福州：一個西班牙人的第二故鄉(xiāng)

對于西班牙人大衛(wèi)·桑切斯來說，福建福州不僅是一個適合創(chuàng)業(yè)的地方，也是他的第二故鄉(xiāng)。

For Spaniard David Sanchez, Fuzhou, Fujian Province, is not only a suitable place for entrepreneurship but also his second hometown. “My wife and I are quite adaptable to life in Fuzhou. In our leisure time, we like going hiking or to the parks. We feel our home is here,” he said in Chinese.

He came to Fuzhou in 2011 and now works as a sales manager of a trade company in the Fuzhou area of the China (Fujian) Pilot Free Trade Zone. “We import olive oil and export hotel supplies to Mexico and electric products to Spain,” said Sanchez. “Next, we will expand cooperation with more suppliers and brand owners.”

The Fuzhou area of the Fujian FTZ was established seven years ago. It has put forward many innovations and measures to provide better services and to facilitate foreign trade. For example, he got a visa within several working days and the period of validity was extended to five years. Many things can be done by submitting information online.

“When we first came here, I really felt that my personal development direction was vague,” Sanchez said. “But now I feel more clear. The import and export projects are stable and developing quite well.”

There is a slang phrase in the Fuzhou dialect, meaning, “Although I have been to many places, my heart is still attached to Fuzhou and I cannot leave it.” Now, he keeps it on his tongue.
