Pearl River Delta Moves To Jiangxi

The Pearl River Delta, which is famous for its manufacturing industry, has experienced 30 years of rapid development and feels exhausted.

Facing the enormous pressure of processing trade policy adjustment, labor cost rising, power supply and other factors, the horn of industrial pfer in the Pearl River Delta has already blown up.

In this round of the biggest Pearl River Delta industrial pfer in history, Jiangxi, which is linked to Guangdong's mountains and water, is the first choice for many enterprises in the Pearl River Delta.

In recent years, nearly 40% Hong Kong enterprises want to move out of the Pearl River Delta. "We should be the earliest and most successful pfer enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region."

When it comes to investing in Jiangxi, Li Weimin, manager of the administrative department of Ganzhou Huajian international shoe city limited, has a smile on his face. In just six years, he achieved a leap of one billion and one hundred million yuan in output value.

And his colleagues in Dongguan are suffering.

According to a survey of Hong Kong businessmen in the Pearl River Delta region by the Hongkong Federation of industry, 37.3% of the 8 Hong Kong enterprises in the Pearl River Delta now plan to move all or part of their production capacity away from the PRD, and more than 63% of them plan to move out of Guangdong.

"In Dongguan, about 200-300 of the 1000 shoemaking enterprises went bankrupt."

Li Peng, secretary-general of the footwear industry association of Asia, said that the shoe manufacturers in Guangdong were mainly concentrated in Dongguan, Huizhou, Guangzhou, Heshan and Zhongshan, with a total of 5000-6000.

Over the past year, more than 1000 large and medium-sized shoe companies have been closed.

There are more than 3000 shoe factories in Huidong, where shoes companies are more concentrated. In the past two or three months, four hundred or five hundred small and medium-sized shoemaking and shoe factories have been closed.

"Migration is not for the sake of better development, but for survival."

Mr. Zhang, director of a shoe business inspecting from Dongguan to Ganzhou economic and Technological Development Zone, smiled bitterly. At that time, the company had already placed orders to start production, and this year, everyone is trying to shift it out.

According to the statistics of the footwear association of Asia, about 25% of the footwear enterprises in Guangdong now have factories in Vietnam, India and other countries. About 50% of them are pferred to Jiangxi, Hunan and other Midwest regions. Only about 25% of the enterprises are still on the sidelines.

The opportunity for Jiangxi to become the Pearl River Delta industrial pfer industry is the first choice for the more than 10 batch of enterprises to visit Ganzhou as one of the leaders of the Ganzhou economic and Technological Development Zone. Wang Yuchun goes to Guangdong several times every year. She is very aware of the current survival of the processing trade enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region. With the shortage of labor and the rising cost of land, "their living space has been very small", only to the central and western regions.

In an interview with reporters, Wang Yuchun simply picked up a pile of stacked materials on his desk.

"We have just sent away a business investment investigation team to inspect."

She used to run all over the country every month. Now her main job is to receive a large number of enterprises visiting the development zone. "More than 10 times a day."

She said.

This change reflects the reality that the enterprises in the Pearl River Delta are eager to move abroad.

The main road of Ganzhou economic and Technological Development Zone is surrounded by factories that are being built.

Local government officials told reporters that at present, there are about 300 enterprises in the economic and Technological Development Zone, of which 80%-90% has been pferred from the Pearl River Delta region. And from last year to this year, the number and scale of enterprises pferred have increased significantly.

Jiangxi's three biggest strength is "labor, electricity and pportation are the three most important factors that we consider in the relocation of enterprises."

Li Weimin told reporters that compared with other provinces, these three aspects of Jiangxi have obvious advantages in undertaking the industrial pfer of the Pearl River Delta.

Li Weimin, for example, says that the electricity price in Ganzhou is 40% cheaper than that in Dongguan. The annual electricity charge of Huajian shoe city reaches 15 million yuan, compared with the factory in Dongguan, only electricity charges can save 6 million yuan per year.

The geographical advantages of the adjacent Pearl River Delta have removed the worries of the pferred enterprises from supporting the industry. "Ganzhou has only 450 kilometers to Dongguan, and the distance from North Guangdong to western Guangdong is more than that."

