AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/15 Report--

After April, Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Changan Automobile) once again carried out a major personnel adjustment. Zhu Huarong will no longer serve concurrently as president of Changan Automobile and will be replaced by Wang Jun, the current vice president, and the relevant procedures are being carried out.

As can be seen from the "Enterprise leadership team" column on the official website of Changan Automobile Brand, Wang Jun's position has been updated to President and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. It is reported that Wang Jun's term of office will be the same as that of the eighth board of directors after the publicity period. Zhu Huarong will continue to serve as chairman and deputy secretary of the party committee of Changan Automobile.

According to public data, Wang Jun was born in 1972 with a master's degree. During his tenure in Changan Automobile, he has served as vice president, marketing minister, general manager, assistant president, executive vice president, and deputy secretary of the party committee of Changan Automotive Engineering Research Institute. He has accumulated many years of experience in research and development, market planning, enterprise management and so on.

As early as June this year, when Changan Automobile proposed to recommend Comrade Zhu Huarong as chairman and party committee secretary of Changan Automobile, and concurrently chairman of Changan Ford Motor Co., Ltd., when he succeeded Comrade Zhang Baolin, former chairman of Changan Automobile, there was no clear adjustment to the post of president of Changan Automobile. Now, Wang Jun has been promoted to the position of president, which means that the leadership team of Changan Automobile has been officially settled.

Since becoming chairman of Changan Automobile in 2017, Zhang Baolin has led the company to start its third venture. Until now, Changan Automobile is still in an important period of its third innovation and entrepreneurship, and its brand influence and sales volume have also been significantly improved with the development of recent years.

According to the September sales released by Changan Automobile Group, the company sold 205543 cars in the month, up 28.6% from a year earlier, and its cumulative sales reached 1370881 in the first three quarters of 2020, up 12% from a year earlier. Sales of Changan Chinese brand cars reached 153039 in September, an increase of 31.9% over the same period last year, leading the industry.

Especially with the continued hot sales of the PLUS family and UNI-T, Changan Automobile still maintains a steady upward momentum. As of October 10 this year, Changan China brand car retail has exceeded 1 million.

According to the annual performance report disclosed by Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. According to the report, Changan Automobile achieved an operating income of 32.782 billion yuan in the first half of the year, an increase of 9.73 percent over the same period last year, and the net profit belonging to shareholders of listed companies was 2.602 billion yuan, an increase of 216.17 percent over the same period last year, including 216 million yuan in government subsidies, making it one of the few car companies that bucked the trend.

Although only relying on the automobile business Changan Automobile is still in a state of loss, it has been able to achieve growth against the market this year, and has mainly obtained three non-recurrent profit and loss projects with a total net profit of about 5.275 billion yuan. including 2.1 billion yuan from four strategic investors introduced by Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., and 1.4 billion yuan transferred from Changan Peugeot Citroen Automobile Co., Ltd. And the increase in the share price of the Ningde era stock held by the company increased the net profit by about 1.775 billion yuan.

In any case, the performance of Changan Automobile this year is obviously better than that of the industry. The joint venture brand Changan Ford sold 27730 vehicles in September, up 32.6% from the same period last year. Changan Mazda accumulated 14896 new cars in September, up 16.1% from the same period last year. Both are less than the sales of their own brands. Changan sales accounted for 75% of the group's total sales in September, which shows that the impact on Changan Group is gradually expanding.

During Zhu Huarong's tenure as president, the management team of Changan Automobile, under the leadership of the Armament Group and the Board of Directors of Changan Automobile, has been exposed in front of the media many times, and it can be said to be a big spokesman for Changan Automobile. And now Wang Jun takes over this important position, which means that the challenge of leading Changan brand upward breakthrough will become its new goal and continue to strengthen the pace of Changan Automobile's third venture.
