In 1914, Fan Xudong founded the Jiuda Fine Salt Company in Tianjin, which was the first refined salt enterprise in China, and produced The first package of refined salt in China in 1915, making Chinese people eat the snow white and hygienic refined salt they produced for the first time. This has made an outstanding contribution to improving the health of Chinese people. Previously, the West ridiculed Chinese as a "soil-eating nation", and this shame was washed away by Fan Xudong.
In 1917, Fan Xudong founded the Yongli Alkali Company in Tianjin, and after a long period of failure, through independent innovation, he drove for the second time on June 29, 1926 and successfully produced white soda ash. This is the first Sulvi alkali factory in Asia, which developed soda ash before Japan. This move is to break through the long-term blockade and monopoly of Western technology, making China the 31st country to use Sulvi legal alkali. In August 1926, at the World Exposition in Philadelphia, the "Red Triangle" brand soda ash of Wynn Company won the gold medal and was evaluated as "a symbol of China's industrial progress". In 1930, he won the gold medal at the Belgian International Exposition of Industry and Commerce.
In 1921, Wynn Company built the tallest building in East Asia, the North and South Buildings, which became a landmark of Tanggu and a pilot lighthouse of Tanggu Port.
In 1922, Fan Xudong founded China's first private scientific research institution, the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society, and hired Sun Xuewu, a doctor in the Department of Chemistry of Harvard University, as its president. The move aims to build the central nervous system of the "permanent yellow" group, which in turn becomes the central nervous system of China, and then the central nervous system of the world.
In 1927, Wynn became the first enterprise in China to implement an eight-hour working day.
In 1928, Fan Xudong founded China's first corporate publication, "Sea King" Magazine, laying a solid foundation for the corporate culture construction of the "Permanent Yellow" group.
In 1931, the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society established The Mycology Laboratory, the first laboratory in China specializing in applied microorganisms. After that, for the first time in China, modern scientific means were used to systematically study the fermentation technology of vinegar and wine, such as Xinghuacun Fenjiu.
In 1932, the Yellow Sea Chemical Industry Research Society developed the first batch of phosphate and potash fertilizers in China in the laboratory.
In 1933, Hou Debang published "Alkali Making" in the United States, announcing the independent innovation of the Sulvi alkali process, making it a wealth for all mankind. This is the first time that the world has announced the Sulvi alkali process, which was evaluated by Professor Wilson of the United States as "the greatest contribution made by Chinese chemists to world civilization". The fifth annual meeting of the Chinese Society of Engineers awarded the gold medal honor to Hou Debang, and the chairman of the conference evaluated the book "Alkali Making": "The book "Alkali Production" is especially admired by Chinese and foreign scholars, especially the glory of the mainland engineering community. ”
In 1934, Fan Xudong solicited the spirit of enterprise in the magazine "Sea King", which was later summarized as "four creeds". This is the first enterprise spirit in China and the first enterprise spirit in the world. In the West, the spirit of entrepreneurship sprouted in the 1950s and arose in the 1970s. Fan Xudong built the spirit of enterprise decades earlier than the West, which is the "precursor" of the emergence of global corporate culture, so Fan Xudong is known as the father of the world's entrepreneurial spirit.
In 1934, Fan Xudong founded the Yongli Rhenium Sulfate Factory in Nanjing, and successfully produced China's first agricultural package fertilizer in February 1937. This is the first kramonium sulfate plant in China and the largest chemical plant in Asia.
In 1935, the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society trial produced China's first alumina sample and made an airplane model as a souvenir.
In 1935, Fan Xudong founded the China Industrial Service Society, which for the first time spread advanced technology to the whole country on a large scale.
In 1938, the Yellow Sea Chemical Industry Research Society analyzed that Sichuan well salt contained barium elements, and designed a barium removal process, and then promoted and popularized this technology to the Sichuan salt field free of charge, and for the first time completely eradicated Sichuan's "huan disease" (also known as "rice disease", scientific name "Jiading paralysis").
In 1938, the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society developed the technology of using five-tangerine to make aqueous acid for the first time in China. In 1940, the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society built China's first dinacles factory- the Huanghai Vermic Acid Manufacturing Plant, which opened the cause of huanghai vermic acid in modern China.
In 1939, the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society founded China's first academic journal of fermentation microbiology, Fermentation and Mycology.
In 1939, Jiuda Jingyan Company adopted the branch frame invented and designed by the Yellow Sea Chemical Industry Research Society, and promoted and popularized this technology to Sichuan, Yunnan and other places free of charge. This is the first time in China that the wind has been used to naturally evaporate brine, saving 2/3 of energy consumption.
From 1939 to 1941, under the organization of Hou Debang, the scientific and technological personnel of Wynn Company in Sichuan, Hong Kong, Shanghai and New York conducted linkage experiments and invented the world's most advanced new alkali production method. On March 15, 1941, Wynn Company held a factory meeting, and all colleagues unanimously agreed to name the new alkali method "Hou's alkali method". On December 25, 1943, at the 11th annual meeting of the Chinese Chemical Society held in Wutongqiao, Chuanxi, Wynn Company announced the success of the "Hou's Alkali Method" to the Chinese academic community. "Hou's alkali method", which can produce both soda ash and ammonia chloride, pushed the soda ash process technology to the highest peak in the world, which was the world's first alkali production technology at that time, and opened a new era of alkali production in the world. "Hou's alkali method" is a brilliant chapter written by Chinese in the history of world chemical industry.
In 1941, the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society extracted the metal bismuth for the first time in China.
In 1942, Wynn Company drilled the first deepest salt well in China in Sichuan, with a depth of more than 3500 feet.
In 1942, Fan Xudong founded Sany Chemical Products Factory, which was completed and put into operation in 1943, and was the first large-scale semi-industrial experimental factory in China.
In 1944, Fan Xudong founded China's first private marine chemical resources and marine chemical research institute - Marine Research Laboratory (Marine Chemical Research Society).
In 1940, 1944 and 1945, Wynn provided technical assistance to South Africa, Brazil and India to export alkali production methods, which was the first time that modern China exported chemical technology to the outside world.
