On the scene of the enthusiastic New Year's party, the base camp of Gree Electric Appliances became noisy, and a carnival performance called "Who Knows More About Gree" became the focus of the audience. This wonderful competition once immersed people in a frenzy of laughter and entertainment, however, just as the audience was boiling, a lyric from one of the employees made the whole atmosphere embarrassing like the tip of the iceberg. He was ashamed to claim that his mother was actually the chairman of Gree Electric Appliances - Dong Mingzhu. For a while, the audience was silent, and Dong Mingzhu laughed more ugly than crying in embarrassment.
The troubled employee hurriedly explained, saying that this was just an unintentional mistake, but in fact he wanted to express the emotion of "my mother likes Dong Mingzhu the most". This sudden lyric brought the awkward atmosphere to its peak, and the scene reached a climax like a joke, but it also sparked a heated discussion in the awkward laughter.
Some netizens said that this kind of old-fashioned lyrics really shouldn't be shown at the annual meeting, especially to pay tribute to the leader in a gesture of worship, which feels too frivolous. The singer may want to amuse everyone, but whether the listener feels embarrassed becomes a question that needs to be carefully considered.
Some netizens began to question whether this kind of program is suitable as an annual meeting program for a state-owned enterprise. They believe that whether it is appropriate to engage in this kind of worship performance, and whether the corporate atmosphere tends to blind worship, seems to be a bit inconsistent with the trend of modern enterprise culture.
However, some netizens expressed their understanding of this employee's explanation, thinking that it may just be his personal worship psychology, or just an exaggerated performance technique for the sake of the show, and there is no need to be too harsh.
It is undeniable that under the leadership of Dong Mingzhu, Gree Electric has performed eye-catching in the past few years. According to reports, Gree will create a profit of up to 29 billion yuan in 2023 and pay 17.6 billion yuan in taxes to the state, which is a record high in the industry. Dong Mingzhu himself has also become an old-time Internet celebrity by actively embracing the Internet, successfully bringing Gree into a new era. Despite the fierce competition in the home appliance market, Gree still sits firmly in the first place in the air conditioning industry and is one of the most competitive state-owned brands.
Of course, this annual meeting is not only a performance of singing and dancing, but also a warm-hearted care of Gree for employees. Dong Mingzhu announced that the company will issue an additional 200 million year-end bonuses to employees to improve the happiness of employees and make every employee feel that Gree is their home. This act of generosity was hailed and recognized by the staff. According to preliminary estimates, each employee will be able to receive an additional 2,439 yuan year-end bonus, which is a significant increase for business owners.
In general, Gree has performed well in the domestic and foreign markets, and its performance in recent years has been gratifying. The celebration of the annual meeting is also well-deserved, and the concern for employee welfare is even more commendable. But looking back at that employee's performance, maybe it's really just a momentary loss of personal emotion, after all, who wants to express their admiration for the leader? Or maybe it was just an accidental joke that became a great joy at the annual meeting.
Eventually, both embarrassing moments and joyful moments became an integral part of the annual meeting. Let's look at this incident rationally and don't take "my mother is Dong Mingzhu" as a sign that the corporate culture is problematic。After all, under the leadership of Dong Mingzhu, Gree Electric is thriving, which is an indisputable fact. Looking forward to the future, Gree can continue to maintain the spirit of innovation and achieve more brilliant results. As for the performance of the annual meeting, perhaps the next time will be more exciting and more cautious, so that everyone can really feel the warmth and vitality of the enterprise in laughter.
However, behind this light-hearted humor, there are also some questions worth pondering. First, should corporate culture emphasize the cult of leadership personality? Is this kind of performance too casual and contrary to the concept of modern corporate culture? Or is it just an exaggeration to liven up the atmosphere and we should treat it more leniently?
Secondly, as a state-owned enterprise, does Gree Electric's corporate culture need to be more integrated into the concept of modernization and equality? Some netizens questioned whether it was appropriate to engage in such a cultistic performance, and whether it was contrary to the modern corporate image promoted by the state.
However, at the same time, we must also recognize the brilliant achievements of Gree Electric under the leadership of Dong Mingzhu. Whether it's record profits or huge taxes paid to the state, it shows that this is a strong and successful business. And Dong Mingzhu has also attracted attention for actively embracing the Internet and leading Gree to a new era. In the fierce competition in the home appliance market, Gree is still standing tall and is a leader among state-owned brands.
In the end, both embarrassing moments and joyful moments became an integral part of the annual meeting. Let's look at this incident rationally and don't take "my mother is Dong Mingzhu" as a sign that the corporate culture is problematicIt is an indisputable fact that Gree Electric is thriving under the leadership of Dong Mingzhu.
