Perseverance in adversity

　　Perseverance in adversity

　　Huang Ruili (Reporter from Today's Ningguo)

　　'Ideas shape the future', Jinlong Foundry Company adheres to this philosophy and gradually embarked on the path of standardized development. It is also because of this philosophy that the enterprise has turned danger into safety in crisis and gone from extensive management to standardized management. In the new normal and difficult industry situation, Jinlong Company has played the role of the enterprise trade union, safeguarded the legitimate interests of all employees, and persisted in charitable causes such as donating funds for education, writing a big chapter for "small enterprises" in the new era.

　　Be prepared for danger in times of peace and seek opportunities to plan a new blueprint

　　Looking back at the distant past, when Ningguo Jinlong Company was founded in 2000, Bian Yufu was in his twenties. Although he was just starting out, he gradually took on the responsibility of developing the enterprise. Focusing on product quality and research and development, the annual output value of the enterprise has increased from several million yuan to a peak of nearly 100 million yuan in 2009. Around 2011, at the peak of the development of the wear-resistant industry in Ningguo, while others were rapidly multiplying and expanding their scale, Bian Yufu assessed the situation and began to slowly reduce production capacity. Nearly 50 acres of industrial park were rented out in batches, and two production bases in the northwest and northeast were gradually withdrawn. Such actions were rarely understood within the same industry at that time. But he keenly sensed that "the wolf is coming" - "This industry is like reaching the pinnacle of a parabola, followed by a huge crisis." As expected, in recent years, the wear-resistant industry in Ningguo has collectively suffered a "Waterloo". Due to proactively reducing 40% of production capacity, Jinlong Company has developed steadily with moderate scale, maintaining stable market sales and able to move forward smoothly in the wind and waves, sometimes responding to opportunities.

　　Today is cruel, tomorrow is even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but most people die tomorrow night and cannot see the sun of the day after tomorrow. "Jack Ma's motto constantly reminds Bian Yufu to keep a clear mind. He wants to see the" sun of the day after tomorrow, "but he also deeply realizes that the wear-resistant industry no longer has growth potential, and explosive growth is gone forever. He looks forward to change. Do you expect change? "Six years ago, Obama won the presidential election using this as his signature, and the most frequently mentioned words were change, transformation, and reform. Since August last year, receiving medical treatment and recuperation has given him more time to think about how the company can transform, just like being reborn from the ashes. Take advantage of your youth and do something. "A new blueprint unfolded in his mind, revealing that he would take a big step into a completely new business field.

　　Standardized management always keeps employees in mind

　　At the end of August, the conference room of Jinlong Company was packed with people, holding the 15th General Meeting of Employees. At the meeting, the company studied the document "Establishment of Enterprise Management Committee" and unanimously passed the performance appraisal implementation method and employee job regulations (responsibilities). The chairman of the company's labor union analyzed the current economic situation and the severe situation faced by the industry and enterprises, and reported on some measures and methods taken by the company to rescue the crisis. Despite the urgency and crisis, in order to ensure the legitimate interests of all employees, it was announced at the meeting that in the difficult situation of the industry and enterprises, the company will handle all five social insurances for all employees and promise not to lay off employees. This is the first time that a workers' congress has been held to exercise their rights and safeguard their interests, "said Bian Yufu. The congress uses legal procedures to improve the relevant management systems of the enterprise, making enterprise management more formal and standardized. By strengthening internal management of the enterprise, it enhances the enterprise's ability to resist risks and improves its market competitiveness.

　　In fact, companies have been providing social security for their employees since 2006. I have a deep impression that the first thing I did when I joined the company was to handle social security for employees, "said the office director of Jinlong Company." At most, I handled social security for more than 100 employees. "However, Bian Yufu admitted that due to the extensive management, the company often fell into a passive situation. In order to change the passive situation, Jinlong Company established a trade union in 2009 to directly contact and serve the workers, build harmonious labor relations, and play a positive role in regulating enterprise management. The enterprise union also attaches great importance to the construction of corporate culture, educating every employee on the company's core concept of "ideas shape the future", and creating and popularizing a new era of corporate culture.

　　While focusing on economic benefits and thinking about employees, Bian Yufu started with matters that directly affect the interests of employees. In addition to preparing holiday gifts for employees during traditional festivals, the enterprise union organizes annual trips for employees or their families to enrich their spiritual life. Since 2006, companies have also rewarded employees whose children are admitted to higher education institutions, with a reward amount of nearly 50000 yuan over the years. In addition, the company has also established a technology innovation reward system, with a total bonus of over 60000 yuan.

　　The industry is struggling and we are determined to donate funds for education

　　Providing assistance and support to vulnerable groups is the most fundamental task of enterprise trade unions. This work has been done well, and the rights and interests of employees have been protected, "said Bian Yufu. Corporate responsibility not only includes being responsible to employees, but also to society. In early August this year, Bian Yufu rushed back to Ningguo from a dusty place and led the union staff to distribute 45000 yuan "Aspiration to Success" scholarships to eight prospective college students. The love of the enterprise, like timely rain, has solved the urgent needs of these families. In early September, the union of Jinlong Company distributed a "Love Scholarship" of 6000 yuan to two students from Sanjin Middle School. Despite the severe situation in Ningguo's wear-resistant industry this year, with the economy continuing to decline and the industry struggling to develop, Bian Yufu remains steadfast in continuing to support the cause, without shirking or evading. The more difficult it is, the more we have to bear it. "Supporting no less than 100 impoverished students is the goal he has set for himself. As the most important way to repay society, he said that no matter what kind of suffering, he will never give up his responsibility and obligation to donate funds to impoverished students for education. He will overcome all difficulties and successfully complete the distribution of the" Aspire to Success "scholarship, and will continue to persist.

　　It is understood that since 2006, Jinlong Company has never stopped doing good deeds. Through nearly a decade of charitable efforts, the company has generously donated over 500000 yuan to support more than 80 students, as well as supporting and sponsoring the cause of people with disabilities. It frequently donates funds and supplies to nursing homes in its hometown and actively contributes to rural development, among many others. Regardless of holidays or extreme heat and cold, Bian Yufu led company leaders and union cadres to nursing homes and welfare homes to send condolence money and gifts to the elderly and disabled, deeply caring for their lives, integrating good intentions and deeds into the company's "bloodline", and truly implementing charitable causes in practice. In order to strengthen the construction of new rural areas and improve infrastructure conditions, Bian Yufu donated more than 60000 yuan for road construction in his hometown under the initiative of the trade union. In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Bian Yufu became the first person in our city to donate, with a personal donation of 20000 yuan and a special party fee of 1000 yuan. Under his influence, the company's employees sparked a wave of donations; In the 2010 Yushu earthquake, Bian Yufu personally donated 10000 yuan, and with the mobilization of the labor union, company employees donated nearly 30000 yuan.

　　Although the enterprise is small in scale, it has a strong sense of social responsibility. In recent years, enterprise trade unions have conscientiously fulfilled their assistance functions, maximized the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of employees, effectively helped some workers and the masses with practical difficulties and problems, and brought the warmth of trade unions, the Party, and the country to the hearts of vulnerable groups. This is an extremely important mission of the people-oriented concept for enterprises in the new era, "said Bian Yufu. After 15 years of ups and downs with the enterprise, he now encourages himself to always have four hearts: sympathy, humility, gratitude, and seeking truth from facts. I will hold onto this kind of heart and work hard to do it. We believe that luck will take care of him. (Reprinted from Today's Ningguo, November 23, 2015, 7th edition)
