  In 1990, across the surging Pujiang River, a tidal flat on the coast of the East China Sea stood as the vane of China's reform and opening up, and the title page of the "History of Entrepreneurship" of Pudong's development and opening up was lightened.

  Entrepreneurship is to open up wasteland and open up new ways.

At that time, various types of economic parks were booming all over the world, and Pudong cleverly chose the point layout of "reengineering center" and "functional development", from Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, to Jinqiao Import and Export Processing Zone, to Lujiazui. The financial and trade zone and Zhangjiang High-tech Park, the four corresponding functional zones occupy the "star position", and the linkage development will become a live chess game in the future.

  Entrepreneurship is also a breakthrough innovation, dare to try first.

Where does the fund come from for development and opening up?

For the first time, Pudong pioneered the model of "financial funds idling and land lease transfer", breaking through the constraints of the system at the time, revitalizing land assets, changing "requesting money from the government" to "raising money from the market" and starting the government's first investment Take advantage of the precedent of the market mechanism.

  Entrepreneurship also means top-level planning and strategizing.

The "three firsts" of planning, infrastructure, and finance and trade allowed Pudong to stand on the cusp of the era of China's opening up from the secondary industry to the tertiary industry.

  Zhu Xiaoming, a Pudong "development veteran" and the first general manager of Jinqiao Development Company, spent three months researching and writing the "Strategy for the Development and Planning of Jinqiao Export Processing Zone" with more than 100,000 characters. Although it is positioned as an industrial zone, it must be done in accordance with the'urban planning'."

  Under this vision, in the following 30 years, Jinqiao has withstood the risks of rising production factor costs, financial crisis and other risks, completed four transitions from "export processing" to "intelligent manufacturing", and used a complete industrial zone and The living supporting area integrates the development concept and becomes the "city sub-center".

  Zhu Xiaoming told a reporter from China News Agency: "Pudong is a'new area', not a'special zone'. At the beginning of the development, there was no experience to copy, and there was no retreat. We can only push forward with the spirit of timelessness. For 30 years, the spirit of promoting Pudong's rapid development Power is'innovation as the soul, entrepreneurship as the soul'."

  With "entrepreneurship" as the spiritual core, Pudong's development has gathered innovative energy from all parties, making great progress.

  In 1999, under the strategy of "Focusing on Zhangjiang", the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences left the scientific research atmosphere developed for nearly half a century and moved to Zhangjiang, becoming the first scientific founder of "Medicinal Valley".

  "It is equivalent to starting a new business in Pudong," Chen Kaixian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and former director of the Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, admitted that he was "a little confused and hopeful, and firmly believed that the development of the institute should be integrated into the development and open environment of Pudong. ."

  With the three major industrial ecosystems of integrated circuits, biomedicine and software facing the future, more "entrepreneurs" gathered in Pudong with hopes and dreams, took the torch of entrepreneurship, and moved forward.

  Li Xin, director of the office of Shanghai Microelectronics Equipment Group, was deeply moved by this.

She talked about the difficulty in breaking through the "stuck neck" problem of the global industrial chain at the beginning of the business: "At that time, the lithography machine could not be supported by the domestic supply system alone. Through difficult research, we created the core technology and refined the equipment parts into components. At the level, it has become the production of general-purpose parts, thus obtaining abundant global cooperation resources and solving supply chain problems."

  Ma Handong, co-founder of the scientific innovation company Senyi Intelligence, said that in Pudong, the entrepreneurial spirit is not limited to entrepreneurs, but will be displayed in every talent.

"At that time, I chose to start a business in Zhangjiang. First, there are cross-professional comprehensive talents. Second, these talents have the'adventurous spirit' of entrepreneurs. They have followed us from a simple office all the way to the present."

  In Pudong, which dared to try the first step, high-rise buildings rose on the ground, and maps were drawn on the eighth street and nine mosques, creating a development miracle in 30 years.

  According to Weng Zuliang, Secretary of the Pudong New Area District Committee of the Communist Party of China, in 2019, the Pudong New Area’s GDP reached 1,273.4 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), 211 times that of 6.024 billion yuan in 1990; total fiscal revenue reached 431.6 billion yuan in 1993. 387 times the 1.115 billion yuan; Pudong has created 1/80 of GDP and 1/15 of total import and export of goods with an area of ​​1/8000 of the country.

  With the condensing of innovation potential, multi-level and diversified "enabling" has become one of the "keywords" in Pudong today in China and the world.

  Hang Yingwei, the mayor of Pudong New Area, said that the construction of a free trade zone with institutional innovation as its mission is based on the highest standards and the best standards, bold experiments, bold breakthroughs, and independent reforms. So far, 328 institutional innovations have been replicated and promoted throughout the country.

  And a batch of large scientific installations open to the world have made the "primitive innovations" occurring in China have the energy to affect the world.

"For example, with the help of Shanghai Light Source, the research team discovered Weil fermion that has been hidden for more than 80 years, and revealed the infection mechanism of various epidemic viruses such as avian influenza and Ebola. A variety of new drugs developed based on Shanghai Light Source experimental data have entered clinical trials. "Hang Yingwei said.

  30 years of advancing with the torch, from scratch, from "gathering energy" to "empowerment", behind the "Pudong Miracle" is the spirit and practice of countless "entrepreneurs" who dare to chew hard bones, be brave to change, and indomitable.

As for the new journey of Lizhi Nian, the "Pudong Spirit" will inevitably nourish and assimilate the generations of innovative entrepreneurs who have assimilated this land, and share the important task of "start again" with Pudong.
