It is the height of summer, with scorching heat. Shandong Company has reached an unprecedented production peak. Thanks to the concerted efforts of all employees, June saw a steady stream of record-breaking output figures, setting yet another all-time high. Notably, during the fourth week of June and the final two days of the month, production totaled 1,334 tons, shattering the company’s previous weekly record. On July 2–3, Group President Ren Qiliang, Chief Financial Officer Lu Boqin, and Director of the Group Office Ma Li made a special trip to Shandong Company to extend their condolences to frontline workers and conduct a work‑related field visit. On the evening of the 2nd, President Ren hosted a celebratory banquet in Pingyin, Jinan, marking Shandong Company’s record‑breaking monthly production. On behalf of the Group, President Ren congratulated the company on its remarkable achievement and extended sincere gratitude to all employees and the management team. At the banquet, the people of Shandong Yuegong temporarily set aside their duties to share the joy of this milestone, raising their glasses in celebration—cheering for themselves and for Shandong Company—while wishing Yuegong an even brighter future. On the morning of the 3rd, President Ren and his delegation attended a summary symposium on the company’s record‑setting production, chaired by Luo Yinchang, Executive Vice President of the Group and Chairman of Shandong Company. Chairman Luo began by briefly summarizing Shandong Company’s successful production drive in June. He noted that, guided by market demand and aligned with business order commitments and delivery schedules, the company launched a production‑boosting initiative as early as late May, rallying all resources to overcome the challenges posed by extreme heat and achieve high output. Each department collaborated closely, coordinated comprehensively, and meticulously organized operations. With the collective effort of every cadre and employee, they surmounted every obstacle, created favorable conditions, turned the impossible into reality, and wrote a new chapter in the company’s development. General Manager Chen Kuanli shared insights into the management team’s strategies, specific measures, and lessons learned during this period. He emphasized that achieving the target output was made possible through balanced and well‑filled order pipelines, precise and efficient drawing decomposition, timely procurement of materials, meticulous production scheduling, and scientifically sound assembly and logistics arrangements—all working in seamless synergy across all stages of production. Since taking office, the new management team at Shandong Company has earned the full trust of Group leadership and Chairman Luo Yinchang. United and highly coordinated, they have demonstrated strong execution capabilities, dedicated professionalism, and fully unleashed the potential of their team members. Numerous touching stories emerged: Kong Xiangbing from the Manufacturing Department cared for a hospitalized family member without taking a single day off; Chang Jun, despite a waist injury and wearing a steel plate, remained steadfast at his post; frontline workers managed both epidemic prevention and production without compromise, their faces marked by blisters from prolonged mask‑wearing, yet they voiced no complaints when faced with overtime assignments. Deputy General Manager Gao Yanbin highlighted the critical roles of the Supply and Quality Control departments in supporting production. In supply, they conducted thorough research and extensive price comparisons for June’s procurement plans, securing stable prices and favorable payment terms to ease financial pressures while ensuring timely deliveries. In logistics, they held rigorous transportation bidding meetings to control costs, optimized vehicle scheduling, and maximized the use of each truck to reduce expenses. As production volumes increased, quality‑control efforts intensified, with the Quality Assurance team working overtime to maintain uncompromising standards—resulting in zero quality complaints from either the shop floor or customers to date. Deputy General Manager Wang Ming explained how the Comprehensive and Business Departments focused on providing robust logistical support. This included promptly confirming drawing revisions and relaying them to technical and manufacturing teams to avoid delays in production. For daily living needs, especially for outsourced workers—many of whom hailed from southern China—the company adjusted meal menus accordingly, ensuring at least one rice‑based dish per day and introducing cooling foods suitable for summer, so frontline staff could eat well and stay nourished. Chief Assistant Qin Duqun outlined measures taken by the Manufacturing and Technical Departments to ensure smooth production. The Technical Department ensured accurate and efficient drawing decomposition, laying a solid foundation for manufacturing. Meanwhile, the Manufacturing Department expanded its outsourcing workforce, staggered equipment usage, optimized space utilization, and rigorously controlled paint‑spraying quality. Kong Xiangbing, Deputy Manager of the Manufacturing Department, underscored that sustained success hinges on ample business reserves, meticulous planning, and effective resolution of production concerns—particularly timely availability of drawings and materials. While significantly increasing outsourced labor and upgrading certain production facilities, the department also prioritized boosting employee morale, fostering unity and maintaining team