At the invitation of Mr. Chen Bailiang, Chairman of the Group’s Board of Directors, a four-member delegation from the Japanese side—comprising President Yagi, Executive Vice Presidents Takagi, Watanabe, and Katsuyama—visited our Zhejiang and Shandong subsidiaries from June 4 to 7. The guests also enjoyed Shanghai’s stunning nighttime views along the Bund. Chairman Chen briefed the delegation on the Group’s history, current operations, and future prospects, while highlighting the profound transformations China has undergone since the launch of reform and opening-up. He urged Japan’s younger generation to deepen their understanding of China and Shaoxing, strengthen communication with their Chinese counterparts, and foster closer friendship. He expressed hope that, amid China’s rapid development, Japan’s youth would find their place and help unlock new avenues for growth within Japanese enterprises. Finally, he emphasized that this visit by the next generation of shareholders would contribute to building lasting, intergenerational friendship between the peoples of China and Japan. In response, the Japanese delegation extended heartfelt gratitude to President Chen for his warm invitation, which afforded them an invaluable opportunity to engage directly with China and its businesses. While they had heard about China’s remarkable changes, they found the reality even more astonishing upon arrival. They noted that the global economic center is gradually shifting from the United States to China, presenting numerous opportunities that Japan should seize. They were particularly impressed by Yuegong Company’s evolution—from a single steel‑structure fabrication firm to a diversified group with nine subsidiaries spread across the country—and voiced sincere admiration for the scale, pace, and promising outlook of these subsidiaries. They pledged to intensify exchanges with the Yuegong Group, seek out suitable projects for collaboration, and explore multifaceted partnerships beyond conventional formats. They also expressed deep appreciation for President Chen’s gracious hospitality and promised to share their positive impressions with their elders upon returning home. Furthermore, they committed to conveying what they had seen, felt, and thought about China to their peers in Japan, thereby helping more Japanese people gain a better understanding of China and Shaoxing, and making their own meaningful contribution to Japan–China friendship. Throughout the visit, both sides engaged in fruitful discussions and exchanges on corporate development. During their brief stay, President Chen also guided the delegation through Yuegong Machinery’s newly built factory and office complex. Following the tour, the guests remarked that Yuegong Machinery’s new facilities were even more impressive than those in Japan, with a modern, elegant office building set amidst a beautifully landscaped environment. In addition, President Chen took the group to Donghu Lake, a scenic spot rich in Shaoxing’s distinctive character, where they enjoyed a traditional Shaoxing‑style black‑canopy boat ride. The region’s unique waterside charm left an indelible impression on the visitors, who lingered long after the experience ended.
