At the southern end of Qingyuan City, bordering Huadu District of Guangzhou, there is a magical land with a total area of 109.5 square kilometers - the streets here are wide and clean, the cars on the road, the people on the streets are orderly; the government workers here are enthusiastic and polite, and they know their business situation; the enterprises here are full of vitality, the factory gate vehicles come in and out, and the employees in the park wear uniforms and are full of energy... Here is the Qingyuan High-tech Industrial Development Zone (referred to as "Qingyuan High-tech Zone").
Qingyuan High-tech Zone was formerly known as the Guangdong Qingyuan Poverty Alleviation Economic Development Pilot Zone established in 1991, which was established as the Qingyuan High-tech Industrial Development Zone of Guangdong Province with the consent of the provincial government in 2003, was identified as a provincial-level high-tech industrial development zone in 2011, and upgraded to a national high-tech industrial development zone with the approval of the State Council in September 2015.
Since the upgrading of the national high-tech zone, the national ranking of Qingyuan High-tech Zone has risen for five consecutive years, rising from 112th in 2016 to 96th in 2020 in the comprehensive ranking of national high-tech zones, becoming the fastest growing national high-tech zone in Guangdong Province, and the only national high-tech zone in eastern Guangdong and western Guangdong to enter the top 100.
The development of 20 years has made Qingyuan High-tech Zone an important engine for Qingyuan's economic development and a beautiful business card for Qingyuan's economy to show to the outside world. Even in 2020, which is deeply affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Qingyuan High-tech Zone has also achieved good results: 160 industrial enterprises above designated size in the core area have completed a total industrial output value of 36.561 billion yuan and an industrial added value of 6.59 billion yuan, an increase of 4.3% year-on-year; the investment in fixed assets in the whole society is 6.949 billion yuan, an increase of 21.5% year-on-year, of which the industrial investment is 1.572 billion yuan, an increase of 8.9% year-on-year...
In addition to the hard power "power", the soft power of Qingyuan High-tech Zone is also prominent: the introduction of Tencent South China Cloud Computing Base, Zhonghua Cotton Yarn Trading Headquarters, Dream Valley and other heavy projects more than 50; the establishment of four industrial funds with a total scale of 1.555 billion yuan, creating a precedent for Qingyuan Industrial Fund; cooperation with Sun Yat-sen University, South China University of Technology, South China Normal University to build three science and technology platforms officially put into use; enterprises in the zone Haomei New Materials and Jushi Chemical have been listed successively; approved the National Torch High-performance Structural Materials Characteristic Industrial Base. There are 17 national brand brands such as the National Intellectual Property Pilot Park.
In 2020, the number of patents authorized in the region was 1609, and 518 effective invention patents were granted. As of July this year, there were 122 high-tech enterprises in Qingyuan High-tech Zone.
This inevitably makes people wonder, what is it that makes the high-tech newcomers harvest heavy fruits?
"Peek and know the whole leopard". In fact, from the measures of building a dense transportation network on roads such as Qinghui South Road and improving basic supporting facilities such as water and electricity supply, it can be seen that the Qingyuan High-tech Zone has an advanced vision of "soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass have gone first" From the investment of 1.26 billion yuan to build an electronic information industrial park, focusing on the layout of a green low-carbon zero-emission smart park with high-end high-quality electronic enterprises as the core, it can be seen that Qingyuan High-tech Zone keeps up with the innovation consciousness of the times; from the strategic deployment of planning Lianhu Cultural Tourism Industry New City and building a fashion and leisure center in South China, we can know the overall awareness of Qingyuan High-tech Zone guided by the situation...
Next, this newspaper will dig deeper into the story behind the improvement of infrastructure construction such as road network in Qingyuan High-tech Zone, the construction of an electronic information industry park, and the planning of Lianhu Cultural Tourism New City, and unveil the mystery of its high-quality development.
Interview:
Zhou Qixian, director of the management committee of Qingyuan High-tech Zone: The introduction of enterprises should be in line with the industrial development direction of the high-tech zone
Standing in the opening year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", Qingyuan National High-tech Zone put forward three major visions for future development: to rebuild a national high-tech zone in 5 years, to build a national first-class specialized industrial park and to achieve the national ranking of Qingyuan National High-tech Zone to achieve "sitting on three and competing for one".
How to understand the three visions? How to ensure the supply of land elements? How to promote the quality and efficiency of existing enterprises in the zone? The author recently interviewed Zhou Qixian, director of the Qingyuan National High-tech Zone Management Committee, on the above issues.
1. How difficult is it for Qingyuan National High-tech Zone to realize the vision of "rebuilding a high-tech zone in 5 years"?
Zhou Qixian: In 2020, the industrial production value of Qingyuan National High-tech Zone is 36.1 billion yuan, and if we want to achieve "rebuilding a high-tech zone in 5 years", then the output value will reach 80 billion yuan. That is to say, in these 5 years, we must complete the road of the previous 28 years of the high-tech zone.
