Central and South Diamonds

When it comes to Zhongnan Diamond Co., Ltd., people think of its outstanding position in the super-hard materials industry, glamorous and brilliant performance; Zhongnan Diamond Co., Ltd., which is surrounded by mountains and trees, is also seen by people. Glittering gold signboard. From a workshop with three small presses to a joint-stock company with nearly 3,000 large presses, two holding subsidiaries and a third-tier subsidiary, it can produce only a few hundred carats of low-end products to an annual output of 5 billion. Carat's high-quality ability breakthrough, from less than 10,000 yuan in sales revenue to a total output value of more than 1.5 billion yuan, from the brink of bankruptcy to a world-class industrial diamond production company with total assets of 2.4 billion. The leap-forward development writes the legend of the industry and describes the extraordinary history of the South Central Diamond.

Jedi Rebirth Difficult Entrepreneurial History

Zhongnan Company was once a key military enterprise during the “6th Five-Year Plan” period and was affiliated to China Ordnance Group Corporation. Since 1989, the state has adjusted its national defense strategy, and its production tasks have been seriously inadequate, and it has begun to convert civilian products. In the past, the military industry enterprise was the iron rice bowl. The production plan was issued by the state, and the products were all purchased by the state. In this case, I touched the stone across the river and successively went through the costume processing, fireworks, hydraulic cylinders and other projects, and the results ended in failure. In the most difficult time, the enterprises ranked second in the overall economic benefit of 157 enterprises of China Ordnance Industry Group. Nearly half of the employees of the company left the factory to seek employment, and the workers left behind had to cultivate their own land to produce self-help.

In order to get rid of the difficulties as soon as possible, in 1993, the South-South factory began to use synthetic diamond production as a breakthrough, and began their difficult road to entrepreneurship. According to reports, diamonds were produced at the time to supply diamond saw blades for marble workshops. At that time, the price of diamonds was very high and the cost of outsourcing was relatively large. Therefore, the purchase of three small presses began to produce diamonds, just to be self-sufficient. However, due to backward technology, unstable process, high equipment failure rate, low annual output, high hammer consumption and other factors, the time is stopped and the production is less than four months a year. As of the end of 1997, the company had just reached 50 small presses in 4 years, and it was only a small tonnage press.

In 1998, Jia Pan, the then director of the Central South Factory, led the leadership team at that time, cut off several products that were being explored at the time, and studied the diamond products with great rigor. Concentrate, clench your fists and concentrate on diamonds. It played a decisive role in the development of “specialization and scale” of Zhongnan Company.

Research and development, equipment manufacturing achievements continue to emerge

Before 2000, although the domestic diamond market was fiercely competitive, it was mainly low-level competition. Foreign synthetic diamond adopts powder catalyst method, Chinese enterprises adopt traditional chip catalyst technology, resulting in poor quality, low output and high cost. High-end product synthesis technology and market share have long been used by GE and UK DB companies. monopoly. The company’s primary technical task at the time was to break through the “powder catalyst process”. After scientific research personnel devoted themselves to research and after numerous failures, in 2001, the powder catalyst synthesis core column manufacturing technology was successfully tested. This key technological breakthrough has set a milestone in the history of diamond synthesis in China. Not only the product output and quality are greatly improved, but the cost is only 1/3 of that of similar foreign products, and it has complete independent intellectual property rights and is not affected or restricted by any foreign organization. It is the first to push the technology of powder catalyst to synthesize high-grade diamonds into industrialization. Not only has the product output and quality been greatly improved, the cost has dropped drastically, and it has completely independent intellectual property rights, which has laid the company's technological innovation leader in the same industry in China. Status.

At that time, the foreign production of diamonds used two-face top equipment, the single-synthesis output was large, and the average output was about 1,000 carats, which was expensive. Due to cost and technical pressure, the domestic use of six-face top equipment is characterized by small investment, low output, and average output of only a few dozen carats. In the words of Jia Zong, “the current six-face press equipment produces larger particles. Industrial diamonds don’t even think about it." However, after the successful breakthrough of powder catalyst technology, the scientific and technical personnel also played the idea of ​​a six-sided top press.

