Wu Zhengyan, a Taiwanese businessman who has been in Pingtan for nearly 10 years, specially experienced the first train and felt the "new speed" of Pingtan's development.
In the past ten years or so, Wu Zhengyan felt that the right thing was to invest in Pingtan.
Eight years ago, Wu Zhengyan came to Pingtan to start his own business because he was optimistic about the development prospects of Pingtan.
Nowadays, as the development of Pingtan advances, Wu Zhengyan's cross-strait import and export trade and real estate projects in Pingtan have also become more prosperous.
In Wu Zhengyan's eyes, the development of the mainland is changing with each passing day. As long as Taiwanese businessmen keep up with the development rhythm of the mainland and seize good opportunities, they can make their businesses bigger and stronger.
Regarding the "14th Five-Year Plan", Wu Zhengyan said that he is full of confidence in development. The mainland economy is getting better and better, and the number of tourists coming to Pingtan is increasing. This is good for many Taiwanese who are starting businesses in Pingtan.

Li Zhenghong, chairman of the National Association of Investment Enterprises of Taiwan Compatriots, said that the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China drew a blueprint for the economic and social development of the mainland during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and proposed the long-term goal of basically achieving socialist modernization by 2035. This will bring major opportunities and long-term benefits to the majority of Taiwanese enterprises and compatriots.
Fang Yiru, a Taiwanese businessman who has been starting a business in Fujian for a long time, said that every Taiwanese businessman can find the rhythm and opportunities for his own development in the "14th Five-Year Plan" according to his own situation.
He will enter the Guangxi market from Fujian and the signing of RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) will add new momentum to the development of Taiwanese compatriots and Taiwanese enterprises.
Facing the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwanese enterprises, with the help of the powerful economic recovery in the mainland and the help of relief measures, quickly pressed the restart button.
Lin Zikai, a Taiwanese businessman, said that the mainland's "sending charcoal in the snow" has made Taiwanese businessmen and enterprises feel more at ease, and the new development plan has brought precious confidence.
Lin Zikai pointed out that in the face of the "14th Five-Year Plan", Taiwanese businessmen are not only concerned with content specifically involving both sides of the strait, but all opportunities and areas where they can invest and participate.
New infrastructure and digital economy have become hot topics of discussion among Taiwanese businessmen.
Wu Jiaying, president of the Xiamen Taiwanese Investment Enterprise Association, revealed that his company is currently participating in the construction of the Xiamen subway project and is actively seeking bids for the construction of Xiamen Xiang’an Airport.
"Taiwan enterprises can participate in the construction of the mainland's new infrastructure, and Taiwan compatriots will have more sense of gain in the mainland."
Lin Zikai said that the mainland's Internet industry is developing rapidly, the innovation of the digital economy and the prospects for digital technology research and development are very broad, and the construction of "new infrastructure" is leading the world. These are areas where many Taiwanese companies have the opportunity to participate.
Taiwanese company Wasion Group is a high-tech enterprise that produces all-electronic energy meters, terminals, and measurement management solutions.
Xu Tao, the company's global vice president, pointed out that the new infrastructure field allows Taiwanese companies to see unlimited business opportunities.
Taiwan has advantages in core technologies such as semiconductors. In the future, the two sides of the strait can work together to achieve a win-win situation.
The mainland is accelerating the construction of a new development pattern in which the domestic large cycle is the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promote each other.
Huang Maoxing, dean of the School of Economics at Fujian Normal University, believes that expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption have long been viewed by Taiwanese companies that have focused on export sales as a new way to break through the predicament.
Xu Tao believes that Taiwanese businessmen used to be more involved in the "outer circle", but now they are participating in the "inner circle" and "new infrastructure" construction. They still need to explore ways to do this with an innovative and entrepreneurial mentality.
Fujian officials disclosed a new path for the integration of Fujian and Taiwan during the "14th Five-Year Plan": new progress has been made in the construction of the first homeland of Taiwanese compatriots and Taiwanese enterprises, which further highlights the leading role of Taiwan as an example.
