Hello Everyone, A Good day to All!

 

It is a day worth celebrating indeed. We are gathered here under the great efforts of Cathaya and Mr Fei to celebrate the establishment of International Silk Union. I believe we are also here in this special occasion for a special mission. - That is to do something very special for the future of silk.

 

High Fashion Group has dedicated us in the world of silk for 38 years. We have grown this big and gone this far because of being in the right time, at the right place and with the right people. When we say right time, this means High Fashion Group was incorporated in Hong Kong at the time that the economic environment was booming in overseas and growing in China, and we quickly built up our international network and captured the market. Right place – we set foot in Hangzhou 20 years ago, and Hangzhou is still and continues to be the city of silk. Right people – in Eastern China, particularly the culture, the government, and the tourism, the love of silk are inside them. You can imagine that with these right time, right place, and right people, this is undoubtedly the recipe of success.

 

But today we see and can foresee challenges in the Silk industries here in China - One of them is the rising of labor cost, creating tremendous pressure in our production costs in traditional silk manufacturing. The migration of sericulture and manufacturing to the cheaper labor in the west is just temporary painkiller.

 

The challenges faced by China’s Silk industry, shall also be valid to the world. Chinese silk is at the point of game changing. Traditional method needs to be touched up with scientific method. Labor intensive task needs to be industrialized. Industrialized ones further need to be synchronized with automation. Commission servicing must establish customer direct channel. Corporations must be cultivated heritage and be branded. These improvement, innovative, and creative actions shall be taken in utmost urgency.    

 

Every challenge poses an opportunity. The silk industry is facing challenges that means there are lots of opportunities. The Hangzhou government has the determination to facilitate favorable environments and encourage projects that contribute to the silk industry with supportive policies. High Fashion Group will devote our full support to the Hang Zhou government, and as well generate synergies by involving our Hong Kong government, institutes and labs. High Fashion Group will also provide our experience for those who are looking for opportunities in Hangzhou and Eastern China.

 

Today we are here together to form the International Silk Enterprises Promoting Development Union (ISU). We hope that the ISU can coordinate the worldwide resources to the world of silk, and facilitate the exchange of silk culture. We all stand together, united - to create a sustainable development for the world of silk.

 

Last but not least, we are looking forward to seeing you more often in Hangzhou. And we are cordially inviting you to visit our campus here.

 

Thank you all for your very kind attention!
