In 2014, Wei Qiang joined Sinoma Overseas Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Sinoma International. He has served as the project manager of Zimbabwe 100TPH grinding station and the general representative of Zimbabwe office. He is currently the site manager of the Syrian 6,500-ton cement production line project, and has won the company's advanced worker for many times. And the honorary title of Overseas Babies Award. In 2019, when the political situation in Syria was not yet completely stable, Wei Qiang responded to the company's call, with a strong sense of responsibility and mission, not afraid of hardships and dangers, and led a team to the desert Gobi to station on the scene.

True character in adversity

At the beginning, the clean water supply at the project site was not stable, and sometimes well water was needed to maintain daily life; it was located in the desert, and the summer was hot and dry, and mosquitoes were very disturbing; under these conditions, Wei Qiang lived for a while. Even for a whole year, in his eyes, these are not unbearable hardships.

In order to control project risks, he insisted on determining expenditures based on income and did not invest large sums of money to purchase fixed assets. The factory area is huge, and it takes more than an hour to complete a tour. He always insists on walking to the scene. After the outbreak of the epidemic, in the face of the dilemma of lack of doctors and medicines in Syria, he formulated protection plans and measures, kept a pure land, strengthened the confidence of employees, and vigorously promoted the progress of the project.

Innovative practice of localization strategy

In his work, Wei Qiang constantly explores the organizational structure of international project management with innovative thinking. The Syrian project is a project that is tendered in stages and is in a state of restart after the war. Wei Qiang continues to innovate and explore working methods. He and the owner work together to sort out the implementation links in the project organization and operation, check and fill the gaps, and propose to the owner many times. The best solution helped the owner to solve many difficult problems and gained the trust of the owner. The owner repeatedly handed over the new construction targets to Sinoma Overseas for completion. Through the professional work ability and the work attitude of keeping improving, it not only solved the difficulties in the project promotion, but also expanded the contract amount of the project, showing the good professional quality of Sinoma overseas people and the strong strength of the SINOMA brand.

Wei Qiang vigorously promoted the localization strategy during his work. In addition to recruiting a large number of local employees in some daily positions, some relatively key positions are also open to foreign professionals. Wei Qiang interviewed and assessed them to gain an in-depth understanding of their thoughts and ideas. resume. The implementation of the localization strategy not only solves the employment problem of local personnel, but also greatly reduces labor costs. More importantly, the joining of these local employees enables the project department to solve many problems encountered locally.

During the epidemic, Wei Qiang always maintained the habit of thinking about how to develop the market, never giving up any opportunities, and actively participated in the Syrian cement online seminar. Wei Qiang said: "Since we are here, we must let the market know of our existence, and customers will connect with us when they know that we are here. This is our value here."

One specialty and multiple talents can achieve compound talents

In his working career for many years, Wei Qiang has done general contracting project execution and localized market development. He can well integrate market development and project execution. During the implementation of the project in Syria, he renewed the contract for on-site non-standard equipment production and steel structure production. At present, the architectural design supply contract is also under business negotiation.

During the implementation of the UCG project, in the face of various basic and supply technical problems, he can always analyze and plan together with the team, and finally give a reasonable technical solution. For example, when there are more than 50 problems in the raw material area alone, he makes plans on site, draws drawings with computer, and executes them immediately, which greatly improves the efficiency of solving problems. Every time the owner encounters a technical problem, he must first consult him. He is also able to provide the owners with scientific advice, which is recognized by the owners, showing the professional ability and personality charm of Sinoma overseas project managers.

Another journey

Wei Qiang has been fighting on the front line overseas for many years, winning benefits and honors for the company, but he is deeply indebted to his family. In 2017, before the child was born, he went to work overseas. In recent years, he also feels that the physical condition of his elderly parents is not as good as before. Fortunately, his wife has always supported his work, taking care of the elderly and children at home. In order to carry out the project work smoothly, in 2020, he once again gave up going home for the Chinese New Year and went to the project site in Syria. His wish to celebrate the New Year with his parents has not been realized so far.

"It's unreal to say that I'm not sad. I haven't been at home for the New Year for 5 years in a row. My parents are older, and my two children are still young. I'm the pillar of the family. But think about the project site thousands of miles away. There are some brothers who are fighting on the front line. As the person in charge, how can I feel at home for the holidays? It’s the same for anyone else.” Wei Qiang said.

The sudden global pandemic has blocked international flights, and the projects that were originally implemented as planned have been greatly affected. In a foreign country, Wei Qiang led the team to adhere to the anti-epidemic and maintain production, and comprehensively promoted the progress of the project. With only 11 people, the four transportation corridors of limestone, shale, auxiliary materials and raw coal were completed throughout the year. The preparation for temporary construction is basically ready.

In the depths of the desert, he and his team worked diligently, diligently, devoted wisdom, shed sweat, deeply practiced the company's localization strategy, summed up a set of practical experience with strong operability, and laid a solid foundation for the company's high-quality development. a solid foundation.

On him, there are many miniatures of builders who are fighting on the front line overseas. Outside the desert, more Sinoma overseas people are breaking through difficulties and obstacles, it is their devout and selfless dedication, it is their spirit of giving out a little bit of enthusiasm, they are united together to illuminate the future of the company .
