Manufacturing a 1,200-ton crane for the Son La hydropower plant project, Director of Quang Trung Group Mr.Nguyen Tang Cuong is considered a "strange phenomenon" in the mechanical industry because he has not only overcome challenges. science and technology, but also a great psychological challenge because no one in Vietnam ever thought about building a crane with such a big load.

In just a short time, with more than 300 technical innovations, many state-level initiatives have helped to raise the localization rate of equipment manufactured by Quang Trung Group to more than 90 %, cost is only 40-50% of that of Western Europe and 60-70% of Chinese products. What makes a "pagan" person able to succeed in a field that is considered very difficult in Vietnam?

"Strange phenomenon"

“In the beginning, the factory produced cranes selling nobody bought. Let everyone believe, buy my goods, I make the decision to sell cranes for those in need. Thanks to good quality, low price, good after-sales service, Enterprise's products have won the trust of the market. From specializing in supplying spare parts such as ball bearings, pads and mechanical metallurgy products for cement factories, until now, Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise has manufactured about 50 types of cranes, including: Crane, crane port, base crane, tower crane ... The successful manufacture of lifting equipment not only opens new directions for businesses but also opens a new page for the Vietnamese mechanical industry, saving Large foreign currency source for the country due to no longer having to import. In particular, the success of making rotating wheels for base cranes surprised the scientific community ”- Mr. Cuong shared.

As a man who aspires to conquer new heights in the field of mechanics, Mr. Cuong always sets new goals to overcome. In many stories about the effort to conquer science and technology, it is impossible not to mention the story of Nguyen Tang Cuong building a 1,200-ton crane for the Son La hydropower plant. This is not only a scientific and technical challenge, but also a huge psychological challenge because no one in Vietnam ever thought about building a crane with such a large load. The level of safety and accuracy for this device must be absolute. A sloppy rotor weighs a thousand tons into the engine hole, only "leaving" a distance of 8 mm, if it is wrong, the crane will deviate, bumping into one side is considered a failure of the construction, is an ear painting. But with the efforts, passion, and the effective support of the partners, his success has dispelled all previous doubts and affirmed that if there are aspirations, wills, business entrepreneurs VN can absolutely achieve success. This is an important motivation for him to "king of crane" continue to research and produce 5,000-6,000 tons of "made in Vietnam" cranes can compete with regional countries.

Thanks to these initiatives, E cooperated with Quang Trung Group in supplying cranes for a number of other hydropower projects such as Dong Nai 3, Dong Nai 4, Tranh river, Huoi Quang and Ban Chat. , Hua Na. At this point, Lai Chau Hydropower was also approved by the Prime Minister for Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise to work as a heavy crane.

It is not too much to say that Nguyen Tang Cuong is a strange phenomenon in the Vietnamese manufacturing mechanics industry because a person who has no specialized training, does not study a degree of studies, has little capital can achieve unexpected successes. There are many ways to explain success

Mr. Cuong in particular and Quang Trung Group in general but perhaps the saying: "I want to make many high quality mechanical products, help the country reduce import currency. I really look forward to In order to contribute to the development of the mechanical engineering industry, because of the lack of it, the country's industry cannot develop "the most convincing." This explanation shows the profound vision of people in the "profession" with practical experiences.

Concerns

Proud of the achievements of Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise in the past period and very confident in the upcoming strategic direction, but in our story, Mr. Nguyen Tang Cuong always suffers a question: Why The mechanics of manufacturing Vietnam are always in spite of the fact that the key mechanical policy has been issued. Because more than anyone, he understands that the mechanical achievements that Quang Trung achieved in particular and the mechanical industry in general are only the first step and quite modest compared with the strong development of the world in recent years. Mechanical industry is in need of many resources and breakthroughs to meet the country's development needs in the future.

He said that the State still lacked long-term strategic planning for this sector, lack of professional and professional investment by specific policies and preferential capital. At the same time, he also pointed out the situation: The general situation of most domestic mechanical enterprises is lack of capital; manufacturing technology and equipment are inadequate, production is still fragmented, failing to meet the increasing demand for high-tech products; With little capital, it is difficult to access bank's capital with low interest rates. The investment of the mechanical industry in the past years has been scattered and not synchronized, and no manufacturing facilities are strong enough to leverage the whole industry. Lack of high quality human resources for the industry including policy makers, managers, consultants, designers, skilled technical workers ...

According to Mr. Cuong, the mechanical industry only really develops when we have good planning and policies. By 2020, Vietnam will become a modern industrialized country. In particular, considering mechanics as a fundamental industry, plays a particularly important role in socio-economic development, ensuring economic independence and autonomy, consolidating security and defense. An industrialized country cannot, of course, not develop mechanical engineering, machinery manufacturing, and heavy industry. All have been identified but when businesses are not confident, no having ambition, not being enthusiastic, not having policies to encourage development support, they will choose easy things to do. For example, a few years ago, they would choose to "trade land" for light head, instead of making mechanical ...

“We still talk about the market mechanism with the management and orientation of the state so the industries that are hot or saturated must have the regulation and intervention of the state by the policy mechanism, avoiding distraction. resource fee. Which sectors really need, there must be incentives to promote development. There have been too many lessons for this issue. For example, cement production excess, there must be policies to limit investment enterprises. The necessary industries for the socio-economic development of the country such as manufacturing mechanics, it is necessary to invest resources, investment in brain and intelligence ... In which, it is impossible not to mention the mechanism policies on capital, ground, training ... In the current conditions, with the current interest rates, businesses are still very difficult and mechanical manufacturing enterprises are facing difficulties due to special difficulties. enemies require huge investment capital, lower profits than other industries, the payback period is also much longer ... This is a very difficult problem that requires not only the intelligence of entrepreneurs, scientists. Studying that of managers and policy makers ”- Mr. Cuong shared.