So began to specialize in the upgrade of the six-sided top press, increase the synthesis cavity, and rationally control the mixing and synthesis time. Hard work pays off, finally realized that the synthetic equipment and control system are all developed and manufactured independently. The pressure and pressure field of diamond growth are more stable under the pressure of six sides, and the cost of diamond produced is higher, and the synthesis technology is synchronized with the carrier technology. Advance, complement each other. For more than 20 years, the most memorable memory of the Central South is the back of the project team's hands-on and in-depth workshop production; it is the persistence of the project team members regardless of the severe cold and the heat of day and night; it is the demonstration and experiment of the project. A scenario for the study and analysis of a set of group data. In 2003, “Nano-diamonds made seed crystals to synthesize coarse-grained high-grade diamond technology” made a breakthrough, and the company's synthesis technology has reached a new level, reaching 40/50 with coarse diamond production accounting for 65%, high-grade diamond. More than 30%. In 2010, the development of the “φ45mm high-grade diamond polycrystalline composite sheet” project made a breakthrough and filled the domestic gap. The successful development of the "16/20 Large Granule Industrial Diamond Project" has completely changed the bottleneck of domestic large-particle industrial diamonds, and has driven the development of related industries such as domestic diamond tools and ultra-precision processing.

Zhongnan Diamond has gradually entered the international market with great advantages in cost and price. It has broken the monopoly position of developed countries on high-grade synthetic diamond products, forcing international famous companies to withdraw from the market competition of diamond single crystals. In the face of huge cost pressures, even the world's first industrial diamond company DB to explore the success of China's six-sided top technology, in China's Suzhou Industrial Park to buy domestic equipment and domestic raw materials for production trials, showing Chinese characteristics Great vitality.

At present, the company mainly uses Φ550 and Φ650 large-tonnage presses, all of which are designed and manufactured by the company. Independent research and development of automatic control system, synthetic pressure, combined current can be set according to the process curve, using the frequency converter for dynamic pressure compensation, real-time control of synthetic power, heating system power factor compensation technology, dynamic pressure compensation technology, variation rate control technology, High-pressure cylinder warning technology. From the original one-person dual-machine to one-person eight-machine operation control, the labor cost is greatly reduced, and the intelligent level of equipment is improved.

After more than ten years of accumulation, Zhongnan Diamond has achieved fruitful results and has formed a core competitive advantage with complete independent intellectual property rights and difficulty in copying. It has become the industry standard, industry planner and industry price maker. Zhongnan Diamond has represented the development of Chinese diamond. trend. Step by step and solidly cross the ranks of international companies, the general trend of the world's superhard material production shift to China has been formed. Up to now, more than 60 technology and device designs of the company have obtained national invention and utility model patents, including "electrolytic purification diamond process", "superhard material synthesis press integrated valve plate type hydraulic station", "electrolytic purification diamond process" Method", "Synthesis method of coarse-grained cubic boron nitride", "Synthesis method of cubic boron nitride", "Measurement method of movable liquid cylinder stroke of synthetic diamond synthetic press", "A synthetic diamond impact toughness More than 10 invention patents and artificial diamond packaging, such as "detection method", "lined tube forming device and molding method for superhard material synthesis", "synthetic diamond electrolytic anode bag cleaning method", "a cubic boron nitride purification method" Two design patents such as bottles. The product quality system has passed ISO9001 international certification, and the environmental system has passed ISO14001 international certification.

The concept of “Leading Technology, Innovative Future” has been integrated into the blood of Zhongnan Company. Supported by R&D expenditures, which account for more than 4% of annual sales revenue, Zhongnan Diamonds is rushing forward with the momentum of flying down. The production and sales of super-hard materials ranks first in the world, and it has become a banner for the development of civilian products in the weapons group. It has created an internationally competitive enterprise for the weapons group and made important contributions to the economic and social rise of the Central Plains. “National High-tech Enterprise”, “National Enterprise Technology Center”, Group Company’s advanced technology development team, China’s famous brand products, 50 high-growth high-tech enterprises in Henan Province, local large-scale taxpayers, etc. Return. The creation of these miracles and achievements interprets the history of the development of diamond technology in Central and South China, and at the same time shows the brilliant and splendid future of Zhongnan Diamond.

