job seekers over 35 years old by some companies in the past few years.

And this time, Dong Mingzhu's remarks are simply a change of the "35-year-old phenomenon" and continue to repeat it, but this time it is aimed at the returnee group.

Many people think that it is a matter for a company to choose what kind of talent, but it is a bit too much to attribute the reason for rejection to "possible spies".

After all, in the past history, our country has spent so much effort to introduce talents, and the result is good, and everyone has been beaten into "suspects" in one sentence.

As the matter continued to ferment, the Beijing News was the first to jump out and speak, directly naming and criticizing, and some well-known big Vs demanded a public apology!

Criticism from the state media

According to a report by the Beijing News, Dong Mingzhu's words were "contrary to common sense", and Hu Xijin even used a sentence of "violation of the Employment Promotion Law" to describe that this battle was a fight with the siege of Lu Xun back then.

At the beginning of the article, the Beijing News first affirmed Dong Mingzhu's sense of responsibility and creativity, and then gave Dong Mingzhu the hat of "deep-rooted prejudice".

Especially in the article, he said that Dong Mingzhu's remarks would label the returnee group and cause stigma, but these words are reasonable.

In the current society, how many people now want to go abroad for further study, and finally return from their studies, only to be beaten to death with a stick, saying that there may be spies inside.

The Beijing News also said that such remarks are unfounded, and that if there are really spies, it is not only for returnees, and the state security department also has its own set of screening mechanisms.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Gree Electric was also pushed to the forefront, after all, this company is our domestic leading enterprise, and Dong Mingzhu is a well-known entrepreneur.

Every word she says may affect the thoughts of countless people, and if her remarks really affect the employment policies of some enterprises, the consequences can be serious.

While the official media is criticizing Dong Mingzhu, they are also emphasizing the issue of corporate image, after all, the image of a company can really be ruined by one sentence.

Dong Mingzhu has worked hard for so many years to bring Gree to today's position, but as a result, Gree's image may be damaged by a word, which is a bit too expensive.

As public opinion continued to ferment, Hu Xijin, a reporter from the Global Times, also came forward to express his views, and the article even demanded that Dong Mingzhu must apologize.

According to Hu Xijin, Dong Mingzhu's remarks have crossed the line, which is blatant discrimination, and China's employment policy will never allow such exclusion of any large group.

In the article, he also said that Dong Mingzhu's remarks were indeed a bit excessive, and it was a joke to label all returnees as "possible spies".

After all, judging from previous cases, spies are likely to come out in various industries, which is everyone's choice problem, and Dong Mingzhu directly "beat the entire returnee to death".

This is simply groundless suspicion, not to mention using this reason to discriminate against people looking for a job, which is not clearly in opposition to national policy.

Finally, Hu Xijin also added that there is nothing wrong with Ms. Dong Mingzhu's personality and management style, but when it comes to topics involving public interests, we still have to pay attention to proportion.

Because of this, he thinks that Ms. Dong Mingzhu had better come out and apologize, after all, this is indeed a bit too much, which hurts the feelings of many returnees.

In this way, Dong Mingzhu's "espionage theory" has always become the object of discussion, and netizens have also expressed their opinions, and many netizens support Dong Mingzhu's behavior for the sake of the country's plan.

But many netizens expressed their opinions, saying that Dong Mingzhu wanted traffic to attract people's attention, after all, this is not done once or twice.

But to be fair, in the history of the mainland, there are many celebrities who have studied abroad and have made it difficult for them to return to China to serve, such as Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian, which are clear examples.

If Qian Xuesen had not led the team to successfully develop China's first missile "Dongfeng 1", perhaps China's first atomic bomb would not have been so quickly exploded.

If Deng Jiaxian had not returned to China after obtaining a doctorate in physics in the United States and devoted himself to China's nuclear weapons research, perhaps China's "two bombs and one satellite" would still face many difficulties...

What do you think about this?
