Dong Mingzhu: I am very aggressive in this person | but not as neurotic

On April 9th, at the Boao Forum for Asia, Cao Dewang and Dong Mingzhu, chairman of Fuyao Glass Group, ridiculed each other before CCTV reporters.

Cao Dewang: Gree air conditioner at home is not used.

Dong Mingzhu: He has not reached the level of recognition. His impression is that Gree is a home air conditioner.

Cao Dewang: This man is a bit ruthless.

Cao Dewang regards Dong Mingzhu as 'the best buddies'.

When the CCTV reporter asked Dong Mingzhu, “Now I am also working on a smart car. Is there any plan to use Fuyao Glass?” Dong Mingzhu said: “Of course there is,” Cao Dewang should be: 'Because we love each other deeply.'

In addition to ignoring Cao Dewang, Dong Mingzhu was once again mentioned by the media four years ago, that game with Lei Jun.

On April 10, Dong Mingzhu said in an interview with CCTV Finance that it would then request the National Audit Office to conduct an audit evaluation on the two companies. She said: 'This gambling will continue to be performed and taken seriously.'

This is similar to her answer at the two sessions this year.

In an interview with the China Business Daily on March 7, she said: 'The figure of him (millet) has no way to confirm that he is not a listed company. He can't say how he says it. 'China Business News reporter said : 'If he is listed, he may be willing to cash in. ' Dong Mingzhu smiled and responded: 'After listing, it is not looking at the market value. It is your sales. It's laughable.'

To recall the situation at that time, in December 2013, Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu launched a debate on the development model and laid down a one-thousand-million-dollar gamble. At that time, Lei Jun said: 'In five years, if our turnover is defeated, Gree's words, Dong Mingzhu Dong always lose me a dollar on the line. ' Dong Mingzhu believes that millet can not exceed Gree, she is domineering to respond: 'I bet you 10 billion.'

In addition to accusing Cao Dewang, responding to betting, Dong Mingzhu delivered a speech at the Boao Forum.

On April 9th, Dong Mingzhu attended the 2018 Boao Sina Finance Nights and Zhenghe Island Nights held by Sina Finance and Zhenghe Island and delivered a keynote speech on 'New Era, New Opportunities'.

In this speech, Miss Dong talked about opportunities, independent brands and core technologies.

'I think the opportunity is on the side'

Dong Mingzhu said: 'Opportunities exist all the time, but it depends on our choice. It is not that we have entered a new era today. We have opportunities. I think opportunities are on the side.'

What impressed her was that 30 years ago, Changhong was among the top ten companies, but 30 years later it is gone. She believes that this is not the tragedy of Changhong, but every missionary company. Problems that families need to think about. 'A strong company has a sense of mission. There can be many objective reasons for a company's failure, but it is more important to look for problems subjectively.'

'Do not buy a chair to buy international brands'

Regarding self-owned brands, Dong Mingzhu said: 'Most of China's manufacturing comes from assembly and processing, and more from OEM.' She gave an example of Anji.

I went to Anji two days ago to look at a lot of chair manufacturers. Today, I’ll give you some publicity. After you buy a chair, don’t buy an international brand, because the chair is actually all from Anji. There are more than 300 chairs in Anji. Their chair is fantastic. If you don't see it with your own eyes, I don’t believe it.

We bought the most expensive world famous brands, but in another look, they are all produced by Anji. They sell a foreign brand with a chair for a few hundred bucks, while foreigners sell thousands of bucks, tens of thousands of dollars, and we It's a sad thing to buy a 10,000-dollar chair. So, in the new era, we must build our own brand.

Dong Mingzhu once again took the opportunity to publicize Gree: 'Although we were not in the ranking of President Liu Qiao, but we raised 4.9 billion yuan, and so far, we have already achieved nearly 80 billion dividends for shareholders.'

She used three figures to tell everyone not to look at the big companies above, but not necessarily how long: “From 1991 to the present, 28 years after its establishment, our net profit rate last year has reached 15%, which was created last year. The country’s national tax revenue is close to 50 billion, and it has achieved 150 billion revenue.

