Hot Spot Tracking: Understanding The "New" Of Fujian Private Economy

On the first day of work in the Year of the Dragon, the provincial party committee and the provincial government held a forum for representatives of private economy in Fuzhou to extend greetings and sincere wishes to private entrepreneurs throughout the province, and listen to opinions and suggestions.

At the first meeting of the Spring Festival, provincial leaders and representatives of private economy had a discussion, which has become the practice of our province in recent years - what will private economy do in the new year? What "new" atmosphere is emerging? At the symposium, representatives of entrepreneurs from various industries throughout the province made speeches successively.

The bright red fortune words were posted, and the happy Chinese knot was hung high. The whole atmosphere of the symposium was always warm. The spirit of Fujian entrepreneurs who "dare to be the first in the world, and love to fight will win", combined with the breath of New Year, is coming, which makes people feel refreshed. In the beginning of the Year of the Dragon, where is the "new" of Fujian's private economy in the New Year? The answers were all spread out in the first meeting of the Spring Festival.

　　 Accelerate the formation of new quality productivity

According to the provincial government work report, in 2023, the private economy will contribute nearly 70% of the province's GDP, 70.6% of taxes, more than 70% of scientific and technological innovation achievements, more than 80% of urban labor employment and 94% of the number of enterprises. Behind the dazzling data, there are also famous private enterprises in Fujian: Ningde Times has won the China Industrial Award, the power battery shipment has been the world's largest for seven consecutive years, Fuyao Auto Glass has reached 34% of the market share, and has been the world's largest for a long time. Anta has been selected as one of the world's top ten most valuable sportswear brands

Standing on a new starting point and new runway, it has become a high consensus among Fujian entrepreneurs to firmly grasp the core element of scientific and technological innovation, a new quality productivity.

"Fujian is a big manufacturing province and a big private economy province. Private enterprises should actively engage in scientific and technological innovation and seize new industrial opportunities through core technology innovation and industrial chain innovation," said Lin Xiaofa, chairman of Jiumu Group Co., Ltd.

How to better play the main role of enterprise innovation and constantly improve core competitiveness? Ningde Sikeqi is an enterprise focusing on intelligent equipment manufacturing. Fu Wenhui, the chairman of the company, talked about this issue at the symposium. The intelligent equipment industry is characterized by a large number of industries and a long industrial chain. Based on this, he suggested that Fujian Province should rely on the industrial advantages of the existing national advanced manufacturing clusters, further extend and strengthen the chain, seize the opportunity to reshape the global intelligent equipment market pattern, and build new quality productivity of intelligent equipment around the implementation of industrialization.

It is the consensus of entrepreneurs to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity with digital and green technologies.

Fang Huayu, the chairman of Huafeng Huajin Co., Ltd., suggested that our province could issue standards and specifications, develop high-value utilization ways of waste textiles, carry out research on carbon footprint accounting standards and methods, and encourage enterprises to develop the "primary cycle" of "fiber to fiber" (that is, recycling waste discarded by consumers to form new products the same as the original) High quality green textiles.

　 Create new driving forces and advantages for development

Entrepreneurs attending the symposium on the same day were from traditional industries, strategic emerging industries and future industries. But without exception, all of them reflect the remarkable feature that private enterprises in Fujian take root in the real economy.

Under the wave of digitalization, how to create new driving forces and new advantages for development while adhering to the real economy? How can we better transform and upgrade traditional industries, develop and strengthen advantageous industries, strategic emerging industries and future industries? The entrepreneurs at the meeting agreed that we should focus on the main industry, deepen the industry, accelerate the digital transformation and intelligent transformation of traditional industries, and plan new fields and new tracks in advance.

The textile and clothing industry is one of the traditional competitive industries in our province. When the old industry encounters new problems of transformation and upgrading, can the development advantages and momentum that once existed be maintained? Chen Wen, president of Fujian New Huayuan Technology Group Co., Ltd., believes that the answer should be found in the characteristics of our textile industry. "The textile and clothing industry in our province is dominated by private enterprises, and there are many small and medium-sized enterprises. It is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to rely on their own strength to carry out 'smart transformation and digital transformation'. It is suggested that according to the characteristics of the textile industry, priority should be given to supporting leading enterprises to build 'smart transformation and digital transformation' benchmarks that adapt to their respective production scenarios in the production links of fiber raw materials, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, shoes and clothing, etc."

