　　Wang Min, chairman and party secretary of Xugong Group Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., has an obsession with "climbing Mount Everest": from formulating strategies to meeting employees, "climbing Mount Everest" has been his "mantra".

Wang Min said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency a few days ago: “We have reached the top four in the world, entered the'semi-finals', and the next step is to'Mount Everest summit'. It is estimated that by 2035, it will be Huashan Lunjian, and The moment when the world's highest hand is in a showdown." There is expectation in his eyes: "I like this kind of showdown."

　　Walking into XCMG, headquartered in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, is like walking into a large-scale and complete mechanical warehouse. The scene is spectacular.

The world's first 4,000-ton crawler crane, 1,600-ton all-terrain crane, 700-ton mining excavator known as "China's No. 1 Dig"... more than 100 domestically produced first sets of major equipment are produced here.

　　XCMG originated from the Eighth Route Army Lunan Eighth Arsenal and has a history of 77 years.

In the 1960s, New China's first truck crane and first road roller were born here.

After the establishment of XCMG in 1989, it has been the "first place" in China's construction machinery industry for 31 consecutive years. Its current annual revenue exceeds 100 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), ranking it fourth in the global construction machinery industry.

　　"The man at the helm" Wang Min is 66 years old this year.

He joined XCMG at the age of 18 and has worked for 48 years, having experienced the ups and downs of the enterprise.

　　In 1999, the Standing Committee of the Xuzhou Municipal Party Committee studied the bankruptcy of XCMG's subsidiaries for many times.

In 2000, 46-year-old Wang Min became the head of XCMG.

He remembered that when it was the most difficult to take over, someone even made a crooked idea: "Issue B shares quickly, you can get 200 million yuan, and you will disband if you spend it!"

　　Regarding this, Wang Min sneered at this and made drastic reforms, leading the company through the painful period of reform and relief from 2000 to 2003, seizing the golden opportunity of the industry from 2003 to 2012, and overcoming the cliff-like decline of the industry from 2012 to 2016.

With the efforts of all staff, this old state-owned enterprise that was on the verge of bankruptcy was reborn and became a world-class powerhouse in the first camp.

　　The sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic this year has hit the mechanical engineering industry.

Wang Min told a reporter from China News Agency that in the face of the epidemic, XCMG launched the "three major battles" of the anti-epidemic and resumption of work, the battle for resource defense, and the battle for export. , Sales volume achieved a year-on-year increase of more than 30%, setting a historical record.

　　At present, XCMG is on the stage of the world construction machinery industry with a new look.

　　The mixed reform has brought new mechanisms.

In September, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd. signed an equity transfer agreement with three state-owned holding companies for a total of 5.4 billion yuan. Xugong Group Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. signed a total of 15.656 billion yuan with 12 strategic investors and employee shareholding platforms. Capital increase agreement.

This will become China's largest mixed reform order in 2020, and the largest mixed reform order for China's equipment manufacturing industry in the past three years.

　　The mixed reform means that the interests of employees and investors are firmly tied to the destiny of the company's development. This move is regarded by Wang Min as an extremely critical step in "climbing Mount Everest."

"In the past, the reorganization was carried out on the'level ground', but now it is carried out on the'peak'. The difficulty is self-evident. The mixed reform will inject the vitality of the mechanism into the traditional established enterprises. The giant ship's steady and sustainable navigation."

　　New technology provides endurance.

A reporter from China News Agency visited XCMG's digital workshop, intelligent production line, and the assembly process of super large equipment modules.

Here, the giant robotic arms arranged in an array swing up and down, sparks splashing everywhere.

According to the person in charge of the production line, 9 intelligent production lines around the three major components and core components of the crane have been started, and the production capacity will be increased by more than 25%.

　　Facing the rapidly changing and fiercely competitive market environment, Wang Min believes that it is necessary to make "foreign friends", build "Allied Forces", and break the "Wuzhou Road".

　　On the one hand, the epidemic has postponed rather than eliminated demand. As major projects such as the country's new infrastructure are launched, the mechanical engineering industry is facing major opportunities.

On the other hand, no matter how big a company is, it cannot dominate the world. It must join hands with more than 3,000 suppliers and distributors in the upstream and downstream industrial chains around the world to form alliances to advance and retreat together.

　　"On the way to'climbing Everest', there are many obstacles, stumbling blocks, and people going to the steeper dangerous situation of the mid-level road." Wang Min told the China News Agency reporter, frankly speaking, after going through ups and downs, now "climbing the summit" "The goal is clearer and confidence is greater.
