中鼎国际建设集团,在海外创业说是故事,不如说是事故。为什么? 说是故事都是很多辛酸的,巨大的自然灾害和劫持还没遇到, 其他都遇到过,真的是从四大美女七匹狼开始,现在我们近两千人的,市场用工近八千人上万人呢。那我们现在在16个国家、在国内二十个省、65个地区,也有建在营项目近两百个。
 
       上世纪九十年代,刚刚脱胎于煤炭企业的中鼎国际正面临着命运的挑战,是被动接受还是主动出击?中鼎国际做出了自己的选择。原来是计划经济嘛转型过来的,煤矿资源枯竭,那怎么办呢那些职工怎么办呢,你要给他找岗位呀。你要给他转型啊,你要多种经营啊,所以我们就是多种经营办了很多厂很多公司,其中有一条就是要走出国门,这个东西你说是被动的,也可以是主动的。你说是主动的,确实是被动的,变为主动。为什么变成主动了,因为主动的成为我们的战略了,主动的成为我们的产业了。所以我们坚定不移转以这种基地出去,那么原来我们是做工程承包,后来我们觉得我们有能力做对外投资,所以我们现在企业是对外投资两条腿走路。1990年9月重整旗鼓的中鼎国际决定借船出海,250多个探路者第一次从黑色煤巷 跨进了蓝色海洋。那么我们总结呢就是把它叫做五船出海。
 
       第一呢,就是借船出海和中建合作,分包他们的项目。第二个阶段呢,就是乘船出海。哪里有项目对吧,我们就奔向哪里?第三个呢,就是驾船出海。有点原始积累了 有点经验了,我们可以买船了,我们自己驾船出海。第四个阶段,我们说造船出海,就是现在我们和驻在国啊,设计一些项目。现在一带一路提出之后呢,我觉得国外项目比较大,那么我们可以和其他的企业甚至央企,我们叫做并船出海,就是整合资源。随着“一带一路”倡议的提出,中鼎国际和所有中国企业一样,都在努力为全球贡献中国智慧。
 
       中国的开放性经济就是四个阶段,第一个阶段是78年到92年呗。那个时候的中国是什么,还是在世界经济舞台的后排。92年到02年,直到我们加入WTO多哈那一锤子,然后“走出去”战略出来。这段时间我们到了世界经济舞台的前排。2002年之后到十八大之前,我们是世界经济舞台上的配角了。2013年,尤其是2015年,我们的一带一路愿景和行动出来之后,我们这个理论慢慢就成熟了,倡议就是共商共建共享。不管是从理论上从实践上都进了一步,所以我觉得”一带一路”倡议应该是走出去战略的升级版。现在我们呢当然是充满信心的。五年来,“一带一路”已经在广袤大陆上落地生根,在浩瀚海洋中扬帆远航,中鼎国际也在区域合作与发展中扮演着越来越重要的角色。“一带一路”倡议它的核心就是命运共同体。命运共同体的基础一定是责任共同体,那么前提是什么?前提是利益共同体,就是你要跟当地的驻在国的利益,老百姓的利益,国家的利益挂在一起。比方说我们到驻在国去,你做对外投资不能破坏人家环境,你要给人家提供岗位提供培训的,解决他们的就业,解决他们的税收,这就是一个世界观的问题。世界观不是你怎么看别人,更重要的是别人怎么看你,这样的话你就跟这个世界能和睦相处,就是我们说同呼吸共命运。
 
       数十载,开天辟地,波澜壮阔的激荡岁月,承载了太多中鼎人的光荣与梦想。他们不拘语言不拘文化。 正在合力铸就一个国际中鼎。做跨国经营和跨国公司,你一定要国际化人才,这是最基本的。他要认同你这个企业,我们在十几年前在国内首创评洋劳模,戴大红花啦,(发)证书,发奖金,然后带他去旅游。让他来讲企业,来讲中国故事效果特别好,一个人讲一句话,比我们百句千句都有用,所以他就把这个企业当成家了,他也很真诚吧。我到中鼎8年了,很感谢我的中国师傅手把手教我,现在我是项目部的司机兼阿拉伯语翻译,中国公司建的房子在阿尔及利亚口碑很好,我有好几个朋友申请到中鼎国际建的保障房。他们听说我在这公司工作  很是羡慕。念念不忘终有回响,我们有理由相信在一带一路倡议契机下,中鼎国际将奏响新的篇章。我们现在是国企的实力,加上民企的活力,加上政府那种公信力,我觉得就是市场的竞争力,把它做成一个国际中鼎,第一就是要解放思想走出来,第二呢就是要积极稳妥走出去,就是态度是积极地,方法是稳妥的。第三呢,诚信经营走进去。你要走进当地的社会民众,你要走进这个行业。第四呢就是质量品牌走上去,走到行业的高端。那么我们如何在防范风险上面要安全健康走回来。要坚定不移走下去,当然这种走下去一定是绿色的、可持续的、承担社会责任的,国际责任的。现在要做成一个综合服务商, 问题解决商,你物质上有收益,精神上你不能空虚,物质文明和精神文明双丰收。


       Zhongding International Construction Group. Starting the business overseas is an accident rather than a story. What’s the reason behind? There were many difficulties. Except for naturel disasters and kidnaping, we have encountered all other difficulties. From having only four women and seven men in the company,we have developed into a company with nearly 2000 people. Market-oriented workers are about eight thousand to ten thousand. In 16 countries, 20 provinces, 65 areas, we have nearly 200 projects on the run.
 
