Reporters Zhao Xueyi and Li Qiaoyu
"As a party member, you have to rush to the front." In the party member activity room of Sinopharm Group Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sinopharm" in the Dongcheng District of Beijing, Jiang Xin, secretary of the party committee, told the Securities Daily reporter. Founded in 1950, Sinopharm witnessed many historic moments and completed an important task entrusted by the party.
In this elaborately arranged party member activity room, the oath of joining the party is written on the "oath wall" facing the door. The "Wall of Honor" on the other side is filled with honorary plaques, recording the arduous struggle of generations of Sinopharm people and the "red gene" that Sinopharm has inherited to this day.
"We cherish these honors." Jiang Xin told reporters with a smile, "When we moved a while ago, we were reluctant to let the moving company carry these plaques, and they all moved over by themselves. Winning these honors is particularly difficult, relying on the 'sacrifice' and effort of generations without regard to returns. ”
Relive the "Beacon Memory"
On August 1, 1950, the predecessor of Sinopharm, China National Pharmaceutical Corporation, was officially established. It was also in that year that the Korean War broke out.
At that critical moment, Zhao Weide, who was working at the medicinal materials station of the military region, received an order to send the medical supplies to the front line in advance. At the age of 20, he took off his military uniform and entered North Korea ahead of schedule with three comrades in civilian clothes. From October 1950 to July 1953, the war lasted for 33 months. Zhao Weide and his companions encountered enemy aircraft bombardment four times in their work, and successfully completed the task on the brink of life and death.
After the war, Cho responded to the party's call to remain in Korea to help rebuild until he returned to China in August 1957. In 1978, he transferred to China Pharmaceutical Corporation. Since then, for more than 20 years, he has been engaged in the work of medicinal materials, quietly cultivating and hard work. In 2020, Zhao Weide passed away, and Sinopharm wrote an article of condolences and wrote this evaluation - "He used his life to interpret his faith and original intention".
"Zhao Weide is an example around us, and many of Sinopharm's colleagues have heard his story during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea." Jiang Xin recalled, "We will pass on his story from generation to generation. ”
Sinopharm has never lacked touching stories. In February 1960, Beijing Xinte Pharmaceutical Company, a subsidiary of beijing procurement and supply station of China National Pharmaceutical Corporation (the predecessor of Sinopharm Holdings Beijing Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinopharm), received a notice that 61 people in Pinglu County, Shanxi Province, had suffered from food poisoning and were in urgent need of 1,000 "dimercaptohexanol".
At a time when transportation and information technology were not yet developed, it was not easy to achieve a large supply of a rare drug in a short period of time. "Local medical staff have tried a variety of ways to save people, but all of them are ineffective, and the whole country is looking for medicine." Beijing Xinte Pharmaceutical Company took active action and finally found that the drug was available in the company's small warehouse. Jiang Xin told reporters that at that time, "dimercaptopropanol" had achieved localization of independent production, and because of the realization of mass production and supply and the decline in value, from special drugs to ordinary drugs, is preparing to be sent by special drug stores to ordinary pharmaceutical companies around the world for sale.
This deed was later written as "For the Sixty-one Class Brothers", and it was also made into a movie and widely circulated, touching generations of Chinese. Jiang Xin told reporters that at present, the state-controlled Beijing, which belongs to Sinopharm, is still carrying out assistance activities in Pinglu County, Shanxi Province, sending medicines and medicines to Pinglu County and solving practical difficulties.
"Whether it is the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, or the rescue of sixty-one class brothers, we have played our due role in the field of medicine." Jiang Xin said, "As a central enterprise, we have developed by relying on the spirit behind these red stories, and we must continue to excavate the red history of the enterprise and pass on this red gene." ”
Rush to the front line of the fight against the epidemic
In the Spring Festival of 2020, the company experienced the most stressful moments. "Mental stress and psychological stress are at their limit." Recalling the situation at that time, Jiang Xin confessed to reporters.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, Sinopharm Group undertook the task of central drug reserves and directly docked with Wuhan, Hubei Province. "At that time, the factory closed all its doors during the holidays, and many employees also went home for the New Year, and the transportation of medicines faced the problem of insufficient manpower and materials." Jiang Xin told reporters that after receiving the news, many employees spontaneously returned the Spring Festival train tickets they had bought so hard and immediately threw themselves into battle, regardless of personal gains and losses. When there are not enough transport vehicles, private cars are used, and some even find relatives and friends to borrow cars to complete the transportation of materials.
