Li Hongli, on behalf of Gitane Company, expresses sincere gratitude and high respect to the party committees, governments, and all sectors of society at all levels, to all cadres, employees, and families of Gitane Company, and to retired comrades who have always cared about the reform and development of Gitane Company. He pointed out that in 2025, Gitane Company will be in four "overlapping" periods: a downturn in the market, a period of deepening reform, a period of interweaving new and old problems, and a period of survival and development testing. Despite the twists and turns of the road, it has withstood the test, honed the team, accumulated experience, and accumulated strength. The achievements are the result of the strong leadership of the group, the strong support of the Beijing Municipal Government, and the arduous efforts of the vast number of cadres and workers.
Li Hongli pointed out that 2026 is the starting year of the 15th Five Year Plan, and also a year for Gitane Company to embark on a new journey in the new era, break through internal competition in the market, build core advantages, seek opportunities in difficulties, and gain glory in thorns. We must deeply recognize the extreme importance and historical mission of this period. All party members, cadres, and employees should unite and work hard according to the indicators and tasks of the 15th Five Year Plan, adhere to the guidance of party building, comprehensively strengthen cadre management, promote ideological liberation and ideological turning of all cadres and employees; Taking the two-level roles of the large scheduling mechanism and the financial control center as important management carriers, we implement four ultimate policies in value creation, cost control, human efficiency improvement, and market development to enhance management efficiency; The dual center structure of the Electric Heating Research Institute and the Digital Transformation Research Promotion Center is the highest innovation engine, making the implementation of ultra pure electric heating alloys a reality, integrating digital systems, and forming an integrated governance pattern of "strategic control research innovation" two-way empowerment and circular improvement. Refactoring Steel Flower Electric Heating with practical work, technology, innovation, and digitization, defining a new future for the company's development, and ensuring that all sales revenue and profit targets are achieved by 2030.
In his concluding speech, Li Gang pointed out that the discussion groups had heated discussions and deep thoughts, and the highlights of the achievements summarized in the report were comprehensive, objective, and practical. 2025 is the final year of the 14th Five Year Plan, and also the decisive year for Gitane Company to temper its resilience in the wind and waves and open up a new chapter in the changing situation. Looking back at 2025, we have experienced the cold winter of the market together. The strong leadership of the Party committee has kept the helm steady, and all Party members, cadres, and employees have worked hard. We understand how to persist, deeply cultivate, dare to break through, and improve our internal strength. We have seized the changes in the market and evolved, been pragmatic and enterprising, transformed for strength, stabilized the market, and stabilized the basic business foundation.
Li Gang pointed out that the achievement of the "14th Five Year Plan" is the result of all cadres and employees practicing the "Four Thousand Spirit" and striving to shift from defense to development under severe market challenges. We are aware that the achievements are hard won and fundamentally lie in the two-way rush of the strong leadership of the Party committee and the hard work and dedication of the employees. We are well aware that whether it is inherent deficiencies or problems under new circumstances, we must make up our minds to improve in order to consolidate the foundation for the development of the 15th Five Year Plan. We have discussed and reached a consensus on the tasks for 2026, and we are confident in completing them.
Li Gang stated that the past events during the 14th Five Year Plan period are vivid in his memory. At a critical moment when the market was plummeting, the Party Committee accurately assessed and issued a call for "unity to overcome difficulties" on August 19, 2024, launching a "people's war". We not only work hard internally to improve our skills and protect our positions and salaries, but also adjust our strategies externally and explore new markets such as the mid to high end and the transition from gas to electricity. Subsequently, deployment plans such as "How to Break Through Market Expansion" were issued, which clearly transformed the passive "enduring the winter" into active "winter training" and "winter warfare". With the iron army spirit of "fighting and seizing", relying on extraordinary mobilization and the "four thousand spirit", the market finally achieved a difficult breakthrough and stabilized the basic business situation. Looking back on the past five years, we have adhered to the dual wheel drive of technological innovation and management innovation. Our research and development system has been upgraded to an electric heating research institute, which has won multiple national and provincial science and technology management awards. Our digital transformation has shaped intelligent factories, and multiple processes have achieved automated operation. With market momentum, we have opened up a second growth curve and successfully entered the downstream of the industry chain with the "gas to electricity" technology. At the same time, we have solidified our management foundation, overcome numerous historical challenges, and gained recognition, love, and resource empowerment from governments, groups, and other levels.
