A map of India was opened and the location of Ankhi village in Baruche County, Baroda, Gujarat could not be located.
In March 2015, Baochang Electric took the backbone of the party members as its core to form a team of Baochang Electric Outsourcing employees, set up a camp here, and began the construction of Baotou Electric-Atlanta India Joint Venture (the “India Joint Venture”). As of April 2017, the Indian joint venture company completed the construction of the plant. In early May, it passed the Indian State Grid inspection and acceptance, released all construction guarantee letters, and achieved market orders. The first 750 kV reactor passed the test once. ..
They are brave and they are fighters. They build production sites in India's joint ventures far from the motherland to overcome difficulties, have the courage to play, work together, fight hard, face different cultural differences and local bad natural conditions, and carry forward the principle of preservation of electrical power. He was able to fight and was particularly able to endure hardships, and was particularly dedicated, especially as a 'specialist' spirit. In the face of difficulties, he tried his best to promote the progress of project construction, and he had withstood all kinds of tests. He successfully completed the construction and production tasks and demonstrated Innocent, unrepentant, blood-stainless, heartless Chinese heart.
Party flags fluttering on the project construction site
Construction of the Indian joint venture company in Baruchich County, Gujarat, India. The pre-construction office is located in the city of Baroda. Baroda is a city in the central and western part of India, located in the southeast of Ahmedabad. In the Indian Ocean monsoon climate, one-year rainy season In the rainy season, from June to September, the climate is hot and rainy. The rest of the year is the dry season. The average temperature is above 40°C.
The first batch of people visiting India recalled that the site of the project was desolate, surrounded by weeds, venomous snakes, lizards, mosquitoes, etc.; local malaria was endemic, heavy rains plague; infrastructure was poor, and normal meat supply was 40 kilometers away. The city is looking for, even household necessities such as toilet paper need to drive to the county to buy it. There is also a sectarian conflict in the region.
Difficult problems are inevitably placed in front of the leadership of the joint venture company in India.
At the first meeting of all the expatriates, Assistant General Manager of Baohe Electric, General Manager of Indian Corporation, Zhou Aidong, member of the branch, and Zong Linzheng, deputy secretary of the Party Branch, vowed on behalf of all party members and expatriates: We must complete this successfully. A project with far-reaching strategic significance, with excellent work performance, to the weapons and equipment group, Bao-chang electrical leaders and all staff to make a satisfactory answer.
The members of the Indian joint venture company’s party members took the lead in strictly demanding themselves to fully invest in the construction of the joint venture company and various operations of the joint venture's early stage operations. Zhou Aidong told reporters in an interview that 'since the national system is different, the way of thinking is different, customs and habits are different, and laws and taxes are different. Different, different design standards, different control modes, these differences require us to face in the construction process, to straighten out, to carry out each work need to demonstrate and think, to find specific ways to solve the problem. '
Responsibility is arduous, the pressure is huge, work cautiously, perseverance is the attitude of each participant. Zhou Aidong said: 'We carry out all work in compliance with the law, and every work must be promoted in accordance with legal requirements and superior requirements, and fully guarantee the law. You can rely on the law, you must follow the law, approve the first, perform without bias, and report the problem in a timely manner. Summarize all the work carefully, avoid repeated occurrence of the same problem, and provide reference for similar work in the future.
In the course of its work, the Indian joint venture company exerts the overall wisdom of the team. Through the precise definition of the work priorities in the construction process and the use of structural thinking methods, it earnestly learns the excellent management methods in overseas construction management, breaking the conventional thinking model, and giving full play to the construction team. The role of individuals, timely summing up lessons learned and formulating action plans systematically ensured high quality and efficient advancement of all work. In May 2017, under the strong support of the Ordnance Equipment Group and Baosteel's leadership and related departments, it successfully passed the Indian government. State Grid inspection factory.
