The media recently reported that the Guangdong Provincial Government held an executive meeting to study the adjustment of the mechanism of the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone. Although no specific information was disclosed, it still attracted strong market attention. Boosted by this news, the stocks of a large number of listed companies with land in the cooperation zone have collectively risen sharply, and investors are also inquiring about the real estate market there, which shows the strong interest of capital in the Shenshan Cooperation Zone.
has climbed up to the rich relative of Shenzhen, Shanwei is really going to turn a sparrow into a phoenix?
Some media hailed the Shenzhen-Shantou Cooperation Zone as the Shenzhen version of the "Xiong'an New Area." The two are indeed comparable. The Shenzhen-Shantou Cooperation Zone is about 120 kilometers away from the core area of Shenzhen, which is about the same distance as the Xiongan New Area from the core area of Beijing. Not only that, the two new districts are both virgin lands to be developed, both involve cross-administrative region cooperation, and both are remotely attached to a parent city with strong radiation power.

As I write this, I think of a hot word that has become popular recently - enclave economy , which is a very common model of cross- regional cooperation in the world. In June this year, eight departments including the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Supporting the Development of the "Enclave Economy"", high-profile support for the "enclave economy", a new thing that was ambiguous in the past. In the future, this new thing is very likely to dominate the process of urbanization in China and bring about a century-long reshuffle of the regional structure.
Guiding Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission on Supporting the Development of "Enclave Economy"
The so-called "enclave economy" is a region in which administrative regions that are independent of each other and have gaps in economic development break through zoning restrictions and achieve complementary resources and coordinated development through cross-space development. Cooperative mode.
Let’s first review several pilot projects of the “enclave economy” in China.
Singapore is a senior player in the "enclave economy" . In the 1990s, the Singaporean government and the Chinese government cooperated to create an "enclave economic zone" covering an area of 278 square kilometers in Suzhou City - Suzhou Industrial Park. Singapore is a small land. After decades of reclamation, it only covers an area of more than 700 square kilometers. Through this "enclave economic" experimental zone, Singapore has greatly expanded its development space, and Suzhou has also used this "enclave" park to achieve Due to the explosive growth of the economy, its economic aggregate once overtook Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Shanghai has also boldly used the "enclave economy" to transform into an international shipping center. At the beginning of this century, as silt gradually accumulated in the Yangtze River Estuary, Shanghai was faced with the problem of "no port available", so it targeted the two small islands suspended in the mouth of Hangzhou Bay - Xiaoyangshan Island, which is a place to build a deep-water seaport. Excellent place. However, these two islands are under the jurisdiction of Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and are not managed by Shanghai. What should I do? Shanghai and Zhejiang created a new model of regional cooperation in China at that time - leasing. After
rented these two islands, Shanghai quickly started building the East China Sea Bridge to connect the Big and Little Yangshan Islands to the mainland of Shanghai. Then these two deserted islands, which were originally unattended, were built into the world's largest throughput. Deep water seaport. With the help of this deep-water seaport, Shanghai has successfully transformed from a river port city into a seaport city. Without this transformation of the century, Shanghai's construction of an international shipping center and international financial center may be empty talk.
Beijing has also experimented with the "enclave economy" . Returning to the development history of Beijing since its reform and development, almost every important urban upgrade is inseparable from the contribution of the "enclave economy". In the 1990s, in order to solve the problem of insufficient land for airport construction, Beijing planned an enclave in Shunyi, which was still part of Hebei Province at the time, and started building the Capital International Airport. To this day, the airport in Shunyi District is still an enclave managed by Chaoyang District .
At the beginning of this century, as a non-coastal city, Beijing wanted to have its own outlet to the sea and enjoy the feast of the marine economy like Shanghai and Shenzhen. This time, Beijing targeted a coastal beach area called Caofeidian in Tangshan, Hebei, and opened it up as its own enclave.As a bargaining chip for cooperation, Beijing moved the giant Shougang Group over. Beijing finally had its own outlet to the sea, and Caofeidian also jumped from an unknown tidal flat to a pearl of ports in northern China. Tangshan's GDP is still the leading Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital, ranks first in the province.
Today, Beijing is facing another thorny problem, which is the decentralization of non-capital functions. This time, Beijing aimed at Baiyangdian 120 kilometers away, so Xiongan New Area made a shocking appearance in North China. Beijing wants to work hard here to create a future city with an unprecedented development model and form an iron triangle relationship with Beijing and Tianjin.
enclave economy is hot.
It can be said that with the help of the "enclave economy", Singapore, Shanghai, and Beijing have all solved the problems of shortage of land resources and insufficient development space, and have achieved great leaps in urban functions accordingly.
Today's Shenzhen also needs a "super enclave" to solve the current problem of land resource shortage and achieve a great leap in urban functions.
