How Can Zhoukou Achieve A Qualitative Leap In Shoemaking?

"Central Plains Shoes capital "Project support": the rise of Zhoukou Running shoes ".

In July this year, Guo Gengmao, Secretary of the Henan provincial Party committee, went deep into Zhoukou's urban and rural research and guidance work for two years.

Guo Gengmao believes that the three major events that Zhoukou Municipal Committee and municipal government have made great efforts to do will have a major impact on the future development of Zhoukou. One of them is the "Zhongyuan shoe capital" project. In recent years, Zhoukou has focused on "building". Shoemaking industry The strategy of exporting base and building central shoe capital has formed a certain production capacity through undertaking industrial transfer, and is developing towards the benign direction of footwear industry cluster. The Central Plains shoe capital of Zhoukou's planning and construction not only has introduced some manufacturing enterprises, but most importantly, it will take Zhoukou as the center to form a complete industrial chain of shoe-making industry in Henan, which is a significant matter for Zhoukou and Henan.

I am from Zhoukou. I am proud that Zhoukou is the core grain producing area of the country. This answer has long been the "business card" of Zhoukou, and it is remembered as a fixed image of Zhoukou in Zhoukou. So what are the other proudest industrial breakthroughs in Zhoukou? Today, we have another answer -- shoemaking.

In February this year, following the formation of the footwear industry cluster, which was dominated by Xihua Kahn and Huaiyang Yatai, the "Zhongyuan shoe capital" cultural and creative park project invested by Guangdong Footwear Manufacturers Association and Guangdong new horizon Group Co., Ltd. was launched in Zhoukou's downtown area. As a result, Zhoukou has become a genuine "Central Asian shoe capital".

People in the US and Canada may not think that shoes on their feet may come from the hands of a rural woman in Zhoukou. In a short span of 10 years, a large number of shoe making enterprises have been gathered in the traditional agricultural area of Zhoukou, producing Nike, Adidas, Lining and other brand name shoes, all of which are exported to the United States, Canada and other places. At present, as the "export base of footwear industry in Henan province", Zhoukou shoes export ranks first in Henan. According to statistics, at present, the city of Zhoukou has settled 35 shoe making enterprises, with an annual output value of 2 billion yuan, and footwear exports occupy half of Henan province.

In February 4th, "Zhongyuan shoe capital" cultural and creative industrial park project was officially launched in Zhoukou. The industrial park, which is listed as the key project of Henan Province in 2015, is definitely a "big deal". According to the construction data, "Zhongyuan shoe capital" project integrates industrial center, business center, cultural center and tourist attraction into one area. The first phase covers an area of 3300 mu, with a total investment of over 20 billion yuan. The construction contents include footwear display, shoe and shoe wholesale, retail, creative research and development, cultural popularization, warehousing and logistics, tourism real estate, etc. After the project is completed, more than 1000 shoe manufacturers will be introduced, and 3 billion pairs of finished shoes will be produced annually, accounting for more than 30% of the total output of the whole country, with an annual output value of 200 billion yuan. At that time, Zhoukou is expected to become the national and global footwear industry base and become the "world shoe capital".

The landing of the project also means that Zhoukou has achieved a new breakthrough in the shoemaking industry in the coastal areas.

In July this year, Guo Gengmao, Secretary of the provincial Party committee, went deep into the investigation and guidance work in urban and rural areas in two years, and went deep into the enterprises and the grass-roots line. Guo Gengmao believes that the three major events that Zhoukou Municipal Committee and municipal government have made great efforts to do will have a major impact on the future development of Zhoukou. One of them is the "Zhongyuan shoe capital" project. In recent years, Zhoukou has revolve around the "construction of footwear export base and the implementation of the central shoe capital" strategy. Through undertaking industrial transfer, the footwear industry has formed a certain production capacity and is developing towards the benign direction of the footwear industry cluster. The Central Plains shoe capital of Zhoukou's planning and construction not only has introduced some manufacturing enterprises, but most importantly, it will take Zhoukou as the center to form a complete industrial chain of shoe-making industry in Henan, which is a significant matter for Zhoukou and Henan.

In September 28th, with clear skies, the rows of factories in the Zhoukou economic development zone were planted between green and emerald flowers and trees, forming a beautiful landscape. Entering the construction site of "Zhongyuan shoe capital", the reporter strongly felt that the blueprint for the development of the project was beginning to emerge, and a new "shoe capital" was rising quietly.

As a big agricultural city, Zhoukou is bound to face many difficulties in the process of industrialization due to the influence and restriction of historical conditions and traditional ideas.

Xu Guang, Secretary of the municipal Party committee and director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, pointed out more than once that the gap between Zhoukou and developed areas was mainly due to opportunities, weakness in urban areas, short industry, poor projects, financial difficulties, slow work style, image loss and leadership. We should make up the short board of industry and go out of the way of industrialization in the agricultural area.

Faced with the disadvantages, the municipal Party committee and the municipal government proposed to enlarge their advantages. There are about 11000000 consumers in Zhoukou who can rely on the construction of Zhengzhou airport and the meter shaped high-speed rail to enlarge the advantages of Zhoukou's highways, railways, waterways and aviation interconnection. At the same time, we must focus on the general trend. Zhoukou is located in the key area of the southeast coastal area connecting the central and western regions. It is the hub and front of the Central Plains Economic Zone. It can build Zhoukou into the Southeast Henan trade logistics center, strengthen industrial support, and promote the integration of production and city, and the interaction between cities and towns.

