("Perfect Co.") in 1993. Over the years, Perfect Co. has continued to grow and has become a modern enterprise engaging in scientific research, production, sales and services. Making cumulative tax contribution of around RMB38.8 billion, Perfect Co. has become the largest taxpayer in Zhongshan.

In recent years, China Wantian Holdings has actively responded to China's call to improve people's health, embracing green development and adopting a mission to enable thousands of families to eat well every day, and it has worked tirelessly to become a leading lifestyle service provider in China.
Mr. ZHONG Xueyong, the Group's Chief Executive Officer, is a post-1980s generation young entrepreneur, community leader and philanthropist.

The Group will promote environmental education at enterprises and in schools in order to support the sustainable development of the GBA. In the future, leveraging the honours received by Dr. HOOY Kok Wai and Mr. ZHONG Xueyong, China Wantian Holdings will proactively establish a development path for the GBA in line with China's national development plan and net-zero carbon emissions target, with the aim of becoming a leading green enterprise brand in the region.
