She encouraged enterprises to go abroad, and the first China-Europe Tool and Hardware Development Summit was held this year precisely for such an intention. "We Chinese companies look at this market, and in the active development, hoping to launch our national brand through this platform. At the same time, enterprises should be able to withstand temptation and loneliness, we have to do it one day at a time and overcome impatience. Do our most basic thing - quality, do a good job. With the best materials to do fine, fine, excellent, our independent innovation will certainly be able to find the available wu world, our independent brand will certainly win the domestic market."
