“这真的是木制玩具的生产厂房吗?怎么能这么干净?”每当有人参观浙江智木玩具股份有限公司(以下简称“智木股份”)时,总会发出这样的感慨。这家占地1.7万平方米的公司厂房,坐落在丽水市云和县的开发区内,承载着每年上亿元产值的生产任务。

走进智木股份的厂房,只见高大宽敞的建筑,布局合理、排列有序。办公环境空间的规划,非常注重个人隐私,同时又兼具互动交流功能。功能区和生产区人性化的设计更大程度地体现着该公司的开放精神,200多名员工在其间高效率地工作着,企业活力喷薄而出。

德国小伙子塞巴斯蒂安 · 施密特(Sebastian Schmidt)在这群员工之中特别醒目,他是公司的产品质量检测员,只见他拿着随机抽检的两个样品,用仪器在工作台上测量着,一会儿,他又起身跑到车间与人交流,一会儿又拿起样品回来埋头于工作台……

在工厂明亮、现代的会议室内,我们见到了这位德国小伙子。走进办公室时,他的手上还拿着需要检测的产品,步履匆匆,推门而进,在公司董事长陈华左侧落座。

陈华曾留学德国,毕业后在德国从事木制玩具销售工作,后回国创业。他跟施密特的交流并没有使用德语,而是使用了英语。

“因为公司团队之间的交流都是以英语为主,我们也是想创造一个外向型的语言环境,提升工作沟通能力。”陈华说,施密特现在能说点简单的中文,语言表达能力很强。

面对老板的“表扬”,施密特羞涩地笑了,随即跟我们介绍起了自己在中国的历程。

2017年,应一位北京朋友的邀请,施密特来到了中国,跟其他外国人一样,他花了很多时间走访了中国大部分的地方,其中一站就是丽水云和。

“我被这里的山和水震惊到了,非常安静的地方,很适合生活。”施密特直言,更为重要的“惊喜”是当地的新鲜空气和优质生态环境。

在云和,老百姓为生态环境点赞,已不是新鲜事。云和多好山好水,自然风光秀丽,生态环境优美,是浙江乃至中国较好的宜居之地。施密特决心在此处扎根,他加入了智木股份,负责产品质量检测工作。

当时,智木股份的生产规模并没有那么大,那么是什么吸引了施密特的加入呢?答案是公司董事长陈华的个人履历和其对企业、产品的经营理念打动了施密特。

陈华来自浙江宁波,父亲是江西人,母亲是台湾人。在德国留学毕业后,陈华进入一家德国知名木制玩具企业从事销售工作,从此就与这个行业结缘。

后来,该德国企业来到中国办厂,陈华由于综合能力较强得到了公司青睐,被委派回到中国筹建公司,庞大的中国消费力让德国公司的中国市场迅速做大,陈华的个人职业生涯也进入了快速上升期。

“从中国公司的办公室主任到全球总部公司分管生产的总监,再到总部公司的总经理”,陈华说,这个行业的所有岗位他都待过,并且,在他的实践下,这家德国公司迅速成为全球知名的木制玩具生产企业,产品享誉中国和世界。

因家庭原因,陈华辞任德国公司总经理一职,回到老家宁波休息了半年。2013年,陈华来到了云和,这里有着齐全的木玩的生产和配套资源,几年前陈华曾随前老板KIESEL先生多次来云和拜访一直与德国总部合作的供应商,因此与云和结下了很深的缘分。

“这个很小的县城里聚集着全球木玩制造40%的供应链,而对于一直从事木玩制造的我来说,看到的都是一块块木头通过各个环节加工而成的精美礼物,孩子童年快乐的礼物,到处都能闻到飘散着的木材香味。”陈华说,他喜欢木制产品,云和的环境让他感到很亲切、很舒服、很熟悉,于是就决定了在这里开始自己的创业之路,

2014年,陈华创办了智木股份,也将之前在德国公司工作的经验和熟悉的一些德国品牌,以及欧洲品牌公司的合作带到了云和。通过多年的积累,智木股份不断地完善工厂的生产设施,从最初的几个人发展到将近200多人的团队,目前公司营业收入预计每年能达800多万美金。

在生产经营中,陈华也以其对品质的高标准要求、对产品创新的潜心研究、对企业管理的人性化体现而得到各方好评。

施密特对此深有体会,他向我们描述智木股份的人性化管理:“没有阶层之分,团队间沟通活跃度很高,中国同事的学习能力很强。”施密特形容陈华是个运动达人,他最喜欢的运动是篮球、网球、高尔夫。

在智木股份的厂房顶楼,有一层员工休闲区,这里有器械齐全的健身房,还有网球场、篮球场,甚至还有一个高尔夫练习场……智木股份活泼而现代化的企业文化氛围,吸引着越来越多的人才加入。

在公司每一层车间,公司行政人员都会挂出一面生日墙,上面罗列着部门每位员工的生日,并且有心愿墙。我们看到一个心愿:“希望孩子能读XX小学。”陈华看到后随即一笑说:“这个心愿已经完成了,公司已经跟相关部门申请指标了。”

