In this seemingly calm business world, the remarks of Dong Mingzhu, chairman and president of Gree Electric Appliances, once again set off waves. At the induction ceremony of the class of 2023, Dong Mingzhu mentioned the Meng Yutong incident, which is not only an evaluation of an individual, but also a deep reflection on the values and social phenomena of the entire enterprise.
Dong Mingzhu recalled that she once selected Meng Yutong from many candidates in a show, hoping that she could grow up in Gree. However, Meng Yutong's performance as a secretary did not meet Dong Mingzhu's expectations, and her status as an internet celebrity had a negative impact within the company. Dong Mingzhu said frankly that Gree Electric could not tolerate such behavior, and finally decided to expel Meng Yutong.
This decision has sparked heated discussions on social platforms. Some people believe that Meng Yutong uses Gree's brand effect to increase personal popularity, which is a win-win situation for personal brands and corporate brands. However, Dong Mingzhu's point of view is to criticize this phenomenon sharply. She believes that even if Meng Yutong has many fans and more income, if this success is not based on actual ability and corporate culture, then this success is like a "walking dead" and has no real value.
Dong Mingzhu's remarks are not only an evaluation of Meng Yutong's personal evaluation, but also a criticism of the phenomenon of some young people in the current society pursuing short-term fame and fortune and ignoring long-term development. She stressed that money is important, but it should be the result of hard work, not a dream pursuit. This point of view is undoubtedly a spur to young people, reminding them that they should pay more attention to the cultivation of personal ability and the improvement of professional quality.
In this era where traffic and attention are king, Dong Mingzhu's words are undoubtedly a clear stream. She used her own experience and Gree Electric's corporate culture to point out a more stable and sustainable development path for young people. This is not only the shaping of personal values, but also the guidance of the values of the whole society.
Dong Mingzhu's remarks not only aroused heated discussions among netizens, but also should become a topic for us to ponder. How should we balance personal branding and corporate culture while pursuing personal development?In the process of chasing fame and fortune, how should we maintain ourselves?These questions are worth pondering for every newcomer and incumbent in the workplace.
Let us remember Dong Mingzhu's words: money is necessary, but it is not the pursuit of our dreams, but the result of our struggle. In this era of rapid change, let us not forget our original intention, adhere to our own values, and draw a strong and firm background for our career.
In this era full of uncertainties, let us keep a clear mind, firm faith, continue to move forward, and use our sweat and wisdom to create our own brilliance.
