On the eve of National Day, the large passenger aircraft C919 independently developed by my country successfully obtained the model certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. As the first domestic supply of C919 titanium alloy fasteners and the first domestic company to obtain C919 airworthiness certification, Oriental Blue Sky Titanium Technology Co., Ltd., located in Yantai City, Shandong Province, cheered in . "In the past ten years, the company has experienced the development tide of intelligent transformation of China's manufacturing industry, and has caught up with the new era of the emergence of 'heavy weapons of a great country', and the company's development also benefits from this." said Tian Wenguang, deputy secretary of the company's Party Branch and chairman of the trade union.
Yantai is one of the birthplaces of modern Chinese national industry. Government data shows that over the past ten years, Yantai City has worked hard to grasp the leaders, cast chains, and build clusters, promote the modernization of traditional industries and the scale of emerging industries, and strive to create an "upgraded version" of Yantai's manufacturing. The added value of industrial in Yantai increased from 231.1 billion yuan in 2012 to 310 billion yuan in 2021. Last year, Yantai's industrial enterprises above designated size achieved operating income of 900.51 billion yuan and profit of 658.3 billion yuan, and the advanced manufacturing development index ranked first in the country's top 100 cities.
At the end of August this year, the Yantai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government issued the "Yantai City Action Plan for Implementing the Enterprise Double Plan to Promote the High-Quality Development of Advanced Manufacturing (2022-2025)" (referred to as the Double Plan Plan), screening 200 large-scale manufacturing enterprises as key double cultivation enterprises, and focusing on building the "Yantai Intelligent Manufacturing" industrial cluster. A reporter from the Beijing News learned that among the selected companies, there are many people who show Yantai's wisdom among the "heavy weapons of a big country".
"A great power" highlights the strength of Yantai
In the C2 factory of Oriental Blue Sky Titanium Technology Co., Ltd., workers in the Wenxing District are proficient in operating the intelligent robotic arms. With the pressing and cooperation of left and right robotic arms, fasteners are made and molded in just a few seconds. "These fasteners are used in large passenger aircraft C919." said Tian Wenguang, deputy secretary of the company's party branch and chairman of the trade union.
Tian Wenguang introduced that the company was established in 2010 and is an enterprise integrating the research and development, production and inspection of high-end fasteners and structural parts of aerospace. Ten years ago, the company's output value was less than 10 million yuan, and last year it exceeded 300 million yuan, a 30-fold increase; ten years ago, the company's R&D team had only 10 people, and now it has grown to more than 60 people; ten years ago, the company's factory area was 61 old factories with more than 2,000 square meters in Zhifu District, and now it has an area of 170 acres and 8 new factories in the Hi-tech Zone; ten years ago, the company was unknown and has now successfully become an important supplier of fasteners for aviation, aerospace and engines.
"Our products have also been applied in multiple aerospace models such as lunar exploration, manned space engineering, high-resolution ground observation." Tian Wenguang said with a fastening device that the device was successfully connected with Shenzhou 11 and Tiangong 2 . During the period when the astronauts were stationed in Tiangong for 633 days, they were "tailor-made" for maintenance and disassembly. But it took Titanium Technology five years to complete the product development to mass assembly for such a fastener that is only the size of a knuckle. "In the past ten years, we have started from scratch, crossed the river by feeling the stones, and successively overcome many difficulties such as molding technology, heat treatment technology, and surface treatment technology, filling a number of domestic fastening technology gaps."

"Among the 200 companies selected for the doubling plan, 100 leading backbone enterprises and 100 high-growth innovative enterprises." Zhang Hong, member of the Party Leadership Group of Yantai Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology and full-time deputy director of the Municipal Chemical Office, introduced that there are many companies like Titanium Technology that contribute Yantai's wisdom to the "heavy weapons of a great country". For example, the " Blue Whale No. 1 " and " Blue Whale No. 2 " independently developed and designed by CIMC Raffles are currently the largest semi-submersible offshore drilling platform in the world with the deepest drilling depth. They have successfully completed two rounds of combustible ice trial production tasks in the South China Sea , bringing my country's deep-water oil and gas exploration and development capabilities to the world's leading line; the world's first 4500 fracturing vehicle "Apollo" developed by Jerry Group brings China's shale gas development into the era of turbo fracturing, making my country the country with the largest single-machine power of existing turbine fracturing vehicles. "These companies have one thing in common, focusing on technological innovation, and taking more than ten years of completion of the path similar Western companies have taken for decades," said Zhang Hong.
