Emphasize theoretical study and firmly focus on skills development.
Recently, the Group’s Zhejiang region organized a “dual‑certificate” training program for advanced welding technicians and safety‑production personnel. Designed to implement the Group’s annual training objectives and enhance the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of frontline employees, the program received strong support from the Yuecheng District Vocational Technical Appraisal Center. Leveraging the expertise of Shaoxing Secondary Vocational School, the training consolidated what would have otherwise required multiple sessions into a single course, effectively integrating the theoretical and hands-on syllabi for both certification types. This approach not only significantly improved training efficiency but also helped reconcile the demands of training with production schedules. After nearly two months of intensive instruction, all training components were successfully completed. At the end of July, participants took the theoretical and practical examinations administered by the Shaoxing Municipal Administration of Work Safety and the Yuecheng District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. Forty individuals passed the advanced welding technician exam, while 37 passed the work‑safety‑related welder exam, resulting in a pass rate exceeding 90%.

As early as the beginning of this year, Hebei Province issued the “Implementation Opinions on Vigorously Developing Prefabricated Construction.” The document identifies steel‑structure construction as the primary focus for innovative building methods and calls for robust development of prefabricated concrete structures. Zhangjiakou, Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Baoding, Handan, and Cangzhou—along with counties (cities and districts) surrounding Beijing and Tianjin—are designated as pilot areas for pioneering progress in Hebei. The document also clearly outlines three core requirements, ten key tasks, and six supporting policies to advance prefabricated construction, marking a significant milestone. On June 16, Zhejiang Yuegong Steel Structure Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as Yuegong Steel Structure) and Hebei Jingtong Building Technology Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as Jingtong Building), located in Handan, Hebei, reached consensus at Yuegong Steel Structure’s headquarters regarding the use and licensing of technical resources related to Yuegong Steel Structure’s frame‑embedded wall structural system, and successfully signed a strategic cooperation agreement. A Rising Star in Green Prefabricated Construction—Yuegong Steel Structure The agreement was jointly signed by Hua Yuwu, Vice President of Yuegong Holding Group and General Manager of Yuegong Steel Structure, and Jiang Kaining, Chairman of Jingtong Building. Attending the signing ceremony were Chen Bailiang, Chairman of the Board of Yuegong Holding Group; Chen Jian, Deputy Director of Yuegong Steel Structure’s R&D Center; and Jin Feng. This collaboration took only one month from initial discussions to formal signing. The two parties first met at the Sixth China (Shenyang) International Modern Construction Industry Expo. During the event, after inspecting Yuegong Steel Structure’s frame‑embedded wall system, Chairman Jiang of Jingtong Building recognized its distinct advantages: a hybrid steel‑concrete design combined with 100% high‑strength bolted connections. This approach offers lower investment costs, faster project implementation, and superior seismic performance, representing a major breakthrough compared to traditional construction systems. Following multiple rounds of exchanges and site visits, the two sides smoothly reached a cooperative intent, demonstrating their swift decision-making and strong commitment to partnership. By working together, they will integrate technologies, vigorously promote the application and development of the frame‑embedded wall structural system in Handan, Hebei, and jointly drive the transformation and upgrading of the construction market, fostering growth within the prefabricated construction industry cluster and providing powerful momentum for economic development in Handan and throughout Hebei Province. Chairman Chen Bailiang emphasized that, driven by national policies, prefabricated construction holds tremendous market potential. Yuegong’s frame‑embedded wall system boasts a high level of innovation and a strong foundation, effectively combining the strengths of precast concrete and steel structures. Its walls can be repeatedly dismantled and reused without generating construction waste—features widely acknowledged by industry experts. He expressed confidence that this collaboration would leverage each party’s strengths, creating a synergistic effect. Jiang Kaining, Chairman of Jingtong Building, stated that adopting Yuegong Steel Structure’s advanced technology was the result of thorough research and evaluation. The signing of this strategic cooperation marks the beginning of a new chapter of comprehensive collaboration between the two companies. With Handan currently undergoing rapid development, both parties aim to seize this opportunity to enhance the speed and quality of prefabricated construction through technological integration. Vice President Hua Yuwu echoed these sentiments, noting that this partnership will establish long-term, stable cooperation and foster deep friendship between the two enterprises. By complementing each other’s strengths and engaging in in-depth collaboration, they seek to achieve mutual success and contribute to the modernization of the construction industry.