Guangdong new horizon group is the leading shoe material market operator in China, dealing with real estate, e-commerce, property management, hotel and exhibition industry. 20 years of struggle, from the first professional shoe market in Guangdong to today's new market group, has also promoted the development of the footwear industry, and has also established its position in the industry. Nowadays, in the footwear industry, New World Bank has become the vane of Guangzhou and even China's shoe material industry, and the three words of "New World Bank" have become synonymous with shoe materials.

As the export base of the provincial shoe making industry, how can Zhoukou achieve the leap of shoemaking industry?

In the process of promoting cooperation between Zhoukou and Guangdong, the provincial Party committee and the provincial government gave strong support. At the end of November last year, entrusted by the Secretary of the provincial Party committee, Guo Gengmao and governor Xie Fuzhan, Li Ke, the Standing Committee of the provincial Party committee and executive vice governor Li Ke, made a special trip to Guangzhou to meet with the chairman of Guangdong Footwear Manufacturers Association and Liu Suilong, chairman of Guangdong new horizon Group Co., Ltd.

During the meeting, Li Li Chen had four advantages in building "Zhongyuan shoe capital" project in Zhoukou: first, the advantages of human resources. Zhoukou has a population of about 11000000, which can provide adequate human resources protection for the footwear industry. Meanwhile, the development of shoemaking industry can also effectively solve the employment problem of local labor force, and has good economic and social benefits. The two is market advantage. Taking Zhoukou as the center and relying on the developed transportation and logistics network, it has more than 500 million people's consumption potential and huge market space. At present, the development of China's footwear industry has shifted from OEM export to domestic market, and the construction of "Zhongyuan shoe capital" project in Zhoukou can have huge market advantages in the central and even the whole country. The three is traffic superiority. Zhoukou is located on the main line of the "Mi" shaped railway in Henan province. Zhengzhou has opened an international train direct to Europe, and it can reach western Europe by 15 days in 6 countries. Zheng Hegao iron, which is passing through Zhoukou, will start construction next year. It will be opened to traffic in 2018. Zhoukou's direct access to Xinzheng airport expressway has already started construction. It will be completed and opened to traffic, and it will take only 1 hours to get to Zhengzhou airport. Zhengzhou airport is the only aviation logistics center with 5 runways and Freight Transportation approved by the State Council. Zhoukou general airport has started construction and will directly connect Zhengzhou airport. In addition, Zhoukou has the only inland waterway in Henan Province, which has prominent transportation advantages. The four is land superiority. In the increasingly scarce land situation, "Zhongyuan shoe capital" project settled in Zhoukou, can take the initiative and seize the opportunity, first come first served land advantage.

When the Central Plains shoe capital project started construction in February this year, vice governor Zhao Jiancai came to the construction site personally to issue the commencement order, and put forward requirements and encouragement for the project construction. Since the signing of the project, party secretary Xu Guang and mayor Liu Jibiao have attached great importance to and care for supporting project construction. "We need to increase our support, simplify the examination and approval procedures, improve efficiency, provide quality services, help enterprises solve difficulties and problems, and achieve zero obstacle and zero resistance in project construction. Xu Guang's speech at the commencement ceremony made us feel the confidence and sincerity of the municipal Party committee and the municipal government.

Since the start of the project, our city has been pressing ahead with the development and construction plan.

After the overall framework and objectives of the development of Zhongyuan shoe capital project were determined, the departments concerned made detailed and clear plans for the specific block planning and functional positioning in Guangdong, and carried out argumentation research, high starting point and high standard compilation development plan. At the same time, our city has done a solid job of land and housing collection. "Zhongyuan shoe capital" project covers an area of more than 2000 mu, and the scope of land acquisition is large. It involves more households. The Zhoukou Economic Development Zone, Sichuan Province and its offices have conducted in-depth investigations and studies, and properly handled various contradictions and problems in land acquisition and demolition. The comrades concerned are in the first line, and through extensive publicity, the masses of the masses are aware of the importance of implementing the project of "Zhongyuan shoe capital". The active cooperation of the masses has laid a good foundation for the smooth start of the Zhongyuan shoe capital project. At present, the first phase of the project has basically completed the demolition work, and the whole project is proceeding in an orderly way according to the plan.

The people of Zhoukou have high hopes and expectations for the Central Plains shoes capital project. As an investor, Liu Suilong, chairman of Guangdong new horizon group, is equally confident. He told reporters that the "Zhongyuan shoe capital" project will rely on the unique geographical advantages of Zhoukou, the southeast city of Commerce and trade, to give full play to exchanges and cooperation with overseas industries, and strive to build Zhoukou into a tourism and cultural center in southeastern Henan Province. It will create a new business card for Zhoukou, the "Central Plains shoes capital" European style commercial exposition city.

People from all walks of life paid attention to Zhoukou and let the ancient Zhoukou enter the "best period of development". When opportunity comes, people in Zhoukou get a knot. Quietly moving to the footwear industry in the mainland, the most suitable greenhouse was found in Zhoukou, which has grown vigorously and rapidly. It has sprung up all over the world.