Because the project mainly produces 220-765 kV transformers and reactor products, the selection of all equipment and tooling should consider the local demand in India in advance, taking into account the influence of high temperature, power supply, transportation conditions and supporting capabilities, taking into account the company's future development needs. And new product design requirements. Technical director of the joint venture company in India Jianjian Jian as the person in charge of construction equipment selection, overall planning and production process route determination and equipment selection principles, guide professional and technical personnel to determine equipment technical requirements and technical agreement negotiations.
In order to overcome these difficulties, the company organizes party members to carry out research around the clock. Communist Party members, senior engineers Li Shubing and Li Yanwei insist on communicating with Indian technical personnel during the day, telling technical characteristics, and participating in the revision of equipment technical parameters and negotiation of tenders. At night, it was a night battle in the office. Communist Party member, civil engineering engineer Li Jifang was one of the earliest employees to enter the project construction in India. He overcame language barriers and actively communicated with Indian engineering staff. While studying the local language while working, he was able to directly Communication between Indian staff greatly improved work efficiency.
At the temperature of 43 °C in May in Baroda, Gujarat, one technical problem was overcome; in the humble office, a high-quality equipment purchase process plan was formed, and the construction work and equipment procurement and installation work were performed on schedule. , For the time.
In order to ensure that the construction funds do not exceed budgets and give full play to the value of funds, the financial department of the joint venture company has done a lot of management and control from the injection of funds to the payment of funds. Taking into account factors such as high interest rates in India, taxes, changes in interest rates, etc., always grasp the total investment and total Expenses, actual project progress and payment of individual funds, equipment procurement time and capital use efficiency, contract amount and overall company payment balance. At the same time, equipment purchase fund calculation table was prepared to guide equipment purchase price.
The key members of the Indian JV company also actively participated in user visits, expanded sales channels, introduced agency sales mechanisms, and finally enabled some customers to change their qualification requirements. They agreed that the company used the parent company's performance qualifications to participate in bidding, and obtained 10.6 million kVA project participation opportunities. In the case of insufficient qualifications for bids, the contracted products with an output value of 35.2 million yuan will lay the foundation for the production and operation in 2018.
Driven by the team members and the backbone of the party members, with the joint efforts of all-outside-out staff, the project construction of the Indian joint venture company has advanced with high quality and efficiency, and has achieved gratifying results:
At the end of April 2017, all the project construction work was completed. All kinds of production equipments have acceptance conditions.
On May 3, 2017, the State Grid of India dispatched people to accept the factory. At the same time, it proposed the winding machine to increase the protection shed and maintain the positive pressure on the assembly site. They only confirmed the rectification plan within 20 working days.
On May 25, 2017, India State Grid issued a factory approval letter, approving Indian companies to become qualified suppliers of transformers and single-phase reactors of 765kV and below.
As of March 2018, the project of the Indian joint venture company was completed and put into production, saving a total construction cost of 50 million yuan.

Party branch is a warm home for expatriates
Zong Linxuan told reporters, 'Working overseas, safety is the first priority. We always take practical measures to protect the life safety of our expatriates. We must not be able to make the slightest mistake. We must grasp it as a top priority. 'On the one hand, ask Indian partners Strengthen the safeguards, and implement effective security for the project sites under construction and the preparatory group office sites. On the one hand, employees are required to strengthen their security awareness, employees are required to go out to buy necessities, visit the equipment purchase factory, go to the bank, and the taxation department handles official duties. Two people together, the project preparation group mobile phone 24 hours boot, something to get in touch at any time.
It is understood that since the launch of the Indian joint venture company's project in March 2015, Indian companies have held nearly 100 special meetings to inform employees of the local climate, social culture, and so on; Zhou Aidong and Zong Linying talked to each other and eased employees’ thinking. Family emotions; Party members take the lead, complete emergency, difficult, dangerous, heavy tasks; regularly ask about the situation of each expatriate family, and effectively help the family members solve practical difficulties.
