Traditional Industries Are Facing New Challenges. How Can Shaodong'S Economy Improve?

Shaodong, an inland county in central Hunan, which has a population of nearly 1 million 300 thousand, has no edge, no sea and no river. There is no strong resources and lack of regional advantages. But in a spirit of striving for self-improvement, it won the reputation of "100 towns, a city of Commerce and commerce, and a capital city of private capital", creating a business legend, "Shaodong economic phenomenon".

This is a sample of the rapid development of Hunan businessmen, and a miniature of China's private economy from rising to changing.

Today, along with the pace of reform and upgrading, Shao Dongxing and Wang Shang Shang continue to write a new chapter.

The lighters export ranks first in the country, the annual output of luggage and bags is among the top four in the country, the primary and secondary school bags occupy nearly 70% of the national market share, the market scale of the bridge is fourth, and the total output value of the private economy is 21 billion 200 million yuan.

In the first year of 13th Five-Year, Shaodong has many honors such as "China's most powerful demonstration counties with strong investment potential" and "national sustainable development experimentation area". "Shaodong made" and "Shao Dongzhi made" enter the whole country and even the whole world.

Behind the prestigious reputation, you can't imagine that Shaodong once had no resources to develop, nor strong financial strength.

Shao Dongren can only start selling small buttons such as buttons, toothbrushes, pots, hardware and so on from carrying pole, setting up stalls, and opening small stores. Starting from scratch, he started to save capital and develop products one by one, forming a phenomenon of "where there is market and where there are Shaodong people".

As early as the last century 80 era, Shaodong people's business footprint is all over the country.

Whether it is the economically developed Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta or the remote northwest corner, the Shaodong accent can be heard.

With the clarion call of reform and opening up, the people of Shaodong began to go out of the country vigorously and take all the way to seize the city and quickly occupy it.

Other overseas markets, including far more African and European and American markets, have become the commercial sites of Shaodong people.

According to statistics, taking Shaodong as the starting point, covering the whole country and radiating the whole world, more than 40 businessmen in Shaodong are active in the whole country and around the world. Only 100 thousand of ASEAN people have been established, and Thailand Hunan Industrial Park and Laos Hunan Industrial Park have been invested in ASEAN.

By the end of 2016, there were 226 overseas investment enterprises in Shaodong.

Lighters, schoolbags, red packets, wrenches, pliers...

These seemingly ordinary commodities have been made into big industries by Shaodong people. They have gone out of the country to break out of the big market. Shaodong people have also won the praise of "Oriental Jews" with their wisdom.

Seizing the opportunity, in 1990s, Shaodong put forward the economic development idea of "promoting the business to build the county", and built dozens of specialized markets, such as Shaodong industrial products market, Shaodong appliance city, Zhongnan Hardware City and so on. The scale has the status in the whole province and even in the central and southern regions, and gradually developed into the famous "business city".

Many private enterprises and entrepreneurs have also grown rapidly in this period.

By 2001, Shaodong's GDP had reached 7 billion 42 million yuan, with a revenue of 242 million yuan, and its comprehensive strength ranked the top 5 in Hunan province.

In the early twenty-first Century, Shaodong put forward the strategy of "promoting the county by industry" to build the development mode of "small commodities, big industries, small enterprises and large gathering".

In recent years, Shaodong has become a professional export base for lighters and export bases for luggage and bags in Hunan province.

Thanks to the platform agglomeration effect, Shaodong lighters and other manufacturing industries have formed a complete industrial chain integrating mold development, parts supply, production and sales, and become the "first county of China's lighters for injection molding".

Leather goods and bags industry has also sprung up, forming a wave of self export.

Shaodong was named "China's luggage production base".

From scratch and from small to large, the fire of Shaodong's private economy has become more prosperous and has become a pioneer and strong force in Hunan merchants.

Shaodong, a small town, creates a vibrant economic mode while creating value.

However, the Shaodong people have gained numerous successes, and have experienced the pain of wandering and confusion.

