By establishing a system of service enterprise commissioners and offering "point-to-point" services for companies, the county is now able to promptly address and fulfill the needs of businesses, thereby fostering business growth.

"The introduction of service enterprise commissioners has allowed us to create an electronic map for our company, leading to the acquisition of new customers and orders. This has expanded our product sales channels," said Zhang Longkai, chairman of Donglyv Aluminum Technology Co Ltd.
