Watching the tide at the head of the tide丨The transformation of Liuzhou, innovation is the soul – yqqlm

On April 26, President Xi Jinping The secretary came to Liuzhou for inspection. Liuzhou, the largest industrial city in Guangxi, was a business card of new China’s industrial development, and it was once the “acid rain capital” with serious pollution. In recent years, Liuzhou has not only expanded its “industrial trees” and “industrial forests,” it has also achieved a “green butterfly change”. Why did Liuzhou change? May wish to find the answer from the two companies and parks visited by the General Secretary in Liuzhou this time.

“Made in Liugong” witnessed “Made in China”

In 1958, more than 500 young people from Shanghai and other places came to a “Longtengbei” in the western suburbs of Liuzhou In the wilderness, a new factory was built. The factory was named “Liuzhou Construction Machinery Manufacturing Factory”, which was the predecessor of Liugong Group. During the same period, Liuzhou also undertook the “Ten Major Industrial Construction Projects” such as steel plants, thermal power plants, and United Machinery Plants deployed by the state, and industry has thus become the lifeblood of Liuzhou’s development.

On October 1, 1966, the 17th birthday of the Republic, Liugong successfully developed my country’s first wheel loader-Liugong Z435. The solid and powerful orange bucket, the one-person tall black huge tires, and the working weight of 3.5 tons make this type of loader “contribute to the construction of New China.”

For more than 60 years, Liugong has been working hard in the field of machinery manufacturing. At present, Liugong has a total of 32 product lines in 13 categories, including excavation machinery, scrapers, and agricultural machinery. Among them, wheel loaders have the largest sales volume in the world.

The development and growth of Liugong is a microcosm of my country’s industrial development. At present, my country is not only the world’s largest construction machinery manufacturing base, but also the world’s largest manufacturing country for 11 consecutive years, and has become the only country in the world with all industrial categories.

In April 2017, when Xi Jinping visited Guangxi, he pointed out that innovation is the first driving force for development. State-owned enterprises must be the vanguard of the implementation of new development concepts, of innovation-driven development, and of the implementation of major national strategies.

Innovation is exactly the way Liugong Group wins. For more than 60 years, Liugong Group has always adhered to technological innovation and quality improvement, and created many “firsts” in the machinery manufacturing industry: my country’s first underground loader, the largest tonnage loader, and so on. After the reform and opening up, Liugong has created a miracle that the global sales of single-model loaders exceed 150,000 units. Liugong is also the first listed company in my country’s construction machinery industry, and is the first in the industry to build a nationwide dealer system.

In 2015, Liugong established a global R&D center to advance into cutting-edge fields such as green intelligent manufacturing. The country’s first 5G intelligent remote control loader was born in Liugong, achieving a remote control over the distance of 2,000 kilometers from Beijing to Liuzhou. Liugong Machinery is present at the China Antarctic Scientific Research Station, Baihetan Hydropower Station, Sichuan-Tibet Railway and other major engineering sites.

The Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed that scientific and technological self-reliance should be taken as a strategic support for national development. The development of Liugong once again confirms that independent innovation is the only way to enhance the core competitiveness of an enterprise and achieve high-quality development of the enterprise.

“Internet celebrity food”, with its innovative “sucking fans”

Among the many delicacies in Liuzhou, “snail noodles” is the most famous. The refreshing and smoothness of the rice noodles and the fragrant sour and hotness of the soup will make those who like it love it.

How to make the original snail noodles travel all over the country, even to the oceans? The people of Liuzhou, an industrial city, developed production lines, formulated industry standards, registered geographical indication certification trademarks, and other measures to make snail noodles originally eaten in dine-in packages into “fast food in bags.” The innovative pre-packing technology has increased the shelf life from 30 days to 180 days. In order to adapt to foreign markets, Liuzhou people have innovated and developed a foreign version of the formula while maintaining the traditional taste of snail noodles.

In terms of innovative sales channels, Liuzhou people use celebrities to bring goods, live webcasts, e-commerce platforms and other methods to make “Liuzhou Snails noodles” a “Internet celebrity food” sells well all over the world. Last year, Liuzhou’s pre-packaged snail flour sales revenue reached 11 billion yuan, and the sales revenue of supporting and derivative products exceeded 13 billion yuan. Millet fans have achieved a “double tens of billions” industry.

The General Secretary issued an “innovation” mobilization order

From “Liugong” brand loaders, SAIC-GM-Wuling Motors, “Yufeng” brand cement, to “Liangmianzhen” brand toothpaste , “Golden Throat” throat tablets, Liuzhou snail powder, a series of well-known brands have achieved the “Liuzhou phenomenon.” In 2020, Liuzhou’s total industrial output value will account for about a quarter of Guangxi’s entire district.

Behind this, there is not only the continuation of Liuzhou’s industrial bloodline, but also the “new kinetic energy” brought about by innovation, which promotes the transformation and upgrading of “Made in Liuzhou” to high-quality development. Innovation is undoubtedly the “code” that interprets Liuzhou’s development.

Only innovators advance, only innovators are strong, and only innovators win. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has placed innovation at the core of the overall development of the country.

Four years ago, the General Secretary pointed out during an inspection in Guangxi that to focus on innovation is to focus on development, and to seek innovation is to seek the future. Last month, the General Secretary emphasized during an inspection tour in Fujian that innovation does not matter “origin,” as long as anyone can contribute to the country, he will support them. This is the “innovation” mobilization order issued by the General Secretary again at the beginning of the “14th Five-Year Plan”.
