Have you ever heard this saying during investment promotion efforts: “The higher the official’s rank, the bigger the business they attract”? The meaning is quite straightforward. The higher the rank, the more resources—such as policies, funds, and land—one can mobilize, and the larger the scale and investment amount of the projects that are attracted.Some attribute this phenomenon simply to authority, believing that senior leaders hold more approval and decision-making power, which is why they can secure major projects. However, the real key behind rank lies not in the extent of power or the number of privileges held, but in the value senior leaders bring in terms of resource integration, credibility, and shared vision.
In investment promotion efforts, the method of land supply significantly impacts the efficiency of project implementation. With the gradual rise of emerging industries, traditional, one-size-fits-all land supply models can no longer meet the diverse production needs of enterprises. On the one hand, the fixed-term land grant model lacks the flexibility to adapt to corporate investment and production cycles, leading to a certain degree of land resource idleness. On the other hand, inadequate mechanisms for project entry and exit make it difficult to phase out old projects and bring in new ones, thereby undermining the flexibility and efficiency of investment promotion efforts.
Recently, leadership changes have taken place in many regions. One notable trend is the increasing frequency of personnel exchanges between the north and south. These cross-provincial appointments have once again drawn attention. The return of officials from the south who were previously transferred to the north sends a new signal. In terms of investment promotion, this represents not only targeted cross-provincial exchanges but also the practical implementation of a coordinated national strategy.
Having served in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, he has once again taken the helm in Jiangsu. The ranks of provincial government leaders born in the 1970s have grown by one. Recently, Liu Xiaotao assumed the post of Governor of Jiangsu. His appointment is seen as a crucial step toward Jiangsu’s high-quality development. Standing at this new starting point, can Jiangsu write a new chapter in the “Southern Jiangsu Miracle”?
Recently, Zhuhai announced the repeal of its "5.0 Industrial New Space" policy. This reflects the local government’s commitment to proactively addressing issues and making timely adjustments. Looking ahead, how should the trend of moving industrial operations into high-rise buildings be advanced? The key to breaking the deadlock lies not in constructing more high-rise buildings, but in breaking free from the惯性 of "prioritizing construction over adaptability" and ensuring that factory spaces are tailored to meet the production needs of enterprises.
A new round of reforms has officially begun. The central government has designated 10 regions to serve as pilot areas. The core focus of this initiative is the market-based allocation of factors of production. This encompasses not only traditional factors such as land, labor, and capital, but also new factors such as data, computing power, and airspace. At the local level, the goal is to allow the market to determine resource allocation rather than relying on administrative measures.
Zero rent, no property management fees, rent-free periods for renovations, discounts on utilities... Don’t you often see these kinds of promotions when attracting businesses? To help ease the financial burden on companies, many industrial parks have repeatedly slashed rent and property management fees. Without the revenue from land sales, attracting businesses is indeed a challenge these days. Some feel it’s as if they have to “leave it up to fate...”
Securing a project is never a matter of chance. Hundreds of days a year spent traveling, burning the midnight oil to draft proposals, tracking progress, and running between departments... Perhaps, out of the dozens of projects we engage with each year, only a handful remain in the pipeline by the end. Even when both the government and the enterprise have clear intentions, we may watch helplessly as the company turns and heads to a neighboring province simply because the approval process lagged behind or service details fell short. At other times, while a company is interested in locating locally, an ill-conceived industrial park plan forces us to miss out on the opportunity.We’ve clearly given it our all, so why do we keep missing the mark and struggle to bring projects to fruition? Beyond external factors, we must also look inward for answers.
The "war of words" between Luo Yonghao and Xibe is finally coming to an end. Looking at the root of the matter, from Luo Yonghao's criticism to the heated discussions among countless netizens, the debate has largely centered on consumers' right to know about pre-packaged meals and whether they are worth the price.Looking deeper, this is not merely a public relations battle, but a turning point for the ready-to-cook meal industry. The issues exposed by this debate point precisely to the areas where the industry needs to improve moving forward.
In some industrial parks, the investment promotion team ends up taking on property management duties. When a company’s lease expires, it moves out, and the park moves on to recruiting new tenants—only for those new tenants to leave when their leases expire as well. The park becomes like an “empty shell” that can never be filled, trapped in a vicious cycle of “recruiting—losing tenants—recruiting again.” It’s time to rethink the approach to industrial park operations.
This year, there have been significant changes in investment promotion efforts. In particular, a variety of new approaches have emerged in Guangdong. Overall, the core strategy is to “break the deadlock with decisive action.” Under the traditional model, efforts were piecemeal and superficial. The root cause lies in the lack of a systematic approach to investment promotion.
China’s first Artificial Intelligence Bureau has been established in Wenzhou. This is undoubtedly a bold initiative, marking a step toward “systematic coordination.” Currently, many regions are vying to develop their artificial intelligence industries. However, the establishment of a dedicated government agency remains rare. In terms of attracting investment, this move serves as a microcosm of the development of the artificial intelligence industry.
