In 2013, millet chairman Lei Jun to Gree chairman Dong Mingzhu launched a challenge, said that within 5 years, if millet turnover exceeded Gree, will lose to Dong Mingzhu 1 dollar. And Dong Mingzhu overbearing response: "a dollar do not mention again, to bet on 10 billion". With the approach of 2018, millet and Gree's 5-year contract is about to expire.
Millet turnover in October exceeded 100 billion, ahead of the end of the year sales of 100 billion target, although behind Gree's 112.027 billion, but millet's revenue growth rate is much higher than Gree, who wins and who loses is still hard to predict. So, in the face of such a powerful opponent, why did Dong Mingzhu have the courage to set a 1 billion dollar bet that year? With days of investigation, I finally saw the clues from Dong Mingzhu's office! The entire desk and bookcases are arranged quite neatly, indicating that she is a person who pays attention to details, familiar with Dong Mingzhu also know that she is very serious in the details of the product,
Requirement to the product to the extreme, made into a work of art, in order to achieve the results and even spare no effort to work overtime with the workers, once a delegation of U.S. companies to the Greeley factory to test the rub, and when leaving the thumbs up, left behind! Three words "self-mutilator"! It is also such a "self-mutilating maniac", have the courage to believe that their products can be loved by consumers, to occupy the market! Once someone described: "In Dong Mingzhu's large office, placed a picture of her:
Or thinly powdered, or elegant and clear, neither with the warmth of their loved ones photos, but also with colleagues and friends of the hilarious photos. Dong Mingzhu show people, is always a 'brave solo heroine' image". In 1995, Dong Mingzhu became Gree's sales manager, subordinates are this way of looking at the female boss: "a do something courageous, ruthless, do people have principles, there is a bottom line people."
