40, in the vast river of history, it is just a fleeting wave; but when condensed into the development history of a city, it seems magnificent, shimmering, and exciting.

Market is the "lifeline" of Yiwu's mall, and industry is the "ballast stone" of Yiwu merchant ships. In the tide of reform and opening up, Yiwu has made something out of nothing, turned stones into gold, and has emerged an unprecedented boom in industrial development. Relying on the advantages of the small commodity market, it vigorously implemented the strategy of "using business to promote industry, trade and industry linkage" and built industry around the market. Yiwu's industrial economy has achieved "fission" from small to large, from weak to strong, and has established the brand of "Made in Yiwu" worldwide.

sprouted due to the congenitalization of the market and grew stronger due to reform and innovation. Over the past 40 years, a magnificent picture of the booming industrial economy has been presented to the world: welding flowers splashed and machines roared, one company after another, one batch of major projects have settled, and one emerging industry has gone from nothing to something. There are both "standing upright" enterprises occupying the commanding heights of the international market, and there are also "flowering everywhere" small and medium-sized enterprises that promote the continued prosperity of the market.

Today's Chouzhou , industry leads the dream of a strong city, sets sails and breaks the waves and is full of ambition.

From weak to strong

Walk into the exhibition hall of Langsha Group , and I saw some sock production machines displayed here. From sock machines more than a hundred years ago to semi-automatic sock knitting machines in the 1980s and 1990s, to today's automation equipment. The renewal of these sock machines reflects the transformation of Yiwu's industrial development: driven by the market, a group of manufacturing enterprises mainly engaged in production and consumer goods, including Langsha, have gone from small to large, from weak to strong.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, Yiwu took the lead in opening up the market and seized the opportunity. While attracting merchants from all over the world, it also gave birth to private handicraft workshops that process and produce small commodities based on families. The production of these small workshops and the "front store and back factory" model support the continuous development of the Yiwu market.

"In the 1990s, Yiwu "induced business to turn to industry", implemented the strategy of "using business to promote industry and trade and industry linkage" to develop small product processing industry based on the market. Almost every stall has small workshops behind, with a few machines in the smaller ones and a dozen machines in the larger ones. Yiwu's industry is booming." The relevant person in charge of Langsha Group believes that the pillar industries that Yiwu relies on now, such as jewelry, underwear, socks, straws, etc., can be found at that time. If there was no industry leap at that time, Yiwu would lose its development potential. By 2006, Yiwu had more than 10,000 industrial enterprises and embarked on the path of industrial development of "small commodities, large industries; small enterprises, large clusters".

As the professional division of labor becomes more and more refined and the machinery and equipment becomes more and more advanced, handicraft workshops have begun to transform into private enterprises, and more and more "hidden champions" and "single champions" have begun to emerge.

The ultimate straw that cannot be small is Yiwu Shuangtong Straw Co., Ltd. is a vivid example of the "single champion" in the Yiwu industry. In the past 24 years, Shuangtong has not only established many domestic and foreign industry standards in the field of straws, but also sold its straws to Japan and European countries. After years of development, Shuangtong's output efficiency has increased by 6 times compared with 2005 while the industrial land, factory area and equipment remain unchanged. With the staff being streamlined by 40%, the per capita output rate has increased by 8 times.

While some enterprises are "prominent", Yiwu's manufacturing industry has gradually formed a block economy with the continuous deepening of social division of labor among private enterprises. From this, more than 20 advantageous industries such as knitted socks, jewelry, clothing, handicrafts, zippers, cosmetics, cultural supplies, toys, etc. are blooming.

With the development of society, these traditional industries have continuously enriched their connotations in the context of the new era and transformed into industrial clusters.The clothing manufacturing industry is listed as a provincial test field for the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries. The creation of "micro valleys" such as jewelry, cosmetics, luggage, etc. has injected new blood into the transformation and upgrading of Yiwu's traditional industries, and has gradually transformed into intensive management and mid-to-high-end manufacturing.

From light to heavy

set with blue plastic shoe covers, walking in the transparent corridor, through the bright but closed glass windows, you can clearly see: on the shiny green dustproof floor, computers and advanced instruments are neatly erected, and workers wearing blue one-piece work clothes are busy meticulously and orderly... If you didn't experience it yourself, it would be unimaginable that Suxi, an industrial city that originally mainly focuses on clothing and knitting, would have such a high-end and advanced production scene. This is the production workshop site of Huacan Yiwu Branch of Yiwu Information Optoelectronics High-tech Park.

Huacang Optoelectronics production workshop.

Huacan is just a microcosm of the High-tech Zone. A few years ago, the northeast of Suxi was just a desolate mountain, but now there are buildings, factories lined up, and roads crisscrossing... There is a vibrant scene everywhere.

It seems that in one night, Yiwu, known as the "world supermarket", had a new business card - Light Source Technology Town. It brings together three major LED industry leaders, Huacan, Ruifeng, Mulinsen, and , and has gathered a number of photovoltaic industry projects such as Aixu and Dongfang Risheng...

40 years, Yiwu Industry has undergone a huge transformation from small to large, from light to heavy. Nowadays, under the "No. 1 Project" of snatching food and attracting investment, the real economy has changed, and the "light industry" has become increasingly "heavy". Focusing on the four major strategic industries of daily consumption fashion, information network economy, advanced equipment manufacturing, and food, medicine and health, we will lead industrial transformation with large projects, and improve the quality and efficiency of development with industrial agglomeration. From being unique to a hundred flowers, we will compete for beauty, the industrial agglomeration of strategic emerging industries, project industrial agglomeration is frequently staged in Yiwu.

"Gives one, brings a batch, and radiates a piece of it." There is the "World's Light Capital" in the northeast, the green power town in the southwest, the Senshan Health Town in the west, the Kangdi Huatong Health Food Town in the north, and the Chunfeng Taoli Dachen Town in the north...

In the past two years, with the implementation of the Geely project with a total investment of nearly 30 billion yuan, Shicheng Village, Chi'an Town, has developed from a small village with almost no migrant population and no commercial supporting facilities to half of the migrant population, and the supporting service industries such as hotels and supermarkets have flourished. The villagers enjoyed it and found it incredible, but such changes were just a small case of the "butterfly effect" locally in the Geely Yiwu project. What emerged later was the huge historical changes that were taking place in the entire town and even the entire city.

Against the backdrop of vigorously cultivating and introducing strategic emerging industries, Yiwu's emerging industries such as advanced equipment manufacturing, information technology, food, medicine and health have been booming, and the pattern of a trillion-level platform has been opened.

Senshan Health Town Dendrobium officinale base.

data shows that in 1975, there were only 139 enterprises in Yiwu City, with an output value of 45.79 million yuan; in 1985, the total industrial output value reached 407.93 million yuan, and in the first decade after the reform and opening up, the total industrial output value increased by 10 times. This year, Yiwu's large-scale industrial enterprises achieved a total output value of 38.96 billion yuan, an increase of 11.6% year-on-year, and the growth rate reached double-digits for the first time in the past five years.

strong roots and solid roots, and lush branches and leaves. With the 40 years of ups and downs, Yiwu people who dare to venture and fight, have written a glorious history of rapid development of the industrial economy, taking advantage of the east wind of reform and opening up. Now, after repeated changes, Yiwu is still forging ahead on the road of high-quality development and carefully forged the "Made in Yiwu".
