　　Reform and innovation work together

　　"The east wind can achieve these achievements without the rapid development of China's economic and social environment." But zhu fushou, the general manager of dongfeng motor company and deputy party secretary of the party committee, believes that the more crucial reason is that "the east wind dares to reform and innovate."

　　Looking back on the entrepreneurial and development history of dongfeng in the past, dongfeng has divided it into four different stages.

　　The first stage was the hard work period (1969-1980). When people all over the country gathered in shiyan town in the northwest, rely on one shoulder, independent design, in the mountains built opposite a factory, finally realized "dongfeng" 2.5 tons, 2.5 tons of suvs and put into production.

　　The second stage was rapid growth (1981-1993). Despite the domestic economic and environmental constraints, the automobile market has a situation of stagflation, but the enterprise actively responded, in 1981, it sold 39,028 vehicles and 1525 bulk cars, and realized profits of 1.267.7 billion yuan. In the same period, the technical center was also established, which formed a new pattern of "big concentration and small dispersion".

　　The third stage is the period of adjustment (1994-2000). Because in the truck field, the product did not follow the market transformation and upgrade in time; In the car sector, the two sides of the shenlong company are still in a difficult situation, and dongfeng once faced the difficulty of getting paid. However, when it comes to poverty, the east wind has made bold reforms to build a new three-tiered corporate governance system, starting from managing a factory to managing a company.

　　The fourth stage is open cooperation period (2001-2012). Despite all the questions and objections, the progressive reform of dongfeng has not stopped. In June 2003, dongfeng and nissan succeeded in their marriage, setting up dongfeng motor co., the largest joint venture to date. On September 28, dongfeng motor company headquarters moved to wuhan city, laying a solid foundation for the company to implement group management more effectively and seek greater development. During this period, dongfeng Honda, kia motors corp., South Korea, joint venture with Japan also upgraded the relationship with the PSA, and listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange main board, provides the internationalization of finance and development platform for the company.

　　"Now we are in a period of coordinated development." "But in any period, reform and innovation has always been a common thread in the development of dongfeng," zhu said. It is through reform and innovation that dongfeng can create many "pioneers" in the country. Dongfeng is the first in the country to implement the system of "double quan", namely, the comprehensive technical and economic benefits contract responsibility system based on total quality management; Take the lead in the implementation of the "three comprehensive" stratification contract responsibility system based on total quality management and comprehensive technical progress as the core, with comprehensive economic benefits as the target; First to implement the "factory manager responsibility system"; It is the first to establish three institutional reforms that "regulate the institutional investment decision, the function of asset management and the separation of production and operation functions".

　　It is through reform and innovation that the east wind can constantly refresh the "east wind speed". On October 16, at the dragon foundation stone laying ceremony of the fourth factory, if the vice mayor of chengdu is li said, "this project with a total investment of 12.3 billion yuan, from the two sides signed a cooperation agreement to ground-breaking, only took 3 months time, fully embodies the high efficiency of dongfeng automobile company."

　　It is through reform and innovation that dongfeng can be transformed from an old state-owned enterprise into a "new state enterprise". In order to realize the value of state-owned assets, dongfeng has improved its property structure through various means. At present, the state-owned assets accounted for 45.2%, dongfeng company public assets accounted for 19.9%, foreign investment accounted for 31.8%, other assets accounted for 3.1%, become a there are both state capital and private capital, there are both overseas capital and social capital of mixed ownership enterprises.

　　Head for the dream

　　The east wind may not be the same in everyone's mind, but the excitement of the east wind is common.

　　In the prototype of the dongfeng technology center, an SUV has aroused the interest of journalists. "This is our AX7, the first SUV of the dongfeng fengshen brand." Technical center of dongfeng automobile company electronic rinou intelligent information technology department of n.syed, according to the model not only equipped with high resolution of 9 inch touch screen, and with the east WIND LINK of independent research and development.

　　Learned, dongfeng motor corporation technology center each year through electronic intelligence concept prototype project carry industry cutting-edge technology, according to the passenger vehicle development process for loading and validation, finally through the user experience research and trial driving, research new technology will be accepted by the user. Not only that, dongfeng also incorporated autonomous driving technology into the pre-research program, which has now entered the second phase of adaptive cruise using high-precision radar technology.

　　In the new energy vehicle sector, dongfeng is very low-key. "But low profile does not mean inaction. We just want to make the product solid and solid." Dongfeng company director of new energy automotive business platform Huang Zhaoqin told reporters that as early as in 1997, dongfeng company began to develop new energy vehicle technology, mainly is the pure electric minibuses, fuel cell minibuses and pure electric cars. In 2001, dongfeng specialized in the establishment of the first electric car company in the automotive industry, and has developed E30, a60-ev, s30-phev and other models.

　　In the face of growing competition in the market and the development of global automobile products, such as intellectualization, environmental protection and personalization, dongfeng motor is also speeding up its innovation to seize the commanding heights of the industry. But like all car companies, the challenge of the east wind was everywhere, with the third wave of the industrial revolution taking its toll. But zhu admitted that dongfeng is not afraid of the challenge and is more actively responding to the change with an open mind, "because dongfeng is a company with a dream."

　　What is the dream of dongfeng? "The earliest is to build a good car, an industrial newspaper." Zhu Fushou explained. "the new leading comrades of the CPC central committee and put forward the Chinese dream, now for dongfeng, is to realize" three wind ", one is the sustainable development of dongfeng one hundred, 2 it is geared to the needs of the internationalization of the world of dongfeng, three is the independent development of the east wind in the open."

　　"The wind and the waves will sometimes hang in the sea." Today's dongfeng, like its headquarters in wuhan, is racing toward its dream with an aircraft-like confidence.