cohesion, ultimately enabling these remarkable results. Group President Ren Qiliang delivered a concluding address, once again extending congratulations on behalf of Chairman Chen and the entire Group for Shandong Company’s record‑breaking output. He remarked that this visit was specifically motivated by the company’s outstanding performance: “June’s production hit an all‑time high since the factory’s inception, nearly 30% higher than the previous record. In today’s context of ongoing pandemic control, this achievement is truly remarkable.” After hearing the inspiring stories behind Shandong Company’s success, he felt deeply impressed by the unwavering unity and determination of the entire organization, which had worked tirelessly toward a common goal. Led by General Manager Chen Kuanli, the management team demonstrated exceptional strength and execution power. This record‑breaking effort served as a rigorous stress test for every aspect of the company, further highlighting its comprehensive capabilities in human resources, finances, materials, and organizational management. First, the exercise vividly showcased the spirit and demeanor of all Shandong Company employees and its leadership. Attitude truly matters: a deep sense of ownership, unwavering dedication, and an unshakable will to succeed were clearly evident among the people of Shandong Yuegong. This is not only a cherished tradition but also a core competitive advantage in today’s environment—worthy of emulation by other companies and departments within the Group. Second, the test confirmed that Shandong Company’s strategic product positioning—focusing on heavy steel and large‑scale projects—is spot‑on. With a heavier emphasis on heavy steel and more major projects, the company enjoys significant advantages in production organization and efficiency. Although June’s output was impressive, it was concentrated primarily in four key projects. Large projects deliver efficiency, while heavy‑steel initiatives yield high productivity. This experience underscores the importance of aligning product strategy with operational priorities: large‑scale and heavy‑steel projects facilitate better production organization, boost efficiency, and maximize output potential. Third, the exercise reinforced the effectiveness of a goal‑oriented management mechanism. At the end of May, based on a thorough analysis of overall order trends, customer requirements, and project timelines, Shandong Company boldly set a production target far exceeding typical levels. Under normal circumstances, such a lofty goal would seem unattainable given existing resources and production capacity. Yet the courage to set such an ambitious target deserves recognition, and the hard work required to achieve it should be commended. With everyone united around this clear, high‑level objective, June became truly extraordinary. Fourth, the test revealed a comprehensive improvement across multiple dimensions: production organization, on‑site management, equipment capabilities, process sophistication, and quality control. It also highlighted the close collaboration and relentless efforts of all employees, who consistently pushed beyond limits. Equipment and personnel performed at their absolute best under extreme conditions. The very fact that the target was achieved demonstrates the cumulative impact of years of progress and preparation. From the discussions just now, two key takeaways deserve special attention: first, proactive planning pays dividends—anticipating issues related to production organization, material flow, equipment scheduling, and shipping allows for preemptive solutions, saving time and effort. Second, prompt action is essential—addressing problems immediately and resolving them on the same day ensures smooth operations, complemented by regular production meetings and emergency coordination when needed. Fifth, the exercise also exposed areas where improvements are still needed. For instance, hardware constraints—such as equipment and facility limitations—cannot be ignored. Investments must continue where necessary, because only when human potential and material capabilities are optimally combined can greater energy be unleashed. In closing, President Ren emphasized that this symposium sought to bring the story behind the record‑breaking production to life. While the numbers themselves represent the outcome, the real value lies in the excellent practices and innovative measures that made it possible. By carefully reviewing and sharing these valuable experiences, we can build consensus and lay the groundwork for continuous improvement in the future. “Wisdom gathered from many leads to clarity; strength pooled from many achieves success.” Unity and collaborative effort remain the key to Shandong Company’s success in achieving high productivity—and the cornerstone of its sustained operational excellence. This is also the essence of corporate competitiveness. President Ren urged Shandong Company to continue upholding its fine traditions, particularly its leadership and key managers, who should cherish this rare opportunity for fruitful cooperation and maintain a positive, forward‑looking mindset, driving the company toward even greater achievements and making new, substantial contributions to the Group. At noon on the 3rd, Group President Ren Qiliang, accompanied by Executive Vice President Luo Yinchang and other senior leaders, visited Shandong Company’s workshop. There, they warmly greeted frontline workers, reminded them to prioritize safety and health during the sweltering summer, and presented gifts to help combat the heat.
