According to the results of the "National Top 100 Cities Selection" in 2022, Changsha, which has just entered the first-tier provincial capital cities in the country in 2021, ranks 15th in Changsha, which shoulders the name of "Internet Celebrity City"; Zhuzhou City ranks 77th is ranked 80th in in Changde City, is ranked 90th in in Yueyang City, and is ranked 91st in in Hengyang City. And what about our "exquisite Xiangtan "? After searching for a long time, I didn’t see it on the list! Why can’t Xiangtan’s economy improve? Even the locals don’t seem to be optimistic about their hometown! What's the real reason? Let's take a look:
1. Xiangtan is located in the "Middle East" region of Hunan Province. This is not the "Middle East" where the world's oil-rich small countries are dotted;
2. Xiangtan City has only three counties There are two districts, and the county government and the city government were only 1.5 kilometers apart in the same area. They have been good neighbors in history!
3. The population of Xiangtan city is nearly 2.8 million. In the seventh census, it actually dropped to 2.726 million. This is still under the country’s birth policy that supports two and three children!
4. Xiangtan used to have eight well-known factories and mines in the country. After multiple rounds of state-owned enterprise bankruptcy and restructuring and asset reorganization, only three remained;
5. A "Beautiful Xiangtan" campaign, the city was rated as " National Civilized City " , but has also been saddled with huge debts since then.
Looking at these data, you will understand that the foundation of Xiangtan's development is how far it is from other brother prefecture-level cities. You will also understand that the locals in Xiangtan think that Xiangtan is not good!
But is Xiangtan really dead? Is it possible to move forward a little bit appropriately? The answer is possible! If Xiangtan wants to develop, it can only rely on and Xiangtan Iron and Steel , which are doing well now. Can BBK, which is living an average life, provide certain employment? The answer is not just them, but also the industry leaders below.
1. Traditional military industrial enterprises are still the mainstay of economic development, such as: Jianglu Group, which has made achievements in tank final assembly and independent research and development of light armored vehicles; Hunan Electronics, which added auxiliary wings to China's third aircraft carrier The electromagnetic catapult produced by the group has filled a gap in China's completion history, allowing China to keep pace with the United States in aircraft carrier ejection technology, and even surpass the United States in comprehensive performance.
2. The gradually improving Geely Automobile manufacturing base, one of the top ten bases in the country. Geely Automobile not only produces and assembles its own products, but in order to respond to market demand faster, it will also go upstream to many auto parts factories and build branch factories on site in Jiuhua Industrial Park in Xiangtan, speeding up parts logistics. At the same time, it also promotes the sales of Geely Automobile. The Geely Vision series are all manufactured in Xiangtan, and now they are gradually shifting to the manufacturing and assembly of new energy vehicles.
3. It has taken on the important tasks of daily travel, catering, accommodation and entertainment for 100,000 people in colleges and universities and 40,000 people in secondary vocational schools. It has also brought a huge consumer army to Xiangtan. With the upgrade of the specifications and scale of some colleges and universities, the expansion of old schools, and the proliferation of new provincial famous schools, Xiangtan has also brought new business opportunities!
4. Land finance is a bit ahead of its time, but with the rise of the concept of "Xiangjiang New District Jiuhua New District" and the marginal effect of the development of "Xiangjiang Smart Valley", the destocking of real estate in Xiangtan is accelerating;
五, the traditional labor-intensive enterprise -betel nut processing industry located in Jiuhua Park and Xiangtan County Industrial Park also supports Xiangtan's output value of 10 billion every year. At the same time, it also solves the problem of rural residents seeking employment outside the local area.
6. Xiangtan County , which is also the national Bailian production and marketing base, is still far ahead in the country.
7. Red tourism, which receives more than 5 million people a year, also brings a lot of income from the tourism and service industries to Xiangtan;
8. ...
There are other industries, I will not list them here. Now, with so many industries developing, Xiangtan’s progress will not stop. Come on, Xiangtan! It took a lot of effort to write this, drink some water and take a rest!