The location of the joint venture company in India has poor natural conditions, coupled with eating habits, differences in cultural concepts, and scarcity of supplies. The range of activities of employees is limited to sites, offices and dormitories. The hardships of the environment can be imagined. Brains to relieve employees' nervousness and have fun.
After the office was moved to the scene, there was an unwritten habit of the expatriate employees of the Indian joint venture company: Every morning at 7:00 am, it was the time for the extended family members to get up and running. The team members took the lead and each of them ran three rounds around the station. Start eating breakfast. After dinner at 9:00 pm, everyone has to walk around the station for five laps. The company is also on holiday, organizing employees to play poker, skipping and other cultural and sports activities to enrich the employees' spare time.
To improve your life, you have to do it yourself. Everyone is like a family member. The division of labor and cooperation is the responsibility of everybody in the production of three meals a day. They serve as chefs and help the chefs. Every Sunday, everyone cooks together and makes dumplings. , 擀 擀 擀 擀 其 其 其 其 其.
The party flag fluttered over Indian companies far from the motherland. For more than three years, the party’s cohesion has continued to increase in this particular environment. An expatriate employee wrote in the party application: 'Party and cadre cadres struggle hard. Taking the lead in my life, I was deeply impressed with the subtle education and encouragement in the bits and in the subtleties, which deeply impressed me with the infinite power brought by model and example.'
The backbone of the party and team plays the pioneering role to create 'Chinese speed'
On January 22, 2018, after three months of hard work, the first 765-kilovolt reactor produced by a joint venture of an Indian company passed one test. In the cheers, people waved their blue safety helmets and danced happily.
Zhou Aidong said: 'This is the 'first battle', with tight schedules and heavy tasks. We must also ensure that we are qualified once. We have great pressure. But the production organization is very detailed, it is very hard work, and it is very worthwhile! High-voltage and large-capacity reactors have become the first cooperative project of the Indian company for the National Grid of India. At the same time, it also marks the formal transition from a construction of a joint venture in India to production and operation to the stage of investment recovery.
The leader of the production, the design, has been faltering since the beginning. Due to the difference in design standards and concepts between the two countries, there are many obstacles in the process of design transformation and review of the drawings. Progress is slow. Drawings are domestic designs, materials used and dimensions are With reference to Chinese standards, some materials have different domestic and Indian names and some are not available in India. Instead, they must be replaced with materials of the same performance. This requires verification of all drawing details one by one, sometimes to understand the quality of a material and Performance needs to consult a lot of data, even through experimental verification to use. In addition, Indian standards and Chinese standards are very different, such as the Indian national standard provides that the tolerance range of the pads is a negative tolerance, while the domestic standard is a positive tolerance, if directly in accordance with the drawings In India, the rubber pad produced is qualified according to the Indian standard, but the inspection according to the drawings is unqualified. Hundreds of drawings, tens of thousands of materials, and countless size data require that the drawing conversion personnel be very short 3. A lot of painstaking efforts are taken at the source to ensure that every detail cannot be missed.
Some of India's production supporting manufacturers have incomplete varieties of materials, limited equipment capabilities, and their processing capacity and technological level cannot meet the requirements of our drawings. The most important thing is that some auxiliary materials cannot be purchased in India at all, such as Gujarat's statewide ban on alcohol production. The necessary auxiliary alcohol is needed in various processes and the market cannot buy alcohol at all. White cotton cloth is also an important auxiliary material, but India's white cotton cloth is rare and expensive, and often it can not be bought with money. The need for insulating parts, tools and test equipment, instrumentation and procurement in India is also extremely difficult. It can only be purchased in bulk from the domestic market, and then shipped in unison. Some of the production tools that are needed urgently need to be tested. At the same time, India's electricity supply is in short supply, voltage instability and frequent power outages, which brings great difficulties to production.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of tasks at all time nodes, the production day plan has almost reached the limit. Specifically, how many cakes need several hours, how long it takes to dry, how much fuel is needed, how much material it takes to transport, and how many days it takes to arrive at the plant With these details, the daily work progress and task list are clear at a glance.
