Poor people: As long as you earn money, follow others. We sell things that others can make money; We also produce what others produce to make money; What kind of services are provided by others, and what kind of services are provided by us, so we can still make money?
Wenzhou people: imitation is the beginning. Development depends on innovation and continuous production of new products and technologies, so that enterprises can achieve long-term development and gain more wealth.
Innovation is a very important factor for enterprises to be invincible in the market. Some people say that market competition, in the final analysis, is product competition, technology competition and talent competition, and these competitions boil down to one point, that is, innovation competition. Only innovation can create new products, only innovation can provide new technologies, only innovation can make talents become real talents, and only innovation can make enterprises have real core competitiveness.
Wenzhou kaiyuan electric co., ltd is just an ordinary Wenzhou enterprise. However, such an ordinary enterprise puts independent innovation in the first place.
From 65438 to 0993, Wenzhou businessman Li happened to attend the symposium on high-voltage switch industry in China.
At the meeting, the participating experts and business leaders agreed that it is necessary to seize the opportunity of the country to vigorously promote the distribution of the ring network, independently develop high-voltage load switchgear, and revitalize the core industries of the power equipment industry.
However, independent research and development means that technology, materials and other guarantees are needed, and a lot of money is needed. Faced with the huge R&D expenses, the enterprises present were discouraged. Because innovation means that risks and opportunities coexist, independent innovation is more risky, and facing the possibility of failure, high R&D expenses may be wasted.
At this time, Li stood up and said, "I'll invest, I'll do it!" " "
Li asked the expert: "How much does it cost to develop it yourself?"
The expert said: "3 million yuan may not work."
At that time, Li's assets were only 6.5438 billion yuan, but he did not hesitate, but immediately hired experts and technicians to start research and development.
Li is with technicians every day and always pays attention to the progress of research and development.
Some people don't understand Li's practice, but say, "People can't always look at immediate interests. Private enterprises are first and foremost enterprises in China. If I do this, it doesn't matter how much money I earn, and the country will keep an industry. If not, I can start all over again and then sell mechanical and electrical products. "
1994 10 month. The first self-developed pneumatic load switch was sent to Xi 'an High Voltage Electrical Apparatus Research Institute for testing.
Late one night. Li was woken up by a phone call from Huang, an engineer of the security team: "Manager Li, it's over! The prototype exploded during the main parameter test! Millions of investments are gone! " Engineer Huang was very excited, saying that the researchers were extremely excited, and some people cried under the quilt.
Li felt a chill, but he immediately calmed down and comforted engineer Huang: "Why are you crying? Everybody up. Go drink! Do it tomorrow! No matter how much it costs, even if you lose everything, you must fight with them! "
The next day. Li immediately remitted 500,000 yuan to Ann.
"Innovation is risky. Independent innovation is more risky. This requires wisdom and more courage. The strength of scientific researchers and multinational companies to fight for technology is my biggest source of motivation. " Li said to him.
1in April, 1995, kaiyuan company independently developed a pneumatic load switch product at the national high-voltage electrical equipment testing center. At the same time, it is tested and verified by the products of VEI company in Italy, which has the largest sales volume in the world. Judging from the technical parameters of transmission current, "Kaiyuan" products far exceed VEI products.
Kaiyuan is a success! Since then, more than 100 domestic enterprises have started to use this technology transfer for production.
Today, Kaiyuan has successfully developed a series of new products such as built-in vacuum circuit breakers. Li proudly said: "We mainly rely on independent research and development, and now there are four categories of 365 and 438+0 series high-tech products for power transmission and transformation, and five national patents have been obtained. Several series of products have been listed as recommended products for the construction and transformation of urban and rural power grids in China by the State Economic and Trade Commission and the State Power Company. Our series of products have largely replaced imports. Through technology diffusion, the whole domestic industry has broken the market monopoly of multinational companies. As a private entrepreneur in Wenzhou, I can do something for national independent innovation. I am very happy! "
It is impossible for an enterprise to grow into a big company without its core competitiveness. Core competitiveness needs independent innovation to obtain. Nan Cunhui of Zheng Tai Group said: "Dare to innovate is the soul of an enterprise. In addition to being bold and innovative, it is important that you can break what is successful. We believe that experience may become a burden, and enterprises may become new risks when they get older.
In the past, the hands and feet of state-owned enterprises were tied, so you can let go of your hands and feet and remove your arms. Now they are untied, China has joined the WTO, and the "wolf" is coming. You can't rely on the old practices, methods and experiences in the past. Therefore, we must innovate-dare to overthrow ourselves and deny the past, so that enterprises can develop. "
At the end of 1999, Nan Cunhui, who had been quite successful in China, went to Silicon Valley in the United States. After coming back, Nan Cunhui said with great emotion: "I participated in the' 99 International Electronic Technology Expo, which was attended by 1800 enterprises from more than one country and region, and deeply felt our gap. Not only in Zheng Tai, but also the products of many well-known domestic enterprises are obviously different from those of the United States, Japan and other countries. It can be said that low-voltage electrical appliances are facing an innovation. Without technological innovation, it will be eliminated. "
Nan Cunhui warned everyone: "Open your eyes and see the world!"
After Zheng Tai became an excellent enterprise step by step, Nan Cunhui described Zheng Tai's success like this: "I think the first thing is respect. This is not only a respect for people, things, friends, competitors, knowledge and talents, but also a respect for reality and objective laws. The second is learning. This is manifested in constantly learning the strengths of others and always holding a modest attitude. The third is peace. This means that my mind has always maintained a balance and peace, which is very important for doing things. Finally, innovation. This means that we must constantly deny ourselves and our past achievements. Only in this way can we make progress and enterprises develop. My summary is eight words: respect, learning, peace and innovation. "
Everyone has an idea, but how to do it is very important. Ideas determine the way out. Conventional thinking can only make enterprises survive and avoid bad luck, while creative thinking can make enterprises obtain long-term development and higher benefits. Innovation is actually not that difficult, as Gao Tianle, chairman of Tianzheng Group, said: "Innovation is actually a change. This change may be a little change, it may be a very small change, but once innovation stops, this enterprise cannot continue to develop. Innovation is also a positive attitude, especially in the shareholding system reform of private enterprises. I used to start my own business, and I had the final say. Now, with the increase of the number of shareholders, the shareholders' meeting will raise all kinds of problems, which must be faced with a positive attitude. In the process of enterprise development, it may be very tired, and quality problems need continuous attention. If you can't bear such pressure, the enterprise will decline. So mentality is very important. In addition, innovation also requires entrepreneurs to keep learning, so that the team has the ability to learn. "
