Chai Xinjian's personal deeds

Chai Jianxin, who is in his early forties, still keeps the habit of taking a hot bath every day when he was in France. He publicly said that I was an "old turtle" (return), and now I am basically a "river turtle".

Chai is the general manager of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited. At the end of 1996, he came to Little Swan as a job seeker. Prior to this, he studied for a doctorate in fluid mechanics at the National Institute of Technology in Lorraine, France.

1996, the network has just emerged, and it is still very fashionable to recruit talents through the network. Wuxi Little Swan Company tentatively posted a global recruitment notice on the Internet, which was inadvertently seen by Chai Xinjian, who was studying in France at that time and had just finished his thesis defense.

Zhu Dekun, the chairman of Little Swan, was thirsty for talents and immediately invited Dr. Chai to visit Wuxi.

Seeing the neat factory building, modern production line and well-organized management, Chai was a little tempted. But Wuxi can't compare with western developed cities. At this time, a large international company in Australia also sent him an invitation letter.

Before leaving, Zhu Dekun had a secret talk with Chai Xinjian for half an hour. The general idea of this talk is that Wuxi Cygnet unswervingly aims to revitalize the national industry. But at present, there are 1 1 foreign washing machine enterprises within 500 kilometers around Fiona Fang, and their total investment is six times that of domestic washing machine industry. Among them, 8 companies have surrounded Little Swan, and they are eyeing up the local home appliance enterprises in China. Little Swan very much hopes to develop the core technology of washing machine and make it bigger and stronger as a national brand.

This secret talk finally strengthened Dr. Chai's determination to return to China for employment.

1At the end of 996, Chai Xinjian and his wife came to Wuxi and Little Swan. Zhu Dekun asked him happily, what do you want in terms of treatment? Chai said, I'm here to do things, not to enjoy them, as long as I don't worry about my life.

Who says foreigners' things can't be moved?

After Chai Xinjian came to Little Swan, Chairman Zhu Dekun decided that Dr. Chai was engaged in research work, and the company "needed money and needed people to give it to others".

A research group named "Vibration Noise of Water Flow" was set up in Little Swan. This research group is really small. There are only four people in total. One is an old master, the other is an engineer who has just graduated from a university for two years, and the other is a newly graduated college student. The team leader is Chai Xinjian.

The noise of washing machines was a common industrial problem in China at that time. Little Swan handed over the technical problem of "noise reduction" to Chai Xinjian. Coincidentally, water flow is the professional research direction of Chai Xinjian.

Chai knows the importance of this research. He took off his dress and went deep into the workshop to work with the workers and technicians on the assembly line. Four months later, the first technical report came out. As a result, Little Swan washing machine sells well in the market because of its power saving, water saving and noise reduction.

Shortly thereafter, Chai Xinjian was appointed as the director of the Little Swan Technology Center composed of 80 people. Zhu Dekun, the chairman with a strong Wuxi accent, said that in the future, the company can't speak Wuxi dialect, but must speak Mandarin. Because Chai Xinjian, who was born in Xi 'an, couldn't understand Wuxi dialect at that time.

Chai Xinjian knew that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier. How can you be worthy of the title of director of this technology center if you lead 80 people and don't get ahead?

He wants to take apart the core technology of the 4.5 kg washing machine and try to change it. This is taboo. Domestic washing machines are imported from foreign technology, and no one dares to modify foreign drawings. For many years, it was pure import and pure imitation, which was almost unwritten at that time. However, Chai Xinjian said that the laws of science are inviolable, but the experience of various countries can be summarized according to their own actual conditions. The washing machine is not an airplane. Why can't it move?

Finally, the improved "Sprinkler King" series washing machines appeared in the market and sold well. This is a new product made by Chai Xinjian on the basis of Panasonic prototype, thus releasing the potential advantages of Japanese fuzzy washing machine and solving the headache problem of domestic washing machine.

Under the auspices of Chai Xinjian, the technical research of Little Swan began geometric fission. The number of national patents declared by the company has increased from 2 in 1996 to more than 200 every year, many of which are technical patents for scientific and technological inventions. Chai Xinjian was soon appointed as the company's deputy general manager, in charge of technological innovation.

200 1, nominated by Chairman Zhu Dekun, Chai Xinjian became the general manager.

It is said that only one person abstained in the "referendum" of the whole plant opinion poll before Chai took office, and that was Chai Xinjian himself.

"Turtles" become "terrapin", and employment becomes entrepreneurship.

Chai Xinjian, who became general manager, said that in the past, all I had to do was make sure I had food. Now, I want to make sure that all the workers in the factory have food and live a better life. [Page]

Chai didn't forget the secret talk with Zhu Dekun before coming to Little Swan. Facing the encirclement of the "G8", Chai Xinjian thought of breaking through the tight encirclement with core technology.

Under the auspices of Chai Xinjian, Little Swan has accelerated the research and development of core technologies, implemented a series of research and development projects, and improved the competitiveness of core technologies.

In June 2003, a mysterious guest came to Shenzhen, China. He asked for a meeting with Little Swan Company by name. He is a famous business representative of American General Motors Company. One to two, at the end of that year, the two sides finally signed the Agreement on Joint Development of Long-term Cooperation Strategy in Shanghai.

In July 2005, the high-end washing machines produced by Little Swan began to be exported to the United States, and the price of each washing machine was as high as $65,438+0,000 yuan. Because this kind of washing machine saves electricity and water, the subsidy given by the US government to buyers is $0/00 per set. Only this export, Little Swan achieved sales of 40 million dollars that year. Chai Xinjian said that the cooperation with GM will find a "strong growth point" for Little Swan. He predicted that after two years, the foreign sales market of Little Swan will surpass the domestic market.

Chai Xinjian, a technical background, has made a rapid appearance in many aspects such as management and marketing. He suggested that managers should respect people first. The company has only employees, not doctors, masters and new and old employees. "Enter the door to see academic qualifications, cultivate potential, work ability and encourage contributions". In the company's business philosophy, he proposed the transformation from domestic appliance manufacturers to international appliance manufacturers, holding an open and inclusive attitude towards peers, competing in cooperation and cooperating in competition.

Fate can really play tricks on people sometimes. From 65438 to 0996, Chai Xinjian came to Little Swan as a job seeker. To put it bluntly, he came to look for a job. 10 years later, Chai Xinjian became a small and successful entrepreneur. Nowadays, Chai Xinjian often appears in various forums and job fairs as a "typical entrepreneur of returned overseas students" and an "image ambassador for attracting talents from Wuxi".

Chai Xinjian said, I am an "old turtle", but my roots are in China, and I caught up with a good opportunity to start a great cause. I want to be a river turtle in China!
