On August 20, HELI-Yufeng officially launched the “LTC End-to-End Management Improvement” project, aimed at establishing a closed-loop operational system spanning market, sales, planning, design, delivery, acceptance, and payment collection. Chairman Li Daoliang, General Manager Xiang Weifeng, Party Branch Secretary Yuan Zheng, senior company leaders, and project team members attended the kick-off meeting. At the meeting, Mr. Xiang delivered the opening address. He noted that the physical integration of the “Three Divisions and One Institute” has been largely completed, and the focus is now shifting to role clarification and talent development. The company has entered a critical stage of aligning business processes with organizational execution. He emphasized that, guided by the Group’s vision of “Top Five Globally, Century-long Heli” and the spirit of “One Team, One Lifetime, Do One Thing Well,” the company will achieve alignment and synergy through confidence in the industry and trust in the team. Mr. Xiang highlighted that despite a slowdown in macroeconomic growth, the intelligent logistics industry continues to grow at over 20% annually. In a highly competitive market where “big fish eat small fish,” management must hold themselves to higher standards: Maintain strong learning capabilities — leverage external expertise, challenge conventional thinking, and broaden self-awareness and global perspective. Strengthen execution — lead by example while building teams capable of tackling challenges effectively. Uphold empathy — understand issues from cross-departmental and customer perspectives to enhance collaboration. Maintain a long-term pragmatic approach — orient all work toward customer and market value, fostering business and team growth, and developing practical solutions and optimized processes. He emphasized that through in-depth collaboration with expert mentors, the company will explore and refine management methods tailored to its own development, balancing organizational capability with technological solutions, and creating a replicable and scalable system. These initiatives will drive the company toward its goal of becoming a leading domestic and world-class intelligent logistics equipment supplier and integrator, meeting the trust and expectations of the Group and leadership. During the meeting, Xu Hui, Deputy General Manager of the Planning Management Center, elaborated on the background and necessity of the LTC project.
