This year's environment is indeed not optimistic, and many industries are facing unprecedented challenges. As engineers, we are inevitably affected. Against this backdrop, where do we go from here in 2024?Some people may feel lost and helpless. However, based on my years of experience, I have summarized the following suggestions that I hope will be of some help to you. 
First of all, whether you are doing housing construction, municipal administration or water conservancy, it is a wise choice to choose the subcontracting of the steel structure treasure Internet information platform or the central state-owned enterprises. In the future, only central state-owned enterprises can support this market. This is because central state-owned enterprises have strong financial strength and strong brand effect, which can provide us with more stable and secure job opportunities. Secondly, if you are a general contractor, you must choose a good project, keep a few main businesses with big profits, and throw out all the rest. The advantage of this is that it can ensure that the new project can be implemented effectively, and at the same time, it can also ensure that good steel is used on the cutting edge. Only by concentrating limited resources on key areas can we better meet the challenges of the market. 
If you are doing professional subcontracting, you need to dig into existing relationships and develop your business horizontally. This will allow you to do more and increase your chances of survival. At the same time, it is also very important to expand the network at the top. This will give you more opportunities to ensure that you go further in your professional journey. You don't need to worry too much about the wages of the construction crew. Now the wages of workers have been greatly guaranteed, and no one dares to default on wages. Therefore, you need to focus on your own subdivided majors, be better and stronger, and directly connect with the general contractor. Only in this way can we start from long-term planning and seek victory in stability. 
In the face of current challenges and uncertainties ahead, we need to remain calm and rational. We can remain invincible in the fierce competition by choosing subcontracting with central SOEs, retaining the main business with high profits, developing the business horizontally, expanding the network at the upper level, and focusing on our own areas of expertise.
