——An Interview with Cui Chongmin, General Manager of Harbin Shengchang Technology Development Co., Ltd.

　　As a well-known enterprise specializing in the production of intelligent series ultrasonic heat meters, Harbin Shengchang Technology Development Co., Ltd. once had a glorious past. Its predecessor was Harbin Qianwei Radio Instrument Factory (State-owned Factory No. 935), one of the former ten major military enterprises, mainly producing aerospace electrical products such as aircraft navigation instruments and submarine navigation instruments. Starting from the conversion of military technology to civilian use, under the leadership of General Manager Cui Chongmin, the company has weathered trials and tribulations in the tide of the market economy, successfully achieved transformational development, and built the "Shengchang" brand step by step into a strong and renowned name. Success does not come easily. During the interview, Cui Chongmin was filled with emotion, yet still full of passion.

　　Developing high-tech products and meeting user needs with high-quality products is the growth path of Shengchang. When speaking of the past journey of exploration in developing and trial-producing new products, Cui Chongmin remembers it vividly and cannot forget it. Through experiment after experiment and improvement bit by bit, after enduring setbacks and failures, facing the predicament of insufficient R&D funding, and being plagued by technical difficulties, good fortune finally arrived and the new product was successfully tested. "At that time, we invested a lot and were under great pressure, and problems kept occurring," Cui Chongmin said. During the initial trial operation of a new heat metering product, because the product's sealing was poor, water in the heating pipes overflowed and sprayed in large quantities under high pressure, causing extensive water accumulation in the first-floor corridor of residents. The company rushed to carry out repairs and worked until late at night, and also had to compensate users for their losses. "That kind of disappointment and discouragement is truly hard to bear." Even under such circumstances, the company did not lose heart and began the next round of technical breakthroughs until the product was perfected and won praise from users, heating companies, and quality inspection departments. Even today, Cui Chongmin still feels deeply about it. He said: "We are the lucky ones in the market. Although we invested a great deal in R&D, we ultimately succeeded."

　　It is precisely this indomitable pioneering spirit, persistent pursuit of the cause, and strict demand for constant improvement of new products, together with keen insight into the advantages of the energy-saving and environmental protection sunrise industry and an accurate grasp of the opportunities in the country's development of the green environmental protection industry, that enabled the company to emerge as the times required, grow continuously, make outstanding contributions to energy conservation and emission reduction, improving energy efficiency, and promoting the transformation of the economic development model, and embark on a development path of successful transformation, invigorating the enterprise through science and technology, giving back to society, and serving humanity.

　　The "Shengchang" series of heat metering products are Cui Chongmin's pride. The company's intelligent new products are ultrasonic heat meters that overturn traditional design and manufacturing concepts, featuring full bore, zero pressure loss, no clogging, and long service life, and are the only product of their kind that can be cleaned. "Some of the technological content in the products can be said to be unprecedented, and the core technologies of some products are protected by national patents. This is the capital that allows us 'Shengchang people' to leave our name in history." Speaking of this, Cui Chongmin showed indescribable excitement. He said this is also the collective crystallization of the hard work of "Shengchang people" over many years.

　　"Gold will shine even if buried in the earth." Precisely because it possesses a high-quality, intelligent series of heat metering products, the company's market share has continued to increase, its market prospects are good, and its reputation has continued to rise. Some customers even come with cash in hand to snap up the products. At present, this series of products has been gradually promoted to 15 provinces and regions in northern China and has also gone abroad, entering the Russian market. Next, the company will launch a second generation of intelligent new products to meet the needs of economic and social development, and look ahead to the performance characteristics of third-generation intelligent products, accelerate upgrading and replacement, use science and technology to drive progress, use products to improve the environment, and promote the continuous development of the national economy. Cui Chongmin said: "We will strive to achieve the company's listing on the Science and Technology Board within four years."

　　A successful enterprise inevitably has its own excellent management culture. Cui Chongmin attributes one of the key elements of the company's successful development to the collective exercise of team spirit. He said that in the Shengchang team, cadres and employees all take pride in being "Shengchang people"; they are united, highly cohesive, strongly responsible, and effective in their work, with unity from top to bottom dedicated to the steady development of the company. To build team spirit, the company regularly organizes dinners and gatherings for cadres and employees to strengthen interaction and communication. The company also has an unwritten rule: every staff member who secures an order must contribute part of the amount as funding for everyone's social activities. The enthusiasm and creativity of the company's cadres and employees have been fully mobilized and applied to their work, forming a collective force that creates benefits for the company and organically unifies the company's development with economic and social development.

　　In the eyes of outsiders, Cui Chongmin, this refined and confident company leader, is undoubtedly a successful man in his career. However, he does not think so. "In my mind, I am always filled with a sense of responsibility and crisis. Facing market competition and future challenges, the company must continue to increase innovation efforts, strive to provide society with better high-quality products, seek benefits for employees, fulfill responsibilities to society, and contribute to energy conservation and emission reduction and the creation of a green and healthy lifestyle," Cui Chongmin said in a calm tone.

　　"As big as your heart is, as big as your stage will be." Regarding Cui Chongmin's aspirations and sentiments, we wish him and Shengchang Company an ever-broadening path in this era that champions low-carbon environmental protection.
