Changshu, Jiangsu, 5 Is The Southeastern Miracle.

In a short span of 5 years, it has gone through a more than 10 years of development in a mature development area, and has made itself into the fastest developing area in Jiangsu and the most investment development zone in the Yangtze River Delta. At the same time, within 5 years, it has rapidly created its own unique industrial advantages and development path. It has not only become the "hot spot" of the current international capital competition, but also laid a solid foundation for the sustainable development in the coming years.

This is the southeast development zone of Changshu, Jiangsu, a development zone that can be called "southeastern miracle".

1 new investment is at the top of the list. In 2003, the Changshu southeast development area was approved by the Jiangsu provincial government.

The economic development zone, which was born out of the "export-oriented agricultural comprehensive development zone", grew and grew rapidly in just 5 years and became the new economic engine of Changshu.

Over the past 5 years, the main economic indicators of the southeast development zone, such as gross domestic product, gross industrial output value and fiscal revenue, have grown at an average annual rate of over 40%. New investments of more than US $10 million and the world's top 500 projects are among the top of the provincial development zones.

At present, more than 300 Chinese and foreign enterprises from more than 20 countries and regions such as Germany, the United States and France have settled in the southeast development area, including Taiwan Foxconn technology, Japan TOYOTA, Hitachi, Germany mainland, Ho Li, USA Delphi, and many other top 500 enterprises in the world.

In the first 10 months of this year, 11 new manufacturing projects, including IT, precision machinery, auto parts and so on, were newly introduced, with a total registered foreign capital of 220 million US dollars.

The introduction of 3 modern service industry projects, completed the registration of foreign capital of US $120 million, and 2 months ahead of schedule, fulfilled the target of 152% of the registered foreign investment target of the whole year.

Since the beginning of this year, the international economic environment is becoming more and more serious. However, the development momentum of the southeast development zone is still rapid. The construction area of the Changshu science and Technology City, which covers an area of 400 mu, is in full swing, and the 27 thousand square meter Changshu Science and technology city complex and 110 thousand square meters Bosideng will be breaking ground in the near future.

And Foxconn life supporting area, brilliant galaxy business center, foreign employee accommodation area, Southeast international hospital and other major projects are also queuing up.

2. At the beginning of the "grafting" new industry in the traditional industries, the Southeast Changshu Development Zone established a clearer industrial positioning and rational investment concept.

One of the strategies is to rely on the traditional foundation of Changshou City's strong machinery industry to give priority to the development of precision machinery industry with auto parts as its main axis, and strive to be bigger and stronger.

In 2006, the "Changshu Auto Parts Industrial Park" was formally established.

At present, the world famous automobile engine brake system manufacturer Germany Germany automobile, automobile industry rubber and plastics expert Germany condick, global auto parts supplier giant Delphi Group, Japan needle roller bearings largest production enterprise Seiko Co., Ltd., engine rocker biggest manufacturer OTICS, Taiwan Formosa group associated enterprise, tire cord fabric production enterprise biggest enterprise such as Fumao Xingye and other quality enterprises come in.

Now, the Changshu auto parts industry park has absorbed more than 60 auto parts production enterprises, including automobile diesel engine fuel pump, airbag, automobile wheel hub, electric motor reverser, GPS navigation system, and so on.

What is worth mentioning is that with the increasing number of enterprises entering, more and more production enterprises will move to Changshu in the research and design links of high-end industrial chain.

In addition, the development zone has also co operated with Toyota Corporation to build TOYOTA's largest logistics park in mainland China, distributing thousands of spare parts and supplies to TOYOTA manufacturers and 4S stores. At the same time, it brings excellent opportunities for the development of the auto parts industry in the southeast development area.

(3) the "IT" business opportunities have been excavated. Changshu has an advantageous position in the geographical map of the Yangtze River Delta: East to Shanghai, South to Kunshan, Suzhou, West to Wuxi and Jiangyin, northwest to Zhangjiagang, to the "golden waterway" of the Yangtze River, Su Jiahang expressway, high-speed along the Yangtze River and Sutong bridge across the border, and Changshu port is at hand.

At the same time, Changshu is just the center of China's IT industrial belt (Wuxi Suzhou Kunshan).

Changshu southeast development area is determined to find its own IT industry development path and breakthrough strategy.

