Actively prevent legal risks with compliance management
Our group mainly establishes a legal risk control system based on prevention, so the group's legal work is mainly centered on risk prevention and control. Through the continuous improvement of the legal risk control system, in recent years, the group's legal risks and case incidence rates have decreased year by year, which is also an important performance of the group's consistent adherence to governing enterprises according to law, Tang Yan said in an interview.
The Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to comprehensively govern the country according to law, and the Nineteenth National Congress of the Party identified adhering to the comprehensive rule of law as one of the basic strategies for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, opening a new era of comprehensive rule of law. Hongdou Group has always integrated the management of enterprises according to law into the overall situation of enterprise operation and development, and created a strong atmosphere of rule of law to escort the high-quality development of enterprises. Zhou Haijiang, director of Hongdou Group, believes that compliance with laws and regulations is the basis for the stable development of enterprises and the basis for participating in market competition.
Indeed, Hongdou Group has always adhered to the rule of law and compliance management, as early as the 1980s, it set up a legal counsel office to guide enterprises to operate in accordance with the law, and in 2013, it was approved by the Department of Justice of Jiangsu Province to establish the company's legal affairs department, and has developed 35 legal personnel so far. With the changes in the domestic and foreign market environment and the needs of enterprise transformation and upgrading, Hongdou has elevated corporate compliance to a strategic height, and in 2019, the legal department was renamed the legal affairs and compliance department, and over the years it has achieved remarkable results in contract management, trademark, logo management, industrial and commercial registration, anti-counterfeiting rights protection, and publicity of laws and regulations.

Specifically, Tang Yan said that legal affairs management mainly starts from risk prevention and control and compliance management, including contract compliance management, litigation non-litigation compliance management, intellectual property compliance management, legal affairs line management, etc., and rectifies risks through risk tips in advance and legal opinions during the event, so as to avoid losses caused by risks, in fact, it is to actively prevent legal risks with compliance management.

This is part of the legal services of the Hongdou legal team including Tang Yan on the legal services of the Group's foreign-related projects in 2021, and she said that the Group has always attached importance to strengthening the risk prevention and control of foreign-related projects.
The law is the guarantee of the 'Belt and Road', and if enterprises want to go abroad, the law must go first." Zhou Haijiang said that as a private enterprise actively participating in the construction of the "Belt and Road", Hongdou Group has always firmly established the thinking of the rule of law and achieved win-win cooperation in the construction process of Cambodia's Westport Special Zone.
The fact is also that from the beginning of its establishment, Xigang Special Economic Zone Company has taken "governing enterprises according to law" as a key task, strictly abided by local laws and regulations, and put the rule of law thinking through the operation and management of the special zone to escort the realization of sustainable development. As the legal counsel of the group, under the leadership of Minister Deng Wanqiu of the department, Tang Yan actively participated in the process of "governing enterprises according to law" in the Westport Special Economic Zone, including hiring local lawyers as legal advisers to provide legal support all year round; actively guiding the compliance operation of enterprises entering the zone; and the Belt and Road Legal Service Center set up by United Manxiu Law Firm in Cambodia to provide one-stop services such as legal advice and company establishment for enterprises in the park. In 2020, she conscientiously served the preparation of the Westport Special Economic Zone Company for listing, reviewed the relevant contract texts, rules and regulations, etc., cooperated with the Cambodian Belt and Road Legal Service Center, and completed the annual report. In order to better understand and be familiar with Cambodian law and better serve the SAR and enterprises entering the zone, the Group Legal Office also translated a Chinese compilation of laws and regulations necessary for business management, including the Cambodian Labor Law, and publicized the enterprises entering the park.
With the rapid development of the Westport Special Zone, by 2021, the number of enterprises settled in the Westport Special Zone has reached 170, and related legal services will increase accordingly.

It can be said that as a safe and harmonious international park, the Xigang Special Economic Zone is also inseparable from the dedication of Tang Yan and the legal workers of the group.
Enhance professionalism and team strength with learning ability
"I like teamwork, team members communicate, learn, discuss, and improve together, at that time, the choice of Hongdou, the most important thing is because Hongdou has a special legal team and mature team management." When talking about why he gave up his job as a practicing lawyer in a law firm and chose to enter Hongdou, Tang Yan said with a smile.
The judicial examination is notoriously difficult, Tang Yan not only passed during graduate school, but also obtained the qualification of legal counsel and labor mediator after work, showing her super learning ability, which can be said to be a proper academic bully, which may also stem from her dream of becoming a legal worker who has been committed to justice since she was a child.
Another reason for choosing to work in Hongdou, Tang Yan also wants to comprehensively enhance her ability, hoping to understand the legal knowledge in the company field, understand the operation of the enterprise, not only to do litigation cases, but also to reduce risks and losses to a minimum through risk control compliance.
The legal team of Hongdou Group is indeed a team that loves learning, is full of vitality and combat effectiveness, and they actively carry out self-learning, line learning, external training and so on to continuously improve. Through hard work, some have participated in the judicial examination and obtained the legal professional qualification certificate, some have passed the corporate legal counsel qualification examination like Tang Yan, and some have obtained securities and fund qualifications. In terms of line learning, they will organize a line meeting once a month to prompt the risk points of enterprise operation and management found this month, and the companies will learn from each other and learn from each other; they will also take turns to release research topics for sharing and learning by dividing six topic release groups, including corporate governance group, intellectual property group, contract group, litigation group, etc.; the Headquarters Legal Office will also release a weekly "Red Bean Legal Affairs Express", which will issue new laws and policies related to enterprise operation and management issued by the state this week. The analysis of typical cases released by the judicial department, distributed to the legal personnel of each company for study, and the debriefing activities of the legal affairs leaders of each company at the end of each year are also the best ways for the new legal counsel and the legal leaders of the companies to learn from each other and exchange experiences. In terms of external training, courts, procuratorates, law firms, lawyers associations and other organizations of various types of training, the headquarters of the legal office will be training information in the legal affairs line to share, there is a need for legal personnel can sign up to participate, after participating in the training, will be in the legal line meeting will be shared training content and so on.
Under the leadership of Deng Wanqiu, Tang Yan also organizes a moot court once a year, using real cases to conduct confrontations such as prosecution and defense of the original defendants in the moot court, and the old legal counsel guides the new legal counsel on the trial process and skills, and trains and improves their litigation practice ability, which has been successfully held for eight sessions so far.
Legal affairs is a highly professional work, the provisions of the law are updated from time to time, new laws will come out every year, and the development of red beans is also changing with each passing day, which requires legal workers to keep pace with the times, and test their dedication and responsibility. Tang Yan said that he would definitely go all out, and the simple four words reflected the mission and responsibility of a Communist Party member working in the legal line.
