CHANGSHA, China, June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The year 2022 marks the 10^th anniversary of SANY’s acquisition of Putzmeister. Back in 2012, SANY Germany and CITIC PE acquired 100% of the equity shares in Putzmeister for 360 million euros. As a young and ambitious enterprise, this was a milestone move for SANY as well as a game-changing event in the landscape of the global construction machinery industry.

Over the past decade, Putzmeister, already a top concrete machinery manufacturer in Europe, has achieved steady growth and development under SANY Group. Putzmeister’s sales volume grew from €500 million in 2011 to more than €800 million in 2021, maintaining its leading position in the global concrete machinery market.

With its R&D, manufacturing and sales network expanding to cover Europe, America, and Asia-Pacific regions, the former German family company now enjoys a broader global presence in 154 countries and regions.

Over the past decade, Putzmeister has been integrated into SANY’s global business map. Today, nearly half of the concrete machinery products around the world bear the logo of Putzmeister or SANY.

For SANY, Putzmeister provides applicable experience in internationalization, intelligent manufacturing, and concepts and practices compatible with the fourth industrial revolution. For Putzmeister, its capability of developing new businesses is reinforced by SANY’s financial support and resources.

The R&D cooperation between the two companies has been evidently fruitful. The joint R&D teams have successfully launched the V8 series and the 45m truck-mounted concrete pump for the European market and are now taking the lead in the new arena of electric, intelligent, and digital products. Putzmeister has released the world’s first hybrid truck-mounted concrete pump – “iONTRON” and has applied big data technology in the concrete production, transportation, and placement process to improve productivity, operations, and fuel efficiency.

Both companies serve to open up markets for one another. More Putzmeister products gained access to the Chinese market through SANY, such as Putzmeister’s shotcreting machines, mortar machines, industrial pumps, and telebelt. Similarly, many of SANY’s products have become globally visible through Putzmeister’s network. “Compared to the sales growth,” said Dr. Jiang Xiangyang, Chairman’s Representative on behalf of SANY and Board member at Putzmeister Holding GmbH, “the significance of the acquisition lies in that it gave SANY a closer view of a leading company in the west, the market in developed countries, and their way of company governance.”

To date, the partnership between SANY and Putzmeister has yielded exponentially positive results in the areas of training, employee exchanges, R&D, and business development. Hand in hand, their partnership has yielded far better results than either company alone. One plus one has created far greater results than two.

DUBAI, UAE, June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Hikvision will be hosting its Ecosystem Alliance Event 2022 on June 22-23, bringing together industry leaders from public sectors, leading technology partners, and system integrators. The theme this year is “Re-Connect & Co-Create,” and the event aims to identify new technology opportunities and encourage collaborative technology development.

The first Hikvision Ecosystem Alliance Event (EAE) event was held in 2019. The event was a success, and Hikvision welcomed over 300 CXO-level decision makers. At that time, many advancements and developments in science and technology were emerging one after another, and initiated the need for such an event. Hikvision took advantage of the moment to encourage industry integration by creating a platform that enabled more technology partners to collaborate and innovate, to explore the future of the world, and to discover business opportunities. This year, the time has come for Hikvision to host the Alliance Event once again.

“Hikvision has been active in the MENA region for 12 years, cultivating a variety of partnerships with end-users, distributors, installers, and system integrators,” said Binson Xu, President of Hikvision MENA. “The Ecosystem Alliance Event is a great opportunity for us to bring together many technology partners and renew our connections with long-term partners and clients, in order to explore new technology opportunities.

BEIJING, June 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — June 19 marks Father’s Day in 2022 and many are retracing their memories with their fathers and the influence their old men have had on them.

The same goes for Chinese President Xi Jinping, who inherited people-oriented philosophy from his father Xi Zhongxun. Xi Zhongxun was among the first generation of central leaders of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Xi Zhongxun believed officials and the masses are equal and so the officials must always live among the people. A leader risen from the people, the father once told his son: “No matter what your job title is, serve the people diligently, consider the interests of the people with all your heart, maintain close ties with the people, and always stay approachable to the people.”

Xi Jinping took that advice to heart. In his early years as Party Secretary of CPC Zhengding County Committee in north China’s Hebei Province, Xi Jinping visited every village in the county. Later, in Zhejiang Province, he visited 90-plus counties and cities throughout the province in just over a year.

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012 when he was elected as general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping checked in with impoverished residents during his domestic inspection tours, asking about their living conditions.

The Party has won the people’s wholehearted support because it has always served the people with heart and soul and striven for the well-being of all ethnic groups, Xi Jinping has said on many occasions.

‘Stay loyal to the Party’

“There are many noble characters I wish to inherit from my father,” Xi Jinping, then-governor of southeast China’s Fujian Province, said in a letter of felicitation to his father’s 88th birthday in 2001. The son was unable to attend due to work commitments.

Xi Zhongxun had always taught his children to stay loyal to the Party. “[My father would] tell us how he joined the revolution, and told us to join revolution and how that works… and these have gradually influenced me,” Xi Jinping recalled.

Xi Jinping decided he would carry on the revolutionary torch from a young age, and he joined the CPC when he was 20.

After the first plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee in late 2017 when Xi was elected for a second term as general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, the CPC leadership visited a replica boat in east China where the Party’s dream set sail.

“The original aspiration of the CPC members must never change,” Xi told CPC cadres.

Living a simple life

The Xis have a tradition of being strict with children and living a simple life.

Xi Zhongxun regularly told his children to be frugal. As his daughter Xi Qiaoqiao recalled, Xi Zhongxun would pick up and eat errant rice grains and bun crumbs off the table while eating and, finally, mop up the soup bowl with a bun. Also, Xi Jinping and his younger brother used to wear clothes and shoes handed down from their elder sisters.

Xi Jinping wrote in the 2001 letter, retracing that his father had led “an extremely frugal life.” He added that he had developed habits of industry and thrift since childhood under his father’s influence.
