From the beginning of this year to the end of February, Chaoyang Lianqiang Roll Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Chaoyang Lianqiang) has set three new highs in production and operation: first, the contract volume of rolls has reached a new high, second, the recovery of product payment has reached a new high, and third, the output of rolls has reached a new high. On December 24, 2021, the highest daytime temperature in Chaoyang City was only minus 17 degrees Celsius, which was the coldest day since the beginning of winter. In this extremely cold day, I came here by high-speed rail with curiosity about Chaoyang Lianqiang, a strange and familiar roll manufacturer, and interviewed Sun Jianxun, general manager of Chaoyang Lianqiang.

The hero did not mention that he fought bravely in Chaoyang in order to make contributions.

Isn't Sun Jianxun the general manager of Xingtai Delong Mechanical Roll Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as De Roll)? Why did he become the general manager of Lianqiang Roll again?

Yes, before 2013, Delong Roll was still an enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy. In this year, Ding Liguo, chairman of Delong Group, hired Sun Jianxun, an expert with rich experience in roll production management and sales, as the general manager of Delong Roll. During the eight-year term, the annual output of Delong Roll increased from 9,000 tons to 38000 tons, and the annual output value increased from tens of millions of yuan to 0.6 billion yuan. On January 7, 2020, the front page headline of China Metallurgical News published a report entitled "7 years, from the verge of bankruptcy to the profit of breaking billions-to see how the Delong roller 'willow dark flower'", so that Sun Jianxun is famous.

Founded in the early 1980 s, Tangshan Lianqiang Metallurgical Roll Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Tangshan Lianqiang) is a small and medium-sized centrifugal roll professional manufacturing enterprise jointly built by the former Iron and Steel Research Institute of the Ministry of Metallurgy and the former Fengnan County. After 40 years of development, Tangshan Lianqiang is facing a major change in strategic transfer and relocation from Tangshan to build factories.

With the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Industrial Transformation and Upgrading in Hebei Province" and "Beijing's 2018-2020 Action Plan for Promoting the Coordinated Development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei" and other macro policies have been issued one after another. The core of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei as a whole. It is necessary to adjust and optimize the urban layout and spatial structure, build a modern transportation network system, expand the ecological space of environmental capacity, promote industrial upgrading and transfer, and explore megacities and megacities. The optimized development model of orderly relieving functions in densely populated and economically populated areas such as cities and effectively controlling "big city diseases. In June 2019, Tangshan Lianqiang invested RMB 0.63 billion to establish Chaoyang Lianqiang in Liucheng Economic Development Zone, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, aiming to improve the level of equipment through strategic transfer and establish a new type of roll manufacturing enterprise with high yield, high efficiency and high dedication.

However, through this relocation and reconstruction, Chaoyang Lianqiang's production and operation were greatly disturbed and its economic benefits declined. Until the summer of 2021, the employees' wages were not paid, and even the former general manager of the enterprise left. Who will revitalize Chaoyang Lianqiang and serve as the general manager? Therefore, the relevant departments thought of Sun Jianxun, the general manager of the roller scenery in Delong. It turned out that before Delong Roller took office, Sun Jianxun was the deputy general manager in charge of sales in Tangshan Lianqiang. Sun Jianxun, who was brave in challenge and never admitted defeat, resolutely accepted this new challenge, bid farewell to the employees of Delong roller, returned to Chaoyang Lianqiang, and gave a poem entitled "Summer Bel Delong in the Year of Xin Chou:

In July, flowers and trees are green, and Xingzhou brothers are full of wine and eyebrows. Laughing at Jianghu with more tears and rain, staring at the beginning of the heart and less sorrow. The Lord of the Ming Dynasty is at ease to add loyalty and courage, and the righteous companions work together to create thunder. Eight years to go with an arrow, three hundred war letter wave. The acceptance of honor and disgrace depends on the nature of the mind, and the realization of the practice is the end. Ran the years into the basket, reshape the country with dream fly.

This poem not only reflects Sun Jianxun's reluctance to part with Delong Roller, but also reflects his confidence and determination to fight again and fight again.

When talking about the above background, Sun Jianxun changed his words ", the hero did not mention his courage in those years, but turned to the sun to make contributions! There can be several fights in life! I want to set sail in the sun to realize the value of life!"

Relocation difficulties are not terrible "three aspects" to enter the world

Sun Jianxun confidently believes that Chaoyang Lianqiang produces in Chaoyang and its sales organization is in Tangshan, which has great advantages in production and operation.