Actively build an innovation platform to provide favorable conditions for technological innovation

Focus on innovation system and innovation environment construction. All along, the company pays special attention to the innovation system and the construction of innovative environment, making innovation an inexhaustible development force, providing good conditions for technological innovation research and development, technological innovation services, and technology venture capital investment. As early as 2000, the introduction of talents established an enterprise technology center in Zhengzhou, mainly engaged in the research and development of super-hard materials manufacturing and related technologies; in 2002, the technology center was upgraded to a provincial-level enterprise technology center; in November 2004, China Ordnance Industry Group Co., Ltd. Approved, the company's company-level superhard materials R&D center was established in the company headquarters. The former Zhengzhou Technology Center became a branch of the enterprise R&D center; in October 2008, the company's technology center was recognized as a “national enterprise technology center”. In 2009, the company's technology center was named "Diamond and Products Engineering Technology Research Center". So far, the company's technical center has more than 300 employees, including more than 200 technicians and 24 senior researchers. In addition, the company continuously recruits graduates from undergraduate and above to work in the technical center every year, so that the center is full of vitality.

Initiate resources for attracting talents and strengthen cooperation between industry, universities and research institutes. In order to better enhance the ability of technological innovation, the company launched the intellectual resources. In 2001, the company introduced talents in Shenzhen to establish a joint venture company, researched powder catalyst technology and achieved breakthroughs, thus achieving technological advantages in the industry. In order to strengthen the cooperation between industry, academia and research, it has established strategic partnerships with many universities and research institutions such as Zhengzhou Sanmao, Jilin University, Wuhan University, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, etc., which has significantly enhanced the company's research and innovation capabilities and means.

Establish an effective talent incentive mechanism. In order to better play the talent and intellectual resources, the company carried out an equity incentive attempt, implemented the key talent incentive policy, set the total amount of incentive shares, and implemented the three methods of cash purchase of equity, factor conversion of dividends, and bonus share. Therefore, the enthusiasm of various key personnel is fully mobilized. Exploring an effective way to participate in the distribution of management, technology, skills and other elements, opened up a new way of thinking for the effective combination of building immediate incentives and long-term incentives.

The company has set up a national-level superhard material testing center, with testing equipment and data in line with international standards, including hue, transparency, stacking density, magnetic properties, crystal shape, particle size, thermal conductivity, impurities, cracks, inclusions, etc. The standard test system for indicators. And participated in the completion of GB/T 23536-2009 "super hard abrasive synthetic diamond variety", JB/T 10985-2010 "superhard abrasive synthetic diamond technical conditions", JB/T 10986-2010 "superhard abrasive synthetic diamond impurity content Inspection method", JB/T 10987-2010 "Superhard abrasive synthetic diamond impact toughness determination method", JB/T 7989-2012 "Superhard abrasive compressive strength determination method" and other standards drafting work, leading the drafting of "plating Titanium Diamond Testing Standards. The Central South Standard has become synonymous with the highest standards in the minds of customers.

Up to now, the company has established a technological innovation system with enterprise technology center as the main body, market-oriented, and production, education and research. To create a high-efficiency industry-university-research cooperation model as a breakthrough in enterprise innovation, based on the long-term, perseverance in basic application research and innovation, and strive to cultivate the core technology of "original" enterprises, and strive to break the international technology monopoly in some major core areas. In the strategy of independent innovation, it has gradually transitioned from “introduction and digestion” to “digestive innovation” and “independent innovation”.

Unique diamond culture

The unique entrepreneurial process has enabled Zhongnan Company to form a unique corporate culture and values ​​in the combination of history and future.

As a military-civilian combination enterprise, the company not only highlights the modern management methods, but also retains and inherits the fine traditions passed down by many military enterprises. The company's adjustment organization, capable personnel, workshop director and team leader will all be produced through open recruitment and democratic appraisal. In principle, there is no middle-level deputy, the production unit is named after the individual, and the humanistic philosophy and team consciousness are deeply implemented, and the responsibility for layer-by-layer responsibility is established. An incentive mechanism that is consistent with the responsibility of the system. "In this way, everyone's pressure has become greater, the sense of responsibility has become stronger, the atmosphere of learning and progress has become more and more popular, the work efficiency has been greatly improved, and a large number of compound talents have been cultivated." Li Yushun, the current general manager of the company, exclaimed.

