— An Interview with Chen Bailiang, Chairman of the Board and President of Vietgong Holdings Group
Yuegong Steel Structure Co., Ltd. integrates design, fabrication, and installation under one roof. The company holds a Grade‑I qualification for steel‑structure construction and a Class‑A specialized design qualification for steel structures, operates an independent design institute, and regularly dispatches its technical core personnel to Japan for advanced professional training. With state‑of‑the‑art fabrication facilities in Zhejiang and Shandong, the company has imported complete sets of steel‑structure production and erection equipment from Japan, making it the first enterprise in Zhejiang Province capable of undertaking multi‑story, high‑rise, and large‑span steel‑structure projects. Its projects have repeatedly been recognized with China’s prestigious steel‑structure awards and honors. Through meticulous management, the company delivers high‑quality, efficient projects, building a strong brand image and earning solid market credibility, thereby winning widespread acclaim and demonstrating Yuegong Steel Structure’s formidable expertise in the field of steel‑structure construction. By implementing scientific, standardized, and civilized on‑site management, rigorously adhering to national standards, codes, and regulations, and upholding the corporate mission of “people‑oriented, striving for excellence,” Yuegong Steel Structure has remained committed to revitalizing and advancing China’s steel‑structure industry, creating inspiring spaces that resonate with clients. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of its team, numerous projects have been honored with the China Steel Structure Gold Award (a national quality prize) and the Zhejiang Provincial Steel Structure Diamond Award, earning unanimous praise from a broad base of clients.
Chen Bailiang, a man who has weathered life’s many trials, is both a college graduate and an entrepreneur from a rural background, as well as a quintessential Confucian‑businessman. He is modest and prefers to keep a low profile, yet he tirelessly labors for the growth of his enterprise, his hair now streaked with gray. He notes that in this new century and new stage, steel‑structure companies face profound changes in their environment, circumstances, mission, and tasks; at present, strengthening and solidifying Yuegong Steel Structure stands as the top priority. As the saying goes, “No matter how tall a tree grows, it never forgets its roots.” Chen Bailiang built his career on steel structures, and Yuegong Steel Structure, by introducing and assimilating Japan’s advanced steel‑structure design and manufacturing technologies, now operates multiple production lines for light‑steel, heavy‑steel, and box‑section columns and beams, placing it among the domestic leaders. The company remains firmly committed to high‑tech innovation, maintaining close collaborations with a first‑class Japanese architectural firm—I&WORK Engineering Design Co., Ltd.—as well as with numerous prestigious Chinese universities and research institutes, all aimed at developing and creating steel‑structure projects that are simple, stylish, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Ultimately, it is steel structure itself that has forged Yuegong Steel Structure’s indomitable spirit and upheld the nation’s backbone. Today, there is widespread consensus on the value of diversity and harmony. While achieving rapid growth in Zhejiang, Yuegong Steel Structure has leveraged its core steel‑structure business to pursue a strategy of “going global and expanding development.” In 2003, it acquired 150 mu of land in Shandong, constructing over 40,000 square meters of factory space and establishing Shandong Yuegong Steel Structure Co., Ltd., with an annual output exceeding 60,000 tons of steel components, thus serving as a major production and processing base in northern China. In just a few short years, Shandong Yuegong Steel Structure has become one of Shandong Province’s leading large‑scale steel‑structure enterprises, earning a first‑class steel‑structure manufacturing qualification. It has also successively set up branches and representative offices in Xinjiang, Wuhan, Nanjing, Tianjin, Hefei, Ningbo, and other locations, further broadening its industrial footprint.
As enterprises grow, financing often becomes a bottleneck hindering their development. With the support of the Zhejiang Provincial Government, Shaoxing Yuecheng District Huiyuan Micro‑Loan Co., Ltd., chaired by Chen Bailiang, has emerged as a key player. While providing convenient access to capital for small and micro‑enterprises, it has also secured the most critical link in Yuegong’s industrial chain, thereby ensuring the company’s own sustainable growth. Yuegong is committed to revitalizing and advancing China’s steel‑structure industry, aligning itself with international standards in steel‑structure manufacturing. Recognizing the paramount importance of talent, Chen Bailiang personally spearheaded the formulation of the “Yuegong Talent‑Development System,” adhering to a win‑win partnership model between academia and industry. The company directly recruits top graduates from universities for on‑the‑job training, sends employees to Japan and domestic institutions specializing in steel‑structure engineering, and implements strategies such as cultivating talent in‑house, sending staff abroad for advanced training before bringing them back to work at Yuegong, as well as attracting outstanding professionals from around the world—all aimed at strengthening Yuegong’s human‑resource capabilities.
In recent years, while maintaining its core business in the original industries, Yuegong has achieved significant growth in sectors such as power, bridge construction, railways, shipbuilding, and chemicals. At the same time, it has expanded internationally, undertaking steel‑structure projects in countries including Thailand, Angola, and Japan. Driven by technological innovation, Yuegong Steel Structures has not only strengthened and scaled up the steel‑structure industry but also developed related ancillary businesses. The company has independently designed and manufactured specialized machinery for steel‑structure fabrication; among these, the YGJ‑type steel band saw machine was included in the Ministry of Science and Technology’s Torch Program. Its self‑developed profiling punch presses, hydraulic punches, and CNC planar drilling machines have also been well received by customers, earning three invention patents and leading to the designation of Yuegong as a National Key High‑Tech Enterprise by the Ministry of Science and Technology. In addition, Yuegong has obtained manufacturing qualifications for bridge and gantry cranes and for steel‑structure multi‑storey parking systems, along with corresponding certifications for the installation, modification, and maintenance of related special equipment. To support its role as a general contractor, the company has established a construction subsidiary and expanded into the real estate sector. These strategic extensions and diversifications have all played a vital role in advancing the steel‑structure industry.
