Two major events in 22 made him and Shaanxi Automobile, only to be caught in a lawsuit dispute after retirement.

A while ago, Shaanxi Automobile Holdings and Yuchai had a heated cooperation. I think everyone should have heard that Shaanxi Automobile Holdings and Yuchai signed a strategic cooperation agreement. At the ceremony, one party was Yuchai, and the other was the leaders of Shaanxi Automobile Holdings and Yuchai Commercial Vehicle. Behind this unremarkable news is full of profound meaning.

firstly, Yuchai is the largest independent engine manufacturer in China; Second, Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck Company is a heavy truck manufacturer in China. In terms of sales volume alone, Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck Company sold 167, vehicles in 218, ranking fourth after Jiefang, Dongfeng and Heavy Duty Truck Company.

However, the controlling shareholder of Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck is Weichai. So, Weichai's holding company engages in strategic cooperation with Yuchai? Probably here, many people may feel a little dizzy and the relationship is chaotic. What is the relationship between Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, Shaanxi Automobile Holdings and Shaanxi Automobile Commercial Vehicle?

○? The relationship between Shaanxi Automobile and Weichai

Shaanxi Automobile Holdings (Group) holds 49% of the shares of Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, and the other 51% is Weichai. The Shaanxi Automobile Commercial Vehicle was just renamed from Shaanxi Automobile Baohua in 218. The full name of Shaanxi Automobile Baohua is Shaanxi Automobile Baoji Huashan Construction Vehicle Co., Ltd.

So the previous event can be stated as follows: the leaders of Shaanxi Automobile Group and Baoji City came forward to sign an agreement with Yuchai in order to support Shaanxi Automobile Commercial Vehicle Company, which is completely independent of Shaanxi Automobile Group.

Although it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, it seems that this matter is not so simple after the leaders of Shaanxi Automobile Group explicitly proposed to "recreate a new Shaanxi Automobile" and turn Shaanxi Automobile commercial vehicles into the next Shaanxi Automobile.

Shaanxi Automobile Holdings (Group) has a huge family business, including: Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, Fast Gearbox, Hande Axle, Xi 'an Cummins, Shaanxi Automobile Tongjia, Shaanxi Automobile Osute, etc. However, the assets of one Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck account for more than 8% in the group. However, Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck is controlled by Weichai, which is like a son who inherited most of your possessions, but changed someone else's surname.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Shaanxi Automobile is eager to get rid of Weichai's control.

in my brother's view, Shaanxi Automobile has its present position in the domestic truck market, all because of Zhang Yupu's promotion.

who is Zhang yupu?

○? Zhang yupu

Zhang Yupu, who graduated from Xi 'an Jiaotong University in 1965, worked in Beijing Automobile Factory in 1968 through his own continuous efforts. Due to his high efficiency and excellent performance, he was transferred to Shaanxi Automobile Manufacturing General Factory one year later. Hard-working and eager to learn, he did not stop moving forward after coming to Shaanxi Automobile. In 1976, he served as the chief of Shaanxi Automobile Equipment Department, and in 1984, he served as the chief economist of Shaanxi Automobile. Zhang Yupu carried forward in Shaanxi Automobile with his own ability. Without letting my brother sigh, this is someone else's child.

In p>199, China was in the process of transforming from a planned economy to a market economy. In this process, Shaanxi Automobile encountered unprecedented difficulties, was insolvent and was on the verge of bankruptcy. It has also been criticized by the People's Daily and state leaders.

Zhang Yupu first adjusted the product structure. Due to historical reasons, Sinotruk, Sichuan Automobile and Shaanxi Automobile all produced Steyr and their own old products. Steyr is a unified purchase and marketing company. After Shaanxi Automobile is produced, it is handed over to Sinotruk, and the old products are sold by itself. After Zhang Yupu became the top leader, he won many Steyr products. As long as they can be produced and handed over to Sinotruk, sales will be realized.

On the other hand, Shaanxi Automobile must do it. In the past, Shaanxi Automobile couldn't complete the task even if it produced hundreds of vehicles a year. At this time, Zhang Yupu asked the cadres to set an example: if they couldn't complete the task, they should first deduct the salary of the cadres and link the salary with performance, so as to arouse everyone's enthusiasm.

Start with cadres, which is the beginning of humanized management formed by Zhang Yupu over the years, and then gradually condensed into the corporate culture of "Germany wins the world". The word "honesty" has been in the spirit of Shaanxi Automobile Enterprise for a long time. From solving the specific affairs of employees to the goals, principles and policies of the enterprise, Zhang Yupu can be regarded as keeping his word. The factory-level leaders of Shaanxi Automobile Co., Ltd. have also been punished by Zhang Yupu. To some extent, this practice of treating things rather than people is also an important reason for the success of Shaanxi Automobile Co., Ltd.

after people's hearts were united, the efficiency of Shaanxi Automobile Company was greatly improved, and the output reached 1, vehicles in 1991. Prior to this, Shaanxi Automobile did not do so much for more than 2 years. In just two years, Shaanxi Automobile turned losses into profits in one fell swoop.

