The industrial cluster advantages and the efficiency of government services in Lishui are the reasons why I chose to stay here. Last month, at the completion ceremony of the Nanjing Jingfeng Electromechanical Industrial Park project, Lu Guofeng, the person in charge of the industrial park, took the initiative to act as a “promoter” of Lishui’s business environment when accompanying merchants on a visit. Eight days later, at the new product launch event of Amico machine tools, the investment promotion personnel from Yongyang Sub-district took the stage to promote, extending the venue into a stage for investment promotion and introduction…
In Lishui, it has become a common sight to see entrepreneurs voluntarily endorsing and the government and enterprises working together. From having an industrial foundation that was almost “a blank sheet of paper” in the past to now being listed as a national-level characteristic cluster of small and medium-sized enterprises, Lishui has gradually blazed a unique path for attracting investment. More than ten years ago, after Tengyang Machinery, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qiao Feng Intelligent Equipment, settled in Lishui, as the enterprise grew and expanded, it not only played a leading and exemplary role but also took the initiative to act as the “spokesperson” of Lishui, actively promoting the local investment environment to partners in the industrial chain. Thus, it initiated a new model of “attracting investment through business”. Under the impetus of Qiao Feng Intelligence, supporting enterprises such as Sanzhong Precision and Proton Lubrication have successively settled in, gradually forming an agglomeration effect of “introducing one and bringing a series”.
Why are entrepreneurs willing to endorse their local areas? The experience of Ni Xiangqiang, the general manager of Runfutang (Nanjing) Technology Development Co., LTD., provides the answer. After successively investing in the Weimas and Runfutang projects in Yongyang Sub-district, he proactively introduced the Skdrak intelligent machine tool project with a total investment of over 500 million yuan. When it comes to this choice, Ni Xiangqiang said straightforwardly, “I just think it’s ‘reliable’!” Yongyang understands what enterprises need and keeps his word.
As enterprises continue to gather, the traditional “casting a wide net” style of investment promotion has become difficult to meet the needs of precise industrial chain layout. Lishui has innovatively launched the “Disassembly Machine Tool Investment Promotion Method”. By disassembling the entire machine tool, identifying core components, and tracing upstream suppliers, it has drawn up a dynamically updated investment promotion map for the machine tool industry chain, targeting leading enterprises in the industry chain for precise investment promotion, and accelerating the strengthening, supplementation, and extension of the industrial chain.
The industrial map is like installing a “navigation system” for investment promotion. Lei Chenghao, the deputy general manager of Yongyang Industrial Investment and Development Co., LTD., introduced, “We are clear about which enterprises to look for and where they are located. During negotiations, we can also more professionally elaborate on the prospects of cooperation.” Under the guidance of the map, multiple investment promotion teams have traveled to the Yangtze River Delta, the central and western regions, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and other places. Each team spends half of the month outside to connect with enterprises and conduct precise investment promotion.
With the investment promotion map in place, the “business-to-business investment promotion” model of Yongyang Sub-district has achieved increasingly remarkable results. In September this year, the investment promotion team made two trips to Nantong to connect with Huaxia Precision Machinery Technology (Nanjing) Co., LTD. This enterprise focuses on the essential parts machining, optical machinery and complete machine business of the industrial chain. After its settlement, it will further consolidate the local industrial foundation. Lei Chenghao disclosed: “After obtaining investment clues from the on-chain enterprise Hongwang Intelligent, we promptly issued an invitation for an inspection.” ” In October, the project was successfully signed. The person in charge of Huaxia Precision said, “Upon arriving in Lishui, we saw the complete supply chain support and decided to sign the contract on the spot.”
What is even more innovative is that Lishui has also integrated intelligent technology into its investment promotion practices. At the 19th China International Machine Tool Exhibition held in April this year, the exhibition area of Yongyang Sub-district was particularly eye-catching – 20 local machine tool enterprises and the newly unveiled “Robot Investment Promotion Ambassadors” jointly extended an “Lishui invitation” to global enterprises. Through the “booth positioning + intelligent exhibition hall patrol” model, robots shuttled between various exhibition halls, interacting and communicating with exhibitors and visitors. They precisely introduced Yongyang’s investment environment and policies, and guided visitors to the booths of enterprises, effectively enhancing the exhibition results. Eventually, three leading enterprises reached the intention to settle down.
Targeted investment promotion has driven the continuous improvement of Lishui’s CNC machine tool industrial chain. The industrial cluster has successfully advanced to the “national team”, achieving a transformation from “actively seeking business” to “business coming out of curiosity”. According to statistics, from January to September this year, 9 new projects were signed in Lishui’s CNC machine tool industry, with a total investment of over 4.36 billion yuan. All of them are billion-yuan-level projects, and the industrial cluster’s capacity is constantly improving. From nothing to something, and from something to a chain, Lishui’s path of attracting investment has become increasingly broad. Today, within the CNC machine tool industrial park, a picture of an industrial ecosystem featuring the coordinated progress of upstream and downstream sectors has already unfolded. On this fertile ground of development, the story of government and enterprise collaboration continues to write new chapters.
