　　Running around, committing crimes, carrying 7 lives

　　Killed two Foshan patrolmen 12 years ago.

　　The Ministry of Public Security offered a reward of 50,000 yuan.

　　He was arrested after serving his sentence under a pseudonym in Jiangxi for many years.

　　This newspaper (reporter Weng Xiaopeng, Wang Guangyong, Zhang Zhang) once fled to Zhaoqing, Foshan, Guilin, Guangxi, Chongqing and other places. The A-level wanted criminal suspect of the Ministry of Public Security, Cheng Ruilong, a murderer with seven lives on his back, was finally seized in Jiangxi. On June 2, Jiangxi Provincial Public Security Bureau revealed through the media that Cheng Ruilong had been anonymous for many years. On May 31 this year, the criminal police detachment of Nanchang Public Security Bureau verified that Cheng Ruilong, who was serving his sentence under an alias, was the suspect on the A-level wanted order of the Ministry of Public Security. Cheng Ruilong was also the suspect who brutally killed two policemen in Foshan.

　　The reporter learned from the Foshan Public Security Bureau yesterday that Cheng Ruilong will be taken back to Foshan for trial. The Foshan Public Security Bureau is currently preparing relevant materials and plans to hold a press conference in the near future to inform the relevant case.

　　Foshan police:

　　A press conference will be held to inform the case.

　　Yesterday evening, the reporter contacted Wu Jinning, the current deputy director of Foshan Public Security Bureau, who was in charge of investigating the case at that time. He told the reporter that the Foshan Public Security Bureau is actively studying the relevant case and the Public Security Bureau is preparing to hold a press conference to announce the situation at an appropriate time.

　　According to a police insider, Cheng Ruilong is from Guangdong, because he killed two Foshan policemen, and the case will be handed over to Foshan police. At present, all the old policemen who participated in the battle 12 years ago have received orders from their superiors to actively prepare relevant materials, including the case at that time.

　　Case review

　　Kidnapping Nanhai boss

　　According to the police officer Chen who was involved in the arrest at that time, in the summer of 1995, when Cheng Ruilong came to Foshan, Guangdong Province to find friends to play, he found that Li Hua (a pseudonym), the owner of Nanhai, who was engaged in refrigeration business, was rich. On the same day, he discussed with three friends, "It is better to kidnap Li Hua and get some money."

　　Later, Cheng Ruilong and his friends followed Li Hua home. As soon as Li Huagang opened the door, Cheng Ruilong and other four people rushed in to control Li Hua, his wife and children, and then found more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars and US dollars in his home. Cheng Ruilong thinks that the money is too little, so he wants Li Hua to take another 300,000 yuan, or he will kill his family. But Li Hua said that there was only 200,000 yuan. After 30 minutes, Li Hua took 200,000 yuan from the frozen shop and gave it to Cheng Ruilong and others.

　　One hour after the incident, one of Cheng Ruilong’s associates was arrested, and another was shot dead on the spot for resisting arrest. Cheng Ruilong fled to Guangxi, and then committed many crazy crimes in Guangxi, Chongqing and Jiangxi.

　　Kill two patrolmen

　　At 7: 30 pm on May 12, 1997, Jiang Minghua, the third squad leader of the second squadron of the first brigade of the patrol detachment city, took Deng Yongjian to perform plainclothes pre-crouching on the section of National Highway 325.

　　At 10 pm, Jiang Minghua and Deng Yongjian prepared to withdraw as planned. Just as they were turning from National Highway 325 to Qinren West Road in the city, through the dim street lamp, they suddenly found two men acting suspiciously on the sidewalk of the bustling Bai Yan Park, one of whom was Cheng Ruilong. At the moment when the two men came forward to conduct an investigation, the gangsters who saw the bad situation suddenly pulled out their pistols from their trouser pockets and shot at Jiang Minghua and Deng Yongjian. They died after being shot. A policeman who came to support later was also shot and injured.

