　　On February 9th, the ninth day of the first lunar month, in the early morning, Fujian Xinhongyu Bamboo and Wood Co., Ltd., located in Jianyang District, Nanping City, Fujian Province, ushered in the start of construction after the Spring Festival holiday of the Year of the Tiger. The workers in the workshop have just resumed work. Busy, step up production to catch up with orders.

　　"At the beginning of the new year, the company's orders continued, and customers came to negotiate from time to time." Jiang Chaodong, general manager of Fujian Xinhongyu Bamboo and Wood Co., Ltd., was not idle either. A batch of crafts.

　　Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Jiang Chaodong stayed in the mainland for two consecutive years to celebrate the New Year.

He told a reporter from Chinanews.com that although he could not return to Taiwan, the attentive service of the local government made him both warm and at ease.

　　Born in 1960, Jiang Chaodong is a native of Yilan, Taiwan. He "landed" alone in 1990 and chose Shanghai as his first stop.

After a small career in Shanghai, he turned his attention to Fujian, which is across the sea from Taiwan.

In 2009, his family moved to Fujian and started a new round of entrepreneurship.

　　The rich bamboo and wood resources in northern Fujian attracted Jiang Chaodong's attention.

In 2013, he took root in Jianyang District, Nanping City, and invested in setting up a factory to produce and operate bamboo and wood products and kitchen supplies.

　　In the exhibition hall, the characteristic products independently developed and produced by the company, such as knife rests, tableware rests, bamboo and wooden calendars, bamboo and wooden paintings, are lined up in a dazzling array.

Jiang Chaodong told reporters that bamboo and wood products and kitchen products have been made for decades, and they are still innovating, and the market is getting better and better.

　　In recent years, the mainland has introduced a series of policies and measures to benefit Taiwan compatriots, including the 22 measures to benefit Taiwan's agriculture and forestry released in March 2021.

Jiang Chaodong seized the policy dividends of the mainland's measures to benefit Taiwan and the people, and continued to expand the business territory. "The output value is expected to increase by 30% in 2022."

　　"Jianyang District has issued many preferential policies for Taiwanese businessmen to support the rapid development of enterprises." On Jiang Chaodong's desk, there is a plan of the new factory. The new factory is located in the Xushi area of ​​Jianyang Economic Development Zone. The construction is intensified, and it is expected to be put into operation by the end of the year.

　　Every time new measures are introduced to benefit Taiwan and the people in the mainland, Jiang Chaodong will promptly tell his friends in Taiwan, "If they are willing to come, it is best to choose here." Jiang Chaodong is even more concerned about the assistance of mainland Taiwan-related departments. I felt particularly deeply, "No matter the big or small matter, as long as we ask the Taiwan Office, the Taiwan Office will help; whether it is work problems or life problems, they take special care of us."

　　"Only by adapting to this market can we take root in this market." Jiang Chaodong attaches great importance to product innovation, and the company has set up a research and development team to focus on developing new products.

　　At the same time, Jiang Chaodong gave full play to the advantages of the development of Taiwan's cultural and creative industry, and has been involving young Taiwanese students in product design.

"When I go back, I will communicate with them. They can design something, and we will make a sample to bring it to the market."

　　"Cross-strait cooperation to develop new varieties, adapt to the market and take root in the market, can achieve a win-win situation." In Jiang Chaodong's view, no matter what industry you do, the mainland market is the largest market in the world, and the mainland has a huge market and huge development potential.

　　"Young people here have more opportunities than in Taiwan, because this market is bigger than I thought." Jiang Chaodong hopes that Taiwanese youths will seize the development opportunities in the mainland and look forward to the future together.
