       In November 2021, Zhou Song resigned from the position of Chief Financial Officer of Hengrui Medicine due to personal reasons
    .

    After resigning from the above positions, Zhou Song is still working in the company
    .

    The company's annual report disclosed in 2020 shows that Zhou Song received a total of 741,100 yuan in pre-tax remuneration from the company
    .

       In July 2021, Zhou Yunshu, the former chairman and general manager, resigned from the chairman and other positions due to physical reasons, which aroused great attention and heated discussions in the industry
    .

    According to the data, after graduating from China Pharmaceutical University, he joined Hengrui Medicine and served as the deputy director of the development department, deputy general manager, general manager, and director.
    He has successively been in charge of research and development, human resources, corporate operations, sales and other work
    .

    In January 2020, Hengrui Medicine announced that Zhou Yunshu would be the chairman of the board, and Sun Piaoyang had resigned as the chairman, and instead served as a director of the company and chairman of the strategy committee
    .

    After this news was released, Zhou Yunshu was also regarded as Sun Piaoyang's successor, but it took only a year and a half for him to take office as chairman and to leave
    .

    And Sun Piaoyang, who had already been disarmed and returned to the field, had to return to the front of the stage to act as the acting chairman
    .

       The changes of many core management personnel in the first year of medicine have attracted the attention of the market
    .

    According to public information, after the announcement of Zou Jianjun's resignation, Hengrui Medicine quickly appointed two new R&D executives, namely Zhang Xiaojing, deputy general manager and chief medical executive (tumor), and Wang Quanren, deputy general manager
    .

    Hengrui hopes that their promotion will help the company to further strengthen its internal R&D and innovation capabilities, and accelerate the pace of company innovation
    .

       In recent years, with the advancement of the new medical reform policy, the transformation and upgrading of the pharmaceutical industry has accelerated, and Hengrui is also accelerating innovation and transformation, including through continuous increase in R&D investment, active cooperation and introduction and other measures to accelerate progress on the road of innovative drug transformation
    .

    In recent years, Hengrui Medicine's R&D investment has maintained a rapid growth of about 30%, and the proportion of R&D investment in sales revenue has remained around 20%
    .

       However, the transformation of pharmaceutical innovation is not easy, and the transformation pains of enterprises are beginning to appear
    .

    Hengrui Medicine once stated that due to the severe homogenization competition in the domestic innovative biopharmaceutical industry and the rapid rise in costs of R&D, manpower, and production, biopharmaceutical innovation is facing severe challenges
    .

       The industry believes that with the vigorous development of the domestic innovative drug market, talents have become one of the important gaps for various pharmaceutical companies
    .

    In order to accelerate forward, pharmaceutical companies need to think about how to retain talents while investing heavily in hiring talents
