Lu Zhilin, Lu Shenglin, Zhang Zhiping and his wife, Wang Chenghai and his wife... They are the 14 "newcomers" selected by Dongguan in this year's 100 rich list.
Who they are may just be the material for a public "eating melon", and what industries they come from, which is more worthy of our deep thinking. Because behind it is the industrial change of Dongguan city, the change of development logic.
"Scientific and technological innovation" is their biggest common denominator. "'Science and technology to create wealth' is the goal of Dongguan's '14th Five-Year Plan', if we want to draw priorities, this is my focus." At the beginning of this year, Xiao Yafei, the current secretary of the Dongguan Municipal Party Committee, said at a public occasion, "If there is no scientific and technological innovation, our so-called new road is an empty word." If an enterprise does not have the ability to continuously innovate, it will not be able to keep up with development. ”

The Dongguan list of Hurun Rich List witnesses a microcosm of Dongguan's industrial changes, and another corroboration comes from the data of listed companies in Dongguan, and more and more enterprises have landed in the A-share market with core technologies. The combination of "scientific and technological innovation + advanced manufacturing" has become the biggest urban background in Dongguan and the biggest competitive underpinning.
Dongguan industrial changes The ability of science and technology to create wealth is prominent
"From our list of the 100 richest people, we can see that the structure and scale of Wealth Creation in China have changed very quickly in recent years, and half of the nearly 3,000 entrepreneurs on the list this year were not listed five years ago." When Hurun introduced the list of the richest people, he said that twenty years ago, entrepreneurs engaged in agriculture ranked high, and none of the top ten at that time are still in the top ten. Ten years ago, the proportion of entrepreneurs working in real estate was higher. Five years ago, the percentage of entrepreneurs working on the Internet rose. This year, the proportion of entrepreneurs engaged in new energy-related industries has risen, and the threshold has increased from the initial 3.5 billion to the current 193 billion. Manufacturing, big health, real estate, chemicals and financial investment are the top five sources of wealth for entrepreneurs on the list.
Landing in Dongguan, this list is also changing, of course, manufacturing has always been the base camp of the rich. 5 years ago, Dongguan 32 rich people on the list, Nine Dragons Paper Zhang Yin family with 45 billion yuan (RMB) ranked 41st on the list, is Dongguan's "richest man", shortlisted in the list of Dongguan rich people mainly engaged in intelligent manufacturing, medicine, its enterprises are mostly "three new" enterprises (economic development of new industries, new formats, new business models), and only 9 companies engaged in the real estate industry.

5 years have passed, and it has changed. In the 2021 Top 100 List, 47 people in Dongguan were selected. The "richest man" is still the Zhang Yin family, from only 7 in the real estate industry, and more from the manufacturing industry, more accurately from the advanced manufacturing industry, including consumer electronics, lithium batteries, automation equipment, precision components. In particular, the 14 "newcomer" rich people are more industry-concentrated, concentrated in consumer electronic components, precision electronic components, automation equipment, lithium batteries and other high-tech manufacturing industries.
As the changes in the list of the richest people have been presented, the new list of listed enterprises in Dongguan has become the main high-tech enterprises. As of July 31, 2021, there are 45 A-share listed enterprises in Dongguan, and the proportion of high-tech enterprises is as high as 84.4%, most of which are located in the middle and upper reaches of the industrial chain.
If the two lists are still not enough to show the results, then you can look at the "13th Five-Year Plan" statistics of the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Statistics, and the scale of high-tech manufacturing has been expanding. From the perspective of the number of high-tech enterprises, there were 2977 high-tech industrial enterprises in 2020, an increase of 2436 over the number of enterprises (541) in 2015, and the number of enterprises quadrupled. From the perspective of economic volume, high-tech industrial enterprises achieved leapfrog development during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, and revenue and added value accounted for more than half of the city's proportion for the first time, and the economic volume increased significantly.

Dongfeng, the construction of the Greater Bay Area, Dongguan has been empowered by the national strategy
So, when did Dongguan, a large manufacturing city, begin to change?
It can be said that Dongguan, which started with processing trade, was one of the first cities to realize the importance of scientific and technological elements. Compared with Beijing, Wuhan and other cities with many colleges and universities, Dongguan lacks a lack of scientific research resources, and there are natural shortcomings in scientific and technological innovation. Moreover, the two financial crises in 2008 and 2018 also dealt a heavy blow to Dongguan, and the industrial development must be revitalized. This requires Dongguan to use extraordinary means to promote the introduction, agglomeration and transformation of scientific and technological resources.
The change began in 2006, Dongguan to meet the arrival of China's spallation neutron source, while opening the "science and technology Dongguan" plan, and then continuously strengthened, Dongguan like a "magnet" to attract innovation elements, innovation ecology to accelerate the construction, "innovation + industry" road is getting wider and wider.

