Embrace the Big Picture and Build Dreams
Steer the Wheel and Break through the Waves. General Secretary Xi Jinping once emphasized in his speech at the Symposium on Private Enterprises that "China's private economy has become an indispensable force to drive our country's development. It has become the main field of entrepreneurship and employment, an important subject of technological innovation, and a significant source of national tax revenue, playing an important role in promoting the development of China's socialist market economy, government function transformation, rural surplus labor transfer, and international market development." Huanghe Whirlwind is a leading manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of high-quality and stable superhard materials, including carbon-based materials and products, cultivated diamonds, superhard materials and polycrystalline composite material products, superhard tools, and metal powders. As an outstanding private enterprise, the employees of Huanghe Whirlwind have shown great innovation consciousness and perseverance in their struggle for their dreams. They have made enormous contributions to promoting the economic and social development of Henan through hard work and constant innovation.
Superhard Materials
Fortresses may be silent, but they can gather tremendous strength; flags may be soundless, but they can inspire boundless fighting spirit. The Huanghe Whirlwind Party Committee was established in 1994 and currently has 18 party branches and 545 party members. The company's party committee always adheres to the concept that building the party is building development and that developing the party is necessary for promoting high-quality development. It uses high-quality party building to lead high-quality enterprise development.
For a long time, the enterprise has firmly adhered to the principle that party branches should be the main leaders, achieving standardized construction of positions; party members should be the core force, achieving regularity of party activities; high-quality development should be the fundamental goal, achieving standardized construction of systems; and party history learning and education should be the opportunity, achieving the characteristics of activity carriers. Its goal is to maximize funding guarantees while focusing on the center.
In party building work, all party members and cadres have a high enthusiasm for learning, always holding the feeling of "learning as if not reaching it is feared to lose it." The party committee members strictly implement the "dual responsibility system," take the lead in studying party history and giving party lectures; ordinary party members actively self-study and conduct collective research, improving their political and theoretical cultivation through study and research; and the broad party members forge their own awareness of strictly following the discipline of the party's political life through learning and practical activities such as visiting revolutionary bases.
The party committee also uses Internet platforms, knowledge display boards, and other forms to publish and promote party theory knowledge and revolutionary stories, creating a strong atmosphere for learning and education. The party committee has also used the "hard work" of party building to continuously strengthen the party's team and build a healthy body. In the first half of this year, 30 probationary party members were promoted on time, and the development and democratic evaluation work of 45 probationary party members was completed, promoting the continuous growth and strength of the enterprise's party organization. Through its party building work, Huanghe Whirlwind has achieved a win-win situation for party building and development, promoting the company's new leap-forward development.
Cultivating a Diamond Team
If high-quality party building work is the foundation for creating a model enterprise with harmonious labor relations, then abiding by rules and regulations and safeguarding workers' rights in accordance with the law effectively provide a "protective shield" for creating a model enterprise with harmonious labor relations.
Prosper with Talent, Flourish with Talent
To build harmonious labor relations, it is necessary to solve the most concerning, direct, and realistic issues of workers, as well as the fundamental interests between enterprises and employees, and fully respect and care for workers, mobilizing and stimulating the enthusiasm and creativity of all workers. Only in this way can the enterprise truly become a community of shared interests, shared endeavors, and shared destinies, maintain harmonious development of labor relations, and promote social harmony and stability.
In the first half of this year, Huanghe Whirlwind completed the update of national labor model information on the mobile end in Xuchang City and made the advanced individuals registered in the "detailed account" process.

Skills Competition to Promote Advancement
At the "Huanghe Whirlwind 2022 Business Mobilization Meeting," Chairman Pang Wenlong emphasized that the company must firmly adhere to the development policy of "seeking progress while maintaining stability and focusing on the main business," focus on the main business of superhard materials, and implement a customer-centric, market-oriented approach to technological innovation. The company should also implement the "pillar and seedling" plan, introduce high-end talent, improve safety and quality management systems, optimize business management systems, and through various mechanisms, stimulate the enthusiasm of all employees to start businesses and ensure the successful completion of various business targets for 2022.
Technology is productivity, and talent is also productivity. As the chairman steering the company, Pang Wenlong places the importance of talent in a top position. Currently, a technical innovation team led by Dr. Wang Yuchang and Dr. Wu Xiwang has been formed.
