On February 20, Tan Xuguang led a delegation from Shandong Heavy Industry and Weichai Power to Tokyo to visit Orix Group. Japan Orix Group CEO Inoue Ryo, executive director, Greater China President Li Hao led the management team to warmly receive. The two sides held talks and exchanges on expanding cooperation.

Inoue Ryo welcomed the visit of Tan Xuguang and his delegation, saying that he was grateful to his old friends for visiting me in Tokyo again. It is hoped that the two sides will deepen business cooperation in the leasing of new energy vehicles in Japan in the future. We also have an investment company in Qingdao, Shandong Province. We hope Mr. Tan will pay attention to us and provide some development suggestions.

Tan Xuguang said that the cooperation projects between Shandong Heavy Industry Group and Japan Orix Group in Southeast Asia and Japan have broad prospects. On February 18, after the high-level opening and high-quality Investment Promotion Conference of Shandong Province, I came to Japan for the first stop to discuss cooperation. I hope Orix Group of Japan will continue to expand its investment in Shandong. I will do my best to provide consulting support for Orix's development in China, especially in Shandong, and further expand the scope of cooperation between the two sides!

Orix is Japan's largest provider of car finance leasing. On November 3, 2023, Shandong Heavy Industry and Japan Orix Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement on product export financial support at the Shandong Key equipment manufacturing project promotion meeting.
