Also, be determined that we will overcome the epidemic and fully restore normal production and living order; Second, actively adapt, reduce costs and increase efficiency. The entire Group must firmly establish the consciousness of "belt-tightening", further reduce costs and expenditures, improve quality and efficiency, and strictly control labour cost; Third, come to a clear assessment of the situation and defend the bottom line. Conduct thorough study on potential difficulties, risks and uncertainties. Prevent and respond to the impact and influence induced by changes in the external environment, meanwhile, alleviate internal pressure and strive to achieve the goal of high-quality growth.
