On February 2, 2024, Weichai Group held the 2024 Annual Science and Technology Innovation Award Conference, with 65 million yuan to reward major scientific research achievements and outstanding scientific and technological talents. At the meeting, Weichai Outstanding Engineer and Weichai Young Outstanding Engineer were also newly appointed, and Tan Xuguang arranged and deployed the scientific and technological innovation work in the coming period. It is worth noting that Tan Xuguang proposed for the first time to vigorously promote the spirit of engineers in the whole group, and made a special exposition on the "Weichai Engineer Spirit". A few days ago, the party and the state have just commended a group of national outstanding engineers and national engineer teams, in this context, Tan Xuguang proposed that the "Weichai engineer spirit" can be described as a profound meaning.
Tan Xuguang is an engineer himself.
In 1977, Tan Xuguang entered Weifang Diesel Engine Factory, and his first job was to be a product tester and participate in the research and development and trial production of tank diesel engines in China. At that time, his dream was to become the same person as his master, an eighth-level worker, equivalent to the current senior engineer. After 10 years of R&D and experimental study, he has studied the "heart" of diesel engines - fuel systems, which has given him a deep understanding of diesel engines. Some entrepreneurs who are familiar with Tan Xuguang, especially the heads of foreign companies, often sigh: I have never seen a CEO or president who knows the product better than him. When Tan Xuguang became the helm of Weichai, his combination of entrepreneurial ability and engineering literacy exploded with tremendous energy, which played a crucial role in his grasp of the company's strategic direction of science and technology in the coming decades.
On January 19, 2024, the award ceremony of the "National Engineer Award" was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and Tan Xuguang was awarded the "National Outstanding Engineer". If you take stock of China's most respectable entrepreneurs, Tan Xuguang can definitely be selected, this bold dreamer, fanatical adventurer, the perfect combination of technology, business and sustainable development, to build a local state-owned enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy into a hundreds of billions of multinational groups, in addition to excellent business thinking, but also in his "engineer thinking", and this is also what distinguishes him from ordinary entrepreneurs, can let him go further.
Weichai's rise to the top of global science and technology relies on a large number of engineers.
The engineer team is an important force to promote engineering science and technology to benefit mankind and create the future, and is an important part of the national strategic talent force. Tan Xuguang said that it is precisely because generations of Weichai engineers have been tackling key problems day and night and making bold innovations and breakthroughs that we have grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and climbed to the top of global science and technology. Weichai's unique engineer spirit is a valuable asset for the leapfrog development of the enterprise, and it is also an important magic weapon for moving towards first-class.
Tan Xuguang saidTalent is Weichai's greatest advantage, and it is also our strongest confidence over the past century. It is necessary to make great efforts to attract more global high-tech talents to join Weichai, build a team of 100 science and technology commanders in the next five years, and cultivate a group of talented and outstanding engineers; There are 5,000 backbone engineers in the fields of new technology, new industries and new business forms; Broaden the development channel of skilled talents, take the lead in implementing the "new eight-level worker" system in the country, and the number of craftsmen has exceeded 3,000. We must continue to optimize the innovation ecology, as long as the R&D personnel want to do it, we will do it immediately! As long as the R&D personnel dare to ask for it, we will resolutely give! As long as it is done by R&D personnel, we will boldly award!
It is necessary to let the spirit of Weichai engineers be integrated into the blood and inherited for a hundred years.
Tan Xuguang said that the spirit of Weichai engineers is to let the world use the dream of China's power heart; Weichai's engineer spirit is not to fight for the first, that is, to pursue the value of mixing; The spirit of Weichai engineers is the persistent belief in doing one thing for a lifetime; Weichai's engineer spirit is the overall awareness of open and collaborative team operations.
Weichai has a team of more than 12,000 engineers, which is the pillar of Weichai and the hope of Weichai's future.
Tan Xuguang proposed:"We must continue to improve the status of Weichai engineers, create a good ecology of engineers who are proud, everyone respects engineers, everyone loves engineers, and everyone strives to be excellent engineers!" ”
"Weichai's scientific and technological career is an expedition of glory and dreams. The majority of engineers should grasp the baton, inherit the spirit of engineers, absorb wisdom in the world's scientific and technological competition, increase their skills in fighting the global storm, and lead the generation to do it on the infinite stage of Weichai, and the generation is stronger than the generation! ”
"The majority of engineers should cherish the opportunity, cherish the platform, produce more results, produce results quickly, and walk in the front, be a pioneer, and make new contributions in the journey of Weichai to accelerate its march towards a world-class science and technology powerhouse, so that your name will shine in the annals of Weichai science and technology!" ”
As Tan Xuguang said:"Spring for engineers is coming! ”
