In the process of China-Africa cooperation, Chinese astronauts have also left their own sweat and footprints in the African continent.
In Kenya, there is a young company based on China's aerospace, working diligently in the distant East African land, working quietly and growing step by step.
Once upon a time, they were difficult to explore in this strange country, without experience, lack of talent and legal risks, etc., even the office space started from a private house.
Now, the employees of China Aerospace Science and Aerospace Construction Kenya Company are still busy. Everyone has confidence and pride in their hearts. As Chinese astronauts, they inherit the passion of their fathers and entrepreneurs. As representatives of central enterprises, they are proud to be youthful in the Belt and Road. As a construction company employee, they saw the pure smiles of children in remote areas of Kenya, and deeply appreciate the unique happiness and glory of this profession.
Based in East Africa
Aerospace Construction Kenya was incorporated in Nairobi, Kenya, in August 2016 with a registered capital of US$500,000. It was officially opened in 2017 and has five construction qualifications for housing construction, water conservancy, machinery, electricity and highways issued by the Kenya National Construction Bureau. At present, the company has a total of 20 employees.
After years of development, the Kenyan company started from the power transmission expansion project. The company seized the opportunity to develop and grow, and became a shining point in the international operation of aerospace construction and even China Aerospace Science and Technology.
In recent years, the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative has been enthusiastic in the international response. Under the guidance of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, a number of Chinese central enterprises have rapidly deployed overseas. According to Gao Hongwei, leader of the Aerospace Science and Industry Party, Li Yue’s request for 'going out' work, and internationalization of space construction Based on the domestically-funded resources, the Kenyan company has steadily and steadily, actively expanded its business areas, and increased market development efforts, and achieved good results.
The Kenya Power Transmission Expansion Project is the company's first implementation project and a financing EPC project. This project is one of the flagship projects of the Kenya Electric Power Company's 2030 vision. After the project is completed, the Konza substation will have 6 units of the largest single capacity in Kenya. The 400kV transformer will greatly improve the status of Kenya's national grid, enhance the power supply security and transmission capacity of the power ring network in southwestern Kenya, and escort the people's life and economic development in Kenya.
For the benefit of the people
Recently, the Kenyan government proposed four major livelihood development 'BIG FOUR' programs. The plan focuses on people's livelihood needs, providing more opportunities for economic and social development and for Ken enterprises. In Africa, Kenya is both objective and government policy. Foreign companies, including enterprises, create a good environment, and everyone’s confidence doubles.
Aerospace Construction Kenya Company is actively constructing an industrial platform based on professional contracting such as water conservancy and roads while consolidating electric power construction projects. For half a year, the company has newly signed the Cossack Reservoir and Spring Water Conservation Project, the Kanggongduo Road Project, Still working hard to develop other infrastructure projects.
The Cossack Reservoir and Spring Water Conservation Project is located in Eldoret, West Kenya. The project includes damming, siltation in the reservoir area, water irrigation, spring water protection in the water source area, water supply facilities and water distribution pipelines. Water resources, prevent flood disasters, increase agricultural production, effectively protect local drinking water resources, meet local residents, school water needs, etc.
The Kangungduo Road Project is located in the eastern part of Nairobi. The project involves the construction of a municipal asphalt road with a total length of about 10 kilometers and a width of 15 meters. After the project is completed, it can alleviate the traffic difficulties in the area, improve the efficiency of traffic, and provide convenience for local people. The economic development of the region plays a certain role in promoting.
Although the contract amount of the above projects is not large, the employees of the company really felt the unusual significance of the people's livelihood project at the project site.
Li Guolong is an 80-year project manager from Shaanxi. After coming to Kenya, he was sent to Eldoret for the on-site construction of the Cossack Reservoir project. Eldoret is far from the capital Nairobi, and the traffic is still underdeveloped. In Kenya, going to the project site from the company is just as inconvenient as going from Beijing to Xinjiang.
Although Li Guolong’s living conditions at the scene are very difficult, he is more worried about the rainy season in Kenya. During the heavy rain in East Africa, Li Guolong saw for the first time that dozens of minutes of rain water destroyed the day’s construction results. With continuous improvement and improvement, he and his colleagues can finally advance the construction in the raging rainstorm.
