Accompanied by Wang Xigang, Vice County Governor of Xian County, Gao Xijun, Chief Advisor of LeShou Group, and Zhong Jinghong, President of the Group, the delegation toured key facilities including LeShou Duck Industry’s Halal processing plant, the hatchery, the Letong workshop under the Group’s Feed Division, and the company’s state-of-the-art Testing Center. The group then gathered in Conference Room No. 2 at the Group’s office building for an informal discussion. During the meeting, Secretary Tang emphasized that the purpose of this visit was to learn and gain firsthand insights into LeShou Group’s current industrial development. He remarked that the company truly lives up to its reputation as a leading agricultural industrial enterprise, effectively empowering local farmers to boost their incomes while enabling them to stay rooted in their hometowns without abandoning their land. Secretary Tang also highlighted that Chengguan District in Lhasa is an ideal hub for the integrated development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. He assured that the local government would provide robust support—streamlining administrative processes, ensuring seamless coordination, and offering tailored assistance—to help LeShou successfully implement its projects and achieve tangible results soon. Additionally, Secretary Tang expressed his hope that LeShou could leverage Tibet’s pristine natural environment—characterized by "clean air, clean water, clean soil, and a tranquil mind"—to serve as a bridge, connecting Tibetan agricultural and pastoral products with markets across mainland China. To further facilitate this initiative, he announced that new investment promotion policies would be unveiled by the end of June 2018, offering LeShou Group preferential treatment in areas such as tax incentives, technological innovation, and talent acquisition. Meanwhile, County Governor Wang acknowledged LeShou Group’s steadfast commitment to its core corporate values—“be honest in character and diligent in action”—which have deeply resonated with employees over the past two decades. He praised the company’s steady growth trajectory, noting its recent rapid expansion as it embraces an ambitious “go-global” strategy by establishing a presence in Lhasa’s Chengguan District. This move aligns perfectly with the natural progression of business development, fostering greater integration of societal resources. Furthermore, the Group has consistently prioritized talent management, actively attracting and nurturing professionals from diverse backgrounds through its inclusive “open competition” approach. After all, the leadership recognized that without a strong talent pool, a company risks losing its internal momentum and competitiveness. In closing, both leaders expressed their deep appreciation for the unwavering support provided by the Chengguan District government, which has been instrumental in paving the way for LeShou Group’s continued success. They pledged that LeShou Food would remain committed to delivering high-quality products while striving to make meaningful contributions to Tibet’s economic and social development. With this renewed confidence and backing, the Group is poised to not only thrive in Lhasa but also to blossom into a symbol of prosperity and innovation in the region.
