This period of time, the "Suzhou Super League" tournament, one after another screen.

On the surface, this is the green field "bulk Jiangsu" cultural carnival. But in reality, behind the scenes is the economic competition of 13 cities.

Knowing that Jiangsu is the only province in the country where there is no "big brother", each of the 13 cities is one of the top 100 cities, and there are also 24 top 100 counties.

Some people may say that these strong counties are because of their inherent good conditions.

But looking around the country, there are also many stories of small counties struggling on their own and prying big industries.

Changfeng County in Anhui Province, Dong'an County and Jianghua Yao Autonomous County in Hunan Province are the top students in this regard.

01 Anhui Changfeng from small parts to big car factory

Once upon a time, Changfeng County, people, industrial base is thin, agricultural harvests rely on the sky to eat, and even on the list of "national poverty-stricken counties".

Who would have thought that they started from the "small parts", 30 years later, can leap into the "big car factory" gathering place.

In 2024, Changfeng will be able to produce 950,000 new energy vehicles a year, accounting for 59 percent of the province of Anhui and ranking first in the country's counties.

How did this happen?

First of all, use the location advantage, their own land to engage in construction.

Changfeng next to the Hefei metropolitan area, aiming at auto parts supporting track. In advance of the town of Xia Tang reserve land, standard land reform, to the future of the big project ready "ready-made plots".

2021, Hefei BYD's presence, but also to the development of Changfeng added a fire.

The local government is also not ambiguous, the local stock of resources are revitalized. For example, 1,123 acres of low-utility land have been put to good use.

They centered around new energy vehicles, from vehicle manufacturing to core components, to after-market services, precise investment, a link does not fall.

By 2023, well-known companies such as China Innovation Aviation and Faurecia, as well as more than 200 supporting enterprises have come to form a "3-hour industrial supply ecosystem".

Secondly, Changfeng has woven the industrial chain tightly, even taking into account battery recycling.

Here, the new energy automobile industry is not relying on a single enterprise to fight alone, but from the upstream and downstream of the whole chain are connected, forming a complete closed loop.

For example, BYD does not only build cars in Changfeng, but also produces batteries, electronic control systems and battery packs locally. 60% of the key parts can be handled without leaving the county.

In addition, once BYD came, tier-one suppliers such as Giti Tire and Silver Wheel Thermal Management followed.

Second-tier suppliers (such as Santai New Energy) also followed the light, extending to acoustic materials, testing and certification, etc., "vehicle - parts - service" the whole chain are up.

Finally, the government as a good "waiter", so that enterprises are free from worries.

Not only let BYD set up R & D centers in the Yangtze River Delta, the layout of the intelligent network, automotive chips and other cutting-edge areas, but also with the China University of Science and Technology, Hefei University to build a total of industrial colleges, manufacturing, R & D together.

There is also a special "automobile office", service new energy automobile enterprises, innovative "four one" mechanism:

A project task force, a set of elements of the list, a joint meeting, a county leader at the point.

Enterprises have problems that can be solved immediately, realizing "zero time difference".

Opportunities come to those who are prepared.

Changfeng County is like this, the earlier years to save a good home base, the opportunity to immediately seize the recruitment of large projects, the industry chain weaving.

The government as a good "waiter", so that enterprises feel at ease with the development of the "small parts" from the "small parts" reverse into a "big car factory".

02 Dong'an, Jianghua small industry into a big sign

First talk about the "hometown of flux" Dong'an County, mainly by traditional advantages, coupled with technological innovation secondary activation.

2002~2005 period, Dong'an flux sales have led the country for four consecutive years, production accounted for half of the country.

But the late technology did not keep up, the pace slowed down.

To this end, they iterative technology as a breakthrough, Xiangjiang Science and Technology, a leading enterprise to take the lead, independent research and development of fully automated electric furnace melting technology, to promote the flux products from the "low fluorine environmental protection" to the "military-grade special flux" upgrade.

Government services, but also timely follow-up.

The leaders of the county party committee and the county government have repeatedly researched the enterprises, and introduced 72 industrial support policies, from credit financing to land use approval to finance and tax, to alleviate the pressure of cash flow of enterprises in all aspects.

Also built 12,000 square meters of standard factory buildings, in the form of leasing, so that enterprises to reduce the heavy asset investment.

And, the government also encourages enterprises to attract business on their own and as agents, and through the "business map" (policy interpretation, industrial chain panorama, office guide, etc.), so that investors can understand and do convenient.

Dongan also rely on the local rich manganese ore and power resources, planning flux industrial park, promote enterprise "group" development, the formation of a complete chain from ore refining to welding equipment supporting.

To put it bluntly, it is the enterprise sings the main role, the policy to become advantageous, investment to attract wisdom, and business map one-stop service, the flux industry to do up again.

