Name: Pan Ruijun

Nationality: Indonesia

Occupation: Deputy General Manager of SAIC -GM Wuling Indonesia Auto Co., Ltd.

Pan Ruijun, who has worked in an American car company in Indonesia for many years, joined SAIC -GMP Indonesia Auto Co., Ltd. in November 2015. “为第一家在印度尼西亚开展业务的中国汽车制造公司工作，意味着将面临新的挑战。当第一辆车下线时，我感到非常自豪和骄傲！总有一天我会告诉孙辈，你们The grandfather is a member of the successful company. "

Standing at this time window of 2022, the results of Wuling brand responded to Pan Ruijun's expectations of "successful company". Just in August, SAIC -GM's first new energy vehicle Air EV (right rudder) landed in Indonesia. The offline of this car also marked that Wuling New Energy achieved a sales volume of 1 million vehicles in just 5 years. The achievements have become the fastest car company in the world to achieve the target of millions of new energy.

Unforgettable hardships and achievements of building a factory

More than 6 years ago, when Pan Ruijun joined Wuling Indonesia's company, the company was still in the stage of just starting the construction of the factory. "What I saw at the time was a flat ground. I was hired as the person in charge of the manufacturing business. His responsibilities include the construction of the stamping workshop, body workshop, paint workshop, and assembly workshop, as well as other aspects of supporting production activities, including security, human resources Wait."

The hardships of the factory are still vivid. "In the rainy season of Indonesia, the soil is humid, and there is no construction for several months. A 5 -meter -deep pit dug by the construction party has become a huge reservoir. The construction of the factory is very tight and the team is very hard. "

The Indonesian team eventually ushered in the first time when the car left and loaded. "At that moment, you forgot all the difficult times, all disputes, and worry about the unable to complete the project on time. We ushered in a new milestone. Of course, there are more ways to go. The footprint is solid. "

Today, the "flat land" that Pan Ruijun saw that year has built a park covering an area of ​​60 hectares, including the vehicle manufacturing plant and component suppliers, and has formed a supply chain system, manufacturing system, and sales service system. Complete industrial chain.

Unforgettable "home" atmosphere

Pan Ruijun admits that Wuling products were not favored in the Indonesian market at first. "In the early years, there were some Chinese brands of motorcycles and toys. Its quality and after -sales service left a bad impression on local consumers. This is a big challenge for us to establish a brand and product image."

Consumers' confidence was established by Wuling. "My niece, some friends, and neighbors have purchased Wuling products. So far, they have given positive feedback. The process of buying a car is very long. They asked a lot of questions before paying the deposit. In the end, they liked these these. Products, because of reasonable price and technical performance, make them feel worthwhile. "Pan Ruijun introduced.

Pan Ruijun believes that Wuling Indonesia has brought himself a completely different experience. "From the beginning, the highest management promised that the company existed for a long time. At some point in the future, it will be mainly operated by local people in Indonesia. I think the company also pays special attention to employees' benefits, opportunities and development. Strong 'family' concept. "

Wuling Indonesia has signed contracts with local companies including security providers, catering providers, clean service suppliers, and component suppliers to support local business operations in Indonesia. The company also provides corporate social responsibility activities to the surrounding communities, such as breeding trees in the local area and special gifts for local residents to celebrate festivals. "In addition to product services, we have also changed the Indonesian people's views on Chinese companies through these specific things." Pan Ruijun said. Unforgettable in China

In Pan Ruijun's heart, his impression and feelings of China were very specific and vivid. In July 1996, because of his work relationship, he came to China for the first time. "This is an eye -opening experience, because China was just open to the public at that time." Soon after, he moved to Shanghai and worked in GM CHINA and SAIC -GM (SGM) until early 2000. "The biggest feeling for Shanghai is the rapid development, and every time I go, the Bund and Nanjing Road are particularly beautiful places."

During his work and life in China, he experienced many unforgettable things. “探索中国的各大城市，对潜在供应商做评估，吃异国风味的食物，学会如何喝茅台酒，在酒店睡很硬的床板，喝保温瓶里的热水，夏天有藤木床，还有The rich Chinese breakfast ... "These memories were very fine, but they kept deep in his mind. "My Chinese colleagues are very enthusiastic and helpful. They have added a lot of understanding of Chinese culture. They work very hard and diligent."

During his work in China, Pan Ruijun worked hard to learn Chinese. He believed that Chinese would also become an international language in the future, but he did not have the time to insist on himself for a long time, and he could not master fluently. "However, I told the taxi driver where to go in Chinese. I have a simple food in the restaurant and bar. I have no problem. Although I can't read it, I still pay attention to the news of China because she is affecting the world."
