China Heavy Machinery Industry Business Net ("CHMBNET") (http://www.chmbnet.com) is the only large scale authoritative industry Website jointly initiated and organized by China Heavy Machinery Industry Association, Beijing Info-Engine Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Jianshe Luqiao Machinery Co., Ltd. Over one year's care research, busy preparation and intensive construction has paid off and our, CHMBNET has at last commenced its operation officially today! First of all, I would like to avail myself of this oppommity on behalf of China Heavy Machinery Industry Association to express our warm and sincere congratulations on its successful establishment! The commencement of the operation of CHMBNET marks that China heavy machinery industry is about to enter into an e-commerce age! Its commencement of operation shall help eliminate outsiders` prejudice that the e-commerce of heavy machinery industry develops  slowly!Its commencement of the network operation has enablled heavy machinery industrial enterprises to get rid of an awkward situation in which it has to compete on the same website with small articles of everyday use, which are totally different and irrelevant with heavy machinery industry! Its commencement of operation shall arm heavy machinery industry with the "wings" of information, and inject the enterprises with the vitality of new ecomomy!

We construct and care about CHMBNET for several important reasons: For one thing, traditional industries start to contact the e-commerce actively. Demands grow out of the heavy machinery industry itself (there have been over 550 online enterprises). This helps to solve such problems as out-of-date information, high cost of circulation and poor transparency of heavy machinery industry. For another thing, network technology can meet the requirements of traditional industries: new method of transaction, and the reduction of production cost and transaction cost. E-commerce leads information network into the interior of the enterprise itself and promotes the construction of the information network of the enterprises. As a result, the incorporation of e-commerce with the traditional industries will promote and push the development of enterprises and the industries.

The construction of CHMBNET embodies the advanced, open and scientific characteristics of the Website. The columns of the Website all center on the three basic demands that enterprises cherish to possess: "market, technology and capital". CHMBNET links enterprises and customers both at home and abroad and extends in all directions. Through the in-depth information services and the match of trade via the Website, CHMBNET provides a transaction platform for enterprises and their customers, which reduces the production, operation and transaction costs for both sides, resulting in the increase of efficiency of enterprises.

Finally, what I most desire to advocate and suggest to each member of the executive council, each ordinary member and leaders of affiliate enterprises of China Heavy Machinery Industry Association is that you should give great support to and take an active part in helping enterprises to go online and make full use of CHMBNET to promote the development of your enterprises. Enterprises of China heavy machinery industry, let's join our hands together! Revitalize the economy of our heavy industry! Realize the second leap forward! I am full of confidence that the tomorrow of CHMBNET shall be more beautiful and so is the tomorrow of China heavy machinery industry!
