Li Shuguang, former chairman of Wuliangye, is under investigation for suspected serious violations of discipline and law.

Looking back on the five years of Li Shuguang's tenure in Wuliangye, Wuliangye Group previously said that it is widely believed that Li Shuguang "retired with success" after leading Wuliangye's "second entrepreneurship" to achieve historic results and enterprise development to a historic level.

Before joining Wuliangye, Li Shuguang worked in government departments for a long time. When he took over Wuliangye Group from the previous chairman Tang Qiao, Li Shuguang, 55, said that the company must "start a second business and re-create brilliance", carry out bold reforms, and put forward the goal of Wuliangye to build a hundred billion group in the "13th Five-Year Plan".

From the performance data, during the five years of Li Shuguang's tenure, the revenue of Wuliangye Co., Ltd. increased by nearly 89.9% from 30.19 billion yuan in 2016 to 57.32 billion yuan in 2020, and the net profit attributable to the parent company increased by about 106.3% from 9.674 billion yuan to 19.95 billion yuan.

Li Shuguang also led Wuliangye Group to break through the 100 billion sales threshold. In February 2017, the official Weibo of Wuliangye released a message that according to the data disclosed at the first marketing work conference in 2017, Wuliangye Group achieved sales revenue of more than 70 billion yuan last year, an increase of about 8%. At the 23rd "1218" Conference of Wuliangye in 2019, Wuliangye Group announced that its revenue scale exceeded 100 billion yuan.

It is worth noting that recently, the former chairman of another liquor leading enterprise was also investigated for suspected serious violations of discipline and law.

On January 2, according to the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission of Guizhou Province, according to the news of the Guizhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, Ding Xiongjun, Party secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau and director of the Guizhou Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau (Guizhou Intellectual Property Office), is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently under disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the Guizhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision.

This distance from Ding Xiongjun left Kweichow Moutai only more than 8 months in the past. On April 29, 2024, the website of Guizhou Provincial People's Government issued a notice of appointment and removal, announcing Ding Xiongjun as the director of Guizhou Provincial Market Supervision and Administration. Ding Xiongjun was previously the director and chairman of Kweichow Moutai Liquor Co., LTD. Before taking the helm of Moutai Group, Ding served as party secretary and director of the Guizhou Provincial Energy Bureau.
