向世界庄严承诺

A solemn promise to the world

周兴和步履沉重地走进厂区。

Zhou Xinghe walked heavily into the factory.

天色阴霾，满目凄凉，整个厂区没有一丝生气。往日热闹的工作场面已经不复存在，厂区内，杂草丛生，垃圾成堆，设备生锈，厂房破碎。他一步一步走到车间门口，车间房檐下竟然突地钻出两只老鸦，惊惶地飞向屋顶。周兴和两月没到厂里来，连鸟都在这里做窝了。

The sky was overcast and bleak, and the whole factory was spiritless. The bustling work scene in the past no longer existed. In the factory, the weeds were overgrown, garbage piled up, equipment rusted and workshop was broken. He walked to the door of the workshop step by step. Under the eaves of the workshop, two crows emerged unexpectedly and flew to the roof in fright. Zhou Xinghe had not been to the factory for two months, and even birds were making nests there.

厂里的生产几乎已经瘫痪。

Production in the factory was almost at a standstill.

人倒霉，就连老鸦也赶来凑热闹么！

Unlucky people, even the crows also came to join in the fun!

看着眼前的一切，周兴和感到身上的伤口又在隐隐作痛——不，他心里的伤口更是痛楚。就是因为妻子与他的分道扬镳，让他十几年的心血和努力，将要付诸东流；就因为那致命的几刀，让他不能过问厂里的事，他的企业几乎就要倒闭了！

Looking at everything in front of him, Zhou Xinghe felt that the wound on his body was aching again - no, the wound in his heart was more painful. It was because of the divorce between his wife and him, which would let his efforts over ten years be in vain; because of the fatal cuts, he could not intervene the affairs in the factory, and his business was almost closed!

从死亡中挣扎出来，周兴和人刚清醒一点，除了对于凶手的愤恨和对妻子的寒心外，他担心的就是为之奋斗了大半生的事业，由于他的伤残，就此终结。因为他知道，只要他一倒下，树倒猢狲散，企业将不复存在；他的发明专利，也将被假冒李逵的李鬼们取代。据他所知，在他和妻子闹矛盾期间，整个建材市场上，侵权和仿冒他产品的厂家已经达到300余家，而今只要他被杀住院、生死未卜的消息传出，不知又会冒出来多少厂家来！

Struggling from death, when Zhou Xinghe was just sober a little bit, besides the hatred to the murderer and the disappointment to his wife, what he worries about was the career that he had struggled for most of his life, which might end because of his disability. For he knew that if he fell down, his business would cease to exist; his invention patent would also be replaced by the counterfeits. As far as he knew, during the contradiction operiod between he and his wife, in whole building materials market, the manufacturers infringing and copying his product already amounted to more than 300, and now if the message that he was stabbed and hospitalized spread out, there must be more counterfeit manufacturers!

“周厂长，你来了？”厂里看门的陈大爷不知从什么地方冒了出来，关切地问他，“你的伤好利索了吗？”

"Director Zhou, you're here?" Uncle Chen, the janitor, appeared out of nowhere and asked him solicitously, "How’s your wound?"

“好多了。”周兴和问，“厂里已经好长时间不生产了么？”

"Much better." Asked Zhou Xinghe, "Has the factory been out of production for a long time?"

“你住院后，基本就没有生产了。”陈大爷回答。

"When you were in the hospital, it basically stopped production." Replied Uncle Chen.

“那厂里的人呢？”

"What about the people of the factory?"

“人哪？”陈大爷停了停，叹了口气，“有点本事的人，都被其他厂挖走了；没有本事的，怕你回不来，做了事拿不到工资，都另外去找事干去了。”

"The people?" Uncle Chen paused and sighed, "People who have some skills have been poached by other factories. People who have no skills, are afraid that you can't come back, and they can't get paid, so they go to find something else to do."

“那你为啥没有走呢？”

"Then why didn't you go?"

“你给我讲过，我的职责是看门。”陈大爷回答，“周厂长你平时对我们那么好，从来没有拖欠过我们一回工资，我一拍屁股走了，就显得太不仁义了！厂里现在虽说没有多少值钱的东西，但也不能让别人都把它搬光呀！”

"You told me my duty is to watch the door." Uncle Chen replied, "Mr. Zhou, you are so kind to us at ordinary times. You have never been in arrears with our wages. If I just leave, it seems too unkind! Although there isn't much valuable stuff in the factory now, I can't let others just move it!"

