Zhang Zai · Northern Song · 11th century

Brand Origin / Why the name

A name taken from an eleventh-century text — and the standard a transfer firm is held to.

The company is named after the Four Sentences of Heng Qu, written by Zhang Zai in the Northern Song. Our reading is plain: commercializing research is not brokering a deal. It is returning knowledge to where it belongs — the factory floor and daily life. What a technology transfer professional does is translate laboratory certainty into market viability.

So we state the purpose without decoration: let technology find a market, and let researchers share the return. The first demands that we understand industry. The second demands that we understand the rules.

01 / Business Clusters

Five business clusters

We split the full chain of technology transfer into five capability clusters — each independently deliverable, each supporting the others. Together they carry the roles of cash flow, profit, compounding value, growth and premium.

01
Industrial Terminals & SaaSCash flow · Base load
Purpose-built hardware terminals that meet industry standards open real scenarios and act as the physical entry point for customer contact and data capture. Tiered annual subscriptions, application software and systems integration turn that footprint into recurring revenue.
02
Contract Research & University–Industry CollaborationProfit core
Across natural sciences, engineering, agricultural science and medical research, we take on commissioned research and horizontal projects for government and industry, and provide technology development, transfer and consulting — connecting laboratory results to industrial application.
03
Intellectual Property & IP CapitalizationHigh margin · Compounding
From IP confirmation, valuation, balance-sheet recognition, trading and licensing through to investment banking and IP-backed securitization (ABS). We turn certificates into assets that can be priced, traded and financed.
04
Cross-border Services Trade & Regional CooperationCross-border · Growth
Cross-border technical services, offshore R&D, cross-border IP licensing and international services trade. Deep engagement with Belt and Road and RCEP partners, on a network anchored in the Greater Bay Area, linked to Hong Kong, Macao and the Taiwan region, and reaching RCEP and Belt and Road markets.
05
Think Tank & Industry AdvisoryAdvisory · Capability monetized
Top-level industrial planning and policy analysis, end-to-end capital markets advisory, standards and regulatory alignment, and an expert network — from strategic positioning to execution, run as one integrated practice.
02 / Two-Way Enablement

Inbound and outbound: technology only gains value when it moves.

Inbound

Technology sourcing

We bring overseas technology, teams and R&D capability to Chinese companies, covering the whole path from technology identification and due diligence to industrial landing.

  • Global technology scouting and a technology-source network
  • Technology evaluation, due diligence and proof of concept
  • Licensing, joint ventures and joint laboratories
  • Standards and regulatory alignment

Outbound

Global landing

We find overseas markets and use cases for Chinese technology, products and standards, with Belt and Road and RCEP as the priority regions for localisation.

  • Cross-border transfer and market access
  • Offshore R&D and offshore incubation
  • Cross-border IP licensing and technology trade (FDI)
  • International transfer hubs and multilateral platforms
03 / Global Context

The international
cooperation landscape we work in

4SHQ is embedded in global innovation and trade networks. Building on our cross-border transfer base, we deepen cooperation with Belt and Road partners and global players on joint R&D, mutual recognition of standards and market access.