Enterprises are many and not strong, small but not refined, brand awareness is weak, technology content is low, are facing more new challenges.

In the current global economic downturn, the traditional industries are facing structural adjustment and pformation and upgrading of the new situation, how to make Shaodong's economy better? With the spirit of "unity and struggle, hard struggle, pragmatic development and pioneering spirit", Shaodong people have handed out a wonderful answer.

Faced with the brutal situation of "big fish eating small fish" in the tide of market economy, local enterprises are united in their efforts to develop together and go all out.

"Because overseas information is blocked, it is very risky for enterprises to exploit overseas markets alone. The export trade of luggage and leather goods in Shaodong has been limited for many years, and many enterprises have to export through Zhejiang Yiwu."

Ning Hongyan, deputy director of Shaodong Commerce Bureau, said that the risks brought by credit and triangle debts always affect the survival of enterprises.

It was not until 2012 that the situation of "dressing for others" was changed.

In Shaodong Hunan Industrial Park, we met Liu Chunying, one of the writers of the Shaodong business legend.

In 2009, he led the establishment of the Hunan chamber of Commerce in Thailand and returned to his hometown. He also initiated the establishment of Shaodong Association of luggage and garment import and export enterprises.

In 2014, Liu Chunying solely invested in the construction of Longyuan SME Entrepreneurship Center, and became the 4 fastest industrial park in the Shao Dongxiang Industrial Park.

"None of the overseas businessmen who are visiting the park now are successful."

Liu Chunying said with great assurance.

Through joint industry associations in the province, carrying the platform resources of overseas chambers of Commerce, driving the pformation and upgrading of traditional industries in Shaodong, the export performance of enterprises has doubled.

In 2016, there were 128 foreign-related luggage enterprises in the county.

Exports exceeded 350 million dollars.

At the same time, Shaodong county Party committee, county government and various industries urge the pformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Automation and intellectualization deduce the "pformation and replacement" made by Shaodong.

At the beginning of this century, hundreds of lighters production workshop sprung up in Shaodong, and the whole industry was "numerous, small, scattered and chaotic".

Starting in 2005, the Shaodong lighters industry launched an industrial revolution. In the 2007 year of the year, 13 qualified export enterprises of lighters set up a Shaodong lighter export supervision committee, and began to build standardized factories and production automation pformation.

As a result, scattered scattered small workshops have been pformed into intensive modern industrial parks, and gradually formed an industrial cluster integrating production, operation, research and development, and logistics.

"This is our only way out."

Hunan Dongyi electric Limited by Share Ltd responsible person said.

"Dongyi" is the earliest lightest manufacturer in Shaodong with the largest industry scale.

In 2016, the company invested about 30000000 yuan to automate the 13 processes such as inflatable, fire test, quality inspection and sticker. The manual output reduced by 80%, while the output value increased by 40%. The whole factory can produce 3 million 600 thousand lighters a day.

The company also created more than 20 lighter appearance patents and 10 design patents.

Lighter is only a microcosm of Shaodong's industrial pformation and upgrading.

Today's Shaodong is beating the notes of development and playing the upgraded movement.

The intelligent hanging system is guiding the precision machining of the workers on the assembly line. The hardware tools are being produced, and the newly imported high-end equipment begins to replace the fire forge; the red envelope processing, dozens of automatic machines run at high speed.

The pformation and upgrading has made Shao Donggong's business development more powerful. Intelligent pformers, industrial batteries, industrial sewing machines, locomotive accessories and a series of "Shao Dongzhi made" products have gone global, calling the world's similar international brands.

"In the next 5 years, Shaodong will fully implement the development strategy of" Xinggong Wang Shang, pformation and upgrading ", in order to build Shaodong into a national innovation and entrepreneurship experimentation area, a small commodity logistics distribution center in the central region, and a pioneer area for the revitalization and development of Hunan's light industry, and strive to build an innovative, prosperous and livable Shaodong.

At the Thirteenth Party Congress of Shaodong County, Shen Zhiding, the Secretary of the county Party committee, made a speech.
