Zhou Lixin is from Tangshan. I dreamed of being a soldier and fighting since I was a child. After graduating from high school, I joined the army and was his favorite scout. However, he regretted that he could not wait for the opportunity to go to the battlefield during his service. After demobilization, Zhou Lixin was assigned to work in an enviable state-owned enterprise. Born active, coupled with the rolling wave of reform, Zhou Lixin resolutely resigned from his "iron rice bowl" and started his own business after working for several years.
As early as 1998, with the unique keen insight of scouts, we began to plan the future entrepreneurial direction forward-looking. Looking beyond industry, Zhou Lixin has not followed the footsteps of its predecessors and repeated the old road of local private enterprises to develop metallurgy and coal. Instead, it found another way to target high-tech biotechnology projects. In Zhou Lixin's view, resource-based enterprises that rely on mountains to eat mountains are always idle, and with the enhancement of human health care awareness, bio-high-tech projects will be green industries and will last longer. Zhou Lixin's innovation is superior to others in industrial layout, which coincides with the strategy of Tangshan Iron and Steel 20 10 to transform from a resource-based city to a green innovative city.
Behind the father of chondroitin sulfate application in China
Therefore, Zhou Lixin has consulted from Beijing to Dalian, to Yantai, to universities and research institutes. Many things happen, and finally I found a high-tech project-chondroitin sulfate in Yantai University, Shandong Province. The professor was moved by Zhou Lixin's sincerity and transferred the technology of glucosamine hydrochloride to him. Both of them are high-tech biochemical products, which have good effects on preventing and treating osteoarthritis and reducing blood fat. As a health food, it has been popular in Europe and America, accounting for 13% of the health food market in the United States. Zhou Lixin is very excited about the good market prospect. Under the guidance of peers and experts, he began to set up his own biochemical factory.
Since the end of 1998, Zhou Lixin has raised more than 600,000 yuan to build the Tangshan Liu Su, which has been shut down for many years. After more than three months' efforts, the first batch of chondroitin sulfate was produced in China. Good quality, honest management, products quickly enter the international market, in short supply! Subsequently, Zhou Lixin added and improved two production lines to meet the market demand.
In Zhou Lixin's mind, innovation is an eternal theme. Chondroitin sulfate is known as the "soft gold" of joints. In the process of dealing with American merchants, Zhou Lixin gradually learned that about 60% of the elderly in the United States are taking chondroitin sulfate compound preparation, and the price of chondroitin sulfate as the raw material of the compound preparation is only one tenth of the price of the finished product. As one of the largest suppliers of chondroitin sulfate in the US market, Zhou Lixin seems to have been greatly stimulated. No matter how good the enterprise benefits, it is also the export of raw materials. Zhou Lixin was not satisfied with providing raw materials for foreign countries, so it decided to develop chondroitin sulfate products to fill the domestic gap.
Zhou Lixin, a soldier, did what he said. In 2002, he invested heavily in developing the high-tech project of chondroitin sulfate tablets, and was included in the key high-tech innovation project of Hebei Province in the same year. This product not only fills the gap in the domestic market, but also exports to the United States and Europe, increasing foreign exchange income. In 2004, as the first compound preparation of chondroitin sulfate for special rehabilitation of osteoarthritis in China, it was appraised by the national technical supervision department, and its combination formula and production technology reached the international advanced level. In 2008, Sanxin High-tech Industrial Park started construction, and the second venture made Zhou Lixin stand on a higher platform, and also incubated high-tech products into high-tech industries. From 1999 to now, the accumulated foreign exchange earned by export is nearly 200 million US dollars.
Next, based on the existing chondroitin sulfate series, we will establish a research and development base for plant and marine biological extraction series and build the largest biochemical production base in China. In the industry, Zhou Lixin enjoys a high reputation as "the father of chondroitin sulfate application in China". This is the society's best affirmation of Zhou Lixin and Sanxin's outstanding contributions to biochemistry. At the same time, he will stick to this high-tech "Made in China" mode.
