Transformation And Upgrading Of Zhoukou'S Footwear Industry

In this round of big investment craze, the traditional energy province is more calmly looking at its own resource advantages, and constantly seeks the path of modern industrial industry with high end and centralization. The establishment of the ten emerging strategic industries and the launching of the third industry supporting policy will provide a direction for future investment promotion.

and

8 years ago, when Liao Zhongwei returned from Taiwan to Guangdong, Dongguan, where he had been away from home for many years, and managed a factory of 1200 employees and produced high-end shoes, he probably did not even think that one day he would become a "big inland agricultural city" - a guest of the Zhoukou government.

In July 5th, a Chinese bus was constantly shuttling between Zhoukou Xihua and Shangshui county.

In every development zone and Industrial Park, Liao Zhongwei will take photos, ask the supporting facilities of the park, and annotate the plan of the park.

"This time we are going to Zhoukou to select the factory site. If everything goes well, we can expect to build a factory building in the second half of the year."

He hoped that Zhoukou would become the next Dongguan.

The reason for Liao Zhongwei's move to Zhoukou is that, under the pressure of a sharp rise in wages and difficulties in recruiting workers, the pfer is already the trend of the times because of cost considerations. Two, as a member of the footwear industry association of Taiwan District, Liao Xiwang has been developing with the strength of the trade union.

It all started in Dongguan in June this year.

"At the fair, we have been identified by the Taiwan footwear industry association as an objective advantage and development concept area to undertake the overall pfer of Dongguan Taiwanese footwear industry. We have signed 28 projects. We expect to have about 3000000000 Yuan of funds in Zhoukou in the second half of this year."

Zhoukou City Commerce Bureau office director Wang said.

Revitalize the ten major industries

"We hope that through the efforts of 20 to 30 years, we can build Zhoukou into a Taiwan businessmen's shoe manufacturing export base and even a famous Central shoe market both at home and abroad. It is still not enough to invite shoemaking companies. We still need to improve the whole industry chain."

Director Wang said that the footwear industry in Zhoukou will be integrated into shoe production, R & D, raw material supply, personnel training, trade, logistics and distribution.

This is just a microcosm.

"We must do a good job in attracting investment from industrial clusters and creating investment attracting carriers."

It is understood that around the development plan of Henan industrial agglomeration area and industrial characteristics, Henan province mainly undertake automobile and parts, electronic and electrical appliances, food, textile and clothing, building ceramics.

The formation of industrial clusters is closely related to the introduction of industrial policies in Henan.

In September 2009, Henan Province promulgated the ten major industrial restructuring and revitalization plans, and took the ten major industries as chemical industry, electronic information, biology, nonferrous metals, automobile, equipment manufacturing, textile, steel, light industry and food as the strategic and supporting industries and strategic leading industries to help Henan achieve a qualitative leap in the next three to five years.

"Food, textile, aluminum and coal chemical industries are the dominant industries in Henan.

Therefore, both foreign and central enterprises and large private enterprises in China are involved.

Henan should rely on these strategies to support the industry, continue to build and extend the industrial chain, relying on large enterprises and brands to speed up technological independent research and development, and enhance technological content.

Zheng Taisen, director of the Economic Research Institute of Henan development and Reform Commission, said.

In the ten big industries, who will become the leader of attracting investment?

In this regard, Guo Haiyan, director of the Henan Provincial Department of Commerce's foreign investment management office, made a judgement.

He believes that the revitalization of the industry will still play an important role, but it is worth noting that the "emerging strategic industries" covering the above ten industries will become an important investment direction.

"A common feature of these industries is that they are not only in line with the development direction of the future national industrial policies, but also undertake the important task of pformation and upgrading of Henan."

Guo Haiyan said.

Energy investment is heating up.

As an old official engaged in investment promotion for many years, Zhang Hua recently felt that the pressure was particularly high.

"Initially, we focused on the direction of attracting investment and undertaking industrial pfer in energy projects and labor-intensive enterprises, considering less about the layout of industries and the driving force of energy chains. Now, selecting projects should not only focus on the leading industries of provinces and cities, but also meet the policy of upgrading industries."

Zhang Hua is located in Jiaozuo, like Datong in Shanxi Province, which belongs to the coal resource city.

As close to Shanxi, Jiaozhi railway runs through the north and south, Jiaozuo as an important export of Shanxi coal east pportation, and the development of power generation supporting industries is also an important pillar industry.

At present, more than ten domestic and foreign enterprises such as Huarun electric, VES electric power company and Korea Electric Corp have been camping in Jiaozuo. Jiaozuo has become a large thermal power base in Henan province.

While expanding the power industry, Jiaozuo is facing new problems.

