[Explanation] Zheng Renhao, a 49-year-old Taiwanese engineer, has been rooted in Anhui for nearly five years. He is humorous and describes himself as half a Hefei native. He is familiar with both the local dialect and folk culture.

  [Explanation] Zheng Renhao is the general manager of Hemeng Precision Industry (Hefei) Co., Ltd. In 2017, when he first entered the park where the company is located, it was still a wasteland, and there were few people around except for the factory buildings under construction.

However, in just half a year, with the support and help of the government, the factory was completed and delivered, which moved him very much.

  I learned the location of this plant from the ppt. When it was really my turn in 2018, Miscanthus was taller than a human.

I didn't expect that after the government was willing to do it, it would go from having a base to the building (factory) within half a year. I think this is the first moving part.

  [Explanation] Zheng Renhao said that with more than 20 years of experience in the industry, he was appointed by his company at the time and hoped to choose a place in the mainland to build a factory to realize the localization of high-end spare parts and reduce dependence on imports.

With the goal of creating localized high-end spare parts, since 2017, Zheng Renhao and his team began to visit many cities and development zones in mainland China, looking for suitable factory sites in terms of geographical location, local policies, talents and supporting facilities.

After research and discussion, Hefei was finally selected as the best place to settle down and build a factory.

  [Explanation] In 2018, Zheng Renhao and his team officially took root in Hefei and have been working since then.

Despite the epidemic, the company is still developing rapidly.

Zheng Renhao is very happy that he chose to come to Hefei to start a business. Now the company is not only on the right track and on the fast track of development, but also cultivated a group of local talents and made many friends.

  After the (epidemic prevention policy) is liberalized, exchanges will definitely be more frequent.

Therefore, I think that people-to-people exchanges will be closer, and after a consensus is formed, cross-strait exchanges and better cooperation will not be a difficult problem or an unattainable dream.

  [Explanation] After the mainland optimizes the epidemic prevention measures, he believes that Taiwanese businessmen will increase investment in Anhui, especially in high-tech industries such as high-end manufacturing.

In the new year, he also set new goals for the company, full of confidence in the future development.

  First of all, next year (2023) we can open up the integration with international exchanges, and some domestic (mainland) correspondence with customers can be timely, so I think under this situation, the industry will definitely get a greater improvement.
