       As a successful entrepreneur, he always has a fadeless "national defense green" in his heart;

       His footprints of supporting the army across thousands of mountains and rivers, his deeds of supporting the army resounded across the Zhujiang river;

       The great righteousness is higher than the money, supports the army does not expect the return, he regards supports the army as should fulfill the social responsibility;

       He is Zhang Haitao, chairman of Container Terminals Co., LTD., Shunde District, Foshan city, Guangdong Province, and commander of the company's militia battalion.


       Zhang haitao was born in a military family. His father was an old hero who took part in the famous battle of Tashan. Since he was young, he witnessed the moving scenes of the Chinese soldiers bravely making sacrifices and fighting one after another to protect the safety of people's lives and property. The scene that took place 42 years ago when shantou army and people fought against a devastating typhoon haunts Zhang's mind. At the age of 13, he was shocked by the heart-stirring scene. Many young soldiers wrote a stirring and tragic chapter with their youth, life and blood.

       A few years later, for various reasons, Zhang Haitao, who turned 18, failed to fulfill his wish to serve the country by joining the army. "Since then, I swore to myself that I would make up for not being a soldier by supporting the army," Zhang said. Since then, the idea of patriotic support in his mind deeply rooted.

       In April 2004, Zhang Haitao went to Shantou on a business trip. When he saw that the road leading to the martyrs cemetery was muddy, he immediately donated 140,000 yuan to build a road for the martyrs who were buried here, so that future generations could pay respects and remember them.

       Last year, the PLA women's football team won the national football Championship for the second time in many years. While celebrating their victory in sweat, tears and flowers, they will not forget zhang Haitao, the behind-the-scenes hero. In the late 1990s, when the PLA women's football team was struggling, Zhang offered to lend a helping hand. In March 1999, with the witness of the relevant departments of the army and the local government, Shunde Container Terminal and the PLA Women's Football Team were successfully married to each other. Every year, shunde provided the PLA women's football team with nearly one million yuan of sponsorship fees to buy training and competition clothes and sports shoes for the girls.

       During the interview, the last thing Zhang Haitao wanted to mention was the word "money". "Supporting the army is an obligation and a responsibility of the enterprise," he said. "It cannot be measured solely in terms of money or material goods. Otherwise, this glorious enterprise will be defiled!"


       "Others chasing the star, he chased the army, others were 'supported' the army, where zhang Haitao supported the army to catch up." Chen Yipeng, political commissure of a reservist division in Guangdong, said of zhang Haitao, deputy director of the division's political department.

         In 2003, when Zhang Haitao set foot on the reef fort nansha, his eyes can not help but wet, deeply nansha reef officers and men "eat all over the Nansha thousands of bitter, people happy My glory" spirit moved! Faced with the monotonous life of the officers and soldiers on the reef far away from their relatives, Zhang Haitao immediately decided to invest more than 300,000 yuan to build a library in the Nansha Patrol Area, providing a good place for officers and soldiers to increase their knowledge and learn.

       In 2009, a Marine brigade amphibious infantry fighting vehicle squadron of the south sea fleet participated in the National Day 60th anniversary parade for the first time. Zhang Haitao was very excited after hearing the news, thousands of miles went to the capital military parade village to carry out condolence activities, to see the officers and soldiers sent to heat, sunscreen items and consolation money.

       In 2010, in southern Guangdong province, a reserve force was engaged in a tactical composite exercise. In a certain exercise area, Zhang Haitao did not stop for a moment, his slightly fat body in the heat of more than 30 degrees Celsius heat shuttle back and forth, for the soldiers on a towel to wipe the sweat, carrying a bowl of cool tea.

...

       No matter in the sea training field, exercise field or the front line of rescue and relief, where the troops fight, Zhang Haitao's figure will be close behind where it appears.

       "Supporting the army should be carried out in concrete actions rather than words!" That's what he said, and that's what he insisted on. In the development and construction plan of the company, the reporter found that the company not only insisted on bringing the support of the army into the important agenda as a long-term work, but also established a natural growth mechanism for the support of the army funds, which stipulated that the company's annual support of the army funds should increase continuously with the company's profit. Over the past 10 years, the company and Shunde District People's Armed Forces department, Shunde Border inspection Station, armed Police department, a Marine brigade, etc. Every year, Zhang haitao would take a condolatory group to the troops to carry out various forms of condolatory activities.

