On June 8, 2020, JD.COM went to Hong Kong for its second listing. It is not the founder Liu who rings the bell, but the CEO of the retail group. In the live speech, Xu Lei said, "Thanks to Liu for giving the management team the greatest trust and stage."
On the morning of September 6th, 20021year, Xu Lei took another step in JD.COM. According to the announcement issued by JD.COM, Xu Lei was promoted to the position of President of JD.COM Group, who will be fully responsible for the daily operation and coordinated development of various business segments and report to Liu, Chairman and CEO of the Group; Xin Lijun, CEO of JD Health, became CEO of retail, and Jin, head of JD Health Medical Department, became CEO of JD Health.
JD.COM said that after being promoted to the group president and helping Liu to carry out relevant business work, Liu will devote more time to long-term strategic design, young CEO training and rural revitalization.
The boots finally landed. Although Xu Lei responded to the speculation in Weibo that he was the second-in-command with "Don't socialize too much", this appointment means that Xu Lei has become the second-in-command in JD.COM.
This change is not unexpected. In recent years, in addition to the second listing in Hong Kong, JD Health and Jingdong Logistics were listed, and Liu did not attend; Xu Lei is also the main speaker of the earnings conference call and major events such as 6 18.
