Dongfeng people are making the Wuhan epidemic a historic signpost on their way forward.

When the sea is flowing, a hero shows his true colors.

As the new coronavirus epidemic spreads throughout Hubei and almost all provinces across the country, imported cases have also been discovered in more than a dozen countries. In the early morning of January 31, Beijing time, the Director-General of the WHO (World Health Organization) Tedros declared that the new coronavirus epidemic is a "public health emergency of international concern."

This means that the new crown epidemic has become a focal event affecting the world.

All employees of Dongfeng Motor Group found themselves and the company in the dual vortex of the epidemic and public opinion. Dongfeng Motor is headquartered in Wuhan. It has complete vehicle production capacity in Wuhan, Xiangyang, and Shiyan, and has upstream and downstream related industries of raw materials and parts in Suizhou, Zhongxiang, Danjiangkou, and Huanggang. Millions of people serve this long industrial chain. It can be said that one move affects the whole body. Any decision will involve hundreds of thousands of families.

At the beginning of the epidemic's expansion, Dongfeng's management realized that this time was at least a battle-level test for Dongfeng, Hubei, and the people of the country. It only took a short time for Dongfeng's management to figure out what Dongfeng could do and what arrangements needed to be made for it. It never thought about whether to do anything because it was beyond discussion.

Dongfeng Company Chairman and Party Secretary Zhu Yanfeng did not talk about the "social responsibility of state-owned enterprises", he only talked about practices. He issued a one-sentence order to tens of thousands of employees across the group: "During the Spring Festival, please strictly follow the requirements to prevent and control the pneumonia epidemic, pay attention to hygiene, and take scientific protection."

It's that simple. ? Of course not. The epidemic is a war situation. In fact, the entire Dongfeng Group has been transferred to a "wartime system" as a result.

"Wartime deployment"

On January 23, Hao Peng, Secretary of the Party Committee of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, told Zhu Yanfeng that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission would mobilize resources to fully support Dongfeng in fighting the epidemic based on Dongfeng's needs. Ensure the stability of production and operations.

On the same day, Ren Hongbin, deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, had two phone calls with Zhu Yanfeng, emphasizing again that Dongfeng Group could report any difficulties to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the latter would provide full support.

These cares are support and tasks. Zhu Yanfeng said that all Dongfeng employees will go all out to fight the epidemic and ensure the safety of employees and the stability of production and operations.

This undoubtedly reflects Dongfeng’s two current priorities. Dongfeng activated the emergency mechanism immediately.

The first is the command structure. Dongfeng has established an epidemic prevention and control headquarters, with Chairman Zhu Yanfeng and General Manager Li Shaozhu serving as commanders. The headquarters implements a dual-head system to provide backup for each other. Subordinate secondary units shall establish corresponding command structures to implement responsibilities to their heads. Military orders are coming down like a mountain, and there is no room for hesitation or "bargaining."

According to the requirements of the "wartime" command system, the heads of command agencies at all levels and the heads of functional departments take charge of the shift, and deploy personnel to be on duty 24 hours a day to deal with unexpected problems at any time.

As of January 29, the headquarters has held 7 special telephone meetings to make systematic arrangements for epidemic prevention and control.

The command headquarters has formulated specific plans to determine the emergency response process, requiring all units to inspect mobile vehicles and personnel, as well as temporarily isolate and keep suspected cases for testing, etc.

Intelligence and Logistics

The epidemic is a war situation. Without intelligence, it is impossible to make targeted deployments and rapid responses.

Dongfeng Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters places intelligence work in an important position in its daily work. The headquarters has formulated a unified "information submission form" and reported the latest epidemic situation on a regular basis every day in accordance with the principles of "daily reporting" and "zero reporting".

The headquarters requires employees of the unit not to believe or spread rumors; to strictly control the channels for releasing information to the outside world; to forward official information in a timely manner through internal media; to push epidemic information to employees in a timely manner and spread positive energy.

The headquarters requires agencies at all levels to report the health status of employees every day, make plans, and be ready to follow emergency response plans at any time to prepare for emergencies. All secondary units under Dongfeng Group need to fully understand the status of suppliers, dealers, and logistics, grasp market dynamics, and provide information support for resumption of work.

The "intelligence" system comes from regular reports from units at all levels, and the headquarters instructs the office to collect, organize and deliver them.

The epidemic is a battlefield. The army has not moved, but the food and grass go first. On the evening of January 23, Dongfeng Motor Group made an emergency decision to donate RMB 10 million to the Wuhan Charity Federation to fight the new pneumonia epidemic. Judging from public information, this is the first donation in this wave of donations from car companies. On January 26, Dongfeng Motor made an additional donation of 23 million yuan.