What made Li Guolong unforgettable was a villager next to the dam. He learned that the Chinese construction had to occupy his land, did not make any request, moved the only fish pond, and voluntarily vacated a site for the Chinese to pile up silt. The people are looking forward to the reservoir, and the local children will curiously pull his hand to observe the skin color different from their own.
Li Guolong said that although there are many difficulties in leaving home, he will report to his family and he will not report his worry. Talking about the child, he said that he wants to make an example for the child and he is proud of what he did after he knows what to do.
Jianqiang Fortress
The Kenya company officially established the party branch in September 2017. Since the establishment of the company's party branch, based on the characteristics of the central enterprises, the space genes, exploring the way to carry out overseas party building work, and the company's business development and development, the harvest is quite fruitful.
Under the guidance of the Aerospace Construction Party Committee and the Embassy in Kenya, the company has defined the starting point of the party building work of the Kenyan company: Exploring a set of party building management system that can serve the business and promote business development in the international construction management.
Since the establishment of the branch, this young and small team has gathered wisdom, stimulated vitality, and summed up a set of management ideas that belong to them, making it a bright spot for sustainable development in overseas party building work.
'One, two, three, four, five' are several figures that are often hanged by members of the Kenyan company. They are also frequently mentioned by the Chinese aerospace science and technology general Li Yue at the beginning of August when he came to the company to investigate and participate in the symposium. Numbers. As literally, it seems ordinary, but the meaning behind each number is the most basic management system for party building work:
The first is 'one catching': that is, the party branch unified the annual deployment plan for party building work, and seized the key content of the party building, featured content, real-time content, education and publicity content.
The second is 'two studies': that is, the party branch concentrates on organizing party members and leading cadres to learn the latest political ideas and higher-level policies in a timely manner, ensuring that ideas are guided to practice business development; centrally organize party members and comrades to learn and exchange learning experiences, and ensure that all party members unify their thinking.
The third is the 'three constructions': that is, the party affairs staff establish long-term party knowledge and party building work, establish a database of party building learning and superior guidance policy documents, and establish a collection of customs and laws and regulations for resident countries.
The fourth is 'four have': that is, party members and comrades have individual learning plans, have learning materials, have experience and experience, and have learning records.
The fifth is the 'five knots': that party comrades should always keep a clear head, integrate the party's guiding ideology into the individual, effectively combine their own work, combine real life, combine branch planning, combine with the superior deployment, combine the realities of the host country, and play the good role of the party members. Pioneer exemplary role.
The work and life of resident KEN employees are often inseparable. The scope of activities is narrow, the scope of communication is small, and the amateur life is single. It is this characteristic that is captured. The party branch has established a unique 'night class'.
At 7 o'clock every night, Kenya nightfall, the company's conference room is often brightly lit. An old comrade said: 'Listen to the party class, learn English, look at the red video, the night seems to be very fast, always feel If you haven't learned enough, it will be over. 'The effect of this is the original intention of the branch to establish the 'night class', so that the positive atmosphere becomes the most positive energy adjustment in spare time.
The party committee of the Aerospace Construction organized the party members to participate in the spiritual training of the 19th National Congress in the first half of this year. The overseas party building work has its particularity. Sometimes the objective conditions can not meet the training that everyone can concentrate on. The branch combines the 'night class' and let each party member pass The understanding of the spirit of the 19th National Congress became a lecturer, even teaching party lessons in English.
Going out of the country, employees are no longer just representing the image of the company in the international market, but also representing the image of the country. With the increasing number of resident personnel, in addition to the members of the branch, there are also individual party members from the brothers, engineering management companies to participate in the study. In the 'small family' of the Kenyan company party branch, regardless of each other, the scattered party members are included in the organization, do not miss, do not ignore any party members, and everyone's ideas are highly unified in the target tasks.
The head of the Aerospace Construction Kenya Company said: Coming to Africa means greater challenges and more effort. The company is currently in the start-up period, and the follow-up will still encounter various difficulties and challenges. As an aerospace company, the future company will be Under the opportunity of 'One Belt, One Road', carefully organized, coordinated, with aerospace quality, the aerospace brand deeply cultivated the Kenyan market, and used the high-quality development performance to add color to China's space.