Frankly, we think it's entirely achievable. Despite the impact of the epidemic, in the first half of 2021, the economic growth rate of the high-tech zone reached 62.8%. In 2020, affected by the epidemic, the economic growth rate of the high-tech zone is very small, but even according to the comprehensive accounting of the two years, the average growth rate has reached more than 30%. With the full resumption of work and production of enterprises, the economic growth rate in the second half of the year is expected to remain relatively high-speed growth. By the end of this year, our output value is expected to exceed 50 billion yuan.
2. How to understand the other two visions proposed in the "14th Five-Year Plan" of Qingyuan National High-tech Zone?
Zhou Qixian: Qingyuan National High-tech Zone should build a modern industrial system, and we believe that the future first-class industrial park should have the "four modernizations" standards: digitalization, intelligence, specialization and greening.
The "sitting on three looks and two competing for one" refers to striving to enter the second echelon on the basis of ranking in the third echelon of the newly promoted national high-tech zone, and striving to enter the first echelon of the newly promoted national high-tech zone at the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan. In the industry, the top 50 of the national high-tech zone is generally the "old brand" of the high-tech zone, which is considered to have an absolute advantage that cannot be shaken, and in the newly promoted national high-tech zone, the ranking of the 51st to 71st is the first echelon, the 71st to the 91st is the second echelon, and the 91st is the third echelon. Qingyuan National High-tech Zone ranked 96th in 2020, if our goal of rebuilding a high-tech zone in 5 years can be achieved, and the output value can reach 80 billion yuan, then we may be promoted to the second echelon, and even launch an impact on the first echelon.
3. According to the "14th Five-Year Plan" of Qingyuan National High-tech Zone, the land use factor has become the biggest bottleneck in the high-tech zone to promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, which seriously affects the landing and development of the project. How can the management committee of the high-tech zone achieve a breakthrough in the dilemma of extreme lack of land elements?
Zhou Qixian: We spent 260 million yuan to purchase nearly 2,000 mu of industrial land savings from neighboring counties, according to the land use plan of the high-tech zone, the land use index of this batch of land is placed in the "electronic information industrial park" built by Qingyuan High-tech Zone, and the planned land scale of the park is 2800 mu. Next, we will also purchase the second batch of 700 acres of industrial land indicators, and strive to build the electronic information industry park into a first-class industrial park in China, so that this industrial park can become an important engine for the rapid economic development of the high-tech zone.
In addition, the high-tech zone also used the combination of "cage for birds" and "standardized factory building". The core of "cage for birds" is to "clear up and dispose of some approved unsupplied, idle land and inefficient land, and some planned high-energy industrial land is recycled and transferred to high-quality enterprises".
At present, the high-tech zone is revitalizing idle land and promoting the construction of standard factories. We have revitalized 2,800 acres of land to build 4.7 million square meters of standardized factories, and are expected to invest 1.26 billion yuan, according to the calculation of 10,000 square meters per enterprise, this batch of standardized factories can accommodate 470 enterprises and solve the employment of more than 50,000 people. At present, more than 90 enterprises have settled in and completed the commissioning work, and will soon be put into production, all of which are newly added enterprises.
4. In terms of investment promotion, how does Qingyuan National High-tech Zone screen the enterprises stationed there? How to promote the expansion and quality of existing enterprises?
Zhou Qixian: In the past, we used to pull projects everywhere, and now we are selecting projects. The enterprises we introduce should have a gain for the development of the high-tech zone, or be in line with the development direction of our industrial structure. The high-tech zone has clear guidance for enterprises entering the park, and the core lies in focusing on the precise investment promotion of the industrial chain, focusing on the leading industries, and actively docking the industrial resources of the Greater Bay Area and the non-capital function relief projects in Beijing in accordance with the goals of extending the chain, supplementing the chain and strengthening the chain.
For the expansion and quality improvement of existing enterprises, we have different practices for enterprises in the region. For the enterprises on the regulations, one is to increase the efficiency and expand the production of existing plants; the second is to promote the upgrading through technological transformation and construction; the third is to try every means to solve the land bottleneck of leading high-quality enterprises to create an upstream and downstream industrial chain, forming a scale of tens of billions. For enterprises under the regulations, in accordance with the Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Revitalization and Utilization of Inefficient Industrial Land, we have adopted measures such as energy consumption, environmental protection, and taxation to force enterprises to transform and upgrade, reorganize and co-build, and negotiate recycling to improve land output.
Number says:
In the past five years, Qingyuan High-tech Zone has continuously improved in the ranking of national high-tech zones, and is the first high-tech zone in eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong and northern Guangdong to enter the national "top 100", ranking 96th in 2020.
