Fuzhou, September 4 (Reporter Yan Xu) "I am full of confidence in China's development prospects. Xie Guomin, chairman of The Thai Chia Tai Group, said that the majority of overseas Chinese businessmen have great potential for investment and development in China.
The first China Overseas Chinese Investment (Fujian) Conference was held in Fuzhou on the 4th, and more than 200 well-known overseas Chinese businessmen participated in the conference to further unite overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese wisdom, and better serve all-round to promote high-quality development and transcendence.
Xie Guomin spoke at the opening ceremony of the conference via video link. He said: Entering the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan," China's development and Fujian's development potential are very great, providing great investment opportunities for the vast number of overseas Chinese businessmen.

Xie Guomin said that Chia Tai Group will continue to increase investment in Fujian and promote the high-quality development of modern agricultural industrialization in Fujian.
Singapore Golden Eagle Group Chairman Tan Jiang He also participated in the conference via video link. He said that since Singapore's Golden Eagle Group entered China in the 1990s, it has invested more than 60 billion yuan in Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Shandong, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shanghai and other provinces and cities, and will exceed 100 billion yuan during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
"At present, Chinese mainland has become one of the most important strategic development areas of Golden Eagle Group." Chen Jianghe expressed his hope to work with the vast number of overseas Chinese businessmen to give play to the wisdom of overseas Chinese, actively promote Fujian, actively promote China's high-quality development, and contribute to friendly exchanges and cooperation between China and other countries in the world.
Historically, overseas Chinese businessmen and overseas Chinese enterprises have been important participants and contributors to China's reform, opening up and modernization. In the new era, overseas Chinese businessmen are actively promoting China's implementation of a wider range, wider field and deeper level of opening up.
The China Overseas Chinese Investment Conference is a brand-new brand activity created by the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, aiming to build a win-win cooperation platform for overseas Chinese and local governments, and to gather the strength of overseas Chinese for the new era and new journey.
Overseas Chinese businessmen attending the meeting said that they will seize the new development opportunities brought about by the national "14th Five-Year Plan", continue to play the role of overseas Chinese businessmen as a bridge between economic and trade cooperation, integration and internal and external relations, promote the construction of a higher level of open economy, and match domestic enterprises to go overseas and open up the international market.
In 1989, Lin Wenjing, a famous overseas Chinese businessman, returned to his hometown of Fuqing to investigate, and successively founded the Rongqiao Development Zone, the Yuanhong Investment Zone, and the Hongkuan Industrial Village, attracting overseas Chinese with overseas Chinese and Taiwan with overseas Chinese, and helping his hometown achieve economic development.
Lin Hongxiu, chairman of Rongqiao Group, said that Rongqiao Group resonates with the same frequency of national opening up and development, develops key industries such as real estate, property, commerce, and port industry, and becomes a comprehensive foreign-invested enterprise in the whole industry chain. In recent years, Rongqiao Group has conformed to the needs of the development of the new era and transformed into agriculture, education, medical and other sectors.
"My father used to say that a successful entrepreneur can't ignore the development of his hometown." Lin Hongxiu said that the inheritance of overseas Chinese has been passed down for the third generation, and it will continue to inherit the spirit of overseas Chinese loving the country and the hometown, and continue to contribute to the prosperity of the motherland.
Wu Huaxin, part-time vice chairman of the Fujian Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and chairman of Fujian Yongrong Holding Group Co., Ltd., believes that in the opening year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", overseas Chinese businessmen have hitched a ride on economic development, and there are more opportunities and choices for economic and trade cooperation.
"In the new development pattern of 'double circulation', only by basing themselves on themselves and smoothing the domestic cycle can overseas Chinese business enterprises be conducive to better promoting the international cycle and forming a 'double cycle' interaction." Wu Huaxin said that in recent years, Yongrong Group has vigorously invested in research and development funds and established a platform for the transformation of scientific research achievements in universities. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we hope to uphold the concept of the older generation of overseas Chinese businessmen serving the country and continue to play a role in stabilizing growth, promoting innovation, increasing employment, and improving people's livelihood.