“陈大爷，谢谢你，你以后就是这个企业的终身员工！”周兴和闻言很是感慨。他想起自己的亲戚、甚至亲人吃里扒外的种种行为，不由得心里阵阵发寒。停了停，他对陈大爷说道，“你相信我，我绝不会少你一分钱工资。同时你也相信，现在走了的人肯定都会回来的！”

"Uncle Chen, thank you, you will be a lifetime employee of this enterprise!" Zhou Xinghe was very impressed. He thought of the behavior of his relatives and even kinfolks, and could not help feeling cold in his heart. After a pause, he said to Uncle Chen, "Trust me, I will never lose a penny of your salary. At the same time, you could believe that everyone who has gone now will come back in the future!"

“这我相信。”陈大爷肯定地说道，“你这个人的个性我知道，只要你回来，这个厂就不会垮的。”

"I believe that." Uncle Chen said affirmatively, "I know you. As you come back, the factory will not close down."

天色依然阴霾着，周兴和一个人慢慢在厂区里踱着。是的，只要我不死，只要我能回来，这个厂就不会让他垮掉！走到厂区的围墙边，一阵冷风吹来，周兴和觉得人更清醒了一些。他把这些日子来所思所想的问题，迅速梳理了一下，归纳为三点：一、迅速恢复生产，只要恢复生产，走了的人自然就会再聚集起来；二、迅速扩大产品影响，只要有了品牌效应，市场就能有效地分辨出李逵与李鬼来；三、迅速采取强有力的手段，将维权官司打下去，打官司一来可以打掉部分李鬼，二来也可以扩大其专利的影响。

The sky was still cloudy, and Zhou Xinghe slowly walked in the factory. Well, as long as I live, as long as I can come back, the factory will not close down! When he came to the wall of the factory, the cold wind blew, and Zhou Xinghe felt more sober. He quickly sorted out the thoughts of those days into three points: First, rapidly put back on production, which would naturally bring the people back again; Second, rapidly expand the product influence, as long as there is a brand effect, the market can effectively distinguish the genuine and fake; Third, quickly take the strong means for the legal right protection lawsuit, which can not only knock out part of the fake, but also expand the impact of the patent.

良久，周兴和慢慢转过身来，他看了看几乎就要废弃的工厂，心里除了感到有些酸涩，却另有一种莫名其妙的感觉涌上他的心头。他是个善于逆向思维的人，看着濒临关门的工厂，不知怎么的，他反而有几分欣慰：他相信物极必反这条定律，一场危机肯定孕育着另一场良机，一切从头开始，说不定在一张白纸上更能画出更新更美的图画；这场风波，既让凶手受到了法律的惩处，又让申氏整个家族彻底离开这里，也未必不是一件好事！

After a long time, Zhou Xinghe slowly turned around and looked at the factory, which was almost abandoned. In his heart, he felt a little sour, but a strange feeling came to his mind too. He was a contrarian, and looking at the factory on the verge of closure, he somehow felt a certain satisfaction: he believed that things would develop in the opposite, that one crisis was bound to produce another opportunity, and that starting all over again would make a newer and more beautiful picture on a blank sheet of paper; this event, letting the murderer be punished by the law already, and letting the Shen family leave here completely, was not necessarily a bad thing!

几十年苦难的磨砺，确实磨砺出一个超出常人的周兴和来——那就是，你能摧残他的身体，但摧残不了他的意志。几十年间，他磨练出一种不死的精神，那就是在任何艰难困苦中，他都能做到压不垮、折不弯、磨不烂、拖不死！

The sharpening of hardships over the past few decades had indeed created an extraordinary Zhou Xinghe - that is, you can crush his body, but not his will. For decades, he honed a spirit of immortality, that is, in any difficulties and hardships, he could not be crushed, bent, worn, or dragged to die!

天上堆积着铅灰的云层，但云层背后肯定是灿烂的天空。从周兴和走进厂门那一刻起，他就拖着还没完全康复的身体，捂着时时还在作痛的伤口，开始做起恢复生产的工作来。不到一个月，出去的技术人员和工人们陆续回来了，厂里的荒草和垃圾清除了，机器设备逐渐开始转动起来，那在房檐下做窝的老鸦也主动搬家了。

There were heavy clouds in the sky, but behind them there must be a brilliant sky. From the moment Zhou Xinghe entered the gate of the factory, he dragged his body, which had not fully recovered, and covered his wound, which was still aching from time to time, to begin the work of resuming the production. In less than a month, the technicians and workers came back one after another, the weeds and garbage in the factory were cleared away, the machinery and equipment gradually began to run, and the crows, which had built their nests under the eaves, moved out voluntarily.

“周厂长，外面就是给我的工钱再高，我也要回来！这些年，你都把我们当成弟兄，从来没有苛刻过我们，弟兄们不能不讲义气！”

"Director Zhou, no matter how high wage the others pay to me, I also want to come back! All these years, you have treated us as brothers, and you have never been harsh on us. We must be righteous!"

