Yingkou Free Trade Zone's newly added registered capital exceeded 70 billion yuan in 100 days since its launch
CCTV News (Reporter Li Wenxue) From early spring to midsummer, just like the change of seasons, people's endless imagination of this land has become a reality bursting with infinite vitality.
As of today, the Yingkou area of China (Liaoning) Pilot Free Trade Zone (hereinafter referred to as Yingkou Free Trade Zone) has been listed for 100 days. With this time as a node, Yingkou has leaped to a new height of opening up and entered a new realm of reform.
Zhao Changfu, Secretary of the Yingkou Municipal Party Committee and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, pointed out: Including Yingkou in one of the three major areas of the Liaoning Pilot Free Trade Zone is a high degree of trust, cordial care and earnest expectations of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government for Yingkou. The Free Trade Zone is the advantage, potential and hope of Yingkou's development. Yingkou should make the construction of the Free Trade Zone the No. 1 project with the efforts of the whole city.
For 100 days and nights, Yingkou people have not forgotten their original aspirations, united as one, deepened reforms, and tried first, and solidly promoted the construction of the free trade pilot zone, and achieved a hard-won 100-day "performance sheet" - 1,055 new registered enterprises, 70.8 billion yuan of new registered capital, and the amount of registered capital ranks first among the three free trade zones in the province.
Starting the "free trade engine" and starting strongly, Yingkou is undergoing a transformation.
Speed change - passion surges in the entrepreneurial hot land
Located at the intersection of the Daliao River and the Bohai Bay, Liaoning Ruihua Industrial Group High-tech Technology Co., Ltd. recently welcomed a delegation of State Council counselors. Whether in the local area or in the industry, this news caused quite a stir. Liu Xu, general manager of the company, said that the reason why we were favored by the State Council counselors was not only because we were an enterprise listed in the National Torch Plan in the original Yingkou National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, but more importantly, we were also located in the newly listed free trade pilot zone, which increased our unique development advantages.
The reform dividend released by the pilot free trade zone instantly ignited people's entrepreneurial passion.
"Even as China's largest exporter of plastic packaging bags to Japan, we have never received such high-end guidance on customs clearance facilitation before." Wen Bo, the president of Liaoning Dongsheng Group, who was born in the 1980s, said that this was due to the fact that the pilot free trade zone was able to invite many doctors from the Ministry of Commerce to the company for research, visits and guidance.
Many companies have decided to "cooperate with each other inside and outside", including large projects worth tens of billions of yuan - those who do processing outside the zone will settle in the zone; those who register their headquarters in the zone will build warehousing and logistics outside the zone; those who operate bonded display transactions, financial leasing, import and export and transshipment, commodity logistics distribution and delivery, and cross-border e-commerce in the zone will build physical trading markets outside the zone.
In Yingkou Free Trade Zone, there is a wave of "discussing projects every day and signing projects every day". Projects such as science and technology, finance, trade, education, tourism, health, e-commerce, modern trade and logistics have been launched one after another. Enterprises in equipment manufacturing, trade, science and technology, logistics, finance and other industries account for 90% of the total number of registered enterprises. The agglomeration effect of high-end equipment manufacturing and high-tech leading industries is obvious.
Like looking at a newborn baby, people are full of infinite imagination and ardent expectations for the free trade pilot zone, which are transformed into innovative and entrepreneurial actions, promoting the accelerated development of Yingkou Free Trade Zone. According to the established goals, Yingkou Free Trade Zone will strive to add 2,000 new commercial entities this year.
Changes in the process - boldly trying a new path of reform
"In mid-June, the company's registered capital increased from 28 million to 100 million. Normally, this matter needs to be handled in the province. But we can do it in the comprehensive service hall of the free trade zone, and it will be completed in three working days, free of charge, and very convenient..."
This description comes from Li Shukai, chairman of Yingkou Hyatt Filter Co., Ltd. He was surprised by the high efficiency under the "free trade zone treatment". This is a new change brought about by the administrative approval reform of Yingkou Free Trade Zone.
Cancel what can be cancelled, merge what cannot be cancelled, and register what cannot be merged. Acceptance with incomplete applications, where does the courage come from? "Boldly break through, boldly try, and independently reform" - this is the country's message to the free trade pilot zone.
Yingkou City insists on resolving the bottleneck problem of project landing and bearing fruit as a breakthrough in the construction of the business environment, and the results are obvious. In the year with heavy external pressure, there are still many projects that discuss intentions, sign contracts, and build in the same year. Thanks to the pro-business service, a 5 billion yuan project took only seven days from completing the industrial and commercial registration to obtaining the land license.
In the "free trade era", such "Yingkou efficiency" is because institutional innovation has become the norm in the free trade zone.
The basis of innovation comes from replication. The Yingkou Municipal Government announced the first batch of 85 reform and innovation experiences of the approved free trade pilot zones for replication and promotion, and issued supporting implementation documents. The first evaluation was conducted by the internationally renowned company KPMG Consulting. The "First Free Trade Zone Evaluation Report in the Province" shows that 23 policies have achieved initial results in a short period of time.
