The meeting was held during the trough period of the industry, but the overseas marketing strategy consultants still showed unprecedented confidence in XCMG and great determination. "In the most dismal time of the industry, some enterprises have lost their confidence and get started on construction mechanization or industrial diversification. However, XCMG, as the leader in China's construction machinery industry, becomes the only one persisting in and focusing on construction machinery under the leadership of Chairman Wang Min. XCMG shows its spirit of persistence as a backbone in China's equipment manufacturing in the most difficult times,” Mr. Liu Jiansen said in the meeting.

Against a background of sluggish demand, overcapacity and fierce competition in the global construction machinery market, XCMG's export was growing against the depressed trend. Overseas consultants highly appraised the strategy of "sticking to the main industry" and "reaching the top of Mount Everest" proposed by Chairman Wang Min, and they considered that the continuous upgrading of XCMG brand and its competitiveness in overseas market benefited from professional business strategies provided by upper-level managers as well as continuous product innovation and efficient internal management.