Flexible co-ordination, ensure the effective use of minute per minute under the existing resources in the production process. At any time according to the dynamics of the procurement to adjust the organization of production. Which problems are solved, which materials and tools are likely to arrive first, according to the conditions to adjust production at any time, guarantee One minute and one second do not waste a lot of work. Scientific planning, fine management, overall planning and flexible co-ordination of 'two legs' walk, race against the clock to win the initiative.
Speaking of the successful passage of the first product and one-off test, Zong Linying said with emotion: 'The production of the key members of the party members sent by the Baochang Electric Manufacturing Center is a good example! They not only take the lead in the production process but also act as pioneers. , played a role model role, also contributed to the process of the Indian staff 'pass, help, bring'.
Members of the Communist Party, manufacturing manufacturing center coil workshop production backbone Lu Peng, Liu Zheng went to work in India soon, they made a lot of notes and research records, dedicated to teach every apprentice, teaching not only the operation Technology is also a rigorous, serious and responsible work attitude that a 'Made in China' laborer should have. The apprentices they bring out have good skills in operation and are capable of solving practical problems. Workshop production of backbone power.
"In the past, there was only a theoretical understanding of the 'One Belt and One Road' initiative. I was worried and hoped to embark on this land. Although the work was hard, it was very fulfilling. Competent apprentices, thinking that they can do their best for the 'Belt and Road,' will have a full sense of accomplishment!' Lu Peng said.
Communist Party member Guo Gang is the production backbone of the manufacturing center's iron core workshop. He was tasked with supervising the technical integration of Indian iron and steel company employees. Guo Gang said: 'To India's technical guidance, it feels more responsibility on the shoulders, and we must stick to it. Responsible and rigorous work attitude to ensure zero defect in product quality. 'The first difficulty they faced in their work was language communication, but they had their own coups. They usually used common tools, operating techniques and other key words in English. The expressions were recorded and reviewed at any time. With mutual understanding, they quickly mingled with Indian employees and solved the problem of communication difficulties. Indian employees focused on observing and recording every detail of the drawings, each action, and the translators. With the help of the technicians, they quickly digested and mastered the iron core technology and achieved independent operation.
In order to ensure that on December 26, 2017, before the supervision of the State Grid of India, the body welding was completed. The production center communists, production backbone Gao Zhiyong, Gao Xuhe and production backbone Fan Yonglai all abandon the holidays, work during the day more than 10 hours, at night To sort out the work, I dare not drag it to the next day because there is a lot of work to be done tomorrow.
Although very hard, no one slacks and retreats. Under the leadership of the Party members, the backbone of production center assembly plant Zhang Xi and Zhu Zifei are all 80s and assembled on January 4, 2018. They lead their Indian apprentices from It was until 9:30 in the morning at 9 in the morning. At noon, it took only 10 minutes to eat, and then rushed into the workshop to continue the assembly. The Indian employees were rescued by this kind of person who was not afraid of hardship and was not tired. The mental infections of continuous operations were erected. Thumbs up and say 'China ok, Chinese, our role mode.' The Chinese are terrific, the Chinese, our role model.
The expatriate company of the Indian joint venture company and the manufacturing center support the production staff. Under extremely difficult conditions, with strong overall command and process management and control capabilities, and with extremely hard and unremitting efforts, they wrote a business that was difficult to overcome. The history of struggle has won the Indian company’s first high-voltage and large-capacity reactors to be delivered to the State Grid of India as scheduled. It has also polished the brand and proved its strength, laying a solid foundation for India’s joint venture companies to open up the Indian power transmission market. basis.
Dare to play, do not disgrace mission. 3 months, India's Ganges witnessed the miracle of 'China speed', but also witnessed the spirit of change in the 'Belt and Road' on the seal.
