I joined Lee Kum Kee in 2001. Over the years, with the help of my supervisors and colleagues, I have advanced from an Accountant to become a Finance Manager to lead a team.
My connection with Lee Kum Kee originated from Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster Sauce. Many years ago, oyster sauce was not available in my hometown. One day, my brother brought a bottle of Premium Oyster Sauce from Guangzhou. I tried it and it was so tasty that the brand “Lee Kum Kee” lingered in my mind. Later, I came across Lee Kum Kee when I was looking for a job. Although I was not familiar with the brand at that time, I really wanted to join this Company, which produced tasty products like Premium Oyster Sauce.
Our Company adheres to its quality management philosophy of “100-1=0”, giving its products quality assurance that is well-known to every household. Whenever I tell others that I work at Lee Kum Kee, they will always say, “I know about Lee Kum Kee! My family uses its sauces.” Every time when I hear that, I feel very proud.
Throughout my career, the most unforgettable experience was handling tax-related tasks. I will never forget how thrilled I was when I first received an A-Class Taxpayer plaque from the State Administration of Taxation of the People’s Republic of China. At that time, our Company was a prominent A-class taxpayer in Guangzhou Development Zone. It not only represented an honor, but also demonstrated the Company’s virtue of legal compliance. As an Accountant handling the Company’s tax affairs, I have gained a thorough understanding of our corporate culture of “Pragmatism” and “Integrity”.
In 2018, I participated in the Groundbreaking Ceremony of South China Sales Headquarters of Lee Kum Kee Sauce Group at Guangzhou South Railway Station commercial hub. Aside from foreseeing a better future work environment, I was proud to witness the Company’s progressive development.
If I need to describe my work using a company product, I would choose Salt Reduced Seasoned Soy Sauce, one of the soy sauces launched in response to our consumers’ health consciousness. Same as this product, our Accounts and Finance Team not only needs to serve different internal functions and customers, but also needs to equip ourselves with the latest national accounting system, changing tax regulations and customers’ needs. In the future, I will keep learning to better equip myself to catch up with the pace of the team and Company, as well as striving ahead for being a role model for my fellow colleagues.