　　Crime-ridden Cheng Ruilong

　　Cheng Ruilong, male, 36 years old, lives in Fudong Management District, Dalubian Town, Lianzhou City, Guangdong Province. He has a grumpy personality since he was a child and has been playing with some "gangsters" nearby for a long time. In 1993, he was re-educated through labor in Foshan for two years for theft. He has been on the run since the kidnapping case in 1995. In the summer of 1997, Cheng Ruilong returned to Foshan again. When the police found something suspicious, they went forward to check it. Without the police being prepared at all, Cheng Ruilong shot and killed two policemen, Jiang Minghua and teammate Deng Yongjian.

　　In 2001, the Ministry of Public Security issued an A-level wanted order for the whole country, wanted Cheng Ruilong, a fugitive suspected of armed robbery and murder. At that time, the wanted order said that Cheng Ruilong had committed six armed robberies and murders with others in Zhaoqing, Foshan, Guilin and Chongqing from 1996 to 1999, killing seven people and injuring two others, and had been absconding ever since.

　　In 2005, Cheng Ruilong was arrested for robbery and sentenced to seven years in prison. Cheng Ruilong used the pseudonym "Zhou Quan", and other criminal facts were not exposed at that time. Since then, he has been serving his sentence in a prison in Jiangxi Province.

　　The police investigating the case recalled that Deng Yongjian, who died, had just entered the police camp and had not worn a gun.

　　"It has been 12 years. I received instructions from my superiors at 9 o’clock that night. All our patrolmen were armed and on standby, and then searched the city, but unfortunately I couldn’t catch him." Chen Jianxin, the deputy commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Criminal Police Detachment of Foshan Public Security Bureau, told the reporter that all the policemen who knew this matter were old policemen, and he still remembered the case vividly. At about 8 pm on May 12, 1997, Jiang Minghua, two comrades-in-arms of his patrol detachment, and Deng Yongjian, a teammate, were ordered to crouch near Bai Yan Park in Chancheng District, that is, Qinren West Road. At that time, the two of them found Cheng Ruilong suspicious. "They went up and checked without knowing that the suspect had a gun." Captain Chen said that Deng Yongjian had just entered the police camp and had not worn a gun. I didn’t expect the suspect to shoot just after going up to check, and the young Deng Yongjian died on the spot. Later, another comrade-in-arms, Jiang Minghua, was also shot in the struggle with the gangsters.

　　"Jiang Minghua was rescued in the hospital for many days, but he still couldn’t save his life. My two comrades-in-arms sacrificed like this." Chen Jianxin and other comrades-in-arms received an order one hour after the incident, armed to the teeth to search around the crime scene, but still failed to catch the suspect.

　　"(Cheng Ruilong is going to be escorted back) I learned the news on June 1, when there was a meeting and everyone was very excited. It has been 12 years." Chen Jianxin told reporters that the information came from the Jiangxi police at that time, and all the police were very excited, and at the same time, they felt very heavy, because it brought back a memory. However, Cheng Ruilong’s arrest finally comforted his comrades in the sky, and he could also give the public an account. The justice of the sky is long and the net is not leaking.

　　Extended reading

　　Hiding one’s name in prison

　　Four years later, it happened.

　　According to the Jiangxi Provincial Public Security Department, on May 21st, the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Department immediately deployed the criminal investigation technical department of the whole province to conduct an investigation after receiving the notification from the Ministry of Public Security on the investigation of Cheng Ruilong, a major fugitive. Three days later, Nie Nianming, a policeman of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Nanchang Public Security Bureau, made repeated inquiries through the online information system, and initially determined that "Zhou Quan" who was serving his sentence in a prison in Jiangxi was the same person as Cheng Ruilong, a Class A wanted criminal of the Ministry of Public Security. After repeated examination by criminal investigation experts of Jiangxi Provincial Public Security Department, it was finally confirmed that "Zhou Quan" was Cheng Ruilong, a murderous maniac who had absconded for 13 years. Subsequently, the police took it away for further examination. After the trial, Cheng Ruilong confessed to his criminal facts.

