Zhang Tangwei, who was born in Changhua, Taiwan in 1968, was one of the first Taiwanese businessmen to invest in Zhangpu.
He graduated from National Taiwan University with a major in horticulture. He is proficient in phalaenopsis tissue culture and cloning technology, and is engaged in the export trade of phalaenopsis in Taiwan.
In 2001, Zhang Tangwei, a Hong Kong business partner, recommended him to develop in the mainland.
After the "landing" inspection, he was optimistic about Zhangpu's superior natural conditions and good investment environment, so he resigned from his job in Taiwan and shifted the focus of his career and life to Zhangpu.
Talking about the reason for "landing", Zhang Tangwei said that he was in his early 30s at that time, and he was unmarried, so he dared to break in.
"The mainland market is big, the demand for Phalaenopsis is big, and the cost is low and there is a lot of land."
"At present, the company covers an area of 15 mu, mainly for the cultivation of Phalaenopsis in greenhouses; the company's sales last year were 8 million yuan, and 70% of it was exported, mainly to the United States, Japan, Vietnam and other countries; the other 30% was sold to the domestic market." Zhang Tangwei said.

In recent years, Phalaenopsis has entered the public eye due to its unique ornamental value, and it has also become a must-have for New Years, and sales have also increased.
Zhang Tangwei revealed, "After the state advocates healthy consumption, citizens' purchases tend to be rational and rigid, and the amount of phalaenopsis purchased at home has increased. During the Spring Festival last year, the supply of phalaenopsis exceeded demand."
In recent years, the mainland has introduced many policies to benefit Taiwan, such as loan interest discounts, electricity tariff concessions, and investment subsidies for fixed assets. Zhang Tangwei is one of the many beneficiaries.
"The land management rights and agricultural facilities in the mainland can be used for loan mortgages, and the loans have discounted interest. For example: I rented 15 acres of land, invested 10 million yuan, and loaned 3 million yuan with an annual interest of 120,000 yuan. Various government discounts , the subsidy will be 110,000 yuan." Zhang Tangwei repeatedly praised the introduction of various measures to benefit Taiwan, which made him more confident in the future investment and expansion of enterprises.
"Not only that, the government also subsidizes investment in fixed assets, such as factories. In addition, enterprises also enjoy a 30% discount on electricity bills, which can be reduced or exempted by about 200,000 yuan a year." Zhang Tangwei said that in the future, he plans to add tissue training to make it bigger and bigger. Strong Phalaenopsis industry through-train.
For more than 20 years, the mainland's economy has developed by leaps and bounds, and Zhang Tangwei has experienced it himself.
According to him, during the Spring Festival this year, an old Taiwan compatriot intends to let his son inherit the mainland career and let his son come to the mainland to study.
After this young Taiwanese landed for the first time, he was very shocked by the development of the mainland, and said to Zhang Tangwei: "The mainland does not need to bring a wallet when going out. All payments are made by WeChat and Alipay. The degree of digitalization is so high, and the urban construction is much more developed than I imagined. "
"The two sides of the Taiwan Strait have the same culture, customs, and language, and communication is very convenient." Zhang Tangwei said frankly that the mainland market has broad prospects and many opportunities.
He said that he hoped that more Taiwanese youth would come to the mainland to have a look and feel the development, changes and efficiency of the mainland.
