Lu Chenghong

   A cotton yarn named Yulun was spun from 1944, and has been used for 80 years to produce more than 60 varieties of textiles, the top 100 cotton textile manufacturers in China, and to “weave” a new world and “chain” the global market. 80 years of inheritance and innovation have been written with the perseverance of Yulun people. 80 years of struggle and innovation have been written with the perseverance of Jiangsu Yulun Textile Group.

80 years of inheritance and innovation, written with Yulun people's perseverance. 80 years of struggle and hard work, “Yulun textile, textile Yuren” sound. Striving into the new era, Yulun people walk with a resounding step, towards the direction of “building a century-old enterprise, passing on the Yulun brand” to continue to move forward.

  Energized by reform, witnessing the development of textile industry in Jingjiang

  In February 1943, patriotic businessmen Liu Zichun, Zhu Wenyue and Jiang Tingyu jointly initiated the establishment of “Yulun Industrial Society”, meaning “to enrich the country and the people, and to expand the warp and silk”. In April 1944, Yulun Industrial Society was put into trial production. Born in the midst of the war, this small yarn mill with only 2 spinning machines and 256 spindles was the first of its kind in the national industry of Jingjiang.

  After the founding of New China, Yulun ushered in its growth, and over the next 50 years, it gradually developed into the earliest enterprise in the industrial system of Jingjiang, with the largest number of employees and the greatest contribution in history, and was regarded as the “mother industry” of Jingjiang. Nowadays, among the old generation of industrial workers in Jingjiang, many of them used to work as textile workers in Yulun, and when they recall the past, they would think of the scenes of wearing white aprons and white hats, and circling around the machines, counting the bits and pieces that Yulun has brought to them to enrich their lives.

  Yulun was born for the revitalization of national industry, and flourished due to the reform and opening up. Yulun has witnessed the development of textile industry in Jingjiang, and she has always kept her finger on the pulse of the times and reformed her business. Every first try, every difficult ice-breaking, every major turn, let the enterprise get development.

On December 1, 1954, the private Yulan Yarn Factory was the first one to implement public-private partnership in Jingjiang, and in the following years, Yulan continued to grow, and in 1959, when the factory was built with its own funds, the actual spindles had 14,916 spindles. 1966, the public-private Yulan Yarn Factory was renamed as the state-run Jingjiang Hongwei Yarn Factory, and in 1968, Yulan's scale of production had reached 27,000 spindles. 1974, it was established a partnership with Lixin Fabric Factory, which was then the first one to implement a public-private partnership. In 1974, it was merged with Lixin Cloth Factory and renamed as “State-run Jingjiang Textile Factory”, at this time, Yulun had begun to take shape with more than 30,000 spindles.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the CPC in 1978, Yulen was given a new opportunity to develop with the spring breeze of reform and opening up; starting from October 1980, Yulen acquired more than 150 acres of land in the northern suburb of Jingjiang County, building a brand-new 30,000 square meters factory building, updating the spinning equipment for the whole process of 12,000 spindles, and at the same time relocating 18,000 spindles of the old factory. The project of “relocating south factory to north” was completed in May 1987. from July 1989 to March 1990, Yulan built a new spinning workshop by adjusting and reconstructing the equipments, and the production capacity reached more than 50,000 spindles. 1990, Yulan realized a sales income of 105,820,000 Yuan, and became the first enterprise in Jingjiang with a sales income of over 100 million Yuan. In 1990, Yulun realized sales revenue of 105.82 million yuan, becoming the first enterprise in Jingjiang with sales revenue of more than one hundred million yuan, and at the same time, Yulun entered the ranks of “Jiangsu provincial advanced enterprises” and “national medium-sized enterprises”.