At the same time, Dongfeng Group’s subsidiaries have shown their talents. Shenlong Company has raised 800 sets of protective clothing and masks for the painting workshop to support the front line; the parts company of Dongfeng Shiyan base, and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Company, Dongfeng Off-Road Vehicle Company donated 400 sets of protective clothing and 900 goggles to Sinopharm Dongfeng Health Industry Company, and donated hundreds of protective clothing and goggles to the emergency fleet and Shiyan Prevention and Control Headquarters.

Dongfeng Xiaokang donated Dongfeng Fengguang 580, Dongfeng Fengguang ix7 and other vehicles to the Hubei Provincial Charity Federation for the transportation of materials and medical personnel to fight the epidemic in Shiyan. Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Honda donated 3 million yuan to Wuhan Economic Development Zone, and the latter also raised 400 sets of protective clothing, latex gloves, medical masks and other materials for use in the epidemic response fleet.

The prevention and control headquarters requires centralized disinfection of office areas, distribution and storage of disinfectant, protective clothing, thermometers and other materials, and preparation of plans. Once confirmed cases occur, we will actively deal with them. The practical difficulties faced by sick employees and their families.

As of 17:00 on January 29, 2020, Dongfeng Corporation and its subsidiaries have donated money and materials totaling 41.1182 million yuan.

It is worth mentioning that the statistics on donations and material collection are only as of January 29. At present, a large amount of anti-epidemic materials are still being collected continuously. The focus of logistics work is to send these materials to the front lines of anti-epidemic medical treatment where they are most needed, and to the travel convoys that ensure basic life for the community.

While trying their best to do all this, the people receiving help may not have thought that Dongfeng Group's production is being severely disrupted by the epidemic.

First and second lines

Starting from 10:00 on January 23, urban buses, subways, ferries, and long-distance passenger transport in Wuhan have been suspended, and the departure channels from the airport and train stations have been temporarily closed. Wuhan, a city that is the "thoroughway of nine provinces", officially announced a lockdown.

The transportation in Wuhan, which has entered the "lockdown" state, is very inconvenient, and cruising taxis alone can no longer meet the urgent travel needs of medical workers and community residents. When more people were staying at home, 1,000 Dongfeng buses were ordered to travel through Wuhan, where the city and roads were closed.

On the 31st, "Autobot" finally got photos from the Dongfeng Travel Team. In Wuhan, Parrot Garden, Huaqiao Street, Jianghua Community (Prison), Jiangcheng Service Station, Anjuyuan, Baocheng Community, Wurongli Community, Sanyang Community, Baibuting Modern City, Taining Community, Yuefei Community, Jilin Community , Jiangbo Community... Although the volunteers are wearing protective clothing, masks and goggles, the smiles in their eyes are obvious.

In fact, the community list is as long as 280. The volunteers are proud of their contributions and the risks they take, and although most of them admit to having fears and worries, all they do is live alone and then sleep only a few hours a day, shuttling from morning to night. 280 communities in Hanyang, Qiaokou and Jiangan in Wuhan provide residents with grocery shopping, delivery of daily necessities and services for special travel needs. It was not until January 30th that many of them had their first meal of rice since the Spring Festival. Prior to this, many staff members of Dongfeng Travel had been eating instant noodles for a week.

Regardless of fleet size or the number of communities it serves, Dongfeng’s travel fleet accounts for 1/4. Although as a local company, Dongfeng Travel’s scale is not the largest compared with its peers. The high operating efficiency is not without reason. Gao Lizhong, head of the Dongfeng Travel brand and general manager of Dongfeng Changxing Company, told Autobot: "Dongfeng Travel's fleet and drivers have been requisitioned by the government. Our fleet drivers, operations team, customer service, maintenance, back-end support, and brand team They are all working, and there is basically no holiday.”

Gao Lizhong, who has a full schedule, plays the role of a big housekeeper. He has many things to worry about, such as the supply and allocation of resources, community coordination, and the health of employees... Every day, these matters must be repeated in his mind thousands of times and confirmed repeatedly.

He faces pressure every day. For example, if drivers have insufficient epidemic prevention equipment, employees or family members may be infected at any time. If the issue of material support is a logistical battle, Gao Lizhong is obviously confident about this. What he is most anxious about is: "With so many employees and drivers running around in the epidemic area, I am really worried that something will happen to them."

What reassured him was the support from the group. "Chairman Zhu Yanfeng said that you should put aside the cost issue for now. If you have difficulties or other problems, I will give you support. General Manager Li Shaozhu came to the scene in person to help. General Manager You Zheng and Minister Tang Teng basically called me once a day. , including the group’s labor union, which attaches great importance to it and also provides great support in terms of material support.”

Of course, there are simple values ??behind the persistence. First, travel is a public service industry. If you don’t step up at this time, who will? Second, Hubei is the cradle of Dongfeng, and Wuhan is the headquarters of Dongfeng. "Protecting the homeland and the country, isn't it our own business? Do you still expect others to do it for you?"

