. On the evening of May 26, Longji Green Energy announced that Li Zhenguo resigned as director, general manager and legal representative of the company. After his resignation, he will continue to serve as the president of the Central Research Institute and the chief technology officer of the Science and Technology Management Center of the company , and will focus on leading the team to tackle the key problems of photovoltaic frontier technology.
At that time, there were different opinions in the industry about Li Zhenguo's resignation as president. The most popular saying in the industry is that Li Zhenguo's resignation is to prepare for the election of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, because the Guidelines for the Election of Academicians in 2025 stipulate that "leading cadres at or above the department level and heads of enterprises shall not be candidates for academicians in principle during their tenure of office". Longji Green Energy official did not respond to this statement, but said that the adjustment was Li Zhenguo's personal work arrangement.
