The collision, exchange and fusion of Hainan and Fenjiu have a special resonance.

From the Hainan Special Economic Zone to the Hainan Pilot Free Trade Zone, Hainan has always been a pioneer and a leader in reform. While in Baijiu industry, Fenjiu is the pioneer of reform. From the first stock of Baijiu, to Shanxi Province state-owned enterprise reform pilot, Fenjiu has been flashing the glory of reform in its development.

In addition to the strong resonance on spirit and culture of reform, internationalization also closely links Hainan and Fenjiu.

Hainan was at the forefront of China's opening to the world. As early as the Han and Tang dynasties, Hainan was the only place on the Maritime Silk Road and played an important role in world trade. In the late Qing Dynasty, with the development of The Southern Ocean, Hainan developed rapidly with its special geographical position in Southeast Asia, and had close business contacts with Southeast Asia and many developed regions in the world. More than a dozen developed countries and regions set up consulates in Haikou.

Fenjiu, as a model of national industry, crossed the ocean in 1915 and won the highest honor of the Panama World Exposition Medallion, opening a century of international history and becoming an important representative of the connection between Baijiu and the world market.

In recent years, Fenjiu's national market has been opened, and the markets outside the Shanxi province represented by Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta have performed well. In 2021, Fenjiu's market in south of the Yangtze River will grow by more than 60% on average. Yuan Qingmao, the party secretary and chairman of Fenjiu Group, pointed out that Fenjiu should move to a better structure, better efficiency and higher quality, which should "focus on the optimization of market structure, seize the market heights of the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, and consider the internationalization and national layout of Fenjiu integrally".

Hainan is the highland that Fenjiu must seize for the Pearl River Delta market, and the bridgehead for Fenjiu to continue to develop overseas markets and continuously improve the international brand image of Fenjiu.

In 2021, Shanxi Xinghuacun Fenjiu International Trade Co., Ltd. set up an office in Hainan. This indicates that Fenjiu will have a greater breakthrough in the international market in 2022.
