Since the introduction of four experienced R & D experts on auto parts from the US last year, Ningbo Jianxin Zhaos' Group has accelerated its pace of new product development. So far, the introduced overseas engineers have successfully developed 30 new products for the enterprise and helped to solve the 11 technical problems that have lasted for over two years.

In the recent years, Ningbo has made great progress in talent introduction with its implementation of the strategy of talents internalization, especially with the policy of encouraging "overseas engineer introduction" and providing subsidies to related enterprises (a maximum of 600,000 yuan) in 2010. Within two years, over 400 overseas engineers were introduced, who have designed and developed nearly 300 new products, applied for or got 200 patents, and brought a newly-added product value of over 8 billion yuan and a newly-added profit and tax of about 300,000 yuan for the enterprises.