The Yingkou area integrates industrial development, urban space, land use, environmental protection planning, urban comprehensive transportation, green space water system and landscape system, tourism and other planning, and adds various assessments such as environment, energy conservation, water and soil, geology, and safety to achieve "one strategy to unify the overall situation, one blueprint to work to the end, one platform to unify the edges, one form to connect the top and the bottom, and one mechanism to manage from beginning to end."
According to the "Implementation Plan for the Exploration of the "Multi-Certificate Integration" Registration System Innovation in Yingkou District", on the basis of "five certificates in one, one license and one code", the registration certificate of the customs declaration unit, the entry-exit inspection and quarantine declaration enterprise registration form, the registration form of foreign trade operators, the establishment registration of foreign-invested enterprises, and the registration form for the application of the certificate of origin are added, realizing the "39 certificates in one". The work that the enterprise originally needed 55 days to complete now only takes 10 days. The top-down approval system reform has "taken a step forward" in the Yingkou District.
Simplification and decentralization do not mean laissez-faire. Strengthening efficient supervision throughout the process is a test of the wisdom of "combining control and decentralization". 312 supervision and management powers of 8 departments, including industry and commerce, food and drug supervision, quality supervision, safety supervision, price, culture, sports, news and broadcasting, intellectual property rights, and urban comprehensive law enforcement supervision and management, are integrated into one department for centralized exercise, implementing joint supervision and comprehensive law enforcement, weakening prior approval, and strengthening in-process and post-event supervision.
The reform is refreshing, and enterprises and the market feel the full sincerity of Yingkou.
Changes in the pattern - taking responsibility in the global coordinate system
Less than 2 kilometers away from the old factory is the industrial incubation base that Ruihua Group has laid out in advance. Liu Xu pointed to a new office building and said, "The digital mining equipment intelligent manufacturing factory project is here. When the factory is built, our equipment can be moved in and put into production."
Yingkou Hyatt Filter Industry Co., Ltd. recently released two series of 11 new products to fill the gap in China's filter material industry. Several companies headed by Hyatt Filter Industry will form a group company and strive to achieve an output value of 200 million yuan within three years and 300 million yuan within five years.
In Yingkou, more and more companies have new plans and expectations for their development because of the free trade pilot zone, and this expectation is by no means unique to companies and entrepreneurs.
The 210,000 square meter "Free Trade Zone CBD" with an investment of 960 million yuan is under construction and acceptance. The high-quality headquarters center, product display center, and enterprise service center are all "projects of the year"; according to the agreement signed with the National Railway Corporation, the railway line project extending from the dock of Yingkou Port Bayuquan Port Area to Yingkou Free Trade Zone will start before the end of the year. After 16 months of completion, the 44-kilometer distance will be negligible for "sea-rail transport"; in mid-August, the fence project of the comprehensive bonded area will officially start, and the blueprint for the interaction between the free trade zone, high-tech zone, and comprehensive bonded zone is unfolding...
The name of Liaoning is crowned in Yingkou. Located in the core position of the multi-level intermodal system of sea, land and air, the Yingkou area is like a "server" and "router". The powerful function of institutional innovation and the smooth and convenient routing channels will greatly break through the geographical boundaries of 29.96 square kilometers.
On the map, the boundaries of the Yingkou Free Trade Zone are neatly demarcated along the streets, and the entire area is close to a rectangle, which is rare in China's free trade zones. Yingkou's coastal land is flat and has abundant stock of land. The nearly 30 square kilometers of the free trade zone are adjacent to the sea and have not been reclaimed. There is no "skylight" and no disputed land. It is a contiguous construction land, and the placement of projects is not restricted. What is even more rare is that there are more than 200 square kilometers of contiguous state-owned construction land around it, which can be used as a priority bearing area for the "spillover effect" of the free trade zone.
Last year, Yingkou's total import and export volume ranked third in the province, and its foreign trade dependence reached 28.4%; by transferring its advantageous production capacity, Yingkou's overseas investment spread across 25 countries and regions...Opening up internally and opening up to the outside world, whether it is state-owned enterprise reform or integration into the "Belt and Road Initiative", whether it is "going out" or developing "Internet +", every exploration and innovation shows the desire to connect with the world.
Yingkou, the first open gateway in Northeast China, is at the forefront of the free trade zone strategy, seizing the rare opportunity of the "third opening" and playing a more dazzling role in history.
The state has given Yingkou a mission for the free trade zone and pointed out clear goals and paths - focusing on the core strategic resources of Yingkou Port and the "Yingman Europe" Continental Bridge, building a regional international logistics center, high-end equipment manufacturing, and high-tech industrial bases, and constructing an important hub for the international sea-rail transport corridor, and striving to build a new highland for opening up to the outside world in Liaoning and even the Northeast, a demonstration zone for institutional innovation, and a pilot zone for industrial transformation and upgrading.
"Look to Shanghai in Southeast China, and look to Yingkou in Northeast China." This is not Yingkou's nonsense about its current strength, but a conscious and refined pursuit of the development of "shape" and "momentum" in the future.
