Following the resignation of the company’s director, vice president, and secretary Wang Jingdong in August 2020, Gree (000651.SZ) has lost again A senior executive was appointed.
On the evening of February 21, Gree Electric announced that the company’s board of directors received a written resignation report from the company’s director and executive president Huang Hui on February 19. Huang Hui applied to resign as a director and executive president due to personal reasons. After resignation, Huang Hui no longer holds any position in the company. Huang Hui holds 7,380,000 shares of the company’s stock, accounting for 0.12% of the company’s total share capital.
According to public information, Huang Hui was born in 1963 and is 58 years old. He has a postgraduate degree. He joined Gree Electric in 1992, only two years later than Dong Mingzhu, chairman and president of Gree Electric. From August 2000 to May 2014, Huang Hui served as the vice president of Gree Electric. From June 2014 to August 2017, he was the executive vice president of Gree Electric.

From May 2012 to resignation, he was the director of Gree Electric. He concurrently served as the chairman of Zhuhai Gree Daikin Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., and the vice chairman of the Chinese Society of Refrigeration.
Huang Hui has worked for Gree Electric for nearly 30 years and has been the CEO of Gree Electric. Huang Hui can be regarded as a veteran employee of Gree Electric. He is also the number two person of Gree Electric. He is seen by the outside world with Wang Jingdong, who left before. As Dong Mingzhu’s right-hand man, it has even been speculated to be Dong Mingzhu’s successor and Gree Electric’s future helm.
Dong Mingzhu, Wang Jingdong, and Huang Hui have worked together for a long time in Gree Electric. They were once regarded as the “iron triangle” of Gree Electric. Today, the old “iron triangle” is only Dong Mingzhu.
Liu Buchen, an analyst in the home appliance industry, analyzed to a reporter from the Economic Observation Network that after Huang Hui resigned, it is very likely that there will be a situation that will occur after Wang Jingdong’s resignation, that is, Gree Electric finds someone to top Huang Hui’s technical post. strong>Huang Hui’s resignation affects Gree ElectricThe direct impact of success will not be great, but the indirect impact is not small: “What happened to Gree Electric Appliances has caused the public and investors to wonder, and the core management continues to drain?” Liu Buchen believes that this doubt , Will in turn affect the confidence of the company’s internal and external stakeholders in the future development of Gree Electric. If the confidence collapses, it will be difficult to rebuild the image.
Old senior executives resign
Huang Hui is already the second senior executive of Gree Electric to lose in six months. In August 2020, Gree Electric announced that Wang Jingdong, the company’s director, vice president, and secretary of the board, resigned due to personal reasons and will no longer hold any position in the company after resignation. Wang Jingdong had worked for Gree Electric for 18 years when he left.
Wang Jingdong’s resignation was relatively sudden. Gree Electric first arranged for director Zhang Wei to act as the secretary to the board of directors.

Shu Lizhi joined Gree Electric in December 2019 and served as the deputy director and director of the Wuhan Special Office of the National Audit Office.
For Liu Buchen, the news of Huang Hui’s resignation made him feel more abnormal than the news of Wang Jingdong’s resignation. First, Huang Hui’s position is higher than Wang Jingdong’s. Huang Hui is the executive president and Wang Jingdong is the vice president. Second, Huang Hui’s position is more critical than Wang Jingdong’s. Wang Jingdong is in charge of finance. Huang Hui is Technical background, former chief engineer of Gree Electric Appliances, Dong Mingzhu has always been proud of Gree Electric’s technology. Huang Hui, who has worked at Gree Electric for nearly 30 years, has contributed to the technological development of Gree Electric; third, the company changed its major shareholder. The absence of actual controllers and Wang Jingdong’s resignation have preceded, and now Gree’s senior management needs to maintain stability to maintain public confidence in the company.
For some employees of Gree Electric, the news of Huang Hui’s resignation is not as impactful as Wang Jingdong’s resignation: “When President Wang left, everyone was surprised and found it strange. Mr. Wang had a very close relationship with Mr. Dong. Okay.” A technician in the air-conditioning field who has worked in Gree Electric for more than ten years told the Economic Observer that the Jingdong resignation incident is expected to pave the way. After the news of Huang Hui’s resignation came out, colleagues around him were not too surprised.
Speaking of Huang Hui, the above-mentioned Gree Electric technician evaluated him as “excellent technology” and “mastery of core technology