“Bravely” shoulder heavy responsibilities; “collaboratively” demonstrate one’s abilities.
What do we fear most in engineering? It’s not the size or difficulty of the projects—it’s the opposite: being idle when there’s nothing to do, and being overwhelmed when work piles up. What’s even worse is having several projects simultaneously demanded to start at once! As the saying goes, “What you fear is what comes.” The Happy City project—originally scheduled to begin installation in February for roughly 1,000 parking spaces—was delayed until late April due to site‑related issues, and even now, because of those same constraints, they still can’t fully roll up their sleeves and get going. Just as this was happening, two other projects were slated to break ground almost simultaneously—truly a case of plans changing faster than expected! With the company struggling under the pressure, “Yong” stepped forward. “Yong” is an installer on the installation team, whose full name is Zhang Yong. He has been with the team for exactly one year. Though his education isn’t extensive, he earns the respect and trust of the installation team leader through his willingness to follow instructions and his tireless dedication. He also loves his job, enjoys learning, and humbly seeks advice from more experienced colleagues whenever he encounters something unfamiliar, rapidly improving his skills. Zhang Yong expressed his readiness to lead a few fellow installers on a relatively small project—118 parking spaces—to gain experience, hoping to receive support along the way. Should we approve or reject this proposal? General Manager Assistant Jiang Genwang raised the question during an early morning leadership meeting. He explained that he had already consulted with two installation team leaders. While they agreed that, at present, Zhang Yong’s installation expertise, organizational abilities, and communication skills did not yet meet the standards of a qualified team leader, they believed it was important to give ordinary installers who show initiative and work diligently a chance to prove themselves. Encouraging their courage and enthusiasm, they felt, would help them grow and develop over time. Should difficulties arise during installation, they would tackle them together. After hearing Jiang’s briefing, the leadership commended both team leaders’ perspectives. They viewed Zhang Yong’s “courage” as a perfect embodiment of the company’s core value of “passion,” while the mutual assistance among engineering team leaders reflected the corporate spirit of “generosity and harmony”—qualities worth promoting widely. President Ai further emphasized that personal growth is a gradual process requiring patience and careful nurturing. At the same time, he stressed one critical point to Zhang Yong: safety must remain paramount. As a team leader, he must maintain constant vigilance and never allow even the slightest negligence. On May 8, Zhang Yong and his team began setting out the layout for installation. Jiang added Zhang Yong to the “Yuègōng Internal Installation Team Group Chat,” which includes personnel from the Engineering Department as well as Manufacturing, Technical, and other departments. The group shares all kinds of installation‑related information—for example, warehouse staff notify everyone about today’s shipments: how many trucks have departed, which components are being sent, and the drivers’ departure times, so installation team leaders can head down to the basement to receive deliveries (since cell service is often unavailable underground). If anyone has questions or runs into challenges, they can post inquiries or seek help; others promptly offer suggestions, and ultimately, a responsible person provides a final decision. This group is arguably one of the most active and efficient within the machinery company. Setting out the installation layout proved to be Zhang Yong’s weak spot. Despite working long hours during the day, Liang Zongkun would often stay late, traveling more than two hours each evening to Zhang Yong’s construction site to double-check the layout dimensions, promptly correct any errors, and patiently explain key principles of layout work. In return, Zhang Yong expressed deep gratitude. During installation, they encountered a situation where one guide rail ended up positioned directly over a sump pit, making its secure mounting problematic. Zhang Yong posted a request for help in the group chat, and colleagues nearby immediately jumped in to assist. Even Chen Xiaofei, a team leader stationed far away in Yichang, Hubei, offered multiple solutions. Ultimately, Feng Jun, the technical department manager, synthesized these suggestions into a practical plan: using three H‑shaped steel beams fixed at the sump pit opening to serve as supporting girders for the rail. Through the combined efforts of the Technical, Manufacturing, and Installation teams, they resolved the issue quickly and cost‑effectively, leaving a very positive impression on the client. With the problem solved, Zhang Yong visibly gained confidence. “I’m a bit rough around the edges and not much of a talker,” he said. “Although the project isn’t finished yet and plenty of challenges still lie ahead, I’ll do my utmost to see this installation through. Throughout the process, the guidance and support from my leaders and colleagues have given me confidence in my work and hope for the future. I truly believe choosing Yuègōng was the right decision—and the longer I stay here, the more rewarding it feels, like discovering a sweet, fulfilling taste.” Zhang Yong’s willingness to take on challenges demonstrates his “bravery,” while the mutual assistance among installation team members embodies true “teamwork.” Building on these foundations, we should strive to realize Chairman Chen’s vision of a “Quality Yuègōng” and a “Happy Yuègōng”: creating a better internal and external environment where employees can work with hope and dignity, growing and developing alongside the company, and ensuring that senior colleagues no longer worry about the old adage, “Teaching your apprentice will leave you starving.” By delivering higher‑quality, more valuable products to our customers, we can inspire pride and happiness among our workforce. When we achieve all this, Chairman Chen’s vision of “Quality Yuègōng, Happy Yuègōng” will naturally come to fruition.

