Luan Yihong

As soon as Luan Yihong is mentioned, colleagues of Bloomage Biotech immediately come up with several key impressions on him. For example, enviable bushy black eyebrow, stubborn temper and straight character, super serious work for a dozen years, specially deal with all kinds of disobedience. Be a low-key person, do a high profile works.


Luan Yihong, 56 years old, has worked in Bloomage Biotech for 16 years. As a deputy general manager, he is in charge of production. He is a veteran employee in the company. Since joining Bloomage Biotech in 2004, Luan Yihong has been fighting in the production line of the company, led a group of production personnel to attack the mountain of production technology one after another and achieved absolutely brilliant achievements in the industry as expected.

Excellent always has traces to follow in Luan Yihong's resume. Every achievement is full of power.

Engaged in the fermentation research field for 32 years, he has continuously led the optimization of microbial fermentation technology in Bloomage Biotech for many years.

Organize and implement the preparation and application of the Drug Master File (DMF) of the first sodium hyaluronate drug substance (API) in China;

Host the pilot scale-up study on the production of γ-aminobutyric acid by microbial fermentation.

Behind the halo of excellence, Luan Yihong's unusual qualities seem to be more attractive.  They are better able to answer the person who have made these achievements is Luan Yihong, rather than others.

He likes to do large-scale.

Unlike ordinary scientists doing experiments in laboratories, Luan Yihong prefers to make some large-scale on the production line. In his view, real gold is produced by fire. You have to put the industrialized production line. It can increase the experimental data by a few percentage points in the pilot phase or even in the final mass production. My interest and achievement are both here.

When he joined Bloomage Biotech, the first thing Luan Yihong did was that he went to the production line and worked to improve the productivity and quality of hyaluronic acid fermentation, together with Dr. Guo Xueping, the chief scientist and the R&D team in 2004.

Recalling those days, Luan Yihong felt that at that time there had to moved little by little on account of no experience to do fermentation optimization. In his view, the research of hyaluronic acid fermentation is a protracted thing. A few simple visits to the workshop can't find any problem. Therefore, it became Luan Yihong's normal work in those days, squatting in the workshop, guarding the production line, checking the workers records and observing the production line at any time.

After squatting for more than one month, Luan Yihong began to try to culture the fermentative seeds and optimize the productivity. The productivity of hyaluronic acid fermentation increased from 4-5g/L to 7g/L. At first Luan Yihong still thought it was his luck. However when others tried, the productivity fell back. Colleagues jokingly said that the productivity was effective for Luan yihon only. Because Luan Yihong found the regular behind fermentation.

At present, the production rate of hyaluronic acid fermentation of Bloomage Biotech has developed from less than 3g/L at the beginning of establishment to 12-14g/L now. Although it is only the improvement of gram level, the importance of this indicator is well known to people in the industry. The fermentation productivity far exceeds the international average level, and the product quality far exceeds the standard of European Pharmacopoeia. Many peers have withdrawn from the market competition of hyaluronic acid raw materials because of the difficulty of industrialization level. This achievement has something to do with Luan Yihong's high enthusiasm for the continuous exploration of fermentation production.

 He can eat or drink nothing, but he can't stop staring at the production line. Luan is more concerned about the optimization and improvement of production capacity than taking care of his children! When colleagues talked about Luan Yihong, they were all impressed by his enthusiasm for hyaluronic acid fermentation and optimization.

In addition to hyaluronic acid, γ-aminobutyric acid industrialization was also produced by Luanyi Hong. At the beginning of doing γ-aminobutyric acid, Luan Yihong worked hard as the original doing fermentation optimization. He stared at the aminobutyric acid for a month and decided to do because of interest.

At that time, Luan Yihong was the deputy general manager of the company. Some colleagues reminded him that it was inappropriate for you, a vice president of the company, squatting on the production line every day, like a front-line worker. Luan Yihong refuted that how can I find problems in my office every day.

In this way, Luan Yihong took the team to do the productivity of γ-aminobutyric acid and optimized the process in the 5 ton fermentor. He saw that the productivity increased from 100kg to 300kg and 700kg, to 1 tonne in 2019, and then to 2 tonne this year. Luan Yihong seemed to be playing a game of cultivation, passing through customs in his own world bit by bit with a lot of fun.

It was unknown that γ-aminobutyric acid was first produced by Japanese enterprises.  Compared with Japan's production of gamma-aminobutyric acid, production of Bloomage Biotech has doubled, and the cost is one-fifth of Japan's.