       In the last century of 1990s, transitioned from coal business, Zhongding International Construction Group is facing a life-changing challenge. Accept the situation passively or take the initiative actively? Zhongding International Construction Group has made its own decision. We transitioned from planed economy originally. Coal resources were depleted. So what about those employees? We need to help them find jobs. We need to make changes for them. We need to run different businesses, then we have created many factories and firms through running different businesses. One important idea is to go abroad. You can say that we are passive and also can be active. If you say we are active, we were passive indeed and then become active. Why do we become active? It is because being active is our strategy. Being active is our business. So we should firmly bring our business model overseas. In the past, we were doing project contracting. Later on we thought that we have the ability to do foreign investment. Then we now think that we are walking with two legs on foreign investment. On September, 1990, the revitalized Zhongding International decided to “borrow ships” to go abroad. More than 250 explorers embraced the blue ocean from the black coal roadway for the first time. So we have concluded five stages of running business overseas.
 
       First of all, it is to “borrow the ship” and cooperate with China State Construction on contract. The second stage, It is called “riding the ship”. Wherever there is a project, we would run over there. The third
It is “operating the ship”. We started to have primitive accumulation and experience. We can buy ships. We can go abroad by ourselves. The fourth stage, so as to say building the ship means designing projects in the residing country at the current. After the “Belt and Road” Initiative was raised, I think the international project is huge, then we can cooperate with other companies even the central enterprises. We called it combining ships. That is to incorporate resources. Along with the raising of the “Belt and Road” Initiative, Zhongding International similar to other Chinese companies, is working hard to provide Chinese wisdom to the world.
The open economy in China includes four stages. The first stage is from 1978 to 1992. What is the position of China during that time?

       China was a laggard far behind in the world economic arena. From 1992 to 2002, until we joined WTO at Doha Conference and set the tune. After the “Going Global” strategy came out, we have been the leading role in the world economic arena. After 2002, before the Party’s 18th National Congress, we are always the supporting role in the world economic arena. In 2013, especially in 2015, our “Belt and Road” Initiative came out and movements were made. This initiative has been matured. Our initiative is the principle of achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration. No matter improving at the theory or practice further,I think the “Belt and Road” Initiative is an upgrade version of “Going Global” Strategy.We are certainly confident at our decisions now. Five years have past. The “Belt and Road”  Initiative has took its root on this vast expanse of land and set sail on the vast ocean. Zhongding International is gradually playing the more crucial role in the regional cooperation and development. The essence of the “Belt and Road” Initiative is community of common destiny. The foundation of community of common destiny should be community of common responsibility. So what is the prerequisite?  The prerequisite is community of shared interests. It is to consider the interests of the residing country, the general public and the country. For example, when we go to those residing countries, your foreign investment cannot destroy their environment. We need to provide jobs and trainings for them to address their employment issues, to address their tax issues.This is an issue about worldview. The worldview is not about how to look at other people. More importantly it is about how people look at you.Therefore,you and the world are living harmoniously then.It is what we called the common destiny. 
 
       For decades, at the creation of the world, surging forward with great momentum, carrying the glory and dreams of Zhongding people. Regardless of language and culture, they are building an internationalized Zhongding. Running international business and an international company, you definitely need internationalized talents. This is the most basic thing. They need to acknowledge your company. We are the first to elect foreign model worker in the nation over the past decade. Wearing large red flowers, awarding certificates and bonuses, then bringing them to travel. Letting foreigners to talk about our company. The storytelling of Chinese stories from foreigners can take great effects. One person, one talk is better than telling stories by ourselves. Therefore, they treated the company as home. They are very sincere also.I have worked at Zhongding for eight years. Thanks to my teacher in China who taught me in person. Now I am the driver in the project department and the Arabic translator. The buildings constructed in Algeria by Chinese companies have good reputations. A couple of my friends got the affordable housings built by Zhongding. They heard that I am working for this company and felt envious. Never forget, there will always be an echo. We have reasons to believe that under the “Belt and Road” Initiative, Zhongding International has flipped into a new chapter. We have the ability of state-owned companies, the vigor of private companies and the credibility of government . I think marketing is the competitive power. Making my company become an internationalized Zhongding. The first is to emancipate the mind for going abroad. The second is to actively and steadily go abroad, which means the altitude is active and the method is reliable. The third is to go abroad with credibility. When you want to get closer to the general public, you should get in this industry. The fourth is that the brand quality should go onto the next level, go to the top of the industry. We should come back to safety and health in terms of risk prevention. We should persistently move forward. In this way, it certainly should be ecological and sustainable. It should take on the social responsibility and international responsibility. We were simply a project contractor, however now we become a comprehensive service provider and problem solver. You will have material gains. You shouldn’t feel empty spiritually. You should have both successes in material civilization and spiritual civilization.
