To dealers, suppliers.

Hu Jingwen believes that with the development of the lighting industry, the attributes of its circulation industry are increasingly prominent, and the competition among industry brands is the contest of supply, manufacturing, marketing and service of the entire value chain system. Under this new competitive landscape, it is especially important for Sidon's future sustainable operation to create a new type of high-quality Xidun lighting enterprise's overall value chain.
To this end, in the process of business operation, Sidon Lighting puts the interests of employees, the interests of dealers and distributors, and the interests of suppliers in the highest interests of business operations, advocates breathing, sharing fate, spreading and building common brands. , career platform.

Sidon's specialty store, Sidon Lighting, regards the overall competitiveness of the supplier team as an important support point for the company to achieve production and sales scale and profitability in the future. In 2007, Sidon Lighting set out to develop a strategic partner team for Sidon Lighting Suppliers and achieved good results. Under the premise of ensuring financial integrity, Xidun Lighting will send people to the factory to provide equipment, technology and information consultation to help suppliers improve management, optimize technology, improve quality, increase production capacity and profitability, and ensure suppliers. The overall stability of the team enhances the strategic mutual trust between Seaton and the supplier team.

Sidon's specialty store, Sidon Lighting, uses a regional exclusive agency system to expand its channel network. Fully trust and encourage the dealers, supplement the dealers' initial store investment with actual funds, give free sample packages, standardize the company's overall VI system and store image decoration, support the dealers' commercial advertisements, and expand the mass brand communication in a timely manner. Hu Jingwen said: "As long as the dealers agree with Sidon's culture and are willing to grow with us, the strength is almost irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you are unfamiliar with the products. Sidon will try to help each dealer and Sidon grow together." According to the situation of dealers nationwide, the business school organizes a series of training courses for dealers, store managers, lighting designers, and learn with dealers to create a professional commercial lighting service team. For the unsalable and old energy-saving lamps with a value of 3 million yuan retained in the market, in October 2007, Sidon all recalled all the funds and completely solved the problems left by the market. "In the lighting industry, Sidon is very promising, and it is a potential stock, so many dealers choose to do Sidon," said Wu Cheng, general manager of Hubei Minghua Lighting. Sidon emphasizes that the first-line personnel in the market use the full enthusiasm to serve the market terminal.

At present, there are more than 300 specialty stores in the national market and more than 300 distribution outlets.

Talents are the key to the development of lighting industry enterprises. Seaton Lighting continues to improve the corporate environment, disseminate corporate vision and ideas, and attract and broadly recruit talent.

Hu Jingwen has a habit. At the company public meeting, he always introduces the company management team to the participants. He said that this is a moment he is proud of.

■ Based on customer needs As we all know, the lighting store model and hidden channel theory established in the early days of NVC have contributed to NVC's entrepreneurial success and rapid development. Nearly 10 years have passed, the macro-society and economic environment have changed, and the difficulty in the business environment and entrepreneurial success is far from being the day. For the current Sidon enterprise management, when talking about the company's guiding ideology, Hu Jingwen summarized it as “the basis for the final application of customer needs”.
Traditional lighting companies focus on distributors and hidden channel direct customers. Sidon Lighting further extends the focus of business operations, starting from the end customer demand, and launching product development, quality control and marketing development around the origin of the final application customer needs. , lighting design and ancillary services.
With the improvement of people's living standards and the change of consumer attitudes, people are paying more and more attention to the comfortable light environment and pursuing the aesthetic taste of light. The light environment has become the direction of lighting enterprise R&D and service. When most industry companies outsource their products to OEMs, Sidon Lighting chose to keep abreast of product development and independent production rights. In October 2007, after being approved by the German government and registered in Grafetter, Germany, CDN Lighting Lab GmbH, located in Hamburg, Germany, was officially established. It will fully absorb the professional, rigorous and atmospheric design of German lamps. The concept plays an important role in the international design direction and new technology of the input products of Sidon China market.
Today, with large-scale operation becoming the dominant direction of the lighting industry, Sidon strives to seek breakthroughs in market segments. In order to quickly meet the market sample and personalized customization, Sidon purchased more than 20 Italian automatic CNC punching machines, wire cutting and other equipment, rapid prototyping, sample development and sample delivery in 3 days, Hu Jingwen said, 07 When participating in the bidding for the Shanghai Mizuno lighting project in the year, the lamps provided by the previous companies could not meet the design requirements well. The other party heard that Sidon was good, but the invitation was only three days. The company sent a research and development director to Shanghai to communicate with customers about the selection of lamps, draw sketches, set plans, and then go to the samples. It took only 2 days to complete, and sent people to Kunshan to send samples overnight, participating in high-level products of customers. When the argument was made, the other party could hardly believe that this was true.
At present, Sidon has a total of 28 patent certificates, passed the national energy-saving certification, international standards certification, barcode certification, and obtained 3C certification, CQC certificate, and the certificate covers Sidon's full range of products.

