Looking back at 2013, guided by the principle of “transformational development and the pursuit of excellence” and closely following the 12th Five-Year strategic plan, we responded to various changes with a positive attitude. By intensifying market promotion and continuously advancing the industrialization of new-energy heavy trucks, we not only maintained industry-leading sales but also won the “2013 China Automotive and Parts Industry Development Innovation——Green Environmental Protection Award,” further consolidating our leading position in the new-energy vehicle market. By accelerating the development and layout of international market networks, we strove to achieve greater breakthroughs in exports. Relying on a service-oriented manufacturing strategy, we tapped potential opportunities across the entire product life cycle and the full process of customer operations; aftermarket businesses such as intelligent services, financial leasing, commercial factoring, and logistics and supply chain integration developed innovatively, forming differentiated advantages in the market and forging new core competitiveness. The “Two Focuses” guided forward-development thinking; high-value-added products such as the new M3000 and X3000 were launched to meet evolving customer needs. Through independent innovation and the integration of social resources, we promoted the company's transformation from a traditional manufacturer to a service-oriented manufacturer, achieving major breakthroughs in several business segments. Key economic indicators grew significantly year on year, showing sound development momentum. At the same time, Shaanxi Automobile was awarded the honorary title of “National Corporate Culture Demonstration Base” by the China Enterprise Confederation and the China Enterprise Directors Association, becoming the first company in the industry to receive this honor, laying a solid foundation for realizing the grand goal of a “Hundred-Billion Shaanxi Automobile”……

    These gratifying and inspiring achievements show that our strategy is advanced and clear and our positioning is accurate. At the same time, the results reveal a new Shaanxi Automobile full of vitality and vigor. Here, we should thank not only the development opportunities that transformation has brought to the company but also the unremitting efforts of all Shaanxi Automobile people over the past year!

    Looking ahead to 2014, we should maintain a clear understanding and remain firm in the goal of a “Hundred-Billion Shaanxi Automobile.” At present, China's economic ecosystem is undergoing profound changes; the Chinese and world economies are entering a benign interaction; state-owned enterprise reform has entered deep waters; and competition in the heavy-truck industry is intensifying…… All this presents us with unprecedented opportunities and challenges. We know well that self-reliance builds great enterprises! In 2014, in the course of “transformational development and the pursuit of excellence,” we will strive unceasingly, relying closely on the hard work and ingenuity of all employees, advancing step by step in industrial development and capital operations, and pressing boldly forward toward the goal of a “Hundred-Billion Shaanxi Automobile.” We know well that quality shapes the future! In 2014, we will unite knowledge and action, reform and innovate, set strict requirements in management, be prudent and pragmatic in operations, and master core technologies, painting the magnificent picture of a “Hundred-Billion Shaanxi Automobile” with our diligent hands and pooling the business wisdom of all Shaanxi Automobile people to write a new chapter in history……

    Opportunities coexist with challenges, and glory coexists with dreams! The road to success is always strewn with thorns and mud, yet Shaanxi Automobile people possess unyielding courage, indomitable faith, and the boldness to win the world through virtue. All this is enough to unite our hearts and gather our strength as we ride the waves forward. The New Year has arrived. Let us, with broader vision, clearer thinking, and higher morale, focus on the grand goal of a “Hundred-Billion Shaanxi Automobile” and dedicate our strength to the company's takeoff! Let us shake off the dust of the journey, join hands, summon our energy, and set sail on a new historical voyage with a hundredfold confidence and courage! I believe: united hearts can move Mount Tai!
