Dream Chaser——Wang Yaofa
Wang Yaofa, founder/chairman of Mingfeng Building Materials Group
Graduated from Ningbo University in August 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in mechanics. Assigned to Zhenhai Machinery Factory as a technician;
Two months later in the same year, he joined Zhejiang Zhaoshan Building Materials Group Company as deputy technical section chief, mainly responsible for the debugging and installation of cement production equipment;
In March 1997, Cixi Cement Factory was leased with a capital of 700,000 yuan per year, and the profit that year was 1 million yuan; Turn losses into profits;
In August 2000, it merged with the state-owned enterprise Yuyao Zheshui Special Cement Factory and changed its name to Yuyao Zhengxiang Cement Co., Ltd.;
In 2002, Yuyao Zhengxiang Cement Co., Ltd. Xiang Cement Co., Ltd. changed its name to Zhejiang Mingfeng Cement Co., Ltd. and registered the "Mingfeng" trademark. "Mingfeng" means "today's struggle is to climb the peak of tomorrow."
Wang Yaofa has completed the EMBA course and was rated as a senior economist. Faced with such a resume, some people call him a scholar and expert entrepreneur, some people call him a quiet person, and some people call him a wise and foolish person. But Wang Yaofa feels that the title he likes the most is "I am a pursuer." Dreamer".
Dream One: "Magic Powder" Breakthrough
In those years, the country continuously proposed economic development strategies such as "Scientific Outlook on Development"/"Circular Economy"/"Conservation-oriented Society" From this, Wang Yaofa saw the proposition of the times that a company/entrepreneur must face.
In 2004, Wang Yaofa decided to implement a strategic shift and trial-produce mineral powder. According to scientific research, in marine or underground environments, concrete is susceptible to corrosion by chloride ions. The chloride ions react electrochemically with the steel in the concrete, which will corrode the steel bars, cause expansion, and cause the concrete protective layer to peel off, affecting project safety. In severe cases, the concrete will be damaged. The overall destruction of the project caused immeasurable losses to the construction project and lives and property.
Chloride ion erosion of concrete is a worldwide problem. Wang Yaofa's intuition is that the key measure is to develop high-performance mineral powder to blend into high-performance and durable offshore concrete. Wang Yaofa found experts from the Nanjing Academy of Hydraulic Sciences for technical support and a Hangzhou admixture manufacturer as a consultant to start factory-study-research cooperation. Wang Yaofa transformed the 3.2-meter mill of "Mingfeng"... Experiment after experiment, failure again and again, failure again... Countless sunrises and sunsets, finally achieved the birth of high-performance structural concrete admixture in April 2005!
Zhoushan Island Bridge Project/Cao'e River Gate Project/Yongtaiwen Railway... The brand effect is gradually emerging, and the market demand for mineral powder is growing...
Dream No. 2 : Advancing to the West
Faced with the reality that Zhejiang Province is a province with small resources and a large economy, in order to avoid the harsh competition caused by excessive cost squeeze in the cement industry, in the era of "the one who gets the resources wins the world" Inspired by this, Wang Yaofa realized that as an industry that is highly dependent on resources, if it wants to develop sustainably and become bigger and stronger, it must have its own resource base.
The strategic idea of ??"going out of Zhejiang and moving to the west" was quickly formed, so——
In 2005, Hohhot, the capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was the first to seize the opportunity and established the Hohhot Mingfeng Building Materials Industry and Trade Company, targeting Hohhot. With the booming momentum of real estate, the construction of a large-scale concrete mixing station, and the investment was recovered within the first year after completion, can be said to be a victory in the first battle;
In 2006, Baotou, the second largest steel base in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, received a A small factory with an original production capacity of 50,000 tons of cement has invested 35 million yuan to build a production line with an annual output of 900,000 tons of cement grinding powder/400,000 tons of ore powder grinding. It eats waste slag to make ore powder next to the slag mountain in Baotou Steel, turning waste into treasure. , protecting the environment and benefiting local people;
In 2007, it spent nearly 100 million yuan to integrate five production units (Qianxi County Jinxin Mining The company/Jinchang Yuhuang Gold Dressing and Smelting Plant/Jinchang Yuguangyuan Iron Dressing Plant/Qianxi County Sanli Gold Dressing Plant/Qianxi County New Base Mining Co., Ltd.) has become a large-scale smelting company with an annual output of 100,000 tons of refined iron powder. The controlling shareholder of the processing plant;
In 2008, the first new dry process production line in Ningxia Autonomous Region, a 2,500-ton/day clinker line/a large-scale production base with an annual output of 1.2 million tons of high-quality cement, was built on high-grade limestone resources. The base is under construction in full swing in Yanchi County;
In 2009, Ningxia’s second new dry process production line with a 5,000 ton/day clinker line is under preparation...
Dream No. 3:
Where there is a dream, there is hope. His dream is colorful, and the dream continues...
