Ray Shine Group's $30 million Taiwan-funded precision manufacturing project achieved a major milestone with the topping-out of its 20,000-square-meter plant in Chengbei Industrial Park, Huilong town.

The project head expressed gratitude, noting it took less than four months from groundbreaking in April to topping out, thanks to the careful support from Huilong town authorities.

Among the witnesses of the milestone was Gong Xiaofeng, an investment promotion officer from Huilong town. After congratulating the Ray Shine team, Gong quickly moved on to assist two other Taiwan-funded projects: Modus, a high-end bicycle components manufacturer, with its safety compliance procedures, and Yueni, also a bicycle parts manufacturer, with formalities related to land use.

Since these three projects began, Gong has assumed dual roles — serving both as a project recruiter and as a lifelong service provider for each enterprise. His team has supported investors through various tasks, including name pre-approval, business registration, foreign currency account setup, capital injection, and construction coordination.

This proactive, detailed, and responsive service has earned the trust of many businesses. Both Modus and Ray Shine have accelerated their capital injections, with Modus investing $8.4 million and Ray Shine $4.09 million in foreign capital so far this year. Both companies have committed to boosting their registered capital by another $1 million each, even before completing their projects.

Huilong town has also taken proactive steps by hosting investment promotion events in Shanghai and southern Jiangsu, strengthening connections with Taiwanese business associations, and expanding communication channels.

"Our goal is to create a business environment characterized by excellent service, strong infrastructure, and full support," said Xu Jinmo, vice-mayor of Huilong.

Huilong town is in active negotiations for over 20 projects, each valued at more than 100 million yuan ($13.87 million), including a foreign investment project exceeding $30 million. In the first half of this year, the town received $16 million in actual foreign capital inflow.
