Looking back on the development history of Great Wall Motors, Wei Jianjun, as a leading figure in the enterprise, once provoked the helm of Great Wall Motors in 1990 when he was only 26 years old. By leading the company to enter the pickup truck field and keenly seize the opportunities in the SUV market, Great Wall Motor has become the leader of its own brands and firmly occupies the leading position in China's pickup truck market and SUV market.
However, Wei's success is not solely due to market sensitivity and decisive decision-making. More importantly, he has a deep understanding of the entire automotive industry and a clear vision of where to go. This is also the driving force behind his questioning of the industry at the Wuzhen conference. As a representative of independent brands, his remarks are not only a concern about the current situation of the industry, but also a call for responsibility for the future of the entire automotive industry.
The 2023 Wuzhen Coffee Club Car Night Talk was held in Tongxiang City a few days ago. Wei Jianjun opened with a sentence of "I want to give Chinese cars a wake-up call", and bluntly questioned the current situation of China's auto industry. The shock brought by this remark is not only a deep reflection on the industry, but also a warning to the overall development direction of the industry.
Wei Jianjun spoke at the event related to business management, new energy and overseas market development, etc., he said that the operation of car companies should have bottom-line thinking, long-term thinking, not to look overnight, the automotive industry still has to look at science and technology, manufacturing level.
Wei Jianjun pointed out in his speech that some car companies use water armies and create false information on the Internet, which seriously disrupts the ecology of the entire industry. This dirty way of competing not only hurts the relationship between businesses, but also has a negative impact on consumers. His remarks put these issues on the table and made it clearer what is happening within the industry.
The existence of this chaos has brought huge hidden dangers to the long-term development of the entire automotive industry. If the industry is rife with vicious competition, false propaganda and manipulation by trolls, it will be difficult for truly excellent companies and products to stand out, and the reputation of the industry will also be affected. Therefore, Wei Jianjun's criticism is not only a rebuke to some companies, but also a reflection on the culture of the entire industry.
The automobile industry is a huge system, and its contribution to the country's economy and employment cannot be underestimated. China is in the era of new energy vehicles, and how to occupy a place in the global market has become an important issue for Chinese auto companies.
Through his speech at the Wuzhen Conference, Wei Jianjun reminded the industry to maintain unity in the fierce competition and jointly promote the high-quality development of China's auto industry.
