However, a sudden "black swan" epidemic has undoubtedly made the automobile industry, which was already in the cold winter of the automobile market, worse. What's the next step for the prepared national automobile team, such as the merger of North and South cars to unify the Three Kingdoms, or sincere cooperation and win-win? The personnel changes of the three major groups are undoubtedly one of the memorabilia worth discussing and thinking about in the first half of the year.
There are frequent personnel changes in the three major groups.
According to public information, in the first half of this year, all three central enterprises experienced personnel changes of different degrees and scales.
At the end of March, Ding, vice president of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., became the general manager of Dongfeng Passenger Car Company. Zhang Zutong, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of Dongfeng Passenger Car Company, who served as the general manager of Dongfeng Passenger Car Company for less than two years, was transferred back to the group to take charge of Dongfeng Honda, Shenlong Company and Dongfeng Hongtai; In May, Zhang Zutong also served as the chairman of Shenlong Automobile; You Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of Dongfeng Company, will take over Dongfeng Passenger Car and Dongfeng Technology Center; At the same time, Wang Qiang served as the general manager of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd.; Yang Qing no longer serves as the general manager of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., and Jiang Xuefeng no longer serves as the deputy general manager of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., and has another appointment;
In April, with the successful reorganization and listing of faw liberation, Hu was appointed as the chairman of the ninth board of directors of faw liberation Group, and Zhu Qi became the new general manager. Pentium, a listed company, also ushered in a new management structure-Sui served as the general manager of FAW Pentium Car Co., Ltd. and took over as the deputy general manager of FAW Pentium Car Co., Ltd., in addition, Liu Changqing was transferred to the strategic management and business planning department of FAW Group as the general manager and transferred to the marketing division;
Also in April, the former executive deputy general manager of Changan Automobile Sales Branch was transferred to Changan Ford as the executive vice president of Changan Ford (the national sales and service organization), and the former executive deputy general manager of Changan Auchan Automobile Sales Company was transferred to Changan Sales Branch as the executive deputy general manager, responsible for the marketing business of Changan; In June, Chen Xiaobo, former assistant director of Dongfeng Renault Marketing Department, became the deputy general manager of Changan Automobile Passenger Car Marketing Division.
In June, the three major groups staged a wave of high-level centralized changes.
On June 12, Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. also held a leadership (expansion) meeting. Entrusted by the Central Organization Department, Comrade Zhu Yanfeng, Chairman and Party Secretary of Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., announced the decision of the Central Organization Department on the appointment of cadres: Qiao Yang was appointed as the deputy general manager of Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., and Feng Changjun was appointed as the standing Committee member and chief accountant of Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd.
On the afternoon of June 18, China Ordnance Equipment Group Co., Ltd. held a meeting for managers above middle level. At the meeting, it was announced that Xu Ping would no longer serve as the chairman and secretary of the Party Committee of China Ordnance Equipment Group, and his position would be replaced by Xu Xianping, the current chairman and secretary of the Party Committee of China General Technology (Group) Company.
This is another major personnel adjustment in 2020 after China Bingzhuang Group announced the appointment of Zhu Hua as the chairman and party secretary of Changan Automobile, whose main business is June 10, and concurrently serves as the chairman of Changan Ford Motor Co., Ltd.
On June 23, CITIC Group announced that Xi Guohua, director, general manager and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of China FAW Group Co., Ltd., was transferred to the post of deputy secretary of the Party Committee of CITIC Group.
Mr. Key has been transferred? Merger and fear of change
According to the idea that the three central enterprises merged to form the automobile national team, Xi Guohua, who airborne FAW, was undoubtedly the "key figure" of the whole project.
Because Xi Guohua, who once led the reorganization and merger of China South Locomotive Group Corporation and China CNR Group Corporation, "airborne" China FAW, not only filled the "vacancy" of FAW's general manager for many years, but also made people full of imagination about the "trinity" of FAW, Dongfeng and Changan.
It is worth noting that in this series of personnel changes, Xi Guohua was transferred from China FAW, which also made the industry have a new guess about the previous rumors about the formation of a "national team" by three central enterprises.
Xi Guohua left FAW less than two years after taking office. Is it because the preparation for reform has been completed and he retired, or it is more difficult for auto central enterprises to form a "national team", and there are other plans, which not only makes people daydream again.
As the "Mr. Key" of this highly anticipated M&A, the transfer of Xi Guohua has plunged the controversial M&A into new speculation again at this moment.
Are the three major car companies active? Increased cooperation probability
With the recurrence of epidemic, many uncertain factors in domestic and foreign markets are making the reform of state-owned enterprises more urgent. How to treat both the symptoms and the root causes of the reform may be a difficult problem before the merger of the three major automobile central enterprises.
The wheel of the times always rolls forward. It is better to take the initiative than wait for the merger. In fact, in recent years, the three car companies have already joined hands frequently in private.
Fortunately, in June 5438+10 this year, T3 Technology Platform Company jointly built by FAW, Dongfeng and Changan officially landed.
In June, three central automobile enterprises joined forces with China Ordnance Equipment Group and Nanjing Jiangning Economic Development Co., Ltd., and jointly invested 654.38+0.6 billion yuan to establish Zhongqi Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.
From various indications, the industry changes triggered by high-level changes indicate that the reform of the three major automobile central enterprises is changing its thinking, and perhaps deep cooperation will become the next main theme.
Red dot observation: Judging from the changes in the top management of the three major groups in the first half of the year, after the "breaking the ice" and "accelerating" in the first two years, the reform of state-owned enterprises is bound to hit the core and go deeper this year, becoming an important driving force and supporting force for realizing the overall speed-up and landing of the automobile industry reform.
From the structural adjustment of the group, actively exploring mixed reform, to the collective "renaming", the three central enterprises are pushing forward the reform in the direction of "new four modernizations" with unprecedented confidence and determination.
