Why did Made in China once humiliate India and make United States embarrassed? Let's take a look at the masters behind Made in China!
China's manufacturing industry has a strong momentum and has been ahead of other countries in many fields, which also reflects the continuous efforts and progress of the mainland in the field of scientific and technological innovation and manufacturing.
For example, in the field of ships, the mainland has become the world's largest ship-owning country, with a total tonnage of 249.2 million tons. In the list of high-tech exports, the mainland has been in the first place for a long time, far exceeding Germany, United States, Japan, Singapore and other countries. In addition, in terms of automobile manufacturing, China has also been the world's No. 1 for more than ten years.
Speaking of this, I have to talk about the mainland known as the "king of global port machinery" Zhenhua Heavy Industries founder Guan Tongxian, he started his business at the age of 59, Zhenhua Heavy Industries from a little-known small enterprise, bigger and stronger, only 6 years, to achieve the world's first, the manufacture of heavy port machinery is all over the world.

Why did Zhenhua Heavy Industries "shame" India and embarrass former President Obama United States?
In order to manufacture aircraft carriers, United Kingdom spent money to purchase Zhenhua Heavy Industries' gantry cranes from the mainland. Why? Because there is no other country except China that can produce this kind of heavy equipment, the tonnage of the gantry crane reaches 1000 tons. When United Kingdom got its own aircraft carrier, it sold the gantry crane to India for twice the price.
India has been touting Made in India for many years, and openly and secretly resisting Made in China, they believe that the quality of Chinese equipment is inferior to Western countries, and they have a deep prejudice against us.
But I don't want to buy the second-hand gantry crane used in United Kingdom, and find that it is a product made in China, which undoubtedly makes India feel very ashamed, they boycott Chinese products ideologically, and rely on Chinese manufacturing in action, which is simply a death to face and suffer from it.
In the early years United States, President Barack Obama was giving a wonderful speech in Miami in a large audience, and the theme of the speech was about revitalizing United States manufacturing.
As Mr. Obama made his rousing speech, attention turned to the Chinese crane behind him, which turned out to be a large crane manufactured by Zhenhua Heavy Industries on the mainland.
They covered the United States flag with the brand logo printed with the words "Zhenhua ZPMC", and did not think that a gust of wind accidentally blew the United States flag away, and the eye-catching Zhenhua two words were very eye-catching, which made Obama feel very embarrassed.
Made in China has covered the whole United States, but now they want to revitalize United States manufacturing at the feet of Chinese manufacturing giants, what an ironic picture.
The speech was seen by United States politicians as a technological embarrassment, a black history that Obama wanted to erase, and a free advertisement for Zhenhua around the world, and its effect was obvious.
In the face of United States' vigorous propaganda of other people's shortcomings, but its own shortcomings are covered up vigorously, the editor scoffs at this.
Let's turn back to the topic and learn about our protagonist Guan Tongxian, who is about to retire at the age of 59, decisively resigned from his stable position, chose to go to sea, and founded Zhenhua Port Machinery Company.
In the environment of 1992, when Chairman Deng Xiaoping drove the wave of reform from top to bottom on the mainland, the state called for going to the sea to do business and start a business, and everyone is familiar with the group of entrepreneurs who went to the sea before and after, such as Yu Minhong, Pan Shiyi, Li Ning and other celebrities from all walks of life responded to the call of the country at that stage and devoted themselves to the business sea.
At that time, they had the courage and brains to seize the opportunity of the development of the times in time, and made themselves legends in their respective fields.
This also includes Guan Tongxian, when the economy was in a state of globalization and the World Trade Organization officially began to operate, Guan Tongxian was the director of the Marine Machinery Division of the China Hong Kong Corporation.
He felt that the port machinery has a very large space for development, because the machinery and equipment of Chinese ports at that time need to be purchased from abroad, and the experience of Chinese enterprises in this area is also very lacking, and the domestic port machinery products are not as good as the second-hand goods eliminated abroad.
Guan Tongxian felt that this was a good opportunity, so he resigned in Shanghai and scraped together a start-up fund of 1 million yuan, and set up his own company, specializing in port machinery export and foreign trade, since then Shanghai Zhenhua Port Machinery Company was formally established.
Guan Tongxian knows that if he wants to attract the international market, he must have his own advantages, and if he wants to enter the foreign market, he must rely on low price and high quality, and he has high requirements for product quality.
If the quality is questioned by the customer, then the follow-up work will be very difficult. Guan Tongxian said that he does not ask how much profit it can bring to the company, he only hopes to prove to the world that we have a way of being in the world.
To this end, Zhenhua Port Machinery spent a lot of money and energy to complete the first order with high and strict process requirements. The first order of the most important order has established a good reputation for Zhenhua, and the next United States Miami Port also purchased 4 Zhenhua port machinery from Zhenhua at one time, which has opened up the United States market.
But with the cunning United States cooperation is very passive, always by the other party's difficulties, they also require Zhenhua Port Machinery, can not transport the parts over in the assembly, must be transported to the port in the whole set, in the face of the relevant contracts signed with United States buyers, Zhenhua can not break the contract, because now is in the rising period, no matter how difficult it is, but also to fulfill the other party's requirements.
You must know that the height of a gantry crane is equivalent to the height of four or five floors, if the whole set is transported on a ship, how to transport it across the Atlantic to United States?
United States buyers are obviously embarrassed, but Guan Tongxian is also racking his brains to think of countermeasures in the face of United States' unreasonable requirements, and learned through various channels that a shipping company in Netherlands can transport this super-large special machinery.
However, the other party said that it needed to pay a high shipping fee, and there was no guarantee that the goods would arrive at the agreed time.
This incident made Guan Tongxian realize the seriousness of the transportation restrictions, so he decided to set up a fleet of port machinery transport ships by himself.
Due to the serious shortage of funds, Guan Tongxian took out a loan to buy an old ship, and after various technical discussions, cutting and assembly, the transport ship was finally successfully transformed, which was not inferior to the shipping ships of the Netherlands.
Next, more than 20 such special transport ships were built in succession, completing the supply mode of self-built and self-transporting, and becoming the only heavy machinery manufacturer in the world with such capabilities.
How good is Zhenhua Port Machinery?
With the fame of Zhenhua, Guan Tongxian has always paid attention to the quality requirements of heavy industry, won the reputation of China's "King of Hong Kong Machinery", and has maintained the world's first position in the Hong Kong Machinery Market for 22 consecutive years.
Later, in 2014, the world's largest gantry crane was officially put into use, this gantry crane is very large, capable of lifting 1,400 cars at one time.
Since then, Zhenhua Port Machinery has been soaring in the port machinery industry due to its low price and good reputation, and has gradually developed from an unknown small enterprise to a world-famous industrial giant in a few years.
With the continuous innovation of technology, Zhenhua has steadily secured the title of the world's first in any aspect, and behind its rise there are little-known obstacles, difficulties and the spirit of Zhenhua enterprise's hard work.
Zhenhua Heavy Industry has become the leader of Made in China, and as a world-class heavy industry enterprise, it stands proudly at the top of China.
