Wu Xuesong, the former Vice General Manager of Changan Automotive Group will take on the president of Hafei Auto, as well as Zou Wenchao, the former Deputy Chief Executive of Chana Ford Mazda Auto, will be the president of Changhe Auto.

　　The key positions in the above two companies, such as chief of accounts, will be taken by some top executives sent by Changan Automobile. These changes of personnel meant China Changan Automobile Group will officially raise the curtain to reconstruct Hafei and Changhe Auto, and its strategy will be comprehensively implemented by the new president.

　　The senior executives will be in charge of Hafei and Changhe auto.

　　On January 5th, China Changan Automobile Group announced the following personnel changes in Hafei Auto. Wu Xuesong, accredited as the group leader in Hafei Auto by China Changan Automobile Group, will be the chairman and general manager of Hafei Auto. In addition, Kang ping, the former vice president of Hafei Auto and president of its sales company, will be the party secretary in Hafei Auto. As a former vice president of Chongqing Chana Auto, Wu xuesong was in charge of the overseas business before.

　　Du yi, the former chairman of Hafei Auto, will be transferred to Chongqing Chana Auto, serving as the company’s vice president. Li guochun, the former secretary of the party committee in Hafei Auto will be transferred there too, but it is still not clear about his specific position. Since October, 2009, Du yi has taken on the position as the chairman and general manager of Hafei Auto. Before that, he had taken office in Dongandongli.

　　China Changan Automobile Group has made senior personnel changes in its-owned Changhe Auto. Zou wenchao and Li li will take on the position of the chairman and the general manager respectively in Changhe Auto. Zhou jiangzhen will fill in the position of the chief accountant. Xu liuping, the president of China Changan Automobile Group, has gone to Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, and announced the above appointments personally on the same day.

　　Previously served as vice president of Chana Ford Mazda Auto, Zou wenchao has been promoted as the vice president of Changan Automobile Group after the reconstruction between Chana Auto and China National Aviation Automobile.

At the same time, Zhou shining, the former general manager of Changhe Auto will be transferred back to China National Aviation Group, while it remains unclear about his position.

　　Therefore, it’s expected that China Changan Automobile Group will soon make personnel changes in Dongandongli and Dongan Mitsubishi as well.

　　The interpretation of those personnel changes in Hafei and Changhe Auto.

　　The president’s appointment has been made with the following reasons: Wu xuesong will take over the president of Hafei Auto, resulting from his familiarity with international and overseas business, as well as the export business has been predominated in Hafei Auto. Further more, Wu once has been the general manager of Changan Automobile, Hebei branch so that he knew quite well about the North market, while Hafei Auto has focused on the market in three northeastern provinces and North China.

　　As to Zou wenchao, the newly appointed chairman of Changhe Auto, he has been the vice president of Chana Ford Mazda Auto for 8 years and during this period gained experience of operating joint venture companies. Also served as the vice president of Changan Automobile Group, he will make better use of those experiences to bring along the business reconstruction between Changhe Suzuki and Chana Suzuki.(Translator: Qinghua Serena)