Li Gang, on behalf of the company's party committee and leadership team, expressed his heartfelt gratitude and highest respect to all cadres and employees for their hard work and dedication over the past five years!
Li Gang emphasized that in order to better plan for the future, we must first clarify which practices are correct and effective during the 14th Five Year Plan period:
The first is to adhere to the strong leadership of the Party committee, fully play the core role of "managing the overall situation and ensuring implementation", adhere to the guidance of Party building, and deeply integrate Party building with business operations.
Secondly, we must resolutely break away from the idea of "waiting for reliance", take the initiative to take responsibility, take proactive actions, innovate and develop, establish lofty and pragmatic development goals and strategies, practice hard, and steadfastly strive for self-improvement and self-development.
Thirdly, we must persist in doing difficult but correct things, constantly innovate and iterate on historical challenges, and build a high-quality and stable quality control system. We must polish our products, use research and development innovation to generate new development momentum, use the "difficulties" of research and development innovation to temper the core competitiveness of enterprises, have pricing power over products, and control market discourse power.
The fourth is to adhere to the dual wheel drive of change and innovation, adhere to the transformation of organizational mechanisms and efficiency, and stimulate enterprise vitality and endogenous power through change and innovation.
The fifth is to adhere to the unity of the leadership team. The top leader should be a good class monitor and focus on unity. The unity of the leadership team should be regarded as the lifeline of the company's development.
The sixth is to adhere to the principle that enterprise development relies on employees, and enterprise development serves employees. Taking "employee first, customer first, quality first, and adding glory to the country" as the soul of the enterprise, we must unify our thinking, unite our strength, and put "employee first" in the first place.
Seventh, we must adhere to market orientation, uphold the "four thousand spirit", strive to seize and expand the market, and use market orders to drive production and operation; Drive research and development innovation with real market demand, adhere to benchmarking and catching up, highlight "production transformation" and "market transformation", highlight the value of transformation and industrialization prospects, and strive for practical results through innovation and hard work; Both production and management must adhere to a market-oriented approach.
Li Gang stated that these "Seven Adherences" are valuable experiences we have accumulated during the 14th Five Year Plan period, and we must embark on a new journey of expanding our territory with these "Seven Adherences" in the 15th Five Year Plan period.
Standing at the historical intersection of the successful conclusion of the 14th Five Year Plan and the grand launch of the 15th Five Year Plan, Li Gang emphasized that the situation we are facing has undergone profound changes. Currently, we are in the painful period of transforming and upgrading from traditional economy to new quality productivity. 2026 is destined to be full of storms and challenges. At this period, we need high-quality development, growth, and achieve reasonable growth in "quantity", effective improvement in "quality", and dual improvement in "efficiency". If we want to go public through IPO, it is destined that we must make a big decision, practice our internal strength, and move forward under pressure.
Regarding how to implement the spirit of this workers' congress and ensure the successful completion of various task objectives, Li Gang emphasized:
The first is to adhere to the strong and powerful leadership of Party building. Each member of the Party committee and management team should play the role of a leading goose and locomotive as the engine of development. They should take the lead in achieving accurate analysis and judgment of the situation, business leadership, innovation leadership, technical quality leadership, and digital leadership transformation and improvement. They should independently lead, manage, and account for the situation within their respective areas of responsibility. Each party branch should effectively become a fighting fortress for party building to lead business and production, establish a "problem research institute" and a "work command center", manage party members well, and quantitatively evaluate the exemplary role of party members with indicators.