In Central South, looking for the leader to go directly to the production workshop, the current general manager Li Yushun only has an hour in the office every day. At other times, all of them are in the production line, a work clothes, a bicycle, walking through the workshop every day, running in scientific research and production. on site. Under his leadership, the enthusiasm of the middle-level cadres and all employees has doubled.

The people who came to visit the company often questioned that "there is only one workshop director, no deputy director, no full-time dispatch, planning, personnel, how to work!" Others seem unbelievable, and it seems commonplace among the people of Central South. Each workshop director is not only the company commander and instructor of the workshop "company", but also the "warrior" who is in charge of the battle. They are familiar with the production process, are proficient in the workshop business, and take the initiative to work in the workshop almost every night. Work is like a life. ”

It can be said that every paragraph of the super-hard material industry chain is full of interest temptations. The reason why Zhongnan Diamond Company has developed to this day is mainly due to the combination of professionalism and large-scale development of several generations of leadership teams of Zhongnan Company.

When the super-hard materials industry has just started and everyone is not standing firm, some diamond companies can't resist the temptation of the interests of super-hard materials series and relax the development of the original superior products. Zhongnan Diamonds and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhongnan Jiete Company focus on two major products, insisting on creating value for users, high-quality and low-cost sales, supporting consumers to grow and develop, and promoting the development of the company through user development, achieving a good cooperation and win-win situation. situation. At the same time, strengthen safety production management, achieve pollution-free emissions, energy-saving, environmental protection, green, emission reduction, low-carbon good corporate image, so that the company's visibility and reputation continue to improve.

In 2011, according to the strategic deployment of China Ordnance Group, Zhongnan Diamond was specialized in regionalization and reorganization into an important business segment of the Chinese weapon Yuxi Group, which provided more powerful support for the development of diamond. Faced with the pressure of the domestic and international economic crisis, the group company decided that Zhongnan Company not only did not reduce the income of employees, but also raised the salary level. The implementation of this policy greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of employees.

According to the arrangement of the "136 Project Plan" of the Chinese Weapons Yuxi Group, the Zhongnan Company implemented the popular project and the people's livelihood project in depth. In the past two years, the company has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, built a staff bathing center, rebuilt the water source water supply system, and renovated it. The nursery school has newly built the staff's residence, which has further improved the quality of life and happiness index of the employees, enhanced the sense of belonging, responsibility and pride of the employees as the company and the company, and truly developed for the employees, the development depends on the employees, and the development The results are shared by the employees, which makes the company show a good situation of rapid, stable and harmonious development.

Drawing a blueprint, winning the world's most superhard materials

In the face of achievements, the people of Central and South China are not proud, but draw a grand blueprint for building a dynamic, ambitious, responsible and respected Zhongnan diamond, building a world-class superhard material industry base and leading the development direction of the superhard materials industry. . Especially after the restructuring and adjustment of the leading group and organization of the Yuxi Group in 2010, the new management team is more forward-looking, grasping the overall situation, facing the future, making scientific decisions, and playing the company's high-speed development.

During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, Zhongnan Diamond will continue to improve the super-hard material product line, and is committed to the R&D and production of PCD, PDC, PCBN, super-hard material composite sheets, gem-quality diamonds and graphite products, and actively expand the industrial chain. From a higher and farther perspective, effectively open and expand the market for super-hard materials, create new demands and foster new markets.

Conclusion

With its unique business philosophy and leap-forward development speed, Zhongnan Diamond has promoted the development of the entire diamond industry, and promoted the development of upstream and downstream related industrial markets in the super-hard materials industry, effectively accelerating the national super-hard materials industry to catch up with the world's advanced level. The pace has made a significant contribution to the superhard materials industry in China and the world. We believe that the South China Diamond, a black horse full of strength and vitality, will create one miracle after another; the bright pearl of Zhongnan Diamond will be more dazzling after the time.
