Representatives of some employees of China Zhongji Investment went to a poverty-stricken village in Yangyuan County to carry out poverty alleviation activities.
At the beginning of this year, China Zhongji Investment established an internal Zhongji Poverty Alleviation Group, headed by the president, to carry out poverty alleviation work. Under the guidance of the Hebei Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce and with the strong support of private enterprises such as Rongsheng Development, Qianxihe, Yangyuan Zhihui, and Junlebao, China Zhongji Investment initiated the establishment of the Hebei Zhongji Poverty Alleviation Fund, using a professional operation method to serve Hebei's poverty alleviation cause more efficiently and sustainably. The company is also actively carrying out various poverty alleviation activities. On August 28, representatives of Zhongji employees, carrying scholarships, learning materials, and daily necessities, drove nearly 5 hours to Dong Baimaying Village, Yangyuan County, Zhangjiakou City, to carry out "Love Poverty Alleviation and Assistance to Students" activities and visit the villagers.
Responding to the call, serving Hebei, embarking on a new journey
With the entry of Chinese Socialism with Chinese Characteristics into a new era, Hebei has reached a new historical starting point. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has outlined a grand blueprint for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the fifth and sixth plenary sessions of the ninth Hebei Provincial Committee have ushered in a new journey of comprehensively constructing a strong economic province and a beautiful Hebei. Today's Hebei Province is facing unprecedented development opportunities. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy brings historical opportunities for Hebei's development; the Xiong'an New Area, together with the Zhangbei region whose construction is being promoted with the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics as an opportunity, will form Hebei's new "two wings." These factors have injected strong development momentum into Hebei.
The government work report proposes that the next step should be to "accelerate the construction of an innovative Hebei," "focus on promoting industrial transformation and upgrading," and "promote the formation of a new pattern of comprehensive opening up," resolutely fighting the three major battles of "preventing and resolving major risks," "precise poverty alleviation," and "pollution prevention and control."
China Zhongji Investment, as Hebei Province's largest private investment platform, will actively respond to the call of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, focusing on Hebei Province's key tasks, proactively planning and taking active actions. It will give full play to its professional advantages to contribute ideas and efforts to the construction of key projects; give full play to its platform advantages to actively introduce leading domestic and international projects and key projects in the industrial chain; give full play to its capital advantages to promote the transformation of Hebei manufacturing to Hebei creation, Hebei speed to Hebei quality, and Hebei products to Hebei brands; actively assume social responsibilities, using the Hebei Zhongji Poverty Alleviation Fund as a platform to carry out various poverty alleviation programs. It will provide assistance in accelerating the strategic adjustment of Hebei Province's economic structure and achieving various task goals, and contribute to the comprehensive construction of a strong economic province and a beautiful Hebei.
In the next step, China Zhongji Investment will continue to uphold the concept of "openness, inclusiveness, win-win sharing, and steady progress," improve business operations, attach great importance to risk control, conduct in-depth research on national policies, strengthen industry research, closely monitor the economic situation and industry changes, strictly assess project risks, and conduct project investment in a steady and prudent manner.
Facing the future, China Zhongji Investment is full of confidence.
Currently, faced with the complex and changing domestic and international economic environment, those who can accurately understand the general logic of China's economic development will stand out, while some investment institutions that do not have a clear understanding of the situation, lack characteristics, are weak, and unprofessional will inevitably withdraw from the historical stage. Originating in the hinterland of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, China Zhongji Investment will be based in Hebei, focusing on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, continuing to cultivate, and continue to rely on a strong professional team, giving full play to its unique regional resource advantages, continuously pioneering and forging ahead, embracing the new era, embarking on a new journey, creating new achievements, and building the company into a leading large investment group in China and an internationally renowned brand, returning to shareholders, society, and the people of Hebei!
