First, improve enterprise’s core competitiveness

Building a global Guangbo and improving core competitiveness directly determine the long-term and steady development and progress of enterprises. In terms of talents, we will continue to introduce high-level, sophisticated and professional talents at home and abroad, cultivate a group of young management cadres with passion and innovation, and form a staff team with reasonable structure and ability to do things.In terms of digitalization, with the help of information and application scenarios provided by big data, let employees become the community of enterprise value creation. As a global group enterprise, through the effective guidance of corporate culture, we can empower employees at home and abroad and upstream and downstream enterprises to jointly build a virtuous development ecosystem.

Second, strengthen global brand building

Economic globalization is the trend of historical development. Brand is the comprehensive embodiment of the international competitiveness of enterprises. Brand globalization has become an important part of global competition. We should take the initiative, continue to go global, market-oriented, focus on brand cultivation and construction, innovate products and sales channels, continue to solve consumer pain points, fully promote the global development strategy of Guangbo brand, and strive to build Guangbo into a global resource allocation platform.
