Tradelink Electronic Commerce Limited
Annual Report 2017
Chairman’s Statement

主席報告書

Acknowledgement
Tradelink was established 30 years ago in 1988. As we celebrate our
30th anniversary in 2018, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to
all who have helped us in our journey to this historic moment, including
our shareholders, customers, partners, and last but not least, my fellow
Board members and staff members.
When we were first set up, our objective was to promote the use of
e-Commerce to facilitate Hong Kong’s external trade sector. Over the
years, while remained true to this task, we have diversified our business
to other areas beyond the trade sector. In 2017, we have revitalized a
new mission statement: “To empower our clients with business enabled
e-solutions for their commercial and financial activities”. Along this
framework, we have devised a three-pillar strategy to guide the business
direction and activities of the company. Pillar-1 is our GETS business
which is a mature business generating stable and sizeable revenue to
support, amongst other things, new initiatives development. Pillar-2 are
our Commercial Services and Security Solutions business which are
growing business and hopefully growth drivers for the company. Pillar-3
is our new initiatives (in this case would include the Smart PoS business
and the new venture under the Commercial Services segment) for which
revenue might be uncertain and unstable but potentially seeds for future
growth. We shall strive to achieve continuous growth for Pillar-2 and to
invest to learn so as to get return for our Pillar-3. With these three
pillars, we hope we shall sustain a heathy and continuous growth of our
business in the short to medium term.
Finally, before closing, I would like to thank my fellow Board members
for their continued support and all my staff for their hard work in the
past year.

致意
貿易通三十年前於一九八八年成立。於二零一八
年，在慶祝創立三十週年邁向新里程的重要時
刻，本人由衷感謝所有多年來給予我們支持的人
士，包括股東、客戶、合作夥伴，以及各位董事
會成員及員工。
在成立之初，我們的目標是提倡使用電子商貿，
促進香港外貿行業。這些年來，我們堅守此任
務，並將業務拓展至貿易業以外的其他領域作多
樣發展。於二零一七年，我們更新我們的經營理
念：「貿易通專業電子方案，成就客戶商業及金融
業務」。根據此框架，我們制定三大支柱策略，引
領本公司之業務方向及活動。支柱一為
GETS
業
務，該業務發展成熟，產生穩定豐厚收益，支持
（其中包括）新舉措發展。支柱二為商業服務及保
安方案業務，該兩個業務在增長過程中，期望能
成為本公司之增長動力。支柱三為新舉措（在此
情況包括智能銷售點業務及商業服務分部旗下之
新業務），雖然這些業務的收益可能無法確定且
不穩定，但能為未來潛在增長播下種子。我們會
竭力讓支柱二達致持續增長，並為支柱三以投資
作為經驗學習，賺取回報。憑藉此等支柱，希望
我們的業務可於短中期內延續穩健持久增長。
最後，在本報告完結前，本人謹此感謝過去一年
董事會成員之鼎力支持和全體員工之竭誠付出。
