Stay safe, stay strong.
As the year 2020 draws to a close, the COVID-19 pandemic brought major changes in our lives and work. For example, we began focusing on improving our immune systems, changing our behavior in public places, focusing on happy work, and focusing more on introspection, just to name a few. Everything seems to have been affected by the pandemic.
Early this year, we couldn’t visit dairy farms, but the Chinese team responded quickly. With the help of live online platform for interaction with the dealers and farm customers, we ensured the continuous information flow of Afimilk. We tried everything possible to meet our customers’ satisfaction and develop more market opportunities. We planned so many online activities like product/ service training technology, remote support/ industry information, and interactive share/ products promotion.

Afimilk Chinese team took calculated risks to visit farms to focus on projects that required on-site support. In the second half of 2020, the pandemic situation in China was relatively well controlled. The Chinese team actively seized the market opportunity and went to important business areas to participate in dairy industry conferences, exhibitions, to promote the company’s new products and latest business solutions to customers.

In such a difficult external environment, the Chinese team made joint efforts, forged ahead hand in hand, dedicated their strength in their own positions, and ultimately achieved the exciting sales performance in 2020.

2020 is an unforgettable year for people all over the world, and also an unforgettable year for the Afimilk Chinese team. We focused on the core competitiveness and grew against the trend, with effort and dedication from every team member. Thanks! Xi Yuan!

The year 2020 is a very extraordinary year. Rolex, Channel and Hermes have all announced to stop production, Victoria’s Secret has gone bankrupt, Starbucks has permanently closed 400 chain stores, 100,000 companies have gone out of business, and 780 million people are in debt. However, Afimilk China is still growing at a positive rate. Thank your boss for putting up with all the stress and carrying the load for everyone.
2020年是极不平凡的一年，劳力士，香奈儿，爱马仕全部宣布停产，维密破产，星巴克永久关闭400家连锁门店，十万家公司倒闭，7.8亿人负债，而阿菲金中国依然保持正增长，感谢老板抗下了所有的压力，为大家负重前行。

Three years is like a fleeting show.
Afimilk is like a stone bridge, subjected to all the wind and rain, still supporting us to move forward. I would like to turn into spring mud, walk hand in hand with the team year after year.
白驹过隙，转眼三年。
公司如石桥，受尽风吹雨打，撑我们前行。
我愿化作春泥，守护团队年年岁岁。

In 2020, I almost visited one customer every day. The drowsy stars cannot stop me from my work journey. Sometimes I could not even remember clearly where I am and the date of my business trip. After shaking off the dust of last city, I continued to travel to another stop. I would rather endure loneliness and loneliness for the same goal that we’re heading for.
睡意朦胧的星辰，阻挡不了我行程。
多日出差不知身在何处，为了理想我宁愿忍受寂寞，饮尽那份孤独，
抖落异地的尘土，踏上遥远的路途
2020年，过一日，走一城。
——秦林 Qin Lin
In April 2020, I began to resume my work and go on business trips. From solving technical problems for dealers to installing the first set of Blom bail rotary, I overcame many difficulties and kept growing. Thanks for the support from Afimilk, which made me feel wonderful!
2020四月开始恢复工作出差，从解决代理商的技术难题，到首套Blom 80位转台的安装，克服重重困难，不断成长，感谢阿菲金的舞台，让我舞出精彩!

In 2020, this epidemic has inspired us to move forward for love. Live for love, because of my family; Work for love, because the company has a bunch of smart people. Love makes us passionate. Love makes us optimistic.
2020年这一场疫情深深感悟，为爱前行。为爱生活，因为家有妻儿老小，为爱工作，因为公司有俊男靓女，有一群智慧的人。爱使我们激情澎湃，爱使我们乐观向上。

Working with cattlemen, running here and there; speaking about cows, from north to south; Travelling ten of thousands of miles to attract customers, training, lectures, explore new ideas. I am grateful to my family for their understanding and help from colleagues. On the way back to home, on the road, learning is everywhere. I feel the sunrise, sunset and starry sky. To 2020, a year which is even busier because of the epidemic.
与牛人走牛途，东奔西走
会牛友论奶牛，南来北往
行万里路悦众客户
培训，讲课，探讨新思路
感恩家人理解同事相助
在家，在路，在学在感悟
日出日落夕阳星空
忙忙碌碌，忙碌忙碌
——-致这个因为疫情而更加忙碌的2020