First of all, Liaoning is a region with a strong level of heavy industry technology and equipment in China, and has a lot of technological accumulation in manufacturing; secondly, it has the advantage of talents, and many large manufacturing enterprises and well-known domestic colleges and universities, such as Northeastern University, are talent training bases in the field of manufacturing and materials; the third advantage is resources. Liaoning has unique pig iron and alloy, and sufficient scrap steel resources, it can make it easy to obtain raw materials for Chaoyang Lianqiang's production; fourth, the local government is very supportive of the development of the manufacturing industry.

At present, the first phase of Chaoyang Lianqiang project has been completed, which has expanded the production capacity of small and medium-sized rolls with unique advantages of Tangshan Lianqiang from 15000 tons to 25000 tons.

Chaoyang Lianqiang Phase II construction project focuses on increasing investment in the output of enhanced steel and plate and strip rolls, so that the production capacity of medium and large rolls can be developed to more than 20000 tons.

After the completion of the second phase of the project, the overall production capacity of Chaoyang Lianqiang will reach 40000-50000 tons, which can enter the top five in the same industry in China. Moreover, the development of its steel rolls and broadband rolls is not simply the pursuit of quantity (capacity), but is committed to developing distinctive, unique market space for quality and high-end products.

All in all, Chaoyang Lianqiang's development model is firm in the following three aspects:

One is customer oriented. Roller is a product with unique personality customization and is a non-standard customized product. Based on the development of this customer demand, the research and development work of the enterprise must be advanced, not only to push the research and development force to the steel rolling production line of the market customer, but also to the customer's engineers and research and development personnel. The material research and development of the enterprise and the modulation of the whole production cycle are closely linked with the customer's needs. Through the enterprise to establish a data-based full product life cycle and customer information sharing, so as to achieve the enterprise and customer demand linkage, to carry out full life cycle services.

The second is for the future. The first is the future-oriented technology and development direction. With the improvement of China's economic strength, the entire manufacturing industry will inevitably undergo data and automation upgrades. As a traditional industry, the level of automation and data is relatively low. At present, companies are stepping up the development of automation equipment. Because there are no people in the same industry who engage in this kind of special equipment, due to the small overall volume of rolls, many design and production units are unwilling to invest in small enterprises. Only enterprises develop their own special automatic production equipment that integrates the production characteristics of rolls, and then graft information transmission and data processing technology on the basis of automation level, can realize the production mode of roll production process that will go further in the future. For example, if the enterprise is now introducing a split-aggregate production model, and then grafting the automation equipment developed by the enterprise, perhaps no one can compete with Chaoyang Lianqiang.

The second is to meet the needs of society as a whole. Social needs rely on policy guidance, such as green, ecological, low-carbon development. As an economic unit, an enterprise must adapt to the overall ecological system in the overall social environment. For example, in low carbon, energy saving, environmental protection three aspects of how to develop? Roll enterprises are high energy consumption production enterprises, Chaoyang Lianqiang must reduce energy consumption from the article, through compact production technology to reduce the unit energy consumption of the roll to the technology allows a large range, in the industry to maintain a low unit energy consumption of the roll. For example, when producing a ton of roll power consumption 1300 kW, Chaoyang Lianqiang strives to compress it to 700 kW -800 kW hours. How to achieve this goal? Chaoyang Lianqiang has a set of practical and feasible methods. To reduce energy consumption is to develop a low-carbon economy, Chaoyang Lianqiang to increase the proportion of non-chemical energy use. For example, the roof of the factory workshop and the 35000 square meters working face of the three main workshops adopt photovoltaic power generation technology to increase the proportion of clean energy and green energy input. This is also the future-oriented ideas and paths.

Processing workshop

Three are for the world. Enterprises should expand to the global market and incorporate global management into the later development strategy. The former, Chaoyang Lianqiang has opened up a certain share of the market, such as in Southeast Asia, the original Tangshan Lianqiang brand is very loud. In addition, Chaoyang Lianqiang will also face the world's high-precision steel enterprises with full development potential, such as Nippon Steel and Pohang, which lead the world's steel development, as Chaoyang Lianqiang's later development target customers, and it is imperative to win. In addition, large-scale high-quality steel central enterprises and advanced private steel enterprises should be taken as the target customers for market development, so as to realize the synchronous development with high-quality enterprises. The essence of this orientation is the global layout, the layout of production and operation. In addition, we should also pay attention to the merger and acquisition of overseas roll industry, and use the management mode of Lianqiang to graft and lead the advantageous enterprises with foreign production history and certain resources, including the introduction of the world's outstanding roll production talents as part of the development direction of the enterprise.

