張會

“志合者，不以山海為遠”。

2006年，剛退休的日本專家丹藏淳治登上了一架向西飛行的客機，遠赴中國東部小城——海寧，尋找志同道合的朋友——浙江萬方安道拓紡織科技有限公司總經(jīng)理毛偉華。

從此，他的生活軌跡就和這座小城、這家企業(yè)、這個人交集在一起。

13年瞬息而過，海寧變了、企業(yè)大了，他的頭發(fā)也白了，唯一沒變的是他來海寧的初心：“做最好的經(jīng)編產(chǎn)品。”

一分錢工資都不拿

丹藏淳治出生于1945年，在萬方安道拓的生產(chǎn)車間里，年過七旬的他，穿一套藍色、有點褪色的廠服，一雙黑色、邊緣破開的大頭皮鞋，鬢角不多的頭發(fā)早已花白，從灰色的工作帽里露了出來。

他幾乎是每天第一個到廠的。8點半上班，8點不到他肯定已在車間里了。13年來就這么兩點一線，風雨無阻。

“他可是我們廠里的名人，大家都親切地稱他‘丹藏?！奔词乖谝黄鸸ぷ?0年了，整經(jīng)崗工人楊懷琴至今仍難以理解丹藏的這份近乎“偏執(zhí)”的堅持，“自我進廠后，他幾乎天天如此?！?/p>

更讓大家佩服和不解的是，“他是做技術(shù)義工的，到廠工作13年，竟然一分錢工資都不拿?！?/p>

經(jīng)常有人就這個問題詢問丹藏，他的回答總是輕描淡寫，“我退休了，有退休金，足夠維持生活，對金錢沒有執(zhí)念。能夠每天快樂地做自己喜歡的事情，本身就很有價值?！?/p>

如果繼續(xù)問他，“為什么選擇海寧，選擇萬方？”丹藏自己也沒有答案，時間長了，他就將這一切歸于“天命”，“能認識海寧，認識萬方，是命運的安排，沒有理由，自然而然的”。

丹藏是日本奈良人，退休前是日本尤尼吉可公司的技術(shù)專家，擁有40年經(jīng)編技術(shù)經(jīng)驗。與海寧結(jié)緣是在2003年，當時的他代表日本尤尼吉可公司到萬方談合作，對萬方留下了非常好的印象，更對中國經(jīng)編產(chǎn)業(yè)的方興未艾印象深刻并念念不忘。

“當時日本的經(jīng)編產(chǎn)業(yè)已在逐步衰退，而海寧有眾多經(jīng)編企業(yè)，但規(guī)模都不大，技術(shù)也比較落后，無法與日本的比?！迸R近退休，丹藏不無悲涼地發(fā)現(xiàn)，日本的經(jīng)編產(chǎn)業(yè)開始沒落，自己的技術(shù)所能作的貢獻越來越少。

在一次與毛偉華的見面會上，丹藏當面提出了一個請求，“退休后我能不能到你的企業(yè)工作，不拿工資?！?/p>

面對這個“特殊”的請求，毛偉華有點愕然，隨后緊緊握住丹藏的手，“有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎！歡迎，歡迎！”

追求“做最好的產(chǎn)品”

在萬方，丹藏有了一個新身份：技術(shù)參謀兼高等工程師。其工作就是將自己畢生積累下來的技術(shù)、經(jīng)驗毫無保留地傳授給企業(yè)、員工。

“停、?！痹诔善窓z驗車間嘈雜的環(huán)境下，丹藏用不太標準的普通話大聲讓檢驗員停下機器。他伸手拿起面料，湊到眼前仔細看了看，將細微的褶皺撫平，“ok，ok。”

“丹藏啊，嚴格，又可愛?！笨戳艘谎壅谧屑殭z查面料的丹藏，檢驗員張良琴說，“整個車間他都會管起來，看到問題就指出來，然后告訴你怎么做?！?/p>

每天一大早，丹藏會先在公司所有車間里走上一圈，從整經(jīng)車間到經(jīng)編車間再到定型車間，看看生產(chǎn)中有沒有問題，最后回到成品檢驗車間檢驗疵點。