The second is to comprehensively strengthen the management of cadres. Whether the management of cadres is in place, whether responsibilities are consolidated, and whether rewards and punishments are fulfilled are the barometer of business development. Comprehensively strengthening the management of responsible and accountable performance of cadres at all levels, efforts should be made to promote the ideological liberation and transformation of leading cadres at all levels, evaluate indicators and tasks on a monthly basis, and be responsible for their own responsibilities and work results. This will become a clear guidance and be closely linked to responsible and accountable performance, evaluation of excellence, promotion and use, adjustment, and withdrawal from incompetence. To strengthen the responsibility of the top leader and the responsible leaders, branch secretaries, evaluation and supervision teams, responsible leaders, and company party committees should fulfill their respective cadre management responsibilities step by step. We need to strengthen the effective management of deputy positions by the top leader, as well as the management of grassroots team leaders and professional managers. Responsibilities should be traced back to their posts and individuals.
The third is to fully leverage the role of the large scheduling mechanism and financial control center. To fully leverage the role of the production and operation command center of the dispatch center, the main leaders of the dispatch center should act as good commanders, play a two-level role, horizontally to the edges, vertically to the bottom, align standards, and straighten management. To establish a financial control command center, it is necessary to verify and discover the consumption of various businesses on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, and coordinate with the warehouse, operation area departments, and large dispatch center to timely dispatch and improve the closed-loop system.
The fourth is to create value to the extreme, control costs to the extreme, and improve efficiency to the extreme. By practicing the "Four Thousand Spirit" to the extreme and striving for excellence, driving production and operation with market orders, optimizing variety structure, and significantly improving product gross profit. Taking lean management as the starting point, we aim to minimize consumption to the extreme. With the principle of "doing it right once", we will hold responsible persons, team leaders, and management personnel accountable for any problems that arise during a single investment, in order to minimize costs and enhance competitiveness. By conducting research at all levels, we aim to improve office and work efficiency, optimize digital systems, and lay a solid foundation for enhancing human efficiency through the improvement of office and work efficiency, flattening of organizational structure, and optimization of mechanisms.
The fifth is to vigorously enhance the effectiveness of innovation and improve the competitiveness of the company. To effectively strengthen the organizational power of project leaders, vigorously improve the progress and effectiveness of projects, and enhance the input-output ratio; Strengthen the functional roles of each research laboratory and enhance innovative leadership in the main direction of the laboratory; The Electric Heating Research Institute should strengthen its professional organizational leadership in innovation and creation, effectively enhance its "political guidance, ideological guidance, and party building guidance", and enhance its strategic support for the high-quality development of the company; To achieve significant breakthroughs in key major projects, to make the implementation of ultra pure electric heating alloys a reality, and to jointly apply for national major research projects; To study solid waste treatment technologies for source reduction and harmless resource utilization; To promote the certification of military confidentiality qualifications; Embracing AI is not a multiple-choice question, it is a survival question of the times, it is a collaborative battle between carbon based and silicon-based people, and we need to promote research on AI+electric heating new materials; To promote the research, development, and application of professional digital control systems for three-phase and purification.
The sixth is to integrate and connect the digital system. Leaders at all levels, especially the top leader, should personally promote the application of digital and automated systems, implement management and leadership of digital systems, and solve problems in the application of digital transformation centers. On this basis, various systems such as data acquisition, MES, ERP, CRM, HR, PLM, etc. need to be deeply integrated, and data analysis, partial automatic processing, warning, and push should be carried out to achieve automation and intelligence, truly realizing the concept of "governing by doing nothing".
Li Gang also put forward clear requirements for the first battle of the first quarter's "good start" and coordinated the work of safety and environmental protection, equipment maintenance, warmth delivery activities, and duty during the "two festivals" period.
Li Gang emphasized that from the first electric heating wire that brought glory to the country on the road to glory, to today's move towards the "15th Five Year Plan", after 70 years, we have walked from the "glory road" in Haidian to the "new light road" in Changping. The "steel flower electric heating" is brilliant worldwide. Every leap of Gitane is rooted in the adherence to the original intention, the persistence of innovation, and the answer to the times. We need to move from "seeing" to "foreseeing", from "seeing change without change" and "changing in the face of change" to "changing in the face of change". If we don't accept our fate, we will work hard, broaden our horizons and make plans, accumulate strength and thin hair. Let us use practical work, technology, innovation, and digitization to reconstruct Steel Flower Electric Heating. In 2026, let us define a new height of development for Gitane with the speed of running!
