"Never give up, fierce execution." - CEO Zhou Kang's New Year's Greetings.

The passage of time brings constant renewal and fresh opportunities.

With the arrival of the radiant sunshine, we bid farewell to the challenges and hardships of 2018 and welcome the hopeful and enterprising year of 2019. As we stand at the beginning of the year, looking back, we feel joy, gratitude, and pride. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I express sincere thanks and heartfelt New Year wishes to all the employees and their families working tirelessly in data centers across the country, to the customers and partners who have supported and trusted us, and to the governments at all levels, individuals from all walks of life, partners, and friends who have always cared for and supported the cause of ZDATA!

The just-passed 2018 is a milestone year in the development process of ZDATA Group, a year of opportunities, risks, and innovation. In this year, the company has flourished and continued to develop, with new employees accounting for 40%. The company completed the share reform, taking the first step towards listing. The company secured Series A financing, gaining solid capital support. ZDATA expanded its business footprint to Hong Kong. The company's various business sectors accelerated their rise, achieving new highs in various indicators, and the enterprise's operational and management level reached new heights.

CEO Zhou Kang expressed that as business leaders, they should adhere to the spirit of management serving business and stick to the entrepreneurial original intention. Business leaders should spend 50% of their time and energy on finding high-caliber talents and corporate strategies, rather than primarily getting involved in the affairs themselves.

In the new year, ZDATA will continue to deepen its reforms, facing the critical period of achieving digital and intelligent development. In the face of the changing global competition landscape, we need to demonstrate the entrepreneurial spirit of overcoming difficulties, embrace digital and internet thinking, adopt a more open international posture, bravely carve our own path, hold high the flag of innovation, and continue to set sail for international waters.

Climbing to a high point to look into the distance, one can survey the journey so far. China has entered a new era, and the information revolution is propelling the world to unprecedented heights, with the globe standing on the eve of significant transformation. On the "inevitable path" of reform and opening up, we will continue to work hard, with the future of ZDATA intertwined at the intersection of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, symbolized by the Chinese Dream, and the historic opportunities presented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

In the era of decisively building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and subsequently constructing a socialist modernized country, we are on the brink of a bright prospect to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. ZDATA Group, guided by its mission to be a globally leading, comprehensive, and diversified "cloud infrastructure service provider," consistently upholds the sense of social responsibility as an exemplary enterprise. With a commitment to fulfilling the era's mission of revitalizing the domestic internet industry, focusing on the real industry, remaining unwavering in purpose, and working steadfastly, we forge ahead, sharpening our resolve for the dream!
