With the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games drawing near, global attention is shifting towards China. Even in Paris, thousands of miles away, the construction of venues for the Paris 2024 Olympics is progressing smoothly. What’s especially notable for people in Jinhua is that Lou Liangjun, the executive chairman of the Jinhua Chamber of Commerce in France, has been actively involved in overseeing three major projects and their associated facilities for the Paris Olympics. These projects include the Olympic Village, the renovation of the Grand Palais, and the Châtillon-Montrouge metro station on Line 15 in the Greater Paris region.

Originally from Dongyang, Lou Liangjun is the chairman of the Dongyang Construction Company in France. Lou is a nationally registered architect in France, a construction engineer, and holds a Master’s in Construction Enterprise Management. Zhang Lei, a member of the Jinhua Municipal Committee and president of the French Jinhua Chamber of Commerce and European Jinhua Federation, praised the achievements. “It’s truly remarkable to see Jinhua’s Dongyang Construction shining on the Olympics and globally. Congratulations!” expressed Zhang.

“In the Paris 2024 Olympic Games venue construction project, Lou Liangjun has been working with companies from France, Portugal, and other places since 2019 to bid for contracts. Eventually, he secured contracts for three major engineering projects, totaling five components: the Olympic Village, the Grand Palais, and the metro station. His primary focus is on waterproofing engineering, outdoor wooden flooring engineering, and various sub-projects involving metal elements. Currently, two contracted projects have been approved,” explained Zhang Lei. Earlier, Lou Liangjun also invited colleagues from the Olympic Village project to provide updates about its progress to the members of the French Jinhua Chamber of Commerce.

“Lou Liangjun has a strong bond with his hometown. When naming his company, he included ‘Dongyang’ in its name to remind himself of his roots. This reminder keeps him dedicated to carrying forward the determined and innovative spirit of Dongyang’s builders, always striving for the best. Lou considers himself a representative for his hometown, working to showcase Dongyang’s architectural excellence not only in France but also throughout Europe,” explained Zhang Lei. In recent years, Lou has also assisted numerous Jinhua locals and overseas Chinese working in France, helping them in establishing their presence in the field of architecture.

As members of the Jinhua French Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Lei and Lou Liangjun expressed their commitment to upholding and advancing the values of Jinhua residents, including a dedication to truth, practicality, integrity, and innovation. They will continue to assist the Jinhua community in France and promote collaborations between overseas Chinese entrepreneurs and Jinhua. While they remain focused on the present, they also look ahead to the future, integrating into local society and constantly striving to elevate their professional careers. Their goal is to establish a stronger platform that facilitates economic and cultural exchanges between China, France, and Europe. (By Ji Junlei)

杭州第19届亚运会日益临近，世界目光开始聚焦中国。

在万里之外的巴黎，2024巴黎奥运会场馆建设也在有条不紊地进行中。让金华人骄傲的是，法国金华商会执行会长楼良军参与并承包、建设3个巴黎奥运会重大工程和配套工程项目，其中包括了奥运村项目、法国巴黎大皇宫改造项目和大巴黎地区15号线沙蒂永—蒙鲁日的火车站项目。

楼良军是东阳籍华人，法国东阳建设公司董事长，法国国家注册建筑师、建筑工程师和施工企业管理硕士。金华市政协委员、法国金华商会会长、欧洲金华联合总会会长张磊发文点赞：“中国金华东阳建设走进奥运，走向世界，可喜可贺！”

“2024巴黎奥运会场馆建设项目，楼良军从2019年便已经和法国、葡萄牙等地公司合作参与投标，最终拿下奥运村、法国巴黎大皇宫、火车站等3个重大工程项目计5个标的，主营业务为建筑防水工程，室外木地板工程和所有的金属铁翼分项工程，目前已有2个合同项目通过验收。”张磊介绍，此前楼良军还邀请奥运村项目的法国同事，专门为法国金华商会部分成员介绍了奥运村的最新进展。

“楼良军是个家乡情结很浓厚的人，他在为公司起名时都特意冠上了‘东阳’二字，就是要时刻提醒自己是东阳人，不断地继承和发扬东阳建筑（人）敢为人先、争创一流的拼搏精神，同时还要为家乡做好代言,为东阳建筑走向法国乃至欧洲，尽一份海外游子应尽的义务，希望东阳能在海外为人所熟知。”张磊说，近年来，楼良军还帮助了不少在法国工作的金华华人华侨，帮助他们在建筑领域获得了一席之地。

作为金华法国商会成员，张磊及楼良军表示，他们会传承并发扬金华人求真务实、守正创新的精神，继续积极服务旅法金华乡亲，促进海外华商与金华市的经贸合作，立足当下，放眼未来，融入当地社会，努力发展事业，为中法及中欧经济和文化交流搭建更好更大的平台。（本报记者 季俊磊）