Inherit the tradition and plan for the future. In the future industry such as artificial intelligence, how can Fujian gather potential, empower and seize the first opportunity?

Wu Xinhong, the founder, chairman and CEO of Meitu, is confident in building Fujian into a new highland of artificial intelligence imaging technology. "In the field of generative AI, Meitu R&D released a vision model in 2023, which is at the level of leading in China and rapidly narrowing the gap with the international top. It is suggested to support the creation of a pilot area for the innovative application of AI imaging technology, and continue to promote the Ten Measures of Fujian Province to Promote the Development of AI Industry, which was released last September Implement the plan, maintain the layout advantage of our province in the artificial intelligence of imaging technology, and then empower the traditional industry to form new development momentum. " Wu Xinhong said.

Zou Huiyun, the general manager of Fujian Hunter Cloud Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., expressed confidence in the advantages of strategic emerging industries and future industries in our province, as did Wu Xinhong. He believes that Fujian, as the birthplace of "Digital China", has the foundation and advantages of new infrastructure. It can take the lead in promoting the open sharing of data elements of public services on the intelligent robot side, accelerate the layout of industrial digitalization and digital industrialization, cultivate and expand new momentum of development, and promote the development of intelligent robot industry.

　　 Create a blessed land for private economic development

"Optimizing the business environment is an important support for supporting the cultivation of new business types and new applications." Wu Rongzhao, chairman of Hongxingerke Industry Co., Ltd., believes that the protection of a good business environment is an unavoidable topic when talking about the digital transformation of traditional manufacturing in the new era. He suggested that, on the basis of streamlining and optimizing the policy implementation process as a whole, we should take the lead in innovating and establishing a "no come, no come" service model in tax incentives, financing support and other aspects, so as to achieve "more data and less business", and change from "people looking for policies" to "policies looking for people".

Last year, Fujian Province issued the Opinions on Implementing the Strategy of Strengthening the Private Economy in the New Era to Promote High Quality Development and 19 supporting policy documents, revised and abolished 313 local documents that hinder private enterprises from participating in market competition fairly, and worked out practical measures to create a blessed land for high-quality development of private economy.

Precise policy support and a good business environment are considered by entrepreneurs as the foundation for our province to build a blessed land for private economic development. Chen Zuotao, Chairman of Juchen Semiconductor Co., Ltd., proposed at the meeting that to build "Fujian Silicon Valley", it is necessary to increase policy support for emerging technology industries such as semiconductor and integrated circuit. He said: "It is suggested that our province launch multiple measures such as fiscal and tax policies, research and development support, talent subsidies, etc., to fully play the role of innovation, entrepreneurship, and creation of low-lying areas, and achieve the industrial agglomeration of semiconductor and integrated circuit."

There are plane trees planted, attracting the phoenix. According to statistics, in 2023, our province will introduce 2280 private manufacturing projects, and the investment in private manufacturing will increase by 8.1%; We expanded the number of business entities and newly registered 1.128 million private business entities, up 9.1%.

This year is a "tenth anniversary" year with dual significance for Yang Jing, Chairman of Longhe Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Ten years ago, Longhe Intelligent was founded. "I remember that it happened that General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote back to Fujian entrepreneurs." Yang Jing's speech at the forum was full of feelings and responsibilities. She believes that private enterprises in our province should further practice the important letter reply spirit of the General Secretary in the current development, and firmly promote high-quality development. As far as enterprise development is concerned, she suggested that private enterprises that actively implement scientific research and achieve good results can be given policy support to carry out key core technology research and other activities.

Yang Jing's words won warm applause from everyone. How can we give more sunshine and rain to the forest of private economy? How to better practice the spirit of Fujian businessmen in the new era? Developing new quality productivity, shaping new momentum and new advantages, and giving full play to the role of enterprises as the main body of innovation... The topic of the first meeting of the Spring Festival has been hot from inside the venue to outside the venue, extending to the vibrant spring. (Fujian Daily/Lin Wei)
