Choosing a business location is like placing a bet with real money to reveal the future.

This is especially true for manufacturing companies expanding or relocating, where once the process begins, investments can easily reach tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions. Once the decision is made, there is no turning back.

Making decisions based solely on personal recommendations or superficial research, without a systematic evaluation, is not a wise move.

Guchuan United has 14 years of experience in investment promotion and corporate site selection services. Behind each successful case lies Guchuan’s deep understanding of corporate development and industrial transformation.

A 2,000-Kilometer "Mutual Pursuit"

On March 28, the Shuozhou Economic Development Zone in Shanxi held a ceremony to mark the集中 commencement and resumption of projects for 2023.

The High-Performance Carbon Fiber Pre-preg Project by Shanxi Yuhan New Materials Co., Ltd.—which was precisely introduced by Guchuan United and has settled in the emerging industrial park—officially broke ground.

High-Performance Carbon Fiber Pre-preg Project

▲ With a total investment of 520 million yuan, the project is expected to generate an annual output value of over 900 million yuan and annual tax revenue of over 110 million yuan upon reaching full production capacity.

Traveling thousands of miles from Guizhou to invest in Shuozhou is nothing short of a heartwarming story of mutual commitment between government and enterprise.

Guichuan United is both a witness and a participant in this journey.

Initially, when GuChuan United obtained information that the company was considering establishing a production base in the areas surrounding Inner Mongolia and northern Shanxi, we immediately dispatched our Shanxi regional service team to liaise with the company’s management.

Based on our assessment of the project, we carefully analyzed the industrial foundations and investment advantages of various cities in the target region for the company’s executives.

After comprehensively comparing factors such as location, transportation, raw materials, the concentration of upstream and downstream industries, and relevant investment promotion policies, Shuozhou stood out among the list of candidate cities.

Immediately afterward, the service team swiftly assisted the company in visiting and engaging with multiple development zones in Shuozhou, striving to find the most suitable environment for the company’s development in the shortest possible time.

It is important to note that Shuozhou is nearly 2,000 kilometers away from Guizhou, a drive of over 20 hours.

The entrepreneur traveled all the way to Shuozhou for the inspection while also having to manage the operations of the factory in Guizhou. The longer the process dragged on, the higher the costs became. However, issues such as energy consumption quotas, investment policies, and industrial land plots required repeated negotiations and thorough deliberation to resolve—they were not matters that could be decided quickly in a single meeting.

On one hand, the industrial park strictly enforces project entry requirements; on the other, businesses face tight deadlines for site selection and investment.

The only way to make up for lost time is through service.

The “genuine efforts” Shuozhou Economic Development Zone has made over the years to improve the business environment have played a crucial role.

In terms of physical infrastructure, the “Five Major Parks” feature well-developed facilities, with the “Nine Utilities and One Leveling” projects—including roads, communication networks, and sewage treatment—largely completed within the zones.

In terms of the soft environment, we have continued to deepen the “standard land + commitment system + full agency services + dedicated officer services” model, implementing a system of full commitment, zero approvals, and immediate construction upon land acquisition.

It is precisely for this reason that we have witnessed the “Shuozhou Speed”—projects signed within 30 days and operational within 40.

19 Cities Collaborate to “Assess” Corporate Site Selection

Some may ask:

"Companies can choose their own locations—why do they need to hire GuChuan United as an 'intermediary'?"

For one thing, site selection is a relatively infrequent task, and few companies maintain a dedicated team for it.

Even large enterprises typically opt to form ad-hoc project teams for this task. However, team members must balance this work with their regular duties, resulting in limited time and expertise.

On the other hand, selecting an industrial park that aligns with a company’s business from among the tens of thousands of parks across the country is no easy task. It requires not only significant effort to gather information but also direct communication with government investment promotion officials.

Aligning a company’s investment needs with a park’s investment promotion requirements also requires a lengthy negotiation process.

In short, site selection is a rigorous and complex task that requires strong information analysis and integration capabilities, extensive site selection experience, and expertise in liaising with government officials.

Engaging a professional team can often yield twice the results with half the effort.

Guchuan United has 14 years of experience in investment promotion and corporate site selection services. Our years of accumulated industry expertise and successful case studies have earned us the respect and trust of both government and corporate clients.

For example, the initial decision to quickly select Shuozhou as a location for a company was based on the Shanxi regional service team’s years of on-site research and service achievements.

Guchuan United operates in 19 cities across China, with experienced local service teams in each region.

With a broad network and deep local roots, we are able to assist companies in making informed assessments that balance short-term interests with long-term development, helping them find the most suitable “new home” in the shortest possible time.

Furthermore, Guchuan United’s negotiation skills regarding prospective plots and extensive local public relations networks can help enterprises secure greater policy support.

Without Guichuan United’s involvement, companies might spend significantly more time searching for a “new home,” disrupting subsequent production and operational plans—a single misstep leading to a chain of failures.

Of course, we are also working to break down these information barriers.

On one hand, we continuously update and improve our information products, such as our investment promotion network, to create more opportunities for precise matching between government and businesses;

On the other hand, drawing on our extensive site selection experience, we assist local governments in optimizing the business environment and improving the efficiency of project implementation.

With both data-driven insights and a global perspective, GuChuan United has become a trusted partner for enterprises.

Building a "Bridge of Connection" Between Government and Business

Today, the high-performance carbon fiber closed-molded block project is in full swing.

Project Manager Zou Huasheng remarked:

“It is a stroke of luck for our company to invest in Shuozhou and establish our business in the Shuozhou Economic Development Zone. We have witnessed the zone’s excellent ecological environment, superior geographical location and transportation network, and comprehensive industrial support. More importantly, we have seen a pragmatic and efficient team, dedicated and attentive service, and a business-friendly atmosphere that fosters a sense of security. Investing here gives us a sense of peace of mind, confidence, and comfort.”

It is worth noting that this project is a key focus of the company’s strategic development investments and serves as the cornerstone of its strategic partnerships with universities such as Hunan University and Central South University.

With a total investment of 520 million yuan, the project is expected to generate an annual output value of over 900 million yuan and annual tax revenue of over 110 million yuan.

As a partner of the Shuozhou Economic Development Zone, we sincerely invite investors and entrepreneurs to take an interest in Shuozhou, invest in Shuozhou, and establish a strong presence here. Let us share in the opportunities brought by the development zone’s reform and development, and work together to create a brighter future.

In the future, Guchuan Lianxing will inject new vitality into the high-quality economic development of the Development Zone through its outstanding achievements in investment promotion.

We will also dedicate more resources and effort to helping more enterprises find their ideal “new home,” forging a new chapter as we advance toward high-quality development.
