　　Discussing development highlights, always adhering to manufacturing as the basis, and promoting in-depth cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao

　　Guangzhou Daily: Currently, Guangdong Province is vigorously promoting the construction of 17 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao cooperation development platforms. Please introduce the development highlights of the Guangzhou-Sui-Hong Kong Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone and what kind of characteristic development path will it take?

　　Dai Xinxiang: In 1985, Yunhai Gas Station was the first foreign-invested project in the Guangzhou Development Zone to break ground, lay the foundation, and be completed and put into operation. It was a Hong Kong-funded project.

The site selected for construction at that time was located in the West District, which is the land at the foot of the Guangzhou Suigang Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone.

　　Guangzhou Development Zone is a pioneer in cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong, and there are many well-known Hong Kong-funded enterprises such as Watsons and Lee Kum Kee.

Guangzhou Guangzhou-Hong Kong Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone has 253 Hong Kong-funded enterprises settled in it. With the advantages of gathering advanced manufacturing industries, it has become a vivid example of the perfect combination of Guangzhou-Hong Kong cooperation in the Greater Bay Area.

　　In the wave of construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Guangzhou-Guangzhou Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone came into being.

In 2021, Guangdong Province issued a relevant construction implementation plan, proposing to further enhance the level of industrial collaborative innovation between Guangdong and Hong Kong, focus on promoting the intelligent development of manufacturing, strengthen the ability to gather high-end resource elements, cultivate new advantages in the open development of national economic development zones, and accelerate the promotion of Construction of Guangzhou-Guangzhou Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone.

　　The most notable feature of the Guangzhou Suigang Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone is "intelligent manufacturing". It is home to leading manufacturing companies such as Procter & Gamble, Amway, Mead Johnson, Wrigley, Colgate, and Mitsubishi Electric. Among them, a total of 107 are among the world's top 500 companies. It can be said that it is the largest company in the Greater Bay Area. It is one of the places with the highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies.

　　From another dimension, the development of the Guangzhou-Guangzhou Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone complies with Hong Kong’s need to promote “new industrialization”. It relies on the manufacturing advantages of the Guangzhou Development Zone and combines Hong Kong’s scientific research, sales, design, intellectual property and other advantages. Forming good industrial complementarity.

　　Therefore, our development path has always been based on manufacturing and promoted in-depth cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

We are currently building a "44X" modern industrial system in depth. Specifically, we are consolidating and improving the four leading industries, namely intelligent manufacturing, high-end daily chemicals, health food, and new generation information technology; cultivating and strengthening the four emerging industries, namely smart logistics, Biomedicine and general health, cultural trade, and high-end service industries; advance layout of X big future industries, such as brain-inspired intelligence, quantum communications, etc.

　　In addition, the new “bonded +” consumption format is becoming a new feature and highlight.

At the beginning of this year, China's first cross-border e-commerce fast delivery bonded direct purchase store opened in the cooperation zone. Not only did a large number of citizens love shopping, but it also attracted large shopping malls in Hong Kong to discuss cooperation.

Now, our wine culture street has new changes every day, and more shops are being introduced.

In the future, we will give full play to the leading role of the National Import Trade Promotion Innovation Demonstration Zone and the National Foreign Cultural Trade Base (Guangzhou), rely on the Red Wine Cultural Street and the Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and explore the creation of Guangzhou's first industry-city integration new business and "bonded +" consumption new Business format.

　　When people from Hong Kong and Macao come to Guangzhou-Guangzhou Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone, they will integrate into a high-quality living circle that is suitable for living, working and traveling.

We have promoted the formation of a five-in-one support system of "education + medical + community + legal + industry".

In terms of life, the country's first health service center for Hong Kong and Macao residents (Guangzhou) has been built, and the Guangzhou Zhonghuang Foreign Languages ​​Experimental School and Zhonghuang Hong Kong and Macao Children's School have been completed and put into operation. The living circle can cover communities, companies, and third-level schools within a 10-minute walk. Hospitals, government affairs centers, commercial streets, subway entrances.

In terms of public space, the construction of the Fuxu Ancient Canal connection project will be accelerated this year to introduce urban vitality into the riverside space.

　　Talk about investment promotion and implementation of enterprise service specialist system to ensure all factors of investment promotion projects

　　Guangzhou Daily: Strengthen industrial interaction with Hong Kong and Macao and enter the "spring" of investment promotion.

Please introduce how Guangzhou Suigang Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone will do a good job in attracting investment this year.

　　Dai Xinxiang: Let me first introduce the current cooperation situation between Guangzhou-Sui-Hong Kong Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone and Hong Kong.

