Background: Yuegong Group was restructured from Shaoxing Heilmans Group Co., Ltd. Heilmans Group traces its origins to the time-honored “He Wanxiang Wok Factory” of the Qing Guangxu era, which later became known as the “Shaoxing Pottery Factory—He Faxiang Cookware Factory.” According to the Shangyu County Gazetteer, in the 27th year of the Qing Guangxu reign (1901), the “He Wanxiang Wok Factory” opened in Baiguan Town and was subsequently relocated to downtown Shaoxing. At that time, the iron woks produced by the “He Wanxiang Wok Factory” not only served the entire province but were also exported nationwide, making it a highly influential cast‑iron cookware enterprise. Following the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the cookware factory was transformed into the “Shaoxing Agricultural Machinery Factory”—the predecessor of the Shaoxing Bicycle Factory. Over the decades, the company has evolved from manufacturing woks and agricultural machinery to producing bicycles, and eventually shifted to steel‑structure construction. With more than a century of history, generation after generation of blacksmiths have chronicled the growth of New China in their own way, laying the foundation for today’s Yuegong Group.
2018 On January 11, Yuegong welcomed a distinguished group of guests—former leaders and longtime employees of the former Shaoxing Bicycle Factory (the predecessor of Yuegong): Xu Wencheng, former Deputy Director of the Shaoxing Municipal People’s Congress and a former employee of the Agricultural Machinery Factory; Zhang Jiacai, former Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government; Ruan Peibin, former director of the General Bicycle Factory; and Wang Qiunong and Jiang Lijuan, both former employees of the Agricultural Machinery Factory. Now in their eighties or nineties, they gathered at Yuegong today to pay a visit to the old institution where they once toiled with dedication and poured their heart and soul. More importantly, in their eyes, Yuegong stands as the rightful heir to the century-old factory’s legacy.
Chairman Chen Bailiang, President Ren Qiliang, Executive Vice President Jiang Jinlong, and Vice Presidents Luo Yinchang, Tang Genmei, and Hua Yuwu, together with veteran representatives from the bicycle factory—Li Xin’er and Wu Jiamin—welcomed the distinguished former leaders at the company gate and held a cordial discussion with them. On behalf of the company, Chairman Chen Bailiang extended a warm welcome to the senior executives, inviting them “home.” He briefed them on Yuegong’s development over recent years, noting that, in addition to steadily expanding its core steel‑structure business, the company has focused on structural adjustments, launched green prefabricated construction solutions, and placed its IPO preparations on the agenda for the next three years. Over the past several years, Yuegong has been consistently recognized as one of the top 30 enterprises in China’s steel‑structure industry. “The achievements Yuegong has attained today have been built step by step, standing on the stage laid out by our esteemed former leaders,” he said. With deep emotion, he added, “My own experience in corporate management was painstakingly imparted to me, hand‑in‑hand, by Director Ruan and other senior leaders. Since its inception, Yuegong has tirelessly upheld the ‘blacksmith’ spirit and carried forward the cultural legacy of earlier generations of managers, thereby forging the enterprise we see today.” In closing, Chairman Chen expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the longstanding care and support of all the former leaders, urging them to continue to follow Yuegong’s progress, offer valuable advice, and wishing them continued health and happiness.
The veteran leaders expressed their satisfaction with the development of Yuegong, recalling bygone days with deep emotion: from the “He Wanxiang Wok Factory”… The iron wok’s illustrious name has been celebrated far and wide; from the agricultural machinery factory, which in the pre‑Liberation era undertook experimental production of firearms to support the War of Resistance, to the bicycle factory whose “Phoenix” brand once enjoyed such soaring popularity that demand outstripped supply—Yuègōng, as both a “keeper of the legacy” and a “successor,” hopes to perpetuate the fine traditions cultivated over many years by this time‑honored enterprise, breathe new life into it, and achieve even more vigorous growth.
Xu Wencheng (former Vice Mayor of Shaoxing City and former employee of the Agricultural Machinery Factory): As a century-old enterprise, we must carry forward our legacy and forge ahead with determination. I hope Yuegong will excel in three key areas: rectification, upgrading, and innovation. Rectification means focusing on our core business and striving for excellence and specialization; upgrading entails transformation and upgrading, with the goal of going public; and innovation requires keeping pace with trends and vigorously developing green prefabricated construction. With dedication, anything is achievable.
Zhang Jiacai (formerly Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and a family member of an employee at the bicycle factory): Unity within the leadership team is paramount; we must forge ahead with determination. I hope Yuegong will intensify its marketing efforts and market expansion, while achieving new breakthroughs in technological research and development.
Ruan Peibin (former director of the bicycle factory): As an extension of the bicycle factory, we hope Yuegong will focus on quality and build the Yuegong brand into a household name!
The earnest expectations and heartfelt aspirations of our former leaders have deeply inspired and moved everyone present, while also delivering a vivid lesson in corporate heritage that has been truly enlightening. All attendees pledged to keep history firmly in mind, carry forward our cultural legacy, remain true to our original mission, and forge ahead.
