"Circle Attitude" New Year Cheers! A letter from auto parts circle to colleagues in the automotive aftermarket

Dear aftermarket colleagues,

Happy New Year, Xiaobian is here to wish you a happy New Year and a victorious banner!

At this moment, the new spring atmosphere is still strong, the Winter Olympic games are exciting, the Chinese women's football team has not exhausted the joy of winning the Asian Cup, and the land of China is passionate and lively. In such a warm atmosphere, I believe that our post-steam colleagues have arrived at their posts and started the struggle of the new year.

I wonder if everyone's state after the year is affected by the hottest sportsmanship at the moment? The spirit of women's football never gives up and defeats, the courage of women's free ski champion Gu Ailing to challenge himself, the momentum of short track speed skating champion Ren Ziwei desperately rushing forward... It has given countless people an invigorated soul of infection and encouragement. The motto of the Olympic Games is: faster, higher, stronger, more united, although our auto aftermarket is a commercial field, but we can also paraphrase this maxim, our struggle height can also be described as "faster, higher, stronger, more united", so I pray that every auto post-steam colleague can be infected with the fighting spirit of athletes, so as to cheer themselves up and cheer.

There is a saying that "pessimists are often correct, optimists are often successful", in the past two years, we have seen and heard a lot of pessimistic arguments in the aftermarket, such as: "The aftermarket is a quagmire", "The aftermarket has broad prospects but is difficult to standardize", "Capital continues to retreat", "Tmall, Tuhoo, Jingdong sink", "Under the epidemic, the peak season is not prosperous, the off-season is even weaker", "So-and-so car listing is booed"... It is true that the facts reflected by these voices are true, but the more you see and listen, the more you can't help but be demoralized, and even the feeling of "life is loveless". In all the hopeful springs, shouldn't we, like everything in nature, maintain a thriving posture and believe in the phrase "optimists often succeed"?

In fact, in the aftermarket, some people always move forward with positive beliefs, like in the past Spring Festival holiday, many parts factories, repair shops, car platforms played the slogan of "Spring Festival does not close", and the employees who stayed on the post were tirelessly busy at their posts, and even Chinese New Year's Eve meals were eaten in the workshop. Non-stop labor may be mixed with many reasons and emotions, but there must be one spirit of "not giving up, not discouraged, hoping to last forever", and we should give respect and praise to these people.

These people who are constantly struggling are as the famous saying goes: The night gives me black eyes, but I use it to find the light. Of course, our market is not completely "dark", we have many shining points, such as in the case of the global economic recession, the mainland GDP still maintains growth; automobile production and sales, ownership continues to rise; the rise of automobile national brands, independent brands to explore, "automobile power" is moving towards "automobile power"; new energy vehicles from the policy-driven comprehensively into the market-driven stage; the implementation of RCEP policies favorable to the import and export of auto parts; effective control of the epidemic; the digitalization of the automotive aftermarket is accelerating and upgrading... From macroeconomics to industry policies, we have strongly supported our confidence.

In the economic system, it is often said that the stock market is the barometer of the national economy. This week's Spring Festival holiday ended, all walks of life began to work, and the stock market also opened up the good results of Sanlianyang, which undoubtedly pointed out the upward direction for the New Year, believing in the strength of the country and going with the trend.

As we all know, the Central Economic Work Conference at the end of 2021 proposed that the economic work in 2022 should be "steady and steady", and the employees of the auto aftermarket will more deeply understand the meaning of "stability" in 2021. In the face of the global economic situation shock, repeated epidemic situation, industry transformation and upgrading, internal volume and other objective factors, we must be calm and calm, not confused or radical, carefully analyze and formulate strategies suitable for their own development, and seeking progress in stability is the only way to win.

We have cut through thorns in the past year, and now standing on a new hill and looking ahead, we should praise our own still steady steps and hold on to the good and steady start.

In 2021, the auto parts circle also overcame many difficulties caused by the epidemic and carried out a number of offline and online industry exchange activities with major auto post-automobile enterprises and companies, which effectively promoted the development of the industry. In 2022, the auto parts circle will uphold the attitude of "seeking progress in stability", continue to give play to the linkage role and professional advantages of the media, widely link the forces of all parties in the auto aftermarket, boost the future development of the industry and enterprises to a new height, and boost China's auto aftermarket industry to climb to a new peak.

Today, in addition to sending New Year's greetings to my dear post-steam colleagues, I also share my encouragement with you. On the occasion of the arrival of the new year, let us work together to strive for our own goals and the rapid development of the automotive aftermarket industry, and make unremitting efforts together in the direction of "faster, higher, stronger and more united"!

Auto parts ring salute