  In 1997, Yulun was listed as one of the first batch of modern enterprise system pilot enterprises in Jiangsu Province. In accordance with the requirements, in early 2000, YuLun carried out the first restructuring, the implementation of the public retreat into the private sector, the formation of limited liability companies. 2003, YuLun successfully carried out the “three replacement and one guarantee” reform, that is, the completion of the state-owned equity, the right to use state-owned land, state-owned employee status replacement, the implementation of social security for employees. All state-owned equity withdrew, and Yulun became a joint-stock enterprise held by private capital. Yulun constantly improve the corporate governance structure, shareholders' meeting, board of directors, supervisory board, general manager of the division of powers and responsibilities, mutual checks and balances to coordinate the operation, and strive to improve the operation of the quality of state, the initial establishment of a modern enterprise system.

  Restructuring will inevitably bring business shocks. Facing the reform of the enterprise with 3,000 employees, the leadership of Yulun always adheres to the concept of “reform is the driving force, development is the purpose, stability is a prerequisite”, and solves the problems encountered in a stable manner. Adhere to the people-oriented, fully safeguard the interests of employees, strictly according to the policy, never encroach on the legitimate interests of employees, so as to achieve justified, reasonable and lawful. Deepen the internal reform of the enterprise, introduce the competition and incentive mechanism, break the iron rice bowl of the staff, remove the iron chair of the cadres, smash the distribution of the pot meal, and inject new vitality into the enterprise. Seize the opportunity to accelerate the development of the enterprise, improve the economic efficiency of the enterprise, the income of the staff, so that the staff get real benefits. Realize the steady development of Yulun is growing, for many years was named “Jingjiang City 30 strong enterprises”.

  With the booming market economy, competition is becoming increasingly fierce, a new round of technological transformation is imperative. 1997 to 2000, Yulun in accordance with the national “pressure spindle transformation” requirements, has invested nearly 70 million yuan to implement the spinning department renovation, the introduction of international first-class level of equipment, and at the same time compression phase-out of 12,000 spindles of obsolete spinning capacity. Since 2001, in order to accelerate the cultivation of new growth points, Yulun has implemented the strategy of “moderate debt management”, and has invested RMB 200 million yuan, expropriated nearly 100 acres of vacant land in the west factory area, and implemented the “high-grade combed yarn expansion” technical reform project and the “introduction of key equipment, the development of “the introduction of key equipment, the development of high simulation fabrics,” the national debt technical reform project, the construction of a new 40,000 square meters of light steel structure of the new plant, the installation of advanced equipment at home and abroad. In 2003, the sales of Yulan exceeded 800 million yuan, the profit tax exceeded 50 million yuan, and Yulan was awarded as “Excellent Enterprise of Jiangsu Province”. In 2003, the sales of Yulun exceeded 800 million Yuan, the profit tax exceeded 50 million Yuan, and it was honored as “Excellent Enterprise of Jiangsu Province”, and jumped into the ranks of “National Large-scale Enterprises”.

Relaying the struggle without giving up, dare to try to be the tide!

  In October 2004, Yulun Textile Group, composed of 8 enterprises, with 700 million assets, 160,000 spindles, 4,480 heads of airflow spinning and 260 air-jet looms, made a new appearance.

  In the past few years, Yulun mainly took the road of expanding the scale, the production capacity has been multiplied, and there is a place in the industry. What is the way forward? Yulun's leadership has taken the time to recognize the situation and put forward a visionary transformation direction of taking the road of quality development. Product repositioning, expanding the production of high-count, high-density, high value-added yarn, cloth products, to enter the high-end textile market; accelerate technological and management innovation, in the purchase of combing, combing machine, compact spinning and other advanced equipment, while trying to digest and absorb advanced technology, improve quality and efficiency, reduce costs and improve the quality of business operations.

Economic development is never smooth sailing. 2008, the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis has hit the real economy, cotton prices fluctuate greatly, the internal and external demand is not vibrant, the textile orders shrink, poor sales, bank loans, the shortage of funds, a lot of textile enterprises to shut down, or embarked on the road to bankruptcy. In this critical period of survival, Yulun people did not give up, but through the innovation of business mechanism, management innovation, technological innovation, revitalization of stock assets and other initiatives, to maintain the stability of production and operation. 2012 to achieve the invoiced sales revenue of more than 1 billion yuan, a variety of taxes and fees fund of more than 60 million yuan, the company has maintained for many years, “the national cotton textile industry, the top 100 enterprises” honor. Leading enterprises” honorary title.

