They are encouraged to become shareholders of local enterprises by offering their patented technologies, the official said. Shanghai has benefited a great deal from some 60,000 foreign experts employed by the metropolis over the past five years. The Shanghai Organic Fluorine Material Research Institute, for example, has achieved millions of dollars in revenues with the help of foreign technological advisers.
