Yingshan, Sichuan: Key Industries Build Circles and Strong Chains, Industrial Strong Counties Lead the Way of Development

Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, is named after the mountains and built its city along them. Mountains not only shape the topographical features of Yingshan, but also endow it with the resilience to move forward.

During the 14th Five Year Plan period, Yingshan County will unwaveringly adhere to the strategy of "industry first, industry leading", closely follow the development positioning of "building an important supporting base for manufacturing in the Chengdu Chongqing region", concentrate on extending and strengthening the chain of the machinery and auto parts industry, and vigorously promote the construction of the automobile and motorcycle parts industry park.

In the past five years, Yingshan County has placed industrial economy in a prominent position, coordinated and laid out with a "one game" thinking, promoted implementation with the determination of a "one map", and united forces with the spirit of a "one rope", promoting the leapfrog improvement of industrial development from quantitative to qualitative changes, injecting strong impetus into the sustainable and healthy development of the county's economy and society.

'One Chess' Plan for High Level Coordination and Build a New Pattern of Industrial Development

Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a specific area. At that time, the Yingshan County Committee and Government deeply realized that in the regional development pattern of competition among hundreds of boats, the Yingshan industry must break through the old situation of "scattered, small, and weak" and carry out top-level design and strategic planning from a global perspective in order to achieve breakthrough.

In the 14th Five Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the 2035 Long Range Objectives Outline of Yingshan County, the strategic positioning of "expanding and strengthening modern industry" is placed in an important position. This positioning is not only based on the existing industrial foundation of Yingshan, but also closely connected to the location advantages and industrial radiation of the Chengdu Chongqing dual city economic circle, establishing a clear "navigation mark" for the industrial development of the whole county.

In the Yingshan Economic Development Zone of Sichuan, the production workshop of Sichuan Zhongqisheng Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. is bustling with activity. The fully automated intelligent production line is running at high speed, producing components for automotive bogies and chassis one by one, which will soon be sold to Europe and America.

As a foreign-funded enterprise that landed in Yingshan in 2021, Lai Hui, the general manager of the company, has personally experienced the development of the automotive and motorcycle parts industry in Yingshan County. At the beginning of the company's establishment, raw materials were mainly sourced from Zhejiang. After nearly 5 years of development, various automobile and motorcycle parts production enterprises have successively settled in Yingshan. Lai Hui introduced that currently, the company has not only achieved local procurement of raw materials, but also formed supporting relationships with surrounding enterprises. By eliminating the intermediate transportation and market expansion links, the company's production costs are greatly reduced.

This is just a microcosm of the development of industrial enterprises in Yingshan County. With the increasing number of enterprises, Yingshan County is still continuously optimizing its spatial layout and building a core engine. In response to the problem of scattered industrial layout and weak agglomeration effect in the past, Yingshan County is making every effort to build an industrial main battlefield centered on the Sichuan Yingshan Economic Development Zone. Continuously increasing investment in infrastructure, standard factory buildings have been erected, and their carrying capacity has been significantly enhanced. As of now, the built-up area of Yingshan Economic Development Zone in Sichuan Province has reached 11.5 square kilometers, forming a "one vertical, five horizontal, and one circular" park framework. It has built seven parks within the park, including machinery and auto parts, valves, electric motorcycles, new energy, and food. More than 230 enterprises have entered the park, and nearly 20000 people have been employed.

Playing a good game of chess also relies on precise and effective policy supply. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, Yingshan County successively introduced a series of policy measures to support the high-quality development of industry, and built a comprehensive "policy toolbox" from aspects such as land supply, financial support, talent introduction, and technological innovation. Especially in response to the issue of cost reduction and efficiency improvement that enterprises are concerned about, a package of measures such as tax reduction, fee reduction, and relief have been implemented; In order to attract investment, we have innovatively established a "chain leader system", led by county leaders, focusing on the two leading industries of mechanical parts and electronic information to "follow the map" and attract investment accurately.

The overall planning of "one game of chess" enables efficient allocation of various resource elements, allowing enterprises to feel the "strength" and "temperature", and also showing investors the determination to build a competitive economy.

'One Map' to Promote Anchored Goals and Draw a New Blueprint for Industrial Rise

The blueprint has been drawn, the key is implementation. How to implement it well? During the 14th Five Year Plan period, Yingshan County implemented the "Five Ones" tracking service mechanism for key projects - that is, for each key project and attracting enterprise, a management plan is formulated, led by a county-level leader, a department is responsible for implementation, and a service team is established to timely coordinate and solve difficulties and problems encountered in project construction and enterprise development. At the same time, Yingshan County is also actively seeking investment, attracting foreign investment, and financing from the market. Give full play to the role of the "sharp knife supervision" mechanism for key projects, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, and lead the growth of key industrial projects with technological innovation.

