Respected leaders, distinguished guests from home and abroad, partners, shareholders, and dear Depei family members, good afternoon! Welcome to the Depei 20th Anniversary Celebration! There is still a moment before the ceremony officially begins. Please sign in in an orderly manner and take your seats. Over the past 20 years, Depei has grown from a start-up company to a stable and steadily developing enterprise rooted in foreign trade, which is inseparable from the companionship of every friend here. Today, we gather together to celebrate this happy moment. Now, let us wait for the event to begin, and recall the scene ten years ago as if it were still in front of our eyes. Let's look back on today ten years ago.
Respected leaders, esteemed partners, and dear colleagues, good afternoon! Welcome to the 20th anniversary celebration of Depai Import and Export Trading Company! Time is silent, yet years leave their traces. The video just shown, every frame and every detail, embodies the years and our original aspiration. In just a few minutes, it condenses the entire 20 years of Depai's time and perseverance. From 2006 to 2026, 20 years of changes and deep exploration. Nanjing Depai, rooted in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has established itself in the textile import and export industry. We have deeply cultivated woven and knitted fabrics of all categories, expanded the foreign trade territory of clothing, and moved from our headquarters in Nanjing to a 6,000-square-meter operation base in Shaoxing. Step by step, we have brought craftsmanship fabrics and reliable quality to the whole country and the world. Twenty years is a journey of perseverance and progress, but also a prelude to a new departure. Along the way, every growth and leap of Depai is inseparable from the trust and support of our customers and friends, the collaboration of our partners, the steadfast commitment of our shareholders, and the silent hard work of every Depai family member. Next, let's give a warm applause to welcome shareholder representative Li Xiaomeng to the stage to deliver a speech!
Respected leaders, esteemed partners, distinguished guests, and dear colleagues:
Today, we gather here with joy to witness the significant moment of Nanjing Depai Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd. celebrating its 20th anniversary. As one of the company's founders and a shareholder representative, I stand here filled with emotion, gratitude, and deep sentiments. First and foremost, please allow me to extend, on behalf of all the shareholders of the company, our warmest welcome and deepest gratitude to all the foreign guests who have traveled from afar, our long-term partners who have been with us through thick and thin, all the friends from various sectors who have shown concern and support for our company's development, and all the family members and friends who have silently supported us from behind. To every Depai employee who has worked hard and stood by our side through the past 20 years, I want to say: You've worked hard!
Twenty years of spring blossoms and autumn fruits, twenty years of resolute steps. Looking back to 2006, we started from scratch with ignorance towards the textile industry and aspirations for international trade. By the side of Xuanwu Lake under the Purple Mountain, in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, where tigers crouch and dragons coil, Nanjing officially embarked on Depai's entrepreneurial journey. In the early days of entrepreneurship, conditions were rudimentary, funds were limited, and the market was unknown, making the journey fraught with difficulties. The path of business expansion was filled with pressure and challenges, but we always adhered to our original aspiration, upheld the business philosophy and dream of putting people first and establishing our career with integrity, and took one step at a time to steadily advance to this day.
Through countless rounds of adjustment and breakthroughs, we have gradually earned the trust of our customers and the support of our partners, establishing a global trade network. From an initial team of just a few to a professional team of hundreds today, it all stems from the hard work, dedication, perseverance, and companionship of every Depei employee. Standing at a new starting point, we will continue to uphold our original aspiration, driven by innovation, deeply cultivate the textile field, and work together with all parties to create a more brilliant future, allowing the Depei brand to shine even brighter on the textile stage.
The modest achievements Depei has made today are never the credit of any single individual. Over the past two decades of development, what I am most proud of is not the expansion of the company's scale or the growth of its performance, but the fact that we have always had a team that shares the same vision and never gives up on each other. I would like to thank every Depei employee who has fought side by side with me. Over the past two decades, generation after generation of Depei employees have taken root in their positions and fulfilled their duties. They have accompanied the company along the way, leaving their best years at Depei. Whether it was the hustle and bustle of business development, the meticulous attention to detail in production processes, the diligence in daily work, or the mutual support in times of difficulties, I have seen it all and remembered it in my heart. Here, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all Depei employees: Thank you for being with me all the way, through thick and thin!
