Party building leads the helm and sets sail, accelerating transformation, upgrading, innovation and development
On April 12, 2021, Dejian Group ushered in a milestone new development and leap forward. On this day, Shandong High Speed Resources Group took control of Dejian Group through capital increase and share expansion, with a shareholding ratio of 51%. As a result, Dejian Group completed the mixed ownership reform and became a mixed ownership enterprise controlled by state-owned capital, with a registered capital of 1.061 billion yuan. On September 10, 2021, the company officially changed its name to Shandong Expressway Dejian Group Co., Ltd. and entered the market with a brand new name and attitude.
Shandong Expressway Dejian Group (hereinafter referred to as Dejian Group or Company), formerly known as Dezhou Construction Company established in 1953, was restructured into a private enterprise in 1999. In its 69 year development history, Dejian Group has always been a backbone enterprise in the construction industry of Dezhou, and the first special grade enterprise for general contracting of construction projects in Dezhou. It has undertaken key projects, earthquake relief, epidemic prevention and control, and has won the highest honor for construction project quality in China - the Luban Award - five times. Under the strong leadership of the company's Party committee, it has embarked on a path of high-quality development.
Adhering to the leadership of the Party and strengthening Party building are the root and soul of enterprise development. Dejian Group is rooted in the land of Qilu, with red genes integrated into its bloodline. The company's party committee adheres to the concept of "strengthening party building is productivity", takes the learning and education of party history as an opportunity, and takes the construction of "strong party branches" as the starting point. Each branch holds high the banner of "party member vanguard" and "youth assault team", deeply implements the "party building" project, promotes the integration of party building with engineering quality, safety production, standardization construction, scientific and technological innovation, and uses high-quality party building to promote the improvement of production and operation quality and efficiency, as well as the healthy development of the company.
In 2021, Dejian Group incorporated party building work into its articles of association, unifying the strengthening of party leadership and the improvement of corporate governance, further clarifying the legal status of party organizations in corporate governance. We have established and improved rules and regulations such as the "Party Committee Rules of Procedure", the "First Agenda" system for Party Organization Meetings, the "Party Committee Theory Learning Center Group Learning System", and the "Party Committee Member Contact Point System", further enhancing the organizational leadership.
In 2021, Dejian Group solidly carried out Party history learning and education. We have formulated and issued the "Implementation Plan for Party History Learning and Education" and the matching table; Organize a knowledge competition on party history; Organize multiple batches and hundreds of party members and cadres to receive red education at the Revolutionary Memorial Hall in the Hebei Shandong Border Region, and invite professors from the Party School of the Municipal Party Committee to give special coaching lectures at the company; Organize a speech competition on "Learning Party History, Strengthening Beliefs, and Comparing Responsibilities", and carry out theme propaganda activities with rich content to create a good atmosphere for learning Party history, comparing responsibilities, and promoting development in the company.
Integrated development and strong alliance, moving towards better, faster and stronger development
Mixed ownership reform, where 'mixed' is capital and 'changed' is management. 'Mixing' is form, 'changing' is essence. Reform is not the goal, achieving better, faster, and stronger development is the ultimate development goal.
Shandong Expressway Group is an advanced enterprise in the field of investment, construction, and operation of infrastructure such as transportation in China. It has strong brand influence, rich industrial resource advantages, and outstanding core competitiveness. Dejian Group has 22 years of experience as a private enterprise and has shaped professional advantages and mastered the basic skills of competitive development through the ups and downs of the market economy. How to fully combine the two advantages is the most concerned issue for both shareholders and has become a key focus of the new Party Committee, Board of Directors, and management.
After the mixed ownership reform of Dejian Group, we carefully sorted out the corporate governance and production and operation system, promoted the "reform" of management through the "mixing" of capital, actively benchmarked advanced enterprises in the industry, adapted to local conditions and deepened reforms in accordance with the modern corporate governance system, established rules of procedure including the "Three Heavy and One Big" Implementation Rules, the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors, and the Rules of Procedure of the General Manager's Office Meeting, comprehensively revised the standardized management system of the enterprise, signed the employment agreement and term management performance responsibility letter of the management team, completed the institutional and mechanism transformation of the mixed ownership reform of the enterprise, preserved the operational vitality of the original private enterprise, and integrated the standardized management of modern state-owned enterprises, achieved complementary advantages, strengths and weaknesses, and built a support for the "sailing a new journey" after the mixed ownership reform. Continue writing a new chapter with the "four beams and eight pillars".
