In her speech, Tan Zhen, Secretary of the Hai'an Municipal Party Committee, stated that the annual meeting of the Suzhong Group has arrived as scheduled, and the mood at this time of year is both "heavy" and "relieved": heavy as Suzhong Group is still struggling to move forward in difficulties, heavy as the grievances suffered by the special team in the process of helping Suzhong Group coordinate and resolve conflicts and disputes, and heavy as the strict business environment in some places towards Suzhong; But more importantly, I am pleased with the persistent and tenacious efforts of Suzhong Group, its tax contributions to my hometown, and the stable employment and happiness of tens of thousands of employees in Suzhong Group. Behind this, it is the result of the joint efforts of the Hai'an Party Committee and Government, various levels of specialized teams, financial institutions, relevant partners, and all Suzhou Chinese people.

Secretary Tan emphasized that the future will be very difficult, but Su Zhong Group still needs to maintain confidence. Confidence comes from the numerous targeted policies introduced by the country, the continued support of the Hai'an Party Committee and Government, and the unity and responsibility of Su Zhong people over the past three years. Looking towards the future, Suzhong Group will continue to make efforts in going global and cooperating with central and state-owned enterprises, strengthen internal management, practice hard, improve quality and efficiency, cultivate teams, seek opportunities in times of crisis, and seek new development. The spirit behind the people of Suzhong represents the spirit of the people of Hai'an. This spirit evolved from the "Seven Battles and Seven Victories Spirit" and embodies the diligence, pragmatism, struggle, and indomitable spirit of Hai'an's construction personnel. In the new era, this spirit can promote the stable and progressive development of Hai'an's economy and society, and help the construction industry achieve greater rebirth in the "Phoenix Nirvana".

Finally, Secretary Tan quoted the ending of Gorky's famous work "Haiyan" as follows: "This is the brave Haiyan, flying proudly on the roaring sea and amidst lightning; this is the victorious prophet shouting: let the storm come even more fiercely!" This encourages all the soldiers of the Soviet Union to pack up and set off again in 2025!

The Chairman of Suzhong Group, Qi Honghu, stated that in the past year, the market recovery did not meet expectations, and the industry competition has intensified. Despite this, Suzhong Group has achieved good results. This year, the Municipal Party Committee, Municipal People's Congress, Municipal Government, Municipal Union, relevant units, and financial institutions have continued to show concern and support. Our partners and all Suzhou Chinese people have helped each other and overcome difficulties together, which has made us feel warm. In the new year, the overall strategy and goal of Su Zhong remain unchanged, focusing on the three key tasks of "clearing debts, resolving debts, and undertaking projects". Like Yu Gong moving mountains, we will work hard for a long time and make progress day by day.

One must firmly establish the goal. Our ultimate goal for next year and the coming years is to 'survive'. The construction industry has bid farewell to yesterday's glory, but it is still an industry that Su Zhong must adhere to at present. What we want to do and what we can do are two different things, we need to decide based on our own conditions. Now it's urgent, unable to stop, unable to turn. Don't dwell on macroeconomic uncertainty, it's important to find something constant from it. There are at least a few things that will not change in the future of the construction industry: good houses, low labor, and low costs. These are the fundamental needs for long-term stability in the construction industry.

Secondly, we need to lock in responsibility. Since the beginning of this year, the group has signed target responsibility agreements with various units, and now the key is to fulfill them. There is never a calm time to run a business. In the next few years, whether Su Zhong can break through depends on the support of all parties and its own efforts. Everyone should not tell stories, but tell the truth, always thinking about big goals and doing small things. The most painful times are often the fastest growing times. Don't let go of the pain you have experienced. Life is about losing and having at the same time.

Thirdly, we must embrace change. Suzhong no longer worries about losing anything, only letting go and boldly making changes. One is to change the mechanism. Old projects, old methods, new projects, new mechanisms. Adjust the interests in place and allocate limited incentive resources to contributors. The second is to improve efficiency. Make up your mind to clean up inefficient and ineffective assets and organizations, reduce intermediate links, further reduce costs and increase efficiency, and fully support the high-quality and large-scale development of capable and efficient teams. The third is to build capacity. Expand organizational capabilities, enhance team capabilities, strengthen urban renewal and beautiful rural construction capabilities, and extend to the manufacturing industry. Choose strong and complementary central state-owned enterprises for deep cooperation, seek markets and projects overseas, and strive for greater achievements.

Finally, Chairman Qi encouraged all Su Zhong people: Yu Gong moved the mountains and made progress day by day. After more than three years of hard work and suffering, the people of Suzhong have developed the perseverance to refuse failure and the will to overcome difficulties. The true hero is to recognize the truth of the construction industry and still love it!

At the meeting, Suzhong Group commended 108 advanced collectives and 81 outstanding individuals. In 2024, with the joint efforts of all Su Zhong people, the group achieved a construction output value of over 40 billion yuan, local tax revenue of over 300 million yuan, stable major economic indicators, effective implementation of key tasks, and outstanding achievements in cooperation between central and state-owned enterprises, overseas market development, scientific and technological innovation, quality and safety, organizational construction, and party building culture.

The performance of the storytelling stage play "Responsibility" takes a story of the special team's support for Suzhong as the starting point, demonstrating the warm care and concern that all parties have given to Suzhong, while expressing Suzhong's gratitude to the hometown government and its unwavering original intention to uphold its responsibilities.

The past year has been the third year for Su Zhong to forge ahead in adversity, standing firm in the wind and rain, relying on the joint force of all parties twisting together to fight back, relying on our struggle, perseverance, and determination, and relying on our firm steps to embark on a new journey of high-quality development... Su Zhong's young employees paid tribute to all these forces with keynote speeches such as "Endless Vitality", "Burning Brilliance", and "Daily Progress"!