There is no doubt that Shenzhen today has reached the highest prestige in its history. Literati wrote about it, scholars wrote about it, and investors spent huge sums of money on it. Even Beijing and Shanghai have to give in to this kind of praise that comes from the public.
However, hidden worries are also spreading. Voices that are bearish on Shenzhen are heard from time to time, and online articles about high housing prices forcing companies and talents away often appear. Shenzhen officials are obviously aware of this problem. The previously held first-quarter economic form analysis meeting clearly pointed out the "four major hidden worries" faced by Shenzhen: insufficient original innovation capabilities, lack of industrial land, insufficient quantity and quality of talents, and increased production and operation costs. .
To be honest, among these four major worries, only the second one is truly unsolvable. The original innovation ability can be solved by introducing universities; in terms of talents, Shenzhen is already very top-notch, losing to Beijing and Shanghai at most; the increase in production and operation costs can be alleviated through industrial support and tax concessions. Shenzhen has money and can make maneuvers in this area. There is plenty of room, but the high cost is ultimately due to the lack of industrial land – lack of land is Shenzhen’s real concern.
has no land, where can Shenzhen technology companies put their new production capacity? Without land, land prices and house prices in Shenzhen will only get higher and higher. How can ordinary people (603883, Diagnostic Stock) live and work in peace and contentment? Without land, how can Shenzhen continue to compete with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which have abundant land tickets?
——So, Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone was born!
Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone
Shenshan Cooperation Zone is a beautiful seaside area located at the junction of Shanwei and Huizhou , 80 kilometers away from the border of Shenzhen, with a total area of 468.3 square kilometers. The entire Shanwei has 455 kilometers of coastline and about 100 kilometers of clean beaches. This is a first-class natural resource in the entire Southeast Asia and is considered one of the most beautiful coastal cities in South China.
Shenzhen has projects but no land, and Shanwei has land but lacks projects. Each takes what it needs and complements each other. The land of 468 square kilometers is equivalent to 3 hectares of Nanshan District and 6 hectares of Futian District, which is larger than the area of the original Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. Not only that, this land is surrounded by mountains and sea, with a long and quiet coastline, a wide harbor and deep water, sparsely populated areas, and extremely low demolition costs, so it can create the most beautiful picture.
Well, some people say that the distance from Shenzhen to Shanwei is more than 100 kilometers, which is no longer the scale of a city circle, but this is not important. What is important is that the time distance from Shenzhen North to Shanwei Station is one hour. For white-collar workers living in the metropolis of Shenzhen, one hour is just a short trip from Nanshan to Dameisha, which is completely within the affordable range.
People in Shenzhen love outdoor sports. They have the best hiking trails and climatic conditions among first-tier cities. The annual "Mill Hundred Kilometers" is very popular. It is only 80 kilometers from Shenzhen Bay Port to Dapeng Bay. If it continues All the way east along the coastline, another 80 kilometers away, is the beautiful Shanwei Red Bay. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is actually not very big. It's not far, it's just a psychological distance in many cases.

The emergence of rapid rail transit has allowed the radius of human economic and social activities to continuously break through the limits, making the city's leapfrog development possible:
The horse-drawn carriage era, The radius of activity of the city will not exceed 10 kilometers. Beyond this radius, the horse-drawn carriage will not be able to run. In the age of automobiles, this radius has been greatly expanded to 30 kilometers, making it possible for a city to accommodate tens of millions of people. However, if it continues to expand, the city will be very difficult to move. It is difficult to operate normally because of traffic jams, so Beijing and Shanghai are working hard to disperse the population; in the era of rail transit, to what extent will the radius of human activities expand from 30 kilometers? Maybe it's 50 kilometers, maybe 100 kilometers, maybe 200 kilometers, it's all possible, because the subway construction technology with a speed of 180 kilometers per hour has matured.
How far is it from Shanwei to Shenzhen? This is not an arithmetic question, but a Chinese language question, and different candidates will have different answers.
You see, China Resources , Tencent, and Galaxy Bay have already started their exams. 11 projects such as China Resources New Generation Data Center and Tencent Cloud Computing Data Center have been completed and put into production. 24 projects including Jinke Special Materials Production Base are under construction. The new energy vehicle production base of BYD (002594, Diagnostic Stock) is also located in Luhe County , not far from the cooperation zone.
Not only that, Galaxy Bay Group from Guangzhou has also taken a liking to this rising area . The group is building high-end residential areas and five-star hotels in the east of Shanwei City and on the northeast side of Pinqing Lake. The project is close to the Zhanqian Road under construction and can directly enjoy the development benefits of Shanwei High-speed Railway Station and the Central Business District. It only takes one hour to Shenzhen and two hours to Guangzhou and Xiamen. It is expected to attract people from the Pearl River Delta and Xiamen to Zhangquan. Business and tourist flows in the two major economic circles.
