In the cultural atmosphere of encouraging innovation, the scientific concept of the scientific and technical personnel has been intensified. Internally, the company has implemented marketization operations such as separation of appraisal and hiring, subject open tendering, etc., and established a supply guarantee mechanism for scientific research funds, a technology innovation evaluation mechanism, and a scientific research distribution mechanism. Enhance the driving force of independent innovation. The investment in research and development funds of enterprises has accounted for more than 5% of annual sales revenue, and reached 7% at the highest, truly embodying the positive interaction between scientific research support industries and industrial back-fed scientific research. The company created the first three domestic market share, such as tower cranes, sanitation machines, and saw blades, and the second domestic market share for car cranes and concrete machinery, and gradually completed the industries of four major industrial parks and seven major production bases. The layout has grown into a backbone enterprise in the Chinese construction machinery industry and an iconic industrialized enterprise in Hunan Province, achieving remarkable social and economic benefits.
