Coupled with the country's major adjustments to its gold jewelry export tax rebate policy, the company is facing huge development difficulties.
Fuhui people were not intimidated by the difficulties in progress. In 2002, the company embarked on joint-stock reform, and the operating mechanism and incentive mechanism were effectively activated. The company's decision-makers reviewed the situation, adjusted the business strategy in a timely manner, seized Fuhui's good brand foundation, and relied on the good opportunities of the broad development prospects of the Haixi Economic Zone to quickly shift from a single export to both domestic and foreign sales, and formulated a plan to open up direct sales of jewelry in the province. The two-legged policy of Jinhang and department store counters across the country focuses on shaping the Haixi brand image, enhancing brand competitiveness, constantly transforming processing bases, increasing investment in human, financial and material resources to develop high-end products, while exploring new development ideas such as diversified operations, and creating the glory of the new decade.
