With “user thinking” as the core and underlying logic, the company gradually moves from marketing to the iterative upgrading driven by marketing, R & D, capital and digitization, and continues to promote the rapid implementation of the new strategic track, Yunnan Baiyao Group Co.Ltd(000538) driven by the new growth engine. In 2022, I will continue to practice the purpose of “four awes”, diligently fulfill the obligations of independent directors, give full play to the supervisory role of independent directors, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of all shareholders, especially minority shareholders, and further improve corporate governance. At the same time, I will make full use of my professional knowledge and experience to provide more constructive suggestions for Yunnan Baiyao Group Co.Ltd(000538) development and provide reference for the scientific decision-making of the board of directors. I also sincerely hope that Yunnan Baiyao Group Co.Ltd(000538) under the leadership of the board of directors, the company will operate in a down-to-earth and steady manner, and work with stakeholders to move forward towards a more ambitious goal and vision.
