Chen Yulan's main deeds

With a short gray hair, a plain navy suit jacket, an authentic Jimo dialect and a modest and cordial smile, this is Chen Yulan, the chairman of Qingdao Ji Fa Group, which has a 50-year export history and the largest export production base of hair products and knitted garments in China. Simplicity is the deepest impression left by Chen Yulan in his 60s. As the chairman, her dress is no different from that of the old lady next door. It is even difficult to connect her with a well-known private enterprise with assets of 2.6 billion. In the past 30 years, a small factory in Jimo County has become a private knitting giant in China, and its employees have increased from 200 to over 1 10,000. The new "Silk Road" she set foot on will closely connect Jimo with more than 30 countries in the world.

30 years ago: the leader of the hard truth

Talking about the "family history" in the past 30 years, Chen Yulan's feelings are still simple: "Today, it is not because of Chen Yulan, but because of China's reform and opening up. Comrade Xiaoping's development is the last word, and the national cause has never stopped for 30 years."

As early as 1970s, Ji Fa was a small collective factory specializing in hair processing. 1974, Chen Yulan was appointed as the deputy director of the production and operation department. Just after Chen Yulan took over the production and operation, the international chemical fiber wigs began to advance by leaps and bounds, the traditional hair products were unsalable, and the factory benefits fell to the lowest point. Chen Yulan was in his early thirties. With the indomitable spirit in her bones, she resolutely proposed not to compete with international shocks, adjust the production and export of stalls, find another way, enter the production line of new varieties, and accelerate industrial expansion.

Since then, instant products have been enriched and the economic benefits of enterprises have soared. Subsequently, Chen Yulan was unanimously elected as the factory director.

Du Dong: She was the first to go abroad.

At the critical time when the enterprise got out of the predicament and started, 198 1 at the beginning of the year, due to the restriction of export quota, the leading products of labor gloves that once pulled the enterprise back from the line of life and death were once stopped, and the enterprise was once again faced with an emergency of life and death.

"I have to find another way!" Chen Yulan secretly make a determined effort in my mind. At that time, the state proposed "invigorating the country and opening to the outside world". After many investigations at home and abroad, she got an important message: the demand for cotton knitted underwear in the international market is in short supply!

198 1, she resolutely went to Japan, which was the first enterprise study group in Jimo. Less than three months of study, Chen Yulan couldn't help but go home early. 1982, she started the first processing project in Jimo, and then signed the first compensation trade project for knitted underwear with Hyogo Trading Co., Ltd., which realized the key shift of cross-industry operation, and the annual output value increased from several million yuan to tens of millions of yuan, becoming a large profit and tax household in jimo city.

"Comrade Xiaoping said that development is the last word, and it is true. The goal of our enterprise is "development, development and redevelopment". If the country did not propose reform and opening up, if there was no support from the' hard truth', it would not have taken such a crucial step. " As the "leader" of the domestic knitting industry, today's Chen Yulan still has many feelings about the past in the 1970s and 1980s. She told reporters that it was not only her young years, but also the difficulties she was about to face and the testimony of the country's development.

1990s: Jimo became famous for her.

Jimo city is a county-level city in Qingdao, and Jimo is a famous "China Knitting City" at home and abroad. People in Jimo said that Chen Yulan played an important role in making Jimo famous. Without the "leader" of Sufa Group, "Knitting City" would have no gold content.

This is not an exaggeration. 1993, Chen Yulan and Itochu Corporation of Japan, a fortune 500 company, jointly established Qingdao Guihua Knitting Co., Ltd., and then jointly established Qingdao Zhong Mian Knitting Co., Ltd. with Nippon Cotton Co., Ltd., another fortune 500 company. 1993, Chen Yulan was granted the right to import and export, and its knitwear export area expanded from a single eastern European market to more than 20 countries and regions such as Japan, the United States and Europe; 1997, immediately transformed into a private enterprise. Along the way, * * * established joint ventures 18, including 5 joint ventures with the world's top 500 enterprises, forming a knitted garment industrial chain integrating spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing, printing, garment processing and packaging accessories, which were exported to more than 30 countries and regions around the world.

Now: Take advantage of the financial turmoil to "go back"

This year, a global financial storm has deeply affected China, the "factory of the world". Tens of thousands of manufacturing, processing and export enterprises in the southern region collapsed overnight, and the domestic textile industry is facing an unprecedented cold winter.

"Difficulties must be overcome, but we still have to find ways to develop." Chen Yulan, who has experienced many ups and downs, has a different understanding of each dilemma. She told reporters that in order to survive this economic winter, we must start the domestic market and turn from "going out" to "coming back" inward.

Chen Yulan said that the inward transformation has not been divorced from the pace of development. At present, the country is also vigorously stimulating domestic demand and seeking domestic demand. Since the interview arrangement, Chen Yulan has been traveling between Jinan, Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. At present, the distribution in these cities has all started.

"Almost 70 years old, there will always be a day of retirement, but I believe that Quick Hair will continue to develop. This is the last word that no one can change. " Chen Yulan said through the hair in her ear.

