On February 23rd, Tong Ren Tang announced that the production and operation are all normal at present, and a board meeting will be held as soon as possible to recommend a director as the chairman and legal representative.
In official website, Beijing Commission for Discipline Inspection, Gao Zhenkun was the fourth cadre investigated in 20021. His employment in Tongrentang Company can be traced back to 200 1 year, and it has been 20 years now.
Gao Zhenkun, born in July, 1963, is 58 years old. He started work on 16. Looking back on his work experience, he has been in Tongrentang for at least 20 years.
Wind data shows that in April of 20001year, Gao Zhenkun served as the deputy general manager of Beijing Tongrentang Co., Ltd. and became the chief accountant four years later. As of the time of investigation, he still held several positions in the Tongrentang system. Tong Ren Tang's 20 19 annual report stated that Gao Zhenkun was also a representative of the 16th People's Congress of Dongcheng District of Beijing and the 15th People's Congress of Beijing.
Gao Zhenkun involves two listed companies. First, from 2065438 to June 2005, he has served as the chairman of Tong Ren Tang, an A-share company. Secondly, he served as the chairman of Tongrentang Technology (1666). HK), a Hong Kong stock company, retired on 20 15 and 20 19.
As of the close of February 23rd, the share prices of the above two listed companies both rose sharply, with Tongrentang rising by 7.34% and Tongrentang Technology rising by 12.35%.
Before being investigated, Gao Zhenkun's last public participation in the meeting of Tong Ren Tang was at the end of 2020. On June 27, 2020, Tongrentang Group held a working conference on Chinese herbal medicine breeding base. Nearly 100 people attended the meeting, and General Manager Gao Zhenkun appeared. Wang Guiping, Party Secretary and Chairman of Tongrentang Group, Ding Yongling, Gu Haiou and Wen Qin, deputy general managers, and heads of breeding companies and bases also attended, and visited the scientific research and seed industry base of China Chinese Medicine Company.
During his long 20-year tenure in Tong Ren Tang, Gao Zhenkun experienced several controversial events related to quality and safety.
Among them, the most famous honey producer in Beijing Tongrentang recycled a large number of expired and about to expire honey at the end of 20 18. Once this incident was exposed, it triggered an accountability investigation by the Supervision Committee of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and finally the responsible person was seriously held accountable. Tong Ren Tang * * * 14 people were held accountable.
Gao Zhenkun was then the deputy secretary and general manager of the Party Committee of Beijing Tongrentang Group and the chairman of Beijing Tongrentang Co., Ltd., and was given a serious warning within the party.
At that time, the investigation team believed that the Party Committee of Beijing Tongrentang Group did not give full play to its role as the political core and leadership core of state-owned enterprises, its internal management was chaotic, its supervision and control of subordinate enterprises were weak, its management and responsibility were neglected in the production, operation and quality management of holding enterprises, and its quality control of related enterprises was not effectively implemented, resulting in serious losses of state-owned assets and a bad influence on the brand image of Tongrentang.
The incident at that time had a far-reaching impact on Tong Ren Tang, because it touched the red line of food safety.
As an old-fashioned enterprise, Tongrentang boasts that "although the processing is complicated, it will not dare to save labor, and although the taste is expensive, it will not dare to reduce materials". However, the expired honey incident has shaken the confidence of consumers and also had a negative impact on Tongrentang's company.
"The overall control of product quality is very strict, but * * * carries a brand, and it is easy to win and lose." The staff of the above Tongrentang subsidiary said.
During Gao Zhenkun's tenure as Chairman of Tongrentang Technology from 20 15 to 20 19, the company was also involved in many disputes. For example, from 2065438 to March 2006, a consumer commissioned a testing agency to test the company's edible Ejiao, and the results were completely inconsistent with the actual feeding situation, which caused doubts. The company sent samples of relevant batches of products to China Food and Drug Inspection Institute for inspection, and the conclusion was that it met the identification requirements of China Pharmacopoeia 20 15.
As a state-owned time-honored enterprise, Tongrentang has a huge group of 36 production bases, which can produce more than 2,600 kinds of medicines and health foods, among which Angong Niuhuang Pill, Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pill and Tongren Wuji Baifeng Pill are the most famous.
Deng Yong analyzed that the intangible assets of state-owned enterprise brands such as Tong Ren Tang belong to state-owned assets, and we should not brand them everywhere just because the leaders have transferred interests with some enterprises or individuals, so that state-owned assets will face great reputation, reputation damage risk and even economic compensation.
Tongrentang's latest attempt is to launch a brand of "knowing health" in the retail field. In Shuangjing, Beijing, Tong Ren Tang has opened a coffee shop, with items such as "Black Lycium Latte", "Motherwort Rose Latte" and "Camellia Chenpi American Style". And it was evaluated as the old-school "Punk Health Bureau".
Tongrentang, a listed company, has a relatively stable performance in the past five years. The turning point appeared at 20 19, and the profit level began to decline. In the first half of 2020, the company's revenue and profit continued to decline compared with the same period of last year, with an operating income of 6 billion yuan, down 16. 1 1% compared with the same period of last year, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies decreased by 27.28%.
