Traditional enterprises set fixed R & D funds

Houjie is the capital of furniture and shoe industry. In the eyes of the Chinese people, it is the place where traditional industries gather.

After the pain of the financial crisis, under the tide of "technology", the traditional industries in the town have no longer relied on OEM and OEM to earn meager profits.
