Yuhong Conference | Uniting Human–Machine Collaboration to Secure Victory in the Race of the Future!

The AI wave is sweeping across all industries, and digital transformation is no longer a matter of choice—it has become an essential imperative for enterprises seeking high‑quality growth.

September 28, All-Staff Meeting of Yuhong Pigment Co.,LTD. It was successfully convened. This conference is themed… “Human–machine collaboration ensures YuHong’s victory.” With the core theme at its heart, this initiative conducts a comprehensive review of the company’s AI strategy, articulating its future core strategies, talent‑development standards, and annual objectives. It accelerates the enterprise’s digital and intelligent transformation, clarifies career pathways for all employees, and lays a solid foundation for the company’s long-term growth.

01 Why is a pigment factory determined to embrace AI?

Let’s rewind to 2023. That year, Yuhong Pigments officially entered the artificial intelligence arena, embarking on a journey of intelligent‑technology exploration. For a manufacturing company that has been deeply rooted in organic pigments for more than two decades, this decision was far from ordinary.

The pigment industry is a traditional sector. Its core competitive edge lies in formulation, manufacturing processes, and color stability—driven by the seasoned expertise of master craftsmen and the cumulative data amassed over generations. Yet even within this seemingly conventional landscape, Yuhong has identified new possibilities: if experience can be systematically distilled, systematically learned, and repeatedly applied, the boundaries of that experience can be expanded without limit.

In 2025, Yuhong has designated the year as the “Year of Mastering Dr. Jin.” Dr. Jin is not a person but rather the affectionate name Yuhong has given to its AI. At a company-wide meeting, the chairman used two mathematical formulas as metaphors: 1.01 raised to the 365th power equals approximately 37.8, while 0.99 raised to the 365th power equals roughly 0.03. If you strive to improve just a little each day, after a year you’ll have grown 37.8-fold; if you slack off even slightly every day, by year’s end you’ll be left with only 0.03.

This analogy has been remembered—and validated—by the people at Yuhong. AI is not a rival that replaces employees; rather, it’s Dr. Jin, helping each employee improve by 0.01 percent every day.

In 2026, Yuhong will further focus on deepening the operation of digital assets, elevating AI applications from “being able to use” to “using effectively,” and ensuring that intelligent technologies are seamlessly integrated into the daily workflows of every role.

Three stages over three years: exploration in 2023, refined application in 2025, and deep cultivation in 2026. By 2027, Yuhong aims to deliver on its commitments.

02 In human–machine collaboration, what exactly is “human”?

At the meeting, Chairman Chen of Yuhong repeatedly emphasized one point: all Yuhong employees must become “smart” workers. This raises the question: what kind of employee can truly be called “smart”?

Yu Hong’s answer is the Five Minerals and Five Powers.

The so‑called “Five Minerals” views life and work as a rich mine that can be continuously mined, broken down into five dimensions:

The Heart Mine is the soul—grounding us in integrity, forging resilience, and nurturing a mindset of mutual thriving; it is the foundation for unlocking our full potential. The Cognitive Mine is the wings—shaping the breadth of our vision and the scope of our practice, and serving as the key to breaking through growth bottlenecks. The Dream Mine is the torch—connecting individual aspirations with corporate visions, guiding our direction and rallying collective momentum. The Dr. Gold Mine is the tool—empowering expertise through technology, turning AI into an instrument for everyone. And the Action Mine is the path—transforming ideas into deeds, ensuring that every ounce of effort yields tangible results.

If Wukang represents the mining sector, then the “Five Powers” embody the capabilities of mining: learning ability, innovation, accountability, critical thinking, and sound judgment.

Five types of mines, five kinds of capabilities. The mine defines the direction, while the capability provides the means; the mine is the foundation, and the capability is the engine. Only when the two are combined does it form a complete profile of the intelligent employee.

What makes this definition most compelling is that it doesn’t reduce the concept of a “smart employee” to an empty slogan; instead, it breaks it down into concrete benchmarks that everyone can use as a reference, self-assess against, and build upon.

03 What is a “machine”? Every role should have its own intelligent agent.

Now that we’ve clarified the human side, what about the machine side? Chairman Chen’s answer is more down-to-earth than many companies’: at Yuhong, every role must have its own intelligent agent.

Management agents, R&D agents, marketing agents, security agents… It is not a lofty, top-down technological system; rather, it brings AI down to every specific role, making it the most knowledgeable assistant for employees in that position.

In other words, human–AI collaboration isn’t about elevating AI to a position of superiority; it’s about making AI the most capable partner by humanity’s side. Intelligent agents take over repetitive, retrieval‑based, and organizational tasks, freeing people from mundane chores so they can focus on work that truly demands judgment, creativity, and responsibility—precisely the domains where the Five Forces shine.

This, precisely, is the brilliance of human–AI collaboration: the stronger humans’ capabilities, the greater the room for AI to shine; and the more capable AI becomes, the more human value is brought into sharp relief. The two are not a zero-sum game—they amplify each other.

04 How to cultivate AI‑powered employees? The answer lies in the employees themselves.

At the meeting, Chairman Chen raised a pivotal question: How can we cultivate AI‑powered employees? Rather than offering a straightforward answer, he passed the floor to the staff.

This is a genuine sharing of experiences. Employees from diverse roles at Yuhong have recounted their firsthand experiences applying Dr. Jin’s tools to their work—some use them to organize vast amounts of information, condensing searches that once took an entire day into just a few minutes; others turn to them for expert guidance, expanding the boundaries of their understanding with each conversation; and still others treat them as partners in the “three‑question” approach, clarifying and reflecting thoroughly before taking action, then making informed decisions.

These stories may lack grand narratives, yet they are all the more compelling. For they demonstrate one crucial truth: human‑machine collaboration isn’t achieved through lofty meetings and slogans—it emerges, step by step, as employees put it into practice at their posts.

The starting point for cultivating intelligent‑agent employees is not waiting for the company to equip them with the right tools; rather, each employee must first become a smart worker themselves. Only by building a solid foundation of the “Five Minerals, Five Powers” can we ensure that Dr. Jin and job‑specific intelligent agents truly take root in our own hands.

05 When the broader environment is unfavorable, Yuhong must forge its own path.

At present, the industry’s market environment is complex and volatile, with businesses across all sectors confronting numerous challenges.

In the face of mounting pressures and challenges in the broader environment, the Chairman made a resolute statement at the conference: The more we face headwinds, the more we must forge ahead; the more we tackle tough challenges, the more we must stand united.

Looking ahead, Yuhong Pigments will remain true to its original aspirations, deepen its commitment to the real economy, and… Human–machine collaboration With core strategy and intelligent transformation as its driving force, the company has united all YuHong employees in focused collaboration, committed to diligent execution and breakthrough innovation, enabling it to break through against industry headwinds and steadily forge a new path of high‑quality, sustainable development.

Human–machine symbiosis, intelligence unlocks the future; united in purpose and strength, Yuhong will surely prevail!
