On the afternoon of July 13, 2015, the Group invited Chen Liangjie, a specially appointed lecturer from the School of Management at Zhejiang University, to conduct a training session on enterprise production and operational management. A total of 65 participants—including Group executives, assistant general managers and above from each subsidiary, as well as administrative staff from companies across the Zhejiang region—attended the session in the fourth-floor conference room of the Group’s headquarters complex.

Professor Chen approached the topic from the perspectives of industrialization and marketization, urbanization, modernization, and internationalization, elucidating the essence of business operations and management and their interrelationships. He pointed out that business operations involve identifying and developing markets, setting objectives, formulating plans, and allocating resources, while corporate management entails streamlining workflows, enhancing efficiency, controlling costs, ensuring quality, and continuously identifying and resolving issues throughout the management process. In essence, operations are about doing the right things, whereas management is about doing things right; what we should strive for is to do the right things in the right way. Operations serve as the driving force, while management lays the foundation—and management must support and serve operations. If the foundation is weak, even the strongest structures will falter; only when management keeps pace can operations continue to advance. For enterprises to grow larger and stronger, they must first prioritize operations, thoroughly study the market and customers, and deliver tailored products and services to both existing and potential clients. He noted that, from an architectural standpoint, there has been a progression—from mud‑brick huts to brick-and-tile structures, then to reinforced concrete, and finally to steel‑frame buildings—indicating that steel construction still holds great potential. Regarding enterprise transformation and upgrading, he recommended adopting a multi‑pronged approach: expanding from single channels to diversified ones, moving from low‑end to high‑end offerings, upgrading products and industries, shifting from manufacturing to services, integrating the industrial value chain, and transitioning from extensive to refined management. He particularly emphasized that “refined management” means squeezing every last bit of value out of even the most seemingly exhausted resources. Finally, Professor Chen advised us to focus broadly on initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative, Made in China 2025, and Internet Plus, while internally strengthening process management, team building, and project management. By comprehensively elevating the three key dimensions of management—efficiency, quality, and cost—we can lay a solid groundwork for sustained growth and competitiveness.

Ren Qiliang, President of the Group Company, delivered an on-site summary of the training session, noting that Teacher Chen Liangjie’s presentation was energetic, broad in scope, deeply analytical, and rich in substance. In particular, his discussions of such topics as the Belt and Road Initiative, “Internet Plus,” and Industry 2.0 were thought‑provoking and deserving of close attention. We must align ourselves with prevailing trends, integrate with national strategies, and consider how traditional enterprises can achieve intelligent transformation and digitalization. President Ren emphasized that management is fundamental, and that team‑level development is the very foundation of that foundation; thus, effectively strengthening team building is of paramount importance, and all companies must attach great significance to this task. In the face of a challenging economic environment, we must prioritize implementation and action, eschew rigid adherence to established practices, squarely confront reality, focus on our respective roles, refine our work, invigorate our spirit, and unite in concerted effort—doing everything possible to overcome difficulties and rise anew, like the phoenix from the ashes.

The nearly two-hour training session proved highly beneficial to all participants and yielded excellent results.
