In recent years, Longhai has focused on the core pathway of “Four-Chain” (the industrial chain, innovation chain, capital chain, and talent chain) integration, with government and enterprises working in unison towards progress. Regarding the industrial chain, precise layouts have been made around linking “grain cultivation to food processing”, forming a new industrial structure characterized by seamless upstream-downstream connections and multi-chain synergy. On the innovation chain, efforts have been made to actively integrate high-end intellectual resources, enabling innovation to empower industrial upgrading. For the capital chain, bridges have been built to guide the precise flow of financial resources into the real economy. Concerning the talent chain, a dual strategy of attracting and cultivating talent has been implemented, gradually forming a distinct, multi-tiered, and well-structured “talent formation”.