We would also like to express our gratitude to our partners and customers who have been with us every step of the way. The journey of international trade is a long one, and it's not possible to go it alone. Over the past two decades, we have been committed to quality as our foundation and integrity as our bridge, working hand in hand with all our partners. It is your trust, tolerance, and support that have enabled Depai's products to reach customers worldwide and our brand to gain a firm foothold in the international market. We cherish this friendship that spans mountains and seas. You are our most trusted comrades, and no matter how the market changes, we always treat each other with sincerity and strive for win-win cooperation. Thanks to your trust and support, we have the courage to continuously expand our market, iterate our products, and enhance our services. Looking ahead, we also look forward to deepening our cooperation and jointly exploring broader horizons. Let me extend our warmest applause to you all.
And to all the family members and friends who have been silently supporting us from behind. During those late nights of overtime, it was the warm meals prepared by our family that warmed our stomachs; during those anxious moments, it was the patient listening of our friends that calmed our nerves. Thank you for silently supporting us and lifting us up to our dreams. You are the gentle strength that propels us through these weary days.
Twenty years marks the culmination of a journey, and even more, it signifies a brand-new starting point. Twenty years of trials and tribulations, twenty years of forging ahead with determination. The past glories have been captured in time, and a brand-new journey lies ahead. Let us take the 20th anniversary as a new starting point, unite our hearts and minds, forge ahead with determination, and jointly create a more brilliant future for Depai!
Lastly, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the guests and friends for your presence! May you all enjoy good health, prosperous careers, and a happy family! May our Nanjing Depai thrive and achieve greater glories! Thank you all!
Thank you, Mr. Li, for your sincere, heartfelt, and warm speech! Looking back on our 20-year entrepreneurial journey, from our original aspiration to pursue dreams in 2006 when we set sail in Jinling, to our deep cultivation and transformation through wind and rain, Mr. Li's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart, expressing not only the company's remarkable past of starting from scratch and growing through perseverance, but also a deep tribute to all the employees who have stood by our side, the partners who have supported us wholeheartedly, and the friends and family who have silently provided a safety net. This gratitude, perseverance, and original aspiration are the driving forces behind Depai's steady progress over the past 20 years and the confidence we have to move towards the future. The longevity of our enterprise stems from our deep cultivation and hard work; to achieve stability and long-term success, it is crucial to work together with one heart. The vigorous development of our company over the past 20 years is inseparable from the concerted efforts and support of our upstream and downstream partners. For a long time, the foundation of the textile industry lies in craftsmanship, and its strength lies in the source. A high-quality grey fabric supply chain is the core foundation for Depai to gain recognition from customers both at home and abroad and maintain its market position over the past 20 years. Xinchang Zhuoyuan Textile Co., Ltd. has always been deeply cooperating with us, and with their craftsmanship and reliable commitment, they have laid a solid foundation and empowered our long-term development. Next, let's give the warmest applause to welcome Mr. Pan Wenbin, General Manager of Xinchang Zhuoyuan Textile Co., Ltd., to the stage to deliver his speech. Welcome, Mr. Pan!
Dear Chairman Cai, esteemed leaders, all members of Depei team, and dear colleagues and friends:
Midsummer follows the light, let's celebrate together! It is a great honor to be invited to attend the 20th anniversary celebration of Depai. I am delighted to gather with all my dear friends and colleagues to witness the fruits of two decades of deep cultivation and to celebrate Depai's brilliant 20th anniversary. Here, on behalf of all my colleagues at Zhuoyuan, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations and sincere best wishes to Depai Company and all our family members who have worked side by side!
