In 20 18, the GPD data of all provinces have come out, and Guangdong still tops the list, followed by Jiangsu province. Interestingly, it ranks third and fourth, Zhejiang ranks fourth, and Shandong ranks third ahead of Zhejiang. The GDP of the two provinces is 76,469.7 billion yuan and 56 197 billion yuan respectively. It can be seen that Shandong's GDP is 2 trillion higher than that of Zhejiang, and the gap is not small.

Why is Shandong's GDP significantly higher than that of Zhejiang, which makes us feel that Zhejiang is obviously rich?

There are many reasons, the main reason is that the economic models of the two provinces are different. Shandong is a traditional industrial province, which is dominated by large state-owned enterprises rather than private enterprises. Therefore, there are too many people in public institutions, and the wages of most workers in enterprises are relatively low except for the high salaries of leaders. However, there are many private enterprises in Zhejiang province, that is, there are many private enterprise bosses. Many people do business, so there are many businessmen in any industry. Zheshang is very famous. We are familiar with the famous entrepreneur cloud. So what we feel is that Zhejiang is richer. Because of the differences in economic models between the two provinces, most of Shandong's GDP is created by state-owned enterprises. In other words, it is the country's money. Most private enterprises in Zhejiang are their own money.

According to the per capita GDP in the first half of 20 18, the per capita income in Zhejiang province is 24 147 yuan and that in Shandong province is 14967 yuan. In terms of per capita income, Zhejiang is far ahead of Shandong. Zhejiang is a mountainous and hilly area with no coal mines and energy resources. Compared with Zhejiang, Shandong is rich in coal mines and energy resources. The economy of Zhejiang Province was created by the people themselves, and the ancient Silk Road was mainly run by Zhejiang businessmen. Zhejiang has a business background, so there are far more private enterprises in Zhejiang than in Shandong.

Unfortunately, Shandong is rich in resources, vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, with ports, large labor force and profound cultural heritage. The Confucius and Mencius we are familiar with are all from Shandong. But there are not many people doing business, which leads to the third total and the ninth per capita GDP. I believe that after entering a new era, the economies of all provinces will grow steadily!
