Yan speaks at the conference

Yan spoke highly of YL's business performance and effortful collaboration with all distributors in recent years, acclaiming YL as one of Yuchai's best sectors and subsidiaries with the best performance in 2011. YL should make efforts in two aspects in order to accomplish sustained, healthy and rapid development in the future. In the first place, YL should map out a strategy, take a road of internationalization, and introduce advanced international management concepts and foreign strategic partners; in the second place, YL should create a loyal and win-win upstream and downstream industry chain, establish fair and equal market order, standardize the price system and eliminate selfish behavior by formulating scientific business policies to create a reasonable and healthy market competition environment. Yan stressed Yuchai will spare no efforts to mobilize strength to support YL's development. All entities closely related to YM and YMMD should support YL by actual deeds, and all suppliers of the sales system should, under the leadership of YL's business body, establish confidence and cooperate with sincerity to jointly accomplish the business objective in 2012, achieve greater success and contribute to the implementation of the "twelfth five-year" strategic plan of Yuchai.