He told reporters that Jiangxi has become the preferred place for the footwear industry in the Pearl River Delta. Many internationally renowned leading enterprises of footwear industry have come here. Besides the Huawei, the second largest domestic shoe manufacturer, the world's largest shoemaking enterprise Taiwan Baocheng group falls on High County, Taiwan capital shoe enterprise Yong en chooses Lichuan.

Maybe soon after, "world shoe factory" is in Jiangxi, Li Weimin laughs.

Yao Mugen, director of the Jiangxi provincial development and Reform Commission, said that Jiangxi is the first to bear the brunt of the current trend of industrial gradient pfer across the country.

First is the geographical location. Jiangxi is the three most dynamic economy of Golden Triangle, the direct hinterland of the country. Secondly, the lowest cost of business is Jiangxi. The labor resources of our province are abundant, and the cost of land, water and electricity is lower than that of the developed areas. The average water price is only 50% of Shanghai and 60% of Guangdong. The best place to undertake is Jiangxi, which is the first province in the central and western regions to realize the pportation docking with the developed coastal areas in terms of infrastructure.

Model Hongkong Industrial Park: a new investment way. "I have not heard of such a big project."

The taxi has been around for a long time in the Ganzhou economic and Technological Development Zone. Liu Guoping, the old driver, still did not find the "Hongkong Industrial Park" that journalists wanted to go to.

Hongkong Industrial Park covers an area of 50 square kilometers, bigger than the old city of Ganzhou. No wonder Liu Guoping doesn't know the name of the park that sounds very loud.

At present, the northwest corner of Ganzhou economic and Technological Development Zone is still a barren hill. The area of Ganzhou Hongkong Industrial Park, which covers an area of 50 square kilometers, is larger than that of the old Ganzhou city. However, the government departments from Jiangxi and Hong Kong began planning and planning until the signing of the framework agreement, which took no more than three or four months.

Speaking of the newly signed Hongkong Industrial Park project, a local government official used the "Big Mac" to describe it, because "only hardware input may need tens of billions of dollars".

As the "South Gate" of Jiangxi, Ganzhou also hopes to realize its desire to undertake the "first city" of the Pearl River Delta industrial pfer through the Hongkong Industrial Park project.

Ganzhou municipal government departments believe that the difficulties of many Hong Kong enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region are the reasons why the "Big Mac project" can be finalized in a short time.

The proposal of Hongkong Industrial Park started in December last year when the Hongkong economic and trade delegation visited Ganzhou, which immediately aroused great interest in Hongkong. After that, the two sides made frequent contacts. Finally, in late February of this year, the Ganzhou economic and Technological Development Zone and Hongkong construction (holding) Limited company signed the framework agreement on cooperation in the development of Hongkong Industrial Park.

Park location Ganzhou economic and Technological Development Zone, positioning electronic and electrical appliances, non-ferrous materials, machinery manufacturing the three major industries.

The "exclave" cooperation with the coastal industries turned out to build industrial parks. "Hongkong Industrial Park" is actually a new mode of investment - "enclave" mode.

Jiangxi provincial government officials told reporters that "enclave", also known as the industrial pfer park, refers to the level of government's introduction of funds and projects to establish industrial enterprises outside the region.

Behind the policy of "cage changing birds" in coastal areas, many local governments have also actively promoted some enterprises to shift outwards, which has provided an opportunity for Jiangxi to undertake the scale industries in these areas.

People in Ganzhou told reporters that one of the key points of attracting investment in the city this year is to build "enclaves" for coastal industries. At present, they are in contact with government and trade associations from coastal industries such as Guangdong. They have also issued a very good policy and set up industrial pfer industrial parks. They are responsible for organizing investment, development, construction and investment promotion by coastal governments, industry associations and enterprises. And according to the agreed proportion, the interests are divided into 30 years from the local financial benefit year. The first 10 years are rewarded to investors by 60% ratio and 20 years later.

"This has changed the original single investment way, all of which are the relocation of the upper scale and the entire industry, which will change the local economy greatly."

A government official in Jiangxi said.
