神禹治水，设坛祭天，挥剑劈峰，削为天台。众望立世，壁立万仞，拔地擎天。泰山颠，黄河畔，摘日月精华积天地灵气，开万世基业铸九五之鼎。
“众望”，地产先锋也。怀进退俱忧念，凿城市精品、连广厦万间，使耄耋黄发，怡然自乐；缅历史降己任，传经世之作、添建筑玺章，锲丹心取义，万载流芳。“众望”俱怀逸兴壮思飞，欲上青天揽明月--步不停步，争朝夕；行还远行，与时进，其胆高志远与天齐，九州煮剑谁争锋。
续写昨日之辉煌，再造乾坤兴中华，借得东风创世纪，铮铮铁骨慨而慷。本色乃是天注定，只为振兴谱华章，他年问鼎泰山颠，铁骑八千，响彻环宇美名扬。

To tame the flooding rivers, legendary Yu set up an altar, prayed to Heaven above. With a sword, he hacked across a mountain and there came the Tiantai (Heaven's Terrace) Mount. In like manner, "Zhongwang" was born among thousands of cliffs and rocks and grew to stand up straight there between the sky and the earth. He has climbed the summit of Mount Tai, walked beside The Yellow River, absorbed the energy from the sun and the moon and has been invigorated by the essence of the heaven and the splendor of the earth. He starts a new career to wealth and prosperity for thousands of generations to come and will even excel the ancient Yao, Shun, and Yu in deeds.
Zhongwang Corporation is a pioneer in Real Estate business. He is postured to both advance and retreat, has a compassionate heart for the multitude. He chisels out buildings of classic quality in the cities and links thousands of houses into communities in which all the residents are enjoying life from the aged to the children. In memory of our past glory, he assumes the task of building a new generation of classic architecture as his goal and always ready to sacrifice her heart and mind to achieve excellence for the thousands of years to come. "Zhongwang" is exalted to distant thought and dreaming to fly up into the sky and touch the bright moon. Step by step without stop to seize the day and seize the night; walk and walk to the far distance to keep pace of the times. He is daring and aims as high as the sky and is ready to take the challenge from competitors across the globe.
Let us write a new episode of grandeur to rejuvenate the Chinese nation to continue our past glory! With brave hearts and high spirit, let us sail into a new century with the east wind! God creates the essence of man; man creates his own destiny. When we come back to the top of Mount Tai many years from now, a cavalry of eight thousand soldiers, the clip-clop of horses' hooves, the rat-tat of drums will be heard across the world.
