Nine years, one city.
From 2013 to 2022,
In the past, the jujube forest here turned blue waves; now, the Guangsha here has become a forest.
In the long river of time, from the "speed economy" of nuggets to the construction of new cities according to "empty".
The industrial agglomeration effect is becoming increasingly prominent, and the landing of a series of high-tech industries has continuously touched the "new height of the port area" of industrial upgrading.
The ZAEZ (abbreviation for Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone), as spoken by John Cassada, founder of the "Aerotropolis" concept, is moving from concept to reality.
On March 7, 2013, the State Council officially approved the "Development Plan for the Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone (2013-2025)", which is the first airport economic development pilot zone in China to be elevated to a national strategy.
After nine years of development, this aviation city has become a wing of the Central Plains, flying farther and farther. It has become an important node for Henan Province to integrate into the global cycle and connect the domestic and foreign double cycles.
Today, we look back at the 9-year development of the airport experimental zone in a sketch way.
From a runway to a "aviation + high-speed rail" dual hub
Under the background of the wave of globalization, airports have become routers for the Internet of Things, driving changes in the relationship between airports and cities.
From a runway and T1 terminal in 2013, to the "double runway, double terminal" in 2015, to the "4 runway, 3 terminal" currently under construction at Zhengzhou Airport.
Apple mobile phones, monocrystalline silicon wafers with frequent flights from here to the world; Australian tuna, Chilean cherries, Japanese and Korean cosmetics are transported by plane and quickly reach the hands of domestic consumers...
The "Air Silk Road" has become more and more extensive, and the construction of the "Air Silk Road" from Zhengzhou to Luxembourg has been opened to the current Henan-Cambodia-ASEAN "Air Silk Road".
Data witnesses development. The cargo volume of Zhengzhou Airport has increased by 6 times in 10 years, and the industry rank has increased from 20th in the country to 6th. From 2012 to 2021, the total import and export volume of the airport area increased from 175.9 billion yuan to 524.6 billion yuan, ranking fourth among all kinds of development zones in the country, with an average annual growth rate of 12.9%, accounting for 64% of the province.
On March 2, Zhengzhou South Railway Station, which is only 6 kilometers away from Zhengzhou Airport, opened the catenary engineering test of hot slip test trains, which is one step closer to opening. In the future, the three-dimensional transportation advantages of "aviation + high-speed rail" dual-core drive and "iron public aircraft" multimodal transport in the airport experimental area will be further highlighted.
Witnessed by the rapid development of the cross-border e-commerce industry, a "1+1+7" three-dimensional port system with multiple types, full functions and high efficiency is rapidly taking shape in the airport experimental zone, boosting Zhengzhou to accelerate its development into an international logistics hub.
From the "jujube wasteland" to the new engine of industry
Subcontracting, signing, labeling... In less than a minute, a cross-border import package was packaged and cleared. This is the operation scene of the assembly line staff in the e-commerce bonded warehouse of the cross-border e-commerce bonded logistics center in Zhengzhou Xinzheng Comprehensive Insurance Zone on March 3.
"Ten years ago, my hometown village was surrounded by jujube forest wasteland. I didn't expect that ten years later, I would be able to do cross-border business near my home, and I felt a little trance! On the assembly line, Yang Long, a young man from Zaochen Village (later assigned to the Airport Experimental Zone) in the former Xinzheng Eight Thousand Township, said with emotion. Also feeling trance-like about the rapid rise of the airport experimental zone is Yang Xiaofeng, a "pioneer cow", who came to the airport experimental zone in 2013 and successively served in the party and government office of the management committee of the airport experimental zone and the China Merchants Bureau, and is currently the director of the science and technology talent bureau of the airport experimental zone.
From eating "closed door soup" to "butterfly effect", this is Yang Xiaofeng's biggest feeling about the investment changes in the airport experimental area. From the initial "blueprint" to go around attracting business and annoying people, to later taking the manufacturer to visit and cooperate on the spot, he has too many feelings about this change.
During the 10 minutes he interviewed, the phone rang from time to time. Of the 4 phone calls received, all related to the enterprise landing service, one of which was also a call from a Spanish merchant.
Although the sea has been a flash in the past 9 years, the airport experimental zone has grabbed the "fifth shock wave" of air transport, vigorously cultivated the airport economy, and attracted the global industrial chain and supply chain agglomeration through investment promotion and project construction, and realized the "curve overtaking" of the industry.
Here, it has rapidly risen as a new engine for Henan's industrial industry.
The latest statistics show that the operating income of the four enterprises in the region exceeded 600 billion yuan, reaching 636.5 billion yuan, an increase of 24.7% year-on-year; the total industrial output value exceeded 400 billion yuan, reaching 417.45 billion yuan, an increase of 31% year-on-year. The formation of an industrial system led by high-end and supported by multiple points has accelerated.