In the first year of mixed ownership reform, Dejian Group adhered to the business positioning of "rooted in Dezhou, based in Shandong, radiating to the whole country, and facing the world", while determining the sixteen character business policy of "seeking progress while maintaining stability, regional combat, investment and construction linkage, and concentrated breakthroughs". The company fully combined its existing professional advantages and credit advantages with the resource advantages and platform advantages of Shandong Expressway Group, effectively improving customer levels and striving to expand market areas, achieving significant results.
The company's regional market has steadily expanded. The layout work of key regional operating institutions has been successfully completed in Shandong Province. The second headquarters located in Yinfeng Wealth Plaza, Lixia District, Jinan City has officially started operation, and landmark projects have been landed in areas such as Luxi, Lunan, and Ludong. Breakthroughs have been made in multiple markets outside the province, with significant results. Among them, the newly signed contracts in the Xinjiang regional market reached 1.15 billion yuan in 2021.
In the process of integrating into the new development pattern of international and domestic dual circulation, Dejian Group has overcome the impact of the global epidemic by leveraging its brand advantage of being ranked among ENR's "250 largest international contractors in the world" for five consecutive years. With the pioneering spirit of "opening the way when encountering mountains and bridging bridges when encountering water", Dejian Group has laid out in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia on the basis of deeply cultivating traditional advantageous markets. It has successively signed contracts for the P5 package civil engineering project of Saudi Arabia's King's Port, the 1320MW coal-fired power plant coal transportation part civil engineering project in Bangladesh, and the Saint Rose High School teaching building project in Guyana, achieving a transformation of international business from "going out" to "going in" and then to "going up". In March 2021, the Sudan National Club project won the China Construction Engineering Luban Award (Overseas Project), becoming the only overseas project selected by Shandong construction enterprises.
Inspire internal strength, promote technological innovation and management innovation simultaneously, strengthen muscles and bones
Technological innovation and management innovation are like the two wheels of a bird's biplane, driving the development of enterprises for thousands of miles. 2021 is a breakthrough year for Dejian Group's technological innovation. The company is driven by the recognition as a national high-tech enterprise, promoting the emergence of major innovative achievements. Through the certification of the intellectual property management system and the successful completion of the group standards of the China Construction Association, we have obtained 24 national patents, won 96 municipal level or above construction methods and QC achievements, and obtained 5 software copyrights. The path of independent innovation is becoming wider and wider.
2021 is a year of reform for Dejian Group to improve quality and efficiency. The company takes the three-year action plan for project improvement as the carrier, based on the "Project Comprehensive Management Manual", comprehensively implements the contract system for management and project management, strengthens quality, safety, technology, and performance management in all aspects, promotes comprehensive budget management, improves cost control system, broadens financing channels, and achieves a centralized procurement limit of 179 million yuan through financing, saving about 24.5 million yuan in costs. It also provides 534 million yuan in financial support for 295 subcontractors and sub suppliers, and the effect of double increase and double savings is initially evident.
2021 is the year when Dejian Group fully implements project contract management. The company takes project contract management as the starting point, clarifies the responsibilities, rights, and interests of project departments, promotes the reform of streamlining administration and delegating power, and makes the company and project departments a mutually prosperous community of benefits and undertakings. It is truly conducive to building project departments into the "brand center, benefit center, and talent training center" of the enterprise, inspiring the fighting spirit of all employees and enhancing their confidence in development. Last year, the company implemented contract management for 76 newly started projects, accounting for approximately 30% of all ongoing projects. The company's party committee, board of directors, and management attach great importance to this work. Our goal is to achieve 100% contractual management for new projects in the future. With the completion and delivery of existing projects, we aim to achieve contractual management for all ongoing projects within two years, "said Zhao Jianqiang, secretary of the company's party committee and chairman.
Practice has fully proven that embracing reform is the only way for enterprise development, continuous innovation is the driving force for enterprise takeoff, and strategic planning is the winning weapon for enterprise stability and long-term success. Dejian Group is full of hope, sailing with the wind. A more magnificent picture of the new era has unfolded
