Reverse investment, this year again.  

In the first half of the year, Wuxi "all the way to the west".

To Xi'an, Luoyang and other places to carry out investment.

Even the districts "a hand" to lead the team forward.

Investment "turn to the west", or will become the norm.

In the past, Shanghai changed the operation, to the central and western cities.

Facing around the investment "scramble", no longer each other "digging".

Rather, complementary industries, complementary resources, complementary structures.

The flow of enterprises, eventually become the market choice.

01 Wuxi Merchants Turning west

Not easy to recruit a few companies, but was "dug" away.

The project is being signed, or "cut off" to come.

Now look, do not comfort the first, nor congratulate the second.

A director of investment promotion, in the exchange of bluntly:

Whether "digging away" or "be dug", there is a problem.

In the past, mentioned the developed cities to the west to attract investment, they are worried about being tapped.

Today, such an investment trajectory is not uncommon.

One is to focus on the "small and fine" start-up high-growth enterprises.

The second is that the industrial hierarchy is no longer arranged according to the geographical gradient.

Wuxi, investment is exactly this.

Instead of "look at Shanghai, learn Shanghai", it is "with the trend, seek industry".

This year, Wuxi have "turned west", to Xi'an, Luoyang investment.

For example, Liangxi District, Binhu District, district party secretary led a team to visit key enterprises, industry upstarts, universities and institutes.

Wuxi Airport Economic Development Zone, visit aerospace composite materials key enterprises and air and space power Shaanxi laboratory.

From Xi'an's investment trip, some features are presented.

On the one hand, the focus on targeting aerospace, semiconductor, new energy and other key industries.

On the other hand, visiting universities and institutes, research and development institutions to actively negotiate cooperation.

For Wuxi, in order to tap into the start-up high-growth enterprises.

Last year, the scale of the "5+X" future industry here stood at 100 billion yuan.

Including artificial intelligence, third-generation semiconductors, hydrogen energy and energy storage, commercial space and other four future industry scale of more than 10 billion yuan.  

Particularly commercial spaceflight, gathered more than 122 on the regulations of the enterprise, including many of the Oriental space, the sky soldier science and technology, blue arrow space, deep blue space and other head enterprises.

This also confirms that Wuxi "turned west", the direction of investment is more forward-looking and accurate, industrial directionality and targeting is almost the same frequency complementary.

And Luoyang, military enterprises and heavy industry enterprises, in general, is not easy to relocate.

For example, Luoyang bearings, North Echo, Henan Diesel, China Shipbuilding Materials Research Institute, China Air-Air Missile Research Institute and a large number of the country's top enterprises and research institutes.

A strong scientific research background, military background, is Luoyang comes with a quality aura.  

It is this layout, the birth of buried in technological innovation, product research and development of specialized special new small and medium-sized enterprises.

As far as investment promotion is concerned, opportunities are grasped in a subtle way.

These enterprises, faced with capital, talent and supply chain pressure, there is a rapid convergence with the market, do a large enterprise scale to seize the wind of the demand.  

Before, started in Luoyang, growing in Changzhou, AVIC lithium-ion transformed in the new aviation.

The identity of its subsidiary by the central enterprises in Luoyang converted to Changzhou local state-owned enterprises, headquarters moved from Luoyang, Henan Province to Changzhou Jintan, the local new energy industry ushered in explosive growth.

In fact, some of the companies in the Central Plains region, which have made fewer public appearances, instead have more potential and deserve to be noticed.

Wuxi went to Xi'an, Luoyang and other cities to attract investment, a full range of "casting a net", as far as possible to expand the scope, valuing the scientific research and technology, colleges and institutes and other resources.

On the other hand, the strong industrial base here, the quality of the business environment, just to undertake the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into industrial development of strong conditions.

02 Reverse Merchandising fast start 

2023, looking at the whole map of Shanghai Merchandising.

Similarly, "westward" is also the focus of attention.

At that time, there was a saying that struck a chord:

"Cities with a GDP of more than 2 trillion dollars are willing to take a look and a walk."