而每一个车间内都会有一个小厨房,每天早上,后勤保障人员都会准备好早餐以及一些简单的食物,供员工食用。值得一提的是,小厨房内归类收纳得整洁有序,展示着智木股份的“软实力”。在施密特看来,这就“很德国”。

谈到外国人和中国人的文化理念差异,施密特表示,在工作中,他和智木股份的中国员工,并没有感受到特别大的中外文化差异。陈华对此的解释是,因为公司属于出口型企业,而他的管理经验和风格就已经较为“国际化”,所以团队的工作理念就比较能让外国员工快速适应。

德意志民族被公认为是世界上最为严谨的民族之一,是一个有计划、富有节制力、有创造力的民族,善于把一切事情都计划得十分周全、十分精密。施密特也是这样的工作风格。陈华评价施密特对团队带来的影响是非常积极的,德国人素来具有“匠人精神”,而木制玩具行业需要这样的理念。施密特工作细致,有张有弛,他来了之后,促進了团队工作效率的提升。

施密特对中国感到“惊喜”的还有中国的饮食。他特别喜欢北方的辛辣食物,也喜欢云和本地的“麻叶粿”,这是他每天的早餐之一。也正是因为喜欢吃,施密特认识了从事餐饮行业的女友,这也让施密特在云和多了一份寄托。

“如果可以的话,我想在中国、在云和一直生活下去,在智木股份一直工作。”施密特的话让陈华深感欣慰,在员工关怀方面,陈华的投入和付出有目共睹,他深感生产型企业员工工作之辛劳,希望持续为大家提供一个良好的工作环境和工作体验。

陈华说,一直以来,他都是把企业发展获得的利润用于提升企业规模、改善工作环境和打造团队方面,公司实力一天天见长,企业环境建设、生产工艺方面也在不断刷新“颜值”。

多年以来,智木玩具由于出众的品质、创新的产品而闻名于行业内外,也因为企业的智能化改造、自动化生产水准提升而让一些同业“望其项背”,云和县相关政府部门领导更是直言,虽然云和木制玩具企业众多,但是智木股份属于较早开始“智能化、自动化”产业升級的代表,是云和乃至中国木制玩具企业未来发展的标杆企业。

在公司,我们随处可见智木股份产业升级的成果:偌大的工厂里,除了机器工作的声音外,几乎不见人影,整个生产过程几乎实现了全自动化,偶尔才能看到工人经过,巡查生产是否顺利。

企业能取得长足发展,离不开当地的创业环境和政府支持。对此,陈华深有体会,他的办公室墙上挂着一副书法“敬天爱人”,陈华对其释意:尊敬行业、敬畏上天、感恩他人。

“感谢政府对我的创业的支持和包容,我充满着对云和的感激,也在积极履行一个企业的社会责任。”陈华说,自己也深感企业的社会责任,每年会去慰问环卫工人,做一些回报社会之事。

智木股份是云和木制玩具行业发展的一个缩影。多年来,为推进木制玩具产业发展,云和县以品牌建设、技术创新、文化创意等为抓手,加快实施木玩百亿行动,努力实现木制玩具产业的转型升级。

据悉,云和当地政府正积极引导企业加大技改投入,加快行业“机器换人”和智能化改造升级,2020年,全县投入机器换人项目6000多万元,完成技改的企业达100余家。

据悉,2020年,云和县木玩行业产值80.2亿元,同比增长0.5%,共有木制玩具企业1095家,从业人员3万余人,产品含十大类、上千个系列、数万个品种,畅销世界76个国家和地区,总量占全国同类产品的55.6%,出口份额占国内同类产品的65%,已经成为国内规模最大、品种最多的木制玩具生产、出口基地。

近年来,云和木玩行业不断加强与教育部教育装备研究、发展中心、省市装备中心、高校院所和幼教集团的合作,加强与各地各类幼儿园对接,开展“云和木玩”学前教育装备规范化体系建设项目研究,该项目于2020年通过教育部教育装备中心审核结题。与丽水学院合作开展的云和学前教玩具筛选分类研究项目也于2019年顺利结题,并于2020年年底开展深化研究。

云和木玩行业正踌躇满志,未来将着力促进木玩产业与动漫的结合,积极引导玩具企业与国内知名动画企业合作,生产动漫衍生产品,云和木玩从“卖木头”到“卖文化”,迈出了坚实的一步。

在发展规划中,云和木玩行业还将围绕“大花园”建设,把木玩童话元素有机融入城市规划、建设和管理之中,使整个城市景观造型、夜景亮化、公共设施等风格设计真正体现童话特色。通过打造木玩特色旅游,结合木玩制造和旅游两大产业,启动木玩童话小镇建设,“采真里历史文化街区”“童梦街”“木玩乐园”等特色木玩旅游项目已成为云和旅游的几大亮点。

