Twenty-seven years ago, 17-year-old Tang Zhenzhi with immense sanctity, excitement, and a little sadness and loss of mood to write down the pre-war letter (similar to the suicide note), he was thinking: this go can not come back is unknown, he has not been in love, and did not leave something for the family, after the excitement, he could not care so much.
Subsequently, Tang Zhenzhi, along with his troops, went into the rescue of the unprecedented snowstorm in northern Tibet. The year was 1998. At that time, Tang Zhenzhi was in his second year as a soldier in China's highest military region.
During the year, he witnessed some of his comrades training and dying while engaged in combat.
After three years of military service in Tibet, in 2000, Tang Zhenzhi, a young man from Yongzhou, Hunan Province, came to Dongguan to work, opening a new chapter in his life.
1. Beginning in society, one thing leads to another.
Tang Zhenzhi just returned home soon, was a comrade-in-arms "in the name of warehouse management high-income part-time work," tricked to Zhanjiang, Guangdong, the essence is to do pyramid schemes, when the training for more than a week, he felt wrong is a scam, left the place.
At that time, this marketing dens also sent a few three big five thick young people to block, Tang Zhenzhi is carrying a backpack wildly ran a few kilometers, rushed to the bus station when the crowd stopped.
More than 20 years later, Tang Zhenzhi recalled that at that time he had prepared his mind, all the luggage are discarded, but also to escape from this black nest, persuade his comrades to leave the nest is very difficult, he has been completely like a changed person, every day in a state of madness, but also a lot of relatives of the family to lure over.
Tang Zhenzhi said that in that crazy era, pyramid schemes is a sensitive word, but also let a lot of people penniless and unbearable, there are many people rely on pyramid schemes to get rich quickly, but ultimately can not withstand the test of time to revert to the status quo ante.
2. Learning technology to change one's destiny
After escaping from the distribution dens, Tang Zhenzhi, turned to Dongguan, rely on his cousin, in the original Dongguan, the old bus terminal to do security work, in the robbery and theft of the crazy years, chasing and arresting robbers and burglars, but also in the large flow of people at the station, to see the human condition, what is called complicity in crime! What do you mean justice is not served!
After six months of work, the heart always feel empty, no future, can not learn things, young time can not be so wasted, he felt that this is not a job for him, he left the job.
In the process, he began to think about the future path of life, he felt that people should learn technology, later to have a foothold. He began to try to find some jobs with technical skills.
Tang Zhenzhi recalled that he was from the bus terminal to Chang'an direction, along the road next to the industrial park factories one by one to find a job interview, shoes are worn out, the soles of the feet blisters.
At that time, many jobs required certificates and work experience, and after countless interviews all ended in a brick wall.
In order to survive, he returned to the security industry, but he began to have a purpose to follow the master electrician in the community to learn something, from theory to practice, and spend money to go outside the training course to participate in the study exam, and got the electrician skills certificate.
A year later, he jumped to a property company to start working as a grassroots electrician. In the process of learning while working, he felt particularly fulfilled and his skills were greatly improved.
Through hard work, two years later, Tang Zhenzhi made it to the equipment operation team leader, responsible for the operation and maintenance of the equipment of the entire district.
At this time, he met an important nobleman in his life - Mr. and Mrs. Bin Yucheng, the founders of Huiqi.
At the same time, in the work, Tang Zhenzhi also met his life partner, the two people because of the hometown relationship to take care of each other, day after day a fondness to rub out the sparks of love.
The two have been together for twenty years, have a son and two daughters, have a house and a car, and are living the happy life of countless urban middle-class people.
3、Turning to TPU for a new journey
Bin always asked Tang Zhenzhi to leave his job to come out together to plunge into the confluence, like an American blockbuster of a certain bridge: a big brother who is about to come out of the mountain to call all the former brothers, announced that they are ready to do a big thing, and hope that the brothers can come to participate in the ......
Tang Zhenzhi recalled that he was living with his wife and daughter in a row of stores in the district to rent the first floor, the light is very bad, there is not a breathable window, only a bed and a few pieces of unlike furniture.
"That day, I happened to be taking a break when Mr. Bin walked up to the door where our family lived and called me to the door. After a greeting, he asked me if I would like to leave here, follow him to do some business, the future is certainly bright, at least much better than here!" Tang Zhenzhi said.
"At that time, I did not know anything, I do not know what Mr. Bin is ready to do, just the impression of Mr. Bin a pair of cloth shoes, a towel on the neck used to wipe the sweat at any time, at that time, he was slightly fatter than now, easy to sweat, business trips there is always a bottle of Hunan chili pepper in the bag, he was then entrepreneurial spunk, infected me. With his trust, so came to the factory in Shuilianshan, from the beginning of the factory's decoration, installing lights and wiring, from the installation of equipment."
"That year, I was 30 years old, I did not expect this choice, completely changed the fate of my life. From then on, my life, tightly linked with Mr. Bin. What's more, I didn't expect that a lifetime actually with T P U thin film new materials together, and now no matter what happens, it's impossible to shake me to change careers or leave Huiqi." Tang Zhenzhi lamented.
4. Breakthrough from zero to one Crossing from hundred to thousand
Tang Zhenzhi said that the most difficult thing to do a business is to go from zero to one, from 1 to 100, and face countless difficulties and challenges as well.
