On July 29th, the sixth edition was held Outstanding individuals in the non-public sector of the economy The Commendation Conference for Builders of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics was held in Beijing, and I was awarded the title of "Outstanding Builder of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics". This award reflects the high attention and earnest expectations of the Party Central Committee for non-public sector economic personnel. It is not only an encouragement for me personally, but also a full recognition of Tianma New Materials' long-term commitment to serving the country through industry and focusing on the localization and substitution of key materials.
As a private entrepreneur who has been rooted in the field of new materials for more than 20 years, I deeply understand that the growth of enterprises cannot be separated from the policy support of the Party and the state, and from the trust and help of all sectors of society. I have always taken it as my responsibility to serve the country through industry, combining personal struggle and enterprise development with national prosperity, national prosperity, and people's happiness. I have led Tianma New Materials to continuously break through in the field of high-end fine alumina and respond to the mission of the times with technological innovation.
1、 Original intention remains unchanged: from researchers to entrepreneurs
In 1991, I graduated from Beijing University of Science and Technology and was assigned to Zhengzhou Light Metal Research Institute to work on the research and development of alumina ceramics and powders. That was an era of 'heavy research and development, light transformation', but I firmly believe that 'technology can only truly serve national development by being transformed into actual productivity'.
In 2000, I made an important decision in my life: to resign from my stable job and establish Henan Tianma New Materials Co., Ltd., to enter the high-end materials industry and embark on the path of industrial service to the country by transforming technology into productivity. At that time, the conditions were harsh, with shortages of technology, funding, and equipment, making entrepreneurship much more difficult than imagined.
2、 Breaking through the game and starting: the choices behind a 'bet style' contract
The year 2001 truly changed the fate of Tianma. At that time, the domestic TV industry was constrained by foreign companies' monopoly on high-end materials such as special alumina, leading to a shortage of key materials and putting the entire industry chain in a difficult situation. After learning the news, I immediately organized research and development to carry out targeted trial production. During that time, I only slept for four to five hours a day, and even stayed in the laboratory all night long. The so-called 'laboratory' is actually just a small house in a rented breeding farm of over ten square meters. The final sample has passed the customer's performance test.
However, qualified samples are only the first To achieve mass production, there are even greater challenges ahead. In the early stages of entrepreneurship, I was penniless and couldn't even afford to buy 2 tons of raw materials. The customer proposed an extremely demanding solution to promote cooperation: a portion of the payment can be prepaid, but if there is a delay in delivery, each delay will be one A penalty of 1% of the total contract amount will be imposed, and if the cathode ray tube is damaged due to quality issues, 30% of the loss amount must be compensated. The contracted amount is only 300000 yuan, but if there is a breach, the compensation amount may reach several million yuan.
Faced with contracts that are almost "gambling" in nature, the family unanimously opposes them. I said to my family, 'Although the conditions are very strict, ultimately it's all technical risks, and technical risks are exactly what I can control.'. What makes me even more determined is the customer's statement: 'You must make this product, otherwise our path to localization will be cut off, and we will have to repeatedly seek supply from Japanese companies.'. At that time, Japanese companies monopolized the supply, with high prices, slow supply, and limited quantities, severely restricting the development of the entire color TV industry.
We must succeed as soon as possible, break the foreign monopoly, and no longer limit the development of the industry! Driven by this belief, we have experimented and adjusted our allocation time and time again Fang finally achieved stable mass production and obtained the national invention patent Benefit. At that time, the import price of this special alumina was as high as 260000 yuan/ton, while the product price supplied by "Tianma" was only 60000 yuan/ton, less than 1/4 of the imported product price. The product had superior performance and quickly replaced imported materials, providing key support for the rise of the domestic TV industry. It also went abroad and was exported to the United States, South Korea and other places.
This difficult victory has made me deeply understand that the core of entrepreneurial spirit is to be brave in challenges, good at innovation, and serve the country and industry with tangible results.
