The road ahead for the pilot program is long and arduous.
——Zhejiang Yuegong Attends the 2016 Summary Meeting on the Pilot Program for General Contracting of Construction Projects by Steel Structure Enterprises On March 17, 2017, the China Association for Metal Structures in Construction convened a summary meeting in Beijing to review the pilot program launched in 2016, under which steel structure enterprises undertook general contracting for construction projects. Hua Yuwu, Vice President of Yuegong Group and General Manager of its Zhejiang branch, attended the meeting and presented a report on the pilot work. He exchanged views with association leaders and peer companies regarding their approaches and experiences in implementing the general contracting pilot, while also discussing issues encountered during the pilot’s execution. It is reported that 2017 marked the third year of the pilot program for steel structure enterprises engaging in general contracting for construction projects. Based on the operational performance of the more than 40 participating pilot firms, these enterprises have, in accordance with the requirements of the general contracting pilot, strengthened their professional teams and facilities, actively pursued market applications, streamlined management structures, and improved managerial efficiency. As a result, pilot projects have been completed swiftly and with high quality, featuring advanced levels of industrialized production, earning recognition from clients, and achieving significant breakthroughs in implementing general contracting management for steel‑structure‑dominated projects. At the meeting, General Manager Hua stated that, as one of the second batch of pilot enterprises, Yuegong still has a long way to go in pursuing this general contracting initiative. With the guidance and support of the association and government authorities, they will accelerate transformation and upgrading, further enhance their general contracting capabilities, bolster their pool of specialized technical personnel, elevate their overall management standards, serve as an industry benchmark, and expedite the development of the general contracting business model in the market—thereby contributing even more to building high‑quality projects nationwide and advancing the modernization of the construction industry.
Proactive Preparation and Mobilization for Deployment
——Shandong Company Steadily Advances “Innovation and Excellence” and “Safety and Quality Month” Initiatives On the morning of March 25, Shandong Company convened a publicity and mobilization meeting for its Innovation and Excellence campaign and “Safety and Quality Month” activities. The main agenda included implementing the spirit of the Group’s documents on these initiatives, analyzing the current status of safety and quality management within the company, and planning the submission process for Innovation and Excellence nominations as well as the execution of Safety and Quality Month activities. Company leaders and heads of all departments attended the meeting. The meeting commenced with the General Affairs Department conveying the key provisions of the “Interim Measures for the Selection and Commendation of Innovation and Excellence at Yuegong Holding Group” and the “Notice on Launching the 2017 ‘Safety and Quality Month’ Campaign.” Chen Jian, Head of the Corporate Management Department of the Group, provided an interpretation of these documents. He emphasized that the issuance of the Innovation and Excellence guidelines aligns with the Group’s overarching goals of change, innovation, and excellence. Two guiding principles must be observed: precise rewards and selecting the best from among the excellent—prioritizing quality over quantity. This selection process follows a PDCA cycle. Safety and quality are fundamental to corporate management; they require sustained effort, beginning in April and rooted in our collective mindset. To ensure broad participation and engagement, flexible and diverse approaches should be adopted. In order to raise quality awareness, mass‑participation quality improvement initiatives will be organized. Following the meeting, Minister Chen arranged specialized QC team training sessions for relevant personnel from the Manufacturing and Quality Control Departments. Wu Jiamin, the Group’s Safety Officer, offered suggestions for effectively carrying out the Safety and Quality Month activities: first, leverage public opinion to create a strong campaign atmosphere; second, install warning boards at sites where accidents have occurred; third, conduct comprehensive education and training for all employees; and fourth, perform targeted safety inspections of equipment and facilities. At the meeting, General Manager Luo pointed out that the Group has made substantial revisions to the selection criteria, refining them through multiple drafts with great care and rigor. The new approach breaks away from the previous practice of allocating awards equally based on fixed quotas, adopting instead a system of precise rewards. The evaluation process has shifted from year‑end assessments to early‑year submissions, enabling more goal‑oriented and planned