Yesterday was 5.20, May the 20th. It may be a normal day for you, but to Chinese, it’s a love-theme day. This date is another Valentine’s Day holiday in China. That’s because, it may sound funny, ‘520’ sounds phonetically very close to“I Love You”, or“Wo Ai Ni”in Chinese. In that way, though it’s not official holiday, many people, especially couples, would celebrate the day. And as the concept prevails, more people join the group celebrating love--more than just the love between couples. Dervos, a work team full of love, also managed an activity to mark the day. Our administrative assistant Linda is so ingenious that she prepared such exquisite snacks, and the heart-shaped watermelon and colourful melon balls that won wow from everyone are too adorable to bite. Except delicious snacks, we also had a special game. In a little scrap of paper, every Dervos staff wrote down some words that say love, thanks or best wishes to someone anonymously, then put these scraps together and mixed up. Everyone of us took out one piece and read the words on the scrap to the recipient for the anonymous someone. It was a so moving scene that someone turned red when his or her paper was read and was recognized and someone had to say thank you to everyone because he or she don’t don’t who wrote it. Dervos believes love and is brave enough to express it out as loving someone and being loved both make us stronger. If you didn’t do things like us in 520, you could do it now. Never mind, it’s never to late to say 520.

XIAMEN DERVOS VALVES INDUSTRY CO., LTD officially went public on Xiamen cross-straits equity exchange on 23rd September 2019(stock code 861601) and increased 381,508 shares of registered capital. This move marks that Dervos landed in the so-called ‘the new four board’ and we will take advantage of the power of capital, ashing a new landscape in the face of opportunities and challenges.Responding to the national strategy to build a multilevel capital market, Dervos hopes to resort to the enterprise standard management, listing guidance and other one-stop professional services offered by the institution, paving path for our further development in a larger market. Xiamen cross-strait equity exchange is a special institution established with the approval of Xiamen municipal people's government, aiming at building a multi-level capital market system and promoting the construction of the financial factor market of ‘cross-strait regional financial service center’ of Xiamen special economic zone.

Last Saturday, Dervos had its first team building activity of this year, which was late for almost three months due to the pandemic. Thank to the efforts of all walks of society, our life is gradually getting back on track. As recreational facilities re-opened, we decided to go sporting to build our body health, and the badminton hall opposite to our company seems the best choice. It was a hot day. Even before the game, we’ve already got sweaty in the 5-minute walk to the venue. In the arena, everyone is focusing on the flying badminton, waiting for the next chance to smash rivals. All of us were relishing the beats of running, beating, yelling, as this is the very first time this year for most of us to move our body to the fullest. Dervos members believe the motto--work hard, play hard. Only in that way can we achieve a wonderful balance between work and life. And we also hope the horrible decease end soon, so that everyone in the rest of the world could enjoy the wonderful life.

Though the five-day-long holiday of International worker’s day is drawing near, Dervos people didn’t relax their pace of learning. Dervos held a training course of its new products designed as per API6A, API16A, API 16C on Thursday afternoon, in which we learned and reviewed much professional knowledge about valves and other relevant equipment. Even if China’s epidemic pressure has been significantly relieved, this time we took world-widely popular teaching form--online course, instead of face-to-face teaching, to avoid possible infection. When the course was over, our manager managed our sales to have a departmental meeting, discussing recent work and plans in the future. After the one-half-hour course, we enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon tea which consists of various fresh fruits that are elaborately shaped and two large durian pizzas. And there was a card with “大家辛苦了”，which means ‘Thank you for your endeavor’, on it. At end, we took pictures to celebrate the leisure time and the coming holiday.Smile shines on everyone’s face.

Dervos started a face masks donation plan half months ago and has donated more than 5,000 pieces of mask overseas. Recently, Our recipients gradually received the sought-after protective devices and expressed back their kind and thankful words. “That was sing (song) of kindness and solidarity”, Brunno said. Then the Brazilian man attached a string of red hearts gratefully. Sam Webb, from the UK, wrote in his email: “This will be a massive help and I will not forget it.” Marcos Coello, general manager of a Spanish company, said that: “On my behalf and on behalf of my team, I would like to thank the face masks you sent to us. We highly appreciate it.” Gonzalo Martinez and Jose Fuentes, both located in Spain, have also received our packages. What’s interesting is that Gonzalo Martinez refused our donation with thanks at first. He noted that they were at home as much as possible and said “so we will not be exposed. So please keep them in your facilities in case of something happens in the future.” But when he knew that our packages were on the way, Matinez took our staff’s advice, deciding to send these masks to local hospitals to help those in greater need once upon packages arrive. Coronavirus is threatening the whole world. But it also built a stage to show the strength and solidarity of the human as a community of shared future. Though Dervos is just a valve supplier, but it also concerns the well-being and happiness of everyone and tried to do something helpful. As Jose Fuentes said, “if we all strictly follow the regulations we will be able to slowly isolate the virus.” Please carry on and forge ahead, victory will be ours in the end.

Dervos posted it’s first batch of supplies,of which consists 14 packages, carrying 3200 pieces of disposable medical mask and 500 KN95 masks, to Hungary, Spain,Romania and other 11 countries respectively to help local fight against the rampant novel virus. Dervos itself doesn’t have any ability to produce medical supplies, but inspired by the noble helps from other countries two months ago, we now also want to share the burden over and lend a hand to those in need of these simple protective devices. To do so, we have tried our best to collected a mount of face masks from several qualified producers, then we would like to donate them. As long as you are really in need, please don’t hesitate to contact us via: Noah Luo Tel:   +86-0592-5185602 E-mail: noah@dervosvalve.com We will try to send them to you by post and charge you nothing. In the face of Coronavirus, no one should be left alone. Dervos will be the one backs you, fighting for the silver line behind dark clouds of Covid-19.