Twenty years of trials and tribulations have tempered our original aspiration, and twenty years of perseverance have ushered in a new chapter. Looking back on the entrepreneurial journey of Depai over the past two decades, there have been arduous treks under the stars and moons, as well as abundant fruits of hard work and dedication. I have listened to Chairman Cai recount his entrepreneurial aspirations and past struggles. At the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey, Chairman Cai traveled extensively and was always dusty and weary, in order to expand the market and consolidate customer foundations. To save expenses, he carried a quilt with him and slept on the streets. He always worked hard and down-to-earth, never easily retreating. This perseverance, resilience, entrepreneurial aspiration, and practical responsibility deeply moved me and earned my sincere admiration.
It is precisely this spirit of perseverance, unwavering commitment, and long-term effort that has enabled Depai to navigate through the tides of the industry, overcome obstacles, make steady progress, and achieve its current reputation and impressive results. The story of Depai's struggle is the best interpretation of hard work and serves as a lifelong example for all enterprises and practitioners to learn from.
Today marks a double celebration. This year is not only a milestone for Depai, marking two decades of deep industry involvement, but also the 20th anniversary of Zhuoyuan's founding, representing our original aspiration. Furthermore, it is the 15th year since Zhuoyuan and Depai have been working together hand in hand and sharing the same goals. Many colleagues may not know that our bond has been deeply rooted for many years. From 2010 to 2017, Zhuoyuan worked in a shadow partnership mode, silently gathering strength and deeply cultivating. It was precisely relying on Depai's vast platform, inclusiveness, and recognition that we were able to accumulate experience, build up strength, and grow steadily. In 2017, thanks to Chairman Cai's appreciation and love, we officially joined Depai, moving from behind the scenes to the forefront. We always cherish this hard-won cooperation opportunity and the long-standing trust and support.
It is precisely this profound and deep-rooted affection that makes me deeply aware that only by constantly improving myself can I live up to the trust placed in me. After initiating a deep collaboration in 2017, we clearly recognized our shortcomings. In order to align with Depai's high-quality development standards and provide ultimate service, Zhuoyuan has made every effort to innovate and upgrade, introducing top-notch advanced equipment from Japan, honing a professional elite team, and comprehensively enhancing service capabilities and quality. Our ultimate goal is to safeguard this mutual friendship in the best possible manner.
To this day, I still deeply remember a heartwarming conversation with Chairman Cai. At that time, I sincerely admitted that for me and Zhuoyuan, Depai was no longer just a simple cooperative client, but more like our own enterprise. We have always been fully committed and dedicated to each other. Chairman Cai's response deeply moved me and will be unforgettable for life. He sincerely said to me, "Mr. Pan, my finances are your finances." These simple words carried more weight than a thousand gold ingots. This unreserved trust deeply shocked and warmed me. On this beautiful occasion of the 20th anniversary celebration, on behalf of all Zhuoyuan colleagues, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Chairman Cai, who is warm and responsible, with a broad vision, and to the Depai team, who are kind and loyal, working together with unity!
emain true to our original aspiration and move forward with unity. Nowadays, Depei is empowered by the world's top 500 Hengli Group and escorted by various industry big names, laying a solid foundation for its development and opening up a vast future. In the future, Zhuoyuan will always adhere to our original aspiration, be steadfast in our partnership, and be willing to be the most loyal, reliable, and attentive behind-the-scenes "servant" of Depei. We will provide full empowerment, full cooperation, and full escort throughout the process, and work side by side with Depei to deeply cultivate and win a win-win future!
After two decades of flourishing, we embark on a new journey to pursue our dreams! May Depei, this industry giant, ride the wind and break the waves, gallop across the seas, establish itself in China and expand globally, allowing Depei's high-quality fabrics to shine in every corner of the world! May Depei's business thrive, its wealth increase daily, its path be prosperous, and its foundation remain everlasting!
That's all for my speech. Thank you all!
