Counties should innovate their models to avoid falling into the trap of "low-end tradition".
Identify the "tipping point" of county economic development and avoid traditional path dependence.
the development of "1 billion counties" is full of vigor
In recent years, the number of "1 billion counties" has increased rapidly, with five new ones in 221, and the GDP of 43 "1 billion counties" has reached more than 7 trillion yuan.
in 221, the average growth rate of "1 billion counties" was 12.6%, which was 1.6 times that of domestic GDP in the same period. Among them, Shenmu City and Zhungeer Banner led the "1 billion counties" with a year-on-year growth rate of about 3%.
in terms of regional distribution, the distribution of "1 billion counties" in the eastern, central and western regions is extremely unbalanced, and the distribution in urban agglomerations is relatively concentrated. In 221, there will be 35 "1 billion counties" in the east, only 5 in Nanchang, Ningxiang, Liuyang, Changsha and Feixi in the middle, and only 3 in Zhungeer, Renhuai and Shenmu in the west.
From the distribution of urban agglomerations, the number of "1 billion counties" in the urban agglomerations of the Yangtze River Delta accounts for more than half, reaching 23; There is one Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration and one central Guizhou urban agglomeration, Qian 'an City and renhuai city City.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the main gathering places of "1 billion counties". In 221, 43 "1 billion counties" were distributed in 11 provinces (regions) such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Among them, the number of "1 billion counties" in Jiangsu has maintained an increasing trend for many years; Anhui, Guizhou, Hebei, Jiangxi, Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi all have only one "1 billion county"; Inner Mongolia and Anhui are the first "1 billion counties".
the industry of "1 billion counties" is fully supported. Among the "1 billion counties", except Yiwu, which has obvious advantages in service industry, all other "1 billion counties" are strong industrial counties (cities). The highest industrial output value of Kunshan City exceeded one trillion yuan, reaching 1,28.448 billion yuan.
the real economy is the cornerstone of the new "1 billion counties". In 221, among the five new "1 billion counties", the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size in Zhungeer Banner exceeded 1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.8%; The total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size in shishi city was 145.399 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.8%; Xinghua city's total industrial output value reached 82.876 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33%; Feixi county's industrial output value exceeds 16 billion yuan.
The reserve of "1 billion counties" is sufficient, and the number will achieve a new breakthrough in 222. In 221, another 9 counties (cities) had GDP exceeding 9 billion yuan. Among them, Ejinhoro, Shouguang, Zoucheng, Pinghu, Peixian and Xiantao all maintained a high growth rate, with the growth rate of Ejinhoro Banner reaching 28.3% and Shouguang reaching 17.5%. It is estimated that more counties (cities) will enter the ranks of "1 billion counties" in 222.
Six development models
After combing deeply, we can find that there are six typical development models in "Billion Counties".
mode 1: the innovation-driven leading mode of the Yangtze river delta urban agglomeration.
the important feature of this model is the concentration of innovative elements. Regional development has been integrated into the global industrial system, and industrial upgrading and technological innovation have been initially realized. It has begun to transform into the stage driven by new technologies and new elements such as knowledge, data and advanced innovative talents. Knowledge economy and innovative economy have become important new kinetic energy for development.
by deepening the industrial chain finely, we will create an innovative leading industry with outstanding specialization and distinctive characteristics. In the region, 7% of the top 1 counties in China are concentrated, focusing on manufacturing, actively integrating into the development of regional central cities, continuously deepening global industrial chain cooperation, strengthening the differentiated and complementary development of "one county with one characteristic", and refining the industrial chain in a certain segment.
actively integrate into the global innovation system by attracting global enterprise resources and innovative resources. Taking Kunshan as a typical city, Kunshan has built a national "hometown of German enterprises", gathering thousands of German enterprises and more than 8,9 foreign-funded projects in 56 countries and regions around the world, so as to accelerate its integration into the global innovation system. By the end of 22, there were more than 12, invention patents in Kunshan, and the total number of national high-tech enterprises exceeded 2,. The high-tech industry accounted for 47.6% of the industrial output value.
