bathed in the spring breeze of reform and opening up, Chengdu Qingbaijiang District has magnificently transformed from the former old industrial base to a new highland of inland opening up in the new era, just like the China-Europe Express (Chengdu).
The old industrial base is revitalized
Qingbaijiang District was built due to Sichuan Chemical and Chenggang. It is the first industrial zone to be deployed in the southwest region during the "First Five-Year Plan" period. It was once glorious due to the development of the industrial economy. Since the 1990s, the two former giants have been staggering in confusion and confusion, and have undergone several adjustments. From 2014 to 2016, Sichuan Chemical completely withdrew from the fertilizer industry, and Pancheng Steel completely closed its smelting production line, all of which chose to cut off its arm and survive.
However, with the closure of the two major enterprises, the GDP of Qingbaijiang District has not decreased but increased. The GDP grew by 8.7% in 2016, the GDP grew by 8.9% in 2017, and the growth rate is expected to reach 10.5% in 2018, which is higher than the national and provincial growth rate. What exactly supports the economic development of Qingbaijiang District?
It turned out that in 2002, a large number of enterprises in Dongjiao, Chengdu moved out. Due to its superior geographical location, Qingbaijiang District became one of the main carriers for enterprises in Dongjiao. In 2005, Qingbaijiang District officially established the Qingbaijiang Industrial Concentrated Development Zone (now known as the "district industrial zone"), and built the backbone roads of the industrial zone that year, using green building materials, , new materials, equipment manufacturing, and commercial vehicles as the leading industries of the park, making the old industrial zone revitalize.
Through more than 10 years of rapid development, the industrial zone has expanded from the initial 8 square kilometers to 17 square kilometers, and has won many honors such as the National High-performance Fiber High-Tech Industrialization Base, the second batch of circular economy pilot units, the National Strategic Emerging Industry Intellectual Property Cluster Management Pilot Unit, the National New Industrialization (Green Building Materials) Demonstration Base, and the first place in the top 20 China Building Materials Parks in 2018. Last year, the total industrial output value above the designated size exceeded 60 billion yuan.
drives into the industrial area. The roads are clean and spacious. Although the factories are lined up, they are full of green everywhere, making people feel extremely comfortable. Chen Dong, member of the Party Working Committee of the District Industrial Management Committee (Intelligent Management Committee), who is responsible for investment promotion, witnessed the development process of the industrial zone from nothing to something and from something to something to the best. "At the beginning, we invested regardless of size, only one standard was that it had a small impact on the environment. With the development of Qingbaijiang District, especially the rapid development of the railway port, the threshold for investment promotion in the park was getting higher and higher. It must comply with the park's leading industrial planning and must be a zero-pollution enterprise. At the same time, high-energy-consuming and low-output projects that do not comply with the park's planning are gradually being cleared out, and more high-quality projects are being introduced." Last year, 17 new contracts were signed, including Sichuan-Africa International Intelligent Manufacturing Center and Meiwei Prefabricated Building Demonstration Base Project, with a total investment of 7.75 billion yuan.
At present, there are more than 200 large-scale enterprises in the industrial park. Among them, there are 7 Fortune 500 companies in the world, 8 Fortune 500 companies in China, 30 leading companies in the industry, and 17 listed companies. They have formed a high-performance fiber and composite materials industry cluster led by Taijia and Zhongneng; an energy-saving and environmentally friendly and new metal functional materials industry cluster led by Tianma Bearings and Sanzhou Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Power Pipes; a green building materials and construction industrialization industry cluster led by Jianghe Curtain Wall, Chengdu Construction Engineering, and Hanjiang New Materials.
Smart Industrial City rose to the ground
In the second half of 2017, Qingbaijiang District planned the development layout of "one port, three cities, six characteristic towns". One of the cities is a smart industrial city, which mainly inherits Sichuan-based and Pancheng Steel industrial civilization, builds a national demonstration zone for transformation and upgrading of old industrial bases, and builds a new urban area for integrating industry and city, integrating "production, research, and housing" integration, high-end, garden-style smart industrial industry.
