Thank you for being with us—welcome, our former leader, “home”!
Background Introduction: Yuegong Group was restructured from Shaoxing Heilmans Group Co., Ltd. Heilmans Group originated as the former Shaoxing Bicycle Factory, whose roots can be traced back to the time-honored “He Wanxiang Wok Factory” during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Later, it was renamed the “Shaoxing Pottery Factory He Faxiang Cookware Factory.” According to the “Shangyu County Gazetteer,” in the 27th year of the Guangxu era (1901), the “He Wanxiang Wok Factory” opened in Baiguan Town and later relocated to downtown Shaoxing. At that time, the iron woks produced by the “He Wanxiang Wok Factory” not only supplied the entire province but were also exported nationwide, making it a highly influential wok‑casting enterprise. After the founding of New China, the cookware factory was transformed into the “Shaoxing Agricultural Machinery Factory” (the predecessor of the Shaoxing Bicycle Factory). Over the course of more than a century—moving from manufacturing woks and agricultural machinery to bicycles—the factory has evolved into today’s steel‑structure business. Through generations of skilled artisans, it has chronicled the growth of New China like a micro‑film, ultimately giving rise to the present-day Yuegong. On January 11, 2018, Yuegong welcomed a special group of distinguished guests—former leaders and employees of the original Shaoxing Bicycle Factory (the predecessor of Yuegong): Xu Wencheng, former Deputy Director of the Shaoxing Municipal People’s Congress and former employee of the Agricultural Machinery Factory; Zhang Jiacao, former Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government; Ruan Peibin, former director of the Bicycle General Factory; and Wang Qiunong and Jiang Lijuan, former employees of the Agricultural Machinery Factory. Now in their advanced years, they gathered at Yuegong to revisit the workplace where they once devoted their energy and sweat. More importantly, in their eyes, Yuegong stands as the rightful inheritor of this century-old enterprise. At the entrance, Chairman Chen Bailiang, President Ren Qiliang, Executive Vice President Jiang Jinlong, and Vice Presidents Luo Yinchang, Tang Genmei, and Hua Yuwu, together with representatives of the bicycle factory’s veteran staff, Li Xin’er and Wu Jiamin, warmly greeted the visiting leaders and held a cordial discussion. On behalf of the company, Chairman Chen Bailiang welcomed the veterans “home,” briefly outlining Yuegong’s recent development. He noted that, while steadily expanding its core steel‑structure business, Yuegong has also focused on structural adjustments, launched green prefabricated construction solutions, and included an IPO in its three-year plan. For several consecutive years, the company has been recognized among the top 30 enterprises in China’s steel‑structure industry. “The achievements we have attained today are built upon the solid foundation laid by our esteemed predecessors,” he emphasized. With deep emotion, he added, “My own management experience was painstakingly passed down to me by leaders like Director Ruan.” Since its inception, Yuegong has tirelessly upheld the spirit of craftsmanship and carried forward the cultural legacy of earlier generations of managers, enabling the company to flourish as it stands today. In closing, he expressed heartfelt gratitude for the long-standing care and support of these veteran leaders, urging them to continue watching over Yuegong’s progress, offering valuable advice, and wishing them continued health and happiness. The veteran leaders voiced their satisfaction with Yuegong’s development, reminiscing fondly about the past: from the renowned “He Wanxiang Wok Factory” whose reputation spread far and wide, to the early days of the Agricultural Machinery Factory when it helped manufacture weapons for the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and later to the bicycle factory’s golden age, when the “Phoenix” brand was so popular it could hardly keep up with demand. As the “successor” and “continuator” of this storied enterprise, they expressed hope that Yuegong would always preserve the fine traditions cultivated over many decades, breathe new life into the company, and achieve even more vigorous growth. Xu Wencheng, former Deputy Mayor of Shaoxing and former employee of the Agricultural Machinery Factory, remarked: “As a century-old enterprise, Yuegong must forge ahead with determination, striving for prosperity through steady progress. I hope Yuegong will excel in three key areas: first, consolidating its core business by refining and specializing; second, accelerating transformation and upgrading toward an IPO; and third, embracing innovation by vigorously developing green prefabricated construction. With dedication, anything is achievable.” Zhang Jiacao, former Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and family member of a bicycle factory employee, emphasized: “Unity within the leadership team is paramount. By opening doors to international cooperation along the Belt and Road Initiative, Yuegong can expand its reach. I also hope Yuegong will intensify its marketing efforts and market expansion, while achieving further breakthroughs in technological research and development.” Ruan Peibin, former director of the Bicycle Factory, added: “As an extension of the bicycle factory’s legacy, I hope Yuegong will remain committed to quality and work tirelessly to build a strong, recognizable Yuegong brand.” The earnest expectations and heartfelt wishes of these veteran leaders deeply inspired and moved everyone present, providing a vivid lesson in corporate history and heritage. It reinforced the importance of remembering our origins, preserving our culture, staying true to our mission, and forging ahead with determination.
