In July, the sky is brilliantly blue, and the cicadas sing like a melody;
In July, the sea breeze gently blows, brimming with vitality;
In July, let’s join forces and move forward together with one heart!
Innovate with cloud thinking, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. From July 10 to July 14, Zhengda Machinery & Electronics innovatively adopted a simultaneous online and offline approach to hold the “Customer-Centric, Striving Individuals First, Long-Term Hard Work, and Continuous Self-Criticism—Zhengda Machinery & Electronics Mid-Year Thematic Training and Series of Activities for 2025” at the Lingyi Science and Technology Park. The event consisted of five main components: a discussion and sharing session on “The Dry Way,” an executive briefing meeting, a mid-year summary conference, study tour sharing and interactive exchanges, and a study tour to Zhuhai. A total of over 120 mid- and senior-level managers and business elites participated in this series of activities.
01 “The Dry Method” Study and Application Discussion Meeting
Faced with challenges such as intensifying market competition, declining sales orders, and weak momentum in new product development, the company held a special seminar on July 10 titled “Learning from Kazuo Inamori’s ‘The Way of Work’ to Drive Performance Improvement.” President Wang Zhenghu, senior management personnel, heads of functional departments, potential successors, and participants from the Entrepreneurial Talent Development Program gathered in the conference room on the fourth floor of the headquarters to engage in an in-depth discussion on how to learn from and apply Kazuo Inamori’s philosophies to boost the company’s performance.
The meeting pointed out that, given the continued existence of market opportunities, we must reflect on why new customers and new products have failed to effectively translate into company performance. By revisiting the book "The Way of Work," everyone gained a deeper understanding of core concepts such as "creative work," "driven by ambitious goals," "striving for excellence in every single day," and "first and foremost, you must think." This has clarified our direction forward. And the importance of reflection and summary. 。
The meeting was divided into three sessions: morning, afternoon, and evening. In the morning, participants engaged in group discussions on "The Dry Method," during which they identified gaps by relating them to their respective departments' realities and proposed improvement plans. In the afternoon, President Wang shared, through three personal case studies, how to better serve customers ("treat customer procurement as if it were your own business"), optimize the LTC business process, and leverage financial strategies—such as special funds for market expansion and customer support funds—to screen and support potential clients. In the evening, each group presented their findings and received on-site feedback and guidance.

This meeting not only deepened everyone’s understanding of the company’s current challenges but also sparked the team’s enthusiasm for actively brainstorming solutions. Moving forward, the company will continue to deepen its study and practice of Kazuo Inamori’s management philosophy, translating these principles into concrete actions that help break through bottlenecks and drive growth against the odds. We firmly believe that through collective learning and concerted efforts by all employees, we will achieve a comprehensive improvement in performance and ensure the long-term development of the enterprise.
02 Senior Management Briefing on “Professional Skills Training for Business Personnel and Development of Process Systems”
To implement the spirit of the “Workshop on the Business Personnel Training System” held on May 6, and to comprehensively enhance the management capabilities and market order-acquisition skills of our sales team, the company is officially launching a three-month training and assessment-incentive program focused on developing business personnel’s professional competencies and building a robust process system. Guided by the core principles of “improving efficiency through process management, mastering product knowledge and customer insights to calculate profits accurately, and continuously learning and summarizing while working,” this initiative aims to promote knowledge accumulation, experience transfer, and the enhancement of practical capabilities.
On July 11, the company organized its second (and first on June 7) one-day centralized briefing and exchange session. The 10 business departments successively reported on the implementation status of their training programs and the progress made in process development. Members of the board of directors provided on-site comments and guidance.
President Wang emphasized the need to “go all the way down” and genuinely help sales staff secure orders. He stressed the importance of “holding both the Analects and the abacus”—balancing ideological guidance with data-driven decision-making—and focusing on “precision and efficiency,” ensuring that every step—from identifying the target audience to designing the execution strategy—is highly targeted and effective. He also stated that in the third quarter, he would conduct in-depth visits and exchanges with various business units to address frontline challenges in a practical and concrete manner.

In the evening, participants focused their discussions—guided by the principle of “precision (encompassing training participants, product-line leaders, and industry leaders) and efficiency”—on how to rapidly enhance order-acquisition efficiency through targeted training, and they reached a preliminary consensus. Although each product line has already established an initial process framework, challenges remain, including incomplete guidelines, unclear standards, and inconsistent implementation. The next step will be to refine the guidelines and operational standards for each process node specific to individual product lines, ensuring that a draft is completed by the end of July and that the review process is finalized and full-scale training is launched in early August.
This action plan marks a crucial step for the company in building a professional and systematic sales management system, and also lays a solid foundation for achieving a breakthrough in performance in the second half of the year.

In the afternoon of the 14th, all the study-trip participants returned home with rich experiences and memories. On the bus ride back, some participants shared their insights and takeaways from the trip, expressing gratitude to the company for providing them with opportunities to broaden their horizons and engage in cross-regional, cross-departmental, and cross-level learning and exchanges. President Wang offered comments and guidance on the participants’ sharing as well as many details of the trip itself, encouraging the successor trainees to remain curious, humble, and eager to learn; to pay close attention to details; to constantly reflect on themselves; and to cherish every opportunity to interact and learn from outstanding individuals. Whether in work or in daily life and leisure, they should put forth no less effort than anyone else and strive to excel in everything they do.
We believe that under the guidance of President Wang and the company’s senior management team, according to... The 721 Rule involves continuous reflection and practice—holding the Analects in one hand and an abacus in the other—constantly digesting and absorbing the essence of the employee handbook. As a result, both personal growth and the company’s business development will reach a new level.
With a fresh start and a new journey ahead, we will continue to uphold the spirit of “customer-centricity, valuing those who strive hard, enduring long-term hardship, and consistently engaging in self-criticism.” With even greater enthusiasm and high spirits, we will embrace new challenges and create new glories.