云和县还将坚持产业、文化、旅游和社区功能“四位一体”理念与生产、生活、生态“三生”融合的要求,以“木玩+”为核心发展理念,按照5A级景区标准建设,打造以木玩文创高地、幼教研学基地、世界童话主题乐园和童话度假胜地为支撑的旅游类特色小镇。同时,引导企业开发和生产一批具有本地特色的文旅产品,加快打造富有特色的木玩特色旅游。

Schmidts “Yunhe Experience”

By Jin Shaoce

Every visitor would be impressed by the plant of Chancee Toy Co. Ltd., located in the development zone of Yunhe county, Lishui city, occupying 17,000 square meters and manufacturing toys worth more than a hundred million yuan each year. The buildings in the plant are spacious and full of vitality, with over 200 employees working around efficiently at the mean time. The quality inspector Sebastian Schmidt, a young man from Germany, moving back and forth between the test facilities busily, is particularly eye-catching among the employees.

Schmidt came to China in 2017 at the invitation of a friend in Beijing and spent much time visiting different places, including Yunhe in Lishui city. “I was astonished by the mountains, rivers and most importantly the clean air in Yunhe,” Schmidt recalled. “This place was quiet and really great to live. So I decided to settle down here and join Chancee.” Indeed, Yunhe has long been recognized as one of the most livable cities not only Zhejiang province, but across China. At that time, Chancee was still a very small company. According to Schmidt, it was the background and business concept of Chen Hua, chairman of the company, that attracted him to the company.

Growing up in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, Chen Hua started his career in a well-known German wooden toy company after graduation in Germany. Due to his good performance, he was assigned back to China to set up a new company. With their business quickly expanding in the Chinese market, Chen Hua was promoted from the China office manager to global production director and then global general manager. Their toys became much more and more popular under his management.

Later Chen Hua resigned and took a half-year hiatus in Ningbo in 2013. Then he came to Yunhe and tried to start his own business. He had visited Yunhe several times before and knew that 40% of the global toy supply chain gathered here, which made it a perfect place for him to set up a local toy company. In 2014, Chancee Toy Co. Ltd. was officially established. It didnt take long for the company to grow up from a few staff members to a team of over 200 with a revenue of eight million US dollars.

Over the years, Chen Hua and his company have been well known for their high product quality, continuous investment on product innovation and humane approach of staff management, which Schmidt has personally experienced. “There is no hierarchy here,” according to Schmidt. “Instead, communication and cooperation among the team are very proactive.”

As a sports fan, Chen Hua specially set aside a staff entertainment area on the top floor of the plant, with all kinds of sports facilities like gym, tennis and basketball courts, and even mini golf course. On each floor, a “Birthday Wall” can be found, displaying the birthday wishes of the employees. “Wish my kid be enrolled in the ideal primary school,” one of the wishes read. “At least, we have helped achieve this wish with the support of the local government,” Chen smiled. Besides, all workshops are equipped with small kitchens to provide breakfast and snacks for the workers. To Schmidt, all of these are very “German” and have drawn more and more outstanding people to Chancee.

The Germans are generally believed to be among the most rigorous and disciplined. Schmidt is no exception. “Craftsmanship is extremely important for the wooden toy industry,” Chen said. “After Schmidt came on board, he has improved the team very positively.”

Apart from Yunhes beautiful landscape, Chinese food is another favorite of Schmidts. More interestingly, it was also the Chinese food that gave him a chance to meet her girlfriend who works in the catering industry; this has become another attachment to Yunhe. “If possible, Id love to live in Yunhe and work in Chancee forever!” Schmidt declared.

Chancee is also a local leader in implementing smart technology and automation industrial upgrading. It is a benchmark for the future development of Yunhe and even Chinas wooden toy enterprises. For the past few years, Chen Hua has reinvested all the profits to improve industrial upgrading. The whole production process has almost realized full automation. And Chen Hua always knows that the development of enterprises is inseparable from the support of local government, for which he remains grateful and would constantly fulfill the social responsibility to repay the society.

Chancee is an epitome of the development of Yunhe wooden toy industry. Over the years, in order to promote the development of the wooden toy industry, Yunhe has accelerated the implementation of the “10-billion-yuan project” by focusing on brand building, technological innovation and cultural creativity, and made efforts to realize the transformation and upgrading of the wooden toy industry. In 2020, the county invested more than 60 million yuan in automation, over 100 enterprises completed technological transformation, and the output value of Yunhes wooden toy industry reached 8.02 billion yuan. Currently, there are 1,095 wooden toy enterprises in the county with more than 30,000 employees, supplying tens of thousands of varieties products to 76 countries and regions in the world, accounting for 55.6% of the nations total, and the export value accounting for 65% of the nations total, the largest production and export base of wooden toys in China.

Looking into the future, Yunhe was ambitious and determined to develop its wooden toy industry. They had taken a solid step from “selling wood” to “selling culture” by combining wooden toys with education and animation, among others. And another important plan is to develop local tourism through the wooden toys. Several projects have already been completed and become the highlights of Yunhe tourism.
