Zhou Houjian, the old head of Hisense Group, retired? What should be the future of the new head taking over Hisense?

# Hisense # According to Shangguan News, Zhou Houjian, who is 65 years old and has been in charge of Hisense Group for 30 years, chose to retire quietly, and Lin Lan, former vice chairman of Hisense Group, took over as chairman. Hisense Group bid farewell to Zhou Houjian era.

"There are no flowers, no red carpets, no banners and grand press conferences, only farewell colleagues' friendship and long applause." Hisense Group reported that in the afternoon of March 12, Zhou Houjian participated in a brief "envelope" logo unveiling activity on the first floor of Hisense Building, expressing Hisense's highest respect for "integrity", and then announced his resignation as chairman of Hisense Group before the monthly operation evaluation meeting of the Group, and officially retired. Then he bid farewell to his colleagues and left Hisense.

Zhou Houjian is one of the veterans of the household appliance industry in China. Hisense Group, led by him, has always been based on the business philosophy of "establishing enterprises through science and technology and operating steadily". Zhou Houjian himself is from a technical background, and this founder gene left a deep mark on Hisense.

Zhou Houjian was born in 1957. 1982 graduated from university and joined Qingdao TV factory, the predecessor of Hisense. 1992 as the factory director and retired in 2022. He served Hisense for 40 years and took charge of Hisense for 30 years. Hisense has changed from a small factory with a revenue of 400 million to a diversified home appliance group. In 20021year, the sales revenue of Hisense Group was175.5 billion yuan, of which overseas revenue accounted for 465.438+0.3%.

To tell the truth, we can see that the old head of Hisense Group is going to retire and the new head is going to take over. How should we treat this succession of Hisense Group? Hisense Group has entered a brand-new era. How should we analyze it?

First of all, the retirement of Zhou Houjian, the old head of Hisense Group, is actually a normal phenomenon. This is because many enterprises in China have actually entered this new and old alternate stage. For many well-known enterprises, these 1 generation entrepreneurs have gradually entered retirement age, and their own energy and ability have been somewhat difficult to maintain complete control of the enterprise, so it is time to do it. In fact, the handover of Qingdao has become the development direction of most enterprises, and it is normal for Hisense Group to conduct brain-to-brain handover at this time. After all, the former head of the company is old, so it is an inevitable choice for new entrepreneurs to take over and better promote the development of the company.

Secondly, we should understand that Hisense Group is no longer a state-owned holding company. In 20021year, Hisense Group completed the mixed reform, introduced strategic investors and employee management shares, and the new Hisense Group became a non-state-owned holding company. This more flexible system is more conducive to competition in the home appliance market. Therefore, the succession of Hisense Group at present has a clear meaning, that is, Hisense Group did not adopt the family business model to take over, but handed over the management right of the enterprise to another professional manager, which is undoubtedly very important, because for many China enterprises at present, adopting the succession model of professional managers is actually more conducive to the long-term development of enterprises, and this mode of de-familyization is very worth learning. Of course, Hisense Group itself is not a family-owned enterprise, but that's it.
