Popular Network reporter Yang Xiaoling reported from Weifang
On October 15th, Goertek's first Weifang Marathon started shooting in Hanting District, the legendary place of Chang'e running to the moon. More than 10,000 marathon enthusiasts and professional athletes went to a different kind of romantic event in the green field and blue sky, harvesting and enjoying glory, passion and joy.
Inheriting the open-mindedness and tolerance of the ancients, the sea and mountains are beautiful, and the better Weifang is like this, and it has always been willing to pave the way to challenge themselves for those who constantly seek breakthroughs; We have always been willing to broaden the path of ultimate pursuit for enterprises that continue to climb the peak of the industry.
Goertek, who has walked for more than 20 years, has been accumulating strength here, moving forward firmly, and running non-stop on the road of pursuing the dream of "becoming a respected global first-class enterprise".
Run, walk with Goertek
Weifang Marathon is a grand event that Weifang Marathon enthusiasts have been waiting for for a long time, and it is also the marathon event with the highest demand for many Goertek people.
"Running got me out of my mood and learned to be confident." "Running on the road, I have experienced more of life." "In the past few years of running, my body has improved and my mentality has improved."
In Goertek, there are many employees who like to feel happy on the road. 5 km, 15 km, 20 km, 40 km ... Many Goertek people start from 0, strive to break through on the runway, and constantly refresh their limits.
Why wasn't Goertek like that?
For more than 20 years, in the key nodes of Goertek's development, more than once encountered external crises, 1997 at the beginning of the business to catch up with the Asian financial crisis, 2001 when it was established encountered the Internet bubble, in 2008 when it was listed encountered the global financial crisis, in recent years and encountered the epidemic and external market fluctuations, but Goertek people worked together and ingeniously, overcoming one problem after another that was almost insurmountable in the eyes of outsiders, from 1 billion yuan to 100 billion yuan, the company's operation has been steadily improving. International influence continues to increase.
Today, Goertek, from upstream precision components and modules, to downstream intelligent hardware, from molds, injection molding, surface treatment, to independent research and development and manufacturing of intelligent equipment, has created a precision processing and intelligent manufacturing platform that is highly vertically integrated in the value chain, and has maintained a global leading position in subdivided fields such as micro-electroacoustic devices, optical devices, consumer electronics machines and accessories.
In the eyes of the Goertek people, running represents passion and confidence, while marathon means tenacity and challenge. They have always faced difficulties with Goertek, and they especially attach importance to this running feast at their doorstep.
Perhaps it is also because, in this event, the past and present, the real and virtual trance time is intertwined, which is more like another way to let the Goertek people continue to walk with Goertek.
Struggle, sprint further
In the Goertek exhibition area near the marathon venue, the world's leading sound, light and electricity technology was used to create an ultimate audio-visual enjoyment, attracting many participants and volunteers. When the number of visitors is the largest, it is no exaggeration to say that it is one after another.
Everything here is inseparable from Goertek's unremitting struggle on the "track" of excellence.
The consumer electronics industry is a highly competitive industry, only the first and second in the industry "have meat to eat", to be the third is actually very good, but it is also difficult to survive. If you don't pursue excellence, you run the risk of being eliminated. At the beginning of its business, Goertek chose a small microphone product, and the slogan proposed at that time was to be the first in the country, and it took several years to achieve this goal, and later proposed to strive for the world's first, and it took almost ten years to achieve it.
It's not easy to keep sprinting toward a farther, higher, stronger goal. In related reports, it was mentioned that Goertek developed a miniature speaker. Goertek's engineers started from the diaphragm, the core material of the micro speaker, found more than 50 kinds of materials before and after, and did countless tests to improve the sensitivity of 2 decibels, but this greatly improved the integrity of the product and solved the polarization problem that has always existed in the field of mobile phone speakers. This technology has been widely used in mobile phones that everyone uses.
Struggle will inevitably bear fruit. Today, Goertek has applied for more than 31,000 patents, including more than 17,000 invention patents, more than 3,900 PCT patents, and more than 19,000 patents authorized.
In September 2023, the National Virtual Reality Innovation Center (Qingdao) was officially put into use. As the leading unit, Goertek shoulders heavy national responsibilities and will further concentrate resources on the development of VR/AR tracks and actively seize the right to speak on the track.
There is no end to the road of struggle.
Together, create health and beauty
In Goertek's external introduction, there is this sentence: "As a responsible and responsible enterprise, Goertek has always practiced the mission of 'science and technology to create health and beauty', adhered to the corporate social responsibility policy of 'abiding by laws and regulations, respecting employees, sustainable development, and giving back to the society', and promoted the sustainable development of employee health, company health and social health through continuous development of healthy life, science and education public welfare and other activities, so as to realize the 'symbiosis and common benefit' of self-development and social development." ”
Goertek has prepared all kinds of indoor and outdoor fitness equipment for employees, not only opened health sports courses, but also organized various competitions such as health running, badminton, football, etc., and encouraged Goertek to continue to go out of the company and fulfill more social responsibilities given by the new era with practical actions.
On June 25, 2022, the first "Goertek Yixing" Charity Day was held, and 100 employees completed a public welfare run with a total mileage of 6.25 kilometers. Prior to this, nearly 10,000 Goertek people collected a total of 1.067 billion steps, unlocked 200,000 yuan of community chest, and established the "Weifang Charity Federation Goertek Charity Fund", which is specially used to help local children in need.
One year later, on the same day, after the "relay run" of employees in Beijing, Qingdao, Weifang, Weihai, Dongguan and other places, the public welfare activity "Goertek Yixing, Hear the Future Together" came to Weifang School for Blind Children, and once again donated 200,000 yuan to the Goertek Charity Fund of Weifang Charity Federation, and donated wireless speakers, smart bracelets and audio sets recorded by employees to the children of Weifang School for Blind Children. Goertek volunteers paired up with the children one-on-one to challenge multiple cooperative tasks and successfully completed the public welfare relay run.
Taking advantage of its own scientific and technological advantages, Goertek has created the "Goertek Together Plan" public welfare activity, bringing VR/AR, drones and other technologies into school classrooms with scarce characteristic educational resources, helping students broaden their horizons and develop hobbies; Relying on the advantages of the organization, resources and platform of party building, Goertek has carried out more than 100 public welfare activities such as "environmental protection", "spring seedling action" and "charity donation" for many years.
Firmly believing that "one person can go fast, a group of people can go further", inside and outside the arena, Goertek people "create, share and grow together", and constantly practice the mission of the times.
Facing the future, Goertek, running non-stop.