"Ten New Policies" promotes "domestic substitution"
In the doubling plan, it also includes the government's key support policies for doubling and cultivating enterprises. Yantai government and enterprise personnel vividly call it the "Ten New Policies".
Ten new policies include supporting enterprises’ innovative development, supporting projects to support development, supporting enterprise expansion and development, and supporting enterprise integration development. The new policy clearly states that for leading and backbone multiplication-cultivating enterprises that promise an average annual growth rate of output value within four years and an annual growth of more than 20%, the reward will be given at a maximum of 1% of the output value increase of 5 million yuan; for high-growth innovation multiplication-cultivating enterprises that promise an average annual growth rate of output value within three years and an annual growth of more than 25%, the reward will be given at a maximum of 3 million yuan of the output value increase of 2% of the output value increase of that year. Yantai local manufacturing enterprises that entered the Fortune 500 for the first time will be given a one-time reward of up to 100 million yuan; for the multiplication of the cultivation enterprises with annual output value exceeding 5 billion yuan, 10 billion yuan, 50 billion yuan and 100 billion yuan for the first time during the cultivation period, one-time rewards of up to 1 million yuan, 2 million yuan, 3 million yuan and 5 million yuan will be given to the management team respectively.
, deputy general manager of Yantai Eddie Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., , what Li Jiaoyun is most interested in is that among the ten new policies, there is a policy on encouraging the double-over-cultivation of enterprises to cultivate " machine replacement ".

"In 2020, the company invested 1.09 billion yuan to build the Aichuang Intelligent Chemical Factory, which was put into use in June this year. After the project reaches full production, it will have the ability to produce 20,000 industrial robots annually." Li Jiaoyun said that the new policy proposes that enterprises that invest more than 500,000 yuan in the year to purchase industrial robot products will be rewarded and subsidized at a maximum of 1 million yuan at 20% of the investment in robot equipment. "This policy will greatly promote the business development of our industrial robots and lay the foundation for the company to achieve the doubling goal."
Li Jiaoyun introduced that Eddie Precision was established in 2003. It mainly sells hydraulic equipment such as hydraulic breaker , high-end hydraulic parts, industrial robots, etc., and its products are sold to more than 60 countries and regions around the world. Over the years, the company has always regarded R&D and innovation as its core competitiveness, and has mastered the comprehensive core technologies of the industrial chain from casting, machine addition, heat treatment, etc. The independently developed high-end hydraulic pump , hydraulic motor and multi-channel control valves have successfully achieved the domestic production of servo digital hydraulic systems, breaking the long-term monopoly of the domestic market by foreign companies.
"Focusing on the enterprise doubling plan, the government will fully support key enterprises such as Eddie Precision in the jurisdiction to layout new technologies and build new projects." A relevant person in charge of Huangbohai New District said that since this year, the new district has based on the "chain leader system" to promote "chain investment promotion". In the field of high-end equipment manufacturing , around the existing industrial foundation and enterprises, we have drawn a new map of investment promotion to accurately extend the chain and supplement the chain and strengthen the chain.
Bandung Vacuum Metallurgy Co., Ltd., about 4 kilometers from Eddie Precision, although the two companies belong to different industries, they are also embarking on the breakthrough of "domestic substitution" in the field of high-end manufacturing.Li Zongguang, deputy general manager of Wanlong Metallurgy, introduced that the company is the first domestic enterprise to take "special copper" as its leading product. It is committed to the development of high-performance special copper alloy materials and products, serving high-speed rail, nuclear power, aerospace and other fields. It has won the titles of national high-tech enterprises , specialized and specialized key "little giant" enterprise, etc. It is also the leading enterprise in Shandong Province's advanced copper alloy industry chain, and has presided over the formulation of 7 industry standards.
Li Zongguang recalled that in 2010, domestic high-speed rail developed rapidly, but the previous high-speed rail contact line was almost monopolized by foreign companies, with high prices and long production cycles. However, the chromium zirconium copper high-speed rail contact line has not been industrialized mass production. After 8 years of independent research and development of core processes and independent manufacturing of key equipment, the company has built the world's first high-speed rail chromium zirconium copper contact line mass production line, giving the high-speed rail "wings to take off".
