01-12-2019 The People's Daily

Driving on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge can witness its amazing magnificence. A large part of its super strong body is made from high-performance silicate cement from China Resources.


When you get together with your friends and family, it is likely the Snow Beer under China Resources that brings you joy. Its sales have been leading the country for many consecutive years.

 
...


From a small trade name with only a few people when it was founded in 1938, it has developed into a diversified super-large enterprise group that ranks 80th in the world's top 500 enterprises today. For more than 80 years, China Resources has always been passionate about entrepreneurship. "Make good achievements", and continuously create new performance with continuous struggles.

 
"China Resources' personnel "never forget their original intentions and always remember their missions", and always define themselves with struggles. This keeps CR full of energy and competitiveness. Many of CR' business segments started from zero and are at the forefront of the industry step by step." Chairman of China Resources Group Fu Yuning said.

 

Throw off inhibitions and move forward

 
China Resources Gas is now the "leader" of China's urban gas operators. At first, however, it was just a small trivial business segment under China Resources. The key step in achieving leapfrog development was the operation of the Suzhou company.


In 2002, Suzhou High-tech Zone and another gas company had an intention to cooperate with each other. At that time, Wang Chuandong, currently the deputy general manager of China Resources Group and chairman of the board of directors of China Resources Gas, and several colleagues went to Suzhou nearly 20 times in less than a year. Finally, the local company gave sincere China Resources an opportunity to participate in the bidding. China Resources stood out and successfully won the bid.

 
The road to entrepreneurship: living in a small hotel, eating at a roadside stall, and working all the year round has impressed Wang Chuandong and his colleagues. It is with this spirit that China Resources Gas catches up from behind. Its business covers more than 200 cities.

 
This hard-working spirit is also reflected on the staff of CR Land. Vientiane City, located in Luohu, Shenzhen, is the first Vientiane City of CR Land. Nowadays, it has a significant passenger flow, but it was not optimistic at the beginning.

 
"In order to obtain a customer, we searched for the manufacturer based on the label on the clothing tag, and called one by one. It is until the beginning of 2004, less than a year before the business opening, that Vientiane City officially signed its first contract." Employees who participated in the investment promotion work of Luohu Vientiane City that year recalled.


In December 2004, Luohu Vientiane City opened business with success. Up to now, it is still considered a commercial landmark in Shenzhen. For more than 10 years, CR Land has promoted the innovation of Vientiane City to many cities across the country and cultivated multiple brands.

 
"We always adhere to the concept of 'quality gives more changes to the cities'." Deputy president of the board of directors of CR Land Zhang Dawei said. In the first half of this year, CR Land has achieved a total turnover of RMB45.85 billion and the profit attributable to shareholders is RMB12.73 billion, ranking first in the industry.

 
Throw oneself down and work hard to tackle difficulties

 
Many people did not expect that CR Cement, which has made outstanding contributions in many major national projects, started from a small grinding station in Dongguan, Guangdong.


"In the year of entry into production, the sales volume was only 200,000 tons. A loss of RMB100 million was recorded in two years."Liu Guixin, deputy president of CR Cement, recalled, "At that time, in order to open up the market, the trunk of the car was packed with two packs of cement, which were carried around for marketing." With this hard-working spirit, CR Cement took the first step. In 2001, its production and sales exceeded 1 million tons.

 
Relying on its unique resource layout advantages and vertically integrated operation model, CR Cement has developed into the backbone of China's cement industry with the lowest system cost and regional market-leading development strategy, and endeavored to achieve resource saving, become environmentally friendly, and ensure environmental protection.


CR Power also has a legendary experience. The legendary prologue is the Xuzhou Pengcheng Power Plant in Jiangsu.

 
In 1994, Xuzhou China Resources Power Co., Ltd. was established, and began to construct the Pengcheng Power Plant, setting a precedent for "independent construction, management, and operation" of power projects."At that time, the company deployed personnel according to the production process to solve the problems of unsaturated workload and overstaffing, such as working in the turbine shift during the day and working in the boiler shift at night." Jiang Lihui, deputy president of CR Power, recalled that the company's management was so detailed that the workload was designed on a daily basis, and assessment methods were formulated, linking employees' wages to the amount of power generated. With the efficient management, the Pengcheng Power Plant made profit in the year when it was put into operation.

