On January 20, Zhu Kebing, Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group, Director, and General Manager of China Minmetals, visited Shenzhen to conduct research at Minmetals Securities and Minmetals Futures, and to extend greetings to the officials and employees.

Zhu Kebing listened to reports from the two companies regarding their work in serving China Minmetals' strategy, distinctive operational development, and the formulation of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and he affirmed the achievements made by both companies in focusing on industrial finance transformation in recent years. He pointed out that it is necessary to closely follow the spirit of China Minmetals' annual work meeting, the master plan for the "15th Five-Year Plan," and the six major industrial plans. The companies should base their actions on China Minmetals' strategic positioning as the "National Team for Resource Guarantee and Main Force for 'Two-New' Services," effectively manage the formulation of their own "15th Five-Year Plan," give full play to the advantages of resource endowments, and ensure the efficient implementation of China Minmetals' strategic deployments.

Zhu Kebing emphasized that it is necessary to identify the right positioning and elevate one's perspective to fully integrate into China Minmetals' overall development goal of "building a world-class metal and mineral enterprise group with global competitiveness." The entities must anchor themselves to the "One Core, Two Chains, One Support" industrial blueprint, continuously enhance the core function of "guaranteeing the supply and security of national metal and mineral resources," and improve the core competitiveness of "integrated high-level development across the entire industrial chain." They should serve as a strategic extension think tank for China Minmetals, conduct precise and in-depth industrial research, utilize industrial development policies, stabilize business development directions, and provide strategic and tactical support for the development layout of China Minmetals' industrial chain. The company must enhance it professional capabilities to empower industrial development. Investment research services should move beyond a simple transaction perspective and transition toward professional, forward-looking, and high-quality directions, upgrading toward "distinctive features" while maintaining stability to help industrial units identify problems earlier and gain insight into development opportunities. Furthermore, they must balance the relationship between functionality and profitability, serving both to improve China Minmetals' asset allocation efficiency and to accelerate their own transformation, thereby enhancing professional capabilities and value while focusing on improving profitability levels. The companies must coordinate development and safety, strengthen risk prevention and control, firmly hold the bottom line of risks, and inject strong financial momentum into the high-quality development of China Minmetals.

Heads of relevant departments of China Minmetals accompanied the research visit.