"While developing, Wanlong Metallurgy can also drive the coordinated development of upstream and downstream enterprises. With the production of new projects, the new purchase amount from local upstream raw material supporting enterprises will gradually increase from less than 200 million yuan to more than 1 billion yuan. Thanks to the 'enterprise double plan', it is expected that Wanlong Metallurgy can reliably relies on new procurement to receive a fiscal reward of 5 million yuan per year." Zhang Hong said that in recent years, Yantai has adhered to the "cluster + chain", vigorously implemented the "9+N" manufacturing agglomeration and cultivation project, and focused on cultivating 16 key industrial chains such as petrochemical and chemical new materials and automobiles, and continuously gathered the development momentum of "Yantai Intelligent Manufacturing".
"World's First" helps to move towards the world
"The Phase 4 Antibody Liquid Building has been put into production, and the Phase 3 Project Quality Inspection Building is expected to be put into use at the end of this year. At that time, this place will become the largest antibody drug production base in the country." On September 28, Sun Miao, executive director of the Brand Management and Public Relations Department of Rongchang Biopharma (Yantai) Co., Ltd., told reporters.
In the 16 key industrial chains cultivated by Yantai City, biopharmaceutical industry has achieved remarkable results: the Yantai Blue Pharmaceutical Valley Life Island project with an investment of 4.4 billion yuan has started construction; the new crown vaccine , a subsidiary of Green Leaf Life Science Group , has entered the clinical trial stage abroad...

As a chain leader, Rongchang Biotech was the first to "profile" and has been listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange Science and Technology Innovation Board, becoming the largest listed pharmaceutical company in Shandong Province with the largest market value. Sun Miao introduced that at present, there are more than a dozen innovative drugs in the company's product pipeline that are in the R&D and commercialization stages. Among them, two original biological drugs, Tetarcept and Vidicitumab, have filled many international gaps and were approved for marketing in 2021.
In August of the same year, Rongchang Bio and Seattle Gene, a well-known biopharmaceutical company in the world, reached a global ( Asia-Pacific only includes Singapore and Japan) overseas authorization transaction cooperation agreement on Vidicitumab, and received a down payment of US$2.6 billion and milestone payment, setting a record for overseas authorization of single varieties of Chinese pharmaceutical companies.
According to the deployment, each key industrial chain in Yantai is led by a municipal leader, and the same is true for the biomedicine industry chain, building a support service system for chain leaders to lead the chain, chain office building in the park, chain owner leading the chain construction, and chain office departments linkage. At present, in terms of project promotion and investment promotion in the biopharmaceutical industry, Yantai has screened 20 platform projects and key projects, and 26 new projects signed by international conferences. Yantai’s biopharmaceutical industry was successfully selected as the first batch of strategic emerging industry clusters in the country and the first batch of "Top Ten" industries in Shandong Province.
In Yantai, there are many companies like Rongchang Bio that look at the world, and Yantai Zhenghai Magnetic Materials Co., Ltd. located in Huangbohai New District is one of them. At the mobilization meeting for the implementation of the doubling plan for key enterprises in Yantai City, Zhenghai Magnetic Material made a typical speech as one of the representatives of the three enterprises in the city. The company's general manager Li Zhiqiang said that he will continue to increase investment in scientific research and innovation to surpass countries such as Japan, Europe and the United States.
"In 2021, the global automobile sales volume was 78 million, and 1 car per 3 car is loaded with Zhenghai magnets; in 2021, the global air conditioner sales volume was 112 million, and 1 car per 3 car is loaded with Zhenghai magnets." Xu Ning, deputy general manager of Zhenghai Magnetic Material Planning Center, introduced that the company spends more than 4% of its sales revenue every year for research and development, and currently has 129 patents worldwide. At all critical periods of China's rare earth permanent magnet industry, the company has played a "leading" role in independent innovation, innovating "zhenghai oxygen-free process", "low-heavy rare earth technology" and "ultra-light rare earth technology".
It is understood that when the doubling plan was launched, Yantai clearly proposed the development goal of "strive to achieve a zero breakthrough in the top 500 local enterprises." The press conference on the theme of "Shandong's Ten Years·Yantai" also mentioned that Yantai is a national innovative city, , and will continue to increase the aggregation concentration, link intensity and radiation breadth of global resources, and create an international science and technology innovation highland for Northeast Asia .