In the following years, the keyword of the textile industry has been “change”, market turbulence intensified. At this time, Yulun also faced the history of years of accumulation of “disease”, debt, production technology level is not fast enough to improve the development of new products is not strong enough, the aging of the workforce, the difficulty of recruiting and retention of a series of problems, resulting in the lack of energy for the development of the enterprise. How to do? The trend of the times is so strong that only the tide runner can be brave enough to stand on the head of the tide. Never give up on the Yulun people resolved, knife blade to the inside to get rid of the disease, break the wrist to open a new situation, promote industrial transformation and upgrading.

Yulun soberly realized that the textile industry as a traditional industry, the transformation and upgrading is not another stove, the key lies in the technological transformation and the renewal of ideas. Yulun according to the national industrial policy, continue to eliminate obsolete and backward equipment, the key equipment affecting product quality, the implementation of adaptive transformation of the process of labor, the introduction of automated equipment, reduce labor, to achieve the upgrading of technology and equipment. The production line fully adopts pre-spinning carding and post-spinning automatic winder, and has introduced automated pipe management machine and automatic yarn dropping machine, two kinds of automated production equipment to change the status quo of manual pipe management, which can reduce the labor of the process by about 60%; the automatic yarn dropping machine can replace the manual yarn dropping, which can reduce the labor of the process by about 50%. Through continuous technological transformation, the degree of automation of Yulun has been steadily improved, and the workload of workers has been reduced from more than 80 people per 10,000 spindles in the past to about 60 people.

Around the market demand, Yulun take the initiative to actively adjust the product structure, in the grasp of high-grade bleached yarn, bamboo yarn, polyester-cotton blended yarn and other leading products at the same time, the development of differentiated products, expanding functional fibers, far-infrared fibers, bamboo fibers, chitin fibers, viscose fibers, and other new types of fibers, and continue to develop new, high, special and excellent products, jumping out of the circle of the traditional product over-competition to achieve the upgrading of the product to open up new markets. New market.

Only by practicing internal strength, can we continue to enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise. Yulun strengthens internal management, constantly innovates performance management, price management, target cost management, efficiency supervision, etc., to realize quality improvement, efficiency, cost reduction and consumption reduction. Through competition, distribution incentives, the formation of “everyone learns skills, everyone as a competent” good atmosphere, stimulate the new vitality of the workforce, improve the work efficiency and comprehensive benefits for the stable development of Yulun enhance the endogenous power.

The international situation is changing, the economic situation is changing. Domestic textile overcapacity intensified, a new round of reshuffle began. How to find opportunities in crisis? Yulun, facing a new choice.

  Accumulation of energy to the future, work together to create a century-old enterprise

In 2013, China put forward the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. Unprecedented opportunity came, Yulon immediately adjusted the corporate strategy - “go out” to invest in overseas factories. This is not only a positive response to the country's initiative, but also a necessary way for enterprises to develop their own development space.

  We are on the same path with our country and share the same destiny with the times. After a lot of investigation, we found that Vietnam's manpower, power resources and market environment is better, so we cooperated with Bao Minh Industrial Park in Nam Dinh Province, Vietnam, as a part of the production capacity transfer base, investing in the construction of textile dyeing projects.In March 2014, Yulon invested in the Bao Minh Industrial Park in Nam Dinh Province, Vietnam, to set up Yulon (Vietnam) Textile Dyeing Co. Ltd. with a registered capital of USD 8 million and a total planned investment of USD 39 million, to develop the textile dyeing project. The first phase of the spinning project was put into operation in December 2014, realizing the goal of “construction in the same year, production in the same year”. In view of the success of the first phase of the project, Yulon implemented the second phase of the spinning project in May 2017, and after one year of construction, it was fully completed and put into production in May 2018. On the basis of combed and combed cotton bleached yarns, Yulon has increased the number of compact spinning yarns of various yarn counts, selvage spinning yarns, air spinning yarns and other product categories. So far, Yulon (Vietnam) Textile Dyeing Company has formed nearly 100,000 spindles of cotton spinning capacity, absorbing more than 500 local employees.November 12, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping's visit to Vietnam, witnessed the signing of the “Sino-Vietnamese production capacity cooperation project list of the Memorandum of Understanding”, Yulon Textile Dyeing Project is included in the “Sino-Vietnamese production capacity cooperation project list”.November 17, 2017, Taizhou (Vietnam) On November 17, 2017, Taizhou (Vietnam) “Going Out” Promotion Conference was held in Hanoi, Vietnam, and the leaders of Taizhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government fully affirmed Yulun's experience of “going out” to run successful factories.