　　During the trial, the police learned that Cheng Ruilong was re-educated through labor for theft for two years in Foshan, Guangdong Province in 1993. He has been on the run since the kidnapping case in 1995. "At first, he said nothing." Police said that after six hours of trial, Cheng Ruilong’s psychological defense line completely collapsed. Until 10 o’clock on June 1, Cheng Ruilong truthfully confessed the whole process of committing the crime.

　　According to Jiangxi police, Cheng Ruilong said that he knew that he had committed a murder, and if he was caught, he would be sentenced to death, so he dared not go home, hid in hiding, changed several names and traveled a lot, and finally settled in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province and hid in anonymity.

　　On January 18th, 2005, Cheng Ruilong was arrested by Jiangxi police for robbery with others and sentenced to 7 years’ imprisonment. At this time, Cheng Ruilong used the transformation method, changed his name, and used the pseudonym of "Zhou Quan" when he was in prison. At that time, he did not reveal other criminal facts for various reasons. After that, he was put into two prisons in Jiangxi Province to serve his sentence, until the incident broke out.

　　The Ministry of Public Security issued a wanted order.

　　There is a reward of 50,000 for Cheng Ruilong.

　　In 2001, the Ministry of Public Security issued an A-level wanted order to the whole country, and published Cheng Ruilong’s information in detail. He was born in Hanchong Village, Pudong Management District, Dalubian Town, Lianzhou City, Guangdong Province, on January 10, 1973. He used to be alias "Jackie Chan, Huanglong, AARON Li, He Moshi and libing" and had a mole (removed) on the right side of his nose, but he did not disclose his pseudonym of "Zhou Quan". From June, 1996 to April, 1999, he committed six armed robberies and homicides in Zhaoqing, Foshan, Guilin and Chongqing, Guangdong, killing seven people and injuring two others before fleeing.

　　According to the wanted order of the Ministry of Public Security, 50,000 yuan will be awarded to informants who have found clues and units and individuals who have made meritorious arrests.

　　CCTV News:On April 25th, the Civil Aviation Administration sent a letter to 44 foreign airlines, asking them to correct their wrong practices in official website that violated the laws of China and the one-China policy within 30 days from the date of the letter. As of May 25th, 18 of the 44 foreign airlines have completed rectification, and 26 have applied for extension due to technical reasons and promised rectification. The earliest promised completion date of rectification is May 28th, and the latest is July 25th. The Civil Aviation Administration has replied and agreed. The Civil Aviation Administration will pay close attention to the rectification of the above airlines and protect the rights of foreign airlines to carry out air passenger and cargo transportation business in China according to law.

　　[News Tracking] Many foreign airlines added "China (CN)" to Taiwan Province.

　　We have seen that many foreign airlines websites have been corrected, but some have not been modified.

　

　　According to previous media reports, it was confirmed that Air Canada, Lufthansa, British Airways, Finnair and Asiana Airlines received the letter from the Civil Aviation Administration of China and made amendments accordingly. Take Air Canada as an example. On its official booking website, in the multilingual booking system including English, Chinese and German, Taiwan Province airports are marked with China (CN). In Asiana Airlines’ booking system, Taipei has been listed as "Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan" with Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin.

　　In addition to these five airlines, the reporter found through consulting other foreign airlines’ websites that some airlines have clearly marked Taiwan Province as "Taiwan Province, China" in the "country/region" list, and added "China" or abbreviated "CN" after destination cities such as Taipei. These airlines include Alitalia, Aeroflot, Russian S7, Philippine Airlines, Swiss Airlines, Nordic Airlines and so on.