Since the beginning of June, temperatures in Shandong Province have remained persistently high, prompting the provincial meteorological observatory to issue yellow-level heat warnings for five consecutive days. In the sweltering workshop during the dog days of summer, temperatures have soared close to 38°C. Amid this extreme heat, frontline production workers have steadfastly held their posts, demonstrating unwavering dedication and high morale as they endure the grueling test of scorching summer conditions. As welders often say, “A welder holds a flame in their hands—no respite from the searing heat all year round.” Summer is the most challenging season for them. While others complain that life without air conditioning is unbearable, these workers continue to don thick work uniforms and safety boots, painstakingly welding each seam under temperatures few can imagine. Sparks fly, heat batters their bodies, and their clothes become soaked only to dry again, then wet once more, with layers of sweat and salt buildup accumulating on their skin. Meanwhile, in the distance, forklift operators shuttle components back and forth to the painting shop; with every agile turn of the forklift, beads of sweat tumble down. Riveters, too, meticulously align and fasten parts, too preoccupied to wipe away the sweat streaming down their faces and bodies—even the assembly blueprints grow damp with perspiration. To all our dedicated frontline employees, we extend our heartfelt gratitude: “Thank you—for your hard work and perseverance!” Seizing the opportunity presented by the “Safety and Quality Month” campaign, Shandong Company has been striving to boost productivity while prioritizing safety and quality. The C7 plot project at Urban Balcony, a key initiative in Jinan, features a large scale, tight deadlines, and demanding tasks. Under the leadership of General Manager Chen Kuanli, Shandong Company has overcome numerous challenges—including stringent pandemic control measures and labor shortages—by carefully planning and coordinating every stage, from blueprint breakdown and material procurement to fabrication, loading, and transportation. By increasing manpower, upgrading equipment, and optimizing workspace, the company has done everything possible to meet production demands. In June, Shandong Company reported one success after another, with its production workshops bustling with activity. Weekly output neared 1,000 tons, setting new weekly records repeatedly. These achievements are the result of the tireless efforts and concerted teamwork of all cadres and employees in the Manufacturing Department, as well as the close collaboration across all departments within the company. Undaunted by difficulties and unafraid to take on challenges, Shandong’s entire workforce will press forward, upholding the fine tradition of hard work and perseverance, continually honing their skills amid the sweltering heat, and actively contributing to the Group’s growth.

Firmly Upholding Confidence, Overcoming Difficulties, and Embracing Infinite Possibilities — A Record of the Installation of the Prototype for the “Eleven-Story Vertical Circulation Parking System” As urbanization accelerates, the advantages of traditional PSH and PJS mechanical parking systems are gradually diminishing. In cities where land is at a premium, efficiently utilizing limited space to deliver convenient, smart parking has become a major trend. At the beginning of 2019, Yuegong Machinery formally initiated a project under these circumstances, deciding to develop and manufacture an “Eleven-Story Vertical Circulation Parking System” (hereinafter referred to as the PCX prototype). The plan called for completing R&D on the PCX prototype by the fourth quarter of 2019 and finishing its fabrication in the first quarter of 2020. To ensure that all departments—design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance—fully understand the product’s features and to provide a solid foundation for future improvements, the company assembled an internal installation team to carry out the prototype’s installation and commissioning. After conducting a thorough internal assessment, key personnel from manufacturing, maintenance, and technical departments were selected to form the PCX Prototype Installation and Commissioning Task Force. Deputy General Manager Ying Xiaodong was appointed team leader, assuming overall responsibility for the installation and commissioning process. The task force was divided into six functional sub‑teams, each tasked with specific responsibilities: on‑site pre‑assembly and equipment debugging; technical guidance and testing; installation; commissioning; procurement and supply management; and installation supervision and safety oversight. Each sub‑team designated a lead responsible for managing its respective area. Drawing on their individual roles, the functional teams broke down tasks, clearly defined responsibilities, and prioritized rigorous management, ensuring that the installation and commissioning of the prototype would be completed safely, to quality standards, and on schedule. Affected by the COVID‑19 pandemic, the original timeline for completing the PCX prototype installation in the first quarter of 2020 faced mounting pressure. With strong support and close attention from both group and company leadership, all functional teams rallied together, surmounting every challenge with unwavering determination. Embodying the spirit of unity and collective effort, they pushed beyond their own limitations and successfully completed the installation and commissioning of the 11‑story PCX prototype on April 13, laying a solid groundwork for the production, deployment, and market launch of high‑rise parking systems.
