However, foreigners do not have this tradition. As long as their strength is hard enough, they will not worry about jumping off the boat. Just like Gan Wenwei, she jumped ship at the end of the year, became a senior consultant of BYD's chairman, and became the first big coffee in the car circle to jump ship in 2020!
Gan Wenwei? What level of big coffee?
In fact, it is not appropriate to use this word to describe Gan Wenwei. Gan, born in 1955, has been retired for a long time. This time, it seems more appropriate to describe him as a senior adviser to BYD Chairman.
But I still can't help but use the word job-hopping, because the connection between Gan and GM is too strong. He has 37 years of GM work experience, and GM oil runs through his veins. Gan Wenwei, 65438-0975, joined GM and has decades of relevant experience in the automotive industry. Before his retirement, he served as President and General Manager of General Motors (China) Co., Ltd., responsible for the business operations of General Motors in China, Taiwan Province and Hongkong.
Seek its own government in its place and do its duty. Gan is definitely a "big cow". In 2007, he was selected as the authoritative magazine Motor. Trend ranks in the list of the most influential people in the global automobile industry with a score of 265,438+0, and his achievements are particularly well known to every China car owner: he initiated the largest vehicle telematics joint venture in China (Shanghai Anjixing), merged Chevrolet's distribution business in China into a joint venture, and increased Chevrolet's sales from 6,543,800+in 2005 to 20,654.438+. China has introduced a new local automobile brand (Baojun) ... In short, in the years when Gan Wenwei was in charge of GM's business in China, GM has experienced rapid development, and an obvious result is that GM's business in China has completely surpassed that of the United States.
Originally, I thought that such a big cow in the automobile circle would return to his post with 37 years of working feelings even if he wanted to re-emerge, but I didn't expect that Gan "jumped ship" in the first month of 2020 and went to BYD as a senior consultant of the chairman!
Why BYD?
It is not unusual for young professionals like us to change jobs. After all, it is all about money. But for a retired and successful old man, what he is after is not superficial things like money. I think it should be for the sake of greater self-pursuit.
In an interview, Gan expressed his reasons for joining BYD: "Electrification and other automobile products using new technologies will be the focus of future growth. China is the largest automobile market in the world and plays a decisive role. BYD has always been a leader and innovator in the field of electrification and customer-centric technology. I hope to use my experience to support BYD's innovative ability and help them strengthen their leading position in the new energy vehicle industry. "
We are no strangers to car companies like BYD. As the leader of new energy vehicles, BYD has an important influence on the future development pattern of global new energy vehicle industry. In the traditional fuel vehicle product line, BYD also occupies a decisive position in the market. According to relevant statistics, the sales volume of the full range of 20 19 small SUVs increased by 47.87% year-on-year, and the full range of medium-sized SUVs increased by 23.6% year-on-year. Song Pro, which went on the market in July, 20 19, sold 92,051vehicle at the end of the year, with sales exceeding 10,000 for five consecutive months.
Today's BYD, like a young man struggling in the workplace, is full of vigor, youth and strength. He pioneered Sino-foreign technical cooperation and reached cooperation with international giants such as Daimler and Toyota. He established Foday Mould, Foday Technology, Foday Power and other subsidiaries to further accelerate the integration of internal upstream resources and build a stable technology external supply system. It is never wrong to describe BYD today with the words "bright future".
But for BYD, which has a broader world vision, it is still inseparable from attracting talents if it wants to continue to develop upwards. As a China enterprise that actively embraces internationalization, BYD actively accepts talents from different cultural backgrounds and forms an open corporate culture. From the world-class design lineup led by Iger, Lopez and pagani Ti, from Hans, the chief chassis adjustment expert, to Che Xifan, an internationally renowned NVH expert, to Gan, the senior consultant of BYD Chairman, all of them reflect the height and pattern of BYD's "gathering global wisdom and casting international brands".
In the automobile industry, BYD is a leader and innovator in the field of technology, exporting BYD's core technology to many automobile brands including Toyota. In terms of market position, BYD has been ranked first in China's new energy vehicle market for six consecutive years, with a market share of over 22%, exceeding the sum of 2 and 3. In the working environment, BYD's open corporate culture can also make Gan Wenwei better balance her life.
I can rely on BYD's current strong strength to realize my lofty ideals, and I can also enjoy BYD's open international corporate culture. To be honest, I can't think of any other car company that is more suitable for Gan Wenwei's re-emergence.
Choosing BYD can achieve the best of both worlds.
There is not a simple employment relationship between Gan and BYD. In my opinion, it is a cooperative relationship of mutual achievement.
After taking the post of senior consultant of BYD Chairman, Gan will mainly provide consulting services for BYD Group's automobile business, including consulting and guiding services in development strategy, operation strategy, marketing strategy, brand building and promotion of sales service experience.
Literally, what Gan is responsible for is not directly related to specific models, but in fact, the specific R&D and design of BYD models have been undertaken by an excellent international team. For BYD, which is aiming at the whole world, and for 2020, which is about to usher in the turning point of the new energy automobile market, what BYD needs most now is the experience of successfully operating world-class automobile brands.
If BYD's international technical team helped BYD achieve product and technology breakthroughs in the past, now Gan's joining will help BYD achieve new heights in brand and operation and catch up with international automobile brand giants. Don't doubt this, gan has succeeded in doing this.