3、 Continuous Innovation: Providing Guarantee for Major National Projects and Core Technologies
Technological innovation is unparalleled Not limited to just one product. In 2002, we successfully developed special alumina for electronic ceramic chip substrates, breaking the monopoly of foreign technology. The products were successfully applied to the chips of the Shenzhou V and Shenzhou VI launchers, and together with China's first astronaut Yang Liwei, witnessed the takeoff of China's aerospace industry. Until now, this product is still independently produced by Tianma New Materials As a result of stable supply, we have been awarded the title of "National, National, and Manufacturing Industry Single Champion and Military Demonstration Enterprise".
In 2004, the company became independent Home Research has developed special alumina for grinding monocrystalline silicon wafers, achieving material localization and significantly improving the overall performance of domestic semiconductor enterprises Competitiveness in the ball industry chain.
In 2008, the enterprise independently developed aluminum oxide for TFT-LCD glass substrates, filling the gap in domestic industry products and providing material support for key projects of the national "863 Program". It successfully promoted the localization of LCD glass and advanced the localization process of LCD displays, resulting in a significant decrease in the price of flat panel displays, benefiting billions of consumers and the country.
In 2015, my team and I actively implemented the national new energy development strategy and successfully developed high-purity alumina for lithium battery ceramic separators, which was applied to new energy power lithium batteries and effectively improved the battery performance Sexuality has contributed to the country's "dual carbon" strategy with great strength.
In 2024, amidst the rapid development of AI computing chips, we will take the lead in HBM Breakthroughs have been made in the use of low - α - ray spherical alumina materials for packaging, and the next step will be to accelerate the mass production process, helping to accelerate the upgrading of China's AI chip industry.
4、 Anchor direction: Build High end alumina industry base
In the future, we will anchor the goal of "building a high-end alumina industry base in the whole country", continuously increase research and development investment, and maintain more than 4% of annual operating income funds for technological innovation. At present, the company has obtained more than 40 related specialties Li has also undertaken multiple national and provincial key research and development projects.
Tianma New Materials has established long-term technical cooperation relationships with higher research institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Zhengzhou University, and has set up research and development platforms such as the "Institute of Process Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences Tianma Functional Materials Research Center" and the "Henan Province Special Alumina Functional Materials Engineering Technology Research Center". In 2025, we will take the lead in establishing the "Zhengzhou Advanced Alumina Materials and Ceramic Membrane Industry Research Institute", jointly with upstream and downstream enterprises to solve technological bottlenecks in the field of ecological environment and practice the concept of green development.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "running a business and undertaking is not just a matter of making a few dollars. It is our duty to focus on the industry without any distractions." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words are like a lighthouse, illuminating our direction of progress and reflecting the true development of Tianma New Materials over the past 25 years.
In the future, we will deeply implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his inspection of Henan, conscientiously implement the work deployment of the Provincial Party Committee's "1 2 4 N" plan, seize the policy opportunities for the development of the new materials industry, continue to increase research and development investment, concentrate on tackling "bottleneck" technologies and key core technologies, continuously develop new products and new performance, continuously expand the application of the company's products in strategic emerging fields, and strive to achieve full success in the high-end fine alumina market To make new and greater contributions to the construction of a trillion level new materials industry highland in the province by replacing domestic production.
5、 Giving Back to Society: The Sentiment and Responsibility of Entrepreneurial Spirit
The value of a company lies not only in creating profits, but also in its responsibility and social responsibility in the development of the industry. Over the past 20 years, Tianma New Materials has not only made new contributions to the development of the industry, but also donated over 10 million yuan to society, actively participating in various public welfare fields such as education, poverty alleviation, disaster relief, and epidemic prevention. During the 2021 Henan flood, we Provide immediate assistance to disaster stricken areas; During the epidemic, the company persisted in stable operation and actively donated money and goods; For many years, we have persisted in providing one-on-one assistance and support to disadvantaged college students; In social recruitment, priority should be given to recruiting retired military personnel. These small actions stem from our unwavering belief that entrepreneurial spirit is not only about technological innovation and market competition, but also about the great love of 'taking from society and using for society'.
6、 Conclusion: To be a builder of the times on the journey of national rejuvenation
Looking back at the 25 year development history of Tianma New Materials, we have always adhered to the original intention of serving the country through industry, focused on the domestic substitution of high-end alumina, and served the national strategy with technology and innovation.