Achieve employees' dreams and build a century-old joint strength

When it comes to how to further develop the enterprise, Sun Jianxun creatively put forward the concept of "three gives": first, loyal people get respect, second, dedicated people get benefits, and third, motivated people get opportunities.

Following this development concept, Sun Jianxun has just taken office for less than half a year, and the company has paid 5 months' salary from the original 3 months to 2 months.

At present, Chaoyang Lianqiang has only 213 employees, but the roll output has doubled, and now the output of the two classes is equal to the daily output of the original seven classes.

Chaoyang Lianqiang also innovated the working system of spectral instruments on the stove. The original spectral testing instrument of the enterprise stayed in the laboratory, but now the spectral instrument is moved to the stove for testing, thus saving the time for back and forth testing. According to calculations, if this system operates for one year, the spectral test fee alone can save more than 400,000 yuan.

The significance of the extended spectrum instrument on the furnace table also shows that in the past, molten steel samples were sent to the laboratory for testing. Although it only took 1-4 minutes to go back and forth, after the test was changed to the furnace table, if 15 rolls were produced in a day, one roll would save 2 minutes and 15 rolls would save 30 minutes, thus 50 more days in a year, and the only electricity saving would be 836000 yuan.

The advantage of Lianqiang's move to Chaoyang, Liaoning is the advantage of strategic development. Because there is room for strategic development, the local resource advantages and business environment are better than Tangshan.

Sun Jianxun said confidently: If you want to be a thousand miles away, take it to the next level. We must concentrate outstanding talents on the platform of Lianqiang, which is an industry advantage, and then let outstanding talents make the platform bigger and stronger. In my opinion, for everyone, salary income is just a gift for the office, and what people really pursue should be a career. To do things in the industry that are both respected and can bring certain contributions to the society, Chaoyang Lianqiang must build a high-yield, efficient, and highly dedicated advanced manufacturing enterprise.

Sun Jianxun also believes that Chaoyang Lianqiang's competitiveness comes from the entire team. Employees are working hard for the development of the enterprise and working hard for their own goals. The two goals are consistent. Enterprises should form a unique culture, which is a culture of common development, common prosperity, common efforts and common sharing, as well as a culture of working together and making progress together with outstanding talents.

Centrifugal pouring

When it comes to whether the country's carbon peak and carbon neutral policy will affect the quality of roll products, Sun Jianxun's answer is negative. He believes that energy consumption should be reduced and energy efficiency should be improved. For example, roll molten steel should be cast at 1340 ℃ after smelting by electric furnace. If the connection process is not smooth due to poor organization of the production site, it will wait for half an hour more, thus unnecessary energy consumption will occur. For example, an 5千千瓦 electric furnace consumes 5千千瓦 electricity in vain in an hour. Another example is whether the casting condition at 1340 ℃ can be changed to smelting at 1339 ℃. If the energy savings consumed at 1°C are accumulated, one year is not a small number. In the future, lean management will definitely become the mainstream of enterprise management development.

In the future, the development trend of roll production enterprises is that whoever manages the enterprise well and who has a high technical level will be able to survive. The last one is management. Under normal circumstances, each enterprise can buy production equipment with money, but under different management systems, the value created by equipment is different.

Sun Jianxun believes that we must plan ahead and improve our environmental protection level. Sun Jianxun has an overall plan for Chaoyang Lianqiang's carbon neutral and carbon peak targets. It is estimated that 20 million yuan of environmental protection equipment will be invested to improve emissions and optimize the environment. After reaching the standard, workers can even wear white coats in front of the furnace to work.

How to prepare for a rainy day? Chaoyang Lianqiang should set up institutions, study technical solutions, adjust production institutions with innovative thinking methods, and improve and enhance the process. As Sun Jianxun stressed, customers choose not products but people, and products are the inheritance of people's personality, ability and attitude. The competitor of Lianqiang roll is himself. Chaoyang Lianqiang should strengthen its leading role in the industry, strive to do a good job in itself, reflect the core value of Lianqiang, and make Chaoyang Lianqiang, a brand with a history of 40 years, shine again. I believe Lianqiang will get better and better.
