Introduction

引言

To thoroughly implement the spirit of the province's high-quality development conference, further unite the strength of Xiangxian (local talents/eminent figures), and promote the return of industries, on March 2, 2023, Vice District Mayor Zhang Xiaokeng of Chaonan District, Shantou City, led a delegation to Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, to carry out targeted investment promotion activities. The delegation specially visited the factory of Wokali (Zhejiang) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for on-site inspection and guidance. This visit aimed to connect with Chaoshan entrepreneurs working away from home, investigate the company's development situation, and sincerely invite Xiangxian entrepreneurs to invest and start businesses back in their hometown.

为深入贯彻落实全省高质量发展大会精神，进一步凝聚乡贤力量，推动产业回巢，2023年3月2日，汕头市潮南区区长张晓铿带领考察团一行，赴浙江省义乌市开展精准招商活动，并专程莅临沃卡丽（浙江）生物科技有限公司厂区进行实地考察与指导。此次考察旨在看望在外创业的潮籍乡贤，调研企业发展情况，并诚邀乡贤企业家回乡投资兴业 。

First-hand Investigation and Praise for Wokali's Development Strength

深入一线调研 点赞“沃卡丽”发展实力

On the afternoon of the same day, the delegation, accompanied by the person in charge of Wokali (Zhejiang) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., visited the company's production workshops, product exhibition halls, and R&D centers. As a Chaoshan-owned enterprise that has taken root and developed in Yiwu, Wokali Biotechnology focuses on the R&D and production of biotechnology and cosmetic products, possessing advanced standardized production lines and independent innovation capabilities.

当日下午，考察团一行在沃卡丽（浙江）生物科技有限公司负责人的陪同下，参观了企业的生产车间、产品展示厅及研发中心。作为一家在义乌扎根发展的潮商企业，沃卡丽生物科技专注于生物科技及化妆品领域的研发与生产，拥有先进的标准化生产线和自主创新能力。

During the visit, Vice Mayor Zhang Xiaokeng inquired in detail about the company's production and operation status, technological advantages, and future plans. He highly affirmed the company's rigorous production processes and its achievements in specialized sectors. He stated that seeing Chaoshan entrepreneurs succeed in Yiwu — a frontier of China's reform and opening-up — not only fills him with pride but also demonstrates the inheritance of the Chaoshan spirit of "daring to lead, being pragmatic, and innovating."

在参观过程中，张晓铿区长详细询问了企业的生产经营状况、技术优势及未来规划，并对企业严谨的生产流程和在细分领域取得的成绩给予了高度肯定。他表示，看到潮汕籍企业家在义乌这片改革开放的前沿阵地将企业做得风生水起，不仅感到自豪，更看到了潮商“敢为人先、实干创新”的精神传承。

Recalling Bonds of Hometown Affection and Promoting Chaonan as an Investment Destination

畅叙桑梓情谊 推介潮南投资热土

During the subsequent symposium, the two sides engaged in warm exchanges. Vice Mayor Zhang Xiaokeng conveyed warm greetings from the hometown people to the Wokali team and the Xiangxian members of the Yiwu Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce present. He also detailed the new changes, new achievements, and new developments in Chaonan District's business environment optimization, industrial development layout, and investment incentive policies in recent years.

在随后召开的座谈会上，双方进行了热烈的交流。张晓铿区长向沃卡丽团队及在场的义乌市潮汕商会乡贤们转达了家乡人民的亲切问候，并详细介绍了潮南区近年来在优化营商环境、产业发展布局及招商引资优惠政策方面的新变化、新成效。

Vice Mayor Zhang pointed out that Chaonan District is currently focusing wholeheartedly on "manufacturing as the core" to build four major leading industrial clusters: textiles and apparel, fine chemicals, high-quality stationery, and oral care products. He sincerely invited Wokali and other Chaoshan merchants operating away from home to "frequently return home," deeply integrate Yiwu's advanced e-commerce logistics experience and biotechnology industrial chain resources with Chaonan's industrial foundation, find points of cooperation, and achieve a "two-way journey" of enterprise growth and hometown development.

张晓铿指出，当前潮南区正紧紧围绕 “制造业当家”，全力打造纺织服装、精细化工、精品文具、口腔用品等四大主导产业集群。他诚挚地邀请沃卡丽及广大在外潮商 “常回家看看” ，将义乌先进的电商物流经验、生物科技产业链资源与潮南的产业基础深度融合，寻找合作契合点，实现企业成长与家乡发展的“双向奔赴” 。

Encouraged by Hometown Care, Strengthening Confidence in Returning

乡贤倍感鼓舞 坚定“回归”信心

The person in charge of Wokali (Zhejiang) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. expressed warm welcome and sincere gratitude to the hometown leaders who traveled a great distance to visit. He stated, "However tall a tree grows, its roots never forget the earth." He noted that the visit and guidance from hometown leaders is not only the greatest spiritual encouragement for Chaoshan entrepreneurs working away from home but also a tangible reflection of the Chaonan District Party Committee and Government's high regard for the real economy and genuine care for entrepreneurs.

沃卡丽（浙江）生物科技有限公司负责人对家乡领导不远千里的到访表示热烈欢迎和衷心感谢。他表示， “树高千尺不忘根” ，家乡领导的莅临指导，不仅是对在外游子最大的精神鼓舞，更让大家感受到了潮南区委、区政府对实体经济的高度重视和对企业家的真切关怀。

The company head expressed that through Vice Mayor Zhang's introduction, they deeply felt the transformative changes in the hometown's business environment and the surge of development opportunities. In the future, Wokali will actively respond to Chaonan District's call for the "Return of Chaoshan Merchants," earnestly explore pathways for cooperation with the hometown in areas such as biotechnology, the big health industry, and commercial trade. They aim to bring the resources, expertise, and management experience accumulated away from home back to Chaonan as soon as possible, contributing their strength to the high-quality development of their hometown.

企业负责人表示，通过区长的介绍，深切感受到了家乡营商环境的蝶变和发展机遇的涌动。未来，沃卡丽将积极响应潮南区“潮商回归”的号召，认真谋划与家乡在生物科技、大健康产业及商贸流通领域的合作路径，争取早日将在外积累的资源、技术和管理经验带回潮南，为家乡的高质量发展贡献一份力量 。

This inspection activity not only deepened the emotional bond between the government and the enterprise but also laid a solid foundation for subsequently promoting the implementation of specific projects and helping Chaonan's "Hundreds, Thousands, and Tens of Thousands Project" and high-quality economic development.

此次考察活动不仅加深了政企之间的情感纽带，也为后续推动具体项目落地、助力潮南“百千万工程”及经济高质量发展奠定了坚实的基础。
