Zeng Guang: Thank you very much for the introduction of Secretary-General Yan. We are brothers. The first thing I want to say is that all brothers can gather in Shanghai International Automobile City, which shows the strength of Shanghai International Automobile City. The two major conferences of China's automobile industry, one is the automotive forum that gathers all management circles, and the other is the annual meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineering in the technical field. Both can attract a place, showing that our Shanghai International Automobile City is a very attractive area. .

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we are gathering in International Automobile City. This is the third time that this event has been held together with Shanghai International Automobile City. It has witnessed the rapid development of Shanghai International Automobile City, especially after 2014 and 2015. Shanghai International Automobile City is developing rapidly. Here, on behalf of the China Automobile Manufacturers Association, the organizing committee would like to thank you all for coming. After more than 20 years of development, the automobile industry has become a pillar industry for China’s economic development. In 2019, China’s domestic and external environment has undergone very profound changes. As the pillar of the national economy, the automobile industry has also faced unprecedented tests. Its production and sales have been in more than 20 years. After the growth of, there was a negative growth in 2018 for the first time, and this trend is also normal. Under the international environment, there will be a relatively stable period. This stage is also what we have been talking about from the growth of the environment to the stock market.

There are two points under this characteristic. One is transformation and upgrading, the other is to promote high-quality development and deepen industrial reform. This has become a core issue that the entire industry needs to face from management departments, enterprises and industries, and it is also the theme of this conference. , Is innovation, openness and green. Under this big judgment, China is a critical period for high-speed development to high-quality development. Just now, Secretary-General Yan also said that the next 5-10 years will be a very important period for transformation, which is both for Chinese and international companies. Facing very big changes and challenges, the direction of electrification, intelligence, and networked products has become a very important period of opportunity for my country's automobile industry to grow stronger.

We have been saying that after many things have progressed to a certain level, when you face many challenges, you will encounter many opportunities. In fact, it is also the core theme of our forum: exploration, opportunities and challenges, which are also the current industry The layout is also the focus of this forum, so we must focus on the changes and opportunities in the automotive industry. As mentioned by Mr. Wan Gang, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he also hopes that the China Automotive Forum will become an important platform for every auto company and related units to jointly explore changes, analyze opportunities, seek countermeasures and solutions, and connect the auto industry and related industries. Everyone has a very important experience in participating in this forum. From 2011 to the present, there have been 8 sessions of the China Automotive Forum. In addition, this is already the 9th session. We have been analyzing its changes. Why does the China Automotive Forum now have? The strong attraction is actually determined by a special period. In the eight years from 2011 to the present, the changes in China's policies have been very large. The two sessions connected their spirits. Another feature of the China Automotive Forum is that it is the largest forum held by the China Automotive Organization after China became the world's largest producer and marketer in 2009, and it has naturally become the most important event in the international management community. Starting in 2018, the CCTV Finance Channel of China Central Radio and Television will fully intervene, which not only expands the impact of the China Automotive Forum on the automotive industry, but also greatly enhances the impact of the automotive society. This is a very important point. This year is not just about the government. At the same time, Chairman Wan, China Association for Science and Technology, etc. have also done a lot of important support. There will also be some important leaders attending the conference, such as the China Automotive Leaders Summit yesterday afternoon, which formed a series of events that have a great impact on the entire China and even the global automotive industry.

Finally, we are also very pleased to see that after years of development, the International Automobile City in Jiading District, Shanghai has become an important base for automobile development in China and the world, full of vigor and vitality for the development of electrification, intelligence, and connectivity. We also believe that Jiading District and Auto City have a brighter future. We hope that everyone will gain something at the China Automotive Forum this time and spend the past few days happily. Thank you.