       Reserve positions for veterans

       At present, there are certain difficulties in employment of ex-soldiers. "When soldiers make contributions to the army, enterprises have the responsibility and obligation to relieve the government of difficulties and solve the soldiers' worries at home." Zhang haitao believes that providing jobs for veterans to solve their worries is not only to stabilize military morale and promote harmony, but also to reduce the burden of local party committees and governments, and improve the enthusiasm of eligible young people to join the army, which is an inescapable social responsibility of enterprises.

        Every year, Shunde Container Terminals reserves 20% of its new jobs to resettle veterans. To this end, Zhang Haitao and district, town civil affairs department and the army established a "talent interaction mechanism". During the beginning of the work of army officers and soldiers' recovery every year, Zhang Haitao visits the army and introduces excellent talents. From ordinary soldiers to regimental cadres, he accepted them. He has also boldly given rehabilitated soldiers a platform on which to develop their talents according to their special merits. Wu Wenjiu, a military cadre who had great management skills, promoted him to vice President of the company. Retired soldier Yang Zhicheng hard-working, down-to-earth work, quickly from an ordinary worker promoted to the bulk manager; Li Siqi, a military officer, took the company as his home and worked hard. After one year's work, he was promoted to deputy manager of the department.

       In 2002, hu Shi Neng, a shunde soldier who had served in the area of high cold and oxygen deprivation, went home and went to several employing units, but was finally rejected by many times politely because of unqualified physical examination. The district and town civil affairs and labor departments thought of Zhang Haitao. informed of the situation, he asked the company's personnel department to do a good job, and for Hu Shi can arrange the most suitable job. Often talk about this matter, has been a "small boss" hu Shi can always remember. He said: "If it had not been for Mr. Zhang's eagerness to help me settle down in life, there would be no development for me today!"

       Be a battalion commander of the militia

       In 2003, the higher military authorities decided to take the lead in trying to establish militia organizations in private enterprises in Shunde district, where private enterprises are concentrated. In July of that year, The militia battalion of Shunde Container Terminals Co., Ltd. was formally established, and the superior appointed Zhang Haitao as commander of the civilian barracks. "Without a strong national defence, there will be no favorable environment for economic development," Zhang said at the inaugural meeting. Although making money is the purpose of the enterprise, but also can not forget the enterprise should do its social responsibility. To build a reliable, trustworthy and useful militia force is to contribute to the consolidation of national defense and the maintenance of social stability."

       Early days, some people look at Zhang Haitao with strange vision, love "limelight", for the enterprise "guard home nursing home" speculation. Over the years, he has done away with people's scruples. In the militia battalion, the party (regiment) organization has been improved, political education and military training have been carried out, and procedures for the use of the militia have been strictly implemented. Since its establishment, the militia battalion has successfully completed emergency tasks such as flood rescue of Ronggui Dongfeng Sluice dyke, dashan Island dyke collapse, shunfeng Mountain fire rescue, Feigoose Mountain geological disaster relief, Guangzhou Asian Games security preparedness.

       On April 17 this year, Shunde district was hit by unusually heavy rain and storms, causing heavy casualties and property losses. After receiving orders from superiors, in the face of the same disaster need to rescue themselves, Zhang Haitao did not hesitate to lead the militia to the most severely affected areas, rescue injured people, clear roadblocks, dreg the road, maintain the public order on the scene. In two consecutive days of rescue, a total of more than 280 people were dispatched by the militia, more than 10 times of all kinds of rescue equipment, 14 wounded people were rescued, more than 100 trapped people were evacuated, and more than 30,000 square meters of landslide were cleaned up, which was highly recognized and praised by the leaders of the provincial Military command, the Shunde District Committee and the district government.

       Will the establishment of militia groups by private enterprises put additional burden on enterprises? "Absolutely not! Facing the reporter's question, Zhang Haitao's answer is very affirmative.

      Mr. Zhang described the situation before the militia was set up: corporate discipline was lax, economic efficiency was low, money was not making ends meet, people were arriving late and leaving early, and employees were changing jobs or careers. After the establishment of the militia organization, Zhang Haitao carried out drastic reforms on the enterprise while taking the establishment of the militia battalion as an opportunity to introduce militarization management. With his own exemplary actions, Zhang Haitao has driven the whole militia battalion, and the militia has driven the ordinary employees, integrated the culture of the army battalion into the corporate culture, consolidated the people's hearts and boosted the morale of the company, and brought about tremendous changes in a short period of time.

       Every year, zhang haitao finish militia in according to provisions of the superior military training mission, on the basis of the partial organization staff to the forces are regularly visit learning, let the employees experience troops on the fine tradition of hard struggle from and heroic tenacious fighting style, make the enterprise staff consciously set up patriotic, love his army, and his love of the noble moral character, improve the enterprise cohesion and cultural connotations.