　　However, we also see that a considerable number of airlines have confirmed that they have received the letter from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, but they have not made any changes so far. Take the English website of American Airlines (AA) as an example. It not only lists Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, Macao and China in the list of "countries/regions", but also marks the locations of airports such as Taipei as "Taiwan Province", and even the airports in Hong Kong and Macau are not marked as China.

　　Many foreign airlines clearly marked Taiwan Province as "Taiwan Province, China"

　　In addition to these five airlines, the reporter found through consulting other foreign airlines’ websites that some airlines have clearly marked Taiwan Province as "Taiwan Province, China" in the "country/region" list, and added "China" or abbreviated "CN" after destination cities such as Taipei. These airlines include Alitalia, Aeroflot, Russian S7, Philippine Airlines, Swiss Airlines, Nordic Airlines and so on.

　　There are still foreign airlines that separate Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, Macao and China.

　　However, we also see that a considerable number of airlines have confirmed that they have received the letter from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, but they have not made any changes so far. Take the English website of American Airlines (AA) as an example. It not only lists Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, Macao and China in the list of "countries/regions", but also marks the locations of airports such as Taipei as "Taiwan Province", and even the airports in Hong Kong and Macau are not marked as China.

　　Foreign Ministry of China: Foreign companies in China should respect China’s sovereign territorial integrity.

　　Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China also responded to this matter. At that time, a reporter asked questions, and the United States issued a statement a few days ago, accusing China authorities of asking foreign enterprises not to list Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan as "countries" in their websites and promotional materials. What’s the comment of the Foreign Ministry? On the same day, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Geng Shuang said that foreign companies operating in China should respect China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, abide by China’s laws and respect the national feelings of the China people. At the same time, the spokesman reiterated that China will continue to handle its relations with foreign countries in accordance with the one-China principle. Then, we will continue to pay attention to the follow-up news as to whether the China administration will impose corresponding penalties on foreign airlines that fail to make amendments within the time limit.

　　(General Station reporter Lei Wei)

　　Wei Jianjun has been a little annoyed recently. A week ago, the news that "a number of middle and high-level employees of Great Wall Motor resigned" made Great Wall Motor once again stand on the cusp.

　　According to this report, before and after the Spring Festival, many middle and senior employees of Great Wall Motor Brand Company (including brands such as Haval, Wei, Tanks and Euler) offered to leave, including at least three senior employees at the vice president level and over ten section chiefs and ministers (directors and senior directors).

　　The personnel adjustment of Great Wall Motor is nothing new.

　　In 2023, many senior executives of brands such as Wei Pai and Haval changed frequently. There are many speculations about the reasons for the resignation of relevant executives, including unbearable work pressure and poor management. For the departure tide around the Spring Festival, Tencent’s "High Beam" column pointed to the internal anti-corruption. "The top management may have to make a big adjustment and change blood through this incident."

　　Great Wall Motor does not recognize this. In a statement provided to Time Finance, it said that it would sue for accusing the report of "malicious speculation and misleading public opinion". However, Great Wall Motor did not inform the specific information of the relevant employees in this statement.

　　Wei Jianjun, the chairman of Great Wall Motor, still has a lot of troubles in the past two years-in 2022, the annual sales volume of Great Wall Motor suddenly dropped from 1.28 million in the previous year to less than 1.07 million, showing signs of decline. At that time, Wei Jianjun shouted, "Great Wall Motor will squat in 2022, in order to accumulate strength and achieve a better take-off in 2023", and set the annual sales target for 2023 as 1.6 million vehicles.

　　Great Wall Motor finally failed to achieve this set sales target. In 2023, it sold 1.231 million vehicles, nearly 370,000 vehicles short of the target set at the beginning of the year, and also lower than the sales of 1.28 million vehicles in 2021. Sales in 2023 failed to meet expectations, and the net profit of Great Wall Motor also fell by more than 15% year-on-year.

