DragonGroup has just celebrated its 30th anniversary (1991 – 2021). During 3 decades of construction and growth, the Company has achieved many important achievements and made positive contributions to the socio-economic development of Thai Binh province. From what foundation are these achievements built by DragonGroup, sir?

After 30 years of establishment, from a factory with only 50 workers producing and trading jute rugs for export, DragonGroup has developed into a solid multi-industry corporation, developing on 3 core pillars: industry, real estate construction and trade services.
In the industrial sector, DragonGroup owns 3 modern technology export garment factories, 34 satellite garment manufacturing units; creating stable jobs, increasing income for thousands of employees. The Company’s textile products have gradually explored and conquered difficult markets such as Canada, the US, and the UK, making DragonGroup a prestigious brand in textiles and garments for export.

Regarding real estate construction, DragonGroup is a pioneer real estate developer in Thai Binh with the Thai Binh Dragon City Complex Urban Area Project at the northwest gateway of Ho Chi Minh City. Thai Binh, is investing in the complex and ecological urban area DragonHomes Eco City. From this fulcrum, the Group continues to develop a number of large-scale real estate projects in Quang Ninh, Lao Cai, Vinh Phuc, and Ha Tinh and will launch in the shortest time.

In trade and service, VinFast Thang Long (belonging to DragonGroup) has invested in building VinFast auto trade and service complex at Ky Dong Avenue (Thai Binh City) on an area of ​​more than 4,000 m2. The complex is designed according to a modern model, full of utilities: VinFast 3S car dealer, mini supermarket, gas station, service…

Along with that, the dealer of smart electric motorbikes in Ho Chi Minh City. Thai Binh of DragonGroup is an authorized dealer with the largest scale and fastest completion speed in the VinFast authorized dealer system, fully meeting the brand’s standards. In addition, DragonGroup also owns the transport brand 17 Plus with 17 Plus Taxi services, 17 Plus Limo, using VinFast Fadil cars as means of transportation.

Compared with many businesses of the same time, DragonGroup is considered as a dynamic, creative model, constantly innovating strongly to develop in the direction of multi-industry. What motivates the Company to take these bold, but also risky, and challenging steps?

I want to emphasize that, with DragonGroup, the achievements achieved in the past time are just the beginning of the journey to reach the big sea and become a leading multi-industry economic group. Each step forward, each transformation of the Company is associated with the common goal of serving the community, for the society, contributing to the creation of products of high value, utilities to serve the society, creating more jobs and improving the quality of life. increase income for employees, and at the same time demonstrate the responsibility of enterprises in social security activities.

In order to realize the set goals and strategies, one of the prerequisites and also the identity of DragonGroup is always innovating, pioneering, exploring, from exporting garment factories that laid the first brick. building Thai Binh textile industry, to pioneering the deployment of complex urban areas, synchronous utilities. DragonGroup is also a pioneer enterprise that cooperates with Vingroup to promote and supply VinFast cars and electric motorbikes to Thai Binh people and the region.

Taking risks is an integral part of business. With the bravery of a pioneer, DragonGroup is not afraid of risks and challenges, but on the contrary, is always ready to innovate to bring real value and new experiences to customers.

In order to assert a firm position in the market today, surely, the driver of the “boat” DragonGroup has experienced many arduous journeys. As a “descendant” generation, step by step assigned responsibility, how do you feel?

My mother was an energetic youth union secretary, daring to think and dare to do. When the country entered the renew period, from a promising party secretary, she suddenly turned to business. She once told me that, at that time, “standing between two streams”, one side was ideal, the other side was “rice, shirt, rice, money”…, she chose the business path, not only with hope want to develop the economy to save the family’s hardship, but also because of the urge to enrich the homeland and help the local people escape poverty.

Entrepreneurship is never an easy journey, especially for women. The market is turbulent. Facing many difficulties, challenges, many sleepless nights, but my mother is still firm, steadfast, determined to realize her big dream.
From the initial small scale, she has strived to steer and expand the fields of operation and investment portfolio, bringing DragonGroup to the achievements it is today.

My father is a wonderful man, always standing by, encouraging and sharing with his life partner during the past journey. My mother always said that, without my father, without a family, perhaps, her big dreams could not have come true.

The traditional cradle of the family has nurtured, forged, and forged us into adulthood. My brother and I – Nguyen Vu Hoang Long (currently Assistant Chairman of the Board of Directors of DragonGroup) are fortunate to inherit the quality, spirit and iron will to face challenges and difficulties from our parents.

After studying and researching abroad, we returned and worked in the family business, continued to learn, strive and gradually were trusted to be in charge of a part of the Company’s work. We always keep in mind that we must preserve and further promote the values ​​​​that grandparents and parents have built, contributing to making DragonGroup not only grow stronger, but also develop sustainably, contribute more and more to the community. homeland.

From the solid foundation that DragonGroup has built, what basic lessons can the young generation following in his father’s career draw to continue to bring the business to sustainable development?

First, we must take “people are the source of strength”, build a team of consensus, effort and enthusiasm for work. DragonGroup believes that all employees are elite talents with high discipline and ability to bring the best products and services, and contribute to society.

Secondly, always pioneering, making the impossible possible, ready to mobilize all resources to invest in ambitious fields and projects with the goal of holding a leading position in the market, even in the case is the “follower”.
Third, go to the end in every commitment. Reputation is always the most valuable asset of an enterprise, DragonGroup always prepares full execution capacity and makes every effort to ensure the commitments.
Fourth, never be content, continuously make efforts, innovate and adapt to achieve bigger goals, become a leading enterprise.

Fifth, focus on speed, detail and stability. Along with that, DragonGroup always attaches great importance to its responsibility to the community, society and the environment, always striving to become a lasting business that is trusted by the social community.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc once said: “Only the success of the business community can bring prosperity to the country and realize the nation’s desire for prosperity”. On the eve of the New Year of the Ox – the opening year of a challenging decade, but also a golden opportunity for DragonGroup to strive to become a leading multi-industry economic group, he can share the action message of DragonGoup for everyone. new path?

DragonGroup doesn’t just build buildings, we build hopes. DragonGroup officials and employees have the right to hope for a full and prosperous life. Thai Binh people like other provinces and cities have the right to hope for a life catching up with the new era.

Above all, we have a big dream, which is to bring a complete ecosystem to the people. That dream has followed DragonGroup people for 30 years and will still lead us to new lands.

“Prestige is an asset – Discipline is strength” – that has always been the guideline for DragonGroup to transmit the fire of enthusiasm through generations. The past 30 years have been a journey of aspiration and pioneering footsteps. In the next 30 years, DragonGroup will keep the flame to continue conquering higher and further “mountains”. That mission belongs to the young people, our generation of young entrepreneurs.
