Company leaders, middle-level cadres, digital transformation professionals, scientific and technological innovation professionals, market development professionals, a total of more than 60 people attended the meeting. At the meeting, Li Gang, party secretary and chairman of the board of directors of Gitane, on behalf of the company, issued letters of appointment to four national top technical experts in science and technology innovation and intelligent manufacturing in turn, and Prof. Guo Hanjie, the representative of the experts, made a statement.

01、Clarify the theme of the conference and determine the direction of development

On behalf of all cadres and workers to the new four experts to join the company's science and innovation team expressed a warm welcome, and on the company to further strengthen the innovation initiatives and the five important basic work arrangements in 2025, “to the new to seek quality to the new to figure strong to achieve the Gitane counter-cyclical high-quality development” as the title of the deployment of the mobilization.

Li Gang said, looking back on the just passed 2024, the company has experienced many difficulties, the risk of wading through the shoals, the difficulty of climbing the slopes, the difficulty of breaking through the barrier, but Gitane in the road of high-quality development, through the wind and rain baptism, laying the foundation of the “stable”, and accumulating the “progress” power. The power of “progress” has been accumulated. Looking forward to 2025, in the face of the current severe market situation, we must deeply understand the current era, the global economy is in a downward cycle, consumption inhibition, investment downturn is the new reality we have to face. At the same time, the wave of new technology is coming, DeepSeek caused a big heat wave during the Spring Festival, so that we personally experienced the impact of artificial intelligence technology. In the context of the big time, we must adhere to the actual starting point from Jitai'an, go our own way, go the right way, go the way of innovative growth, innovation breakout, to the new quality, to the new strength, to realize the counter-cyclical high-quality development.

The key to the development of Gitane in people, the key in the leading cadres, today's new era, to realize the leadership transition from top to bottom, especially leaders at all levels to enhance innovative thinking, digital thinking, technical literacy, quality skills, learning ability, with digital leadership, technology leadership for their respective management empowerment, empowerment for innovation. It is necessary to strengthen the ideological refinement, political experience and practical training of leading cadres, and enhance and test the ability to “grasp the direction and the overall situation”, the ability to grasp the quality and the deep reform and the innovation, the ability to grasp the automation and digital transformation, and the ability to grasp the operation and the management and the risk prevention and control in the specific work. Good grasp of the implementation of market-centric, customer-centric, practice immediately, things do not stay overnight, on-site scheduling, personal organization, to grasp the process to be effective, and to prevent “self-centered, passive coping, verbal implementation, the text to the text to go”.

（2）Full embrace of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a revolution, is a war, is the development of the general trend, those who go along with it will prosper, and those who go against it will die! In the face of the fourth industrial revolution, if enterprises do not quickly embrace AI, they will fall behind, or may be eliminated. Therefore, we must vigorously promote the automation of digital transformation, full embrace of artificial intelligence, to use digitalization and intelligence to harness industrialization, re-engineering business processes, leading the new quality of electric heat productivity.
1）The top management takes the lead to promote from the top. The company's party and government leaders take the lead and lead from above, first improve digital literacy and digital leadership, the party and government leaders directly lead the promotion of digital transformation, artificial intelligence in the system layout, AI popularization and application, top-down, level by level down the party and government leaders - team members - middle-level cadres - grassroots employees.
