Those who are familiar with Tang Kaijian cannot help but marvel at his life experiences. From the military to the "business world," he became a legendary figure in the eyes of his family and friends——

In 1998, he enlisted in the army and became an honorable PLA soldier.

In 2001, after retiring, he resolutely went out to work to make a living.

In 2007, he resigned from his enviable position as Vice President of a state-owned enterprise and returned to his hometown to establish Anhui Xinfa Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd. Since then, the company has rapidly developed and grown, winning honors such as "National Intellectual Property Advantage Enterprise" and "The Third Batch of Specialized and New 'Little Giant' Enterprise of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology". In February 2021, it was successfully listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, ushering in a new era of Tianchang A-share listing.

Time changes, but the original intention remains unchanged. Today, Tang Kaijian has transformed from a patriotic soldier of the People's Liberation Army to an outstanding private entrepreneur who loves the country, innovates and starts his own business, and is willing to contribute.

Chasing Dreams in the Aluminum Industry

In 2001, with deep affection for the military, 23-year-old Tang Kaijian retired and returned to his hometown. Should we stay in the fields and work day after day like our parents did, or go out and make a name for ourselves? After careful consideration, he resolutely decided to go out and explore. Just do what you say. Tang Kaijian went to Jiangsu alone and began to seek his own livelihood.

After applying for the application for Zhangjiagang Xinhong Aluminum Development Co., Ltd. at that time, he became an unknown salesman, and began to get involved in the aluminum industry. When Tang Kaijian first entered the industry, he was like a blank sheet of paper, with nothing and a weak foundation of professional knowledge. He would work tirelessly from morning till night to thoroughly study and understand one by one; Without a foundation in market resources, Tang Kaijian went door-to-door to get familiar with and break through one by one... With an indomitable spirit, Tang Kaijian gradually established himself and his performance continued to rise. Not long after, he went to Suqian, Jiangsu. Due to his flexible mind, in the later stage of his working career, he became the deputy general manager of Xinhong Aluminum Industry Development Co., Ltd. in Suqian City and became a corporate executive. His personal income also skyrocketed.

These two experiences of "working" have accumulated rich work experience and resources in the aluminum industry for Tang Kaijian, and also laid the foundation for his future entrepreneurship.

Returning to his hometown to start a business

2007 was a turning point in Tang Kaijian's life. In the autumn of this year, Tang Kaijian made a decision: to resign from the enviable vice president of a state-owned enterprise and return to his hometown to start a business with several fellow countrymen.

At that time, holding a senior executive position and earning an annual salary of three to four hundred thousand yuan, Tang Kaijian became the envy of everyone. This decision may seem difficult for outsiders to understand, but he has already drawn a blueprint in his heart. In 2007, many manufacturing companies in Jiangsu Province were in a difficult situation, with a sharp decrease in orders leading to overcapacity and the risk of layoffs for many workers. At the same time, Tianchang City began to introduce a series of related policies to encourage Tianchang people who were away to return home and start businesses. Tang Kaijian, who was no longer willing to rely on others, and several compatriots who also worked in Jiangsu decided to return to their hometown and founded a small enterprise called "Anhui Xinfa Aluminum Co., Ltd." in May of the same year.

At the beginning of entrepreneurship, it was much more difficult than expected. The project and funds are available, but how to solve the problems of land acquisition, certificate application and technology?When they were at a loss, the local government reached out to help in time and sent special people to assist them in land acquisition and certificates, and enjoyed policy dividends such as R&D fee deduction, income tax reduction, technical reform and equipment subsidies, triple innovation, etc. The company's development entered the fast track.

One of the common characteristics of successful entrepreneurs is to see clearly the "trend" of the times and the wave of industrial development, and to devote oneself wholeheartedly to it. In 2013, Tang Kaijian established a brand new Xinbo Aluminum Industry based on Xinfa Aluminum Industry. After nine years of development, under his leadership, Xinbo Co., Ltd. has continuously upgraded, from architectural aluminum profiles for energy-saving doors and windows, to industrial profiles for high-end equipment, and then to industrial aluminum components applied to strategic emerging industries. It has built a research and development system based on the R&D center and technology center, and has rapidly grown into a leading aluminum profile service provider in China.

Embrace the wave desperately, and the wave will bring the trendsetters to the peak. On February 10, 2021, after 14 years of arduous entrepreneurship, Xinbo Co., Ltd. was successfully listed on the main board of A-shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Give back to the society

As an ambitious and hardworking entrepreneur, Tang Kaijian always carries the sentiment of serving the country and contributing to society. He has written "gratitude to the country and giving back to society" into his corporate values and put them into practice, contributing to the harmonious development of society to the best of his ability.

Over the years, the company has arranged employment for more than 1500 surplus rural laborers and returning young people, and has also given priority to more than 300 retired soldiers; Pair up with the stationed troops and offer condolences to the young soldiers and retired veterans on August 1st; Donated over 300000 yuan to the Tianchang Love Station Public Welfare Association; In 2022, donate 200000 tons of vegetables to residents of Putuo District, Shanghai; Donate 2 million yuan in cash for epidemic prevention and control and public welfare charity in Tianchang City. As the head of the enterprise, Tang Kaijian attaches great importance to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of employees and strives to do practical things for the vast number of workers. He built dormitory buildings and standard restaurants, provided free accommodation and meals for employees, opened a party mass activity center, paid five insurances and one fund for employees, and provided real money to support hundreds of technical backbones to participate in various vocational skills training. At the same time, he also promoted the establishment of a collective wage negotiation system to ensure that employee wages grow at a rate of 10% per year, with an average annual income of up to 90000 yuan per person, far exceeding the industry average. In order to help disadvantaged employees, he led the establishment of a sound poverty alleviation mechanism and promoted the introduction of the "Assistance Measures for Difficult Employees". He continuously provided material assistance and emotional care to disadvantaged employees, allowing them to work with peace of mind and warmth. With concrete actions, he improved employees' sense of happiness and achievement.
