In terms of daily basic work, we continued to optimize the operation of Alibaba International Station and Xiaoman foreign trade platform this week. We improved product English descriptions, updated parameter information, product application cases and factory qualification documents, and adjusted keyword layout to enhance product exposure and search ranking in overseas markets. In daily customer follow-up work, we actively screened overseas purchasing demands, responded to customer consultation in a timely manner, sorted out product specifications, calculated product weight, quantity and freight cost accurately, and provided standardized FOB quotation sheets and professional product solutions for potential customers. We maintained efficient and standardized business processes throughout the week to ensure that every inquiry and customer demand was properly recorded and followed up.

In terms of market research and industry analysis, we have deeply understood the current difficulties of steel and building materials foreign trade business. At present, the overseas market of Chinese steel building materials is highly transparent and fiercely competitive. The price of steel bulk commodities fluctuates frequently due to the changes of raw material cost and ocean freight, which brings great uncertainty to quotation work. A large number of peer manufacturers adopt low-price competition strategies, resulting in strong price comparison awareness among overseas customers and increasing difficulties in new customer development and order conversion. In addition, international trade barriers continue to rise. Carbon tariffs, anti-dumping policies and strict overseas inspection standards have raised the threshold for the export of steel structural building materials, resulting in long customer decision-making cycles and slow order progress.

Quod ad praesentes operis difficultates attinet, quamvis cotidie activam evolutionem et responsiones ad quaesita curavimus, numerus quaestionum efficacium hac hebdomade insufficiens est. Ratio conversionis ex potencialibus clientibus parva est, quod ad condiciones mercati et ad contentionem in industria referri potest. Simul, propter complicatos parametres productorum et varia postulationes de ingeniaria personalizatione in structuris ferreis et in tabulis sanduich, novi operarii diu tempus necesse habent ut experientiam industrialem et res clientium accumulent, quod progressum in novis ordinibus tardat.

Pro planum operis pro proxima hebdomade: primo, pergamus ad optimizandum operationem platformae, ad ampliandos canales ad evolvendos clientes activos, et ad augendam frequentiam evolutionis directae pro aedificatoribus technicis transmarinis, mercatoribus constructionis fabricarum, et distributoribus materialium aedificiorum. Secundo, ulterius ordinabimus praevantagia productorum, optimizabimus celeritatem et professionalitatem quotandi, et meliorabimus efficaciam sequendarum clientium. Tertio, pergamus ad observandum mutationes pretiorum in mercatu, ad accumulandum datos industriae, ad summarium experientiam quotandi, et ad evitandum risus negotii causatos per fluctuationes materiarum primarum et onerum transportis. Denique, pergamus ad servandum clientium curam patientem et continuam, ad gradatim accumulandum resurgentes res clientium de alta qualitate, et ad conandum ad consequendum incrementum efficax inquisitionum et rupturam novorum ordinum in proxima hebdomade.

In general, although there are no obvious order results this week, all basic work has been completed in an orderly manner. In the face of the difficult industry environment, our team will keep a positive working attitude, continuously optimize business methods, make up for work shortcomings, and steadily promote the long-term development of the company’s overseas foreign trade business.