Spring Festival Fun Sports Meet
As the 2018 New Year approached, to create a festive atmosphere, the Machinery Company hosted an innovative New Year–themed sports event on the afternoon of the 29th. Throughout the entire afternoon, the venue was filled with enthusiastic cheers, shouts, and applause. This year’s fun sports meet broke away from the traditional grouping system based on workshops and departments, better reflecting fairness and a spirit of unity. Four team captains took the lead, independently selecting their teammates—a practice that also upheld the cherished tradition of giving priority to women. Once formed, each team bonded closely, striving together for ultimate victory. A total of 46 participants competed, with four company executives serving as the officiating panel. The event featured seven engaging activities: a “pig‑catching” relay race, a one‑legged hop relay, balloon‑stomping, “carrot squat,” cooperative race walking, a table tennis match, an “indestructible wind‑fire wheel,” and a group tug‑of‑war. These included both individual contests and collaborative challenges, creating an atmosphere of lively excitement. Employees worked in unison, competing bravely and pushing themselves to the limit. Each event tested not only physical strength and ingenuity but also fostered teamwork and solidarity. Cheers and shouts echoed throughout the venue, while the unique and entertaining events sent waves of laughter rippling through every corner of the field. During the cooperative race walk, teams of five pulled forward with all their might; two teams lost their balance, causing the entire squad to tumble—prompting uproarious laughter. When the final grand finale—the tug‑of‑war—began, every participant shouted rallying cries, gripped the long rope tightly, and strained with all their strength, pulling back with red faces and flushed cheeks. Team spirit shone brightly. Cheerleaders cheered loudly for their respective teams, further energizing the atmosphere. Particularly in the battle for first place, the two teams were evenly matched, making for a fiercely contested showdown that was only decided in a tiebreaker! Despite the intense competition, the spirit of “friendship first, competition second” remained deeply ingrained in everyone’s hearts, and the principle of “safety first” stayed firmly in mind. Participants encouraged one another throughout the events, and the entire venue was immersed in a joyful, harmonious ambiance. After three hours of spirited competition, the fun sports meet concluded amid laughter and celebration, with the team led by Shi Yifeng taking the top prize. After the event, Captain Shi remarked: “Our team’s success was due not only to our collective effort but also to my careful preparation beforehand—selecting the right members for each event proved crucial.” To mark the occasion, the company presented generous prizes. These entertaining activities not only enriched employees’ leisure time and improved their physical health but also strengthened friendships, boosted corporate cohesion, and reinvigorated the enthusiasm and motivation of all staff, enabling them to approach their work in 2018 with renewed energy and vigor!

A friendly visiting delegation from Fujiyoshida City, Japan, paid a visit to our company.
