Assimilation capability is the key to enterprise expansion. Enterprise expansion is the process of establishing rules and assimilating others through these rules. The principle of affirmation priority: affirmation is more important than exploitation. The principle of affirmation priority includes three layers of meaning: 1.

Assimilation expansion is divided into two parts: one is to establish rules and strengthen internally; the other is assimilation expansion. The order must not be reversed. Enterprise expansion is a topic of great interest in the industry and a necessary path in the development process of any enterprise, an issue that no enterprise can avoid.
