Dream and create miracles. Because there are dreams, so go; Because there are dreams, so beyond.
In the early winter, we walked into Tianchuang Clothing Co., Ltd. in Xi county industrial agglomeration area. On the new automatic intelligent production line, the machines were running at full speed, and the scene was spectacular. "If you can't see the wool, you can knit a sweater" refers to Tianchuang production workshop. In front of a knitting computer machine, only a few professional technicians are doing equipment testing, design and control; A small number of workers stay in the processing workshop to be responsible for cutting semi-finished knitwear.
"In the future, after the completion of our phase II project Tianchuang garment industrial park, 500 intelligent knitting computer machines and 500 sewing machines can be installed, and all equipment and processes are in accordance with the most advanced international technical standards. The later project covers an area of 96.6 mu, with a planned investment of 180 million yuan. After the completion of the project, more than 600 jobs can be provided, with an annual output of 3 million woolen sweaters Chen Wenyou, chairman of the board of directors and head of the talent team of the company, said confidently while showing the planning drawings.
Return home to seek dreams and dare to "start a business"
Chen Wenyou is from guoweizi village, Dongyue Town, Xi county. After graduating from Zhengzhou Coal Management Cadre College in 1996, he was assigned to Zhongmei Zhulin ante company in Zhengzhou new technology development zone. In the 1990s, it was the envy of many young people that a technical secondary school student could be assigned to the provincial capital and work in a joint venture. However, with a natural spirit of adventure, he resolutely chose to "go to the sea" to work hard. At that time, with less than 30000 yuan, Chen Wenyou resigned and came to Dongguan, Guangdong to start a business.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. In Dongguan, Chen Wenyou started his business from large stalls and hotels. Through hard work and honest management, his business has gradually become bigger and stronger. Taking advantage of the wave of reform, he put the tentacles of his business into service industries such as telephone booths and billiards rooms. He let go, boldly rented telephone booths and billiards rooms, recruited workers from his hometown, started the business of billiards room and table tennis room, and gradually established his own billiards room, table tennis room and hotel.
"I was born in the countryside. My father has been the Secretary of the village Party branch for more than 30 years. I have been influenced by my father's difficulties in working for the masses since childhood. He has worked hard all his life and his hometown is still poor. When I worked in Dongguan, I was a fledgling nobody, but I always dream that one day I can earn enough money so that my family and villagers can get rid of difficulties and live a better life." Chen Wenyou said.
In 2007, after learning that his hometown was vigorously attracting investment and encouraging successful people to return home for investment and business, Chen Wenyou decided to return home after some consideration. In the first few years, Chen Wenyou devoted himself to the construction industry. With the funds and resources he earned from starting a business in Guangdong, he returned to his hometown for urbanization construction through investment promotion projects in the county. Seeing the great changes in his hometown, however, only high-rise buildings have beautiful appearance. Without industry, the local economy has no support. In 2016, when the city's fight against poverty was in full swing, Chen Wenyou, who had returned home for several years, gradually thought about the social responsibilities and development transformation of enterprises.
At the beginning of 2017, after going out for research, Chen Wenyou and Shi Jianguang and Wang Jinxiu, entrepreneurs from Xi county who also returned home to start a business, reached a consensus after discussion and decided to start with their familiar garment industry, connect with foreign markets and produce high-end woolen sweaters. The three people combined their respective advantages in capital, technology and market resources, with a total investment of 39 million yuan. After just three months, they established Xi county Tianchuang Clothing Co., Ltd., which has four modern standard workshops, one six-story staff dormitory building, one scientific research center and equipped with more than 100 intelligent knitting computer flat knitting machines.
"After so many years of hard work, I gradually realized that industry is the hope of revitalizing the nation, and the real economy can benefit my hometown, provide more jobs and industrial support, and plug in wings for poverty alleviation and Rural Revitalization in Xi county!" Chen Wenyou said so.
R & D, dream building, good at "innovation"
Entrepreneurship is difficult, innovation is more difficult.
In the face of the highly competitive garment industry, only by aiming at the market, improving quality, and achieving that no one has me and no one has me, can we gain a firm foothold and win a place in the tide of market economy.
Facing the completely new field, Chen Wenyou put down the shelf of "successful entrepreneur" and studied with an open mind. Through "going out" learning, "please come in" education and "hiring" use, he gradually established his own professional sweater design team and has a stable wool supplier.