 
CR Power started from the Pengcheng Power Plant, a thermal power plant with only two 300,000-kilowatt units, and gradually developed into a comprehensive energy service provider with an installed capacity of 38,005 MW and a nationwide business coverage. The net profit in the first half of 2019 was up 35.8% year on year.


Roll up our sleeves to work hard and stand out with skillful efforts

 
The Mars Green Beer launched by CR Snow this year has become the highlight of the beer market.

 
This is the first time CR Snow names its beer products by the color of the bottle. The unique packaging and marketing have demonstrated CR Snow's continuous innovation and skillful endeavor quality. In order to make high-quality Mars green glass bottles, CR Snow has screened the major bottle suppliers across the country and tried more than 100 different color formulas in the laboratory.

 
At the end of 1993, China Resources Snow Breweries Co., Ltd. was established. At that time, China's beer market showed typical regional market characteristics. CR Snow made full use of the power of the capital market, acquired the largest beer brands in many regions, then unified the brands as "Snow Beer" and launched it to the market. In 2006, CR Snow became the largest beer enterprise in terms of domestic sales, later won the title of the world's top one single product sales, and has continuously won such title to this day.

 
China Resources' personnel are willing to work hard with skillful efforts. This quality is also fully reflected in CR Pharma. "Sanjiu", "Dong E E Jiao", "Double-Crane", "Jiangzhong" and "Zizhu" which are well-known brands in the pharmaceutical field are owned by CR Pharma, and these business segments were mainly acquired by China Resources through mergers and acquisitions.

 
From investing in Yunnan Baiyao Group and Dong E E Jiao Group, integrating Sanjiu Group in debt crisis, to integrating Beijing Pharmaceutical Group, CR Pharma has made the impossible things in the eyes of others become possible and has grown stronger and stronger. In the first half of 2019, CR Pharma's overall revenue increased by 8.7% on a year-on-year basis.

 
Take a step and take responsibility.

 
"There is no real garbage but resources put in the wrong places."The practice of the Changshu Power Plant under CR Power has written the best footnote for this sentence.

 
In order to lift the sludge siege, the local government found CR Power and hoped that CR Power would provide support.CR Power responded quickly, and analyzed the technology, processes, environmental protection requirements and sludge properties of sludge coupling power generation. In June 2018, the sludge coupling power generation project of the Changshu Power Plant was formally put into operation. The project now processes 600 tons of sludge per day, with an actual disposal capacity of 900 tons per day, and an annual sludge disposal capacity of 200,000 to 300,000 tons.

 
CR Power's practice in Changshu is a microcosm of China Resources' long-term practice of the concept of green development. In 2018, China Resources Group invested a total of RMB2.35 billion in environmental protection.

 
"China Resources has given us a lot of support and made huge changes here. I should also give play to my strength and lead the folks to live a better life." Tian Qiuxiang is a typical example of returning home in China Resources Baise Hope Town for a business start-up. She has been leading the folks to becoming rich.

 

Tian Qiuxiang still remembers the scene when she first walked into Yongle Township, Baise, Guangxi in 2001. "At that time, the road was full of mud. I could not take a second step with my high-heeled shoes."After the marriage, Tian Qiuxiang went to Shenzhen to work with her husband for seven years. In 2008, the message that China Resources helps build Baise Hope Town in her hometown was released. Tian Qiuxiang gave up odd jobs at a decoration company in Shenzhen and returned to her hometown to start her entrepreneurial road ...

 
"The creation of the China Resources Hope Town is a useful exploration and attempt by China Resources by using enterprise resources to help overcome poverty and promote rural rejuvenation." Lan Yi, secretary general and director of the general office of China Resources Group, introduced that over the past 10 years, China Resources had invested RMB640 million in the building of 12 hope towns across the country.

 
...


Wang Xiangming, general manager of China Resources Group, said: "China Resources will firmly grasp the requirements for high-quality development, maintain an unswerving mentality and a persistent attitude of struggles, provide high-quality products and services, and contribute to better meet the needs of the people for living a beautiful life."Endeavoring China Resources is worth expectation.