Although Gao Lizhong insisted that he was a soy sauce worker, the drivers on the front line were more It's hard work, but what makes him feel gratified is that he visited three communities a few days ago, and the community directors all rated Dongfeng Travel very highly and agreed with it very much. "It can be seen at the critical moment that it is really different for central enterprises to do travel."

Dongfeng Travel was established on January 25, 2019. When it launched its service in April, it never expected that it would encounter a problem a year later. Such a big challenge, but the current test is that the Dongfeng Travel Team has clearly withstood the test.

The fleet is designated for community service and all drivers sign up voluntarily. "Autobot" saw that behind one of the "petitions" printed with an oath, there were 50 red fingerprints stacked on top of each other.

The driver’s representative read out these oaths:

“I am a member of the Communist Party of China,

I am a Dongfeng employee,

I am also from Wuhan,

Wuhan is my home!”

These words, which are usually normal, seem to make people cry today. They set off in a DFGO vehicle with the unified logo of "Preventing and controlling the epidemic? Convenience to the people? Serving the community" and drove to the community where they were contracted to serve.

Behind the 50 pioneer team members are 987 people from the Dongfeng Travel fleet, 464 of whom are allocated to Hanyang, 224 to Qiaokou, and 229 to Jiang'an, ensuring that there are Dongfeng Travel vehicles in every community.

And these 987 places can only go out from Wuhan because transportation inside and outside the city is cut off. Gao Lizhong was worried that there would not be enough people to recruit, but in fact it only took 30 hours to mobilize all the candidates. There were still some losers who were "making fun of mushrooms" with the team leader, asking to be added to the team.

The doctors and nurses who stay on the front line and provide assistance across the country are considered to be the "most beautiful rebels." These volunteers are undoubtedly the same, but when interviewed, most of them think that they are second-line workers, not as dangerous as front-line workers, and that a little fatigue is nothing.

The most beautiful retrograde person

Xu Wenping is born in the 1980s and claims to be "about to turn 40 with a good attitude." He was assigned to the Wuheli community and was responsible for buying medicines and groceries, as well as transporting staff and some non-febrile medical staff with limited mobility. These jobs may seem mundane, but for communities in self-isolation, they are a lifeline.

He is also one of the few drivers who claims that he is not afraid of viruses. “I’m afraid I won’t come, the risk is not big.

"Xu Wenping said that he didn't become a soldier before, and he still regrets it now. This time, it's a good opportunity. "Finally, I can legitimately make a contribution to the country." "

He lives in a house here in Panlongcheng, and his family members have gone to live in Jiangxia. He does not want to bring risks to his family because of his high-risk job, "What if the virus is infected with the virus? . "

The reporter asked: "Didn't you just say that the risk is not great? ”

Xu Wenping laughed on the phone, “How can there be no risk at all? No matter how you look at it, the risk is lower than that of doctors and nurses.” They are not afraid at such a young age, and neither am I. " He "quibbled".

He did not mention the hard work every day, but praised the community for its good work, complete protective measures, good rest and good food. More importantly, he can do something for everyone It feels so good to do something for him, so he is very motivated every day, but the mask is a bit boring.

He also proposed to help residents buy things and give them to people to do errands. In addition to giving money for shopping, From time to time, people sent him extra red envelopes. Of course, these red envelopes were rejected. Xu Wenping said: "This violation cannot be accepted, and Dongfeng Travel's community service is free this time. ”

Free service means that Dongfeng Travel assumes social responsibilities in special periods for free. They have no complaints about this. Zhu Yanfeng said, don’t expect the country to cover all costs. The group will bear some expenses first.

"Autobot" asked him to summarize his thoughts on the special work these days. He said: "There are still many good people, and this period of time is my treasure of memory. Let's work hard together, the bustling Wuhan will be back soon. ”

Xu Wenping has an ordinary and warm family, receives an ordinary education, and works an ordinary job. In the interviewee information provided by Dongfeng Travel, there are too many Dongfeng people like this. Many. According to Mr. Lu Xun, there are people who work hard, people who work hard, people who pray for the people, and people who sacrifice their lives to seek justice... This is the backbone of the epidemic.

In front of us, all Dongfeng people are proud to dedicate themselves to Wuhan and Hubei. From the chairman to every employee, to the Dongfeng travel drivers who travel in 280 communities, they are not working alone, but are under unified command and unity. Leadership, unified action, strict organization, and under the unified deployment of the group party committee and the prevention and control headquarters, precise resource allocation, careful organization of troops, and fighting a smart battle, no matter from which angle you look at it, this is an out-and-out battle. War is just without gunpowder.

Dongfeng people are making the Wuhan epidemic a historic signpost on their way forward. (Article/"Automobile Man" Zhang Min) Copyright Statement This article is an exclusive original work of "Autobot" and the copyright belongs to "Autobot"
