Guangdong Makes Magnificent Pformation And Pformation

Through 30 years, from the end of 1970s to the beginning of 1980s, Guangdong began to explore the stage of development. Through processing trade, Guangdong greatly accelerated the development of rural urbanization and private economy in the Pearl River Delta. Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Shunde and other towns completed the pformation from rural to urban areas in a short time.

At the same time, we have set up a mature market system, imported a large number of foreign-funded enterprises, and also developed a large number of state-owned enterprises to promote the development of private, private enterprises and supporting industries, and trained a large number of skilled industrial workers, laying a solid foundation for the accelerated development and pformation in the future.

From the late 1980s to the mid 1990s, it has been developing rapidly and comprehensively. Through vigorously absorbing foreign capital, importing technology, management experience and advanced equipment, the industry of light industry, textile, electronics, machinery, household appliances, food and building materials has been reformed in the whole province. The hi-tech industry has springing up rapidly, and it has been extended to the processing and assembly of parts and mechanical and electrical products by simple processing and assembly, which is mainly made of traditional light industrial products.

In the middle and late 1990s, the development and structural adjustment period has been developing along with the development of high-tech products processing and assembly and localization matching production. The industry has entered a new stage of pition from light to heavy, and from OEM to ODM to OBM.

Our province will vigorously develop new industries with high technology, high added value, radiation and technology spillovers to domestic industries, and attract multinationals, especially the world's top 500 enterprises, to set up manufacturing bases and regional headquarters, R & D centers and procurement centers in our province.

At present, 181 of the top 500 enterprises in the world have set up 696 enterprises in our province.

The handbag zipper of Taiping handbag factory was gently opened, and the curtain of "made in Guangdong" was unwittingly set off, creating a wave of manufacturing competition for the next 30 years.

30 years of ups and downs, carrying Guangdong's glory and dream of "Guangdong manufacturing", is experiencing the most difficult pformation in 30 years -- towards Guangdong creation.

Confused, Guangdong manufacturing has suffered from internal and external troubles. Just like a wonderful novel, there will always be ups and downs of the plot. Guangdong first tasted the sweetness of processing trade.

"Dongguan traffic jam, global shortage" is no longer a rare thing. Guangdong's export of toys to the United States is experiencing trade friction. The increase in us Bobbi's price by 10% is a vivid manifestation of this international industrial chain.

But in the process of economic and social development pformation, especially in the process of pformation and upgrading of foreign trade and economic development, it is more and more obvious than the rest of the country.

Since last year, the world's economic growth has been slowed down by the US subprime mortgage crisis. Guangdong's foreign trade faces unprecedented challenges. In the first half of this year, the six import and export indicators dropped sharply, and the export growth rate was even lower than 8.9 percentage points nationwide. Especially, the export of labor intensive traditional bulk commodities was worrying. Exports of textiles and clothing and plastic products all showed negative growth, while the export volume of major markets in the United States and Hongkong also decreased significantly.

At the same time, the hidden problems of traditional development patterns and concepts that are covered by Guangdong's long-term high-speed development are gradually revealed.

With the low cost of labor, land, energy and other cost advantages gradually lost, coupled with the adjustment of the national macro policy and the rise of processing and manufacturing industries in the surrounding areas, "made in Guangdong" is facing severe challenges.

In Dongguan, thousands of shoe enterprises have been closed down? Shenzhen toy enterprises have withdrawn from the export market collectively. There are four kinds of bad rumors, which reflect the common question mark in the minds of the people: to develop to today's Guangdong, where to go?

With no change in its opening up, however, its eyes are much more critical. Enterprises with high energy consumption, high pollution and labor intensive are declined, while high-tech enterprises with high added value have been introduced enthusiastically.

In fact, the pformation from an export-oriented economy to an open economy has quietly begun from the end of the last century: from the main means of attracting foreign investment, such as preferential policies, tax cuts and profit margins, to rely mainly on improving the soft and hard environment and improving the overall competitiveness; and changing from relying mainly on quantity expansion to scale, quality and efficiency simultaneously, mainly from "import" to "import" and "go out" simultaneously.