Party member, 65, a deputy to the 10th National People's Congress, is currently the chairman and party secretary of Qingdao Ji Fa Group Holding Co., Ltd. ..

He has successively won the honorary titles of National Model Worker, National March 8th Red Flag Bearer, National Model Worker, National Excellent Female Entrepreneur, National May 1st Labor Medal, National Advanced Individual in Quality Management, Top Ten Outstanding Women in Qilu, Shandong Province Labor Medal of "Enriching the People and Prospering the Road" and Shandong Province Excellent Manager.

Dare to save her business twice.

Chen Yulan's entrepreneurship is full of struggles and hardships. 1974, Chen Yulan was appointed as the deputy director of the production and operation department. At that time, due to the impact of international chemical fiber wigs, the national hair industry was generally depressed, and traditional hair products were unsalable and the benefits were low. Chen Yulan, who has pioneering spirit, put forward decisively: reducing the production and export of stalls, upgrading varieties and accelerating industrial expansion. As a result, a series of new products such as work gloves, teaching wigs, toy wigs and wigs for men and women have entered the international market in one fell swoop, and the economic benefits of enterprises have soared.

All the staff saw Chen Yulan's innovative spirit and leadership, and unanimously elected Chen Yulan as the factory director. At the beginning of 198 1, due to the restriction of export quota, the leading product of the enterprise, labor gloves, was once discontinued, and the enterprise was once again facing an emergency of life and death. She led three employees to study in Japan and made detailed consultation and demonstration on the processing project. After 1982 successfully launched the first processing project in Jimo, 1984 successfully signed the first compensation trade project of knitted underwear in Jimo with Hyogo Trading Co., Ltd., which made the enterprise take a key step in cross-industry operation, and even made the enterprise develop from annual sales output value of several hundred thousand yuan to tens of millions of yuan, becoming a big profit and tax household in jimo city.

From 65438 to 0987, the state implemented the policy of "changing appropriation to loan" and implemented the bidding system for key projects of textile export products. Thanks to Chen Yulan's efforts, the company won the bid for the knitting project, won 3.7 million yuan of funds, and used the Japanese government's "black letter return" loan of more than 3 million dollars to successfully implement the technical transformation project.

Innovation makes enterprises stand at the forefront.

"Development and further development, lasting success" has become the highest goal of Chen Yulan's struggle. From 1984 to 2005, Chen Yulan led enterprises to achieve steady and rapid growth in sales revenue, profits and taxes, and export earnings. In 2003, it ranked first in the comprehensive competitiveness of knitting industry in China, first in the export of knitted garments in China and first in the economic benefit of knitting industry in China, and ranked among the top 100 industrial enterprises (groups) in Shandong Province, the top 200 largest import and export enterprises in China and the top 100 garment enterprises in China.

Since 1980s, with Chen Yulan's careful planning and efforts, Instant Group has established five joint ventures with fortune 500 enterprises, and actually utilized more than 70 million US dollars of foreign capital, forming a knitted garment industrial chain with spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing, printing, garment processing and packaging accessories, with an annual output of 65.438+0.5 billion pieces and exported to more than 20 countries around the world. The instant knitting production base, which started construction in 2000, has a total investment of 654.38 billion yuan, and nine Sino-foreign joint venture projects have been put into operation. In 2005, the sales revenue reached 2 billion yuan, which promoted the rapid expansion of enterprise scale. Established the only national enterprise technology center in the national knitting industry, and developed hundreds of new technologies and thousands of new products every year on average. More than 27% of the Group's sales revenue and 30% of its profits come from technological innovation. "Instant" brand chitin fiber healthy knitted underwear won the second prize of national scientific and technological progress and national patent. The shaping technology and garment dyeing technology of high elastic knitted garment fabrics have become the technical advantages of Instant Group in participating in the international market competition.

Honesty, pragmatism, management and market making

Over the years, Chen Yulan has closely combined China traditional culture with international advanced management experience, gradually formed a people-oriented, honest and trustworthy management culture with immediate characteristics, and created a "total quality management method" suitable for its own enterprises, that is, quantified, decomposed, controlled and assessed the work quality, engineering quality, cost accounting, field management and marketing centered on product quality, and finally achieved the quality goal, forming a unique management model and system with immediate development. The most immediate thing is the "1235 quality assurance law" they summarized and implemented, that is, "one evaluation, two comparisons, three no five confirmations", which was carried out through mass labor competitions and was highly praised by foreign counterparts, and took the lead in passing the ISO900 1 international quality system certification and ISO 1400 1 in the same industry.

Chen Yulan adheres to the business philosophy of "open the market together, and everyone can make money", and integrates the friendship established in trade into production and operation. On the basis of consolidating the Japanese and American markets, we have opened up markets in Russia, the Middle East, Europe and South America in time, set up trading companies and offices in the United States, Russia and other countries and regions, and established long-term business cooperation relations with many large companies such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour and GAP.

She is a person who cares about the masses.

However, her style of getting along with the broad masses of workers has not changed. The employee was seriously ill in hospital, so she sent someone to pick him up for treatment. She took the lead in donating money to employees in need. When retired workers celebrate their birthdays, she will send someone to send birthday cakes or visit them in person.
