"Now, the enterprise is developing healthily and the management team is getting stronger and stronger. I can safely leave the management position. I hope that in the future, everyone will call me Dean and no longer call me Chairman. " Feng smiled and said.
It is reported that after resigning, Feng will concentrate on the management of Mingdeyuan and strive to build an excellent core management team and reserve senior management echelon. In the future, Mingde College will be not only a platform for internal learning and communication, but also an industrial research institution in Liang Hai.
Feng, born in 1960, is a celebrity in Zhuji. On the Hurun Global Rich List released by Hurun Research Institute in 2020, Feng ranked first in Shaoxing Rich List with assets of 32 billion yuan.
As the founder of Liang Hai Group, from 1989 to 2020, Feng led it to grow into the world's top 500.
"Feng's founder has a pattern!" After the news of Liang Hai's return came out, it immediately triggered a heated discussion in Zhejiang business circles.

Cao Jianguo: Taking the New Road of Professional Managers
I am an old professional manager. Now, my body and mind are dedicated to Liang Hai, an outstanding representative of Zhejiang private enterprises. In the early 1980s, as a young man, I walked out of the university gate, and the first thing I stepped into was the gate of state-owned enterprises. At that time, with the national distribution, I went to the northwest to engage in copper processing.
Since the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, China has become the second largest economy in the world. Liang Hai has also been split from Zhuji Copper Factory, which started its business 30 years ago, to a large private enterprise with annual revenue exceeding 100 billion yuan. Nowadays, Liang Hai's industry has also expanded from the traditional six sectors to three areas: education, health, color and intelligence, which has drawn a beautiful curve for the transformation and upgrading of private enterprises. And my own professional manager career has also written a different kind of wonderful.
In 1980s, the vast land of China was filled with a heat wave of doing things. In Zhejiang, Mr. Feng, the founder with unique vision, saw the opportunity from the hardware industry, resolutely resigned from the job of "manager of supply and marketing cooperatives", stepped into the copper processing industry and founded Zhuji County Copper Factory. At that time, Mr. Feng and I were engaged in the copper processing industry in the northwest and southeast. I never thought that we would come together and turn over a new chapter in our lives.
The birth of Liang Hai was attributed to the Party's reform and opening-up policy. Development and growth benefit from individuals' courage to change and constantly break institutional constraints. Among them, the most remarkable point is that talents begin to flow. Liang Hai, who firmly believes that talents are the first resource for enterprise development, started the construction of professional manager system in Zhejiang private enterprises in early 2000. It was after reading a job advertisement in the newspaper that I resolutely put down my position of continuous promotion in state-owned enterprises, put down everything that 18 worked hard in the northwest and went to Liang Hai.
Time flies. 20 16 is the first year that I joined Liang Hai. At that time, I was appointed as the chairman and president of the group. From the "family" of state-owned enterprises to the "wage earners" of private enterprises, and then to Chairman Liang Hai, the struggle process is full of the struggle and glory of a professional manager, which also embodies the broad mind of Zhejiang private enterprises and shows the surging vitality of Zhejiang economy.
New era, new strategy and new identity are also new challenges. Nowadays, I find that more and more young people, even the post-80s generation, have joined the board of directors in Liang Hai, and more and more professional and young professional managers have joined Liang Hai. I have new thoughts and actions on how to unite old and new forces and start a new journey in Liang Hai.
In private enterprises, professional managers are often labeled as "airborne" at first. How to get along well with entrepreneurs and how to exercise management power in private enterprises need to put forward their own "cracking methods"
As the first professional manager to join, I was promoted to the position of chairman of Shanghai Liang Group. In addition to my professional knowledge in non-ferrous metal manufacturing, it is more important to be honest and understand private entrepreneurs. And "honesty" is regarded by Liang Hai as the standard of enterprise spirit. "If you believe, it will stand, if you don't believe, it will be abolished." Forty years ago, it was the understanding and belief in reform and opening up that made the private economy set off an unprecedented development climax.
In this way, if we return to the new problems faced by an "old" professional manager, there will be a clear answer: to build a century-old excellent Liang Hai, to build an international classic brand, and to provide Liang Hai solutions for a better life, we must have great love and adhere to integrity.
Doing business is a lonely practice, which requires more difficulties and more support from the state and society. Fortunately, in Zhejiang, a hot spot of private economy, the Party and the government actively promoted the reform measures with Zhejiang characteristics in the spirit of independent innovation, which benefited enterprises like Liang Hai a lot and pointed out the direction for industrial transformation and upgrading.
Nowadays, Zhejiang private enterprises in transformation and upgrading are more eager for talents and professional managers than ever before. In the future, in the tide of market economy, I hope more professional managers like me will be brave in innovation, seize the opportunity decisively, and join hands with the most dynamic private enterprises to contribute their talents to the private economy in China and realize their personal life value.
