Introduction: Integrating into the Development Tide of the Pearl River Delta (subhead)
Zhaoqing High-tech Zone is located in Dawang, with an area of 98 square kilometers and flat terrain. Originally, it was an overseas Chinese farm mainly planting crops, facing Sanshui District, Foshan City, the core area of the Pearl River Delta, across the river. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the wave of industrialization swept across the Pearl River Delta. However, until 2002, in sharp contrast with the core area of the Pearl River Delta, Zhaoqing High-tech Zone was still a virgin land full of sugarcane.
Zhaoqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone
"The key to Zhaoqing's backwardness lies in industrial backwardness!" In April 2003, when General Secretary Hu Jintao visited Guangdong, he put forward the call of "accelerating development, leaping development and coordinated development". Facing the new round of development boom in South Guangdong and the development opportunity of accelerating the transfer and expansion of industries in the Pearl River Delta, Zhaoqing people living at the gate of the "Guangfo Economic Circle" can't sit still. In June of that year, Lin Xiong, then secretary of Zhaoqing Municipal Party Committee, solemnly put forward the eastward strategy of "looking eastward and rushing eastward to accelerate integration into the development tide of the Pearl River Delta", adjusted the development goal of Zhaoqing High-tech Zone to an industrial new city, and encouraged the zone to actively connect with the industrial transfer and radiation of the Pearl River Delta with unconventional development ideas. As a result, Zhaoqing High-tech Zone, with its unique location and resource advantages, suddenly became a breakthrough for Zhaoqing to develop its industrial economy and realize a new round of development, and opened its doors to attract investment. Since then, groups of merchants have poured into the high-tech zone, and industrial projects have settled in Zhaoqing high-tech zone. Transfer: As a "two districts" (subhead), Zhaoqing High-tech Zone has obvious advantages: it is located in Guangzhou's half-hour economic circle, backed by the southwest of the motherland, and has convenient transportation. It is the "throat" of the "Pan-Pearl River Delta", which can not only undertake the industrial transfer of the world, Hong Kong, Macao and developed areas in the Pearl River Delta, but also the "bridgehead" for western resources to flow to the Pearl River Delta. In July, 2004, the Guangdong provincial government made a decisive decision to build Zhaoqing High-tech Zone into a key industrial park for attracting foreign investment in Guangdong Province and a demonstration zone for attracting foreign investment in mountainous areas of Guangdong Province, and specially issued six supporting policies, including perfecting development planning, implementing construction land, speeding up the construction of transportation infrastructure, speeding up the construction of power facilities, improving customs clearance efficiency and increasing financial support. Since then, Zhaoqing High-tech Zone has become an elaborate "chess piece" of Guangdong High-tech Development Zone.
With the support of policies, Zhaoqing High-tech Zone has made every effort to build a "Bird's Nest" and attract "Phoenix". In terms of planning, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Urban and Rural Planning and Design Institute, Hong Kong Rowling Urban Planning Consultant Co., Ltd. and other professional planning and design institutions were hired to prepare and improve the overall planning and industrial planning of the park through international bidding. In terms of facilities, more than 2 billion yuan was raised through self-financing, bank financing and cooperative development, and infrastructure construction such as park development and transportation was carried out, and 24-hour all-round services such as "one window", "one train" and "nanny" were implemented to create a standardized, efficient, convenient and fast working environment and a good atmosphere of "pro-business, safe business and wealthy businessmen".
Zhaoqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone
Two brands, "provincial key industrial park for absorbing foreign capital" and "mountain demonstration zone for absorbing foreign capital", exude charming charm. In 2004, Zhaoqing High-tech Zone actually utilized 200 million US dollars of foreign capital, 266,543.8 million US dollars in 2005, 274 million US dollars in 2006 and 300.6 million US dollars in 2007, ranking third among the 96,543.8+0 economic development zones in Guangdong Province for two consecutive years and first among the 69 provincial economic development zones in Guangdong Province for three consecutive years.
Boosting: increasing "quantity" and improving "quality" in intensive development (subhead)
Enterprises compete to settle in the park, which not only promotes the leap-forward development of the park economy, but also brings about the problem of land supply. How to maximize the investment intensity and output rate of land and realize the sustainable development of the park economy? In June 5438+February, 2006, Zhaoqing clearly defined the region as a modern industrial city at the tenth Party Congress. Tan Weidong, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Yang Haoming, mayor, have repeatedly stressed the need to give full play to the strength of the whole city and support the accelerated development of high-tech zones. Zhaoqing High-tech Zone has ushered in a new wave of development, and has also entered an intensive development stage of increasing "quantity" and improving "quality".
The measures of intensive development include implementing the project access system and raising the threshold of project admission; Separate the land transfer fee for industrial projects from the comprehensive construction fee and encourage enterprises to build multi-storey factories; Focus on the construction of employee villages, and new enterprises will no longer give land for the construction of employee dormitories; If the industrial land exceeds the time limit stipulated in the contract, idle fees will be charged and land adjustment will be carried out, and the land for more than two years will be recovered free of charge.
There is a project review meeting in Zhaoqing High-tech Zone, and every project must be reviewed before entering the park. More than 80 projects that do not meet the development requirements of the park have been cut, involving an investment of more than 700 million US dollars. In Linjiang Industrial Community, employee villages invested and built by Country Garden Group have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and these apartments will be rented out to enterprises entering the park at low prices. The cadres of the Planning Bureau of High-tech Zone told us that if these living quarters are scattered in the production areas of various enterprises, at least 1600 mu of land is needed.
Zhaoqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone
Samuel Kwok, member of the Standing Committee of Zhaoqing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor in charge of the high-tech zone, said that intensive land use is to guide the construction of enterprise clusters, promote industrial agglomeration and realize the sustainable development of the park. In the past two years, Zhaoqing High-tech Zone has shown gratifying "banyan effect" and "herding effect". Driven by the radiation of the Asia Aluminum City project, more than 10 upstream and downstream enterprises such as Aohua Aluminum, New Central Asia Aluminum and Yihua Stainless Steel Aluminum have successively settled in Zhaoqing High-tech Zone, forming a metal processing industrial belt with an annual output value of 50 billion yuan. At the same time, the biopharmaceutical industry led by Dahua Nong, the new material industry led by Aisikai, the automobile and motorcycle parts industry led by Ai Rowen, and the electronic information industry led by silicon photoelectric technology have also begun to take shape.
The rapid development trend has strengthened the confidence of the Party Committee and Management Committee of Zhaoqing High-tech Zone in promoting the leap-forward development of the park. They are determined to achieve new breakthroughs in attracting investment and park construction, and strive to achieve an industrial output value of 50 billion yuan within two years. Liu Longping, secretary of the Party Committee, said confidently: "The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has pointed out a new direction for the future development of high-tech zones, and it is a foregone conclusion that the economic development of high-tech zones will reach a new level this year!"
