Liu Jincheng did not deceive people.
On the evening of June 18, 2016, at a banquet of a large scale, Liu Jincheng, chairman of Yiwei Lithium Energy, announced to everyone: "In another 5 years, Yiwei will turn 20 years old." At that time, the young Yiwei lithium energy will achieve the dream of tens of billions. ”
The ideal is very full, and the reality is slightly bone. At that time, its revenue was only a dozen "small targets".
On October 28, 2021, the third quarter report of Ewell Lithium Energy in 2021 was announced, and the company achieved an output value of 4.888 billion yuan in the quarter, and the total output value in the first three quarters reached 11.448 billion yuan.
It is exactly 5 years, and the output value of 10 billion yuan is realized a quarter ahead of schedule.
banquet
If the time is pushed back more than ten years, when many people talk about the most famous enterprises in Huizhou, they will almost mention TCL and Huizhou Samsung. One is locally cultivated and one is introduced. In particular, the TCL of "DongGe" (Li Dongsheng), which is famous in the country, is called a resounding.
But, ten years east of the river, ten years west of the river.
In recent years, with the global industrial transformation and the rise of China's labor costs, the path of factor-driven development has become narrower and narrower. Some enterprises obviously feel that this road has become impassable, and they must devote themselves to research and development, and they must form core competitiveness through innovation. Among them, there is Yiwei lithium energy incubated in Huizhou.
Ewell Lithium Energy was established in 2001 and became one of the first batch of listed enterprises on the Growth Enterprise Market in 2009. Subsequently, it gradually became the leader of China's lithium battery industry, and it also has a lot of weight in the global industry, especially in the field of power battery soft pack technology.
On the evening of June 18, 2016, at the celebration dinner of the 15th anniversary of the establishment of EWELL Lithium Energy, Liu Jincheng raised his glass and was full of interest. In front of thousands of employees and guests, he loudly made a promise to a tens of billions of enterprises. The revenue of EWELL Lithium Energy in 2015 was only 1.35 billion yuan.
Wine can strengthen the courage and also help to talk about fun. How many business people and media journalists who have listened to the rhetoric of all kinds of people will take it seriously? How many people remember the promise that Liu Jincheng made that night?
Track
This is an uncountable puzzle. But "doing" is more important and more difficult than "saying".
What can EWELL Lithium do? According to Liu Jincheng, Ewell Lithium energy will take innovation as the core strategy of development. Perhaps because of too much emphasis on research and development, he is not even happy to be called "Liu Zong" by others, but likes the title of "Liu Gong".
Such a preference does not seem to be a showmanship. In recent years, the R&D talents of Ewell Lithium Energy have continued to grow, and the investment in research and development has continued to rise. Taking 2020 as an example, the number of R&D personnel reached 1751, accounting for 18.11% of the company's personnel; the R&D investment reached 723 million yuan, accounting for 8.86% of the revenue. Taking the first three quarters of this year as an example, the investment in research and development reached 924 million yuan, which has exceeded the investment in the whole of last year. Such R&D investment intensity is also at a high level in innovative enterprises.
If you walk into the company, you will find that there is a wall plastered with patents. Of the more than a thousand patents, more than half are invented.
In recent years, the new energy industry has made rapid progress, especially in the context of carbon neutrality and new energy vehicles, and major enterprises have launched fierce competition. Among these enterprises, many of them are temporarily following the trend.
As everyone knows, Yiwei Lithium energy has long stepped on the track in this field, grinding a sword for ten years.
On July 8, 2020, the market value of Ewell Lithium Energy in A shares exceeded 100 billion, exceeding the market value of TCL Technology in one fell swoop. Today, its market value is basically stable at more than 200 billion yuan.
1000 "Small Goals"
In fact, when the output value of Yiwei Lithium energy approached 10 billion, Liu Jincheng shouted out the goal of 100 billion.
It was May 18, 2021, and the Zhongkai High-tech Zone held the 2021 industrial project centralized construction completion and production activities. Several entrepreneurs spoke in turn, and when it was Liu Jincheng's turn, he said: "In the future, we must further embrace the new energy era and march towards the goal of 100 billion output value." ”
Since the restructuring of TCL and the "closure" of Huizhou Samsung, the term "100 billion output value" has rarely been mentioned in Huizhou. That's 1,000 "little goals"! Offstage, the leaders of Huizhou City and Zhongkai District frequently nodded their heads, and their faces were full of expectation.
This confidence comes from long-term large-scale research and development, from the judgment of the trend of the times. In fact, there are many enterprises in Huizhou that have invested in research and development and seized the leading position in emerging industries. Even TCL's "Dongge" has continued to increase its research and development, transforming into a "hard technology" enterprise through the development of the semiconductor display and materials business with Huaxing Optoelectronics as the core. Other companies, such as Desay SV and Huayang Group, have up to 40% of employees engaged in research and development.
Putting the vision on the whole of Huizhou, today, there are more than ten enterprises with an output value of more than 10 billion, such as Bern Optics, BYD Electronics, TCL Ace, Desai Battery, Longqi Electronics... Behind this string of lists are a batch of innovative enterprises that sprint tens of billions, Ewell Lithium Energy, Desay SV, Shenghong Technology, Goldman Sachs...
Global outbreak? Trade frictions? Tight supply chains? So what?
From enterprises to industries to regional economies, how to transform and upgrade? Just look at them.
