rooted in the mainland and deeply rooted in Guangdong

"If you want to share the development and growth of Taiwanese enterprises in the mainland in the past ten years, I think I should be one of the most qualified candidates, because I am a participant and beneficiary of my personal experience, and the most powerful witness." National Taiwan Compatriots Investment Enterprise Association Honorary President and Chairman of Taiwan International Group Guo Shanhui told reporters in Nandu about his experience of entering Dongguan, Guangdong to invest and build a factory by chance.

In the early 1990s, Taisheng was just a small furniture manufacturing factory in Taichung, Taiwan. During an inspection, Guo Shanhui came to Daling Mountain, which is 50% forested by the Daling Mountain, and was attracted by the labor cost advantages of Daling Mountain, the convenient sea transportation only one hour away from Shenzhen Yantian Port, and a series of policies to benefit Taiwan introduced by the state. So, he resolutely decided to leave Taiwan and settle in Dongguan . In October 1995, Dongguan Taisheng Furniture Co., Ltd. officially invested and established in Dalingshan Town, Dongguan City.

In order to enable furniture production to have a unified and systematic process from wood cutting, assembly, surface polishing, solid wood veneer, paint, carton packaging to cabinet export, to save production time, Guo Shanhui persuaded several local furniture supporting factories in Taiwan to invest in Dalingshan, Dongguan.

"In the past decade, my investment in the mainland has followed the booming national economy, achieved fruitful results and accumulated considerable capital, allowing my furniture industry to vertically integrate the upper, middle and lower industrial chains, complete the integration of manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and increase the vitality and added value of the industry." Guo Shanhui said, "The motherland has successively introduced policies to benefit Taiwan in the past decade, creating a good business environment, showing the importance of Taiwanese businessmen and compatriots and their goodness for the peaceful and stable development of the cross-strait Ideal.
