Her head is Zhang Wuzong, a model worker in Shandong Province, an outstanding entrepreneur in Shandong Province, one of the top ten civilized citizens in Tai'an City, and the chairman of the board.

Zhang Wuzong first had a military career, and then engaged in economic management. After graduating from Shandong University with a major in economics and management, he embarked on a journey of exploring enterprise reform and development step by step. In April 1989, Zhang Wuzong, who had served as director of the Enterprise Reorganization Office and deputy factory director, took office as the director of Shiheng Special Steel Plant of Jigang Group. At the end of 2000, Shandong Shiheng Special Steel Co., Ltd., a joint-stock private enterprise, was born, and the shareholders' meeting elected Zhang Wuzong as chairman. On July 28, 2001, at the Tai'an Economic Work Conference, Shandong Shiheng Special Steel Co., Ltd. and Jigang Group Shiheng Special Steel Plant were respectively listed as key enterprises in the "13511" project of building an economically strong city; in June 2002 In September, Shandong Province announced that among the 297 extra-large, large-scale industrial and trade enterprises in the province, Shandong Shiheng Special Steel Co., Ltd. and Jigang Group Shiheng Special Steel Plant were also included in the ranks of large enterprises in Shandong Province. On April 9, 2004, the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission and the Provincial Bureau of Statistics jointly held a press conference to announce the top 100 industrial enterprises (groups) in Shandong Province in 2003. Shandong Shiheng Special Steel Co., Ltd. was shortlisted among the top 100, ranking 73rd. In 2003, the output of electric furnace steel was 102.69 tons, breaking through the million tons mark for the first time, achieving a new leap in the history of development since the establishment of the factory. 852,000 tons of steel were produced, an increase of 17.1% compared with 2002 and a record high. The total industrial output value was 3.95 billion yuan (special steel company 2.42 billion yuan, special steel factory 1.53 billion yuan), sales revenue was 4.035 billion yuan (special steel company 2.478 billion yuan, special steel factory 1.557 billion yuan), and the total profit and tax was 326 million yuan. Yuan, and the amount of foreign exchange earned from exports was US$5.76 million.

With the courage and courage of an outstanding entrepreneur, Zhang Wuzong led the cadres and workers to face the severe and complex market situation, emancipate their minds, seize opportunities, keep pace with the times, and accelerate development. The enterprise The scale has continued to expand, economic benefits have significantly improved, rapid expansion and leap-forward development have been achieved, double harvests have been achieved in the construction of two civilizations, and outstanding contributions have been made to economic construction.

Development is the last word; failure to develop can only lead to a dead end

Under the conditions of market economy, whether the product structure of an enterprise is reasonable or not directly affects and determines the future and destiny of the enterprise. In 1991, the electric furnace steel output of Shiheng Special Steel Plant was only 75,000 tons, and it was open-ended steel ingots that were explicitly prohibited from production by the state. There was steel but no material, and the structure was simple. The mechanical products were only more than a thousand tons, and some were only a few hundred tons. The company On the brink of life and death. Zhang Wuzong assessed the situation and did not wait or rely. With his wisdom and innovative spirit, he led the leadership team to persevere in technological innovation. From the end of the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" to the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", a total of more than 200 million yuan was invested in the construction of the first to third phases of technical transformation projects. 3 continuous casting machine production lines, 2 steel rolling production lines, and 2 new 20-ton electric furnaces were built. , 2 ladle refining furnaces, 2 oxygen generators, and 1 gas station, forming an electric furnace-refining furnace-continuous casting-rolling short-process production line, embarking on a path of low investment, quick results, within one's ability, and rolling development. , which has since reversed the long-term passive situation of steel but no materials.

