In the keynote speech of "Overcoming the Three Mountains" and being "Our Own People", Zhou Haijiang said that "the mountain of financing", "the iceberg of the market" and "the volcano of transformation" did not appeared in recent years. They have existed for a long time and have run through the development of private enterprises. The external environment and policy optimization cannot completely remove the “three mountains” and the Internal factors are the key to solving problems.
