Finding the ideal path in the capacitor industry
After graduating from the electronics major in 1999, Liu Shangping gave up the job he arranged. After being introduced by an acquaintance, he came to an electronics factory in Shenzhen. However, in the course of his work, he found that he could not apply what he learned here, so he left. At this time, the component industry rose. He joined a capacitor manufacturing factory. Gradually, he felt that his electronic technology could be used in the capacitor industry. Since then, he has been developing in the capacitor industry.
Due to the outstanding technology, Liu Shangping quickly became one of the company’s managements. Over time, he gradually realized that products must be innovative and technology cannot be separated from the market. At the same time, he also learned that many businesses prefer foreign capacitor products. At this time, he was determined to make domestic capacitors so that domestic capacitors can be recognized by people.
Later, the capacitor factory withdrew from the capacitor industry, and Liu Shangping left the factory. However, because his technology was recognized by manufacturers before, many manufacturers still found him asking for capacitors, so he had the idea of setting up a company. Because of manufacturers’ support and love for the capacitor industry, Liu Shangping established Dongguan Changyou Industrial Co., Ltd. to continue his own capacitor business.
During the development of the new company, Liu Shangping repeatedly encountered the requirements of merchants indicating that foreign capacitor products must be required. He understood that at that time, there was a certain gap between domestic and foreign capacitors, but still made him feel that Chinese capacitors were underestimated. Therefore, he once again affirmed his ideal and continued to strive for it-just to be a respected Chinese capacitor product, so that everyone knows that China has the ability and technology to make high-end capacitor products in the world.

Eternal quality, regardless of cost
Liu Shangping learned that the gap between foreign capacitor manufacturers and domestic capacitor manufacturers is multifaceted. To quickly reduce these gaps, “learning can make people progress”. Therefore, he spent a lot of time and energy, discussing cooperation matters with domestic and foreign companies, and learning their concepts and technologies.
One of the key points to ensure product quality is the use of materials. Changyou has a nearly persistent pursuit in selecting raw materials. In order to choose the most suitable production raw material for a product, Changyou purchased a large number of domestic and foreign raw materials according to its own technical ratio. After several tests, it will finally confirm the production raw materials of the product. In order to help the raw material supplier to improve the quality, Changyou will manufacture the capacitors and provide the parameters and results to the raw material supplier after the test, so that the partners can grow together.
In production equipment, Liu Shangping is proud to tell reporters that Changyou can be said to invest regardless of cost for quality. In Changyou’s production workshop, there are dozens of sets of equipment developed by domestic automation equipment companies and imported from abroad. These equipments are valuable and many people are reluctant to introduce and use them. Many colleagues and even partners don’t understand why Changyou spends a lot of money on devices. Liu Shangping explained to us: Changyou’s goal is to manufacture the world’s high-end capacitor products. If the technology reaches a high level, but the equipment cannot keep up with the product quality, this is a situation that Changyou never wants to encounter.

“Often friends” status, high standards require themselves
Changyou emphasizes the standardization of manufacturing, and every employee must produce according to the manufacturing process and specifications. In the process of production operations, we only look at the standards and products that do not meet the standards. All products are discarded and no explanation is accepted. Liu Shangping said that only by deepening the concept of standardization into the minds of every employee can the product’s quality be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
In addition to manufacturing standards and processes, manufacturing standards also guarantee environmental protection. Now environmental protection is a global theme. Changyou requires the highest standards to improve its environmental treatment equipment many times. The internal control rate of waste gas and waste exceeds about 85%. The unprocessable waste generated during the production process will cooperate with the government to place the waste in centralized processing by the local government to minimize the environmental impact.
Service has already become one of the core competitiveness of the product. Changyou pays great attention to serving customers and will not delay the production period of customers. To this end, it also prepares two sets of production equipment to cope with any possible situation and to ensure that even major equipment failure Changyou also has the ability to solve problems within two days.
Once, a customer who exported to Europe called at 2 o’clock in the middle of the night, leaving 11 capacitors to ship. After understanding the customer’s situation and Changyou’s inventory, Liu Shangping immediately arranged to work overtime to rush out the capacitors and send them to the customer early in order to enable the customer to ship on schedule.
Liu Shangping is proud of the high-standard production process and the concept of improving product quality regardless of cost and serving customers. This is the status of “changyou”. And this state is not understood by many people, but good companies always have “sounds.” On two occasions, after learning about the status of “Friends” and testing and understanding the performance of the product, the customer actively asked for a price increase. To many people, this is an incredible thing, but Changyou has encountered such a customer twice. Of course, Liu Shangping did not accept the customer’s initiative to increase the price, but this is undoubtedly a great respect and affirmation to Changyou.
Technological innovation and continuous pursuit of new breakthroughs
Liu Shangping is a technician himself, so he pays great attention to technology. Changyou not only invests in equipment hardware regardless of cost, but also misses any opportunity to improve in learning software technology.
Changyou’s long-term cooperative enterprises involve multiple industries and fields. In order to match different capacitor products in different industries, Changyou has at least one professional technical staff in the industry when producing products for different industries. In the field of audio capacitors, more than 20 years of audio capacitor masters are responsible for the development and production.
Secondly, in the product development test, we continuously provide various raw material development and manufacture samples, and test the performance and effect of the product with partners. Only after the product is fully tested, will the product be finally put on the market. Changyou’s latest product, BevenbiMKPA-C audio capacitor, has been used for nearly 5 years of continuous proofing tests, and after continuous scrutiny of technical and detailed adjustments, it was officially launched to the market this year. Up to now, the audio capacitor BevenbiMKPA-C series products produced by Changyou have been successfully exported to Germany, Italy and Brazil.
Liu Shangping believes that only continuous innovation of a company’s products can maintain its vitality. To achieve this, technological breakthroughs are the key. Changyou will first exchange technology with peers to trigger new ideas; secondly, make Changyou’s process better, and standardize every process that requires manual operation; then participate in the development of new products by customers, make suggestions on the use of capacitor products, and more Close to market needs; the last is to always pay attention to new equipment, once there is better equipment, if it is indeed appropriate, immediately introduce.
Postscript
“Personality, products” is Liu Shangping’s principle of doing things, and he asks every employee of Changyou. In the process of communicating with Liu Shangping, the author can feel that he has the commonality of technical staff, pays great attention to details, and strives to perfect each product. At the same time, he also has a very clear goal-to be a respected Chinese capacitor. To this end, he does not care about the enjoyment of his life, but has the ultimate pursuit of products. Dream chaser always exudes special energy, this may be Liu Shangping’s “often friend” state. We look forward to and bless Changyou Industry’s products to continue to introduce new products, making China made world-renowned.