efforts throughout the year—fully reflecting the Group’s commitment to innovative development. Awards will be granted based on concrete data, performance metrics, and tangible results, ensuring greater objectivity and authenticity. Shandong Company is encouraged to select award categories aligned with its specific circumstances, prioritizing those with the highest degree of compliance with established criteria. Submission plans should be ambitious and proactive, seeking every possible opportunity. Company leaders and department heads are urged to consider group awards from their respective perspectives, while the Manufacturing Department should encourage individual teams to nominate candidates for personal honors. By the end of the month, detailed submission plans must be submitted; after internal screening, these will be forwarded to the Group. In light of the current situation, General Manager Luo stressed the need to face challenges head‑on, focusing on achieving overarching objectives while ensuring each department fulfills its responsibilities. With unity and shared purpose, we must overcome attitudes of dependence and passivity, harness our initiative, stay on schedule, and deliver concrete results. This initiative presents an important opportunity to establish a robust framework for promoting innovation and excellence, thereby elevating the company’s production and management operations to a higher level. Regarding the Safety and Quality Month activities, General Manager Luo underscored the importance of forming a dedicated leadership team, comprising both headquarters and branch offices as well as construction sites, to meticulously organize and carefully plan the event, ensuring its effective implementation. Participants actively contributed ideas and recommendations, unanimously agreeing that the campaign should be integrated with Shandong Company’s ongoing Level‑3 standardized safety production certification assessment, with 6S management practices, and with the Innovation and Excellence nomination process. Furthermore, it was proposed to compile and analyze common quality issues, launch QC‑driven quality improvement projects, and allocate one day in mid‑April to provide comprehensive training for frontline workers, emphasizing occupational safety, fire prevention, and addressing deficiencies identified during standardized safety production audits—all aimed at strengthening overall quality awareness. Finally, the successful experiences gained from the Xijie Project in civilized construction and safety management should be summarized and disseminated, establishing long‑term, sustainable site management models. By the end of March, the Manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality Control Departments are expected to submit separate written activity plans, which will then be consolidated into the official “2017 Safety and Quality Month Implementation Guidelines.” Through these activities, we aim to drive progress, safeguard safety and quality, and lay the groundwork for a lasting mechanism of safety and quality management.
Management innovation introduces another new initiative.
Management Innovation Introduces Another New Initiative Over the past few years, Zhejiang Company has achieved significant improvements in both the quality and quantity of its self‑operated engineering projects, with new projects commencing annually. However, due to various factors, numerous issues persist across key stages—including product design, component fabrication, quality management, and on‑site installation—and internal coordination also faces certain challenges. These shortcomings have resulted in lower customer satisfaction and economic performance that falls short of expectations, thereby imposing constraints on the company’s growth. To address these problems, we conducted a thorough internal analysis and research. Guided by Chairman Chen’s remarks at the Group’s 2017 Work Conference—“Innovate for Development, Pursue Efficiency While Mitigating Risks”—we reaffirmed our commitment to reform and innovation, as well as to transformation and upgrading, making efficiency and profitability the primary focus for this year. Following extensive deliberations, Zhejiang Company recently introduced a new internal management initiative: implementing an internal engineering contracting model for its self‑operated projects. By broadly encouraging and mobilizing employees to actively participate in this internal contracting system, we have established a shareholding‑based operational framework centered around individual project units. Under this arrangement, risks are shared proportionally to each investor’s contribution, while profits are distributed accordingly. This shift transforms employees from mere “workers” into “shareholders,” closely aligning their personal interests with those of the company and fostering a spirit of mutual progress and shared responsibility. To ensure effective implementation of this plan, under the meticulous organization and coordination of General Manager Hua, we first conducted extensive consultations within the company, carefully soliciting opinions and suggestions from all stakeholders. Based on