At the two plenary session of the Ten Session of the provincial Party committee at the end of December 2007, Deng Xiaoping, the Secretary of the provincial Party committee who came to power for only a month, put forward "a new round of great development with a new round of ideological emancipation". More quotes from the famous saying: "killing a bloody road!" this spirit not only reminds us of the surging years, but also brings back the courage of the reform and opening up, the courage to forge ahead and the vitality of exploring new roads.

The ideological surge brought about by the emancipation of the mind and learning and discussion activities lasted for half a year, making Cantonese soberly aware of the limitations of traditional development methods and the necessity of pformation.

The low cost expansion model based on the weak industrial foundation is the fundamental reason for the "Guangdong manufacturing" dilemma.

In the first place, Guangdong must enhance its capability of independent development and endogenous driving force, promote the pformation and upgrading of processing trade and accelerate the construction of modern industrial system.

There are so many English abbreviations that are often hung on the lips of Wang Yang secretary and governor Huang Huahua: OEM, ODM and OBM.

The Chinese name of OEM is "OEM", which accounts for the vast majority of processing trade in our province and is at the lowest end of the "smile curve".

Processing trade is only equivalent to a manufacturing workshop. Therefore, no pricing power and sales power are often squeezed in the tide of rising cost.

The extension to the "smile curve" means that the pformation from "Guangdong manufacturing" to "Guangdong creation" and "Guangdong service", from OEM to ODM (commissioned design production) and OBM (private brand marketing) pformation is also regarded as the main upgrading path to break through the dilemma of "Guangdong manufacturing".

In the face of the international difficulties in the pformation and upgrading of processing trade, the Pearl River Delta once again played a major role in the pformation and upgrading of the Pearl River Delta as well as the exemplary role of pformation and upgrading for the whole country.

The Pearl River Delta will focus on building the "national pformation and upgrading of processing trade demonstration area", and it will be one of the key points and carriers for the construction of modern industrial system in our province.

At the same time, a series of supportive policies have been introduced to help enterprises with raw materials processing to pform their products in situ.

It has been revealed that a number of opinions on promoting pformation and upgrading of processing trade in Guangdong will also be introduced in the near future.

When the business owners in the PRD are working hard for pformation and upgrading, it may not be expected that every step they make may become a historical detail for people to commemorate another ideological emancipation campaign in Guangdong a few years later.

Experts comment that we should continue to emancipate our minds and upgrade processing trade. "The decline in processing trade is a problem facing the whole world. But the processing trade must continue to go on. The key is to go higher and higher.

For example, the processing trade of Boeing aircraft is available in Shenyang, Shanghai, Xi'an and Chengdu, but there is no big processing trade in Guangdong.

So, what we need to upgrade is the industrial chain, from the low end to the high end.

Wang Jun, Dean of the Academy of Social Sciences, Zhongshan University, said.

If the Taiping handbag factory was located in Guangdong, it was the result of emancipating the mind and reforming and opening up. Then, the "made in Guangdong" triggered by the "three to one complement" will burst into huge energy while adapting to the market changes and upgrading in time. This also needs to emancipate the mind and deepen reform and opening up.

For the birth of Taiping handbag factory, Wang Jun believed that the most important significance was to ignite and launch the engine of utilizing foreign capital, break through the imprisonment of system and idea for many years, and become the starting point of the omni-directional and multi-level opening up pattern.

At the same time, it is the production and processing mode represented by it that has promoted the economic miracle of the Pearl River Delta.

But we know that the relative price of elements and the external environment can not remain unchanged. Economic development will raise the level of income and inevitably bring about rising costs.

With the increase of exchange rate and the enhancement of environmental awareness, many internal and external environments have changed, and processing trade is facing an inevitable trend now.

Wang Jun said that at present, Guangdong has also realized that labor intensive industries can not be completely pferred out, upgrading locally, pforming from processing trade to foreign-funded enterprises, encouraging domestic sales and so on. These policies are all right.
