It's wonderful to have friends visiting from far. Best Cheers!

Another year has passed. From the moment the Spring Festival passed, we all grew up by one year and our lives were shortened by another year. It seems like just in the blink of an eye, time flies by in such a hurry.

However, when one quiets down, there are always regrets left in the past, and there is always beauty that still happens at the right time.

Sometimes, thinking about it, everyone is constantly making choices or bidding farewell to old times amidst the regrets of yesterday and the longing for tomorrow.

However, the temperature in life is mostly a constant expectation and unwavering hope. Just like this sentence: "You wait for the south wind to arrive, I wait for the old friend to return", the warmth is strong and strong.

Life is hurried, there will always be south winds and memories that will warm your heart, and there will always be old friends waiting for you as before.

The warmth of time will eventually overflow the banks of time, meeting each and every time we meet again, we will always encounter the dark willows and bright flowers.

Xiamen, with the south wind in March, is the annual gathering of global stone enthusiasts. Accompanying Chinese stone people through 24 years of spring and autumn, the Xiamen International Stone Exhibition,

It is not only a grand event for Chinese stone enthusiasts, but also a grand event for world stone enthusiasts. Communication, friendship, cross-border cooperation, prediction, and leadership provide a global stage for stone people to welcome in, go out, and develop globally.

Xiamen, a city full of artistic style, a leisurely city garden, beautiful Egret Island and stone exhibitions once again embrace each other.

The exhibition is a show, meeting is fate, meeting is a song, with you, me, and him in the song. Today, on a flight to Xiamen, he wrote passionately:

There is no grandeur of the ocean, no grandeur of the great river, only the waves stirred up by time. I am Moiese from Porrino town which produce granitas Rose Porrino, a pink hemp from a Spanish mine, without the towering mountains or the proud figure of a pine tree

Flying over the ocean, bypassing mountains, crossing deserts, with a heart towards the sun, there are endless journeys on the journey, not to mention the bumpy, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy roads are all songs.

The mountains and rivers give me a beating pulse, the sunshine gives me a youthful luster, my life flows endlessly, the distant sea calls me, and the distant Xiamen calls me.

This is a poem created by Mr. Moises, an old friend who has been working with me for nearly 22 years. He graduated from Vigo Engieering University in Spain in his early years and has just entered the famous stone factory Graniter in Spain. He has been collaborating on the saw blade steel grit project for cutting granite blocks from Spanish quarries since then.

Express the passion of this overseas natural mining person who has been with Xiamen Stone Exhibition for 15 years. At this moment, returning home is like an arrow, seeing old friends again, bidding farewell to old friends, and hoping to use this exhibition to achieve new career development, new breakthroughs in product selection, and the ambition to turn the tide. Ambition and emotions are vividly on paper.

This week, he specifically wrote an email to say that his first job is to meet Mr. Liu Yibo from Beijing Ganyan, a Diamond Tools factory. He has been distributing Ganyan diamond stone tools to produce high-quality diamond tools and discussing the mainstream SOFT-CUT flexible cutting technology in the Spanish stone industry together. He specifically brings his hometown produced Spanish red wine as a gift.

As an exporter of mining machinery and stone tools, Xiamen Prodrill Equipment Co.,Ltd has spent 16 unforgettable years with Xiamen Stone Exhibition, resonating with the exhibition, resonating with the market, and winning with customers.

As one of the few mining self media professionals in China, I have written over 30 original articles related to the theme of the Xiamen International Stone Exhibition in 2017, from heart to heart, for 7 years,

The original flavor records the ups and downs of life, passionate years, and original intention of Chinese ordinary stone mining and foreign trade professionals: the determination and will to resonate with this era of traffic, content, and experience.

Words feed you, writing for thousands of mountains, writing for you. Looking at all the stars, it's you in my dream. Three parts moonlight, seven parts are you. The book turns yellow, and the title page is yours. After the hustle and bustle, by the pillow is you. Traveling through thousands of rivers, the end is you. Thousands of mountains and rivers, it's still you who belong.

From March 5, 2017, the 15th China Xiamen International Stone Exhibition's Xiamen Stone Exhibition Storm struck! What have you earned?