"I still have palpitations when I think about it." Chang Tao, director of the sales department of the Beijing Direct Selling Center Hospital of Sinopharm and secretary of the fourth party branch of the headquarters of Sinopharm, who participated in the fight against the epidemic, told the Securities Daily reporter that during the most serious period of the epidemic, the state encouraged people to reduce their going out and avoid gathering, and the place where the employees of Sinopharm co., Ltd. ran was precisely the medical institution where the epidemic was most serious. "Party members are also human beings, and they are afraid in their hearts. But at that time, I couldn't take care of so much, and I insisted on completing the task. ”
Chang Tao told reporters, "The salesman is very hard, even if he can go home from work at night, the children are sleeping." During the busy day, there was no time to answer the phone. At that time, the biggest wish of many colleagues was to call their children. ”
Dong Yuanyuan, winner of the honorary title of anti-epidemic advanced individual of Sinopharm Group and representative of the post-90s young workers of Sinopharm Holdings Beijing Tianxing Puxin Biomedical Co., Ltd., is an active member of the party and an ordinary maintenance worker of the logistics department, during the anti-epidemic period, she has the courage to take responsibility, returned to work at the first time, and assisted the logistics department to purchase epidemic prevention materials through various channels; fully organized the disinfection of the reservoir area, actively carried out the epidemic prevention and control publicity work, and cooperated with the department to do a good job in the control of foreign personnel; participated in the formulation of the logistics department's prevention and control emergency plan. Distribute masks and other protective materials to colleagues, and take the initiative to assume the work responsibilities of colleagues who have not returned to work. She stuck to the front line of work for 62 days, explaining the responsibility of the new youth of sinopharm after the 90s.
Jiang Xin told reporters, "The company did its best to provide protective measures to ensure the safety of employees; party members themselves rushed to the front and set an example for the masses." These jobs are mundane, but they are not easy to do. In the most difficult times, everyone encouraged each other, took the party branch as a fortress, and gave full play to cohesion and motivation. ”
The spirit of party members of Sinopharm co., Ltd. infects more people, and many active members of the party will emerge in the company every year. Since the beginning of this year, Jiang Xin has counted dozens of applications for joining the party that have been screened through layers and layers.
Run to the scale of 100 billion yuan
2020 is a year of profound and dramatic changes in the world, but also a year of shock and change in the pharmaceutical industry, from the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, to the introduction of pharmaceutical policies such as three-doctor linkage, medical insurance control fees, and quantity procurement, the competition pattern of the entire pharmaceutical industry has undergone tremendous changes, which has brought far-reaching impact to the direction of the industry.
In this context, the company should move towards high-quality development through transformation and upgrading. In the view of Zhu Lin, deputy general manager, secretary of the board of directors and secretary of the second party branch of Sinopharm, a company with real resilience and strong viability is not only bigger and stronger in the main business, but also reserves enough resources to continue to develop and innovate in characteristic formats and innovative formats.
"For pharmaceutical commercial companies, highlighting the main business is not simply to expand the market in the main business field, but must jump out of the traditional field and re-examine and think about the entire industry with a new perspective, which must be ahead of the current industry situation and strategic, in order to truly seize the opportunity of medical system reform." Zhu Lin said.
At present, Sinopharm has made some useful attempts in the field of stomatology, specialized pharmacies and special medicine, which is of great significance for building the company's diversified core competitiveness. "During the '14th Five-Year Plan' period, the company's strategic planning set the scale of revenue of 100 billion yuan." Jiang Xin said that in order to achieve this goal, Sinopharm actively participated in the company's strategic planning and sub-strategic preparation during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period from top to bottom, from leaders to employees, from business departments to management departments, from headquarters to subsidiaries at all levels.
Jiang Xin said that the executives and middle-level executives of Sinopharm are mostly party members, and they have played a good leading and leading role. The multi-level and multi-link participation is also the guarantee of the clarity, effectiveness and feasibility of the company's "14th Five-Year Plan" strategic plan. "To grasp party building, we must start from grasping production and operation, grasp production and operation from party building, and give full play to the role of party committees in taking the direction, managing the overall situation, and promoting implementation." The party building work of state-owned enterprises is stronger than competitiveness, doing solid work is productivity, and doing fine work is cohesion. Jiang Xin stressed.
