Looking ahead to 2019, we have ambitious goals and grand blueprint, which is our common dream, and also the dream of Jinzhou Jixin. We are all dreamers. Therefore, in 2019, we should continue to carry forward the spirit of hard-working and self-reliant "elder sister-in-law", keep the initiative of newborn calves, continue to uphold the development concept of seeking common ground while reserving differences, mutual benefit and win-win situation, stress responsibility, responsibility, learning, dedication, and strive to do a good job in safety, environmental protection and new products. R&D, product quality, market development and upgrading of equipment level should focus on the implementation of investment projects and cooperative projects, release production capacity to the maximum extent, continue to strengthen the management of both sides, and promote the development of enterprises to high quality.
"It's hard to keep up with the rules, but it's self-fulfilling to start a business." Faced with achievements, we can be proud, but we can not be complacent. The road ahead is longer, the task is more arduous and the challenge is more severe. Only by continuing to struggle and continue to fight, can we achieve sustainable development. "The sun and the moon will not be late, the four seasons urge". Let's join hands, in order to gather faith in the beautiful dream, shake our spirit, store up our strength, strive for dreams in running, dare to activate the creative power hidden in the dream, and jointly meet the vigorous sunrise.
