Shenglong Co., Ltd. held its first-half 2025 work conference.

On the afternoon of July 18, Shenglong Co., Ltd. convened its first-half 2025 economic analysis meeting and a work‑arrangement conference for the second half of the year. The meeting comprehensively reviewed the company’s production and operational performance in the first half and systematically outlined a strategic plan for tackling key challenges in the second half. Lu Youxia, Party Secretary and Chairman of Shenglong Co., Ltd., attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Members of the company’s leadership team, mid‑level managers from all departments, all employees of the Research Institute, and principal leaders of grassroots units also attended. The meeting was chaired by Zhang Baomin, Deputy Party Secretary of Shenglong Co., Ltd.

At the meeting, Wang Erjun, a member of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, read out the “Shenglong Shares” “Progress on the First-Half 2025 Responsibility Targets and the Third-Quarter Responsibility Target Plans of Each Company.” This document serves as a weighty report card, reflecting the hard‑won achievements of each company during the first half of the year, while also outlining a bold roadmap for pressing ahead with momentum, thereby charting a clear course forward for all attendees.

Subsequently, the heads of each company and research institute delivered their respective work reports, providing a detailed analysis of the progress made in achieving first-half targets and outlining plans for the second half of the year. The presentation of achievements was grounded in concrete results, while the problem‑analysis was thorough and incisive; moreover, with a forward‑looking perspective, they clearly defined the priorities and objectives for the second half, laying a solid foundation for attaining the year’s goals and ensuring steady progress toward excellence.

Having concluded the report, Yan Jun, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Shenglong Co., Ltd., conducted an in-depth analysis of the company’s operations in the first half of the year and laid out plans for the second half. He stated that the achievements are the fruitful results nurtured by the hard work of every Shenglong employee, while the areas needing improvement represent the key challenges to be tackled in the next phase. All employees across the company should take these accomplishments as a starting point and address existing shortcomings as leverage, pressing forward all the more resolutely in the face of adversity. First, we must let Party building lead the way, attract and cultivate talent, and enhance quality, fully leveraging… The dual-brand leadership of “Party Building + Human Resources” places exemplary models at the forefront of the workforce and embeds core personnel deep within the heart of operations. Second, collaborative research and innovation should drive cost reduction and efficiency gains; we must adopt a dual‑pronged approach, advancing both simultaneously, to achieve meaningful breakthroughs in R&D and push cost‑reduction and productivity improvements to greater depths—leveraging research outcomes to power these efforts and sustainably reinvigorate growth momentum. Third, forward‑looking planning must go hand in hand with consolidating fundamentals and strengthening our foundations. Guided by the overarching principles of “raising standards, enhancing capabilities, and mitigating risks,” we must sharpen our foresight, plan ahead, and maintain robust organizational capacity; conduct integrated assessments, prioritize execution, and ensure adequate supply of critical capabilities; and address root causes with targeted measures, paying close attention to details to thoroughly eliminate all potential hazards.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Party Secretary and Chairwoman Lu Youxia delivered a closing address. She emphasized that there is no rehearsal—and no mid‑game break—in corporate development; the encouraging results of the first half of the year are merely the opening act for pressing ahead. To seize the momentum and forge ahead, it is imperative to enhance… “Six Forms of Consciousness.” First, we must strengthen our conscious awareness of institutional frameworks, rigorously ensure implementation, and strictly enforce internal controls, firmly bridging the gap between systems and execution so that “everyone understands internal controls, and every task adheres to established procedures” becomes a shared, self‑driven practice across the organization. Second, we must cultivate a heightened sense of strategic planning—grounded in reality yet committed to achieving set objectives, proactively identifying opportunities, and seizing them with foresight. Growth is always future‑oriented: safeguarding baseline metrics while striving for room to improve, standing firm on this year’s milestones while keeping our sights set on next year’s peaks. Third, we must enhance our sense of responsibility, shedding impatience and superficiality, embracing pragmatism, rejecting perfunctory attitudes, and upholding a rigorous work ethic. We should transform our professional conduct into one characterized by “proactive drive, solid capability, and a strong sense of accountability,” embedding the principle that “well‑planned arrangements are matched by a commitment to execution, and systematic guidelines are backed by decisive enforcement” into the very fabric of our management practices. Fourth, we must deepen our dedication to… Fifth, cultivate a strong sense of self‑discipline and awareness, avoid shying away from challenges, see problems clearly, and examine them thoroughly, maintaining a clear and level‑headed mind as you forge new paths amid adversity. Sixth, enhance your awareness of frugality and the importance of living within one’s means; only by tightening our belts can we achieve sustained progress, and only by making sound financial plans can we accomplish great things. Upholding the fundamental principle of hard work and perseverance without wavering is essential to ensuring the enduring vitality and stability of our endeavors. Seventh, strengthen your sense of unity and solidarity: “When many row together, the big ship sails far.” With unity as the vessel and cooperation as the oars, we can ride the waves of our times and make headway.

The heat waves surge, and passion flows like a tide—just as we set sail to forge ahead. This conference not only showcases the sharp edge of our achievements in surpassing the first half of the year’s targets but also ignites an unstoppable momentum for the second half of the battle. We have witnessed how hard-won it is to “sail past countless mountains,” while also recognizing that the road ahead remains long and arduous, with one mountain after another standing in our way. With spring plowing and summer cultivation, we are building up strength to unleash a powerful burst of energy, accelerating our sprint as we go. Shenglong Shares will surely continue to leave its mark through concrete actions. The ideological hallmark of “ensuring implementation, broadening horizons, pursuing enterprise, and driving development” serves as a guiding beacon, set against the strategic vantage point of “building a first‑class domestic mining group,” thereby ensuring that the second half of the year will indeed be a time to scale new heights.