'Enterprises must really master the core technology, otherwise it is only a tool for making money'

For core technologies, Dong Mingzhu said:

In today's new era, the more important issue we must solve is not to be rushed to impetuosity, not to be blinded by the outside world, and to consolidate our faith.

Joint venture introduction is a term commonly used by us, but we insist on taking the road of independent innovation. Only by mastering the core technologies can we become a true creator. Only by mastering the core technologies, can you dare to say that you are serving humanity, otherwise we It's just a tool to make money.

We are not asking everyone to be like us. However, if Chinese companies want to go global, they hope that more companies can adhere to this belief, take the road of independent innovation and have the future, and take the road of independent innovation to master tomorrow.

Of course, why is it proposed today to shift from focusing on quantitative development to quality-oriented development, because we are big and not strong, because our products do not have an international status. When world brands were selected, none of them were Chinese brands because they did not master the technology. So you can't do it.

A few days ago, everyone was discussing a problem. There are many international standards, but China does not have its own standards. How can this go to the world? In fact, whether a country is strong or not is to see if you can master the development of standards. Have the power to set standards? This requires your skills to be ahead of others.

Looking back over the past decade or so, our corporate standards are lower than the national standards, but then we suddenly reversed and said that corporate standards are higher than national standards and higher than international standards. What is the reason? In retrospect, I believe that when companies insist that their own standards are higher than international standards, it means that when we start to grow, it means that China can later set international standards.

'The only way to solve the problem by tears is fighting'

Finally, Miss Dong did not forget 'selling' chicken soup:

Every one of us has a dream. Especially the entrepreneurs who are here today are actually very hard. I have experienced it. I believe everyone feels the same. I usually tell people that I am strong and I never I cry, but I believe I must have cried that time because I can only feel it when I cry (not easy). However, today we can't solve the problem with tears. The only way is to fight.

This also has something to do with my character. I'm a very aggressive person, but this kind of 'fighting' is not like being mad, like a madman, arguing with this one, or 'fighting' with that one, no, we're fighting for truth. , It is for our dreams and our pursuit to go to 'bucket'.

In the past period of time, evaluating a person's success mainly depends on how much assets he owns. Measuring the success of an individual with assets is not complete. The real success is the ability to bring change to others. If a company fails, prove This company is not solid, it does not really touch and change others, or it brings happiness to others.

The understanding of the new era should not be a simple opportunity, opportunity. For example, everyone said that the Internet era has arrived and that all IT industry will be engaged immediately. However, you find that without the support of the physical industry, how useful is IT? Therefore, we cannot use one. Denying another one, using another one to negate this, and working together is also the key word for the new era of the future. Hand in hand, this is the trend of future development.

When it comes to combativeness, we must say one more thing here.

Dong Mingzhu is ranked as one of the most women in China. The other two are Hu Shuli in the media circle and Liu Weiwei in the financial circle. Dong Mingzhu represents the business circle.

In the article “The Three Most Could Not Make Women in China”, the tiger sniffing author describes Dong Mingzhu as the boss: “Dong Mingzhu is a person who is an iron lady who is in a war. Whether it was Huang Guangyu of Gome, or The United States’ Fang Hongbo did not negotiate a bargain with her. Not to mention Dong Jiejie knew both rivers and lakes and also cooked the church. In 2012, the Zhuhai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission Air Force dropped a Zhou Shaoqiang president from Gree Group. The intention of cutting power was obvious. President Zhou, it was not long before he was slyly exposed to 'a meal to drink 12 bottles of astronomical red wine', and was finally caught in the end.'

Dong Mingzhu issued his views on the Sino-US trade war at the end of his speech:

Just like the trade war we talked about today, the trade war itself is unfair. Therefore, China must be stronger. Only when we are strong enough to go to the United States to dare to trade war with us, we will succeed.

Miss Dong really is a combative woman.