"From 2017 to 2021, through the operation, production and polishing and the support of preferential policies of governments at all levels, I led the R & D team to complete three research topics such as intelligent production line through the research and promotion of intelligent manufacturing, and completed the project of intelligent garment production line with an annual output of 1.2 million pieces in a short time. At present, the annual output of the company has reached 3 million pieces, which has been accumulated for Xi county It has earned 50 million yuan of foreign exchange, driving more than 500 people to find employment. " Recalling the process of "polishing", Chen Wenyou said, "it's full and hard, but it's very rewarding. He has accumulated successful experience in failure and attempt".
After continuous polishing and incubation, Tianchuang clothing has gradually cultivated an industry-class advanced equipment, experienced production management team and skilled and stable industrial workers. Through project innovation, it has unique advantages in product R & D, production and sales, and has grown into a modern enterprise that can provide customers with high-quality products.
Catch up with dreams and "create first-class"
To establish modern industry, talk about "easy" and start "difficult".
Following the market orientation and aiming at the industrial trend, the key lies in whether we can build a united, enterprising and excellent talent team.
Chen Wenyou gradually realized that to make the enterprise bigger and stronger, we need not only first-class equipment, but also first-class "talents". In order to realize the upgrading from equipment to technology, from hardware to software, and then realize the great leap forward development of the enterprise, Chen Wenyou and his team key to do these "three things".
——Establish a modern management system. The enterprise has successively established and formulated management systems such as intelligent computerized flat knitting machine management, sewing workshop, finishing processing and process flow measurement, so as to make the enterprise "four beam top" and "eight column stability".
——Attach importance to and care about talent growth. Provide excellent working environment for cutting-edge talents. The annual salary is based on the mode of 13 months' salary plus "red envelope". The treatment of talents is linked to the development of enterprises to retain high-quality technical and management talents.
——Realize humanized management. Based on the concept of "let the enterprise become the home of employees". The production workshop is equipped with central air conditioning, so that employees can feel the working environment of "four seasons like spring" when they enter the enterprise; Build a 500 square meter enterprise restaurant "warm in winter and cool in summer", so that employees can live a healthy life and work happily; The annual year-end celebration banquet for employees was held to make employees feel the warmth of the enterprise.
With talents, Tianchuang has rapidly grown into a modern enterprise specializing in ODM processing medium and high-grade woolen sweaters and clothing. With a professional team of sweater craftsmen, management personnel with rich production experience and skilled and fixed production workers, the enterprise has a broader market. At present, it has a good cooperative relationship with many well-known brands such as Zara, ESPRIT, Tom tail and corefield.
"The company always adheres to the core values of 'people-oriented, honest and common development', implements the quality policy of 'adhering to first-class quality and creating top products', runs through all business management activities with the business philosophy of' providing innovative and high-quality products, solutions and services and comprehensively assisting customers, enterprises and employees to achieve success', and successfully declares itself as Henan Provincial high-tech enterprises. " Chen Wenyou introduced that during the epidemic period in 2020, the company donated 100000 yuan to Xinyang Red Cross Society and was rated as a charity enterprise; At present, the enterprise has passed the international BSCI certification and OCS organic cotton certification; In January 2021, Tianchuang clothing team was rated as the leading innovation and entrepreneurship team of the second batch of "Xinyang talent plan" and received a subsidy of 2 million yuan.
Referring to the current development momentum, Chen Wenyou told reporters that Xi Jinping General Secretary repeatedly mentioned not to forget the original intention and continue to move forward, warning us not to forget the road we have traveled and why we started. It can be said that the key reason why Tianchuang is today is that our team always adheres to the motto of "never forget the original intention, only get it all the time".
It is reported that in the poverty alleviation work, Tianchuang clothing took the initiative to fulfill the responsibility of poverty alleviation, actively responded to the call of the county Party committee and the county government, widened the way for enterprises to get rich in the countryside, and promoted industrial prosperity through industrial poverty alleviation. The enterprise signed industrial assistance agreements with 55 poor households in 9 villages of Caohuanglin Town, 97 poor households in 5 villages of Linhe Township and 40 poor households in 5 villages of Changling Township, driving 192 poor households to increase their income and get rid of poverty. At the same time, it also absorbed poor labor force to stabilize employment, promoted employment around the county, helped the villagers solve the problem of employment, and fully mobilized the self-reliance and The initiative of independent poverty alleviation, one-to-one targeted poverty alleviation, and contribute to the local poverty alleviation.
"With the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of residents' income, the garment industry has also developed rapidly, and the capacity of the garment consumption market has been expanding. We will strive to give full play to the advantages of our hometown, such as superior geographical location, good investment environment and abundant human resources, continue to strengthen intelligent construction, strictly control product quality and constantly improve the level of scientific and technological innovation. ”Wang Jinxiu, general manager of the company in charge of production, added.