Last year, Qingbaijiang District implemented the largest shanty town renovation in history. In just a few months, 1,500 acres of land were demolished and functional blanks were completed in a market-oriented manner. At the same time, public supporting facilities such as education, health, and transportation, as well as infrastructure such as urban greenways were planned and built with high standards. "This is to create an urban layout that integrates industry and cities, break the boundaries of traditional old industrial areas, and in the future urban planning, we will take into account the value of the ecological value.” Chen Dong introduced that within a 15.08 square kilometers of the core area of the old industrial base and the surrounding urban ecological belt, the smart industrial city is planned and built at a high level and high standard. From the original traditional industries such as metallurgy and chemical industry to an industry dominated by headquarters office, high-end commerce, scientific and technological research and development, smart logistics, and cultural tourism creativity. At present, the smart industrial city has comprehensively promoted the construction of 35 infrastructure and supporting projects with a total investment of 9.8 billion yuan. In addition to the projects such as Smart Avenue, Qingjiang South Road, and Changliuhe Greenway that will be opened to traffic, it is also simultaneously Promote the construction of supporting facilities such as industrial site parks, international hospitals, international schools, talent apartments, and many large-scale industrialization projects.
In this vibrant land, Jiwei IoT is one of the "star" industrialization projects. When you walk into the Jiwei IoT display hall, you can see the dense traffic lines on the LCD screen on the entire wall that update the real-time freight situation. As long as merchants upload information here, they can receive orders quickly. Then, merchants no longer need to worry about order tracking, inventory and logistics tracking , online processing, self-service order opening and other processes, the goods can be sold without leaving home, and processed and distributed according to customer needs, and delivered to customers as quickly as possible. This emerging Internet company, which started from an open space in Pancheng Steel, achieved explosive growth of nearly 200 times in five years in just five years, and the platform's transaction volume exceeded 100 billion yuan, becoming a potential new economy unicorn enterprise in Chengdu. At present, it has formed a new economic unicorn enterprise with Jiwei Steel, Jiwei Transport Network, Jiwei Index, Jiwei Circulation, Jiwei Online Jiwei ethnic group in 26 major sectors including Weiyuncai.
In addition, Jiwei IoT has also joined hands with Zhejiang University NetNew Technology Co., Ltd. to jointly build the Southwest Cloud Computing Smart Industry Base in the Smart Industrial City. The project has started construction. The head of the company said; "We hope to form a large-scale industrial cluster as soon as possible through the construction of the Southwest Cloud Computing Smart Industry Base, and jointly explore the market blue ocean of big data with Jiwei IoT, and help upstream and downstream enterprises in the southwest region achieve synchronous improvement and common development with users. "
channel construction promotes industrial agglomeration
Since the reform and opening up, Qingbaijiang District has followed the trend of the times, responded actively, and sought change. In July 2008, Qingbaijiang District began to build the Western China Railway Logistics Center. In April 2012, the Chengdu Railway Port was officially operated. In 2010, the Western China Railway Logistics Center (later renamed " Chengdu International Railway Port ") was completed and put into operation. On April 26, 2013, In response to the "Belt and Road" initiative, the China-Europe Express (Chengdu) started from Qingbaijiang District, building a fast and smooth Eurasian continental bridge, fundamentally breaking the history that the western region must rely on ports to develop an outward-oriented economy. In July of the following year, the Central Asia Express was launched, departing from Qingbaijiang District, and heading to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan respectively. At this point, the Qingbaijiang District has become a new highland for China's inland opening.
