In 1986, during the first academic exchange conference of Chinese guzheng art, Director Lu met a special person. The appearance of this person has left a deep impression on the development history of the first-ever guzheng.

This person took the initiative to find Director Lu. After some introduction, Director Lu learned that this person was the Director of the Shanghai National Musical Instrument No. 1 Factory.

Director Chang came to participate in the Guzheng Exchange Conference and had an important task.

This task is to find Director Lu and discuss a major matter with him.

What's the big deal? It's a joint venture.

The word joint venture is very contemporary. In the 1980s, this thing was quite popular.

What is a joint venture, to put it more simply, it is a powerful alliance.

The guzheng produced by our factory was purchased by Shanghai National Musical Instrument No.1 Factory and operated cooperatively.

It is not groundless for the Shanghai National Musical Instrument No.1 Factory to jointly operate with our factory.

The other party has done a lot of research. During the National Guzheng Exchange Conference, the factory manager personally came to review it. In the end, I was convinced by the excellent quality of our factory's products. It was too late to return to Shanghai, and the decision to join forces was made during the exchange meeting.

Director Lu was moved by the sincerity of the other party and agreed to the request for a joint venture. This joint venture lasted for four years.

After the joint operation between the two parties, the Shanghai National Musical Instrument No. 1 Factory sent a resident technical representative to participate in the production and guidance of Guzheng.

This resident technical representative has a lot of background.

His name is Xu Zhengao.

Xu Zhengao, a famous guzheng master and national senior technician, is the founder of modern guzheng stereotypes, and is known as the "father of guzheng" in the industry.

Shanghai National Musical Instrument No. 1 Factory dispatched the backbone of the factory, which shows the importance attached to cooperation.

This guarantees our factory from business to technology. More importantly, the production skills of Yangzhou zither represented by our factory have been greatly improved.
