As a park within a park in the free trade zone, the industrial park is positioned around "incubating innovative financial SMEs + incubating fund headquarters," and adopts an innovative management model that is "enterprise-led with government support as a supplement" for the first time. Centered on the strategic vision of "real economy + internet finance," the park has established multiple factor platforms and internet finance functional centers. It provides one-stop extended internet finance services tailored to the needs of enterprises in the park. The industrial park aggregates the information flow and capital flow of cross-border e-commerce and combines this with bonded logistics to fully promote the transformation and upgrading of the bonded zone.

Tempus International,a listed company under Tempus Group, has gradually strengthened its TMC travel management and OTA online travel businesses on the foundation of traditional B2B airline ticket distribution. It has also developed internet finance businesses based on its industrial foundation, and its "business travel + finance" dual-driven strategy has continued to evolve. Tempus International has successively incubated the third-party payment brand Tenpay, the microfinance brand Rongyixing, the P2P lending brand Tempus Venture, and will also engage in insurance brokerage and other financial businesses. Both Rongyixing and Tempus Venture are registered in Qianhai, leveraging the advantages of Qianhai to become the main forces behind Tempus International’s financial innovations.

The experimental field of Qianhai stimulates the innovation gene of local Shenzhen enterprises. For Tempus, the release of Qianhai’s policy dividends will accelerate the implementation of the company’s strategic transformation and upgrading. By settling into the Qianhai Enterprise Mansion, Tempus hopes to continue drawing on Qianhai’s innovative thinking, promote deeper development of the enterprise, complete its own strategic deployment, and seize the timing and demands of the transition from traditional industries to the mobile internet new economic era. The move into Qianhai is more of a strategic consideration for Tempus to expand its industrial scale, accelerate its transformation into a modern innovative service-oriented enterprise, and reshape its corporate structure. In the future, it will focus on these areas to achieve extension and transformation into the mobile internet and financial sectors. Based in Qianhai, Tempus will leverage the comprehensive policy system and advantages built by Qianhai in areas such as finance, taxation, law, and talent to support enterprise innovation and development. For example, Tempus actively explores the cross-border lending pioneered domestically by Qianhai as a beneficial attempt to broaden new financing channels.