â– Professional stealing opportunities In recent years, with the increase of domestic infrastructure construction projects, the popularization of urban lighting projects and the vigorous development of commercial space, the market demand for lighting products has increased significantly year by year. This also directly caused many lighting companies to compete in the scale of competition, compete for diversified operations, compete for growth rate, and compete for capital operation.
"We don't engage in simple scale pursuit, we want core technology and core competitiveness." Sidon Lighting emphasizes the specialization of the industry, along the professionalization of the three areas of office, hotel, and store lighting, and unbiased, set up the Sidon Lighting The "professional" image forms its own unique advantages and strives to seize the opportunity in a new round of change.
Chen Xiao, general manager of Guangzhou Huguang Co., Ltd., strongly supports Sidon’s product strategy and positioning. He believes that the lighting industry is now homogenizing products, homogenizing marketing models, and even brand identity is homogenized, without professional direction and service. The concept is difficult to break through.
Professionalism means high standards. In 2007, Sidon launched dozens of patented metal halide lamps, patented grille aluminum cup light sources, international standard metal halide light sources, deep-buried edgeless and narrow-edge grille spotlights, and high-altitude anti-glare downlights. Sidon has been at the forefront of product development in the commercial lighting industry and has formed a complete product line that covers all categories of commercial photos.
In the brand communication, Seaton Lighting has infiltrated the concepts of “professional lighting consultants”, “in the light world, we know more” and “feel professional lighting”.
With the improvement of professional image and professional service support, Sidon Lighting successfully won the bid for a series of large-scale projects including the Office of the Ministry of Construction, the Office Building of Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress, the 3,500-mu new campus of Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, and the Anhui Medical University School District. Brand chain.
â–  Responsibility to enhance the image to enhance corporate image, Sidon Lighting is more effective in fulfilling corporate citizenship behavior.

The vitality of the staff of Sidon Lighting Sichuan Disaster Relief Volunteer Team is the foundation of enterprise development. Xidun Lighting constantly improves the welfare of employees, free accommodation, employee social security, welfare activities, and it is rare for many companies to recruit people. Today, Xidun Lighting has successfully recruited the factory door in Dongjiang Industrial Zone in Huizhou, Huizhou to meet the needs of employment.

In September 2007, the mother of an ordinary female college student in Huizhou was suffering from leukemia without money. Sidon Company contacted her and donated 67,000 yuan without any active propaganda. For this unnamed donation, after a few months, Hu Jingwen still said that today I am doing Sidon. What I want to do with Du is to build a company. People here know lighting and love life, and they are willing to study for a long time. Lighting and lighting, to enhance their true ability to create the core competitiveness of our own commercial lighting industry, instead of shouting slogans and making great leap forwards all day, we donate low-key, just to train every employee of Sidon Social responsibility.

Under the clear target and strong execution conditions, any goal of the enterprise will be realized. Sidon has its own mission. - That is to become the most professional commercial lighting service system in China and the world. Sidon will surpass the traditional way of thinking, transcend the traditional growth model, and surpass all kinds of false propositions that bind individual creativity!
