Centered around the core theme of “Where does the funding come from, where is it invested, and how can it be recovered to generate profits” for fixed-asset investment projects, the company takes project financing and investment as its entry point for engineering consulting. Adopting a multidimensional perspective—from the viewpoints of governments, enterprises, and banks—it conducts comprehensive analyses to address the challenges faced by local governments and enterprises in their reform and development processes. The company has proposed a high-quality, sustainable development concept for county-level economies: “Fiscal funds ensure operational stability, while state-owned enterprises guarantee growth.” Furthermore, it innovatively puts forward a methodology for building a “funding pool” for county-level economic development by leveraging the central guiding role of fiscal funds, mobilizing funds from policy banks, attracting funds from commercial banks and social capital, tapping into other idle funds available in society, and thereby driving high-quality, sustainable development of county-level economies.

The team excels at understanding the country’s macroeconomic and financial policies, and conducts in-depth research and analysis on the pain points, challenges, and bottlenecks in county-level economic development. It has accumulated extensive practical experience in areas such as revitalizing local government resources and assets, reforming state-owned enterprises, promoting market-oriented transformation, enhancing financing capabilities, and preventing debt risks. The team consistently regards project investment and financing as the key lever for engineering consulting, continuously helping local governments and enterprises overcome difficulties in major project construction. Starting with planning consultations and research studies, and using project consulting as the main approach, the team provides comprehensive, end-to-end, full-lifecycle consulting services—including project proposals, feasibility studies, investment and financing consulting, cost estimation, appraisal, construction management, industry introduction, industrial operations, PPP projects, asset valuation, and funding application—to address the bottlenecks hindering high-quality economic development at the local level.

Adhering to the corporate culture of “far-sighted wisdom, moral integrity that supports great undertakings, and benefits future generations,” the company is based in Beijing and conducts engineering consulting services nationwide. To date, it has provided policy interpretation, specialized guidance on investment and financing, research studies, mid-term evaluations of the 14th Five-Year Plan, asset revitalization, transformation and upgrading of state-owned enterprises, and full-lifecycle, end-to-end engineering consulting services—including applications for fiscal funding for projects (covering central budget funds, special local government bonds, long-term special national bonds, etc.)—in provinces and cities including Beijing, Jilin, Henan, Hubei, Chongqing, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Tibet, and Qinghai.
