Linyi Yihe New Area is one of the four provincial-level new areas in the province, and it is also the "youngest" area in Mengshan Yishui.
Shouldering such a heavy responsibility, how can Yihe New Area activate the vitality of development? On July 15, Liu Hongchang, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and deputy editor-in-chief of Dazhong Newspaper Group (Dazhong Daily), had a dialogue with Gou Hongshui, member of the Standing Committee of the Linyi Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Yihe New District, and Dong Yanling, dean and professor of the Institute of Regional Economy of Shandong University of Finance and Economics, to see how Linyi Yihe New Area activates the "Yihe" and promotes the high-quality development of various undertakings.
Liu Hongchang: Yihe New Area is a young land with its own unique charm, first of all, please ask the mayor to introduce the basic situation of Yihe New Area.
Gou Hongshui: Yihe New Area is one of the four provincial-level new areas established by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, which was officially launched in November 2022 and is the main position of Linyi's economic development and a test field for reform and opening up.
The characteristics of the new district can be summed up by the four numbers "1234". "1" is the only area in the city that has three major platforms at the same time: the national economic development zone, the comprehensive bonded zone and the provincial new area, and the support policies at all levels are superimposed and empowered, making it the first choice for investment and entrepreneurship. "2" is located between the two major rivers of Yi River and Shu River, which is the main carrying place of Linyi from "development along the river" to "two rivers era", and is also an important birthplace of Dongyi culture. "3" is to focus on building the three leading industries of intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine, and optoelectronic new energy, cultivate and introduce leading enterprises such as Shandong Lingong, Gan & Lee Pharmaceutical, Gree Electric, and Pentium Laser, and be selected as the core bearing area of the national biomedical industry cluster and the top ten industrial goose formation clusters in Shandong Province, with a solid industrial foundation and broad development space. "4" means that we have implemented the provincial and municipal deployments, combined with the actual situation of the new area, established the four major goals and tasks of "strong industrial area, ecological city, harmonious countryside, and happy people's livelihood", and focused on ten key tasks such as industrial development, investment promotion, urban construction, and rural revitalization.
Liu Hongchang: Through Mayor Hongshui's introduction just now, we feel that all aspects of the work of the new district are actively moving forward, and have achieved remarkable results, showing a high-spirited momentum, and also showing the passionate spirit of the cadres of the new district.
Gou Hongshui: The driving force for development comes from reform. The new area itself is the product of reform, and we must always take reform as a "key move" to determine the fate, resolutely break the inertial thinking and path dependence, boldly try and break through, and constantly stimulate the entrepreneurial vitality of the whole society.
We have focused on three aspects of reform: First, we have given prominence to the reform of state-owned enterprises. Focusing on "doing large-scale, optimizing the main business, and strengthening characteristics", the original 8 state-owned enterprises in the district will be integrated into 3 state-owned enterprises, and the "urban investment will be transformed into production investment". We have successfully completed the corporate credit rating, with 2 companies receiving AA+ and 1 company receiving AA rating, ranking among the top in the city, which has greatly improved the financing ability and reduced the financing cost of enterprises. The second is to focus on deepening the reform of the park system. Adhere to the focus on the main business, flat management, integration and establishment of 6 industrial centers, under the direct management of the Party Working Committee and the Management Committee of the New District. On this basis, we should strip off social functions, select outstanding cadres who understand the economy, industry, and investment promotion to industrial centers, and establish mechanisms such as "whistle-blowing at the center, reporting to departments" and differentiated assessment, and concentrating on economic development. The third is to innovate and implement the reform of the fiscal and taxation system in towns and streets. Improve the financial incentives and guarantee measures for towns and streets, and the income generated by land transfer, "three capitals" clean-up, and park construction will be allocated to the towns and streets in proportion, and the "big pot rice" will be changed to "compared to work", so as to fully stimulate the enthusiasm of the town and street officials to start a business.
Liu Hongchang: President Dong, what do you think of Yihe New Area, as the strategic fulcrum of the province's innovation and reform and regional integrated development, has taken on the important task of becoming a new growth pole for Yimeng's economy in the new era?
Dong Yanling: Yihe New Area is to do addition by subtraction, first of all, the reform of state-owned enterprises has integrated 8 enterprises into 3, so that the differences of enterprises are more obvious and their functions are more clear. The second aspect is to implement flat management, focusing more on the industry, more on investment, and more on serving enterprises, which provides a good support for expanding the increment. The third subtraction method is to tilt resources to the grassroots through "subtracting me", so that they will have more enthusiasm for development, and mobilize the enthusiasm of the towns and streets, and the driving force of the entire development will be raised.
Liu Hongchang: As the growth pole of Linyi's economy, Yihe New Area not only shoulders the glorious mission of supporting Linyi's industrial "two trillion yuan", but also bears the important responsibility of paving the way and demonstrating for the county's industry.
Gou Hongshui: To promote high-quality development, industry is the leader and the first project. We focus on "advancing into 100 billion yuan", grasp the "quantity and quality of both improvement", and accelerate the development of new quality productivity. The first is to grasp the park and improve the energy level. The park as the main position of the strong industrial zone, planning and construction of intelligent manufacturing, circular economy, instrument technology, smart hardware and other 12 specialized small parks, each park to determine an industrial center or town street as the main body of responsibility, with a state-owned enterprise, to build a "one park, one industry, each with its own characteristics, dislocation development" pattern, to create an important carrier for cultivating industries and activating the town. The second is to grasp the project and promote production. Adhere to the project as the king, dynamically determine 118 key projects, focus on solving the bottlenecks of formalities, land, capital, demolition and other bottlenecks, and ensure that the project should be opened as much as possible, and the project should be built and invested quickly. The third is to grasp cultivation and strong support. Adhere to the priority of supporting the development of local backbone enterprises, roll out the implementation of "100 enterprise transformation, 100 technological transformation", encourage and guide enterprises to carry out projects, grasp innovation, and expand the market. In the first half of the year, 28 new provincial specialized and special new enterprises were approved, and 21 projects were included in the provincial key technological transformation projects, ranking first in the city. The investment in technological transformation was 3.48 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.7%, ranking second in the city in terms of total volume and first in terms of growth rate.
Liu Hongchang: We have learned that Yihe New Area not only attracts so-called large projects, but also differentiates and builds various types of industrial parks according to the different characteristics of different industries, so as to promote the refined and characteristic development of parks and industrial chains. May I ask Dean Dong, will this practice of intensive cultivation of small professional parks also be a trend in various places in the future?
Dong Yanling: The new area needs not only large projects, that is, towering trees, but also many trees, flowers and plants, and small saplings. Second, from the perspective of industrial agglomeration, the miniaturization and refinement of the park are more conducive to the construction of the industrial chain, for example, in the process of attracting investment, the industrial chain is more centralized and accurate, and more refined services can also be carried out when supporting services. The development of miniaturized and characteristic parks is a very important innovation.
Liu Hongchang: Mayor Hongshui, please briefly talk about your plans and make a message on the high-quality economic development of the district and county.
As one of the four provincial-level new areas in Shandong, we must live up to our mission and live up to the trust, focus on the new area to build a new highland for opening up, and set a good position and take the lead in the economic development of the county.
Liu Hongchang: Thank you Mayor Hongshui and President Dong for their wonderful exchanges. We also hope that Yihe New Area, as the only provincial-level new area in Linyi, is also the "youngest" area in Mengshan and Yishui, and can explore more "Yihe experience".
That's all for today's interview, see you next time!
