On the morning of July 12, the company's 2024 first-half work summary meeting was held at the multifunctional hall. Chairman Mr. Xie Jianzhong attended and delivered a speech, Chief Scientist Professor Liu Hongmin took the stage to address the meeting, and General Manager Mr. Zhang Luwei presented a comprehensive summary of the first half of the year. Managers at the mid-level and above attended the meeting.

   After a brief opening by the host, the meeting quickly moved into the reporting session, in which the heads of each division took the stage one by one to report on their first-half progress. The reports were grounded in reality — benchmarking against targets, presenting data, and using management tools to analyze gains and losses... In the first half of the year, the company's overall operations remained steady, projects under construction advanced rapidly, and all work proceeded in an orderly manner in line with the annual plan. Meanwhile, the company's development drove continuous improvement in management, broadening the vision of the management team. Everyone is confident in achieving the full-year goals.

   In his speech, Chief Scientist Professor Liu Hongmin affirmed that the first-half restructuring of the R&D team effectively activated the enthusiasm of R&D personnel. He encouraged R&D staff to strengthen their innovation awareness, enhance information communication with the production and marketing departments, and accelerate the transformation of R&D outcomes into economic benefits. In the second half of the year, the company should further recruit high-caliber talent with an international vision and strengthen its talent team building.

  In his summary, General Manager Mr. Zhang Luwei focused on the shortcomings of the first half of the year, emphasizing that production management — including innovation and automation development — should uphold the principle of "safety first, stability as the priority." Management personnel should grasp key points, understand the business, control costs, and strengthen foundational management such as hands-on operations and emergency drills. Guided by the market, they should plan ahead and respond swiftly to meet customer needs in the best, fastest and most optimal way. Mr. Zhang noted that in the second half of the year, the company will continue its efforts toward international certification of its APIs.

  In his speech, Chairman Mr. Xie Jianzhong emphasized firmly holding the bottom line of safety and environmental protection, upholding the mindset of "persistence, focus, innovation and sharing" established at the first-quarter summary meeting, and maintaining the momentum of the first half to strive for the full-year goals. He pointed out that automation development should not be pursued blindly or in an extensive manner, that identification with the corporate culture should be strengthened, and that R&D innovation should stay grounded — serving production and the market and following the company's strategy. Together with sales, the company should deepen and fully explore existing projects. Finally, Chairman Xie noted that no matter how history evolves, we must never stop to watch and hesitate — we should keep running toward our goals, firmly believing that a bright future is achieved through unremitting endeavor