 The laboratory does research and I do magnify in production. . We all work together to do it well. Luan Yihong said do things well which let Bloomage Biotech hyaluronic acid fermentation productivity achieve the world first.

 Luan is especially for dealing with all kinds of disobedience.

Although Physiognomy said by the ancients is mysterious, it is applicable to Luan Yihong. With bushy eyebrow, towering eyebrow peak, he is a stubborn and straight person. And in real life, Luan Yihong really confirmed this.

In addition competing with productivity, Luan Yihong is specially for dealing with all kinds of disobedience in the company. As long as there is an unreasonable and problematic place, he will directly resent regardless of position. Colleagues secretly nicknamed him Luan Songsong in private.

Luan Yihong once managed the quality control center of the company. For some time, the quality control center had an atmosphere. In ordinary times, the staff were especially afraid of accidents. Once the employees made mistakes, they would be severely punished. The employees were trembling and afraid of making mistakes every day. They even had to work overtime on Saturday and Sunday.

Luan Yihong severely criticized this bad atmosphere and its irrationality. Then turning around to the team staff, he said that do well and do not be afraid. Do what you should do, go home when you do not work overtime. If you work hard, I am responsibility for problems. When the heaven was falling down, I would strive against it. In this way, a reassuring pill was given to employees, and since then the error rate had decreased and efficiency had improved.

Luan Yihong, with character of stubborn and straight, is quite clear about his tempers. He always feels embarrassed after he criticizes people. Then he often send a message to people privately that his attitude is not good just now, and feels rather regretful. Luan Yihong will always reflect on himself. Things can be solved in a mild way, but my character has been for decades and difficult to change. I really appreciate for those who can tolerate me.

 Luan Yihong, working from the front-line, seems to have a natural empathy for the front-line workers. He is good at discover people's strengths. In the employment, Luan Yi-hong always said that we had to see people's strengths not shortcomings. Everyone has weaknesses. Digging out the strength is also a skill of leader. Once seeing problems and faults of the employees, Luan Yihong also pointed out directly, never beat around the bush.

 Judge a case as it stands, I have a bad temper. As long as you do everything clear and dedicated, I will analyze the cause of wrong things. You can make one or two times of the same mistake, but cannot three times. This is Luan Yihong's consistent attitude towards employees.

Although Mr. Luan loves to criticize, the colleagues know that his candid temperament is for the company to become better.

 Meet 98, a song sung by Wang Fei and Na Ying, instantly became popular all over the country in 1998. Luan Yihong and Dr. Guo Xueping, chief scientist of Bloomage Biotech, met each other at a scientific and technological achievement appraisal meeting of coenzyme microbial fermentation that year. The two people who were only one year apart felt very close to each other when they met at that time. The common love and dedication to the industry made them become bosom friend, with a sense of confidant heroes cherish heroes. Luan Yihong's professional background and his tenacity and impetuosity were also appreciated by Dr. Guo Xueping.

Dr. Guo warmly invited Luan Yihong to join Bloomage Biotech many times in six years. When Luan Yihong hesitated, Dr. Guo promised that the door of Bloomage Biotech always opened to you.

With Dr. Guo's perseverance efforts, Luan was moved. In 2004, Luan Yihong formally joined Bloomage Biotech and became the core member of the R&D team of the company. Later, Luan Yihong also became Dr. Guo's graduate student. The job did not fall behind and study also did not delay. The relationship both teachers and friends makes them cooperate with each other more easily. The company's production capacity growing year by year was the best witness.

After joining Bloomage Biotech, Luan Yihong successively held important management positions in R&D front line, quality management front line and production line successively. The rich experience of job rotation made Luan Yihong become omnipotent and professional, and gradually grew into a person with high skills or rich experiences.

In Bloomage Biotech, good traditions can be inherited. Succession of Dr. Guo Xueping, Luan Yihong also extend this gratitude to the team he leads. Luan Yihong liked to give employees more opportunities once he finds those who are active, serious and thoughtful. In his view, it is the key to the growth and progress of the team. That is to discover people, cultivate people, and give them enough space and opportunities to grow. He often said that I was not afraid of the excellent staff, for the excellent staff symbolizes my success and the company victory.

Just like the front wave and the back wave which is very hot recently, I hope that our front waves boldly lead the back waves to tumble in the sea of the company. Don't be afraid to be beaten to death by the back waves on the beach. Instead, we should work with the back waves to do something exciting and roll up more waves and create more possibilities.
