World Zhejiang Merchants Shanghai Forum Wang Junjin: What's next? Zhejiang Merchants always believe

On December 22, Wang Junjin, chairman of Juneyao Group and President of Shanghai Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, said at the 8th World Zhejiang Merchants Shanghai Forum and 2024 Annual meeting of Shanghai Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce that 2024 is a year for Shanghai Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce to seek progress in stability, success in difficulty and better in change.

In the face of the risks and challenges of the external environment, Wang Junjin said:

"Zhejiang Merchants only believe that the road is at the foot, never 'lie to win', and refuse to lie flat, with the backbone of 'never say die' and the mentality of 'laughing at the wind and clouds'. This is Zhejiang Merchants."

Eight million seeds, germinating in the spring breeze.

Wang Junjin recalled the passion and dream of his youth: "This winter seems not too cold, such heat, let my thoughts back to the young time, at that time we all have a flame in the heart, is the ardent hope for life, to live a good life." This flame, meeting the bold and stubborn that Zhejiang people have no place to put, has converged into a powerful force. This power has accumulated for a long time, carrying 8 million seeds, from the coast of the East China Sea to the western plateau, from the black water of the White Mountain to the coconut forest of the South country, from the bank of the Qiantang River to all parts of the world. They are waiting for a spring, a springing spring that will never stop growing."

In the spring thunder of reform, these 8 million seeds germinated once they met the spring breeze, grew from a small seedling to a tree, multiplied and multiplied, and from a tree to a forest. "In fact, whenever I encounter difficulties, I always think back to the days when I started my business. Those fragments of memory, in the long season, support everyone's footsteps, is an inexhaustible motivation to motivate us to move forward. This driving force is the resilience of Zhejiang Merchants, the resilience of China's private economy, from you, me and him, from each of us." Wang Junjin said.

Wang Junjin said, "At the beginning of the year, we sowed the seeds of hope together, went through summer cultivation, and looked forward to the harvest this autumn. "When it comes time to take stock in winter, some may harvest and others may fail. But it doesn't matter. The seeds will sprout. As long as we have expectations, then we will find ways to give the seed more room, more soil, so that it can fully absorb the sun and water."

Never 'lie down to win', nor refuse to lie flat

"Like me, many Zhejiang Merchants like 'Next' very much, unknown but infinite possibilities." For the future of Zhejiang Merchants, Wang Junjin shared four feelings:

First, no matter roads or paths, only innovation is the way to Huashan. "Courage" is the crown of Zhejiang Merchants, is the the most direct expression of "four thousand spirit". The courage to innovate is the "family heirloom" of Zhejiang Merchants business, facing the current transformation from "business" to "innovation", upgrading from "old" to "new", from "green" to "blue" relay and other bottlenecks, only the innovation "top", Zhejiang Merchants can continue to walk in the forefront. Innovation is not only technological innovation, industrial upgrading, management innovation, risk control, the main thing is to form their own core competitiveness, and then to find the market, looking for orders, looking for customers, only "birds cannot fly, there is no place that Zhejiang Merchants cannot go", to go forward, with innovation to open up "new quality" future.

Second, no matter blue or red sea, only fight for overseas market can help us win on the business world. He said that Juneyao Airlines has opened up many new intercontinental routes this year, and Chinese enterprises are facing many difficulties in going to sea, but Chinese entrepreneurs have never given up trying and are always looking for the most suitable solution. Some are looking for regions close to their target customers, such as Mexico; Others need to go to regions with high potential, such as Africa; And places closer to home, like Southeast Asia. "The Zhejiang merchants have to go out in the morning and evening, it is better to go out early than to go out late, and don't think of a way out. The future competition must be global, only go out, have a global vision, enterprises can really do long-term, do intensive." Wang Junjin appealed.

Third, no matter east or west wind, only by standing firm can we gain the upper hand. The new round of technological revolution has brought great impact. Concepts such as "Internet +", "digital +" and "intelligent +" are emerging one after another. The idea of targeting the new blue ocean, laying out new racetracks and iterating new business forms is also gaining momentum. In Wang Junjin's view, every industry has changed and developed in the tide of The Times, but it must not go with the tide. Learning is necessary, innovation is inevitable, but the premise is to adhere to long-term doctrine, to do their main business solid, fine, deep. "Today in the conference issued the Zhejiang Merchants " golden card "award there is a kind of craftsman, the award of these enterprises have been stuck in the industry for more than 20 years, in the face of so many tuyere, so many tracks, so many temptations, no matter how the market changes, are sticking, product is king, service first, keep the right side can innovate."

Fourth, it is extremely difficult, only to carry it cannot be difficult all the time. At present, against the backdrop of increasing uncertainties at home and abroad, some private enterprises are experiencing difficulties in production and operation. Wang Junjin mentioned at the meeting that the seminar on Private Economy Representatives Studying and Implementing the Spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, which he attended recently in Beijing, fully demonstrated the firm position and clear attitude of the Party Central Committee to adhere to the "two unwavering" and promote the "two health". Enterprises should deeply understand and grasp the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, around the Party Central Committee clear and concerned about "stability" what, "progress" what, planning enterprise development, cannot rush to achieve, cannot be satisfied, focus on promoting the development of enterprises to a higher level, and strive to solve employment, create tax revenue, improve people's livelihood, technological innovation and other aspects for the country to make greater contributions to the people. Wang Junjin believes that the upcoming private economy promotion law will give full play to the guarantee role of the rule of law in strengthening the foundation, stabilizing expectations and benefiting the long term, and create a legal environment and social atmosphere conducive to the common development of various ownership economies.

Wang also mentioned that the CPC Central Committee regards private enterprises and entrepreneurs as "one of its own". "' One's own 'is a mutual, two-way concept, one's own people should have the appearance of one's own people, one's own responsibilities, and we should work with our party in one heart and mind, in the same direction, in the same boat, share weal and woe. Zhejiang Merchants should strengthen learning, improve political standing, be consistent with the Party Central Committee in both good and bad times, and become a firm supporter and active participant of comprehensively deepening reform, "he said. Wang Junjin said.

"I believe the difficulties are only temporary. We should soberly see that in the process of crossing the economic cycle, we will face this "slope" that " ridge ", this "wind" that "rain", but Zhejiang merchants only believe that the road at the foot, never "lie to win", also refuse to lie flat, with "never say die" backbone, "laugh at the wind" mentality. This is Zhejiang Merchants." Wang Junjin is cheering on the scene.

"What is Next? It is the infinite possibilities. Together, we strive for excellence, strive to climb, and make our goals a reality. Next is endless expectations. Together, we will brave difficulties, face challenges, and stomp obstacles under our feet. Next was unpredictable. Together, we persevered, worked together, and saw competition as opportunity. Next is full of imagination. Together, we will create breakthroughs, strive for excellence, and make the impossible possible." "He said.
