Wei Jianjun, the chairman of the present Great Wall Motor Company Limited, who started his business almost in the same era as Li Shufu, contracted the Great Wall Motor Factory located in Nandayuan Township to the south of Baoding City in 1990. At that time, the factory only had dozens of employees, and was heavily indebted, on the verge of bankruptcy. However, after 8 years of operation, Great Wall Motors has become the domestic sales champion of pick-up trucks. Until now, the company still occupies a large market share in the pick-up truck field, and its SUV models have also been widely recognized by the market. The total number of employees has reached 28,000.
