This newspaper reports that, according to reporter Jiang Ping, while the global financial crisis has caused many companies to scale back production, Hansheng Technology Co., Ltd. in our city has maintained full production capacity and experienced strong counter-cyclical growth. January sales increased by 20% compared to December of the previous year, and February and March sales increased by 15% compared to the previous month.

　　Domestic 3G operators are placing orders en masse.

　　According to reports, a major reason for this strong growth is that the three major domestic 3G operators—China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom—recently placed cable orders with Hansheng. "In January of this year, during the centralized procurement bidding for 3G supporting cables by China Unicom headquarters, we achieved the overall top ranking," said Shou Weichun, Chairman and General Manager of Hansheng Company. Last year, Hansheng also ranked among the top in bids from China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, Huawei, and ZTE, achieving the number one market share in China and far surpassing foreign products.

　　Shou Weichun explained that the reason the company's products have achieved such a good reputation in the industry, becoming the number one company in Asia and number three globally in the integrated research, development, production, and sales of coaxial cables, is that new product development and technological research have consistently followed market demands. Several years ago, the company broke through foreign technological barriers and successfully developed cables with independent intellectual property rights suitable for 2.5G mobile communications, occupying a large market share. Two years ago, the company realized that the world and China would inevitably enter the 3G era, so it invested heavily in research and development of cables for 3G, and the performance of the related products ultimately reached internationally leading levels. As a result of this forward-thinking approach, Hansheng cables have gained the favor of China's three major 3G operators.

　　Constructing a new factory to expand production scale.

　　Reporters learned that Hansheng's products are not only dominant domestically but have also become a supplier to top international operators and major equipment manufacturers such as Vodafone (UK), Siemens (Germany), Nortel Networks, Motorola, Nokia, and Siemens, thus entering the supply chain of world-class companies.

　　To cope with the influx of orders from both domestic and international markets, expanding production capacity is Hansheng's top priority. In 2005, with the support of the municipal and district governments, Hansheng relocated to the Xinqing Technology Industrial Park in Doumen, expanding its scale to allow for centralized production. Sales have increased significantly year by year, from 610 million, 900 million, and 1.4 billion to 2.1 billion last year.

　　To support Hansheng's continued growth, the relevant government departments of our city are helping Hansheng build another factory north of its existing factory, which is currently under construction. "The new factory will mainly be used to continue developing and producing new technological products." Shou Weichun said that prioritizing technological innovation for over 20 years has been the direction of the company's development and the secret to its rise.

　　It is reported that, to date, Hansheng has applied for more than 20 national patents, and four categories of the company's products have been rated as "National Key New Products," with two projects included in the "National Torch Plan." Among them, the 50-ohm antenna cable project was also included in the 2001 "Key National Torch Plan." In 2005, four categories of products received international standard product certification.

　　Party building plays a key role at a critical moment.

　　It is reported that although it is a private enterprise, 100% of Hansheng's senior and middle-level managers are Party members, and 82% of its business managers and third-tier personnel are Party members, forming a strong core team of Party members and ensuring the Party's absolute leadership over the enterprise. During the financial crisis, to boost morale, Hansheng organized all cadres to earnestly study the Scientific Outlook on Development, the spirit of the Central and Provincial Economic Work Conferences, and called on everyone to maintain confidence, meet challenges, and contribute to growth and development through practical actions. The company also organized the study of four articles: "Where Do People's Correct Ideas Come From?", "Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains", "Falling Behind Means Getting Beaten", and "The Harmony and Competitiveness of Contradictions".
