Labor Day in 2021 is of great significance to Xie Xiaoxing.
A few days ago, on April 27, the winners of the 2021 National May 1 Labor Award and National Workers Pioneer Award were commended at the 2021 International Labor Day celebration and the theme labor and skills competition mobilization meeting held in Beijing. Four people in Baoding City won the National May 1st Labor Medal, and Xie Xiaoxing's name was on the list.
Faced with heavy honor, this former welder, Xie Xiaoxing, who is currently the deputy director of the vehicle business department of Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Great Wall Motor), said, "This is not only an affirmation of me but also a spur. I will continue to work hard step by step, nor will I stop the pace of innovation. Thanks to the company for its cultivation of me, I will not forget my original intention and work hard."
quietly degenerates, and ordinary jobs have great achievements.
Time goes back 13 years ago. In 2008, Xie Xiaoxing, who had not graduated, entered Great Wall Motors for an internship by chance. When he first entered the factory, he thought that "there is a big difference between learning theoretical knowledge and practical operation."
But Xie Xiaoxing was not discouraged, but was inspired to fight. After the internship, Xie Xiaoxing, who is a professional in using automobile technology, officially joined Great Wall Motors with his dream and started his 13-year work journey.
At that time, Xie Xiaoxing was just an ordinary welder. "The factory has only more than 20,000 employees, and the degree of mechanical intelligence is low. Many operations need to be completed manually. The vehicle's push even requires human operation." Xie Xiaoxing still remembers the appearance of the work workshop back then. Starting from ordinary welding, one step at a time, two years of basic work have polished Xie Xiaoxing's hard-working spirit.
Repeat one thing, you will always be specialized and refined, but the times are developing so fast that if you stop a little, you will be left behind. In 2012, Xie Xiaoxing realized that he should go to the workshop where he appeared and continue to learn new skills in depth. Without a master's teaching, he started with theoretical knowledge and studied it himself. The knowledge you get from paper is always shallow, and practice is the key to breakthrough. Xie Xiaoxing applied the knowledge he learned to daily operations, and his skills were quickly improved.
The employee promotion mechanism formulated by the company provides Xie Xiaoxing with the opportunity to show his skills. In a year, Xie Xiaoxing was promoted from technician to leader of the workshop technical team, and then became the head of the body precision department of the vehicle business department. As the position improves, the pressure increases.

"This won't work!" Xie Xiaoxing, who realized that his ability was limited, chose to continue his studies very decisively in 2013. Obtain adult education exams and continuously learn new theoretical knowledge.
works and learns while working, and the double pressure has not defeated Xie Xiaoxing. After further study, as if you open up the Ren and Du meridians of the body, various knowledge and skills are applied to actual operations, making your work more handy and easy.
At this time, Xie Xiaoxing had become the deputy director of the body precision department of the vehicle business department.
crisis is also an opportunity. Facing difficulties
In 2020, when the company's operations are facing great cost pressure, Xie Xiaoxing regards the crisis as an opportunity and leads the team to carry out "reduce waste and increase value" work in all aspects, and carries out 175 innovation and improvement projects, with a total annual cumulative effect of 23.7343 million yuan. At the same time, in order to strengthen the prevention and control of production and quality operation risks, he and his team jointly promoted the "Idle Asset Utilization Value" project, through the merger of the production methods of the South Line and Haval, the production model was changed, and the personnel in the cooperative industry saved an average of 690,000 yuan per month, and the annual cumulative income was about 8.46 million yuan.
Not only that, Xie Xiaoxing also maximizes asset value through innovation in his operation model, and the "robot" partially replaces human work. This item alone generates a total of 26.08 million yuan in annual revenue, achieving a win-win situation in the quality and efficiency of the company's products.

Behind the amazing data is Xie Xiaoxing's continuous efforts to improve his work. "He never has the word 'almost' in his dictionary, and he is very serious." This is what his colleague Zhu Jiangtao evaluates his work.
No component can have flaws, this is his requirement for himself. In order to overcome the technical difficulties, he could work overtime until late at night.Now he has achieved his "snap" bit by bit.
keeps up with the pace of the times, and keeps innovating
"make a little bit every day". The corporate culture engraved at the entrance of the factory has been engraved into the hearts of all Great Wall people. The development of Great Wall Motors is also inseparable from the persistence and efforts of "making a little progress every day".
As 5G technology and AI, cloud computing and other technologies continue to mature, the degree of intelligence in factory workshops continues to increase. "Now, no one needs to participate in the car consignment and welding work, and it is all mechanized." Looking at the changes in the factory, Xie Xiaoxing was both happy and emotional. That time he was engaged in welding was extremely precious to him.

Today, Baoding Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. is no longer the same as before. Its employees have increased by more than 3 times from more than 20,000 in 2008. More outstanding talents are added to inject fresh blood into the company.
Today, in the field of intelligence, more than 45% of Great Wall Motors have begun to be equipped with L2 intelligent driving technology. WEY and Ora brand models have achieved full coverage of Internet of Vehicles, and nearly 60% of the models of the Haval brand are connected vehicles. According to the plan, by 2021, Great Wall Motor will no longer produce non-connected cars.
In addition, L3-level autonomous driving based on Great Wall Motor's "Coffee Intelligent" system adopts an expandable architecture and will continue to iterate from 2021 and will grow into L4 or even higher-level autonomous driving in the future.
The blessing of good policies increases innovation motivation for enterprises. In 2021, among the five key areas of "medical, automotive, electricity, digital, and tourism" that Baoding City focuses on, automobiles and related fields will become the focus. Lianchi District where Great Wall Motors is located is also paying more attention to Xie Xiaoxing and his industry colleagues, and is constantly increasing support for industrial clusters including Great Wall Motors. This is a major opportunity in Xie Xiaoxing's view.
"Now, we are increasing research on hydrogen energy and trams, and vigorously advocate the replacement of fuel consumption with clean energy. What we are currently studying is consistent with the direction of urban development, which is a good thing for our automotive industry workers." Xie Xiaoxing is looking forward to it for the future.