Shanwei Galaxy Bay (rendering)
As we all know, Galaxy Bay has always been famous for its quality. Whether its products are residences or hotels, they all reveal a strong craftsmanship spirit and are very popular among the urban high-tech crowd. The Beijing Municipal Planning Commission, Beijing Comprehensive Urban Construction and Development Office, Beijing Urban Planning Society and other departments also jointly published "Interpretation of Guangzhou Galaxy" and "Approaching Beijing Galaxy" to recommend the craftsmanship of Galaxy to the national real estate industry. .
not only has strict quality control, but is also very picky about the location of Galaxy Bay. It has always been only in valuable locations in regional central cities. It has now been deployed in Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Taiyuan, Shenyang, Xi'an, Qingdao, Macau and other places.
Industry insiders believe that Galaxy Bay has rich experience in urban layout and project operations. The choice of Shanwei this time is a bit unusual, indicating that although Shanwei is not a central city, it at least has the potential to become a gateway city in the eastern Guangdong region. China Resources, Tencent and Galaxy Bay are using real money to vote for Shanwei this time, which may bring a large number of Pearl River Delta capital to settle in Shanwei, which will have an impact on the original urban structure of eastern Guangdong.
At present, the entire eastern Guangdong region is an underdeveloped area and lacks a central city as a locomotive. Shantou is a special economic zone and has the potential to play this role. However, Shantou's economic scale is too small and it is far from the Pearl River Delta, making it insufficiently attractive to high-end talents and industries. In comparison, Shanwei is only more than 100 kilometers away from Shenzhen, and with the "enclave" of Shenzhen-Shantou Cooperation Zone as a bargaining chip, it is even more attractive to Shenzhen. So, who will become the new regional gateway city, Shantou or Shanwei?
Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone utilizes the Eastern Coastal Expressway, Shenshan-Shantou Expressway . Chao-Wan Expressway , and National Highway 324. Shenzhen-Huizhou-Shantou Light Rail and -Xiamen-Shenzhen High-speed Railway form a multi-channel, multi-modal, convenient and efficient transportation system with the Pearl River Delta and eastern Guangdong. The cooperation zone is one and a half hours away from downtown Shenzhen, 45 minutes away from Yantian Port (000088, Clinic Stock), and within half an hour's drive from Xunliao Bay International Leisure Resort and Shili Silver Beach.

The Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone has a total area of 468.3 square kilometers, and the planned control area is about 200 square kilometers. The current total population is 73,000, and the population density is only 161 people per square kilometer. The land development potential is huge.(Picture source: Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone official website).
Shenshan Shantou Special Cooperation Zone is surrounded by mountains and sea, with a coastline of 42.5 kilometers. It is adjacent to the international sailing competition area Red Bay . In the area, Haili Golf Course , Xiaomo Nanfang'ao Resort and Qimen Jinli Bay Resort have been built. Ariake Hot Spring Resort and other resorts are under construction. At the same time, the area has harbor resources that can be developed into deep-water docks, and the natural scenery is beautiful (picture source: Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone official website).
At present, Shanwei is showing a prosperous atmosphere, with rich and colorful economic, social and cultural activities. It is reported that the "Happy to see the new changes in Shanwei - Ten thousand volunteers create cultural service activities" co-organized by Galaxy Bay will be launched in mid-September, with tens of thousands of cadres and people from all walks of life in Shanwei participating. This is a demonstration of Shanwei's economic and social development achievements and the city's A super event with style and charm.
Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone relies on the advantages of Shenzhen's complete financial facilities to create a good financing environment. It has established strategic cooperative relationships with National Development Bank, Shenzhen High-tech Investment, Innovation Investment, and Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Financing Guarantee Center. Shenzhen and Shanwei Municipal Industry and Commerce, Bank of China , Ping An and many other banks support the development and construction of the cooperation zone (Photo source: Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone official website). The great era of
has begun, and Shanwei is ready to be tied to the same rumbling era chariot as Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other core cities in the Pearl River Delta!
You can imagine that the Shenzhen-Shantou Cooperation Zone is to Shenzhen what Suzhou Industrial Park is to Singapore, Yangshan Port is to Shanghai, Xiongan New Area is to Beijing, Hsinchu is to Taipei, Tsukuba City is to Tokyo, and New Jersey is to New York. In the next 30 years, Shenzhen will overcome obstacles in this "super enclave", continue its passionate years and create great achievements again.
If Xiongan New Area wants to solve the problem of decentralizing the functions of the capital of a large country, then what the Shenzhen-Shantou Cooperation Zone needs to solve is how to use market logic to further break down administrative boundaries, explore a broader market for the flow of factors, and build a more balanced regional development ecology. . The two, one in the north and the other in the south, echo each other and jointly write a new chapter in China's economy. Will "Xiongan in the north and Shanwei in the south" become the strongest voice of this era?
