1. Comprehensive upgrade of living support for high-end industry leaders

The district government grants a settlement allowance of 2 to 10 million yuan ($317,196 to $1.59 million) to every officially-elected "High-end Industrial Leader" who lands a full-time job in Nansha. For those who work for over three months but on a temporary basis, there are still allowances of 300 to 500 yuan per day. For Nobel Prize laureates and fellows of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) or Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), the corresponding allowance is 1,000 yuan per day.

Additionally, every "High-end Industrial Leader" is gifted a "High-end Talent Card", which provide 12 conveniences, including administration, medical care, traffic services, customs clearance, housing, household registration, children's school attendance, consumer discounts, and financial services.
