In the summer of 2026, the 2026 cohort of "Future Stars" at Chery Holding's Overseas Business Division completed their onboarding boot camp and officially graduated. This two-and-a-half-day forging experience packed in far more than product knowledge and professional skills — it was, above all, an identity transformation from "campus graduate" to "Chery global professional." They now stand ready to step onto the very front line of China's automotive global expansion.
I. The Call of the Era: A "Great Voyage" for Chinese Automobiles
At the opening ceremony, She Cairong, Assistant President of Chery Holding and General Manager of the Overseas Business Division, delivered a weighty first lesson. In the first half of 2026, China's vehicle exports surpassed 5 million units, surging 65% year-on-year. Anhui Province alone exported 1.006 million vehicles worth over RMB 100 billion, ranking first in the nation in both export volume and value. Chery Group sold more than 1.35 million vehicles, with exports exceeding 900,000 units — setting yet another new record for a Chinese automaker. Wuhu has now built a complete, integrated automotive supply chain, with Chery as the flagship and hundreds of parts suppliers working in synergy. The city has identified the automobile and auto parts industry as its top priority and explicitly set the strategic goal of building "China's Auto City."
II. From Campus to the Front Line: An Accelerated Sprint at Boot Camp
The curriculum was intense and practical: from factory tours to hands-on product familiarization covering the full lineup — mini vehicles, light trucks, heavy trucks, pickups, buses, medium and large vans, and mini trucks — and on to sessions on HR, finance, operational processes, goal management and international professionalism. In his course "International Development," Deputy General Manager of the Overseas Business Division Cui Jian mapped out Chery's 25-year evolution from "going global" to "going deep" and finally "going native," giving the newcomers a genuine grasp of the breadth and depth of the globalization chessboard. The boot camp was never about passive knowledge transfer; it was an active identity shift from student to overseas trailblazer. This generation's acute sensitivity to global information and natural cross-cultural adaptability will become a distinctive advantage.
III. Rite of Passage: Passing the Torch
The combined closing and mentorship initiation ceremony kicked off in an atmosphere of great energy. Deputy General Manager of the Overseas Business Division Liu Xinyu presented the very first career medals to outstanding trainees and the benchmark group. A formal mentorship ceremony followed. The apprenticeship letters they exchanged carried far more than ritual — they bore the torch of "technology as the bedrock, quality as the cornerstone," and precisely transmitted the very genes of perseverance that lifted Chery from a "humble thatched cottage" to a global enterprise, all passed down through the master-apprentice system. During the mentor representative address, Mr. Wang Baofeng drew on his many years in the automotive export industry, encouraging the Future Stars to stay grounded, immerse themselves in local markets, and inject fresh energy into Chery Holding's overseas business with professionalism and a strong sense of responsibility.
IV. A Journey of Ten Thousand Miles — See You Across the Globe
The boot camp has concluded, and the mentorship is sealed. Yet for these Future Stars, the real journey has only just begun. Their path lies at every coordinate on Chery's global map, and across every new frontier that Chinese automobiles are opening up.
"Gathering Stars, Building Dreams." May these Future Stars take the world as their canvas and answer with concrete action, writing their own chapter in the magnificent voyage that sees Chery transform from a Chinese brand into a truly global one.
Ride your dreams out into the world — a vast sea of stars awaits, and the journey itself is the answer.