Previous episode: This year marks the 20th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Shaoxing City and Fujinomiya City. Led by Mayor Hidechika Sudo, a Japanese delegation from Fujinomiya visited Shaoxing on November 14–15, engaging in exchanges and study sessions with the Shaoxing Municipal Government, the Friendship Association, and various civic organizations, thereby advancing the friendly ties between the two cities and strengthening mutual friendship. On the afternoon of November 14, 2017, Mayor Hidechika Sudo of Fujinomiya, accompanied by Yu Ping, Deputy Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of Shaoxing, and Pan Yaying, Deputy Director of the Exchange Division, paid a visit to the Zhejiang headquarters of Yuegong Group. The group was warmly received by Chairman Chen Bailiang and President Ren Qiliang, along with other senior leaders. In the conference room of the Group’s machinery division, Chairman Chen Bailiang provided the Japanese delegation with a brief overview of Yuegong Group’s background, sharing his personal reflections and experiences during the process of establishing diplomatic relations between the two cities. He vividly recalled how, 26 years ago, he had been warmly welcomed and supported by his friends in Fujinomiya while studying and exchanging ideas in Japan. He also expressed deep gratitude for the technical expertise and invaluable experience generously shared by Japanese shareholders when Yuegong was first founded. In turn, Mayor Hidechika Sudo addressed the gathering, noting that Yuegong’s growth stands as a testament to the strong bond and profound friendship between Shaoxing and Fujinomiya. Over the past two decades, the two cities have engaged in extensive and fruitful exchanges and cooperation. He expressed great satisfaction at seeing enterprises like Yuegong evolve and thrive through transformation and upgrading, and hoped that both localities would take this 20th anniversary as a new starting point to further deepen their interactions and collaboration, thus propelling their friendly relations to even greater heights. Following the talks, the Group’s leadership posed for a commemorative photo with the distinguished guests, capturing this rare and meaningful encounter. Postscript: Twenty-six years ago, Chairman Chen traveled to Fujinomiya for training and subsequently encouraged four prominent Japanese companies—Nakazato Electroplating, Yagi Steel, Meiwa Industries, and Katsuyama Industries—to invest in China, bringing advanced steel‑structure technology to Shaoxing. From initial economic exchanges to people-to-people friendships and cultural interactions, and ultimately to the formal establishment of a sister-city relationship, Yuegong has played a pivotal role as a bridge connecting Shaoxing and Fujinomiya.

On October 31, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping led the newly elected members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on a special trip from Beijing to Shanghai and Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province. There, they paid homage at the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and aboard the Red Boat on Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing, revisiting the history of the Party’s founding, reaffirming their oath of admission, and delivering an important speech. Facing the Party flag, the new leadership team solemnly took their oath, their sincere emotions and unwavering convictions deeply moving, inspiring, and motivating every Party member, thereby greatly strengthening their resolve to keep their入党誓词 firmly in mind and dedicate their lives to the Party. In order to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the CPC, further unify thinking, rally strength, and remain committed to following the Party, on November 5, Comrade Luo Yinchang, Party Branch Secretary of Shandong Yuegong Steel Structure Co., Ltd., led all Party members on a visit to Xibai Po, a sacred revolutionary site. With immense excitement and reverence, they studied the Party’s history, renewed their vows of admission, and participated in a highly meaningful organizational activity. Although what we saw there was merely a few simple mud-brick houses, with furnishings so rudimentary they seemed almost “primitive,” and a life marked by simplicity and frugality, it was precisely in this remote rural area that Chinese Communists accomplished earth-shattering feats. Chairman Mao and the CPC Central Committee once led here the nationwide land reform movement, further solidifying the Party’s mass base; they also directed the three major campaigns—Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin—which shocked both China and the world, annihilating or reorganizing over 1.54 million Kuomintang troops; moreover, they convened the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee, a meeting of historic significance, during which Chairman Mao issued his famous admonition to the entire Party: “We must ensure that our comrades continue to maintain a style of humility, prudence, modesty, and steadiness; we must also ensure that they continue to uphold the spirit of hard work and perseverance.” Through this organized activity, we gained a deeper understanding of the Party’s arduous journey, learned from the noble spirit of our revolutionary predecessors, and drew strength to forge ahead from the Party’s glorious history. We came to realize that memorizing the Party membership oath is not difficult; what truly matters is upholding it throughout one’s life, regularly comparing ourselves against it, and remaining steadfast and unwavering until the end. We recognized that only by staying true to our original aspiration can we honor history and our forebears, win the hearts of the people and seize the opportunities of our times, achieve success through diligent effort, and press forward without hesitation, always preserving the original aspirations of Communists. Furthermore, we deeply understood the goals and tasks set forth by the 19th National Congress for the entire Party: to bear in mind our fundamental purpose, strengthen our ideals and convictions, maintain fine conduct, and earnestly shoulder the missions and responsibilities entrusted to us by the Party and the people in the new era.