別人的工作量都是按時間或者產(chǎn)量來計算的，丹藏不同，他的工作量是以步數(shù)來計量的。

“他每天在車間里來來回回要走兩萬多步，超過任何一個男同志?！睓z驗員夏媛挺佩服丹藏，“他是我們所有人的榜樣。”

丹藏的工作可以用“細致入微”來形容。在檢驗車間，大家都習慣把剪下來的布頭隨意丟在地上，丹藏看見了，總是默不作聲地撿起來。日復一日，時間一長，整個車間的工人都能自覺地將剪下來的紗頭放置一處，等待回收。

看到工人裁剪下來的布頭很多，他就會拿起來查看并保存下來，開會的時候幫著分析原因，提出改進意見，“這種潛移默化的影響，不可估量?！惫S里的員工說。

13年來，在降低成本、節(jié)省原料、提升品質(zhì)、新品研發(fā)等各個方面，丹藏為企業(yè)做了大量工作，從管理上、技術(shù)上一步步影響著企業(yè)每一個部門、每一個人。

“我希望客戶想要的只有萬方能做出來，我們要做別人做不出來的最好的產(chǎn)品。”這是丹藏一直以來的信念。到萬方后，他幫助公司開發(fā)了一種醫(yī)用面料，遠銷日本和國內(nèi)的眾多醫(yī)療機構(gòu)。

“他老是跟我說一句話，要在中國生產(chǎn)出比日本還要好的產(chǎn)品，而不是為了便宜?！?0多年來，毛偉華和丹藏一直在“生產(chǎn)最好的產(chǎn)品”這條路上不斷前進。

奈良海寧都是他的家

丹藏有兩個家，一個在奈良，一個在海寧。

“我在日本有家人，妻子，3個孩子，6個孫子孫女?！钡げ孛磕昊厝ニ奈宕危图胰藞F聚，帶孫子孫女出去玩，“隔一段時間回去看到孩子們在成長很開心，但不一定要每天都在一起。”

“我在海寧也有‘家人，他們是我的同事們，和他們在一起很快樂、很開心?！?/p>

閑暇時，丹藏喜歡去東山、西山散步，到鹽官看潮，沿海寧大道看櫻花，但他最喜歡的是在住所看書，“我很喜歡看中國的歷史書，了解中國的文化和故事。”

丹藏說，自己的兩個“家”有著深厚的歷史聯(lián)系，“奈良是一座美麗的旅游城市，跟中國的交流源遠流長，它是古絲綢之路的一個終點，與中國的商貿(mào)文化交流有上千年歷史?！?/p>

為了繼承和發(fā)揚這份商貿(mào)文化交流，2007年，他和毛偉華一起在廠區(qū)種下了一棵櫻花樹，象征著兩地、兩個企業(yè)、兩個人的友誼之樹。

剛種下時，樹干只有拇指大小，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)長得比碗口還粗了?！霸龠^一段時間，又能開出美麗的花朵了?！钡げ卣f。

對于海寧的發(fā)展，丹藏用兩個詞來形容：高速、迅猛。

“我第一次來的時候，這個城市很偏僻，沒有高樓大廈，皮革城還是老的，沒有五星級酒店，最好的酒店是花園酒店?！?/p>

短短十多年時間，海寧的發(fā)展已經(jīng)天翻地覆，日新月異，高樓大廈越來越多，環(huán)境越來越美，社會治理也越來越好，這讓丹藏印象深刻，“現(xiàn)在的海寧是一座能安心生活、工作的美麗城市。”

海寧經(jīng)編產(chǎn)業(yè)也一樣，丹藏剛來的時候，雖然工廠很多，但技術(shù)不好，“現(xiàn)在很多技術(shù)已經(jīng)比日本的還好了！”

熱情友好的海寧人也沒有忘記這位日本經(jīng)編技術(shù)專家做出的貢獻，他曾授予海寧“十大突出奉獻獎”，還被嘉興市授予南湖友誼獎。

Tanzoh Works in Haining

By Zhang Hui

Tanzoh Junji came to work in Haining in 2006. Born in November 1945， the Japanese expert in warp knitting had just retired and his purpose for being in Haining was to join Mao Weihua， general manager of Zhejiang Adient Wanfang Textile Technology Co Ltd. Sandwiched between Shanghai and Hangzhou， Haining is a warp-knitting production powerhouse in eastern Zhejiang.