In particular, the arrival of the East Wind in the Greater Bay Area has made Dongguan, a large manufacturing city, more active in striving for innovative resources and breaking into the national team of scientific and technological innovation. At present, actively docking the national science and technology strategy, and stepping up the construction of the second phase of spallation neutron source, the southern light source research test platform, and the advanced atassecond laser facility, these three major scientific devices will complement each other and provide important means for basic research and frontier cross-cutting research.
Dongguan actively introduces new research universities and builds the City University of Hong Kong (Dongguan Campus) and the Greater Bay Area University. These scientific research elements form the core foundation of Songshan Lake Science City and become an important part of Dongguan's national strategy for serving.
Among the prefecture-level cities in the province, Dongguan took the lead in introducing the reform of the science and technology planning system, from the point of breakthrough to the system improvement, and built an innovation system of "source innovation - technological innovation - achievement transformation - enterprise cultivation".
The innovation system of the whole chain directly benefits local enterprises in Dongguan, and the initiative of enterprise innovation continues to increase. In addition to the above two lists, from a broader perspective, Dongguan has built 5292 R&D institutions for industrial enterprises, and the establishment rate of scientific research institutions has reached 47.2%. The proportion of R&D in GDP increased to 3.54% in 2020, ranking second in the province; the number of national high-tech enterprises now exceeds 7200, ranking second in the number of prefecture-level cities in the country.
The atmosphere of innovation attracts a large number of talents, and by the end of 2020, the total number of talents in Dongguan has exceeded 2.58 million, of which more than 180,000 are high-level talents. There are 38 provincial innovation and scientific research teams, and the total number ranks first in the province's prefecture-level cities.
From the beginning of 2006 to 2021, Dongguan's industrial genes continue to change.

Super platform, open attitude, super boldness
Create a "scientific and technological innovation + advanced manufacturing" urban background
In the latest release of the "China City Competitiveness Report No.19", Dongguan stood out from 291 cities in the country, advanced to the top 20 of the national science and technology innovation, ranked third in the prefecture-level cities, and made significant progress, from 40th to 20th in the country, helping Dongguan rise 2 places in the comprehensive economic competitiveness ranking and rank 17th in the country.
"Scientific and technological innovation + advanced manufacturing" has become the urban background of Dongguan, and it is also an important direction for future urban development, and how Dongguan will stimulate this group of CP has become the key. Obviously, this requires a continuous injection of technology, talents, capital, etc., and requires some unconventional means, a more open attitude, and more bold implementation.

Huge platform. At present, the largest technology platform in Dongguan is in Songshan Lake Science City. Songshan Lake Science City, of which the core area is planned to be 90.5 square kilometers (including water areas) and the planning area of the coordination area is 41.7 square kilometers, which was included in the pilot launch area of the Comprehensive National Science Center in the Greater Bay Area in July 2020, and adopts the spatial design of Beihu Nanshan, one core and four districts according to the "Songshan Lake Science City Development Master Plan (2021-2035)". "One nuclear and four districts" is based on the large-scale device agglomeration area as the core, the layout of the university institute, the new material industry, the new generation of information technology and life science industry, And Wanshen scientific and technological achievements cooperation "four districts".
In recent years, Songshan Lake has introduced more than 2,500 talents of various types, including nearly 30% of high-level talents such as professors and researchers. With the acceleration of the construction of Songshan Lake Science City, the innovation ability will be further released. Dongguan's expectations for Songshan Lake Science City - to play a key leading role in Dongguan's new journey of high-quality and stable GDP of more than one trillion yuan and continue to promote high-quality development, providing important support for the construction of an international science and technology innovation center in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Open-minded. Under the consensus that "leading scientific and technological experts should have the right to work, have greater decision-making power over technical routes, greater control of funds, and greater right to mobilize resources", Dongguan has given scientists autonomy. Dongguan supports the materials laboratory to implement a new management system and operation mechanism that conforms to the laws of international innovation, and issues relevant measures to give the material laboratory autonomy in the selection of research directions, scientific research projects, technical route adjustment, talent introduction and training, professional title review, disposal of scientific research results and use of funds.
Zhao Zhongxian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and winner of the National Supreme Science and Technology Award, led the "Practical Superconducting Film Research Team" to produce results in just over a year. Behind the success of the analysis team, Zhao Zhongxian especially mentioned the relaxed scientific research environment and reasonable evaluation system given by Dongguan. He said that on the one hand, the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory pays attention to the actual results of research, does not discuss heroes with papers, and allows researchers to concentrate on tackling key problems; on the other hand, fully trust scientists, scientific research funds can be flexibly used for independent research and development, "allowing the money to buy vinegar with soy sauce", giving scientists autonomy.
Dongguan also actively creates an atmosphere of scientific and technological innovation, including holding high-quality exchange activities such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Academician Summit, the Huawei Developer Conference, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Science and Technology Forum, so that more people know about innovation and Songshan Lake.

Time has entered the fourth quarter, Dongguan has entered the sprint stage, and the GDP has entered a trillion yuan, one step away. Dongguan's expectations are obviously to go further and more stable, the current layout of "scientific and technological innovation + advanced manufacturing" will become the biggest weapon for steady progress, and to further play their role, it also needs greater boldness, the need for more participation of innovative subjects, stimulate more large and medium-sized enterprises to participate in it, build a real ecosystem, symbiosis and common prosperity, and support Dongguan's steady progress.
To make a fortune through science and technology is to come naturally.
