In jiangsu province has held to celebrate the 40th anniversary of reform and opening to the symposium, shagang group, such as shen wenrong, chairman of 20 comrade was awarded the advanced individual, this period "the struggle - eyewitnesses said," we have to go to shagang group, look at how wen-rong shen in 40 years, make a "grass-roots enterprise" success among the fortune 500?

At 7 am, employees of shagang group rushed to the factory to start the day's work.At this time, shagang group chairman shen wenrong has come to the company.

From 7:00 to 11:30, shen wenrong communicated with his work, attended meetings and corrected documents. He did not stop for a moment.After a long period of overwork, he fell ill. The most conspicuous thing on his desk was a pile of medicine.

'blood sugar is high, blood pressure is high, blood fat is high, and there are some heart problems,' said shen wenrong, shagang's chairman.No meals now, no medicine.

Although the body is not as good as before, but the love of steel, let shen wenrong has been unable to put the hands of the work.After a quick lunch, he continued to lead the team to the steelmaking site.

Shen wenrong introduces in the spot, this silicon steel plate is smooth finish, you see, be equal to with stainless steel same, contain carbon amount very low, purity is very high, electrify performance requirement is very high, very thin, have 0.5 millimeter only.The next step is to produce less than 0.5mm, 0.35mm and 0.3mm of silicon steel for electric cars.

As long as it is related to steel, shen wenrong, 72, always seems to have endless words and endless strength, and always want to do the latest, best.It is this energy, let shagang in the reform and opening up, has been brave tide.

Shen wenrong said that happiness is to rely on hard work, by struggle out.

In 1968, shen wenrong, 22, graduated from secondary school and worked as a locksmith in jinfeng gin factory in shazhou county.In 1975, jinfeng ginnery raised 450,000 yuan to build a small steel rolling workshop, which was the predecessor of shagang.

Shen wenrong recalled that he also did the operator at that time, dang dang, sweating, good body can only half an hour, the body can only 15 minutes.In the high temperature, one after the other, the weight is still heavy, about 60 kilograms, 70 kilograms.

At that time, shen wenrong recalled, steelmaking depended entirely on strength and people with good health could be selected.

'put 50 bricks on both sides and pick 200 meters,' Mr. Shen said.And then if you look at how far you're going to go, 60 kilograms of billet, depending on how far you're going to throw it.

In 1985, at the age of 39, shen wenrong became the leader of shagang.At this time, the spring breeze of reform and opening up has been gradually blowing on the land of China, with the improvement of housing conditions, the market demand for steel window material increased substantially.Shen wenrong sees this business opportunity, made the first major decision after he takes office.

Shen wenrong recalled that the rigid demand on the market is relatively big, but the production difficulty is also relatively big, determined to attack this pass.Shen wenrong said this product, is to bring the first bucket of gold shagang window frame steel.Through the innovation of technology and management, shagang has developed 9 series of 35 specification products, and become the production base of window frame steel with the most complete variety, best quality and highest output in China.Soon, buy window frame steel to shagang become the industry at that time.

Shagang group director of technical reform gao ying said that the final national industry standards, they are the drafting unit.From the precision requirements, other factories were our masters, but later they could not meet their precision standards.

Small window frame steel, let shagang earned more than 100 million.This backside, it is shen wenrong's attitude to the product excelsior.However, it is shen wenrong's keen market consciousness and ambition that really enable shagang to move from a grassroots private enterprise to the world stage.Shen wenrong was aware of the crisis in the early 1990s, when shagang employees were basking in the sales of window-frame steel.

Shen wenrong says, had aluminium alloy, had model steel, appearance looks better, weight is light, the door window that is better than steel and iron.

Shen wenrong made a bold decision to gradually give up the window frame steel, more than 100 million homes will be all smashed in, imported from Britain a second-hand foreign equipment, the production of construction needs rebar.However, the decision, by the enterprise up and down the controversy.