　　Wei Jianjun, the helmsman, may not be able to sit still, because of the slumping sales volume and declining profits, and he began to make frequent appearances and voices at the front desk.

　　Lao Wei’s persistence and employees’ helplessness

　　Wei Jianjun is the soul of Great Wall Motor.

　　In 1990, in the sixth year of the establishment of Great Wall Motor Factory, Wei Jianjun became the general manager of Great Wall Motor Industry Corporation. Since then, Wei Jianjun has been at the helm of this enterprise for 34 years. In private, many employees call him "Lao Wei".

　　In 2016, the annual sales volume of Great Wall Motor exceeded 1 million vehicles for the first time, making it one of the independent brands with the highest sales volume in China. Its pickup trucks and SUVs are selling well, and Haval H6 sells more than 30,000 vehicles a month, making it one of the best-selling models in China.

　　In the eyes of many employees of Great Wall Motor, Lao Wei is a "technology fanatic", and he is especially persistent and serious about technology, which is one of the key factors for the success of Great Wall Motor in the field of fuel SUV and pickup truck. Lao Wei is also a racing driver and a car fan, and studying cars is his great hobby. Today, he often appears in front of employees and the outside world in overalls.

　　In the documentary "The Road to Brand Power" launched by CCTV, Wei Jianjun once recalled the experience of building a car more than 30 years ago: "We lacked technology at that time and were always envious and even admired foreign capital (enterprises), so we always spared no effort in technology to break through."

　　"In terms of investment in technology research and development, we have an unwritten slogan called’ excessive investment in research and development’. Excessive investment is not a waste, but a longer-term investment." Wei Jianjun said.

　　Anyone who has had contact with Wei Jianjun knows that he is strict with his work. "Lao Wei’s requirements for product technology are strictly critical." A Great Wall Motor employee disclosed to Time Finance, "The technical department of Great Wall Motor has the most resources, but it is also the most stressful, and it is more common for (employees) to be scolded."

　　Yang Lin (pseudonym), who worked in Great Wall Motor for 4 years, recalled that Wei Jianjun used to ask the relevant leaders of the brand to lead the main person in charge of the model to report to him regularly. "(Wei Jianjun) If he is not satisfied with his work, he will directly complain." The main person in charge of these models is often an old employee of Great Wall Motor who has been in office for more than 10 years.

　　The management of Great Wall Motor is self-contained and strict. On many social platforms, many former employees of Great Wall Motor complained that Great Wall Motor needed to participate in military training, prohibit eating and wasting, queue up to go to work, and go to designated areas to answer calls.

　　"Take eating as an example. When I am on the job, I will be fined for eating waste, and the section chief and minister in charge will be jointly punished." Yang Lin told Time Finance. Others need military training and other content, and Yang Lin also said that most of them are true.

　　Time Finance verified the authenticity of the above-mentioned internal staff daily regulations with Great Wall Motor. No reply has been received as of press time.

　　Wei Jianjun’s Great Wall Motor’s pursuit of technology and strict management coexist, which makes employees feel nervous and stressed, and also discourages some job seekers. However, in Yang Lin’s view, Great Wall Motor is still a good choice if you want to get tempered and improve your technical level.

　　Be involved in the eye of public opinion storm

　　The sudden departure of a number of middle and senior managers made Great Wall Motor and Wei Jianjun stand in the eye of public opinion storm.

　　"I heard that the departure before the Spring Festival was too fast, and it was only two months." Tencent reported that Li Peng, the head of the sales and service center of Great Wall Motor, left the company suddenly, which surprised his colleagues.

　　Also leaving before and after the Spring Festival was Qiao Xinyu, executive vice president of Harvard brand marketing, who worked for Great Wall Motor for more than 6 years. According to the above report, Qiao Xinyu officially resigned at the end of December last year and completed the resignation procedures in mid-January before the Spring Festival this year. Qiao Xinyu’s last Weibo about Great Wall Motor was released on December 19th, 2023.

