Leather Industry Takes The Lead In Chongqing

There are a group of special people in Chongqing. They are active in various occasions in the southeast coastal cities, for investment promotion.

This group of people has an image title - "investment nanny".

There are no more accurate data on the number of "investment nannies" in Chongqing.

However, the most expensive "business nanny" is not Bo Xilai, Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee.

On the afternoon of April 19th, Bo Xilai led the main leaders of Chongqing to attend the signing ceremony of the economic and trade cooperation project between two provinces and cities in Zhejiang and Chongqing. Zhejiang also sent a large team led by the provincial Party secretary.

At the ceremony, two provinces and cities in Zhejiang and Chongqing signed 24 economic and trade cooperation projects with a total investment of 26 billion yuan.

Prior to this, preliminary statistics show that Chongqing's capital flows into Zhejiang in the first quarter of this year is over 5 billion, which means that in 2008 alone, the capital of Zhejiang, which may enter Chongqing, will reach 30 billion yuan.

Reporters also found in the survey that the 30 billion funds are mainly invested in industries in various districts and counties of Chongqing, such as cement, automobile and motorcycle parts production, special ship manufacturing, eco-tourism and other industries.

Zhejiang industry moves westward

Dan Songpeng of Wenzhou came to Chongqing 10 years ago to engage in the distribution of large toys.

He told reporters that 2 million 800 thousand of the 7 million 800 thousand people in Wenzhou were doing business in the field.

In Wenzhou, the price of land in general towns is above 800 thousand yuan per mu, and the land near Wenzhou is more than 10 million / mu.

Therefore, it is a comparatively luxurious idea to run factories locally in Zhejiang now.

"The land price of Wenzhou leather industrial park is 1 million 600 thousand yuan / mu, while Chongqing Tongliang county is 70 thousand yuan / mu, Zhejiang general worker needs at least 1300 yuan / month, and Chongqing is 800 yuan / month."

Hu Jian, director general of Chongqing Tongliang Investment Promotion Bureau, told reporters that in fact, many projects in Wenzhou are preparing to move westward, because on the one hand, Wenzhou's land cost and labor cost are far higher than Chongqing's. on the other hand, Zhejiang has already started upgrading its industrial structure, and many industries are being eliminated.

In these 24 economic and trade cooperation projects, Zhejiang Shaoxing and Chongqing Qianjiang region signed a framework agreement on industrial pfer.

Chen Qianli, director of Qianjiang Investment Promotion Bureau, said that a lot of industries in Shaoxing will be pferred to the area in the future.

"In fact, because of the appreciation of the renminbi and the deterioration of the foreign trade market this year, many enterprises in Zhejiang have been blocked by exports and have begun to turn to the domestic market. Zhejiang's regional advantages are no longer in place, and Chongqing is a better choice to irradiate the western market of China."

YOUNGOR (600177 quotes, stock bar) Wu Yongkang, general manager of Chongqing company, told reporters.

3 years ago, YOUNGOR invested 500 million yuan to set up a production base in Chongqing tea garden new district. Now, it has built 700 factories, 1 million 200 thousand shirts and 150 thousand suits.

Li Mingjiu, director of the Chongqing provincial economic and Trade Commission's investment promotion service center, said that in the "gradient pfer" of coastal enterprises to the central and western cities, some labor-intensive industries, such as textile, machinery manufacturing, electronics and other industries, will play a key role in speeding up the industrialization process and improving the current industrial sectors in the western region.

The benefits of westward migration to the eastern industry are also obvious. Li Mingjiu said: "pferring to the central and western regions can not only get preferential treatment for national and local policies, but also effectively control costs, especially the cost of land and wages.

Many enterprises have already tasted sweetness in this process.

Soft environment reconstruction

It has been joked that Chongqing's most prosperous Monument for Liberation has been completely occupied by Zhejiang Businessmen: Chiba glasses, Chengtai communications, Xiaolin's bedclothes and so on almost filled the eyes of Chongqing people.

Today, Zhejiang businessmen in Chongqing have reached 200 thousand people, Zhejiang businessmen have been in all districts and counties of Chongqing, practitioners also exist in almost all industrial and commercial fields, and Chongqing Zhejiang chamber of Commerce has more than 1000 member units.

Mr. Wang, a businessman in Zhejiang who did not want to be named, told reporters that entering Chongqing is very easy, but what they fear most is "closing the door and beating dogs".

In the past, there were many so-called "investment traps" in many districts and counties in Chongqing. Among them, enterprises were most afraid of the policy of "JQK" (hook in, circle and PK).

According to Ren Hongping, Secretary General of Zhejiang chamber of Commerce in Chongqing, Zhejiang businessmen generally make an industrial chain, and a large number of people are promoted by an industry.

He believes that although Chongqing has policy and resource advantages in attracting foreign investment and Undertaking Eastern industrial pfer, it has no obvious advantages compared with other western capital cities.

Chongqing should become a winner in undertaking the pfer of Eastern industries, and it also needs to work hard in the industrial chain and human resources.

Ren Hongping suggested that, after recruiting the enterprises in Zhejiang, the government should also take a step forward, especially to increase financial support for Zhejiang enterprises and effectively solve the financing problems of Zhejiang businessmen.

"We provide nanny service to enterprises in Tongliang."

Hu Jian told reporters that Chongqing Tongliang County Investment Promotion Bureau staff will help new enterprises to enter the relevant procedures, and coordinate the supply of water and electricity.

Bo Xilai also said that Chongqing has certain advantages in taxation, land policy, labor resources and market, and has a good environment for development.

Chongqing is willing to open its doors to become a platform for the development of Zhejiang's private enterprises in the central and western regions.