Assistant of chairman xu weidong of shagang group says, general and normal idea, hope to improve the treatment of worker when an enterprise has profit namely, there is different idea certainly inside this, possibly contradictory inside this.

Shen wenrong, chairman of the board of shagang group, said, "when we were using earth equipment for production, we had a good time. There was a lot of discussion among us.

'a lot of people imagine that shen is always doing something risky,' said liu jian, shagang's first vice President and chief engineer.

Shen wenrong of natural disposition good and strong did not give up, he is right the passion of steel and persistence, touched the staff in the factory finally, voted for him.In 1992, shortly after the introduction of the advanced production line from the UK into production, just as deng xiaoping's southern speech, China ushered in a boom in infrastructure investment.Since then, few people have objected to shen's decision, and "boldness" and "vision" have been the most frequently used words in people's description of shen.

Shen wenrong, chairman of shagang group, said the steel production at that time was just 2 million tons, and it was a dream to enter the 10 million tons steel industry.

Dream has, to rely on hard work to achieve.Since 1996, shagang has started the pace of buying and buying abroad, and has successively bought back advanced equipment from the United States, Germany, Switzerland and other countries.Since then, Mr. Shen has bought several state-owned steel companies in China, bringing capacity to 25 million tons.Shagang became the largest private steel enterprise in China, and successfully ranked among the world's top 500 in 2009.

'with no coal or iron ore, how can we get 25 million tons here?' Mr. Shen said.Now we've got it. It shows that you should have faith, determination and goals.

In shagang's most advanced ultra-thin belt workshop, shen wenrong is communicating with engineers from the United States.This is a new generation hot rolling workshop jointly developed by shagang and nuoko steel co., LTD., which is still the first one in China.

Shen wenrong said, this production line, the steel directly into the plate, the production of very thin plate.

Shen wenrong introduces, general steel plate USES traditional hot rolling technology, the thinniest can accomplish 3 millimeter thick only, want to accomplish already thin arrive 1 millimeter, the steel plate that has high strength again, it is a world problem all the time.The successful operation of this equipment will solve this problem and directly affect the core competitiveness of the next generation of Chinese steel products.

Li hualong, deputy director of jiangsu shagang iron and steel research institute, said their process is the only one that can make it thin and strong when it is hot.This product will be revolutionary and unique.

After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China's economy entered the "new normal" and the central government made strategic arrangements to promote supply-side structural reform.Starting from the reform, shen wenrong is also thinking about shagang's future.

Shen wenrong said that the development mode of thinking to change, or stay in expansion, simple to do big, this era has passed.So they make major adjustments.They develop ideas, not simply to do bigger and stronger, but to do better and stronger.

In order to be more precise and stronger, shagang has set up iron and steel research institute in recent years to increase investment in scientific research and development.Up to now, 163 patents have been granted, including 127 invention patents.The product structure has also shifted from civil fields such as construction to high-end fields such as aerospace, automobile industry and equipment manufacturing.

Shen wenrong says, catch the promotion of product quality, catch the adjustment of product structure, do essence namely.The same is steel, he does the best, you don't have the variety, he can develop.

In shen wenrong's side, we also found a young face, this is shen wenrong's eldest son shen bin.After studying in the UK, after many years of grassroots training, has grown into shagang group young marshal, as chairman of the post.Under his leadership, shagang is moving towards intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing.

Shagang group co., LTD. Chairman shen bin said, now into a new era, to high-quality development.From the requirements of the state, from the requirements of the local people, including their own company's cadres and workers.There is no green development, nor high-quality development.I believe that the younger generation is confident and can do this thing well.

Reform and opening up is the most remarkable feature and the most magnificent phenomenon of contemporary China.Up to this period, suzhou radio and television general station for six months to commemorate the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up special program "struggle - witness said" on all broadcast.Standing at a new historical starting point, general secretary xi jinping has pointed out that we must not be complacent or complacent, nor should we hesitate or hesitate. We must make reform and opening up in the new era more stable and further.We look forward to generations of "relay" to create new and greater miracles that will make the world sit up and take notice.
