Chinese pencil, the first pencil in China, many people's first writing in childhood may use Chinese pencils, as well as the 2B pencils used for machine-readable cards for college entrance examinations, are all Chinese pencils.
When it comes to Chinese pencils, it has to be mentioned that its founder, Wu Qianmei, the founder of Chinese pencils who is determined to save the country through industry, why is it said that pencils will be associated with industrial salvation, because at that time, China did not have its own pencils, and it was necessary to rely on Japanese imported pencils.
Wu Tangmeicha customs trade report found that pencils were imported into China in 1932, reaching a huge amount of 1.5 million gold units, and a mere pencil was a huge amount of money, and it also cost millions of yuan of wealth of Our people every year. Here are those whom we fear, and here we feel the need to start such an industry as soon as possible.
Wu Qianmei founded a pencil company because after he went to Japan to study, he entered the Japanese Masaaki Daiwa Pencil Co., Ltd. for internship. Here he began to learn the process technique of making pencils.
When Wu Tangmei was interning at The Yamato Pencil Co., Ltd. in Japan, a Japanese man named Saburo Shuhara saw that he was paying attention to the manufacturing technology of pencils everywhere and reprimanded him severely: "Even if you go to Wu Ding II, China will not make pencil refills and will not be able to run a pencil industry." ”
But Wu Tangmei vowed to build China's own pencils, so he used every opportunity to learn to make pencils and then returned to China to start his own business.
In 1934, Wu Tangmei sold his hometown house to get 4500 yuan as funds, while borrowing money to raise 50,000 yuan, founded the Chinese pencil factory, he looked for refill materials everywhere, in order to find domestic raw materials, Wu Tangmei in the mineral resources are more familiar with the assistance of the Central Industrial Experiment Institute, Wu Tangmei found clay in Suzhou, found graphite mine from Hunan, purchased lac, walnut, cypress, ginkgo and basswood in Yunnan, after many experiments, Chinese refill raw materials were finally successfully developed.
It was officially launched in 1935, but faced with imported products, his domestic pencils did not have any advantages, so he advertised: Chinese use Chinese pencils. Chinese pencils are made by "Chinese technicians, Chinese raw materials, Chinese capital".
Chinese pencils began to be popular with the Chinese people. Affected by the war, the equipment of the pencil factory was damaged, after the end of the War of Resistance, the Chinese pencil was restored to the factory, and in March 1954, the China Pencil Company successfully developed the Zhonghua Brand 101 drawing pencil. It is the machine-readable card drawing pencil that everyone uses now.
In the 1980s, Wu Xiangmei went to Visit Japan, he specially went to the Japanese pencil company where he was interning, and at the banquet, the old man took out two of the latest products and said to the Japanese side: "I have come to promote our new products, please enjoy the light!" The Japanese took it with both hands at the time, and the admiring five bodies fell to the ground.
Since then, the Chinese pencil has completed the counterattack of Made in China.
The story of the Chinese pencil is over here, not yet, the development of the later is more exciting.
Zhonghua Pencil acquired Lao Feng Xiang and is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Lao Feng Xiang 100% controlled. From the pencil to the jewelry industry, the diversified expansion of the business was completed, and the huge growth of the company's profit was achieved.
Chinese pencil aerospace special pen, in 2008, the Shenqi spacecraft was launched, Chinese astronauts achieved the first spacewalk, and China's independent research and development of space pencil is the Chinese pencil.
After a large number of comparative tests, the innovative use of new refill formula, core making process and core firing method, the refill technical indicators have reached the predetermined requirements. At present, the new technology has applied for a national patent.
The Chinese pencil bears the heavy national responsibility, making people proud and proud, a small pencil, condensing the heavy responsibility of history and the mission of the future, powerful, Made in China.