mode 2: the leading mode driven by industrial clusters in coastal urban agglomerations of Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang.
this model highlights the technological innovation ability of regional industries, cultivates a complete high-level industrial chain, and the industrial organization mode presents the characteristics of cluster networking. At the same time, cultivate a group of international large enterprise groups with world influence. The government is committed to building a perfect legal environment, market environment and first-class public service functions.
by playing the "three cards" of private economy, brand economy and real economy, we will cultivate a number of industrial clusters with world influence. Support private enterprises to go public "bigger", cultivate and expand industries with distinctive advantages such as sporting goods, textiles, shoes and clothing, build regional industrial clusters throughout the industrial chain, cultivate a series of regional brands and well-known trademarks in China, and continuously expand the scale of county economy.
build industrial ecology around advantageous industrial clusters and enhance industrial competitiveness. Taking Jinjiang City as a typical example, two industrial clusters of textile, clothing and shoemaking have been cultivated. Cultivate sports technology, sports events and other industrial formats around sports shoes; Cultivate 49 listed companies and series of well-known brands; The technology and equipment of advantageous industries have completely surpassed the level of international peers.
mode 3: Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration is driven by regional integration.
this model pays attention to the coordination between the county and the core cities in the region in the fields of planning guidance, supporting facilities, industrial development, and public services. The county economy is deeply integrated into the regional industrial chain and innovation chain, forming a powerful driving force to support regional development.
take industrial synergy as the main line and cultivate economically strong counties and cities around major cities. Around the central cities in Changsha, Zhuzhou and other regions, the county economy is based on manufacturing industry, continuously enhancing the competitiveness and influence of construction machinery, automobiles and parts, fireworks industry and other industries, and cultivating new growth points of county economy.
take the leading industries at the county level as leverage, and accelerate the development of the whole region driven by industrial resources. Taking Changsha county as a typical example, relying on core enterprises such as Sany Heavy Industry and SAIC Volkswagen, it has built three pillar industries: construction machinery, automobiles and parts and electronic information. More than 4 enterprises in the construction machinery industry chain have been laid out in various districts and counties of Changsha, and the output value has exceeded 25 billion yuan.
mode 4: the leading mode driven by the upgrading of traditional industries in Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration.
under this model, the county economy promotes the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, cultivates new models and new formats, accelerates the formation of new kinetic energy for regional development, realizes the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, and promotes the sustainable development of regional economy.
relying on the traditional industrial base, accelerate the transformation through regional cooperation and brand empowerment. There are many powerful counties in Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration, and the private economy is active, but the industrial structure of counties is similar and the industrial characteristics are not clear enough. Through the linkage with economically strong cities such as Qingdao and Yantai, we will tap the advantages of agricultural products, oceans, oil and other resources, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and launch well-known regional brands such as Longkou fans, manufacturing capital and brand capital, thus empowering county economic development.
introduce emerging industries to replace traditional industries. Taking Longkou as a typical city, we will carry out the "upgrading" project of traditional manufacturing industry to eliminate backward production capacity, enter high-end fields, promote the integrated development, transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industry, and successfully cultivate strategic emerging industries such as biotechnology, health and new materials.
mode 5: the resource-driven leading mode of Hubao-Eyu urban agglomeration.
