On August 31, the mobilization meeting for creating a first-class business environment in Hainan Free Trade Port was held from the province to the grassroots level. Cadres from towns (streets) and villages (communities) participated in the conference through video.

Cadres across the province focused on the same topic and worked together to plan key tricks to create a more attractive investment environment.

　　"The investment environment is like air. Fresh air can attract more foreign investment. In the past, China's attraction of foreign investment mainly relied on preferential policies. Now it depends more on improving the investment environment." President Xi Jinping's keynote at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia 2018 The speeches encouraged officials from all over Hainan to further optimize the business environment.

　　On June 1 this year, the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port" was officially released, which clearly stated that by 2025, the Hainan Free Trade Port would "overall the domestic first-class business environment", and by 2035 "the business environment will be more optimized."

Toward this goal, Hainan is accelerating the creation of a first-class business environment that allows market players to yearn for and satisfies the people with the enthusiasm of “one day for three days” and the tenacity of “doing one piece into one piece”.

Improve the style of cadres

　　Improve service level

　　The project that had been "cold" for several years finally broke ground. Dong Jie, the head of Hainan Sanyong Group, was overjoyed.

　　Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County is located in the middle of Hainan, with excellent ecology and beautiful environment.

A few years ago, Sanyong Group negotiated with the local government about a plot of land in the urban area, preparing to build a star resort hotel area.

Unexpectedly, the land requisition and relocation became a "blocking road", which lasted for several years.

　　In early May of this year, Wang Dazhou, member of the Standing Committee of the Qiongzhong County Party Committee and Executive Deputy County Mayor, visited Sanyong Group for investigation and visits. After understanding the situation, he promised to solve the relocation problem within one month.

　　In order to create a first-class business environment, Qiongzhong County introduced a working mechanism for county-level leaders to contact and serve key enterprises earlier this year.

Each county-level leader will contact one or more key enterprises in pairs, and conduct surveys and visits at least once a month to solve problems for the enterprises.

Within 3 days after Wang Dazhou visited Sanyong Group, a mature and stable work plan was formed.

　　"In less than half a month, all relocated households signed an expropriation and compensation agreement, which is faster than the one month promised." Dong Jie said.

On July 13, the construction project of Sanyong Group broke ground.

　　To improve the work style of cadres and enhance the service level, Hainan makes every effort to provide first-class services for enterprise development.

　　Hainan Dingjin Food Co., Ltd., located in Chengmai Old Town Economic Development Zone, the financial manager Cheng Hainan gave a thumbs up when talking about the local business environment.

　　On June 23, the day after the Hainan Free Trade Port's corporate income tax preferential policy was released, the tax commissioner of Chengmai Old Town Economic Development Zone came to Dingjin Company to promote and interpret policies and understand the needs of enterprises.

Twenty days later, Cheng Hainan made a tax declaration and found that the company's corporate income tax rate had dropped from 25% to 15%.

"Unexpectedly, the tax department thought it was ahead of us."

　　As of the end of July, there were over 1.03 million market entities in Hainan, an increase of 26.42% year-on-year, and the growth rate ranked among the top in the country.

Build an information platform

　　Keep the regulatory bottom line

　　On August 8, Hainan's social management information platform made another contribution.

Relying on this platform, relevant departments successfully eliminated 9 outlying island duty-free commodity shopping gangs, arrested 40 persons involved, and seized more than 1,000 items of outlying island duty-free goods on the spot.

"Every day, we report sales data to the Hainan Social Management Information Platform. Through big data analysis, the platform accurately finds and punishes organized "water customers"." said Xie Zhiyong, general manager of Hainan Duty Free Products Co., Ltd.

　　To build the Hainan Free Trade Port, it is necessary to ensure the free and efficient flow of goods, funds, and personnel between the Free Trade Port and overseas, but also to maintain a safe bottom line and crack down on illegal crimes such as smuggling and tax evasion.

　　Supervising tax-free shopping on outlying islands is one of Hainan's social management information platform applications.

The formation of a new layout for multi-dimensional prevention and control is the power of this platform.

　　"The platform converges and integrates various data resources, supervises ships, vehicles, and aircrafts across the province, and initially forms three prevention and control circles in coastal waters, coastlines, and islands, achieving all-weather, all-regional, and full-coverage visual control." Ma Jin, the first-level inspector of the Political and Legal Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and the director of the Provincial Social Management Information Platform Construction Leading Group Office, said, “Supervisory information is directly pushed to the front line, achieving flat and visual management, and realizing the command center and the grassroots front line. Screen distance'."

　　Implementing face recognition to enter the park, real-time recording of vehicle conditions in important areas... Now, these advanced information methods have been extended from the 11 key parks of Hainan Free Trade Port to the large and small ports, wharves, railway stations, and bus stations in various cities and counties. Provide important support for all-round supervision.

　　"Relying on the social management information platform, we will make every effort to achieve the goal of'opening the first line and managing the second line', making the free trade port more vigorous." Hainan Provincial Party Committee Member, Political and Legal Committee Secretary, Social Management Information Platform Construction Leading Group Group leader Liu Xingtai said.

Carry out full process service

　　Improve convenience

　　In only two working days, the Belarusian merchant Maxim Rachuk registered the company in Hainan.

　　"I didn't even leave my door, so I registered the company in this "window"." The "window" that Lachuk said was the "single window" for Hainan Free Trade Port International Investment that went online on August 13.

This whole-process service platform can provide investors with "package-style" services.

　　Lachuk is a "Hainantong".

In 2011, he identified the development opportunities of Hainan International Tourism Island and started a company to promote Hainan tourism.

At the beginning of this year, the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out. Many of his originally planned promotion activities were cancelled and business was temporarily suspended.

　　After the release of the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port", Lachuk saw new business opportunities.

"Imported goods'zero tariffs' and other policies are a good opportunity for Russian-speaking products to enter Hainan." Lachuk translated the relevant content of the plan into Russian overnight and gave birth to the idea of ​​starting a logistics trading company.

　　Today, Lachuk’s team is trying to introduce high-quality Belarusian agricultural products to China and promote Hainan’s coconut oil to Russian-speaking regions.

　　A more efficient, open, and fair business environment has led more and more "Lachuk" to focus on Hainan.

　　On June 13, the first batch of key projects of the Hainan Free Trade Port were signed. EDF, as one of the contracted enterprises, will deeply participate in Hainan's low-carbon economic development.

Just over a month later, the Sanya new energy vehicle swap station that the group participated in was put into operation.

"Hainan is open to foreign investment and has introduced a series of policies to provide more convenience. I believe that Hainan will attract more high-quality enterprises and outstanding talents in the future." Fu Kaide, vice president and China president of EDF Group, is full of confidence in the future .