　　Time Finance also noticed that the deputy general-level employees who left at almost the same time as Li Peng Cheng and Qiao Xinyu, as well as Gu Huajun, the head of the user operation center of Great Wall Motor. Gu Huajun has worked for Great Wall Motor for many years, and has served as Director of Digital Marketing Department of Great Wall Motor, Senior Director of Wei Brand User Operation Department and Senior Director of User Operation of Great Wall Motor.

　　After the above information was exposed, Great Wall Motor issued a statement to respond, but it did not deny the information about the resignation of relevant executives. Time Finance once again verified the resignation information of the above-mentioned senior executives with Great Wall Motor, but no reply was received as of press time.

　　Despite this, the information from official channels can also reflect the changes of executives within Great Wall Motor.

　　On November 3, last year, Li Ruifeng, CGO (Chief Growth Officer) of Great Wall Motor, announced the latest appointment in Weibo: Liu Yanzhao is also the general manager of Wei brand and tank brand, responsible for the overall management of Wei brand and tank brand; Zhao Yongpo will be the general manager of Haval brand, taking charge of the overall management of Haval brand; Gu Yukun, the commodity director of the former Tank 500, will serve as the executive deputy general manager of the tank brand.

　　The hasty departure and frequent changes of executives can’t help but make the outside world suspicious. What’s wrong with Great Wall Motor? Why do talents leave one after another?

　　Media reports pointed the reason to the internal anti-corruption of Great Wall Motor, saying that Wei Jianjun had great doubts about the marketing of vehicle business last year. At the same time, in November, 2023, Wei Jianjun at Wuzhen Internet Summit denounced employees as passive defenders in the face of public opinion, saying that they were "not even as good as a watchdog" and were questioned as dissatisfied with employees.

　　The above reasons may have triggered a new round of organizational structure and personnel adjustment quietly and quickly at the end of the year.

　　In fact, Great Wall Motor has already started organizational restructuring. In June, 2023, Feng Mu, President of Great Wall Motor, revealed at the shareholders’ meeting that Great Wall Motor has completed the global management mode, and the "541" management mode of five large and medium-sized companies-four brand organizations-one Great Wall Motor is being consolidated, and the talent echelon construction and incentive mechanism are also accelerating.

　　According to media reports, at an internal meeting at the end of December last year, Feng Mu and Li Ruifeng announced the organizational structure adjustment plan of the large, medium and Taiwan departments in Great Wall Motor’s vehicle business unit, from which the former five large, medium and Taiwan units were changed into seven large, medium and Taiwan units, with the aim of optimizing and integrating resources, improving efficiency and avoiding power concentration.

　　The organizational structure adjustment plan has undergone major changes after half a year, or it means the failure of the old plan of Great Wall Motor and the confusion of the status quo. Time Finance also asked Great Wall Motor for the change of the above organizational structure plan, but no reply was received as of press time.

　　"For Great Wall Motor, technological changes such as batteries and interconnection are not the ultimate challenges. The biggest challenge is the changes in system, mechanism and culture." Wei Jianjun has publicly stated.

　　In addition to the changes in organizational structure, it is difficult for latecomers to integrate, which may also be the reason why some senior executives left, as Li Peng showed.

　　"There will be contradictions between’ Old Baoding’ and newcomers." Yang Lin said to Time Finance: "Older employees in Great Wall Motor may not agree with the newcomers’ ideas, and some old leaders will directly deny the newcomers’ plans."

　　In addition, in Yang Lin’s view, there is still a phenomenon of "one word at a time" in the department. "Even if the leader’s idea is wrong, employees will be required to implement it." He said.

　　Internal and external difficulties, Wei Jianjun came forward to stabilize the situation

　　The internal organizational structure is unstable, and the external market environment of Great Wall Motor is not optimistic.