Tanzoh had met Mao Weihua in 2003 when Tanzoh was visiting on business for future cooperation with Wanfang Textile on behalf of Unitika， a Japanese company which， previously a textile maker， was branching out into other product fields for future growth. Tanzoh found Maos business impressive. The Haining visit gave him a general picture of the warp knitting industry in Haining.

“The warp knitting industry was phasing out in Japan then whereas it was going strong in Haining. However， the businesses in Haining were not technologically advanced and they looked small and not so competitive if compared with warp knitting businesses in Japan，” recalls Tanzoh. He felt dejected that there would be little room for his expertise in Japan.

It was after seeing Baos business in Haining that Tanzoh figured out his future and made up his mind. He offered to work free for Wanfang Textile after his retirement， much to Maos surprise and joy. They shook hands on the deal.

Thirteen years has just elapsed and Tanzohs life has been interwoven with Wanfang Textile. His work has won him respect from everyone at the business. At Wanfang， Tanzoh works in the capacity of advisor and senior engineer.

In the past 13 years， Tanzoh has done a great deal in cutting down cost， saving raw materials， enhancing quality， and developing new products. In doing all this， he has helped transform Wanfang Textile into a modern business operation.

As firm believer in hands-on management， Tanzoh inspects workshops every day. The work his colleagues do is measured by time or quantity， but his work can be measured in footsteps he takes a day. It is estimated that Tanzoh walks more than 20，000 steps a day overseeing the whole production and quality control.

Tanzoh wants Wanfang Textile to make best warp knitting fabrics that its competitors cant make and wants clients to turn to Wanfang Textile as the only supplier of best products available on the market.

“He has repeatedly stated to me that China should produce warp-knitting products better than those made in Japan， He doesnt want Wanfang Textile to be a producer of cheaper warp-knitting fabrics，” Mao says. With the assistance of Tanzoh， Wanfang has developed a fabric for medical use. It has been exported to Japan and is widely used by medical institutions in China.

At first， some colleagues at Wanfang Textile were curious about and/or puzzled by Tanzohs commitment. His answer is simple： “I am now retired with a pension adequate for everyday life. I dont have a hunger for money. It is valuable to do what I like to do and I am happy.“ But， for a long time he did not have an answer to a more profound question： why Haining and why Wanfang？ He has asked himself this question many times over years and now he has contented himself with this answer： “This was my fate to know Haining and Wanfang. That did not require a reason. It just happened naturally.”

Tanzoh Junji is from Nara. “I have a family in Japan. My wife， three children and six grandchildren，” Tanzoh says proudly. He goes back for family reunion four or five times a year. “I am happy to see them every once a while. I dont need to be there in their lives every minute. I am happy in Haining as all my colleagues are family，” says Tanzoh. “Nara is a scenic tourism destination. It was a destination on the ancient Silk Routes and its trade and cultural ties with China go back to a thousand years.”

Tanzoh values the ties between China and Japan very much. In 2007， he and Mao Weihua planted a cherry tree on the compound of the factory. It is a symbol of friendship. “It was just as thick as a thumb in 2007. Now it is as thick as a bowl. It will give beautiful flowers before long，” says Tanzoh.

Over the past 13 years， Tanzoh Junji has witnessed the miraculously fast development Haining has experienced.

“The city seemed far from anywhere when I first came here. There were no high-rises and the leather product marketplace was old. And there was no five-star hotel and Garden Hotel was the best hotel in Haining，” recalls the Japanese technician. Haining has seen sea changes in the past ten plus years. “Now Haining is a pretty city where one can live and work peacefully with ease. And now Haining is better than Japan in terms of warp-knitting technology，” notes Tanzoh.