Thank you, General Manager Pan Wenbin, for your sincere, heartfelt, and warm wonderful sharing! General Manager Pan not only looked back fondly on the arduous journey of Depai's 20 years of hard work and pursuit of light, but also eloquently recounted the 15 years of mutual pursuit and companionship between both parties. From the early years of silent cooperation, to officially joining hands and achieving deep win-win results in 2017, we have been through thick and thin together for 15 years, achieving mutual success. The phrase "My finance is your finance" weighs more than a thousand words, representing the purest trust and the most precious friendship. It also makes us deeply feel that Depai and Zhuoyuan have gone beyond ordinary cooperation and become trusted and side-by-side friends and family. We are grateful to Zhuoyuan for their years of steadfast support and wholehearted empowerment, and we look forward to continuing to work together and embark on new journeys in the future. Deepening our industry can lead to stability and long-term success, and craftsmanship and win-win cooperation can ensure the longevity of our business. Over the past 20 years, Depai has always been based on quality and bridged by integrity, gaining the strong support of countless high-quality partners. Hangzhou Hangmin Meishida Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., as a benchmark enterprise in the industry, has been deeply linked and sincerely cooperating with us for many years. With top-notch technology, rigorous quality, and ultimate service, they have joined hands with us to expand the market and build a reputation. They are our core strategic partners who we trust and walk side by side. Next, let's give the warmest applause to Mr. Zhu Yifeng, Deputy General Manager of Hangzhou Hangmin Meishida Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., to come up and deliver a speech. Welcome, Mr. Zhu!
Dear leaders, esteemed business partners, guests, and colleagues from Depai:

Next, let's give a warm applause to welcome Mr. Yang Lin, General Manager of Zhonghuanxin (Nanjing) Environmental Service Co., Ltd., to deliver his speech. Please, Mr. Yang!
Dear leaders, distinguished guests, colleagues, and old friends from Nanjing Depai Company:
Today, with bright lights and a full house, we gather together to witness the 20 years of glorious history and remarkable achievements of Depai Company. I am deeply honored to be invited as a representative of our brother partners to attend this 20th anniversary celebration, and I sincerely feel delighted and proud of Depai Company's fruitful achievements today!
It is often said that it takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to educate a person. However, for a company to firmly establish itself for twenty years is truly remarkable. Twenty years, while not an eternity, can fly by in the blink of an eye; yet, it is long enough for a small startup to gain a foothold in the industry, carve out its own space, and build a solid reputation.
Along the way, all colleagues in the company have worked together with one heart and one mind, cultivating the market with professionalism, winning customers with integrity, and building a reputation with our original aspiration. From small accumulations to large-scale growth, every achievement is inseparable from the vision and insight of the helmsman, and even more so from the diligent and concerted efforts of all employees. After two decades of braving the wind and rain, taking one step at a time, we have embarked on a steady and vigorous path of development that leads to a long-term goal, and written our own brilliant answer with strength!
Mutual understanding and companionship are all due to fate, and walking hand in hand leads to great achievements. As the saying goes, being in the same trade is fate, and mutual understanding is a blessing. Over the years, we have been not only close friends who cherish each other but also partners who help and support each other, walking side by side. We have witnessed each other's growth, encouraged each other to move forward, and forged a deep friendship. This trust that spans the years is the best gift of time and the confidence for us to continue to work together in the future.
Twenty years represents a significant milestone in our journey through trials and hardships, and it also marks a new starting line for us to pursue our dreams. Looking back, we see a rich harvest and no regrets for our youth; looking ahead, we see a vast road ahead and a promising future!
Hereby, in the name of brothers and partners, I would like to extend my sincerest wishes! May Depei Company, standing at a new starting point after two decades, ride the wind and break the waves, achieve greater glories, unfold its grand plans, and thrive day by day!
Wish all leaders of the company success in their grand plans and everlasting prosperity in their careers!
I wish every colleague will not fail to reap what they have sown and achieve something!