This model is more related to local characteristic resources. It promotes the development of county economy through resource development, arranges the industrial chain around coal and other resources, forms the sustainable kinetic energy of industrial development, and promotes the transformation of resource-based cities into innovative cities, commercial and logistics cities and leisure and holiday cities, thus getting rid of the development path of "resource curse".
give full play to the advantages of resources and gradually form the advantages of characteristic industries. County development relies on coal and other energy resources to develop and expand the county economy and innovate the new development path of "resource-based mining-refined processing-high-quality development".
accelerate the iteration from raw materials to products, and promote the chain extension, chain supplement and chain strengthening of the industrial chain. Taking Shenmu City as a typical example, we will practice the concept of ecological civilization development, explore new paths for the transformation and development of resource-based cities, develop new industries such as new coal chemical industry and new building materials, strengthen industrial chain coordination, and promote the transformation from raw materials to materials, from bulk chemicals to end-use products, and from the low-end to high-end of the industrial chain.
mode 6: characteristic industries and core enterprises drive the leading mode.
relying on the characteristic resources of liquor and leading enterprises in the industry, integrating regional resources and supporting the whole industrial chain of core enterprises, promoting the all-round development of the region and realizing the leap of GDP by 1 billion.
in recent years, renhuai city has achieved a "leap-forward" growth. Renhuai city's Kweichow Moutai Group's operating income in 217 was 66.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%, and its operating income in 218 reached 77.2 billion yuan; In 22, the revenue has reached nearly 1 billion yuan, and the profit has reached 46.7 billion yuan, which is almost one third of renhuai city's GDP. In addition, Renhuai also gathered nearly 1 other liquor enterprises above designated size and thousands of liquor industry chain related enterprises.
"small" counties release "big" energy level
The development potential of counties is infinite, and the total economic output of more and more counties exceeds 1 billion. It will be normal for more counties to exceed cities. We should look at the potential and potential energy of county economic development objectively and face up to the trend of county economy becoming bigger and stronger continuously.
county development should not be limited to the rigid cognition of county economy. there is no upper limit to the development of county economy, and there may be 5 billion and trillion counties (cities) in the future. At present, the county has been entrusted with a greater mission, and in formulating development goals, we should combine the far, the middle and the near, and appropriately raise the development goals.
Toutou county (city) may sprint to trillions in the future, and more counties should aim at the development goal of "1 billion counties". For example, in 221, the GDP of Kunshan City reached 474.86 billion yuan, the total economic output exceeded Ningxia, Qinghai and other provinces, and the total industrial output value historically exceeded one trillion yuan.
in the process of development, the county should innovate the model to avoid falling into the trap of "low-end tradition". Choose the right direction, find the right breakthrough and make a good combination of boxing to promote the transformation of county economy from traditional isolated development to regional coordinated development.
integrate into the regional development pattern, take advantage of the central cities in the region, integrate into the regional industrial chain, supply chain and innovation chain, and promote cross-regional industrial coordination, talent exchange and innovation cooperation. Strengthen the matching with the industrial clusters in the surrounding core cities, enlarge and strengthen the leading industries, create advantageous industrial clusters, and enhance the competitive advantages of industrial chains and supply chains.
cultivate regional brands and industrial brands, enhance county visibility and reputation, and enhance county industrial influence. Excavate regional superior resources, cultivate and strengthen the real economy in combination with the characteristics of county economy, and transform resource advantages into industrial advantages and development advantages.
At the same time, identify the "tipping point" of county economic development and avoid the traditional "path dependence". Jump out of the traditional inertia thinking of county economic development, strengthen the benchmarking study to "1 billion counties" and "model counties", refine the long board, make up the short board, adjust measures to local conditions, classify and guide, and formulate personalized plans for county economic development.
promote the position and role of "1 billion counties" in the strategy of strengthening the province. Some provinces can formulate corresponding strategies to strengthen counties, enhance the important position of county economy in the development of strong provinces, and promote the balanced development of provincial economy.
strengthen policy support for county economic development. The study gives policy support from specific directions such as project investment, urban construction, talent introduction, and assessment and appointment of leading cadres.
accelerate the formation of a batch of reserves, upgrade a batch and develop a batch, guide the county to "1 billion counties" and "top 1 counties", and make great efforts to support the county economy to become bigger and stronger.
especially around national central cities, metropolitan areas and other regions, we will strengthen the cultivation of a number of economically strong counties and "1 billion counties" with distinctive industrial characteristics and outstanding competitiveness.