In 2021, 35 new projects will be signed, with a signed amount of 70 billion yuan.
Foxconn's industrial agglomeration continued to accelerate, and BYD new energy vehicles, super-fusion servers, Fuchi intelligent terminal motherboards and other tens of billions of projects were signed. A number of projects such as Sinovel Optoelectronics and SF were successfully completed and put into operation.
From obscurity to "city of innovation"
The signing of the contract on September 9, 2021, the completion of the company registration on September 22, the delisting of the land on October 8, and the official start of construction on October 16, from the signing of the contract to the start of construction, BYD's new energy project landed in the airport experimental area in only 37 days.
"With the strong support of the airport experimental area, the superconvection production line took only 55 days from site selection, construction to trial production." Lu Bo, president of the supply and manufacturing department of Super Fusion Digital Technology Co., Ltd., recalled that on December 18 last year, the first server of the Zhengzhou production line was successfully rolled off the production line, and it is expected to reach a delivery capacity of 200,000 units per year.
From the "port" to the city, what is the gorgeous butterfly code of the airport experimental area, there are many answers, but one option will definitely be recognized by many people, that is, speed and innovation.
In 2013, the "through train" system between the airport area and the provincial department was established;
A number of national innovation pilot platforms have been approved, such as the Double Innovation Demonstration Base, the Wisdom Introduction Pilot Zone, and the RMB Innovation Pilot;
Explore the implementation of a series of reforms and innovations such as export tax rebate fund pool, supply chain finance, selective taxation, and port warehouse inward migration;
Promulgated the first creative local legislation of the Mainland Aviation Economic Zone, the Regulations on the Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone;
Fully implement the measure of "signing the contract to get the land, get the land and start construction", and explore the "one-stop" service mechanism from planning to production...
As a national strategic aviation economic development pilot zone, the airport area has explored a large number of reform and innovation measures since its approval, and has bred many industries and platforms leading scientific and technological innovation.
Up to now, the airport experimental zone has been approved to identify 122 R&D platforms at or above the municipal level and 11 incubators at or above the municipal level. The "Zhengzhou Base of the Institute of Software of the Chinese Academy of Sciences", the "Airport Artificial Intelligence Research Institute" of the academician team of Zheng Zhiming of Beihang Airlines, and the "Zhengzhou New Materials Digital Intelligent Manufacturing Research Institute" of dr. Jiang Jun's team of the University of Science and Technology of China have been successively introduced; the "Henan Biomedical CXO Integrated Pilot Base" built by the Linkong Biomedical Park has been approved as one of the first 8 pilot bases in Henan Province.
While improving the infrastructure and innovating the carrier system, the airport area is also sparing no effort to promote the attraction of talents.
The Airport Experimental Zone has successively introduced the "Talent Strong Zone" policy and the "Five-Five Gathering talents" policy to create a talent environment that keeps people in mind. "High-level talents can carry their bags to stay in talent apartments, foreigners work in China one-stop processing, and there are also green channel services such as children's school enrollment and medical treatment." Guo Xin, director of the Talent Division of the Hong Kong District Science and Technology Talents Bureau, introduced it.
From a blank piece of paper to a painting of a "happy new city"
Butterflies grow majestically!
In the past 9 years, a large number of transportation, ecological environmental protection, social undertakings and other projects have landed in the airport experimental zone, continuously consolidating the foundation for its long-term economic and social development. Through three years of image, five years of scale, ten years of new city building, the entire airport experimental area has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Opening the urban map of the airport experimental area, under the trend of continuous expansion of the urban development framework, regional construction is advancing by leaps and bounds, and great changes in ecology, industry, commerce and so on are interpreting the growth path of a new city, the urban functions are becoming more and more perfect, and the image of the city is changing with each passing day, and it is bursting with infinite vitality.
Garden Expo Garden Pavilions, Yuanling Ancient City Six Gardens and Nine Pavilions, Shuanghe Lake Park is comparable to New York Central Park, "Crane Spirit" musical fountain is magnificent... Tall buildings have been erected on the former farmland and wasteland, parks have been integrated into the city, green spaces have returned to life, and the beautiful vision of "forest, water and city" blending with each other and harmonious coexistence between man and nature is taking root.
In 2021, the Provincial Staff Cultural and Sports Center of the Airport Experimental Zone was completed and put into use, and the South Branch of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University was opened, and the results of the recruitment achieved "six consecutive increases". Zhengzhou University of Light Industry, Pan American Aviation Vocational College and other university projects have accelerated the landing, and the city's functions have been further enriched.
Industrial agglomeration, talent influx, urban support, economic development, the formation of a positive cycle. This hot land is undergoing changes and transformations, and it is also pregnant with opportunities and surprises.
Hua Zhang will continue, just waiting for good news.
