At this year's two sessions of the National People's Congress, the "craftsman spirit" first appeared in the Report on the Work of the Government. The core competitiveness of a city cannot be separated from the forging of craftsmanship spirit, and the driving force of a city's development cannot be separated from the inheritance of craftsmanship spirit.
Adhering to 50 years of doing only one thing, the dedicated and sincere people have achieved the ultimate in the pharmaceutical industry. Under the leadership of Yan Yiyi, the founder of Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical, the footsteps of sincere people in pursuing their dreams have never stopped, and sincere people with a "craftsman spirit" have used their own growth methods to interpret the temperament of this era.
In 2014, Zhejiang Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ranked 300th in the national ranking of total profits of pharmaceutical industry legal entities by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. For sincere people who have just passed 50 years, they will stand at the intersection of history and start anew, forging a century old "sincerity".
After 50 years of wind and rain, Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical has undergone a magnificent transformation
Who would have thought of a small workshop that was silent on an island, after 50 years of wind and rain, still not forgetting its original intention. Transformed into a pharmaceutical giant private enterprise through countless choices and tests.
For 50 years, sincere people have annotated the spirit of sincerity with their youth.
In October 1966, the health team of a certain unit stationed in Dongtou founded Tongshan Pharmaceutical Factory to alleviate the local shortage of medical supplies. The establishment of a pharmaceutical factory on an island is heavily constrained, and the only capital needed to turn the situation around is courage and courage.
The old factory area in the early stages of entrepreneurship
In 1980, Yan Yiyi was appointed as the director of Tongshan Pharmaceutical Factory in the face of danger. The first thing he did when he took office was to use limited funds to carry out a series of technological transformations on the pharmaceutical factory, ultimately bringing the struggling pharmaceutical factory back to life.
In 1984, Tongshan Pharmaceutical Factory decided to take the lead in abolishing the 8-level salary system in Dongtou County. This reform has implemented a distribution system of "those who are capable, work more, and receive more", which has achieved unexpected results for enterprises.
In 1990, the enterprise moved from Xiaopu Village to Dongtou County Marine Pharmaceutical Industrial Park, and the pharmaceutical production workshop underwent a new technological transformation, bringing the development scale of the enterprise to a new level.
March 18, 1994 was a memorable day for Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical. On that day, the People's Government of Dongtou County entrusted the County Economic Commission, Finance Bureau, and Yan Yiyi to sign an enterprise contract, which was jointly operated by Yan Yiyi, the responsible factory director. Public and private ownership truly delegates decision-making power to enterprise leaders. During the period of "public and private ownership", enterprises underwent significant changes. In 1994, the sales revenue of the enterprise was 33.64 million yuan and the profit was 1.21 million yuan. In 2000, the sales revenue reached 134.7 million yuan and the profit reached 48 million yuan.
A more thorough transformation occurred in May 2001, when the company was renamed as "Zhejiang Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.". This is not just a simple renaming, but also a fundamental change in Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical, as the enterprise transitioned from collective ownership to a joint-stock private enterprise.
In May 2013, according to the listing requirements, the company was changed to a joint-stock company and renamed as Zhejiang Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. In December 2014, Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical's listing application was officially accepted by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, which means that Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical will enter the capital era from the asset era.
Innovate and strive for change, with sincerity constantly writing legends
The core of the 'craftsman spirit' is innovation. In Yan Yiyi's eyes, enterprises must innovate in order to develop.
Innovation after innovation has made Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical vibrant. Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical's ability to become one of the top 500 pharmaceutical companies in China relies on this relentless innovation force.
In 2005, the company established a technology research and development center and was rated as a Wenzhou municipal enterprise research and development center in the same year. Subsequently, the company established a research institute and a research and development team, which was successively awarded the title of Zhejiang High tech Enterprise Research and Development Center.
Technological innovation drives the rapid development of enterprises. By 2006, Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical had an annual sales revenue of 123 million yuan, with sales revenue of high-tech products reaching over 80 million yuan, accounting for 68% of the total sales. In 2007, Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical was recognized as a "Key High tech Enterprise of the National Torch Program".
Continuous innovation and development stem from the inner pursuit of sincere people. The annual sales of Glucosamine hydrochloride capsules, a series of marine pharmaceutical products developed by the company to treat bone and joint pain in the whole body, exceed 100 million yuan, accounting for 60% of the domestic sales, becoming the "singles champion" in this field in China.
Sincere individuals are never stingy with their investment in technological innovation, which is the key to Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical's success in maintaining rapid development.
Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical insists on dedicating a considerable portion of its profits to new drug research and development every year, and the company uses at least 4% of its sales funds as research and development funds each year.
From 2015 to 2020, the company plans to invest more than 210 million yuan in Product development and production process technology transformation, and will build a 5000 square meter comprehensive research and development building integrating injection, capsule, granule, tablet and other research and development projects, and a 21000 square meter preparation production workshop.
At present, Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical produces over 60 products including injections, capsules, tablets, granules, raw materials, pharmaceutical intermediates, and nearly a hundred specifications of drugs. The continuous development of new products has greatly improved the core competitiveness of the enterprise.
Modern workshop in the new factory area
50 years of unchanged craftsmanship, crafting a sincere brand
Sincere and pragmatic, with no intention of decoration, is the first impression that Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical gives people.
Every person who has visited Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical will have this feeling that the office area and production area are like two different eras. The office area is decorated simply, and many desks have been left in use since the 1990s, but they are spotless and surprisingly clean. In stark contrast, the production area is filled with brand new equipment that can cost tens of millions of yuan.
Yan Yiyi said that sincere people will use their funds on the cutting edge, rather than wasting them on superficial matters.
It is inevitable that the connotation of a true brand is influenced by its founder. Yan Yiyi's dedicated and meticulous "craftsmanship spirit" has left a deep imprint on Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical. He said that diligence, rigor, innovation, and dedication are the attitudes that Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical has always upheld.
A brochure by Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical has a simple and unadorned slogan that says, "Sincerely serve customers, ensure safety and health effectively." This is precisely the corporate spirit of sincere people. Yan Yiyi often mentions a saying: running a pharmaceutical enterprise should not harm itself, neighbors, or future generations.
Nowadays, Cheng Yi Pharmaceutical has become a comprehensive modern well-known pharmaceutical enterprise specializing in the production of various formulations, raw materials, and pharmaceutical intermediates. The company has clients in over 20 countries and regions, and has registered Drug Management Files (DMFs) in these places. The company has multiple products that have passed GMP certification in multiple countries and regions such as the US FDA, Australia TGA, and the EU EMEA.
For 50 years, the original intention of sincere people has remained unchanged, integrating the "craftsman spirit" into every aspect of enterprise development, which is a footnote to the era of "sincerity".
