Cape Storm vs Cape of Good Hope, this is a land full of storms and hope. After some deliberation in 2007, Liu Dong, who was determined to go to Africa to show off his skills, did not expect that he would be there for fifteen years. When he joined the company in 2005, Sinosteel's metallurgical raw material and product trade business was in full swing, and it showed itself in international trade, and was recognized by upstream and downstream steel customers and suppliers at home and abroad. Liu Dong majored in international trade and business management. When he entered the job, between conservative and radical, he chose the latter without hesitation - he did not want to disappoint his professional ability, or South Africa was his promised land, where the unknown Prospects and adventures fascinated him endlessly.

Before his assignment to South Africa, Liu Dong had been engaged in international trade and overseas mineral resource development, but he never stopped thinking and looking for the next more challenging target. After the Sinosteel Samanco project was signed at the end of 2006, he keenly saw the opportunity to cover the whole process of mining, selection and smelting, production management and trade logistics, and offered to go to South Africa. In the fifteen years he has been rooted in South Africa, Liu Dong has always adhered to his goals and directions, experienced in practice, and grew up through hard work. No matter what position he is in, he has always found a world for himself to learn and develop. When he first arrived in South Africa, as the logistics manager of Sinosteel Samanco, Liu Dong, after in-depth understanding of railway ports, smooth domestic and foreign logistics, and skilled sales contact with customers, took advantage of every opportunity to understand the details of the localized operation of the joint venture. action. Sinosteel Samanco is a valuable development platform for people with ideas. It includes the entire operation process of ore mining, smelting, trade, and overseas business operations. Liu Dong is this "concerned person". Although his daily office is in Johannesburg (about 350 kilometers away from the mine and smelter), he often takes the initiative to visit other departments on the production site to understand the division of labor and operation of different departments, and go deep into the production line to learn mining and mineral processing processes from front-line personnel. , smelting principle, raw material ratio and related knowledge of cost control.

Liu Dong believes that when working overseas, we must try to get rid of the labels of nationality and ethnicity, and integrate into the local culture. "Business operations are goal-oriented, and the persuasive power of KPIs exceeds a thousand words. Our voice in the enterprise is We won it with our hard work, achievements and unity and cooperation." In order to realize the vision of building a world-class chromium resource enterprise, Liu Dong has many more ideas. Exploring the "trade + equity" operation model to gradually expand the market share; sorting out and replacing mineral rights, complementary development of chromium + platinum; and China Baowu Brothers' companies to participate in upstream and downstream construction... He firmly believes that South Africa is worth doing its best. go on struggle.Editor/Ma Xue