"Due to the rising cost of domestic production factors and the constraints of energy resources, the cost of investment has been increased to a certain extent. In addition, Jiaozuo is facing the pressure of gradual depletion of resources this year. The gradual decline of the coal industry can no longer rely on Jiaozuo's economic development."

Zhang Hua said.

In order to avoid repeating the dilemma that many resource cities are in trouble due to resource depletion, Jiaozuo has started to focus on new energy sources in recent two years: accelerating the development of solar photovoltaic industry, focusing on developing wind energy and building a new energy industry demonstration zone.

"In these years of investment promotion, we have introduced several leading solar and solar photovoltaic components and other leading enterprises at home and abroad, so as to develop regional advantage industries. In the future, we will build Jiaozuo Qinyang into the production base of solar photovoltaic industry in China."

Zhang Hua said.

It is reported that Qinyang has more than ten solar photovoltaic industry enterprises, forming a complete chain of solar energy industry mainly composed of trichlorosilane, solar encapsulation glass, EVA glue film and high purity two chlorosilane.

"The pformation and development of Jiaozuo is of great significance. Henan is China's resource province and has an advantage over conventional energy sources such as coal, mineral and natural gas. Therefore, resource-based and energy based projects have always been a hot pursuit for investors. Moreover, investment in the field of projects has been increasing year by year. However, under the current market environment and industrial upgrading, Henan's energy industry development mode must have some breakthroughs and changes."

Henan province industry and Information Technology Department of industry operation Department responsible person said.

He suggests that the existing resources can not be sold blindly in the future. This virtually restricts the improvement of the supply capability of the industrial chain. Instead, it should make use of its advantages to cooperate with investors in the medium and high-end businesses, and at the same time, make full use of external capital to enhance the external competitiveness of enterprises.

Zheng Taisen also agreed with this judgment.

He said, "in the new round of industrial restructuring, the energy industry in Henan should form a complete industrial chain through the two main paths of high-end and agglomeration, enhancing industrial added value and building a modern industrial system."

Next investment highlights

The role of attracting foreign investment in the cultivation of new industries is reflected not only in the industrial field, but also in the modern service industry.

However, the development of Henan's service industry is worrying because of the pformation from traditional agricultural province to strong industrial province and rapid economic development.

Take Zhengzhou as an example. In 2009, the proportion of the third industry in Zhengzhou GDP was 42.3%, which was only 0.7% higher than that in 2008, 41.6%.

In recent years, the development of the third industry in Zhengzhou has been hovering around 40%.

The proportion of other cities and counties in Henan is also growing little. The third industry has become the "soft rib" of Henan's economic development.

Zheng Taisen said.

Recently, Henan has promulgated policies to encourage foreign investment in high-end manufacturing, high-tech industries, new energy and energy conservation and environmental protection industries, modern agriculture, business, tourism, medical, finance, insurance, education and other modern service industries, and continue to promote foreign businesses to develop labor-intensive industries in line with environmental protection requirements.

In fact, as early as 2005, the Henan provincial government issued the "opinions on accelerating the development of Henan's service industry".

Since then, complementary and supplementary policies and measures have been introduced successively.

However, Henan's service industry has been in a "consolidation period".

"For a long time, the proportion of the traditional service industry in Henan is relatively high, and the proportion of the modern service industry is low. In particular, the modern service industry with comparative advantages, such as finance, information pmission, computer services and software industry, modern logistics, science and technology culture and so on, represents the direction of industrial development, and the industrial level needs to be improved."

Yuan Wei said.

At this point, the third industry assistance policy has come out again.

"Because of the shortage of leading enterprises in Henan's service industry and the lack of advantages, it is very difficult to integrate with the upstream and downstream industry chains by relying solely on one's own strength. This requires external force and is in line with the trend of international industrial pfer."

Wei Zhiyong, director of the Foreign Economic Affairs Department of Henan development and Reform Commission, said.

Wei Zhiyong introduced that the modern service industry characterized by knowledge as the core element and characterized by high value-added, high level and knowledge-based production and life services has gradually become a key industry for foreign capital to enter China. Financial and logistics consulting services and capital and technology intensive industries such as information and electronic industries have become the key areas of international industrial pfer.

The strong entry of foreign service industry coincides with the urgent need for development in Henan. It also indicates that foreign investment has entered the stage of industrial adjustment in Henan.

The modern service industry will become one of the key points for attracting investment in Henan in the future, not only to meet people's material and cultural needs, but also to comply with the strategy of Henan's industrial restructuring.

In Zheng Taisen's view, the direction of the new round of industrial restructuring is to conform to the trend of gradual pformation from industrial economy to service economy leading, increase the proportion of service industry and high added value manufacturing industry, enhance the industrial competitiveness of Henan Province, and build a modern industrial system with strategic support for Industry as pillar, high and new technology industry as the guide, modern agriculture as the foundation, basic industry as the support, and service industry developing in an all-round way.