  Yulon has gradually established a headquarters economy model of “headquartered in Jingjiang, operating in the local area and producing outside the country”. Yulon Jingjiang headquarters to take a unique approach to meet the customized needs of customers with differentiated products, to take the road of “specialization, specialization and innovation”. In the spinning fiber, the development and production of recycled fiber yarn, recycled cotton yarn, spinning yarn, cotton blended yarn, organic cotton yarn, good cotton yarn and other specialty products of different fibers; in the spinning technology, the development of compact spinning, cyclo-spinning, bamboo yarn, strong twisted yarn, backhanded yarns and other new types of spinning yarns, to avoid excessive competition in the market of conventional products, to avoid the same with the products of the company in Vietnam, to ensure that the Department of the characteristics of the company. Vietnam Company utilizes the international raw material market advantage and manpower advantage to produce high quality yarn for bleaching to meet the demand of high-end customers of international brands. Yulun Group in the market, capital, raw materials and other aspects to strengthen coordination, Jingjiang headquarters and Vietnam company in the product categories and varieties to achieve complementary, synchronized access to domestic and foreign brands in the supply chain system, to meet the back-channel brand customers put forward by the raw material traceability and environmental protection system to meet the standard requirements, through a number of brands of customers “factory inspection”, to provide customers with credible raw materials, reliable quality and high quality products. We have passed the “factory inspection” of many brand customers and provided customers with high quality and specialty yarn products with reliable raw materials and quality, and our production and operation have entered a virtuous cycle.

  Never stop and start again, never slack off and start again. In 2020, Yulun actively responded to the municipal party committee and municipal government's decision-making and deployment of the implementation of the “retreat into the park” strategy, in the city of Yulun, the company's production and operation is in a virtuous cycle. In 2020, Yulun actively responded to the municipal party committee and municipal government's decision-making deployment, the implementation of the “retreat into the park” strategy, the construction of a new plant in the north of the park. The new factory invested nearly 200 million yuan, according to the design requirements of 60,000 spindle capacity, high standard construction of new intelligent production line. The new factory will be completed in December 2021, and the new production line will be put into production at the beginning of 2022. Some advanced technologies in the industry have been used in large quantities, and the collective automatic yarn dropping has completely liberated the hands of yarn droppers, and the labor force of 10,000 spindles has been reduced from more than 60 people to about 40 people.

  Yulun always implements the concept of green development and insists on the road of sustainable development. All domestic and foreign plants are installed with photovoltaic power generation devices, with an installed capacity of 9 megawatts and an annual power generation of 10 million degrees, greatly saving energy consumption. The development of regenerated cotton, regenerated polyester, organic cotton, eco-cotton products, airflow spinning production greatly improves the utilization rate of raw materials, reduces pollution and cleans the environment.

1944~2024, 80 years of clanging. In Yulun, every yarn carries a story, every warp and weft are interwoven with dreams. From providing military yarn for the New Fourth Army in the early days of the factory, to joining the socialist industrial construction through public-private partnership after the liberation; from reforming and opening up to develop the socialist market economy, to going out of the country and integrating into the international cycle, Yulun has been marching with the beat of the times in every stage of the history, and has invested itself into the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation to serve the needs of the country and the people. According to statistics, Yulun has paid a total of 600 million yuan in taxes and fees in the twenty years since its restructuring, making an important contribution to the development of the country and the local community.

  Not forgetting the original intention, move forward. When the horn of the new era is playing, Yulun is full of enthusiasm to start again!
