On August 22, Mr. Xu Jianwen, founder of Jiehuan Technology, Jiesheng New Materials, and Dongfang Hook & Loop, took the stage as a key representative of the Northern Seiwajyuku to deliver a speech titled "A Change of Heart—All Management is Transformable." He shared with the assembled entrepreneurs his practical approach to driving corporate reform and upgrading the industry through philosophical co-cultivation. This speech not only revealed the core secret to breaking through development bottlenecks but also provided an innovative and highly valuable model for the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing sector.
Since joining Seiwajyuku in 2018, Xu Jianwen has led his team in incorporating Inamori Kazuo’s classic works, including Kyocera Philosophy, A Living Way, A Working Way, and The Six Practices, into the company’s curriculum. A formalized learning system has been established, including a 15-minute collective reading session during daily morning meetings, weekly philosophical discussions for management, and monthly experience-sharing sessions for all employees. "We require every employee, from the production line worker to the executive, to deeply understand the philosophical starting point of 'what is the right thing to do as a human being,'" Xu emphasized in his speech.
Through three years of deep practice, the company has built a unique "Dual Happiness" management model:
Material Happiness: A company-wide profit-sharing plan was implemented, leading to a 30% increase in annual salaries for key technical staff and a reduction in the turnover rate of frontline workers from 25% to 8%.
Spiritual Happiness: The "Philosophical Practice Award" was established to encourage employees to integrate the Six Practices into their daily work. In 2024, employees independently proposed 87 improvement cases, generating direct economic benefits of over 2 million yuan.
"When employees truly understand 'making an effort that is second to none,' quality control becomes a voluntary action," Xu Jianwen said, using the hook and loop fastener industry as an example to explain how the technical team was able to spark innovation through philosophical co-cultivation. The third-generation eco-friendly recycled hook and loop fastener launched in 2024, after SGS testing, showed a 100% improvement in weather resistance and has successfully entered the supply chains of companies like Huawei, BYD, DJO, and SKG.
Data shows that key performance indicators for the company have significantly improved after implementing Inamori’s philosophy:
Product yield rate increased from 92% to 98.7%.
Customer complaint rate decreased by 67%.
R&D investment ratio increased from 3.2% to 6.8%.
Overseas market revenue share surpassed 30%.
In response to the current "big but not strong" state of China's hook and loop fastener industry, Xu Jianwen proposed a "three-step" strategy:
Standard Creation: Formulate the "Group Standard for Eco-friendly Hook and Loop Fasteners," filling a gap in the domestic market.
Technological Breakthroughs: Establish a national-level new materials laboratory to focus on breakthroughs in microfiber weaving technology.
Global Expansion: Set up production bases in Vietnam and Mexico to build a "4-hour supply chain ecosystem."
"Our vision is to let the global hook and loop fastener market see the new heights of 'Made in China' innovation."
Wang Zhenyu, President of the Northern Seiwajyuku, commented, "The practice of Xu Jianwen's team proves that Inamori's philosophy is not a theoretical construct but can be transformed into tangible productivity. Especially in traditional manufacturing, this model of combining altruism with technological innovation provides a completely new approach for industry transformation and upgrading."
This 60-minute speech was not only a vivid interpretation of the Seiwajyuku's motto, "Elevate the mind, expand the business," but also a typical example of Chinese private enterprises driving high-quality development through philosophy. When the promise "To establish a Chinese benchmark for the global hook and loop fastener industry" appeared on the large screen, all the entrepreneurs in the venue stood up in tribute—this was not just an acknowledgement of Xu Jianwen's team but also an expression of hope for the new possibilities of Chinese manufacturing.
Appendix: Golden Quotes from the Speech
"Profit is a byproduct; true purpose is happiness."
"When 80 employees all become managers, the company will have 80 engines of wisdom."
"For China's hook and loop fasteners to achieve the leap from 'follower' to 'definer,' a revolution in our way of thinking must come first."
