Business Card
Zhang DapingBorn in February 1971, he founded the sales company Shanghai Ruizhen Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. in Shanghai in 1999, moved the company headquarters from Shanghai to Guangzhou in 2004, and established Guangzhou Ruizhen Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. in 2018, and invested in the establishment of Hunan Acres Bio-engineering Co., Ltd. and acted as the chairman of the board of directors.
“Nothing is broken, nothing is built.”丨Creating the nation's own national life science brand
Prior to the establishment of Hunan Acres Bioengineering Co., Ltd, Zhang Daping had already run Guangzhou Ruizhen Biotechnology Co., Ltd. as a well-known brand in the field of molecular biology reagent sales in South China. Why did he give up such excellent results and start from scratch? Zhang Daping firmly answered, “I want to create a national life science brand that belongs to Chinese people!”
On August 8, 2016, the State Council issued the National Science and Technology Innovation Plan for the 13th Five-Year Plan (Guo Fa [2016] No. 43, hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”), which clearly sets forth the guiding ideology, overall requirements, strategic tasks and reform initiatives for national science and technology innovation in the next five years. The full text of the Plan is nearly 70,000 words, with more than 30 references to biomedicine. The Plan states that the total scale of the health services industry has reached more than 8 trillion yuan and has become an important force in promoting sustainable economic and social development.
In order to seize the great opportunity of the 13th Five-Year National Plan, break through the technical barriers of foreign manufacturers, break the monopoly of the industry, Zhang Daping made this decision which is not understood by others: to give up the current achievements, and “start from scratch” again.
China's life sciences and biomedical field started late, the current research and production of core raw materials, instruments and equipment 95% rely on foreign imports or foreign brands, belonging to the real “neck” of the typical industry. With many years of experience in company management and a high degree of understanding of the life sciences industry, Zhang Daping recognized that the initial scale of China's life sciences research field has been formed, and is about to enter a phase of rapid growth, which will be a huge market. China's reagent market in the field of life sciences has been occupied by foreign brands for a long time. Is it better to continue to be an agent or to create our own Chinese brand? Without hesitation, he gave up the Japanese brand which had been operated for many years and the lucrative returns, and resolutely chose the latter, and made a prompt decision to invest and establish Hunan Acres Bio-engineering Co. in 2018, which has been operated until now.
“I can now tell everyone who questioned me back then that I made the right decision.” Zhang Daping said. In the three years since its establishment, Hunan Acres Bioengineering Co., Ltd. has obtained two invention patents, eight utility model patents, and three invention patents in the actual trial stage.In December 2020, the company was approved as a national high-tech enterprise.Ltd. has become the only professional molecular biology raw material supplier in the central and western region of China, and has developed and produced more than 100 kinds of molecular biology reagents based on PCR and qPCR enzymes. The company's core raw materials for RT-qPCR enzymes, primer probes and other products have been selected by many IVD test kit companies as the raw materials for the new coronavirus nucleic acid test kits.
How to develop in the future? “Our goal is very clear,” Zhang Daping said confidently, “Hunan Acres Bioengineering Co., Ltd. will continue to innovate and strive for the first place under the guidance of the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, and plans to become a leader in the domestic industry and open up foreign markets in 2025. Meanwhile, the company will build the plant into a super factory in 2025-2026.”
Public Welfare丨Responding to the community with practical actions to help students
One day in 2008, Zhang Daping heard his employees talking about the difficult situation of the children back home in western Hunan, so he had the idea of public welfare sponsorship, and quickly put it into practice.
Over the years, he has sponsored more than ten children in the poor mountainous areas of Chenxi County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province, helping the children to live a healthy life and successfully complete their studies. At present, the first batch of children sponsored by Zhang Daping have all graduated from university, and the second batch of children have also gone to university. “If you have difficulties, try your best to help, take social responsibility and contribute to society.” Zhang Daping said.
In addition to sponsoring children in poverty-stricken areas, Zhang Daping's Hunan Acres Bioengineering Co., Ltd. has been strengthening cooperation with Hunan Food and Drug Vocational College, Changsha Medical College, and other colleges and universities in the city since its inception, accepting interns for a total of nearly one hundred times, helping society solve the employment problems of some college graduates and contributing to the socio-economic development of the society. At the same time, the company takes the initiative to assume social responsibility. So far this year, 4 employees with disabilities were recruited. “In the future, we will continue to strengthen ties with the Federation of the Disabled to solve more employment problems of the disabled.” Zhang Daping said.
Leading the enterprise to dedicate to the society with true love and fulfilling the entrepreneur's sense of social responsibility and mission with practical actions, Zhang Daping used his own power to lead Hunan Acres Bioengineering Co., Ltd. to deliver their warmth and positive energy to the whole society.
