Leju Finance Deng RufeiOn February 6, Li Lianzhu, chairman of Shangpin Home Delivery Group, delivered a New Year message. The original text is as follows:
At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, looking back on the alternation of the old and the new, 2023 is a year of ups and downs and full of challenges. When the three-year epidemic finally came to an end, everyone thought that spring was blooming, but they didn't expect that the pressure brought by the general environment had just begun. We have experienced the continuous decline of the real estate industry, the extreme involution of the home furnishing industry, and the extremely fierce market competition. However, we broke through.
Today, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, let's take a look back on the unforgettable year of 2023 and look back on ourselves who have worked hard in the past year.
Performance growth - development is the last word
In 2023, through product innovation and upgrading, the whole group will launch the industry's latest "23 major products" based on lifestyle and the "23 system cabinet" with a more complete process structure, so as to comprehensively enhance product strength; Through the 699 100-day sprint, the clarion call for the annual performance charge was sounded; By supervising the explosion of orders, sinking the market, in-depth real estate sales, getting close to franchisees, improving the level of market operation, and vigorously increasing the retail of franchisees.
All partners worked together to finally harvest the inflection point of performance growth after three years of epidemic in this cold winter of the market, and achieved year-on-year growth; On this occasion, let's give everyone a round of applause, and on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to each and every employee!
Improve the quality of operation - performance and profit with both hands, both hands should be hard
During the economic downturn, revenue is important, but profit and profitability are even more important.
In 2023, on the production cost side, the Group continued to adjust its production cost control strategy, reduce procurement costs, improve material utilization, and greatly improve production efficiency, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of large-scale manufacturing. On the self-operated side, we actively adjusted the business structure, strengthened the market franchise and real estate packaging sector, reduced various sales and management expenses, improved human efficiency, and greatly enhanced the profitability of the group's respective operating companies. In the middle and back office management, we introduce multiple automated system tools such as HR, finance, and AI technology to integrate management, strengthen cost and expense control, and improve operational efficiency.
In 2024, we must grasp revenue with one hand, profit with one hand, grasp with both hands, and be hard with both hands!
Innovative technology - only continuous innovation can have an infinite future
We always believe that the future must belong to those who master technology and continue to innovate. Innovation has always been engraved in our bones, we can grow from a nameless software company, to a leading enterprise in custom home furnishings, inseparable from the diligently pursued technological innovation. From the process and production line innovation of manufacturing plants, to the rapid implementation of small innovations such as fast patch lines and general express lines, to the increasingly mature open application of forward-looking AI technologies, the industry's first AI design factory we will build in 2023 will be born.
This year, we won the highest honor of "Digital Pilot Enterprise" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, and only 28 companies in the country have won this honor, and it is the only one in the home furnishing industry.
If more than ten years ago, we took the lead in realizing the industry's first Industry 40 manufacturing factory, created a new category of whole house furniture customization, so today we build this AI design factory, I believe it will once again change the business model of the home furnishing industry. This will be another opportunity for us, and we will definitely seize it, so that we can create another brilliant future together with our franchisee partners.
Organizational change - look inward to find the core strength
The core of enterprise development is talent, and the endogenous driving force of enterprise development is organization. In this year, we should feel that our corporate culture has changed, and we advocate "customer-oriented, result-oriented, enterprising, and professional growth"; Our employment concept has changed, the team has placed more emphasis on youth, specialization and professionalism, and our organizational structure has changed, removing the middle layer and emphasizing the sinking of the middle and back office organizations. Vigorously encourage aspiring young people to go to the front line and make contributions in winning battles on the front line.
We are very pleased to see that a group of people have made meritorious contributions and won the battle in this battle. Organizational change is a key initiative for us to achieve good results this year, and it is a good start. In 2024, we will further deepen the organizational reform, and I believe that the group will usher in a phoenix nirvana and take off against the trend!
Looking forward to 2024 is still full of uncertainties and challenges, but the pessimists are right, the optimists move forward, and when the time is good, they will march forward, and in times of adversity, they will go through the cycle.
30 years ago, a group of our people began to work hard, Wushan Science and Technology Street is still dreaming back, staying up late to work at night always have a few drinks, the entrance of the throat, a fire in the chest, even if the process is full of thorns, bitterness, pressure, unwillingness, but the fire back then, is still burning.
The Year of the Dragon is coming, let's fly the dragon and dance together!
I wish all customers, all employees and investors a happy and healthy New Year!
Colleagues who also invite us to go home to visit our families.
Say hello to your parents and family on my behalf.
I wish them a happy Chinese New Year and a happy family!