In terms of enterprise introduction, there are currently 253 Hong Kong-funded enterprises such as Watsons and Lee Kum Kee, accounting for 23% of the Hong Kong-funded enterprises in Huangpu District.

The country's first health service center for Hong Kong and Macao residents (Guangzhou) has been put into operation, serving nearly 3,000 people from Hong Kong and Macao. In terms of public services, the Hong Kong and Macao Public Legal Service Center has been launched to provide legal consultation, lawyer mediation, and policy publicity to enterprises and employees in the park. and other legal services; Guangzhou Zhonghuang School for Children of Hong Kong and Macao and Guangzhou Zhonghuang Foreign Languages ​​Experimental School have been completed and put into operation.

　　At the end of last year, we also established the first dual-carbon industry service center in the country's economic development zone - Guangzhou Development Zone Guangzhou-Hong Kong Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone Dual-Carbon Industry Service Center, and introduced the first batch of five top "dual-carbon" professional service agencies, including Hong Kong The Quality Assurance Bureau and China Power Equipment are both Hong Kong institutions, making this the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Bureau's first cooperation project in the domestic dual-carbon field.

　　From this information, we can see that the project introduction we are talking about is not purely an industrial or commercial project, but an all-round strengthening of cooperation with Hong Kong, taking into account the funds, land, application scenarios and even talent needs required for enterprise development. Public services such as education and medical support shall be guaranteed to attract projects in all factors.

　　Specifically, in terms of investment methods, we will target high-end industries such as new generation information technology, biomedicine, aerospace, and low-altitude economy to attract investment, attract investment through business, promote investment through precise configuration, and use platforms to attract investment.

In the first half of this year, we will go to Hong Kong to conduct "point-to-point" investment promotion and give full play to the economic responsibility of the Guangzhou-Hong Kong Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone.

　　When enterprises put forward the need to settle down, we have the land, the carrier, the policy advantages, and the cooperation mechanism is efficient and smooth.

Everyone is very concerned about whether the Western District will be in short supply of land resources after so many years of development.

We have started to solve this problem many years ago. Last year, we also issued the "Nine Points for Secondary Entrepreneurship" to promote the acquisition and storage of expired and inefficient land in the Western District of Guangzhou Development Zone.

At present, the Guangzhou Suigang Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone has an available land area of ​​approximately 850,000 square meters and various industrial carriers of 742,000 square meters, which has released sufficient development space. Enterprises are very welcome to invest in construction.

　　The investment environment we create is not one that is eager for quick success and quick gains, but is truly "responsive to all calls and does not disturb anything". We implement a corporate service specialist system, and for each company, a service specialist will "one person to connect, one person to coordinate, one person to follow up" to the end”, which further improves the speed and efficiency of service companies in solving problems.

　　For example, P&G once raised three problems that needed to be solved. First, there was a street light in the middle of the side door, making it inconvenient to enter and exit; second, the greening of the wall needed to be strengthened; and third, there were insufficient parking spaces for employees.

We took action immediately, and later P&G's senior management called us to thank us: "I didn't expect that after reporting the problems on the first day, two were solved on the second day, and all were solved on the third day. You are so efficient!"

　　We are confident that we will attract investment this year, accelerate the introduction of a number of new projects, cultivate new productive forces, strengthen economic and trade exchanges and cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao, and give full play to the economic responsibility of the Guangzhou-Hong Kong Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone.

　　Talking about the future prospects of developing "Bonded+" and enhancing the leading and driving role of new productivity

　　Guangzhou Daily: Based on the new positioning of "one point, two places" in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, how can the Guangzhou-Sui-Hong Kong Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperation Zone better serve the development of the Greater Bay Area in the next step?

　　The new "Bonded +" consumption format will be worth looking forward to. We are vigorously introducing the "China Import and Export Fair Extension Center" to introduce the spillover effects of the Canton Fair into the cooperation zone and build it into another main trading platform.

In the future, this place will be the consumer price "depression" in the center of eastern Guangzhou, with rich, authentic products and cheap prices. The benefits brought by the new bonded direct purchase consumption model of "bonded display + cross-border e-commerce" will be given to consumers.

　　Finally, the Fuxu Ancient Canal cultural tourism project has been accelerated.

Relying on the Fuxu Ancient Canal, we will deeply explore the rich historical relics and cultural resources, accelerate the formation of the "Ten Scenic Spots of Fuxu, the Riverside Headquarters Economic Belt, and the Western District Core Business District", vigorously build a new landmark for cultural export along the Maritime Silk Road, and fully support the construction of a new era in the Greater Bay Area.