Tang Zhenzhi said, "Before 2014, our initial work was still relatively simple, mainly to bring back materials imported from abroad, do some simple processing, and then packaged and sold to domestic shoe companies."
"Later, Mr. Bin realized that if the company relied on imports for all of its products, it would be strangled by foreign technology and markets. Decided to adjust the strategy, we gradually entered the research and development stage, and began to have to find a way to produce some foreign products in China. This is our most memorable time, Mr. Bin began to study the raw materials and formulas, we began to look for equipment and familiarize ourselves with the process, but it is very difficult to make it into a specific product, in the absence of a master teacher face to face hand in hand, all by themselves to figure out."
"Sometimes we came across specific problems that needed to be solved on our own, especially when we ran into some difficult issues. It was hot and stuffy in the plant in the summer, and a few of us sat paralyzed, puzzled and downcast in the yard, scratching our heads."
"Everyone you look at me, I look at you. Sometimes for a product, experimented with more than a hundred formulas and materials, failed again and again, wasted raw materials, less tens of thousands of dollars, more hundreds of thousands of dollars down the drain, very heartbreaking!"
"However, Mr. Bin continued to persevere without wavering, and a phone call or a word from him would give us great confidence." Tang Zhenzhi recalls.
"Especially in recent years, the annual investment in research and development is over ten million dollars. Our equipment is first-class in the industry in the country, and our high-quality R&D staff, in the national industry is also very willing to spend blood."
"The fact that our R&D progress can be so smooth is mainly related to Mr. Bin's understanding and strong support, he wants us to push forward regardless of the cost, so that we can let go and boldly explore the experiments, which led to this kind of result today. Our products can only be popular in the market. If the quality of the product is not good, it would have defeated the battle in this shoe material market long ago."
5. When one reaches middle age, life is enough.
Tang Zhenzhi is one of only a few people in the whole factory who have stuck with the company from its inception to the present. He has witnessed the entire process of all the company's development over the past 14 years.
In this great era, Huiqi is just a microcosm of the reform and opening up of private enterprises. His growth has not been smooth sailing, and there have been ups and downs, ups and downs. But every time, it can turn the danger into a smooth road, as if it is the rainbow after the storm.
Tang Zhenzhi said he was grateful to have met such honorable people in his life as Mr. and Mrs. Bin.
"He has not only helped and improved me a lot in my work, but also supported our family. Our two families are neighbors who live very close to each other, and my beloved and Mr. Bin's beloved, Mr. Wang, interact from time to time and have a cordial relationship, and he also cares about my children's study status from time to time. When we were deciding whether to buy a house in Dongguan, Mr. Bin played a key decision-making role, which made us feel more at ease with our work."
Tang Zhenzhi happily lamented, "In the fourteen years of work with Mr. and Mrs. Bin, with the continuous development and growth of the enterprise, my life wishes have basically been realized."
6、"Transferring "Creating Iron Force Brilliance
Now, Tang Zhenzhi's daily work, mainly to play the role of party pioneer role model, in the factory to pass on to help and train a team of newcomers to mature positions, so that the production department of the brothers consciously take the initiative to do their own work, and the company together over a mountain, and together to guard and witness the Huiqi Group continue to create another brilliant.
In recent years, the production manager of the Tang Zhenzhi not only to get the production, good quality control, he also as the company's party secretary, every year, with outstanding employees, corporate volunteers to participate in social welfare activities, buy gifts to care for the company's surrounding the widows and orphans, poor families. Bring them gifts and help them realize the small wishes of their hearts.
He implemented the "Iron Army Training Program" in the company, and carried out the army's "veteran with new recruits" method in the company, so that the new employees can quickly integrate into the new collective life.
He utilizes his commute to and from work to use his own experience and look up books and materials to compile training lesson plans to help young employees learn and grow, and to continuously improve the production management system.
He always says that production is like fighting a war, only by holding excellent professional skills can we accomplish the task without bleeding and getting injured.
7. Look back at the post and send your blessings.
In fact, Tang Zhenzhi is producing TPU new material products, mainly used for domestic and foreign outdoor sports shoes and clothing above.
He had a dream: he hoped that one day, he could bring the raw materials provided by his own factory, and the footwear and clothing products processed and produced by the domestic outdoor sports brand enterprises, and donate them to the military station post where he once stood guard, and give them to the new recruits to be used by their comrades, many of whom had suffered from frostbite because of the cold in those years.
On the snow-capped mountain at an altitude of more than 5,300 meters, where I stood guard back then, I took a picture with my new comrades.
And then go to give the life left in the Tanggula Pass comrades graveyard burn three incense, burn some money, drink a few cups of wine, and forever left there with the comrades to speak from the heart, to tell them, this life I how to come over.
Tang Zhenzhi said, "I want to tell them that we can also produce this kind of cold-resistant, heat-insulating and breathable high-quality footwear in China. And the raw materials are produced in our own factories. The new comrades won't get frostbite when they wear them. I think this will perhaps be the greatest pride in my life."
As of now, the world's top mountaineering footwear and clothing brands are still dominated by foreign brands, and almost all of the Everest mountaineers use foreign outdoor sports brands to climb the mountain. And our domestic outdoor sports cold-resistant brands, the most to reach Harbin. (Correspondent: Liang Lu reports)