At present, Dong'an flux industry-related enterprises have 23, annual output value of 4 billion yuan, nearly a quarter of the country's industrial industry rely on it.

Then look at Jianghua Yao Autonomous County, "small motor" pry "big industry", relying on rare earth resources + location advantages.

Every eight motors in the country, there is a "Jianghua made".

There are 74 enterprises in the smart small home appliance motor industry cluster here. 2024, the output value of the motor industry in Jianghua exceeded 8.6 billion yuan, and it has become the most complete and efficient motor industry cluster in the central region.

How is it made?

First recognize their own advantages.

On the one hand, Jianghua has rare earth resources, which is the core raw material of permanent magnet materials;

On the other hand, next to Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, can undertake industrial transfer, technology exchange is also convenient.

In the choice of industry, others grab the whole machine, they specialize in the "heart".

The motor industry belongs to the "industrial heart", they focus on the field, to create "rare earth new materials + electrical appliances" featured industry.

The government is also a full effort, has introduced "preferential policies for investment promotion twenty provisions" "investment target management assessment methods", clear county leaders, county units, townships, investment tasks, the formation of "everyone is a merchant, everyone is the image of Jianghua" of the national investment atmosphere.

The introduction of Midea, Nepal and other brands of core suppliers (such as Chang Jin Cheng Electrical), from die-casting, silicon steel sheet to the finished motor, 46 processes are all done locally.

"Order in the morning, ship in the afternoon."

It is worth noting that both Dong'an and Jianghua are demonstration zones for the transfer of industries from southern Hunan to western Hunan.

With the advantage of this location, they play "low cost + good policy" signboard, to attract labor-intensive and technology-intensive enterprises in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay Area, as well as a large number of market orders.

For example, Jianghua 64 motor enterprises, more than 70% from Guangdong; Dong'an guitar, 90% of the orders from the Pearl River Delta.

03 Summary of commonality Standing firm by characteristics

Overall, the success of Changfeng, Dong'an and Jianghua is to find their own unique position in the global industrial chain. The success of which is simply a three-step process:

①Choose the right path: find a chain, make a deep point.

The three counties did not follow the trend to engage in "big and comprehensive", but to see what resources they have, what the market is optimistic about, which industry chain can be stretched.

Industry selection, rely on the characteristics of a stable footing, the establishment of irreplaceable.

They focus on niche areas, selecting 1~2 niche industry chains with growth space for deep plowing, and building differentiated competitiveness through "one county, one chain".

For example, Changfeng's new energy vehicles, Dong'an's flux, and Jianghua's motors, have been specializing in these fields for decades, and they have made big signs out of the niche industries.

②Chain Merchants: from recruiting big business, to create ecological.

Now investment, not just to the land, give policy so simple.

The three counties, mainly to build a good industrial chain ecosystem, relying on leading enterprises to attract upstream and downstream, to business associations to pull resources, with industrial funds to leverage investment.

Take Changfeng for example, around BYD, from manufacturing base to R & D, sales, listing, suppliers, funds, everything, from "single project" to "ecological prosperity" change.

Jianghua, through the high concentration of industrial resources, to attract more related supporting enterprises to land, and continue to expand the "circle of friends".

The local enterprise Hunan Changjin Electric, through business investment, drive 17 upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to move in, forming a "garden" industrial ecology.

3 full-cycle service: new solutions to old problems

Land, capital, talent, these are the county's development of the old difficulties. But these three counties, the government has moved the brain.

Jianghua with through equity cooperation (investor) + engineering general contracting (EPC) + operations management (O) of the integration model, the implementation of the "platform company on behalf of the construction + repurchase", do a good job in the park standard plant construction;

Changfeng engaged in "standard land + commitment system

Changfeng has implemented the "standard land + commitment system", which allows BYD Hefei base to start construction in 42 days from the signing of the contract, reducing the length of the process by more than 60% compared to the traditional process;

Dong'an pushes forward the "subsidies for technological reform + alliance construction" to create a good investment environment.

In terms of talent, the use of industry, academia and research to enhance the strength.

Jianghua local enterprises Fenghui motor, the construction of Hunan provincial motor inspection, testing and certification service center, and with the Central South University to jointly establish the production, learning and research and school-enterprise cooperation talent training base.

These are new solutions to old problems, giving similar counties a replicable methodology.

To summarize.

These three counties, through the model of "selecting chain - extending chain - full service", have gone from "waiting for others to come" to "taking the initiative to create chain", and from "relying on resources to fight hard" to "relying on resources to fight hard". The "ecological soft power", out of a new way of high-quality development, "relying on resources" to "soft power".

It is believed that with the acceleration of industrial transfer, county governance capacity to improve, like this "small but fine" "specialized and strong" county industrial clusters will be more and more, becoming a solid backing for China's economy.
