Since the previous year, a large number of production lines have been pouring in one after another. The coastal areas of China are undoubtedly becoming downstream zones for international industrial transfer, which seems to be a wise choice for both multinational corporations and China. Hundreds and thousands of colored wires, refrigerator wires, washing machine wires, and video recorder wires are being installed day and night. Soon, the "Warring States Era" of China's home appliance industry is coming. Speed has become the most important indicator. In Tianjin, a record was set for introducing a German motorcycle production line in 22 days, which was widely spread as an advanced achievement.

As commented in a report by the Financial Times on February 27, 1985, "Even small factories in China are looking for foreign joint ventures to help them modernize their businesses. Chinese people are now much more organized and well-informed than five years ago." In October, Newsweek vividly described in its article "Chinese Search for Useful Old Equipment": "A group of engineers, technicians, and packers arrived in the industrial city of Valmont, France, working day and night to dismantle all the equipment from the bankrupt Bocknecht refrigerator factory and load 5000 tons of equipment onto ships. By plane and train, they will depart for a factory in Tianjin where they will be reassembled into a production line that produces 2000 new refrigerators per day.