China-Europe Express (Chengdu) and Central Asia Express The list of the launches has built a new platform for inland regions to participate in international economic cooperation, forming a new engine to promote coordinated development of the southwest region, and its domestic and foreign influence has continued to rise. On December 21 last year, a batch of Skyworth TV parts worth 16.8 million yuan were gathered from Chengdu International Railway Port and set off through a customized special train, and arrived in Nuremberg, Germany in 15 days. "In the past, it took two months to travel by sea, but now it only takes two weeks. The efficiency has been greatly improved, providing guarantees for the sales of products in European countries. In the future, we will transport our products to European countries through trains. "A relevant person in charge of Skyworth said. Zeng Yi, Minister of the External Liaison Department of the Hong Kong Management Committee, said that the freight categories of China-Europe freight trains are constantly expanding, and the goods transported through the China-Europe freight trains have gradually expanded from early electronic products to a wider and more diversified field: "In addition to electronic products such as Skyworth, TCL, and Dell, there are also domestic cars, Wenjiang flowers, Xindu Furniture, Wuhou women's shoes, Pujiang kiwi fruit, etc., transported to Europe through the freight train. "When you come, you go. In August 2015, the first return train of the China-Europe Express (Chengdu) departed from Rhodes, Poland, and European fast-moving consumer goods such as beer, beverages, snacks arrived in Chengdu by land for the first time.The formal two-way operation of the train marks another major breakthrough in the construction of Chengdu’s international logistics channel. Subsequently, European automobiles, furniture, cosmetics, fashion, wood, meat and other products entered the domestic market through the China-Europe Express (Chengdu).
has been operating for more than five years, and the China-Europe Express (Chengdu) has been weaved into a network, connecting 23 cities including Nuremberg, Tilburg, Rhodes, and 14 cities including Xiamen, Shanghai, and Qinzhou in the country, creating 7 international railway channels and 5 international railway-sea transport channels. The circle of friends is getting wider and wider, and there are no less than 3 trains returning from Chengdu to Europe every day. "Radiate from the east to Japan, South Korea and the Americas; from the west to form a pan-European railway channel through the Alashan Pass to Rhodes, Tilburg, and Nuremberg, and through Horgos to Istanbul, opening up the nearest railway-sea transport channel in and out of the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea; from the south to focus on building the Chengdu-Guangdong land-sea transport channel, and finally forming the three major pan-Asian railway-sea transport channels in the east, central and western regions; from the north to effectively cover the CIS countries and connect to the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor..."
uses a hub to increase channels, use channels to lead trade, and use trade to gather industries. Chengdu International Railway Port, the Qingbaijiang area of Sichuan Free Trade Zone and the China-Europe Express (Chengdu) are continuously bringing strong driving force for urban development, and at the same time promoting the improvement of the urban pattern of Qingbaijiang District. At present, Chengdu International Railway Port, as the core area of the Belt and Road Industrial Park, focuses on the development of international trade, modern logistics, and bonded processing. It has signed contracts and implemented 6 national commodity cultural centers in Italy and the Netherlands. This year, 24 major projects such as China Foreign Trade Co., Ltd., Hema Fresh, and Cainiao Network have been introduced, with a total investment of 21.6 billion yuan. In order to undertake more industries suitable for iron and European, and to allow docks and channels to play a greater role in promoting local economy and society, Qingbaijiang District planned and built a European industrial city last year in Qingquan Town, 9 kilometers away from the railway port.
Shanghai Runda Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Xinsong Robot Joint Research Institute Suzhou Institute... In the notebook of Chen Ying, a member of the Party Working Committee of the District European Management Committee, a list of more than 50 companies was recorded. "These are all companies and institutes we have visited. Many companies have reached investment intentions with us, hoping to settle in the European Industrial City as soon as possible." Chen Ying said that the European Industrial City is striving to build an import and export processing trade industrial cluster with advanced materials and intelligent manufacturing, which is suitable for iron and European, and "both ends are out". In September of the previous year, the European Industrial City was approved for establishment, and in October it kicked off the construction of "painting on white paper and building a city on flat ground". In just over a year, it attracted well-known domestic and foreign companies such as Huading Guolian, Jishi, Tianma, Hong Kong Nine Dragons, and British Kegri, with a total investment of more than 20 billion yuan.
