尊敬的各位嘉宾、女士们、先生们：
在春暖花开，风和日丽的四月，我们以喜悦的心情，参加广州摩恩水暖器材
有限公司成立十周年晚宴。在此，谨代表广州建材企业集团有限公司向一直关心和支持广州摩恩发展的各位领导、各位嘉宾表示最热烈的欢迎和诚挚的问候！
广州摩恩水暖器材有限公司是美国摩恩公司与广州建材企业集团有限公司在95年共同投资组建的合资公司，96年正式生产。公司成立的时候只拥有十几位员工、投产当年销售额仅仅是5百多万元。但十年发展及翻新，随着不断的发展壮大，今天的广州摩恩已经拥有近六百员工，2005年的销售额已经达到6亿5千多万人民币，其中将近八成的产品是出口的，年缴纳各种税款达到5千3百多万人民币。这些成绩是在市委、市政府及相关部门领导的关心与支持下，在美国摩恩公司与广州建材集团相关职能部门的协作配合下，更是在广州摩恩全体员工的辛勤劳动下取得的！市外经委、市经贸委、市海关、税务、城管等各个部门都给了这个公司、十年发展过程中给了无微不至的关心、关怀和帮助。所以才能够取得今天这样的一个成果。为此，我代表广州摩恩董事会向大家表示衷心的感谢！
回顾广州摩恩这十年来的发展路程，既有艰苦创业的辛酸，也有飞速发展的喜悦，在这过程中，中美合作双方一直同心协力、携手共进，为建设广州摩恩不断投入大量人力、物力与财力，积极为广州摩恩的快速发展提供有利条件。这种良好的合作关系是广州摩恩所取得骄人成绩的重要基础，更为广州摩恩今后进一步发展提供了重要的保障。
展望未来，广州摩恩前程似锦，我们已经制定了很好的发展规划并在逐步的推进中，其中，今年下半年斥资一千多万人民币进行SAP的管理信息系统的实施，将为今后的进一步发展奠定坚实的管理基础；广州建材集团多投入近3000多万元人民币，为广州摩恩新建的厂房、仓库与办公室，也将于今年的7月份开始交付使用，这将为广州摩恩的发展营造完善的硬件条件；美国摩恩也有计划将美国的研发中心逐步地移到广州摩恩，这将为广州摩恩的发展提供有力的技术保障。下半年，各位再去看，整个广州摩恩将是一个新的形象。然而广州摩恩未来的发展仍然是任重道远的，面临的竞争也将是更激烈的。希望我们中美双方、合作双方和全体广州摩恩员工一道继续努力，再创辉煌，也希望市委、市政府及有关部门领导一如既往地给予广州摩恩支持、帮助与指导，为广州摩恩的发展提供更好的环境与空间。
再一次感谢大家，感谢正在为广州摩恩SAP项目正在劳动的11位专家；感谢我们广州摩恩的管理层；通过大家感谢我们广州摩恩全体员工；也感谢我们市国资委、市外经贸委、外经贸局，也感谢我们广州市各个部门对我们企业给予的大力的支持和关心。
祝各位身体健康，祝大家共度一个美好的晚宴。谢谢大家！

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
On this warm April night with blossoms and gentle breeze, we are extremely delighted to be gathering here to attend the dinner banquet celebrating the 10thanniversary of Moen Guangzhou Faucet Co. Ltd.. Here, on behalf of Guangzhou Building Materials Enterprise Group Limited, I wish to extend our warmest welcome and sincere greetings to all the leaders and guests present, who have always shown great interest in and support for MGFC.
Guangzhou Moen Faucet Co. Ltd. is a joint venture established in 1995 by Moen Incorporated and Guangzhou Building Materials Enterprise Group Limited. Production began in 1996. At the time when the company began its operation, there were only a dozen employees, with the sales volume reaching some 5 million yuan RMB in the first year of production. However, with a decade of development and expansion, MGFC has now grown to be a company employing 600 people. In 2005, its annual sales volume amounted to more than 650 million yuan RMB, of which 80% of MGFC’s products went to the overseas market, generating 53 million yuan RMB tax revenue for the government. Such achievements should be attributed to the solicitude and support from leaders of the CPC Guangzhou Committee, the Municipal Government of Guangzhou and relevant government departments, to the coordination and collaboration between Moen Incorporated and Guangzhou Building Materials Enterprise Group Limited, and to the hard work of the whole staff of MGFC. The Municipal Foreign Economic Commission, the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Commission, the Customs, Tax and Urban Administration Departments, among others, have given our company meticulous support in the past ten years of its development. It is with this support that we have attained such great achievements. Here, on behalf of the board of directors of MGFC, I’d like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all the above-mentioned people.
The past decade of MGFC was filled with hardships at the start of our business as well as joy for our accelerated development. These ten years witnessed the joint efforts and the entrepreneurial spirits from both the Chinese side and the American side, who have devoted huge human resources, capitals and materials to the creation of most favorable conditions for the rapid growth of MGFC. Such friendly cooperation, I believe, not only forms the key basis of MGFC’s remarkable performance, but also ensures the further development of the company.
As we look ahead to the future, we see even brighter prospects awaiting MGFC. For that, we have already formulated sound development plans and are now taking steps to put them into practice. Part of our plans is to invest more than 10 million yuan RMB later this year into the establishment of SAP management information system, which will form solid management foundations for the future growth of the company. In the meantime, another 30 million yuan RMB project of new factories, warehouses and office buildings, an investment made by Guangzhou Building Materials Enterprise Group Limited will be completed in July this year and put into use, which will lead to better hardware for the future growth of the company. Moreover, Moen Incorporated is now planning to gradually move it R&D Center from the US to Guangzhou, which will guarantee strong technical support to the future growth of the company. In the second half of this year, if you come for another visit, I’m sure you’ll see a brand-new MGFC. Despite all these favorable conditions, MGFC still has a long way to go and is faced with even fiercer competitions. It is my sincere hope that we two partners from both sides of the Pacific as well as the MGFC staff will continue our joint efforts and achieve even greater success in the future. I also hope that leaders of the CPC Guangzhou Committee, the Municipal Government and relevant departments will offer, as always, their support, help and advice to MGFC and provide MGFC with even better environment for its growth.
Once again I would like to thank all of you. I thank the 11 experts who are now working for MGFC’s SAP project; I thank the MGFC management; I thank, through you, all the staff of MGFC. My thanks also goes to the Municipal State-owned Assets Commission, the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Commission, the Foreign Trade and Economic Bureau, and all relevant departments of Guangzhou Municipal Government for you great support and solicitude for our company.
I wish you good health, and I hope you have a wonderful dinner. Thank you very much!
