Xiangtan Online News Network (Reporter: Ouyang Tian, Correspondent: Yang Fang) — On August 20, Xu Yunzhao, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, inspected the Quantangzi Hybrid Rice Demonstration Base, the Xiangtan Tianyi Demonstration Zone, and the Shaoshan Yongquan Science Park, accompanied by Peng Zixian, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Peng Yanfeng, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. During his visit, Xu offered valuable insights into Xiangtan's efforts to build a "Two-Oriented Society," emphasizing that while pursuing economic growth, local authorities must rely on scientific and technological advancements to safeguard the environment and ensure a high quality of life for the people.
　　This morning, Xu Yunzhao and his delegation first visited the Quantangzi Pilot Base of the National Hybrid Rice Technology Research Center. The rice plants at the base were thriving—strong stalks with large, vibrant leaves, and some were even beginning to head out. Li Lubin, the director of the Quantangzi Agricultural Technology Station and a national model agricultural worker, happily informed Xu Yunzhao that the experimental field is currently employing a "double-cropping super hybrid rice cultivation system." This year, the early-season rice yield reached an all-time high, averaging 556.4 kilograms per mu—equivalent to 18 tons per hectare under international standards, surpassing the global average by 2 tons per hectare. This innovative approach has set a remarkable blueprint for the nation as it strives to achieve its ambitious goal of increasing grain production by 100 billion kilograms by 2030. Upon hearing this, Xu Yunzhao was deeply pleased and repeatedly praised Li Lubin as someone who genuinely works tirelessly to bring happiness to the people. He also expressed his hope that the agricultural technology station would continue providing practical technical services to local farmers, helping them tackle real-world challenges and delivering tangible benefits to the community.
　　Following this, Xu Yunzhao and his delegation inspected Xiangtan Hongxinglong Xianglian Food Co., Ltd. and Xiangtan Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. At Hongxinglong Xianglian Food Co., Ltd., Xu Yunzhao visited the Xianglian Historical and Cultural Gallery. He expressed his hope that the company would strengthen its R&D efforts in deep-processing, vigorously promote Xianglian culture, and ensure the successful construction of the Xianglian Museum. He also suggested that the company develop sugar-free mooncakes specifically tailored for diabetic patients, enabling people from all walks of life to fully enjoy the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
　　Xiangtan City Wire & Cable Co., Ltd.'s products are exported to 80 cities across 26 provinces and municipalities nationwide. In the Chang-Zhu-Tan region alone, companies such as Hualing Xianggang, Shanhe Intelligent Equipment, and CRRC Group have already adopted these products. In the first half of this year, the company also established new offices in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia. Upon learning about this development, Xu Yunzhao expressed strong approval and encouraged the enterprise to continue pioneering innovation, steadily growing stronger and expanding its market presence.
　　In the afternoon, at Shaoshan Yongquan Science and Technology Park, Xu Yunzhao and his delegation paid a focused visit to Xiangtan Hengxin Industrial Co., Ltd.—a large-scale ordnance enterprise under China North Industries Group Corporation Ltd., specifically Jiangnan Machinery (Group) Co., Ltd. The company is a joint-stock enterprise established by employees of Jiangnan Machinery Group, specializing in the supporting processing of coal mining machinery. It currently manufactures overhead passenger transport systems for coal mines and has already filed 41 patent applications with the State Intellectual Property Office. Additionally, the company is now actively developing new products such as shuttle cars, winches, and explosion-proof electrical equipment. Once these innovations are fully put into production, the company anticipates annual output value reaching 500 million yuan. Xu Yunzhao encouraged the company to transform its patented technologies into a competitive edge, ensuring it firmly maintains market leadership. He emphasized the importance of "enriching the people through tourism and strengthening the city with industry," while also stressing that Shaoshan Industrial Park must prioritize environmental protection, contributing further to the province’s efforts in building a resource-efficient and environmentally friendly society.