these inputs, we formulated the “Detailed Rules for Evaluating Internal Engineering Contracts on Self‑Operated Projects,” clearly defining the rights, responsibilities, and benefits of investors. As an initial step, personnel at the assistant manager level and above were invited to participate in equity‑based contracting, while other employees were also welcome to contribute. Contribution amounts were determined according to job roles and positions. Department heads then launched comprehensive campaigns within their respective teams, receiving overwhelmingly positive responses from staff. On February 25, a brief signing ceremony was held in the company conference room, attended by all managerial personnel. General Manager Hua reiterated the objectives and significance of the initiative, and participants expressed clear understanding and strong support. With only a few exceptions, everyone signed the investment commitment forms. In this round of contributions, the Engineering Department stood out for its meticulous planning and effective mobilization efforts, resulting in enthusiastic participation from all its members. Similarly, some employees from the Marketing and Business Departments voluntarily joined the initiative. Based on actual operational needs, the pilot program will initially be rolled out on three self‑operated projects—the Huaruida Project, the Supor Project, and the Ningbo Suning Project—with a total initial investment exceeding RMB 150,000. To date, several employees have already committed funds. We sincerely hope that this innovative management approach will further motivate and unlock the sense of responsibility and enthusiasm of all employees. By embracing a true owner‑mindset, they will work diligently in their respective roles, advancing and growing alongside the company, ultimately achieving a win‑win outcome for both the enterprise and its individuals.
Uphold discipline, deliver results—being qualified is an ongoing journey.
— Brief Report on the Shandong Yuegong Party Branch’s General Meeting of All Party Members In response to the arrangements and directives issued by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and higher-level party committees, the Shandong Company Party Branch convened a special meeting for all party members on the afternoon of March 10.

At the outset, Comrade Luo Xingchang, a member of the branch committee, conveyed the spirit of the Pingyin County Industrial Park Party Committee regarding the organization of “special organizational life meetings and democratic evaluations of party members.” Subsequently, Comrade Luo Yinchang, the branch secretary, led all attendees in a thorough study of the “Notice from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee on Holding Special Organizational Life Meetings and Conducting Democratic Evaluations of Party Members during the ‘Two Studies, One Action’ Learning Campaign.” The branch leadership team then conducted a self-examination and mutual review. Comrades Luo Xingchang, Chen Kuanli, along with other participating party members, engaged in candid criticism and self-criticism. With a calm and constructive attitude, and guided by the principle of helping one another, they communicated openly and sincerely, achieving positive results. The meeting used the “Four Emphases and Four Qualities” (emphasizing political awareness and having conviction; observing rules and maintaining discipline; upholding morality and cultivating good conduct; dedicating oneself and taking action) as its benchmark, identifying gaps and shortcomings among each party member in terms of political integrity, disciplinary compliance, moral character, and effectiveness in fulfilling their roles. Through democratic evaluation, the meeting selected outstanding, qualified, basically qualified, and unqualified party members. Of the eleven members evaluated, two were recognized as outstanding, nine were rated as qualified, and no members were classified as basically qualified or unqualified. Finally, Secretary Luo Yinchang emphasized that all party members should set an exemplary and leading example, remain steadfast in confidence, surmount difficulties, take the lead in times of change, and forge ahead with determination, thereby making greater contributions to the company’s steady development.

With the signal “Let’s begin” from Jiang Jinlong, Chairman of the Group’s Trade Union, the event officially kicked off. Participants moved forward with high spirits, in an orderly and harmonious manner, savoring the unique charm of Qianqiancha Lake—the largest natural freshwater lake in Shaoxing. Although the route spanned roughly five kilometers, everyone remained energized, chatting and laughing along the way. What was originally expected to take at least an hour and a half was completed in about one hour. Immediately following the lakeside walk, the culinary competition commenced at the Bitang Farmhouse by Qianqiancha Lake. Female employees from various departments and positions formed nine teams, each showcasing their culinary talents. Some wielded knives, skillfully slicing, carving, and chopping; others deftly tossed ingredients in the pan, stirring continuously.
