Xican passion lighting a fire in winter

2008 was a very unusual year for Xichai. In the past year, production and sales exceeded 200,000 units in one fell swoop. From January to September this year, it exceeded the mark of 210,000 units, again setting a new record for the development of Xichai. However, just as the people in Xichei were trying harder and harder, and the Heat was in full swing during the fourth quarter of the year to advance toward higher goals throughout the year, the global economic crisis triggered by the US financial crisis spread to China. Domestic companies were affected to varying degrees. This financial The cold wave of the crisis also made Xichai feel the slightest chill.

In the face of this cold wave, FAW’s Wuxi Diesel Engine Factory promptly reacted and responded immediately. The system was deployed on the Second Party Committee Expansion Meeting of the 15th and the Second Workers’ Congress of 2008, and corresponding countermeasures were proposed. All factory workers are required to establish confidence, unify their thinking, overcome difficulties, and advance with heavy weights. Director Qian Hengrong said soberly: “Winter is coming and it is impossible to avoid it. The key lies in how to spend the winter. There are three ways to choose winter, one is frozen in the cold, the second is hibernation, and the third is tenacious survival. Chai can only choose to survive stubbornly, must increase his sense of urgency, meet new challenges, grasp the overall situation of development, and win new victories.” Cai Zhenfa, secretary of the Party Committee, firmly said, “In the face of the crisis, we must not have the slightest slack, let alone the slightest. For paralyzed patients, we must live in danger and endanger the crisis, work harder and harder, target our goals, work harder and harder, and make every effort to implement them. We will ensure the market with quality, protect the benefits with quality, and take the image of quality trees."

No fear of winter

This year, Xichai's sales were very good. From January to October, engine sales reached 230,000 units, an increase of about 40% year-on-year. The increase was the highest among domestic diesel engine companies. The export growth rate is also very fast. In the first 10 months, the engine export volume increased by 110% year-on-year.

Since October, the growth rate of Xichai has apparently slowed down and the impact of the economic crisis has begun to show. Qian Hengrong said that the impact is first reflected in the decline in the total demand. The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the reduction in domestic engineering construction projects has led to a decrease in the volume of cargo traffic and a significant drop in truck demand. On the other hand, large clients such as logistics companies “cash tight money bags” and discreet spending attitudes that they did not dare to invest easily led to a decline in domestic demand. In this situation, few companies survived.

How to deal with this influence and survive the winter? The manager of Qian Hengrong said that in the face of severe situations, Xichai must do three things: First, it must be calm and calm. Today's Xichai is no longer the same in terms of market, product, financial resources, material resources, and ideological foundation. In particular, through the adjustment of product structure and the accumulation of corporate culture, we have the ability to compete against the economic crisis and the market crisis. The sigh and complaints are not unfounded. In the style of Xi Xie people, panic and helplessness is not the attitude of the Xichai people. We must use the spirit of "learning, innovation, resistance, and self-improvement" to inspire morale, inspire people, work hard, and win the battle! The second is grasping the overall situation and seizing opportunities. What is the overall situation? The central task of the party is the overall situation; what is the opportunity? The key strategy of the country is the opportunity. Although there are many unfavorable factors in the current and next year, there are also many favorable conditions. A series of policies and measures issued by national and local governments will create business opportunities for the development of commercial vehicles. At the same time, each time the market turns from heat to cold, it will inevitably bring about the industry's integration and reshuffling. In the adjustment, there will inevitably be a group of small-scale, low-tech, poor-level enterprises that have been eliminated and the market's territory will be re-divided. This is also our Great opportunity to increase your share. The third is to change strain, quickly in place. In the face of the severe winter in which China’s economic development has come, Xichai has to make full preparations in terms of thought and material, and seek survival and development in the harsh winter. Opportunity always favors those who have preparations. As long as we grasp all aspects of the work, the entire situation will be transformed in favor of us. We will not only survive the harsh winter, but will also win the initiative in 2009.

Passion sparks warm winter

In the face of the financial crisis, Xiu Cai, a party secretary, said firmly that it is necessary to recognize the situation, increase awareness of dangers, awareness of crisis, awareness of self-reliance, and awareness of development and build confidence in overcoming difficulties. At this critical juncture, with more confidence, there is more power to overcome difficulties, more solutions to problems, and more confidence in meeting the challenges. Small development is difficult, it is difficult to develop small, and it is difficult to make it difficult to develop. Only development can win the initiative. Only development can solve the problem. We must fight against the market, struggle with difficulties, fight against ourselves, grasp the market, grasp products, grasp quality, pay attention to efficiency, grasp capital, and grasp management. We must resolve the crisis in progress with the progress we have made.

Second, we must work hard, fight ahead, enhance the advantages of product competitiveness, the advantages of market share, the advantages of quality, the advantages of efficiency, the advantages of the system, to achieve independent product competitiveness and business appearance of the obvious change. Carrying pressure can force people to move forward. Being in danger can motivate people to strive for advanced positions. We must use the spirit of "learning, innovating, fighting, and self-improvement," to provoke the burden of independence, to pinpoint the goal of development, to realize the requirements of the "two reforms," ​​and to truly achieve results. It is necessary to meet the increasing standards of users in accordance with the requirement of "all user needs as the criterion"; strengthen the supervision of quality, enhance the reputation of the market, and increase the core competitiveness of products.

Third, we must give full play to the leading role of party members, condense their efforts, and take the lead in the way forward to develop, crack down on problems, make full use of their independence, be clean and honest, and create benefits for the people. Only by closely integrating economic development with party building and ideological work, and bringing it into line with the development of the factory, the fighting power of Xichai’s workforce will be stronger in order to passionately light a fire in the winter and resist the invasion of cold waves. The pace of development of Xichai can only be accelerated and the goal of sustainable, healthy, stable and rapid development of Xichai can be achieved. Party building and ideological and political work are an inseparable part of Xichai's production and operation, and it is also the advantage of Xichai. Achieving the goals of 2009 depends not only on the work of the market, products, quality, and cost, but also on the stability of the team and the mental outlook of the people. Only by closely integrating economic development with party building and ideological work so that the work of the party organization will always be compatible with the development of the factory, the fighting power of the Xiecha employees will be stronger, and the pace of development of xichai will be faster.

Winter must come spring must come

The cold wave of the financial crisis is as cold as the winter weather, but the enthusiasm of the Xichai people to resist cold waves is high. In the past few days, from factory-level leaders to ordinary employees, from offices to production workshops, the Xichai factory has set off an upsurge of unwavering anti-crisis efforts to go all out to promote development. Between the internal departments of the factory, they encouraged each other, brainstormed, discussed measures and implemented tasks. Outside the plant and all supporting units to strengthen communication and coordination, speed up the transfer of information and improve work efficiency, has won the favor of users.

The sales company specializes in meeting to analyze the market situation, break down sales targets, and implement tasks. Xu Xuefen, deputy director in charge of sales, requested that: First, we must correctly understand the pressures and closely follow the market's "bright spots." Second, we must work hard to boost the market, boost morale, expand sales, and increase the share. Third, we should not relax our goals and fight for the last 30 days. On the last day, we will never withdraw troops.

When winter comes, can spring be far behind? Xi Chai believes that: As long as the employees of the whole factory work together, Xichai will usher in a brighter spring!