First time in Sichuan investment, Shanghai took the initiative.

At that time, directly to the Sichuan and Chongqing regions to hold investment promotion, more than 200 key enterprises to participate.

Mainly gathered in the biomedical, electronic information, intelligent manufacturing and other advanced manufacturing industries.

These enterprises correspond to Shanghai's thirst for manufacturing.  

The main promotion area for Shanghai Baoshan District and Jinshan District, the two places are the important bearing area of Shanghai's industry, is promoting industrial transformation.

For manufacturing companies in Sichuan, Shanghai has huge factor resources and market influence.

If you can get hold of Shanghai, it will not only help your company get more financing and opportunities, but also quickly radiate your products to the whole country and even overseas.

Those cultivated in the western city of the enterprise, in Shanghai's industrial development atmosphere under the inculcation of rapid growth, and ultimately may also lead to the development of the western city industry.   

From this point of view, is not to build a win-win cooperation bridge.

It is worth mentioning that Shanghai has also opened two designated investment promotion service organizations in Chengdu.

This shows that "reverse investment" will become a norm.

Shanghai selected enterprises, is no longer a very good development of enterprises, but instead to find potential projects.

For example, Yuefan Innovation Technology, Bestway Technology, Keimei Robotics, and Qingke Guokang are all newly established in recent years, with registered capital of less than 50 million dollars.

But they all share the common characteristic of having a certain competitive advantage in the industry and market, and are typical start-up high-growth enterprises.

Not to stare at the ready-made high-quality enterprises, but to find their own "potential shares", which is very Shanghai.

A Suzhou investment director once said in a closed-door meeting:

It's not difficult to understand a company initially, but it's critical to be able to judge it quickly and realize that it has the potential to grow.

So, reverse investment test local decision-making power, judgment, and research on industrial development.

03 Transformation of consciousness complementary synergies

Investment, all the way to the west.

In the face of this competition, not pulling each other to step on.

The current regional industrial hierarchy, not entirely in accordance with the geographic gradient in order to arrange.

From Shanghai, Wuxi "turn around to the west", undoubtedly proved the recognition of the development of manufacturing in the west.

Recruitment goals, are focused on meeting the needs of local industrial development of start-up high-growth enterprises, technology potential companies.   

Xi'an's aerospace technology, Luoyang's heavy industry heritage, basically with the future of the eastern region's industry is highly compatible.

From "West to East" to "East to West", seems to be the reverse investment, is actually complementary investment.

Whether economically developed cities, or economically backward in their own places, it is possible to cooperate and negotiate.

This breaks the one-way flow pattern, but based on industrial suitability, to promote the formation of two-way flow across the region.

In the construction of the national unified market, this step is quite ingenious.  

Many western cities see the alternation of advantages and disadvantages, and even go so far as to take the initiative to guide the advantageous enterprises to the developed coastal cities, in order to enjoy the advantages of local financial, scientific and technological resources.

Many districts in Chengdu are exploring the establishment of a kind of "reverse enclave" in cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

They set up innovative R&D centers and science and technology business incubators in developed cities, leveraging various local factors to accelerate business incubation and growth.

Eventually, these growing enterprises through the "home" to build manufacturing parks, and even headquarters relocation, to realize the fly out of the industry's feedback.  

"Use of external resources, external markets to achieve greater development", this concept reveals the "westward investment" mode behind the internal logic.  

Enterprise mobility or more market choices, under the role of market forces, resources will achieve a more optimal allocation.  

Of course, it will also bring inspiration to the western city, and further do a good job of enterprise cultivation work for the growth of enterprises to provide development space and stage.  

Understanding business, in order to better protect business. Only a large tree with deep roots, the local advantage of the enterprise will not be "abducted" away.

The key is, can we really do the research and insight into the industry, the grasp of industrial trends and foresight, so that enterprises feel the local temperature and efficiency.  

So, the western region will be advantageous enterprises to make bigger and stronger, but also a way to attract investment to do incremental.
