The development history of the ancient town of Zhongshan, the capital of lighting

In recent years, the ancient town has undergone significant changes. So far, the ancient town has nearly 10,000 large and small enterprises. Lighting accounts for more than 70% of the domestic lighting market share. Today, the ancient town is undoubtedly the largest lighting production and sales base in the world. 23 years ago, if someone wanted to select poor towns in China, Guzhen Town in Zhongshan City would definitely be among them; today, 23 years later, if China wanted to select a hundred wealthy towns among tens of thousands of towns, Guzhen Town in Zhongshan City would definitely be among them. The town is definitely among the best. For this reason, many domestic and foreign experts are puzzled by the huge changes in Guzhen Town, Zhongshan City, the lighting capital of China.

In terms of various hardware conditions, including above-ground and underground resources, transportation, cultural heritage, traditional industries, etc., Zhongshan Guzhen Town does not have obvious advantages. The only advantage is the people here. Judging from the customs and history of Guzhen Town, the people here are not much different from the people in other towns in the Pearl River Delta. The biggest difference is that there are several great people in this town, such as: Guzhen Town Party Committee Secretary Wu Runfu, Huayi Group Chairman Ou Bingwen and General Manager Ou Jinbiao, Shengqiu Lighting Chairman Ou Chengcong and Ou Chengbiao, PARKnSHOP Chairman Cai Yongquan, former Guomao Hotel investor Mr. He and other outstanding people The leader in getting rich. Among these leaders, Wu Runfu, who is the party secretary of Guzhen Town, played a decisive role in the development of the ancient town. Thirteen years ago, Guzhen Town ranked fifth from the bottom in the township economic rankings in Zhongshan City. In order to change the poverty and backwardness of Guzhen Town, Wu Runfu, then mayor of Guzhen Town, formulated the strategic goal of "establishing the town through industry". Focusing on this goal, he began to introduce a series of new measures to "run the town", such as: selecting a group of rich experts to serve as village officials; in order to encourage educated young people in the town to set up lighting enterprises, the village committee and the town government specially introduced A series of bank loan guarantee policies were implemented; in order to solve the land problem of the town and foreign investors to set up factories, the town government first bought large tracts of land from farmers, and after unified planning, sold the land to enterprises that needed to set up factories. This approach not only avoids land acquisition disputes between investors and local farmers, but also brings a large amount of revenue to the town government's finances; in order to change the ideological concepts of business operators and village cadres, the town government organizes several groups every year People went to some developed countries and regions to study and study; the most noteworthy thing is that in order to cultivate the lighting industry in the ancient town and enhance the international status of the lighting industry in the ancient town, Wu Runfu fought against all opinions and held the event in 1999 despite various pressures. The first international exhibition in the history of Zhongshan City and so on. All this fully reflects Wu Runfu's outstanding management talents and forward-looking strategic vision. Today's ancient towns are at the forefront of the country's outstanding towns in terms of industrial scale, municipal construction, business environment, regional brand and investment environment, and cultural environment. But in the face of all this hard-won, the people of Guzhen are not proud, because they all know that the Guzhen is still far away from the "Lighting Capital of the World", and the lighting industry of the Guzhen is facing a life and death revolution from quantitative change to qualitative change; they all know We know that if the people of Guzhen want to outshine others on the international stage, they must constantly improve themselves. Only in this way can the glory of Guzhen be continued. We look forward to the hardworking and intelligent people of Guzhen, after another 10 years of hard work, they will finally win the title of "World Lighting Capital" to Guzhen and make new contributions to the prosperity of the country and the nation!
