Yao Bing: Distinguished experts, professors, scholars, real estate tycoons, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! I am very pleased to say a few more words about the modernization of the construction industry and the transformation and upgrading of real estate enterprises. Regarding the modernization of the construction industry, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed innovation as the primary driving force for development. China is a developing country that is catching up. Now we... With the "Made in China 2025" initiative, the construction and real estate industries face both significant opportunities and major challenges. Urban development, rural transformation, and the future transition of rural areas are crucial to the well-being of countless families. The construction and real estate industries, as pillars of the national economy, must work together to modernize. As a new form of industrialization, higher technological content leads to better economic benefits, higher quality and safety, and less environmental pollution. We must earnestly learn from the mistakes of prioritizing inspection over management and scale over quality and safety, avoiding the old path of polluting first and then cleaning up. Let us work together to overcome the difficulties and embark on a new path of modernization for the construction industry.
Standardization of construction, including ISO 9000 and international quality assurance systems, is essential. Building a factory is like manufacturing a product. Housing industrialization is another crucial aspect; Japan adopted industrialized production methods in the 1960s to improve labor productivity. We must focus on modern production methods, modern practices in real estate companies, and modern management models within the industry. We must use industrial modernization to transform shoddy production methods and develop the housing industry. Promoting the application of modern technology will improve housing construction standards and enhance the quality of life. Green building includes green design and green construction, green materials, and green construction practices. Construction technology, etc. Building technology optimization: We have information-based reinforcement and monitoring technologies in China, as well as waterproofing and fireproofing technologies. This reflects construction methods and patents; the key is that these technologies and methods are highly regarded domestically, attracting significant attention from various enterprises.
New building components, steel-wood doors and windows, aluminum doors and windows, etc. Construction equipment includes processing machinery, hoisting machinery, foundation construction machinery, longitudinal and transverse transportation machinery, and mechanical engineering machinery. Modernized construction management includes our current owner responsibility system and construction supervision system. Sustainable development of buildings, including disaster resistance and recyclability.
For real estate companies to transform and upgrade, development philosophy is the guide to development actions. Managing the overall situation, the fundamentals, the direction, and long-term matters. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed five major development concepts to guide new development. This means internalizing these five key principles, improving systems with more favorable measures, and incorporating these five major ideas into work tasks for transformation and upgrading, making them a powerful force for the new development of my country's real estate enterprises during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. With real estate development investment growing at an average annual rate of 20.7%, real estate enterprises face the challenge of rapid and healthy development. How to transform and upgrade? Towards quality and efficiency, including structural quality and functional quality. What benefits will be achieved: economic benefits, social benefits, and environmental benefits. Environmental benefits. Technology-led and innovation-driven development, including original innovation, grassroots innovation, and the absorption, assimilation, and reinvention of imported technologies. Resource conservation: all resources, including information, financial, and renewable resources, should be used intensively and efficiently. Cooperation and openness: improving the enterprise market and enhancing enterprise capabilities. Industry-academia-research-application cooperation and supply chain cooperation. Expanding business types, including real estate company listings and mergers and acquisitions in the real estate industry. Humanistic and cultural focus: being people-oriented, improving team atmosphere, and enhancing spirit, integrity, wisdom, and intelligence. Social responsibility: focusing on corporate social responsibility. Organizational learning: establishing learning organizations, i.e., learning by doing; as General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed, we must learn how to learn and then learn again.
We must have a strategic mindset that keeps pace with the times and a global perspective, ensuring that innovation permeates all aspects of the Party and the country's work on the new journey. For our real estate industry, there is still considerable room for growth. We must place innovation in a prominent position in the development of the real estate industry, allowing it to play a vital role. As employees and owners of real estate companies, we must be courageous and responsible, fully recognizing that the reforms of our time are timely, and striving to make the greatest progress in the new wave of industrial revolution, seizing development opportunities, and solving development challenges.