We also look forward to working together in unity and moving forward with concerted efforts in the future, embarking on a new journey, achieving new heights, and composing a new chapter!
Over the past two decades, we have forged ahead with determination. The recognition from the outside world and the companionship of our partners are invaluable. Moreover, every long-serving employee who has always been rooted in the company and never left is our most precious treasure. Time passes silently, but persistence shines brightly. The steady growth of our company is inseparable from the dedication and contributions of a group of veterans who have been deeply committed to their positions for decades. At this moment, let's focus our attention on the screen. What is being played now is a special video compilation for employees who have been with the company for over ten years. Each precious photo and every heartfelt moment captures the most beautiful youthful years of everyone, and engraves the warm stories of mutual growth and companionship with the company. Looking back on the past two decades, our most precious treasures, besides our partners and trusted customers, are also a group of long-serving employees who have never left and remain true to their original aspirations. Ten years of companionship, with an unchanging heart; working day and night, not wasting our prime years. They have grown from inexperienced newcomers to mature and capable backbone forces, growing alongside the company and dedicating their most precious and beautiful youth to Depai. Growing in sync with the company is the most precious wealth and strongest foundation for an enterprise. It is precisely this group of Depai people who adhere to their original aspirations and work steadfastly that have gathered into a powerful force driving the company forward. As family members who are moving forward side by side, they are not only participants and witnesses of the company's development, but also beneficiaries and guardians. Next, please welcome Zhu Wei, team leader of the company's export sales team, to share his growth insights and sincere feelings about growing alongside the company. Let's give him a round of applause!
Respected leaders, distinguished guests, and colleagues who work side by side:
Time passes like a song, and wisdom is passed down from generation to generation. Today, we gather together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Depai's prosperity. Here, I would like to express my deepest gratitude and sincerest wishes to Depai, who has been deeply committed and persevering, to all the leaders who have guided us carefully, to my colleagues who have been in the same boat, and to the distinguished guests who have traveled far across mountains and seas. It is my great honor and pride to have accompanied Depai through more than a decade of journey, growing and evolving together with it.
Looking back to 2014, that was the starting point of my association with Depp. From my initial ignorance in the fabric industry to my current proficiency in coordinating various business operations and handling various work challenges with ease, every growth and progress I have made is inseparable from Depp's meticulous cultivation. It is Depp that has built a vast and stable development platform for me, providing me with valuable opportunities to continuously learn, grow through experience, and realize my self-worth, allowing me to accumulate professional knowledge and gain growth in an ordinary position. At the same time, Depp is also the most important witness to my life journey. I am particularly fortunate to have joined this loving family. There is no scheming, no deceit, and no comparison or clinging among colleagues. Colleagues also help each other. Now, when I think of everyone working together and staying late to make a final push at the end of the year, that momentum is really inspiring. Moreover, the company's humanistic care is also heartwarming. The small gifts given on International Women's Day every year make people feel warm inside.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to witness the evolution and growth of Depai. Over the past two decades, the market has undergone tremendous changes, and the textile industry has faced multiple challenges such as price competition, technological innovation, and environmental protection upgrades. However, Depai has always adhered to its original aspiration, remained calm and not followed trends, and deeply cultivated its main business of textile fabrics. It is based on quality, established with integrity, and empowered by innovation. From traditional fabrics to high-end fabrics, from a single category to diversified products, every breakthrough and leap made by the company embodies the team's perseverance and craftsmanship, and also makes every practitioner feel proud.
We are grateful to every overseas customer who has traveled across mountains and seas to reach us. Over the years, you have always trusted and chosen us, accompanying Depai's growth through long-term cooperation. Your recognition is our greatest confidence in deepening our presence in overseas markets and moving forward bravely. We are also grateful to every supplier partner. Over the years, we have worked hand in hand, cooperated tacitly, and helped each other. With excellent supporting guarantees and efficient collaboration, we have ensured the quality of our products and the delivery of orders. The concerted efforts of upstream and downstream partners have contributed to Depai's steady development today.
