He was determined to take over his father's business
From a young age, Huang Tianping and electricity have formed an unbreakable bond, the intermediary, it is his father, Huang Weiji. Time back to the 1990s, Huang Weiji from the Guangdong Power Grid to Foshan, an electric power equipment enterprises. the late 1990s, Huang Weiji where the enterprise to implement the “closure and transfer”. As Huang Wei Ji is both the power supply bureau of senior technical cadres, but also grass-roots enterprise work experience, he simply and companion partnership venture, specializing in the production of 35 kV power equipment for the power grid below, for the then national entity to take off to provide reliable power support, not a few years on the scale of the enterprise. 2014 or so, the enterprise land facing commercial development, would like to “for the power grid to dry out this batch of orders to withdraw”. This batch of orders on the withdrawal” of Huang Weiji in Nanhai Shishan town leaders persuasion, or to stay in the enterprise in Shishan, and self-purchase land, Guangdong Keyuan Electric Co.
Huang Tianping
Huang Tianping began to join the management of the enterprise at this time. He also remembers that when he was studying at the University of California in the United States, he once had a chat with his landlord in the United States and found that the landlord was very envious of him: “The landlord said that the Chinese people have something they don't have, which is hope.” In this way, Huang Tianping gradually observed the development environment of China and the United States from another perspective, “To have something to do, you must go back to China.”
“I have also thought about whether to inherit the family business?” After returning to China, Huang Tianping once sought to find out. In the end, he found that inheriting the family business to accept the challenge, more difficult than entrepreneurship, “said to carry on the past, but also need to have soft and hard power to catch. It's a process, you have to break through and innovate, first of all, you have to accept and absorb.” In this way, since 2014, Huang Tianping in the guidance of his father personally planning a new plot of plant, but also formally took over the heavy responsibility of managing the business. When the new plant was built in 2016, the enterprise has long had Huang Tianping's brand.
A lifelong struggle for the power industry
From the nearly 60-year-old founder to the 20-year-old “second generation”, Huang Tianping has the unique focus of the new generation of entrepreneurs. If his father's specialty is to “drill deep enough” in technology and market acumen, Huang Tianping's specialty is to put more emphasis on the standardization and growth of the enterprise. Like-minded, as a major supporting enterprises for the power grid, the State Grid and the Southern Power Grid every year on the supply chain upstream of the qualification review and put forward a higher demand for participation in the review of the enterprise must be in the business indicators, technical base table, carbon emission indicators, management systems, employee welfare treatment and other areas to meet the standards, “to ensure that every year can be 'keep up with the development of the grid', we have to build to stricter standards.” “The management of the enterprise is more stringent, at first there are also many people can not understand, then we will set up a common goal for the staff, but also in the existing industrial base to achieve upgrading 'blood'.” Coincidentally, the initial construction of the main national grid is completed, the competitive environment is also more intense, the enterprise's profitability was once shrinking. So, Huang Tianping led the enterprise to fight for listing as an opportunity to make further changes in the energy consumption and management specifications. Today, the enterprise is closer and closer to the road to market, “specification is the effective growth of the light, the higher the degree of standardization of enterprises, the more beneficial to the long-term development of enterprises.”
Of course, as the helmsman of the enterprise, Huang Tianping is not characterized only by “stars and seas”. The South China Power Grid is one of the most widely used products and services, in order to examine the examination room, Huang Tianping almost all the “electricity” place to go “through”. He led the enterprise to establish a provincial R & D room, has developed a high overload transformer, a new level of energy-efficient transformers, environmental protection, vegetable oil transformers, intelligent monitoring terminals, energy-efficiency management platform and other new products. “It is our luck that our enterprise can breathe with the country and share the same destiny, and it is also the country's trust in us.” Walking in remote mountainous areas, Huang Tianping is often touched by some ordinary things, he saw with his own eyes, the state construction of the power grid can be for a few families can use electricity specifically extended to remote areas. Feeling this, Huang Tianping is also always ready to fulfill the responsibility of the preparation, Kewon Electric perennial reserve a number of strategic power distribution equipment, in order to prepare for the emergency can be the first time for the needs of the power grid for the rescue.
Around the Spring Festival of 2020, the prevention and control of the Xin Guan epidemic was at a critical moment, the temporary construction of Guizhou General Mountain Hospital was in urgent need of power distribution equipment to supply energy for respiratory machines and other instruments, Guizhou Power Supply Bureau immediately sent a letter requesting Keyuan to dispatch power distribution equipment. After receiving the request, Huang Tianping immediately led four senior engineers back to the enterprise, working overtime to complete the modification of power distribution equipment.
In the end, the equipment provided by the enterprise played a due role in the prevention and control of the epidemic in General Mountain Hospital. “To do a good job of an enterprise, will not be the efforts of only one generation”, took over the enterprise for 6 years, Huang Tianping also want to realize their own ‘small goals’ on the shoulders of their fathers - the Kewon Electric Hammering good, for the next country to achieve carbon neutrality, carbon peak make due contribution, “can struggle for the power industry for a lifetime, I'm very proud.”
