Editor's note:
There is a New Year's flavor called sticking to overseas, and there is a kind of on-the-job called Henan power.
During the Spring Festival, Top News launched a series of reports on "I Spent the New Year Overseas", and overseas teams from well-known Henan enterprises such as China Railway Equipment, China Construction Seventh Bureau, and China Railway Seventh Bureau paid New Year's greetings to their hometown fathers and elders from the United States, Germany, Singapore, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). They have taken practical actions to build China's strength to help Henan's economic construction and contribute to the development of the world economy!
Although thousands of miles away, my heart is with my hometown. Salute to every builder of Yuqi at home and abroad!
Top news reporter Zou Haoyu.
Since joining CMOC TFM Mining Company in June 2019, Hu Jiangyue, whose hometown of Changyuan, Henan Province, has spent four consecutive Spring Festivals in this country, known as the "Heart of Africa", until the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon this year.
As the recruitment and training manager of the human resources department of TFM Mining Company, Hu Jiangyue stuck to the front line of his post during the Spring Festival this year and continued to contribute to the company's overseas business development.
[Since the takeover, the company has about 200 employees from Henan].
It is understood that the TFM copper-cobalt mine located in the area of Tengke Town-Fenggu Lumei Town in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the largest and highest-grade copper-cobalt mines in the world, with a mining area of more than 1,500 square kilometers and huge resource potential. In 2016 and 2017, CMOC recorded a total of 37US$500 million to acquire 80% of TFM's shares.
When Hu joined TFM Mining in June 2019, CMOC restructured its TFM management structure, that is, began the transition from US management to Chinese management, and in order to take over and manage such a world-class mining company, it must quickly build an excellent international mining talent team to support it.
In 2020, after completing the takeover of the original 15K processing capacity production line, the construction of the 10K expansion project will be accelerated. In 2021, the 10K expansion project will be completed and put into operation, and in 2022, the 10K project will be increased, and three new production lines of mixed mines with double production capacity will be prepared and accelerated; In 2023, three new production lines of mixed ore will be completed and put into operation, and two roasting acid production lines will be ......Hu Jiangyue mentioned to the top news reporter that in the process of building various production lines and cross-cutting production, it is also the most difficult period for the cross-border flow of human resources due to the impact of the global new crown epidemic.
It is understood that before each milestone set by the company, Hu Jiangyue's team needs to continue to quickly recruit a large number of Chinese management and technical personnel who are not only strong in management, but also highly skilled, and good in English or French, and a large number of skilled and Swahilian workers to work in the DRC.
This is not an easy task.
In 2019, there were just over 20 Chinese employees working here, and today it has built an international mining team of nearly 800 Chinese employees (excluding contractors), including about 200 Henan employees. Hu Jiangyue said that at present, TFM's talent organization continues to be optimized with the development of the company, and the new production line of mixed ore also needs to urgently introduce some key personnel to ensure stable production and full production.
[Exotic Spring Festival: Organize dumpling-making, party-making, and colorful competitions].
In previous years, during the Spring Festival, Hu Jiangyue and other colleagues who stuck to the production site actively participated in the Spring Festival activities. This Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon, he is responsible for organizing and serving the billiards league to enrich the lives of employees during the Spring Festival.
The canteen in our production area began to organize everyone to make dumplings together before the Spring Festival, first, there are many people who need to prepare in advance, and second, everyone feels the taste of the next year and chats about home. Hu Jiangyue said that in addition to making dumplings, a party was also held, and everyone took out their spare time to rehearse the program intensively, show their interests and specialties, and organize various chess and cards, sports, lantern riddles and other colorful competitions.
Because our mining area is relatively large and has two production areas, we sometimes organize employees from the two regions to have a friendship competition, hoping that through a variety of cultural and recreational activities, Chinese colleagues who spend the New Year abroad can have a happy and relaxing New Year together after intense work. ”
Changyuan, Henan Province is Hu Jiangyue's hometown, more than 10,000 miles away from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
This is the fourth consecutive Spring Festival I have spent at TFM. Hu Jiangyue mentioned that before the Spring Festival, the head office had sent gifts and letters of condolences to his family one after another.
This makes those of us who are far away feel very warm from the bottom of our hearts. Hu Jiangyue said.
As of the end of last year, the three new production lines of the mixed mine project have all been built and put into operation, and TFM currently has 5 production lines as a whole, reaching an annual output of 450,000 tons of copper and 3The scale of 50,000 tons of cobalt.
The busyness of work makes people feel that time is rushing, fulfilling and happy. In Hu Jiangyue's view, although he cannot return to China to celebrate the New Year with his family, his choice is very meaningful if he can introduce more outstanding talents to the company, promote the rapid development of the company, and improve the quality of life of employees and their families. "I am grateful to CMOC for giving me such a good platform, even at the ends of the world, this place of peace is my hometown. Hu Jiangyue said.
But the wanderer inevitably feels homesick. Hu Jiangyue has a wish: I hope to reunite with my family during the Spring Festival next year.
