The initial idea is to understand first, if the situation allows, understand that the basic conditions are a little more mature, and set up a branch there to be a springboard and develop to the world.
Because it has gathered global talents and advanced cities in global finance, I think the development prospects are still very impressive.
[Explanation] It is understood that Hong Kong has a fair, open and international business environment, implements a common law system, and brings together funds, talents, institutions and financial business activities from all over the world.
Hong Kong leverages its own strengths to contribute to the reform and opening up of the Mainland, and plays an important role as a bridge and intermediary in helping Mainland enterprises "go global" and foreign capital "bringing in".

The main advantage of Hong Kong for mainland enterprises is that taxation is relatively simple and the tax rate is relatively low.
In addition, under the "one country, two systems" principle, Hong Kong has a relatively independent and sound legal system, which is also a good springboard for attracting mainland enterprises to enter the international market through Hong Kong.
In addition, Hong Kong's high-quality international talents have proved to be such a good resource that can vigorously assist mainland enterprises to successfully go global in the past so many years.
[Explanation] The industrial layout of Anhui and Hong Kong has obvious advantages, and there is huge space for cooperation.
According to statistics, Anhui has established 83 enterprises in Hong Kong successively, and 18 Anhui enterprises have been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Hong Kong capital has long been the largest source of foreign investment in Anhui.
In the future, Anhui will make full use of Hong Kong's unique advantages and the important role of "super contact" to further deepen the economic and trade cooperation between Anhui and Hong Kong.

In this regard, Hong Kong can assist mainland enterprises in investment and financing to achieve this purpose. Then when they go to Hong Kong and successfully become Hong Kong companies, the funds raised can be reinvested in the mainland, which will further accelerate the speed of the local Anhui Province. economic development.