These accolades represent full recognition of Yuegong’s accomplishments and progress over the past year—truly cause for great celebration. He further explained that today’s report meeting was convened for three key reasons: First, this marks the first time in Yuegong’s history that we have introduced a structurally innovative system with independent intellectual property rights into the field of prefabricated construction and showcased it at a national-level expo. Second, following its presentation at the expo, our frame‑embedded wall system has received significant attention and praise from experts, industry peers, and various distinguished guests, demonstrating that our hard work has not been in vain and earning validation from colleagues and specialists—providing us with valuable encouragement and motivation. Therefore, it is essential to share this good news with all Yuegong employees, enabling everyone to better understand and appreciate our proprietary structural system, experience the excitement of the exhibition, and strengthen their sense of pride and confidence. Third, from obtaining the patent certificate from the State Intellectual Property Office to the actual design, fabrication, installation, and exhibition—all accomplished within just one month—this remarkable efficiency exemplifies the distinctive spirit and professionalism of Yuegong personnel. Designers, fabricators, installers, marketing teams, logistics support staff, and project managers alike have poured tremendous effort and dedication into this endeavor, vividly embodying the Yuegong culture of “meticulousness, collaboration, and proactivity.” This exemplary achievement also serves as a quintessential illustration of this year’s work priorities—“enhancing efficiency and improving profitability”—and deserves full recognition, promotion, and emulation throughout the entire Group. Following this, all attendees watched a video presentation showcasing Yuegong’s prefabricated construction system and the on-site conditions during the China Modern Construction Industry Expo. Representatives from the design, fabrication, installation, marketing, and logistics support departments, as well as the project manager responsible for the exhibit, took the stage to share their personal experiences and insights gained through designing, manufacturing, and participating in this year’s expo. Subsequently, Vice President and General Manager of Zhejiang Company, Hua Yuwu, delivered a speech in which he provided a detailed overview of the philosophy and features of Yuegong’s frame‑embedded wall system. He also outlined specific plans and actionable recommendations for further advancing this innovative structural system, including strengthening the R&D team, refining product offerings, constructing demonstration houses, conducting expert reviews, fostering collaborations with general contractors and academic institutions, and pursuing relevant scientific research projects. He urged every Yuegong employee to take immediate, proactive steps without waiting for instructions. Finally, Board Chairman Chen Bailiang offered important directives. He underscored the need to commend Yuegong wholeheartedly, highlighting two key aspects: First, the unique advantages of Yuegong’s system compared to others—its 100% assembly rate and 100% recyclability—reflect a thorough consideration of the product’s entire life cycle. Second, he commended all Yuegong employees who contributed to the success of this exhibition, noting that thanks to their tireless efforts, our booth attracted the highest number of visitors and garnered the greatest attention over the two-day event. He then set forth several requirements: First, maintain an indomitable spirit of enthusiasm, seizing opportunities while momentum remains strong, and boldly pressing forward despite challenges—upholding Yuegong’s core mission of “people-oriented excellence and striving for leadership.” Specifically, “building people” means cultivating individuals of integrity and refined taste, fully showcasing Yuegong’s new ethos. Second, promptly refine and establish standardized specifications for the system and create a comprehensive database to support its development. Third, accelerate market penetration while continuing robust R&D efforts to sustain our leading position, ultimately bringing Yuegong’s innovative system to the forefront of the market. Through sustained effort over the coming years, Yuegong aims to become a small but influential giant in its specialized industry segment.
