Orders are the foundation of foreign trade enterprises. The global economy is sluggish, insufficient foreign demand, and order reduction are the biggest difficulties faced by foreign trade enterprises at present. In order to better and faster break through the difficulties of enterprises not being able to leave, merchants not being able to enter, and orders are difficult to maintain, Weifang City seizes the opportunity of optimizing epidemic prevention and control measures, and takes improving service capabilities and service levels as a breakthrough point, and launches a set of "combination punches" of service that is booming, helping many foreign trade companies in Weifang to sail, go out together, expand markets, and grab orders, forming a vivid picture of "service wind is warm, thousands of sails are strong, and governments and enterprises work together to welcome the coming of spring."
One enterprise and one "nanny", the service is more effective
The epidemic has seriously restricted the pace of enterprises going global. With the optimization of national epidemic policies, enterprises are increasingly motivated to go global. Weifang City seized the opportunity and took the initiative to connect, and helped enterprises explore the international market.
Goer Group is a leading foreign trade enterprise at home and abroad, ranking first in Weifang . However, due to the epidemic, corporate orders have been affected, which has restricted the rapid development of enterprises. Starting from October, Weifang Municipal Party Secretary Jiang Duntao and Mayor Liu Yun personally served as service specialists of Goer Group, and led relevant departments to work on-site on-site on-site to solve problems on the front line, concentrate various advantageous resources to support Goer accelerated development, and encourage enterprises to strengthen their confidence in opening up the international market. According to statistics, since October, Weifang City has implemented one-to-one nanny service specialists for 232 foreign trade companies.
In order to more accurately grasp the demands of foreign trade enterprises, the city has implemented the one-enterprise-one service specialist system to provide full-chain nanny-style services to foreign trade enterprises. We regularly conduct major visits to key foreign trade enterprises in the city, conduct research on the development of new business forms such as cross-border e-commerce, orders in hand, as well as financing, logistics, etc., and provide services, policies and information to enterprises at home, help enterprises expand their business ideas and tap their internal potential. In response to the problem of some companies not familiar with foreign trade business, the business department takes the initiative to connect and provide careful guidance, checks all details of the company's application materials throughout the process, and assists the company in completing the approval process, which greatly improves the processing efficiency and reduces the company's service costs. Actively promote foreign trade enterprises to enter the provincial "double stability platform" to alleviate the difficulties and solve the problems of enterprises, and promptly push the demands of enterprises such as employment, financing, and logistics to relevant departments for coordination and resolution, and a total of 281 problems were solved for 256 enterprises.

Behind the pursuit of orders outside the government and enterprises is the same-way efforts of government and enterprises, with enterprises charging ahead and government services behind. What foreign trade companies are most worried about is that they cannot participate in overseas exhibitions. Now, global exhibitions are accelerating their opening, and enterprises still dare not take a rash step - high overseas exhibition fees, rising international air tickets, uncertain factors of overseas stay, etc., a series of "stumbling blocks" have become hidden worries.In order to dispel corporate concerns, the Weifang Municipal Business Department took the initiative to provide services, and jointly established a linkage service mechanism with the public security, foreign affairs, customs and other departments, showed new measures to form a joint force, optimized measures to facilitate entry and exit of business personnel, and frequently launched a series of "combination punches" to effectively open up the "last mile" of government-enterprise interaction, encouraged enterprises to go out to "see customers", "grab orders" and "expand the market", and fully support and ensure that enterprises go out smoothly and worry-free when returning to the country.
