Fast Technology reported on February 24 that according to Sina Finance, today, Zhu Lei, marketing director of Gree Electric Appliances, talked about Gree’s new strategic brand “Dong Mingzhu Healthy Home”, which has been hotly discussed recently.
Zhu Lei said that the outside world has a misunderstanding of “Dong Mingzhu’s healthy home” and feels that Dong Mingzhu is transferring Gree’s assets, and he emphasized, “It is not Dong Mingzhu’s Gree, but Gree’s Dong Mingzhu.”
Zhu Lei further explained that the three words “Dong Mingzhu” have been registered by Gree, and Dong Mingzhu himself has no way to use his name to monetize.
“Mr. Dong has a lot of traffic, we all know that traffic is wealth, but Mr. Dong himself can’t use his name to realize, because her name belongs to Gree, she has been on Gree all her life, and even her name has been taken away by the company.” Zhu Lei said.
It is understood that in 2007, Dong Mingzhu served as the president of Gree Electric Appliance Co., Ltd., and in May 2012, he was officially appointed as the chairman of Gree Group.
In 2015, Dong Mingzhu led Gree to enter the world’s top 500 enterprises, and on October 18, 2016, he stepped down as the chairman, director and legal representative of Zhuhai Gree Group Co., Ltd., and continued to serve as the chairman and president of Gree Electric Appliance Co., Ltd.
According to Gree’s official website, Dong Mingzhu has won honors and titles such as “National Model Worker” and “National May 1st Labor Medal”, and has been selected as “CCTV China Economic Person of the Year” by CCTV 3 times, and “The 50 Most Influential Business Women in the World” by Fortune magazine 11 times.
