Before 1964, most tire manufacturing enterprises in China were built in coastal cities. With the improvement of national economy, the problem of unreasonable layout of rubber industry has become increasingly prominent. In order to speed up the construction of the rear area, the state decided to build a tire factory in Henan during the third five-year plan period. 19641June14th, the former Ministry of Chemical Industry officially located in Jiaozuo, which is located in Taihang Mountain area and is a new industrial city.
March 1965, 1 1, led by Di Yongkui, director of Hualin Rubber Factory, and Huang Jiayou, Feng Hetong, Hong Jiesheng and Zhou Yingzhi formed a preparatory group to go to Beijing to discuss the preparation of Henan Tire Factory. This is the earliest original construction team of Henan Tire Factory. After that, Director Di came to Jiaozuo with the first batch of "pioneers".
1March, 965, the staff of the preparatory office of Henan Tire Factory took a group photo.
Di Yongkui was born in 1928. At the age of 23, he became the technical deputy director of Hualin Rubber Factory and later the director. He was only 37 years old when he came to Henan. The young people he brought to the Central Plains were all around 20 years old, and the older ones were only in their early 30s. These warm-blooded young people from Northeast China all have a dream: to build the best tire factory in New China.
When the factory is set up, the task is heavy and there are few people. Di Yongkui and his team asked party member cadres, especially leading cadres, to take the lead in manual labor. They build special railway lines, set up power lines, transport sand and gravel, repair dormitories, plant trees and do dirty work. Peng Zhen, the old man at the beginning of the factory and the former chief engineer of Henan Tire Factory, recalled: "At that time, the engineers of the technical department attended the equipment ordering meeting, and the technicians went out to run materials, went through the land purchase procedures and worked as aunts in the nursery. This is very common. That's what we thought at the time. We did what the party asked us to do and promised to finish the task.
The first big problem is the construction of special railway lines. It is difficult to build a 2.5-kilometer railway line in a short time! Take the job of soaking white stubble sleepers with asphalt. Asking others to do it not only costs more money, but also can't guarantee the construction period. Therefore, the preparatory headquarters handed this task to "land reclamation". Everyone is fighting for the construction period day and night. Because the welding time is too long, many people's eyes are burned by arc light and swollen like peaches, but no one gets off the line of fire. After the preliminary work was completed, we began to soak the sleepers. According to Zhang Taichao (later director of Luoyang Rubber Factory), "We put the asphalt on the fire, then tie the sleepers into bundles with steel wires, soak them in hot asphalt and take them out. Everyone covers the trouser legs and waistline with plastic sheets to prevent splashing. In this way, it was done for more than a month ... "1March, 966, the first locomotive honked and ran smoothly on the special railway line of Henan Tire Factory. This railway line has been in use ever since.
Unfortunately, the factory began to build and the "Cultural Revolution" began. Some equipment cannot be delivered on time. At that time, the production conditions of the first and second workshops were initially formed, and the vulcanization process was poor. However, if the vulcanizing machine was installed before production, it would take at least three years. Therefore, the preparatory headquarters made a bold decision-using vulcanizing tanks instead of vulcanizing machines and adopting "indigenous production" (using artificial screws instead of high pressure).
1968 65438+February 26th, it was winter, but the vulcanization workshop of Henan Tire Factory was steaming inside and outside. Factory workers, family members, city leaders, leaders of the Second Institute of Chemical Engineering ... people surrounded the whole workshop. 14 o'clock sharp, Zhang Deyi, the monitor on duty, loudly announced: "Out of the pot!" . Since then, the first automobile tire was born in Henan Province and the Central Plains. Suddenly, applause thundered in the workshop.
The "localized production" was successful, and the bumpy Henan Tire Factory took the first step. However, the next road is not smooth. Ten years of catastrophe left Henan tire factory scarred.
Di Yongkui was labeled as a counter-revolutionary. He was criticized during the day and cleaned factories and toilets at night. Like his fate, Zhang Runde, deputy head of the preparatory group, was also labeled as a "traitor". Although Zhang Runde's wife Wang Guie was not criticized, she was assigned the dirtiest and most tiring jobs: cleaning factories, cleaning toilets and pulling carts. When the reporter interviewed the 82-year-old man, she smiled kindly: "I thought that all difficulties should be overcome in order to build a tire factory!" "
Later, Wang Guie was rehabilitated and devoted to the construction of the tire factory; Zhang Runde later became the deputy director of Henan Tire Factory; Di Yongkui was transferred to the factory director during the construction of Dongfeng Tire Factory.
1969 65438+February 3 1, Henan tire factory was finally completed and put into operation.
1in the spring of 980, the output of No.2 automobile increased, and the original fixed-point tire matching factory could not meet the demand. At this time, Shen Yonggang volunteered to come to the door. At that time, a director of the equipment department of the Second Automobile Company said, "We need 7? Gemstone beads? Tires, you produce six? Jealous of v? It's been three months, you haven't got mildew yet, it's too late! " In desperation, the think tank in the factory came up with a unique trick: vulcanizing a smooth tire and carving patterns with an electrician's knife. After four days and four nights of fighting, after carving more than 200 patterns, the first qualified test tire came out. Then, 7? Gemstone beads? Tires are put into mass production. In that year, Henan Tire Factory provided 1.5 million sets of tires to No.2 Automobile. After that, Henan Tire Factory accepted the order of "12-grade to 10-grade" tires that domestic tire enterprises were unwilling or unable to produce, and also developed tube tread tires, which solved the anti-skid problem of Dongfeng brand cars. Finally, the Second Automobile Company decided that Henan Tire Factory was its "lifelong companion". Since then, the order volume of No.2 car has increased year by year.
1May, 1986 15, Henan Tire Factory built the first domestic giant tire production line with an annual output of 1500, making China the fifth country to produce giant tires in the world.
1997 10, Henan tire factory entered the top 50 tires in the world.
199865438+In February, Henan Tire Group Co., Ltd., China Shenma Group Co., Ltd. and Yugang (Henan) Development Co., Ltd. jointly initiated the establishment of Henan Tire Co., Ltd.; In March 2003, the company was renamed Fengshen Tire Co., Ltd. Around the new century, the company name changed rapidly, and employees tasted all kinds of flavors: panic, fear, expectation and joy.
In May, 2005, Fengshen grabbed the shuttle bus of the second batch of pilot enterprises of share-trading reform. In August of the same year, Fengshen successfully completed the share-trading reform and became the first listed company in Henan Province to complete this work. In 2008, the company actively communicated with the CSRC, intermediaries and investors when the stock market continued to slump and many companies gave up issuing shares. After a lot of efforts, the company successfully completed the stock issue on June 5438+February, and raised 603 million yuan for product structure adjustment and accelerated project construction, accounting for 70% of the annual refinancing amount in Henan Province.
