2007 was the first full calendar year of the cooperation between Wellhope De Heus.  

2007 is a year that I will forget easily. 2007 was a difficult year because the problems with blue ear diseases in the pigs, bird flue in the poultry the big increase in prices of raw materials that put us under stress to get good results. 

But in contrary to a lot of our competitors, Wellhope was able to survive this year. only survive: we were able to increase our sales volume with around  48.7%. Continuing like this means we are in 2015 the biggest feed producer in the world! Everybody will say that you can count like this. But 5 years ago they told the same Wellhope was able to keep their impressive growth over the last five years. So why for another 5 8 years! It’s a matter of time. 

The first year was for me a year of getting acquainted with Wellhope. I visited almost all our production locations was impressed by the warm reception everywhere. I’m sorry that some of you I  might have forgotten the name as I saw so many new faces got so many name cards. But if we meet for a second time I will remember. 

Being in an office with a couple of persons that are responsible for the Wellhope company is an honour. I experience on first hand their worries, ideas plans which they discuss with me to keep this steady growth our company. I realized last year that they were a lot of time away home what makes it sometimes difficult to find them when there are urgent things to discuss. But it shows the commitment to Wellhope to reach their target growth as just mentioned above. 

The personal highlight for this year were for me the seminars in which I gave a speech. The unbelievable big number of people the great interest in the topics showed to me that our technical staff, salesmen, dealers customers really want to learn to improve. Another highlight was the visit of  the experts of the Heus. Loek de Lange the research department, Fred de Cocq, our pig farm management expert Jan Wijers our pig nutritionist. During these visits a wide variety of things were discussed implemented. One thing in particular I want to mention. With Fred de Cocq we visited our own Wellhope trial farm in Lingyuan. During the ten years that I worked in China I visited a lot of farms. But I have to give a big compliment to Wellhope as this is the best managed farm I have seen in China! All the workers were very interested dedicated very eager to improve!

The worst moment last year was during our visit to Netherland this summer, when Co de Heus give me a phone call telling that Liu Sheng had a fall with a bicycle broke his hip. I felt so sorry for him, staying in a hospital far away his family in a country you do speak the language do know anybody. 

I’m here to answer your questions about pig, poultry cattle farming. I think it would surprise you when I could give an answer on everything. But I’m alone. The Heus can give an answer on every question in these fields as we have almost 100 years experience a lot of experts in very specific fields. I’m looking forward to see your questions.

At this moment I’m still responsible for export of  De Heus products to other South East Asian countries like Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia Thailand. In 2008 some big very interesting Wellhope projects in poultry in pigs will starts which need a lot of time. So to do my job for Wellhope good I will reduce international travels to 1 2 countries thus creating more time for work in China, I will do all my best to start up these projects in a best possible way because a good start is half of the job!

Hope to see you again in the year of the Rat many years more to follow.

[译文] 2007年是必发365集团与De Heus公司正式相助的第一年，也是令我难以忘却的一年。这一年；姆，猪蓝耳病，禽流感以及饲料质料价钱大幅上涨这些问题为我们谋划目的的实现设置了重重障碍。 

可是，相比于其他竞争敌手，必发365不但仅是从攻击和磨练中生涯了下来，我们的销量还取得了48.7%的增添。若是一直坚持这种增添速率，那就意味着到2015年，我们会成为天下最 大的饲料生产商。我知道有人会说不可这样来盘算，5年前也有人这样以为，但必发365却以一连五年的惊人增添速率作废了他们的嫌疑，以是接下来的五年或者八年，必发365仍然充满希望，实现最终目的只是时间问题。 

在这一年中，我对必发365逐渐熟悉与相识，我旅行了险些所有的分公司，他们的盛意接待给我留下了很是深刻的印象。可是由于见到那么多新的面目，收到那么多的手刺，一时间有些人的名字我可能记不得了，对此我深表歉意。若是下次再晤面，我一定会切记。 

与必发365集团的几位高层治理者一起办公我深感幸运。当他们同我讨论集团生长大计的时间，我深深感受到他们对问题的担心，层出不穷的妄想、想法和对事业的责任心。我知道去年他们大部分时间都在外奔忙，不在家人身边，甚至泛起紧迫事务的时间都很难同他们探讨。这些恰恰体现了他们对必发365的事业，对理想目的的追求。 

已往一年中对我小我私家来说较量值得一提的是，我曾在一次钻研会上做了演讲。与会者人数多到令人难以置信，并且他们对钻研课题所体现出的极大兴趣，让我明确感受到了我们的手艺职员、销售职员、经销商和客户对学习、前进和生长事业的盼愿。另外一件主要的事情就是De Heus公司几位专家的来访，研发中心的Loek de Lange，猪场治理专家Fred de Cocq以及猪营养专家Jan Wijers。在他们来访时代，我们就相关事情举行了普遍讨论，并逐一付诸实验。在这里我最想说的一件事是我和Fred de Cocq旅行了我们必发365位于凌源的试验场。我在中国是情了近10年，旅行过很是多的猪场，必发365的猪场是我在中国见过的治理很是好的猪场。每个事情职员都十分热爱自己的事情，尽职尽责，每小我私家都非Ｅ卧盖敖胨⑿。 

去年最糟糕的一件事是在我们去荷兰会见的时间爆发了一个意外。Co de Heus打电话告诉我，刘声先生（必发365集团养猪事业部手艺效劳司理）骑自行车时不小心摔伤了腿。我感应很是遗憾和歉仄，远离家乡，语言欠亨，一小我私家住在异国的医院里忍受病痛的折磨。 

我在这里期待着回覆各人关于猪、家禽以及牛场方面的问题。我想你们可能为我可以回覆每一方面的问题而感应惊讶。事实上我并不是孤军奋战，De Heus可以回覆这些领域的任何问题，由于我们有近100年的行业履历以及各个领域的专家。我很是期待看到你们的问题。 

现在，我仍然在认真De Heus 公司向亚洲西南部国家和地区如越南、台湾、印度尼西亚、菲律宾、马来西亚和泰国的出口事情。2008年，必发365集团关于家禽、种猪的一些需要泯灭大宗时间的大工程将会启动，为了更好地开展这些事情，我会重新安排国际间的出差妄想，争取更多的时间在中国是情，我会尽我最 大的起劲选择最合适的方法启动这些项目，由于优异的起源是乐成的一半。 

希望在鼠年以及以后的每一年都可以见到各人！
