Under the leadership of Dong Mingzhu, Gree has developed from a single air-conditioning company into a diversified, technology-based global industrial manufacturing group, with its products sold in more than 190 countries and regions, serving more than 600 million users worldwide. As Dong Mingzhu said, Gree has come this far because it has always adhered to the spirit of turning the blade inward to meet the needs of consumers for a better life.

In the "Innovation Interview" session, Dong Mingzhu, as a special guest, shared her experience and insights on the road of innovation and entrepreneurship. Dong Mingzhu emphasized that innovation is the core driving force of enterprise development, and talent is the key to innovation, and enterprise development cannot be separated from talent. Gree Electric has always regarded talent as the most valuable resource. By building a complete talent training system and incentive mechanism, every young person with a dream can grow and develop here. In 2024, Gree Electric recruited 6,190 college students, and more young people with dreams joined Gree, achieving the common progress of enterprises and talents.

"In the past, we were a follower-type enterprise. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we increased our efforts in talent training. Now we have developed into an innovation-driven enterprise with more than 17,000 R&D personnel. I believe that talents are cultivated by themselves, and what enterprises need to do is to provide talents with a platform, time and direction for development. Especially in the era of intelligence, we need more comprehensive talents and we need unique talents in every position." Dong Mingzhu replied.

A strong country is built on strong talent. Adhering to the talent engine to drive the high-quality development of new quality productivity is not only the foundation of national progress, but also the need for corporate development. As an enterprise rooted in Zhuhai for more than 30 years, Gree Electric attaches great importance to the introduction and cultivation of talents. In the talent recruitment process, 50 well-known enterprises and institutions such as Gree Electric participated in the meeting to recruit talents, providing a total of 461 jobs for high-end talents such as doctors and postdoctoral students, with the highest salary level reaching 1.35 million yuan.

It is worth mentioning that the 18th China Brand Festival 2024 opened in Guangzhou on August 8, and Dong Mingzhu delivered a speech at the opening ceremony. According to China News Network, the theme of Dong Mingzhu's speech was "Creating Changes in the World and Technology Changing Life". She said that the times are changing, people's living standards have improved, and their needs have also changed. Only good products can improve people's quality of life. Therefore, the manufacturing industry cannot be fraudulent, and must use real materials and technology to uphold the power of the brand and provide consumers with products that make them feel happy in life.

In her speech, she was proud of her status as an "Internet celebrity". She believed that it was because everyone liked Gree's products that she had the opportunity to become an "Internet celebrity" in everyone's eyes. She said: "Becoming an Internet celebrity has its price. Internet celebrities need to be supported by quality and technology, especially for an entrepreneur.You really want to become an internet celebrity, but you have to do it with real ability."She specifically introduced that Gree Electric has grown from a company with no technology to a company with 120,000 patents, of which nearly 70,000 are technology patents independently developed, researched and invented.