Zhang Wuzong leads the team and always regards development as the top priority. To this end, the strategic decision was made to further accelerate the pace of development during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, with a total investment of more than 1 billion yuan, focusing on the construction of the internationally advanced Kansidi electric furnace steelmaking production line and the domestically advanced blast furnace ironmaking production line. , an internationally advanced high-speed wire production line and a series of supporting projects. The Kangsidi electric furnace and blast furnace ironmaking production lines were completed and put into operation in 2002, the high-speed wire rod production line was completed and put into operation in August 2004, and the third steelmaking project was completed and put into operation at the end of 2004. By the end of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan", the overall scale of the enterprise can achieve a comprehensive production capacity of 1 million tons of iron, 1.6 million tons of steel, and 1.6 million tons of materials per year, with sales revenue of 4.5 to 5 billion yuan and profits and taxes of 300 million to 500 million yuan. New rapidly developing platform.

The rapid expansion and development of enterprises has created huge material wealth for the country and made increasing contributions to society. In 2002, the Special Steel Company paid over 100 million yuan in various taxes and fees to the national and local finances, and in 2003 it reached 150 million yuan. In two to three years, the various taxes and fees paid will exceed 200 million yuan. At the same time, it also radiated and promoted the rapid development of local economy. The construction of Shiheng Town Economic Park, the construction of Gangchang Road, the construction of Beishi Business Park, the construction of Feicheng Haixing Building Materials Company, Xipu Lime Plant and Beigaoyu Steel Formwork Plant were all developed based on the construction of Special Steel Company. The continuous construction and successive commissioning of the company's major technical transformation projects have not only internally digested and placed a large number of surplus personnel in the company, but also recruited and placed more than 400 college graduates, more than 1,000 technical secondary school students (technical school students) and more from the society. More than 600 contract workers from nearby farmers work in the company.

In the first half of 2004, we also solved the employment problems for the children of the Coking Company and the resettlement of some veterans in Feicheng City, which relieved the burden on the local government and made a positive contribution to social stability.

Deepen internal reforms and innovate corporate systems and mechanisms

Since 1994, he has led his team to adhere to the reform of the property rights system as the core, implement diversified investment transformation, and boldly explore enterprise system innovation. After three restructuring processes and asset reorganization, he has grafted the joint-stock private enterprise Shandong Shiheng Special Steel Co., Ltd. has successfully created an enterprise management model of "one factory, two systems, and joint development of state-owned and private enterprises". In the past few years, private enterprises have developed rapidly as one of the "three highlights" of Shandong Province, and the province has also issued policies related to "the withdrawal of state-owned capital and further development and expansion of the private economy."

On December 19, 2001, "Manager's Daily" published the article "One Factory, Two Systems, State-owned Enterprises and Private Enterprises - Investigation on System and Mechanism Innovation of Shandong Shiheng Special Steel Co., Ltd." and titled "Shigang Model: A Successful Example" "The title of "'Shigang Model' is a successful example of liberalization and revitalization of state-owned small and medium-sized enterprises, so it has universal reference significance"; "'Shigang Model' is fully in line with the spirit of the central government"; "Special Steel Company Capital Returns Collective ownership by all shareholding employees is one of the effective forms of public ownership. It embodies the combination of human capital and physical capital, and is the great union of workers' labor and capital. This new production relationship makes the collective under the old system. All abstract concepts are concrete, objectified, and quantified, and investment and income are unified through dividends in the form of currency, so that employees can obtain the dual rights and interests of distribution according to work and capital, and their "owner status" is realized. When implemented, it can effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises and employees and improve living standards." Subsequently, "China Metallurgical News", "Economic Promotion News", provincial and municipal TV stations and other media reported it in a timely manner, which aroused strong repercussions in the society.

In November 1998, Chen Jianguo, former deputy secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, made important instructions on the submission of the investigation report "Investigation of the Implementation of "Three Reforms and One Strengthening" at Shiheng Special Steel Plant of Jigang Group" by the Political Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee: "Shi The experience of Heng Steel Plant is very good.

In 2003, the cost reduction rate of comparable products was 3.6%; the proportions of administrative expenses, financial expenses, and sales expenses to sales revenue were 3.1, 2.1, and 0.4 respectively. The total of the three expenses was 5.6%, 0.8 percentage points lower than the previous year, and 62 key enterprises nationwide. The average level of steel companies is 5.6 percentage points lower, with a relative savings of 140 million yuan.
