Edit |Small balls.

Behind the expiration of Wu Baojun's "dismissal" and the fact that it was not a "very pleasant" breakup by visual inspection, it was essentially a balanced game of comprehensive interests of both parties or even multiple parties.

In addition to the law and the war of words, in fact, there is an inexplicable game point, how to deal with the relationship between personal contribution and company performance?

There are tears every year, and this year is expected to be extraordinarily large. In the past few years, especially in 2023, the global economic situation is not optimistic. In such an environment, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, at special nodes, the news of important personnel changes and job adjustments related to major car companies will only come in waves. If it's not handled properly, it's easy to happen"Tearing and ripping".situation. Wu Baojun issued an article, insinuating that Zhu Jiangming's birds were hiddenNo, in the past two days, the news about the "resignation" of Wu Baojun, the former president of Leapmotor, quickly rushed to the hot search, causing attention and heated discussions in the car circle. The two sides have also made a public response in the form of "each side of the story".

Wu Baojun issued a response.

Wu Baojun publicly published a "small composition" on his Weibo account, bluntly saying that a professional manager like him is a "president", and he is also an employee (senior worker), and he is also weak and helpless in the face of a huge corporate organization, thanks to the care and attention of ** friends. Wu Baojun's above-mentioned essays mainly express the following meanings:When the contract expired, the company did not renew his employment, and he personally had to leave Leapmotor, which is regrettable and helpless, but he really loves Leapmotor. In the more than three years since he joined Leapmotor as a co-founder, director and president, Leapmotor has not only doubled its sales volume one after another, but also successfully completed major events such as the listing of IOP and the large-scale strategic investment cooperation of Stelantis Group. In Wu Baojun's view, he exceeded expectations and reached the employment agreement and VAM agreement signed before joining the company. Although he has been dismissed by the company's board of directors as president and other positions, he is still a director of the company, and he is in a weak position in the process of the company's resignation and other matters. It is hoped that Leap will respect the history and the contract, and put the customer first.

First, the principle of employees second, legal, reasonable and reasonable with their own "good gathering and good dispersal". Obviously, Wu Baojun understands socialization, ** and public opinion guidance.

Wu Baojun posted several Weibo comments on the Dong Yuhui incident on December 16 last year.

Lotus Auto noticed that Wu Baojun's personal Weibo account is still the co-founder, director, and president of Leap Technology, and in the past few years, Wu is not a Weibo expert, and the frequency of his Weibo posts is quite low. However, on December 16 last year, Wu Baojun commented on several hot news events related to Dongfang Selection Dong Yuhui one after another, and even published the following excerpt of thoughts with deep meaning: "Because in essence, others are kings, and you are will: Yang Xiu offended Cao Cao, you see what a good end." Han Xin's credit is so great, and in the end, he was not clicked by Liu Bang. Rabbits and dogs are cooked, and birds are hidden。This is almost always a historical necessity. The greater the credit, the more humble and loyal efforts must be made to give the company enough security. Let the leader feel that 'our Dong Yuhui is very reliable, let him take the lead, no problem'. They're not going to do things. If you rein in your edge, the boss won't have to find a way to help you collect it. There is also a typical story of Mozi Ink Attack, you can take a look at the movie "Ink Attack" played by Andy Lau, which is more vivid and vivid! However, some netizens on Weibo sharply ridiculed, "Don't insinuate yourself, you are not Dong."

Wu Baojun, former president of Leapmotor.

Immediately afterwards, it was the above-mentioned small essay that was publicly published, which aroused a lot of attention and discussion in the industry. Leap responded coldly, Wu Baojun has been marginalized in the past year

Some voices believe that as a senior professional manager with a high salary and a value of hundreds of millions, Wu Baojun should not respond to Leapmotor Company so openly through his personal social platform as a "weakling"; There are also voices expressing support for Wu Baojun's active voice and fighting for personal rights and interests. Compared with Wu Baojun's Weibo "small composition" playing the emotional card, the official response announcement of Leapmotor shows that it is obviously much calmer, colder and blunt. That.

1. The employment contract between Mr. Wu Baojun and Leapmotor has expired on January 8, 2024, and the board of directors of the company has resolved not to renew the employment. That.

2. Not only did he not express his gratitude to Wu Baojun for his achievements and contributions during his joining Leapmotor in the past few years (he was too lazy to be polite), but bluntly said that Mr. Wu Baojun was mainly responsible for strategic development and public affairs in the company in the past year, and this part of the work was followed up by Vice President Li Tengfei. That.

3. Thanks to the times, the industrial background, and the joint efforts of every Leaprunner, Leaprun will continue to create value for users and the industry.