On June 8, 2023, the 23rd China Xiamen International Stone Exhibition will return to its grand ceremony, witnessing the brilliant blooming of Honor I at the 2023 Xiamen Stone Exhibition

With heart, emotion, and notes, every Xiamen Stone Exhibition develops rapidly, driven by innovation and ecological fission.

Every professional exhibition will attract domestic and foreign upstream and downstream enterprises, relevant research institutes, and government departments to gather. Holding a good exhibition and revitalizing a chain, Xiamen's exhibition industry has accumulated a long-standing strength, continuously empowering the high-quality development of Xiamen's industry.

The Xiamen International Stone Exhibition has been held continuously for 23 sessions, with an exhibition area of no more than 4000 square meters. Now, the exhibition hall of the 24th Xiamen International Stone Exhibition covers an area of nearly 200000 square meters, with 2000 exhibitors and 25 exhibition halls.

From the development of local industries to the world's largest stone exhibition, covering the entire industry chain, Xiamen's stone industry has opened an international window with almost no foundation, and has also deeply excavated the "rich mine" of Fujian's stone industry.

I believe that this unprecedented exhibition will fully boost the "heat value" of Xiamen Convention and Exhibition, help the Chinese stone industry embark on a new journey and innovate performance in 2024, and help Chinese stone enterprises forge a new "stone" generation and construct a new ecology in 2024.

The Xiamen International Stone Exhibition, with its world-class strength, unparalleled confidence, and courage to take the lead, is practicing the three key words and one slogan of this year's two sessions. They are:

New quality productivity, high-quality development, and high-level opening up to the outside world.

Get out of the game if you don't export!

At first glance, these are three highly abstract concepts and slogans. But upon careful consideration, they can not only form an efficient system or economic model.

And it is the inevitability of the times, the key to the future, and also contains China's confidence and confidence. If you don't believe it, you can take a look overseas - Chinese stone companies that have undergone high-quality development are taking big steps to expand their industrial capabilities.

This not only represents the rise of new productive forces, but also illustrates the complementary relationship between high-quality development and high-level opening up to the outside world.

Bestcheer Stone Group has been investing in new mines and stone processing plants in Namibia for 30 years. Wanli Stone Group, a listed company on the main board, has invested in an stone factory in South Africa, and a state-owned enterprise, Antai Steel Research Diamond Tools, has set up a factory in Thailand

As leading enterprises in the domestic stone industry, they are representatives of the industry's going global and a model of deep globalization.

Society is developing and times are changing. Unlike the past, Chinese enterprises are not only exporting products, but also exporting industrial capabilities and systems. The way Chinese enterprises globalize needs to change, shifting from exporting products to exporting industrial capabilities.

I believe that behind this lies the accumulation of technology, experience, and models brought about by years of high-quality development. It is the result of quantitative to qualitative changes after technological progress and industrial chain evolution, as well as the determination and confidence of Chinese enterprises to actively open up to the outside world at a high level.

Of course, doing so will also break the glass ceiling of the enterprise itself and reap new growth curves. And around these industry leaders, a large number of upstream and downstream enterprises have also set sail, rooting the "Chinese stone industry system" rather than "Made in China" overseas.

This is a historical inevitability. After years of development, the natural and artificial stone manufacturing industry is a relatively competitive industry in China, with output reaching 50% of the world.

But this is already the ceiling of the industry. To achieve a breakthrough, it is necessary to upgrade the world's factories, transform the output of products into the output of industrial capabilities, industrial systems, and industrial experience. It is necessary to establish a production industry chain globally, so as to establish a competitive advantage in the markets of major economies around the world.

Pen Lao saw that while upgrading the industry, Chinese high-quality stone enterprises have not only crossed the cycle but also laid a higher foundation for development by expanding overseas. And the profitability of enterprises is only one aspect of high-level opening up to the outside world.

The economic model of "high-quality development, new productive forces, and high-level opening up to the outside world" has unprecedented vitality and potential.

I believe that this exhibition will attract more overseas merchants to purchase high-quality products from China, and more Chinese stone enterprises will also go out to achieve deeper globalization!

Countdown to 5 days!

March 16-19, Xiamen International Stone Exhibition.

A top-level design feast, interpreting the infinite beauty of stone, exploring the aesthetic application of stone space together, and the global layout of the stone industry.
