Zhang's prosperity and hope

Han Yanqing, director of the office of Aluminum Company, is a veteran of Wang Xin Group. He has been working since the group began to prepare for the construction. He and his friends erected telephone poles in the factory, and some wires were erected by himself. He witnessed the development and prosperity of Wangxin Group and the current predicament.

When it comes to the development and changes of groups and villages on the Phoenix Mountain, local people will naturally talk about Zhang. A farmer entrepreneur, relying on his personal foresight, managed to "plant" a big enterprise on a piece of land where wheat and corn were originally planted.

Zhang's personal situation can only be described in a few simple words: Zhang,1born in March 1953, with a high school education, an economist, and party member, the Communist Party of China. He was selected as 20 members of CCTV, outstanding factory director of Henan Province, model worker of Henan Province, outstanding party member of Henan Province, representative of the Seventh Party Congress of Henan Province, and representative of Zhengzhou Municipal People's Congress. Over the years, gongyi city has been rated as an outstanding entrepreneur, a star entrepreneur in gongyi city, and a hero of prospering the city through science and technology ... According to the field survey of famous businessmen, at the beginning of reform and opening up, young Zhang seized the opportunity and was not afraid of hardship, starting from knitting sweaters, drying brick factories and making linoleum, becoming the first ten thousand yuan household in the village. 1985, he took out his accumulated RMB 654.38+million and raised RMB 4.76 million in the form of horizontal joint venture to build a graphite electrode production line, which filled the gap in Henan Province at that time.

1992, Zhang raised 8,865,438+million yuan in the form of joint-stock cooperation, with a total investment of 3 10/00,000 yuan, and built the first large-scale aluminum factory in China with farmers as the main investment, and initiated farmers to enter the field of non-ferrous metals. In the eyes of group employees, Zhang is a legendary figure. 1992, the aluminum plant construction reached a critical juncture, the state macro-control, banks have withdrawn their funds, and builders followed him to ask for accounts. At that time, Wang Xin Group began to build a 20,000-ton self-baking trough production line for the first phase of electrolytic aluminum project. At the most difficult time, only 2,000 yuan was left in the group's account. In desperation, Zhang ran to Beijing and asked China Nonferrous Metals Corporation for help. After hitting the wall several times, he hosted a banquet for the secretary of the general manager at noon, drank a catty of white wine in one breath, knelt in front of the female secretary, and told the hardships of starting a business with tears in his eyes. The secretary finally promised to let him see the general manager. When meeting with the general manager Fang Dacheng, Zhang said: I am a farmer in Gongyi, Henan. I built an electrolytic aluminum plant with an annual output of 1.8 million tons. At present, the construction has encountered difficulties. Please give me your advice. When Fang Dacheng heard that farmers built aluminum plants, he was very impressed and finally gave100000 yuan support.

From 65438 to 0997, Wangxin Group introduced 50 million US dollars from Samsung, Noble and Glencore in the form of compensation trade to start the second phase of electrolytic aluminum project, making Hexiaoli Village the first aluminum village in China. From 65438 to 0998, Wang Xin Group complied with the establishment of modern enterprise system and completed the transformation of private shareholding system, becoming the largest private enterprise group in Henan. Also in this year, Zhang, together with Zhang Ruimin and Wu Jinglian, was selected as one of the "Twenty People in China in the Twenty Years of Reform and Opening-up" and was elected as a deputy to the provincial people's congress and a provincial model worker.

2003 was a watershed for He Zhang. Now, Wangxin Group, which covers an area of 1000 mu, has pinned its hopes on a new project-building a power plant.

The power plant proposal comes from 200 1. In that year, they attracted 50 million yuan from the west to establish a joint venture with Tibet Lu Hong Investment Holding Co., Ltd., and established the Gongyi branch of Tibet Tianyu Bofeng Technology Co., Ltd. in Wangxin, forming an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons of anode carbon blocks. However, at the end of 2003, due to the survival of aluminum industry at the bottom of the valley, Tianyu Bofeng Company, a chain enterprise, was hit. It stopped production for more than a year, with more than 80 million yuan of assets idle and hundreds of employees unemployed. Zhang has been traveling in Beijing for the past two years. I don't know how many times. The State Council, National Development and Reform Commission, State Environmental Protection Administration, land, water quality and other units have left his footprints. "In order to get the approval of the state, Mr. Zhang said that he had taken off three layers of skin." Li Xingwei was filled with emotion. "This time, Henan reported more than 40, and only 4 were approved. In fact, the company took a shortcut, because the country no longer allows the development of small power plants, so we cooperated with Tibet to build an aid project and finally approved it. "

Before long, the power plant will continue to start construction, and the first unit will generate electricity on June 1 2006; On May 1 day, 2007, Unit 2 generated electricity. "Mainly for my own use, I want to take it out to the power grid. When the power plant is put into production, our days will be better. " Li Xingwei said.
