Work begins on services center

The ground-breaking ceremony for an office building providing comprehensive services to Dongguan entrepreneurs all over the world was held in the Guangdong city on Thursday.

The complex, called the Home of World Dongguan Entrepreneurs, will become a place for promoting brands of Dongguan enterprises, exhibiting their products, providing training to and strengthening exchanges between Dongguan entrepreneurs, and studying how to help them grow bigger and stronger.

The building, designed by a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and master architect He Jingtang, who was born in Dongguan, combines traditional Lingnan architectural style with modern features. It is expected to play an active role in promoting and developing Dongguan enterprises and entrepreneurs on the global stage.

Complex set to hit new heights

Dongguan entrepreneurs have visited a large urban complex in the city expected to eclipse all other buildings in height during their return to their hometown for the 2016 World Dongguan Entrepreneurs Convention. The project, literally translated as World Trade Center, will be a multiple-use complex with offices, apartments, finance services, catering, hotels and other industries when completed. It was invested in by Minying Group, a real estate investment and development conglomerate consisting of 39 homegrown enterprises. The complex will be built with a gross floor area of more than 1.03 million square meters, of which 650,000 square meters will be for commerce and office buildings. Approximately 10 billion yuan ($1.53 billion) has been poured into the project.

City honors entrepreneurs

Thirteen Dongguan businesspeople were awarded the prize of "outstanding Dongguan entrepreneurs" on Thursday during the 2016 World Dongguan Entrepreneurs Convention. The prize-winners pledged to continue to promote the traditional spirit of Dongguan entrepreneurs and strive to make greater contribution to the city's economy. Zheng Yaonan, one of the prize-winners and chairman and president of Cosmo Lady, said Dongguan is a good place for entrepreneurship. He hopes more local enterprises could "go out" so that more people could get to know Dongguan, thereby attracting more outstanding entrepreneurs to the city.