　　Wei Jianjun once said that the squat in 2022 is to take off better in 2023. However, Great Wall Motor did not "jump" as expected in 2023.

　　According to the performance report, the total operating income of Great Wall Motor in 2023 was 173.410 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.26%. However, the net profit is shrinking. In 2023, the net profit was 7.01 billion yuan, down 15.06% year-on-year. Great Wall Motor said that the decline in net profit was mainly due to the impact of exchange rate gains during the same period.

　　For Great Wall Motor, 2023 is a challenging year: in 2023, Great Wall Motor sold 1.231 million vehicles at home and abroad, failing to meet the sales target of 1.6 million vehicles set at the beginning of the year. Compared with BYD, Chery and Geely, which are also the top four independent brands, Great Wall Motor’s sales in 2023 were at the bottom. In 2023, the sales of the first three vehicles were 3.02 million, 2.55 million and 1.88 million respectively.

　　Great Wall Motor performed well in overseas markets in 2023. From 2021 to 2023, the overseas sales of Great Wall Motor were 143,000 vehicles, 173,000 vehicles and 316,000 vehicles, respectively, which increased substantially for many years. Its overseas market sales in 2023 also surpassed Geely, BYD, Changan and other car companies, and the overseas sales of the latter three companies in the same year were 274,000, 242,000 and 236,000 respectively.

　　Great Wall Motor’s sales growth in the domestic market is limited. According to calculation, the domestic sales of Great Wall Motor from 2021 to 2023 were 1.138 million, 894,000 and 915,000, and its domestic sales in 2023 decreased by 223,000 compared with the peak period in 2021.

　　When attending the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June last year, Feng Mu revealed that he would strive to achieve sales of 1.9 million vehicles and a net profit of 7.2 billion yuan. Great Wall Motor confirmed the accuracy of this goal to Time Finance at the beginning of this year. This means that Great Wall Motor plans to achieve a 54.5% year-on-year sales growth of about 670,000 vehicles this year.

　　The attitude of the outside world to Great Wall Motor to achieve this goal is not optimistic. Debon Securities Research Report pointed out that in 2024, Great Wall Motor will still face multiple risks such as market price competition exceeding expectations, the company’s new energy transformation falling short of expectations, and the company’s new car sales falling short of expectations.

　　According to the rating report published by Dahua Jixian quoted by Titanium Media, it believes that the sales target of 1.9 million vehicles in 2024 is "impossible to achieve". Based on this, the bank cut the net profit forecast of Great Wall Motor from 2023 to 2025 by 13%, 27% and 28% respectively, lowered the target price from HK$ 13.5 to HK$ 9, and downgraded its rating from "buy" to "hold".

　　Wei Jianjun went to the front of the stage more often, and began to create momentum for new cars frequently-before and after the listing of 700 Hi-4T, a new Great Wall car, at the end of February, the tank brand released a video of Wei Jianjun personally "strictly reviewing" the new car, and Wei Jianjun praised the new car.

　　A screenshot provided by the tank shows that Wei Jianjun said in the WeChat circle of friends that "Tank 700 has been experienced for more than two months, and it feels very good, surpassing the million-class luxury SUV in an all-round way. The work of the tank team and technical center is worthy of recognition, which definitely brings value to users. Enjoy."

　　Wei Jianjun also attended the new car delivery ceremony and presented the new car keys to the car owners’ representatives. According to this, market participants believe that Wei Jianjun’s frequent appearances are intended to send a signal to the outside world: Great Wall Motor’s products and internal structure are constantly being optimized and tend to be stable, hoping to boost market and consumer confidence.

　　As far as the most intuitive market sales are concerned, Great Wall Motor is still facing a severe test this year. In the first two months of this year, Great Wall Motor sold a total of 175,000 vehicles, achieving 9.2% of the annual sales target. In the next 10 months, Great Wall Motor needs to sell about 173,000 cars every month to achieve the annual sales target. It’s not easy.