In the manufacturing workshop of Sichuan Ouwang Electric Technology Co., Ltd. located in Yingshan Economic Development Zone, Sichuan, the laser welding cutting, automatic spraying process, production inspection, and 8 new energy special vehicle production lines have a monthly production capacity of more than 7000 vehicles. It only takes 13 months from start to production, and after reaching full capacity, it is expected to produce over 300000 electric three wheeled motorcycles throughout the year, "said Xue Juan, assistant general manager of the company.

Project construction is accelerating and increasing efficiency, and all new projects in the county are racing against time, "said Ma Zhenzhou, Deputy Director of the Commerce and Economic Cooperation Foreign Affairs Bureau of Yingshan County. From January to October this year, the county introduced 30 new manufacturing projects, started 33 new projects, and completed 25 new projects, all of which ranked first in Nanchong City in various indicators. Projects such as Shenzhen Zhibotong have achieved "signing contracts and starting production in the same year".

Projects are the lifeline of industrial development. Data shows that in the past five years, the industrial foundation of Yingshan has rapidly risen at a rate of expanding the park by more than 1 square kilometer per year, signing more than 30 new manufacturing projects per year, and upgrading more than 15 industrial enterprises per year, injecting "vitality" into the sustained growth of the industrial economy.

Faced with a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, Yingshan County is not satisfied with the "comfort zone" of traditional industries. Instead, with the determination of "one map", it steadfastly promotes industrial transformation and upgrading. For enterprises of different sizes, Yingshan County has implemented a hierarchical cultivation action of "improving the quality and strengthening the backbone" for small and medium-sized enterprises and "supporting young and nurturing seedlings" for small and micro enterprises. The county has cultivated a total of 30 national high-tech enterprises and 31 provincial-level specialized, refined, and new enterprises. 10 enterprises have been included in the provincial and municipal quality brand cultivation library. The machinery and auto parts industry cluster in Yingshan County has been listed as a characteristic industrial cluster for small and medium-sized enterprises in Sichuan Province in 2024. The Yingshan Economic Development Zone in Sichuan Province has been awarded the title of "Demonstration Park for Industrial Cooperation in the Chengdu Chongqing Economic Circle" and "Excellent Development Zone in Sichuan Province".

A single rope exerts force and gathers together, consolidating the new synergy of industrial strength in the county

How long does it take for a newly recruited enterprise in Yingshan County to acquire land and start construction? The answer given by entrepreneur Fu Liangsheng from Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province is 28 days, "The procedures that used to take 3 to 6 months to complete now only take less than a month

Fu Liangsheng's Sichuan Huasheng Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in sapphire cutting and processing, as well as research and manufacturing of optical glass. His first impression of Yingshan County was high efficiency in handling affairs and fast problem-solving. The process from obtaining land and certificates to starting construction was very smooth, and the government always considered the issues first, "said Fu Liangsheng. Thanks to the efficient cooperation between the government and enterprises, the company has been put into operation since June this year. Next, we will relocate two factories from outside the province to Yingshan as a whole.

Fu Liangsheng's experience has become an example of the business environment in Yingshan County. Adhering to the mechanism of "county mayor directly in charge of industry", Yingshan County has achieved industrial growth from small to large and broken through the encirclement in the past five years. In order to promote the brand, the county has also implemented a new industrialization model led by the county party secretary and county mayor, continuously consolidating the industrial economic foundation.

Officials at all levels in the county take the initiative to take on responsibilities and strive to be the 'gold medal shop assistants' for serving enterprises, "said a person in charge of the Yingshan County Economic Information and Technology Bureau. The two sides of government and business are united in their thoughts and efforts, working together to provide entrepreneurs with peace of mind for business operations and development. At the same time, Yingshan County has also set up a special team to provide services, implementing a package mechanism of "1 enterprise (project)+1 county leader+1 responsible unit+1 service specialist", providing full "package" services from enterprise admission to landing, effectively solving the problems encountered by enterprises in project construction and production operation.

In terms of policy guarantees, Yingshan County has successively introduced policy measures such as "Several Policy Measures to Promote the Development and Growth of Private Economy" and "Several Measures to Support the High quality Development of Manufacturing Industry in Yingshan County (Trial)", providing policy support for enterprises in land supply, administrative approval, rewards and subsidies, financing needs, technological transformation and capacity expansion, talent supply, etc. In 2024 alone, a total of 130 million yuan of various awards and subsidies will be realized.

A strong synergy has been formed from the government to the market, from enterprises to society, like thousands of streams converging into rivers, carrying the ship of Yingshan Industry forward through the waves. "The relevant person in charge of Yingshan County Committee stated that as the" 14th Five Year Plan "comes to an end, the whole society of Yingshan County will continue to work together towards the grand goal, maintain strategic determination, continue successful experience, and achieve leapfrog development of industry.
