Guan Weihai, deputy director of the management committee of the Taixing Economic Development Zone – located in Taixing city, in East China's Jiangsu province – has devoted himself to the investment promotions position he has held for 17 years now.
During this period, Guan has helped attract a number of major projects, with a total investment of over 40 billion yuan ($5.53 billion).
As a veteran of investment promotions, Guan said that only accurate descriptions and explanations and accurate positioning can help win customers.
In 2018, Guan led a team that shuttled back and forth between Shanghai, Changzhou and Taixing cities multiple times. This resulted in a research and development and production plant funded by WuXi AppTec – a global provider of R&D and manufacturing services supporting healthcare companies – being built in the Taixing EDZ.
Through his dedicated efforts, Guan has reaped great results in investment attraction. For example, as medical projects have become the next economic growth point in the Taixing EDZ, Guan succeeded in getting a pharmaceutical formulation R&D integration project to sign up this year, which is being invested in by Arthur Pharma Group in Zhejiang province.
In his view, only by standing up to the needs of the job, treating family and friends with compassion and understanding and maintaining sincerity in friendships, can we seek long-term development based on mutual win-win benefits – empowering investment promotions with substantial commercial achievements.