Insist that the employees will not be laid off

○? The discontinued Shaanxi Automobile Aolong < P > has basically been in a state of stagnation since 1994. Affected by the big environment, the whole automobile industry is very depressed, and the bankruptcy and layoffs of enterprises all appear at this stage.

in p>1997, when Shaanxi Automobile Company reformed, Zhang Yupu insisted that employees should not be laid off. Cheng Andong, then the governor of Shaanxi Province, was very concerned about Shaanxi Automobile. Cheng Andong once said to Zhang Yupu, Lao Zhang, can you stand it like this? You should lay off at least 2 people. If you don't lay off (employees), it will be difficult for your enterprise to survive.

but what about third-tier enterprises, where employees are laid off? This was something that troubled Zhang Yupu at that time. Later, Zhang Yupu decided to let some employees retire. The so-called internal retirement is to let these employees leave their posts and pay the basic salary every month. Zhang Yupu's wife was a professor-level senior engineer at that time, but in order to support Zhang Yupu's decision, she took the lead in retiring. 1,5 employees between the ages of 45 and 5 have chosen to retire internally. Therefore, in the most difficult period, Shaanxi Automobile Company was neither bankrupt nor laid off.

separation scheme

In July and August, 2, the State Economic and Trade Commission officially issued the following. The whole vehicle is divided into three parts. In principle, the enterprises in which province go back to which province: the core and main departments of Sinotruk retain the title of China Sinotruk and put it under the management of Shandong Province. Jinan Heavy Duty Truck was renamed China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. Chongqing Heavy Duty Truck and Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck were decentralized to Chongqing and Shaanxi respectively, and Chongqing Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. were established respectively.

among the three heavy-duty automobile manufacturers, Shaanxi Automobile has the weakest foundation. In 1999, the annual output of Shaanxi Automobile was more than 2,, that of Sichuan Automobile was 3,5, and that of Jinan Automobile was 7,. Roughly speaking, Sichuan Automobile is twice as high as Shaanxi Automobile, and Jiqi is four times as high as Shaanxi Automobile, which is about the same level. Therefore, at that time, many people concluded that Shaanxi Automobile would definitely not survive-it was already very difficult, and if we split up again, we would only die.

introduce Hunan torch

○? The safety test of Shaanxi automobile truck

From the general situation, the automobile industry has resumed to a new growth period since 2. Zhang Yupu proposed that Shaanxi Automobile should take a differentiated strategy: everyone should produce Steyr, and Shaanxi Automobile should produce Steyr with the best quality. To this end, Shaanxi Automobile raised funds to carry out technical transformation, and spent 8 million yuan to purchase Steyr molds to organize production. The heavy trucks produced by Shaanxi Automobile are indeed the best.

Zhang Yupu was bold enough. He found Mr. Geng of Shenyang Machine Tool Plant and directly said to him, Mr. Geng, can you support me? I'll buy you 3 million yuan of equipment first, but I don't have any money now. If you trust me, I'll pay you back later.

this move is very risky. Unexpectedly, Geng always agreed. Of course, there is a premise here. At that time, the life of the machine tool factory was also difficult. It was also a big deal to order so many equipment at once.

but this is only a stopgap measure, and it will not solve the big problem of the enterprise after all.

therefore, there was a joint venture with Xiang Torch. In order to save Shaanxi Automobile. Zhang Yupu knows very well that Xiang Torch has no technology, but it is good at capital operation. In 21, Shaanxi Automobile began to contact Hunan Torch, and signed a joint venture agreement in 22, asking Hunan Torch for 25 million yuan.

In p>22, Zhang Yupu planned two major events. The first is to introduce F2 technology from Mann.

Because as early as 1994, Shaanxi Automobile had cooperated with MAN Company and introduced the bus chassis technology, which is now the Aushute Company.

With this cooperation foundation, the cooperation between Shaanxi Automobile and Mann Company in the field of heavy trucks has become much easier.

At that time, Mann was preparing for the replacement of F2, which was later TGA. The two technologies came down in one continuous line and there were many common parts. Shaanxi Automobile also needs a food product, after all, the technology of F2 is much more advanced than Steyr.

On the one hand, Shaanxi Automobile itself is small in scale, and it needs the approval of the relevant state departments to introduce the whole vehicle. At that time, the state had strict management on the introduction of the whole vehicle, and separate purchase could avoid the operational difficulty at this level; On the other hand, the introduction of complete vehicles involves engines, while domestic engines are relatively mature, including Weichai and Hangfa. More importantly, Shaanxi Automobile is not the same as FAW and Erqi. Shaanxi Automobile is not a tycoon, so with a little money, the whole vehicle technology can't be bought, and it can only be carefully calculated.

