The story of hard work of celebrities: Dong Mingzhu
In 1954, Dong Mingzhu was born in an ordinary family in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. She has 7 brothers and sisters, and she is the youngest. After graduation, I worked in administrative jobs at a chemical research institute in Nanjing, and then got married and had children. It was a peaceful and happy life!
In 1984, when my son was 2 years old, my husband died suddenly, which was a bolt from the blue. Dong Mingzhu was 30 years old that year.
A woman who lost her husband at the age of 30 and has a 2-year-old son may be shrouded in dark clouds for the rest of her life. However, 6 years after her husband's death, Dong Mingzhu suddenly decided that she would no longer accept God's unfair arrangements and become the master of her own destiny. She entrusted her 8-year-old son to her mother, resolutely quit her job and went south alone.

That year, at the age of 36, she arrived at Gree Company and started working there. Started as a grassroots salesperson. Low points are often turning points in life. Dong Mingzhu, who didn't know what marketing was, relied on perseverance and persistence to recover a debt of 420,000 yuan left by her predecessor in 40 days, which impressed the general manager at the time and became a classic inspirational story in the marketing industry. The entrepreneurial legend of this strong woman begins here. With diligence and sincerity, she continues to create the sales myth of Gree Company. Her personal sales once soared to 36.5 million yuan. In 1995, Dong Mingzhu became Gree's sales manager. In 2007, at the age of 53, she became president of Gree Electric Appliances Co., Ltd.
