Veteran Wu Deren： Building an ＂Autonavi Map＂ at Sea

　　Wu Deren, enlisted in the army in December 1968, and retired from active service in June 2015. He grew from a soldier to a deputy division-level leading cadre in the navy, and was honored with third-class merit three times. In June 2015, the Yangtze River "Oriental Star" passenger ship capsized. He served as the deputy commander-in-chief of rescue at the scene of the accident and completed the task well. He was cordially received by the central leadership comrades. At the end of 2015, he resolutely chose to choose his own career with the determination to "serve the country with industry and realize his dream of Haitian", becoming the first "crab eater" in Zhejiang Province who chose his own career as a deputy division-level leading cadre.

　　Create a maritime version of the "Autonavi map". His 29-year military career has forged his spiritual quality and excellent style of loyalty and reliability, daring to fight, and selfless dedication. Since 2015, in the more than 1,000 days and nights of entrepreneurship and hard work, he has maintained and carried forward the moral integrity and excellent style of soldiers. In his own words: "I have embodied the quality of loyalty and reliability to the party in the army in entrepreneurship, which is honesty and trustworthiness; the style of daring to fight and fight on the training ground, which is daring to take responsibility in entrepreneurship; and the selfless dedication to interests, which is benevolence and love in entrepreneurship."

　　After two years of hard work, he led 7 retired military officers to successfully create a maritime version of the "Autonavi Map", which applies marine big data to maritime navigation, making it easy for millions of maritime navigators without professional navigation experience and education to use professional navigation aids to achieve the purpose of disaster prevention and mitigation, and also fills the gap in our country’s maritime mobile intelligent navigation. With his tangible achievements, he realized the oath of "serving the country with the army, creating great achievements bravely, and serving the country with entrepreneurship and industry". The governor of Zhejiang Province and the commander of the provincial military region came to Zhejiang Easy Navigation Information Technology Co., Ltd. for inspection and research, and gave high praise.

　　The banner of entrepreneurship has always been guided by the clear party flag. As a military transfer cadre who has been trained and educated by the party for many years, he has asked himself countless times: What should be the difference between a Communist Party member, a military transfer cadre, and a division-level leading cadre in starting a business and others? Strong party spirit, strong military flavor, talking about politics, and taking care of the overall situation are the only answers he gave. As soon as he took off his military uniform in 2015, he non-stop gathered more than 7 self-selected cadres from the regiment with common value pursuit, planned the development direction, formulated goals and tasks, and designed the content and steps for the second business venture, forming an entrepreneurial goal and path that "aims to build a powerful country at sea, give full play to the unique advantages of soldiers, solve the problems of maritime development, and achieve a win-win situation of two benefits".

　　Wu Deren led everyone to repeatedly study and think and found the answer: integrate various resources, establish an easy navigation company, and focus on solving technical problems such as maritime navigation, meteorology, and communication. After choosing the main direction of entrepreneurship, the next step is to form an entrepreneurial team. He knows that it is difficult to win this tough battle without a highly conscious and skilled "wolf team". Through personal visits and studies in the past two years, he found that any company that has done a good job in party building and a hot trade union in the enterprise is a thriving and prosperous enterprise, and a "happy enterprise" that everyone hopes for. Otherwise, it will be difficult to form a "guerrilla-style company" that will grow and develop. To this end, his first thought when founding the enterprise was: to retire from the army without fading, and to follow the party with an iron heart. At present, his company currently has 75 employees, including 17 official party members, 10 retired military personnel, and 3 military wives.

　　The driving force for entrepreneurship has always come from the heroic spirit of daring to fight and fight. The 29-year military career has not only strengthened his heart, but also forged his heroic and tenacious fighting will. Wearing military uniform as a commander and combatant, he took off the military uniform and went to sea to start a business. He also tackled difficulties and obstacles all the way with a keen eye for soldiers and a vigorous style. After nearly two years of software development and 6 months of practice running, he finally overcame the many difficulties of "Haixing Smart Edition" maritime mobile intelligent navigation. " Haixing Smart Edition "APP was successfully launched on China Navigation Day (July 11, 2018). At present, there are more than 130,000 sea-related users on the line, and the customer trial experience is good. It is expected that the user will reach more than 1 million in two years, and the output value will exceed 100 million yuan. At the same time, in the practice of second entrepreneurship, Wu Deren also deeply realized that the original intention and starting point of entrepreneurship must be family and mission, and only in this way can we enlarge the pattern of ourselves and the enterprise.

　　Looking at Wu Deren’s entrepreneurial experience, it explains the responsibility and obligation, mission and responsibility of a retired soldier. Even if he takes off his military uniform, his true colors remain the same, and his bloodline genes still flow with a billowing sense of serving the country and sincere dedication. Especially in the increasingly competitive business world, it is even more necessary for batches of military entrepreneurs like Wu Deren to charge in and serve the country with their industries, so as to be a good vanguard and demonstrate new achievements in order to realize the great Chinese dream.
