Immediately after the earthquake, he went to Japan to donate on the spot

When I learned that there was a major earthquake in Japan, Liu Yingjian, chairman of Hanwang Technology Co., Ltd., was on a business trip in New York. The next day he rushed to Tokyo. The company plans to translate Japanese manga into Chinese and sell them on its e-book platform, holding a press conference in Tokyo and giving a speech to the Japanese publishing community.

His wife, who was deeply concerned, and his subordinates dissuaded him from going. However, the Japanese partner Chuanghe Group, which is responsible for the planning and other work, said that there is no problem and that the event will be carried out as originally planned. So Liu Yingjian made the decision to "believe in partners".

The next day, Tokyo was unexpectedly calm. The campaign proceeded as originally planned amid aftershocks. When Liu Yingjian heard that some employees walked four hours to work, he admired the "perseverance of the Japanese people who insisted on working" and donated 2 million yen to his partner, Chuanghe Group, on the spot. The rally on e-paper books attracted hundreds of Japanese people, and Liu Yingjian felt strongly about the enthusiasm of the Japanese for Chinese business.

After returning home, Liu Yingjian published an article in the Chinese media saying that the pessimistic view was that Japan would fall into another "decade of collapse", but that the resilience of the Japanese economy should not be underestimated.

Before starting his business in 1998, Liu Yingjian was engaged in scientific research. The name "Hanwang" is derived from the meaning of "*". The company took the lead in developing a computer handwriting recognition system and a face and fingerprint recognition system in China, and the "Hanwang e-paper book" that began to be sold in 2008 was widely favored, with a market share of 70% among nearly 100 peer companies.

Pump truck "Big Kirin" rushed to the aid of the nuclear power plant

"The Great Kirin" is a term of endearment for the large pump trucks that played a role in the water injection operation of the Fukushima*5656 nuclear power plant.

The 62-metre-long pump truck manufactured by Sany Heavy Industry Group Co., a major Chinese construction machinery company, can be used to inject water from a height of 20 floors. At construction sites, it is used to inject concrete. After receiving an order from TEPCO, Sany decided to provide it free of charge. On March 22, the pump truck set sail from the port of Shanghai and arrived at the Fukushima site about 10 days later. Including transportation costs, Sany Heavy Industry provided assistance to TEPCO with a total value of about 100 million yen.

Xiang Wenbo, president of Sany Heavy Industry, said that this is a disaster that transcends countries and nations, and that the whole world extended a helping hand to China when the earthquakes occurred in Sichuan and Qinghai, and now it is our turn to support Japan.

Xiang Wenbo said: "For a long time, China's economy has been backward, and it is difficult to provide adequate assistance to foreign countries. But now we have the obligation and the ability to provide humanitarian assistance. ”

Chinese newspapers commented that this will play a great role in improving the international image of Chinese products and creating business opportunities.

"Wasn't it the same in Japan? The product is considered to be cheap and of poor quality, and if you use it and think it is good, the misunderstanding will be eliminated. "In the case of a mine accident in Chile, South America, last summer, the company produced trackscraneIt was also designated as a rescue equipment and took on an important task. Its stage is already stretching out to the world.

The company sources parts from Japanese companies and often sends its employees on business trips to Japan. There are dozens of Japanese employees at the company's headquarters, mainly in technical jobs.

Xiang Wenbo said: "The Japanese have a spirit of solidarity and are good at enduring hardships and standing hard work. I'm sure they'll recover from the disaster soon. ”

Young Chinese companies are proud of their role in helping the Great East Japan Earthquake. This sincere assistance will also give birth to business opportunities.

However, the ability to seize the opportunity will also depend on competition. In the aftermath of the disaster, business forms of communication and competition will gradually emerge. (Reporter Keiko Yoshioka from Beijing)