Therefore, at that time, Zhang Yupu proposed: only introduce technology, not brand, so that Shaanxi Automobile can maintain its independent brand. Mann also agreed, and my brother thought that maybe Mann thought Shaanxi Automobile was not good at that time. If the brand was given up, it might not be a good thing for them. This is the technical source of Shaanxi Automobile Delong series heavy trucks.

another important event is to plan the construction of the northern suburb base. Why build a new base? Compared with other automobile enterprises at home and abroad, the eastern suburb base and Mailixigou of Shaanxi Automobile Company are not called automobile factories, but just a few scattered workshops, and the production capacity simply can't keep up.

In 24, it entered the critical period of land expropriation, and as a result, it caught up with two major events: First, the State Council strictly controlled the land, and began to investigate the land expropriation in the whole country in the fourth quarter of 23, which reached its climax in the first half of 24.

Delong Crisis —— A series of previous events in Delong, the parent company of Xiang Torch, led to a run on Jinxin Trust, which led to the collapse of Delong's stock.

Delong crisis broke out. In order to build the northern suburb base, it is clear how much the torch and Shaanxi Automobile invested respectively. After the Delong crisis, Hunan Torch directly suspended its investment due to financial problems.

After that, the Delong incident became more and more fierce, and the seven banks dealing with Shaanxi Automobile came to urge Zhang Yupu to repay the loan. However, through his sincere words, Zhang Yupu simply kept the loans of these banks.

At that time, the president of Shaanxi Branch of Bank of Communications came to see Zhang Yupu. He said, Lao Zhang, I know your business. If I withdraw 1 million yuan, I may take you down. But if I don't smoke, I may lose my job.

Zhang Yupu said: Well, if you trust me, Zhang Yupu, you won't take my money, and I won't let you lose your jobs. Let's take a walk together and watch, and you support me. If this 1 million really affects your jobs, I can ask my employees not to pay for three months, and I will also return the money to you first.

The president of Shaanxi Branch of China Everbright Bank said, Lao Zhang, can you give it back to me first and I'll lend it to you right away? In order to convince Zhang Yupu, he completed the loan formalities in advance, and even showed Zhang Yupu the loan notice.

It can be said that at that time, Shaanxi Automobile established not only a working relationship with these banks, but also mutual trust, which helped them tide over the difficulties, and Shaanxi Automobile never caused any trouble to the banks from beginning to end.

Once these two things were completed, Shaanxi Automobile developed rapidly: in 25, the annual output of Shaanxi Automobile was 15, vehicles, and in 26 and 27, it doubled for two consecutive years, reaching 3, vehicles and 6, vehicles respectively. I am talking about a large number. In 26, the output of Shaanxi Automobile exceeded that of Sichuan Automobile, and in 27 it was twice that of Sichuan Automobile.

curtain call

○? Figure è Shaanxi Automobile Delong X5

On May 27th, 28, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Shaanxi Province decided that Zhang Yupu would no longer serve as the chairman and director of Shaanxi Automobile. Since Zhang Yupu became the factory director, a series of drastic reforms have taken place. In just 18 years, Shaanxi Automobile Co., Ltd., a third-tier automobile enterprise with a national investment of less than 1 million yuan at that time and in a serious crisis, has developed into a top 5 enterprise group in China with an output value exceeding 1 billion yuan. Zhang Yupu's solid foundation for Shaanxi Automobile did not deviate with Zhang Yupu's retirement, which was also reflected in the later development of Shaanxi Automobile.

After the perfect curtain call, Zhang Yupu, who was once touted by major media, failed to maintain his excellent entrepreneur image.

My brother learned that in 213, Zhang Yupu was involved in an ordinary litigation dispute. With various investigations, the reporter broke out that in 26, when Zhang Yupu was still in office, Zhang Yupu's son and daughter-in-law set up Beijing Huaaode, a company to sell Shaanxi heavy-duty vehicles and accessories. As a first-class distributor of Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, Beijing Huaaode has also established a joint venture with a subsidiary of Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck. Zhang Yupu, as the leader of state-owned enterprises, almost lost his life in this matter. Card friends who want to know the detailed events can search on their own, but my brother won't elaborate too much here.

Despite this matter, under the leadership of Zhang Yupu, Shaanxi Automobile has gone from bankruptcy to top 5 enterprises. Zhang Yupu's ability is beyond doubt, and he still "goes his own way" to build a new base in the case of overcapacity. This kind of courage has to be admired by my brother.

Zhang Yupu's previous operation provided Fang Hongwei with sufficient ammunition, and Fang Hongwei continued the rising road of Shaanxi Automobile, bringing this old heavy truck enterprise to a brand-new road of service-oriented manufacturing.