Obviously, through this "slightly cold" official announcement of Leapmotor, it is not difficult to find that the relationship between Leapmotor and Wu Baojun, or "dispute", has actually been relatively "stiff" and unpleasant. So much so that when it came to the step of "breaking up", the company didn't want to and didn't bother to be "polite" to him. It can be seen from this that the relationship between Wu Baojun and Zhu Jiangming behind the scenes cannot be said to have "broken up", but it is difficult to say that the so-called "good gathering and good dispersion" can be achieved. We often sayThe leaves do not turn yellow in a day, and it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs. Therefore, between Leapmotor and Wu Baojun, whether it is a "labor dispute" at the company and individual level, or "tearing and tearing", the law will be handed over to the law. It is true that it is difficult to say that individuals are evenly matched in the face of the company, but Wu Baojun is also a person who has been the president of the company, and he has been fighting for many years and is worth hundreds of millions, so Wu Baojun is by no means the "weak and helpless" emphasized in his Weibo essay. No matter how bad it is, didn't you Wu Baojun post a small essay casually, isn't it enough to arouse a lot of ** attention and heated discussions among netizens? So it's really not a "migrant worker asking for wages", blindly using a "weak" attitude to win ** sympathy, there is no need.

Zhu Jiangming, founder and chairman of Leapmotor.

After the law is handed over to the law, then the rest is naturally the moral and human level. Leap was founded in 2015 and has turned around in the past three years

According to public information, Zhejiang Leap Technology was registered and established in Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce on December 24, 2015, and its legal representative is Zhu Jiangming. However, the industry generally began to know about this new power brand, roughly from the beginning of 2019. At that time, Leapmotor held a high-profile car press conference and showed its first product, S01, and the tone was very high, claiming that Leapmotor is the second manufacturer in the world to have complete independent research and development capabilities for smart electric vehicles after Tesla! At that time, Leapmotor and Zhu Jiangming's wave of "blowing the cowhide out of the sky when you come up, and being shocked and dying" did quickly win a wave of heated discussions and attention.

Of course, at that time, the industry generally had an attitude of "watching the excitement and jokes" towards Zerorun, and since then, S01, a very personalized + alternative niche product, has also made some criticisms and moths, which has attracted the industry's scoff. In a word, as a representative of the members of the new car-making force 1 N that sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in the past few years, its appearance is not good, and the starting point is not high, not to mention compared with Tesla and Wei Xiaoli, and it is even far from being famous in the second echelon of new forces such as Weimar, Aiways, and Byton. The kind that doesn't enter the stream and can't be ranked.

However, from 2020, especially the year, that is, the three years of the "mask" incident, relying on the integration of Dahua's industrial chain resources, as well as relying on the advantages of the ship's small and good U-turn, Leap has trotted quickly and iterated rapidly, and through the launch of a series of new models such as T03, C11, and C01, it has actually broken the situation against the wind. In the past 2023, when the second-tier new forces such as Weimar, Aiways, and Byton have faded out one after another, and the new star head forces such as Weilai and Xiaopeng are still facing huge challenges, Leap has further consolidated its favorable position in the new force camp. Not only has the annual sales exceeded 140,000 units (of course, there is still a big gap from the 200,000 units set by Zhu Jiangming at the beginning), but the key is that it has also won the strategic investment and strong endorsement of the world's top four car enterprise groups, Stelantis Group, which can be called the rising star of the second-tier new forces. Objectively speaking, in the past three years, the timeline coincides with Wu Baojun's joining and serving as president, after all, Wu has held important positions in many large companies such as Guangzhou Peugeot, GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, and Zhongcheng Auto Insurance in the past 30 years. Wu Baojun can be called a standard automobile veteran, and the resources he brings to the automotive industry chain of Leapmotor should not be underestimated. Otherwise, whether it was Chairman Zhu Jiangming or the board of directors of Leapmotor, why would he be willing to hire Wu Baojun to "join halfway" and serve as the president with a high salary. AbsolutelyAt this time and that time, three years ago, Leapmotor may still need Wu Baojun's ability and resources, but it may not be three years later.

In the past year, although Wu Baojun is still nominally the president of the company, Wu is actually not doing the work of coordinating the overall situation. In other words, throughout 2023, Wu Baojun has been gradually marginalized in the core management of Leapmotor. Then for Leapmotor's further sales and performance achievements in 2023, Wu Baojun's credit will inevitably be greatly reduced. Tease Observation:As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Behind the expiration of Wu Baojun's "dismissal" and the fact that it was not a "very pleasant" breakup by visual inspection, it was essentially a balanced game of comprehensive interests of both parties or even multiple parties. Outside the law,In fact, there is an inexplicable game point, between personal contribution and company performance, how to calculate and how to draw?

As stated in the responses of both parties, Wu Baojun wanted to emphasize how well he participated in and led Leapmotor and achieved excellent results, and that Leapmotor's performance in the past few years was inseparable from him, and he played a great role. The official statement of Leaprun emphasizes that the company's development and achievements are first of all due to the great era, the industrial background, and the joint efforts of all Leaprun employees. In the end, the law will be handed over to the law, and the next thing is a war of words.
