In the second system, we observed that the industry's low-intensity The growth on the infrastructure is relatively healthy. With the improvement of consumer confidence and the further recovery of the national economy, courier industry operations will also maintain a steady growth trend. The Chinese Communist Party will still focus on doing its best, while paying attention to operating safety and network stability, while doing things and doing things. There are three tasks in front of us. The first is to work hard and work hard. to build an online tool to assist employees to get a market price, to guide endpoints, to build small platform thinking, to help employees to start businesses and recruit, and to increase the percentage of retail sales. Second, deepening the network, especially the ability of endpoints to build. The focus is on the deployment of the ability of endpoints to help and support.

If, in the past ten years, the central government has surpassed and maintained the lead in the connection between the headquarters and the center, then the next stage of health development will be based on our center's focus on whether the connection between the employees and customers can form a solid storage box. We are full of confidence in the prospects of China's express delivery industry development. He or she misjudges and does not optimize the digitalization operation and the formalization management, which will impede the middle class and hinder our leading advantage.