“是呀，在外面帮人家干那种假冒产品，心里其实是不踏实的。那是坑害人家用户呀，万一房子垮了压死人，自己良心上也过不去！”

"Well, I don't feel comfortable helping others with the fake products outside. That is to entrap the users, in case the house collapses to crush a person, my conscience will make me feeling guilty all my life!"

“周厂长，只要你的厂存在一天，我就在这里干一天！你暂时付不起工钱，就先欠着，等以后产品卖出去，有了钱再付给我们就是了。”

"Director Zhou, as long as your factory exists, I'll work here for a day! If you can't pay for the time being, you could owe us now, until you sell the product and pay us then."

“谢谢大家、谢谢大家！”周兴和见回厂的职工如此大度，再联想到自己有的亲人的狭隘自私，他禁不住眼睛有些潮湿，“感谢大家的理解和支持，我相信，目前的困难只是暂时的，我相信只要我们大家一起努力，一定能度过这个难关。”

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Seeing the generosity of the workers back at the factory and thinking of the narrow-minded and selfish relatives, Zhou Xinghe could not help but feel a little wet in his eyes. "Thank you for your understanding and support. I believe that the current difficulties are only temporary, and I believe that as long as we all work hard together, we can surely overcome this difficulty."

生产迅速得到恢复，为扩大产品的影响，打击假冒伪劣，周兴和出了第一个奇招。他先后印刷了数万份宣传资料，又在互联网上发出了一则扯人眼球的广告：

Production resumed quickly, and Zhou Xinghe took the first unusual step in expanding the influence of his products and cracking down the counterfeit and shoddy products. He printed tens of thousands of promotional materials and then put out an eye-catching advertisement on the Internet:

只有想不到的，没有做不到的，您想快速赚到500万美金吗？

Nothing is impossible to the imagination. Do you want to make $5 million fast?

四川星河建材公司发明生产的五防绿色复合建材，以及其它上千种产品，它的经济价值和环保价值日渐得到人们的认识和肯定，它是中国人民及全球居民共同拥有的财富。若您在地球含月球上能寻找到与星河公司相同的材料，其质量与性能都能超过或等同的产品，请带上相关证据来星河公司领奖。每找出一个新产品或老产品，本公司奖励人民币80万元。

Sichuan Xinghe Building Materials Company has invented and produced the five-proof green compound building materials, as well as thousands of other products; its economic value and environmental protection value is increasingly recognized and affirmed by people, and it is the common wealth of the Chinese people and global residents. If you can find the same material on the Earth including the Moon, the quality and performance of which can exceed or equivalent to the product of Xinghe Company, please bring relevant evidence to Xinghe Company to accept the award. For each new or old product found, the Company will reward RMB 800,000 yuan.

目前，如能找到比本公司更优质的产品，本公司奖励500万美元。本承诺经四川成都诚信公证处公正。公司如不履行承诺，可向法庭提起诉讼，由法院强制执行。

At present, if you can find a better product than our company, our company will reward 5 million dollars. This commitment has been notarized by Chengdu Integrity Notary Office of Sichuan. If the Company does not fulfill its promise, you could bring a lawsuit to the court for enforcement.

这种别出心裁的广告，犹如一块石头丢进池塘，激起不小的声浪。星河公司敢以这样的方式向全世界宣布自己承诺，敢向全世界所有的仿冒厂家叫板，请问还有第二个厂家敢作这样的承诺，敢这样叫板吗？

This ingenious advertisement, like a stone thrown into a pond, set off waves. Xinghe Company dared to declare its commitment to the whole world in this way, and dared to challenge all the counterfeit manufacturers in the world; would a second manufacturer dare to make such a commitment, or dare to challenge like this?

偌大一个世界，形形色色的产品多如牛毛，形形色色的人物浩如烟海，你周兴和真有那么自信吗？你真的相信你的产品是举世无双吗？广告发出后，读者们肯定很关心它的下文，面对如此巨额的奖金，有人来领过奖吗？

It's such a big world, with so many products and so many characters. Did Zhou Xinghe really have that confidence? Did he really believe that his product was unique? After the advertisement was published, the readers must have been very concerned about the follow-up. Faced with such a huge bonus, did anyone claim the prize?

回答是肯定的。

The answer was yes.

2021年9月5日，《廉政内参》第4期第38页“人民心声”栏目刊登标题“我国建筑和建材领域一场颠覆性的革命”，其中第三节（第42页）小标题“愿星河新型材料的伟大发明得到国家大力推广，造福人类”的第七行摘要：“在当今中国，利用自己研发的高新科技成果走向世界的有两个人和两个项目：一个是袁隆平先生和他的杂交水稻，正在解决人们的吃饭问题；一个是周兴和先生和他的秸秆建材，正在解决人们的住房问题”。合乎科技兴国的伟大战略。
