Frequently Asked Questions
这一规矩源于董明珠早期在安徽市场追讨42万欠款的惨痛经历。当时行业普遍存在赊账赖账的潜规则，导致企业陷入烂账泥潭。董明珠认为，与其在不诚信的交易中挣扎，不如彻底重塑规则。虽然这在短期内看似自断财路，但通过筛选有诚信的合作伙伴并提供业务培训，格力最终在1995年实现了零应收账款，确保了企业的财务安全和渠道稳定。
1995年，董明珠的哥哥试图通过她的关系拿货以赚取中介费。董明珠果断拒绝了这一请求，因为她认为如果作为领导者为亲属开后门，就无法公正地管理下属，会导致公司制度崩塌。这种对权力的克制和对制度的敬畏导致其兄长写下绝交信，两人直到二十年后哥哥生病才达成和解。
2004年，国美在未沟通的情况下擅自降低格力空调价格，引发董明珠强烈反击并停止供货。董明珠的决策逻辑是“工业逻辑”而非单纯的“商业逻辑”。她认为随意降价会挤压中小经销商的利润空间，破坏格力赖以生存的稳定销售体系。她宁愿放弃当时占据一级市场重要份额的国美渠道，也要保护全国九成以上的经销商利益，并由此开启了自建专卖店的创举。
在疫情导致线下门店停摆的背景下，董明珠开始尝试直播带货，将传统的线下压货模式向“新零售模式”转型。她不仅亲自上阵直播，还致力于教导全国三万家线下店主如何进行线上线下联动。她认为改革最难的是否定自己，但为了格力的未来，必须通过数字化转型让传统渠道焕发新活力。
董明珠承认南下闯荡的初衷是为了给儿子更好的生活，但代价是错过了儿子的成长过程，这成为她心中唯一的软肋和内疚来源。尽管在职场上表现得极度强悍且没有朋友，但在谈及儿子时她会展现出柔情的一面。受其影响，她的儿子性格也非常独立，并未在格力任职或利用母亲的资源，这种母子间的相互理解成为了她坚强背后的支撑。