To seize the IT industry seems to be a fashionable move in the development zones at present. However, the Southeast Changshu Development Zone has not adopted the "hard hitting" investment strategy directly competing with the relatively strong fraternal cities and development zones. Instead, it has taken the initiative to serve the IT industrial belt and do a good job of "replenishment" (supplementary industry chain).

At first, the Development Zone introduced Tai Chi technology, golden image electronics, Dongjia photoelectric and ultra Yu Electronic regulations model, brand electronic foundation material enterprises, vertically integrated the electronic material industry, and constantly elongated and thickened the industrial chain.

On this basis, we will push forward the introduction of IT core technology projects.

Since then, the southeast development zone has introduced a number of high-end projects of IT industry chain, such as Taiwan new world electronics, color source electronics, Kumho electric, Korea and so on.

At present, along with the establishment of electronic information industry base, the intensification and scale of the IT industry in the southeast development zone are getting wider and wider.

Taiwan Xinpu technology investment Xinshi electronics mainly produces lithium batteries for notebook computers. It belongs to the National Encouragement project, and now ranks first in the world.

In November 2007, the Taiwan Foxconn project, which invested a total of 1 billion 500 million dollars, contracted for the southeast development area. This has created favorable conditions for promoting the horizontal expansion and vertical extension of the development zone to the IT industry chain.

In August of this year, Fulin Electronics Technology (Changshu) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Foxconn group, was formally put into operation. It is expected to produce 40 million sets of laptop components annually.

Another investment project of Foxconn group, Fuyang Electronic Technology (Changshu) Co., Ltd. has also completed the registration of capital account, and is making a bigger investment plan.

4 the source of the rising secret: "land, man and". In July this year, the world's largest automotive engine brake system manufacturer and the 500 largest enterprise, the German continental car, officially opened in Southeast Changshu development zone.

It is understood that in the early stage of investment inspection, the mainland automobile has listed 15 cities along the coast of China as its "candidate".

What makes Changshu southeast development area stand out and become the final location of the mainland automobile?

Ma Kinski, general manager of continental Automotive Systems (Changshu), told reporters in an interview with the Morning Post reporter: "Changshu has excellent geographical location and is closer to our customers.

In addition, the overall quality of the staff is relatively high, the investment cost is low, the service of the development zone is warm and thoughtful, which gives us a deep impression and is also an important reason for us to settle down.

As a wholly-owned German company, mainland China has 50 German employees working in Changshu, most of whom are in Shanghai.

"But no one ever complained to me.

From here to my home in the suburbs of Shanghai, it only takes 1 hours and 50 minutes. It's very convenient. "

Ma Kinski told the Morning Post reporter that 4 of their employees traveled to and from Shanghai and Changshu every day, and more German employees settled in Changshu.

To attract the world's second largest automobile and industrial bearing manufacturer, Japan Seiko Co., Ltd. settled in Changshu, the reason is more dedication and efficiency of the development team.

Fan Wensheng, deputy general manager of Changshu Nash bearing company, recalled that he had not been satisfied with the individual businessmen in Changshu when he started the site selection at the end of 2003. "At that time, some investment professionals were not professional enough, sometimes they were not clear about the professional terms I asked.

I was going to give up.

Just when he left Changshu to return to Suzhou that evening, the person in charge of the southeast development area worked with several merchants to make a special trip to the hotel where he stayed.

"This kind of dedication and earnest attitude surprised me."

Fan Wensheng recalls.

On the morning of the second day, the staff of the Development Zone put him in the presence of all the information he needed. "It makes people feel that they are very motivated and efficient."

Now, the staff of the development zone have not only made up for the homework of "professional investment", but also deeply rooted in the sense of "emotional retention" and enthusiastic service.

Besides, the abundant human resources in Changshu and its surrounding areas are also important reasons for attracting many foreign enterprises to settle in the southeast development area.

Changshu Institute Of Technology is one of the few comprehensive universities in the county-level cities of China. It is only 8 minutes away from the development zone. The Changshu Vocational Education Center in Jiangsu is the largest vocational education base in the counties and cities of the province, giving priority to the provision of sufficient and high-quality professional and technical personnel for the development zone.

There are more than 6000 graduates each year in two institutions, giving priority to the delivery of talents to enterprises in the region.

In addition, the development zone has established a channel for human resources supply and demand outside the region to ensure the various employment needs of investors.