When drinking water, we should remember its source; when striving for long-term goals, we should persevere diligently. Along the way, my heart is filled with sincere gratitude. I am grateful to the company for providing me with fertile ground to take root in the industry and opportunities for growth and development, enabling me to move forward steadily and make the most of my youth. I am grateful to all the leaders for their careful guidance, tolerance, and empowerment. They answered my questions when I was confused, provided meticulous guidance when I faced difficulties, and allowed me to constantly break through myself and improve my business. I am grateful to all my colleagues for working together with one heart and one mind, helping each other, collaborating in unity, and pooling our efforts to overcome every problem. We efficiently and successfully complete every order, and the warm and united team atmosphere is also the strongest backing for me to forge ahead.
The past is all a prologue, and the future holds endless possibilities. The 20th anniversary marks a brilliant milestone, but also a fresh starting line. In the future, I will always be filled with gratitude, maintain my original enthusiasm, and stay committed to my job. With a more rigorous attitude, professional ability, and full enthusiasm, I will diligently serve every customer, strictly control every production process and shipment, and spare no effort to complete every task.
I also firmly believe that under the leadership of Mr. Cai, with the strong support of customers and suppliers both at home and abroad, and with the concerted efforts of all colleagues, we will unite our hearts and strengths, achieve new heights, keep moving forward on the track of fabrics, and jointly write a more brilliant and glorious new chapter!
Thank you to all our overseas friends for your heartwarming blessings across mountains and seas! A friendship that transcends borders, a commitment that endures year after year, brings us immense warmth and inspiration. It also deeply validates Depai's original aspiration to build its reputation on honesty and achieve long-term success through quality. This has long been seen by the world and witnessed by time. As time passes, the torch is passed down from generation to generation. Looking back at the grand ceremony ten years ago, ALESSIA GUARDUCCI's sincere speech still echoes in our ears. Ten years of trust and companionship have etched a warm mark of mutual benefit for us. Over the past ten years, what remains unchanged is our deep commitment to collaborating with peers, and what continues to be passed down from generation to generation is the friendship and trust. Today, this bond that transcends time, this mutual trust, is fully continued. ALESSIA GUARDUCCI, who witnessed our growth back then, has passed on this precious cooperation and career commitment to her son, VICTOR GUARDUCCI. This is not just a simple gathering, but also the most beautiful inheritance and relay! It is a dialogue between old and new times, a continuation of the craftsmanship of two generations, and the longest and most steadfast recognition of Depai by our overseas partners. Next, let's give the warmest applause to welcome VICTOR GUARDUCCI, the son of ALESSIA GUARDUCCI, to take the stage and deliver a speech. Let's welcome him with applause!
This is a famous saying in Italy, especially for those who hoped and believed we would fall and never get back up.
Ten years ago, we were guests here just as we are today: the four of us , the whole Guarducci family, attending the 10th anniversary party.
I remember when my father , Alex, spoke in front of all the guests and shared how he had met three young boys. At the time, I was only 12 years old.
Today , we are those same four people, but with more experience and a few year older. In fact , my sister Alessia and I have now become partners in G&G Textile Agency Srl
Ever since I was a child , I have watched Kevin , Jake and later Amy , come to Italy and work tirelessly along side us .
Together, we have expanded our reach across the entire Italian Market, achieving great satisfaction along the way
We have grown together step by step, and our families- Decai and Guarducci- have come together, building a relationship based on harmony and mutual support.
Standing here today, I want to proudly express my deepest gratitude to Depei , and specially to Kevin. I truly hope you will remain by my side for many years to come, as we look forward to celebrating the 30th anniversary party together.
I would also like to thank the entire Depei Staff for yr constant support.
Kevin , you know that alongside my father, you have played a vital role in my growth, guiding me with your advice and your presence throughout my career path.
