At the end of 2025, all colleagues from Yanshang Hydraulic gathered in Liyang, Jiangsu, for a two-day team-building event from December 26 to 27. The event, centered on the theme ‘Building a Solid Management Foundation, Focusing on Product Innovation, Working Together for a Better Yanshang Future,’ featured carefully designed team activities, themed meetings, and cultural experiences. It not only strengthened team cohesion but also deepened everyone’s understanding and recognition of the company’s development strategy, giving a strong boost to the upcoming journey in 2026.

Setting Off: A Winter Journey Under the Warm Sun

At 8:30 a.m. on December 26, the employees of Yanshang Hydraulic, full of anticipation and enthusiasm, set off from the company, heading to Liyang. During the three-hour drive, the atmosphere in the bus was relaxed and cheerful. Colleagues from different departments took the opportunity to chat and connect, breaking the usual boundaries of the workplace. Outside the window, the winter scenery of Jiangnan complemented the warm, friendly vibes inside the bus, hinting that this would be a rewarding team trip.

By 11:30 a.m., the team arrived on time at their accommodation for the team-building event—the Lanyang Lindon Hotel. Surrounded by picturesque mountains and rivers, the hotel offered a serene environment, providing an ideal setting for the upcoming activities.

Collaboration: Wisdom and Team Chemistry in Games

After lunch, the first major part of this team-building event—the team collaboration games—officially kicked off. The organizers carefully designed a series of games aimed at enhancing teamwork, using innovative twists on classics like ‘Around the World’ and ‘Monopoly’ to compete and determine the winning team.

In the game, each team member faced challenges, communicated actively, and brainstormed together, showing amazing creativity and execution. In the “Around the World” game segment, team members needed to quickly come up with strategies, divide tasks reasonably, and execute effectively, a process that’s just like a snapshot of everyday business management.

In the ‘Monopoly’ challenge segment, each team needs to break the conventional thinking and come up with solutions that are both rule-abiding and creative, which is a vivid reflection of Yanshang Hydraulic’s constant innovation and adaptability in market competition.

After intense but friendly competition, the winning team was finally decided. But more importantly, throughout the process, every participant deeply realized that whether it’s individual wisdom or team strength, they can only turn into real results when guided by clear goals and through effective communication and collaboration.

Gathering: The Intellectual Elevation of the Thematic Meeting

That afternoon, the team-building meeting officially kicked off. Mr. Zhu Wenying, CEO of Yanshang Hydraulic, delivered an important speech titled ‘Firmly Laying the Foundation of Management, Grasping Product Innovation, Working Together to Create a Better Future for Yanshang’.

Mr. Zhu Wenying first reviewed the company’s development over the past year and acknowledged the contributions of all employees in their respective roles. Then, focusing on the theme of ‘management foundation,’ he emphasized the importance of keeping the management system scientific and standardized amid rapid growth. When talking about ‘product innovation,’ Mr. Zhu Wenying combined industry trends with the company’s strategic direction to outline key areas and breakthrough directions for product development in the coming year. He encouraged all employees: ‘Innovation is not just the responsibility of the R&D department, it’s on everyone at Yanshang. No matter what your position is, you can contribute unique perspectives and value to product innovation.’ Finally, Mr. Zhu Wenying said warmly: ‘“Working together with one heart” is not only the theme of this team-building event but also the core of Yanshang’s culture. Facing the challenges and opportunities of the future market, only if everyone at Yanshang pulls together, thinks as one, and exerts effort in the same direction, can we create an even better future for Yanshang Technology!’

After the speech, the audience erupted in warm and sustained applause. Mr. Zhu Wenying’s words not only clarified the company’s direction but also sparked passion and confidence in every employee.

Reflection: The Experience of Blending Nature and Culture

On the morning of December 27th, our team headed to Yao Lake Town for a half-day cultural and nature trip. Everyone rode the uniquely charming ‘Cloud Mini Train’ within the scenic area, slowly weaving through the town’s landscapes and taking in the quiet beauty that’s unique to Jiangnan in winter.

Yao Lake Town retains the rich charm of a traditional Jiangnan water town while incorporating modern design elements. This harmonious blend of tradition and modernity is much like how Yan Shang Hydraulics continuously innovates in technology while never forgetting its original intention of serving users.

Harvest: Building Consensus and Looking Ahead

After returning to the hotel for lunch, this Liyang team-building activity came to a successful close. Although the two-day trip was short, the gains were rich and far-reaching:

First, it strengthened team cohesion. Through carefully designed games and activities, colleagues from different departments and levels built deeper connections and understanding, breaking down communication barriers present in daily work.

Second, it deepened strategic alignment. Mr. Zhu Wenying’s keynote speech clearly conveyed the company’s development strategy and core values, helping all employees gain a deeper understanding and recognition of the company’s direction.

Third, it sparked innovative thinking. Whether through creative challenges in games or the inspiration from the natural and cultural environment, employees had opportunities to think outside the box, storing inspiration for future product innovation and work improvements.

Fourth, it balanced work and life. In the beautiful natural surroundings, employees could temporarily escape work pressures, relax both body and mind, and recharge for the challenges of the new year.

This Liyang team-building wasn’t just a perfect ending for 2025, but also the starting point for the new journey in 2026. With firmer belief, a closer team, and a clearer strategic direction, all Yanshang people are ready to work together and create a brighter future for Yanshang Technology!
