Clear Water Flows East to this Back —— An Interview with One-way Front, Secretary of Wuhu Municipal Committee, Anhui Province

Xinhua Finance Hefei, January 10 (Reporter Wang Tao) More than 70 years ago, on the river surface of the battle of crossing the river for nearly a thousand miles, "the first ship crossing the river by a million mighty men" landed here;

More than 40 years ago, the "fool melon seeds", known as the "reform primrose" that promoted the private economy, became the imprint of that era here;

More than 20 years ago, Chery Automobile, the flag of the national automobile industry, started here from a "small grass house" on the Yangtze River …

The Yangtze River heading east suddenly turns northward here. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote that "Tianmen interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flowed back here", which is what he said here.

"Wuhu has a pioneering environment, and this spirit is also the gene and trait of an important city in Wuhu. It has always relied on this creation to closely integrate the requirements of the CPC Central Committee the State Council, the provincial party Committee and the provincial government with the local reality, and embark on its own development path to support and tolerate the main body of innovation and creation." Wu Hu, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, said in an interview with reporters a few days ago.

Wuhu, as the second GDP city in Anhui Province, is positioned as a provincial sub-center. In the first three quarters of 2021, its GDP growth rate was as high as 13.6%, making it the fastest growing city in the Yangtze River Delta region. It emerged from a melon seed and hatched a large number of well-known enterprises such as Chery Automobile, CONCH and Three Squirrels, becoming one of the most successful cities in the past 40 years of reform and opening up.

City and Innovation: Innovation is the most precious development gene of Wuhu.

"Innovation is Wuhu’s most precious development gene, the deepest brand of the times and the most distinctive urban characteristics." One-way forward

Wuhu has an indissoluble bond with automobiles. Chery Automobile, which has grown into a banner of the national automobile industry, has always been associated with Wuhu. It can be said that the automobile gene has been deeply embedded in the city of Wuhu. Looking at the technological innovation path of Chery Automobile, we can see what innovation means to Wuhu.

In 1997, a group of young people with "car dreams" came to Wuhu. In just two years, Chery’s first self-developed car was officially off the assembly line, and then QQ and the son of the East entered the market in mass production. After 24 years of hard work, Chery Automobile has achieved a total sales of 9.2 million vehicles, ranking first in China’s passenger car export for 18 consecutive years, and its business scope covers more than 80 overseas countries and regions.

Nowadays, the new energy and intelligent networked automobile industry has become the first industry in Wuhu, with 311 industrial enterprises above designated size and an output value of nearly 130 billion yuan. It has seven national R&D platforms, including the National Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Automobile Engineering Technology Research Center and the Automotive Electronics Engineering Research Center, and 77 provincial R&D platforms, with Chery and CIMC Ruijiang as the leaders, Yaskawa Electric, Anwar Xinneng and Qidi Semiconductor as the backbones, and Hongjing Electronics, Alfa Silicon, etc.

In 1950s, Wuhu shipbuilding; In the late 1990s, Wuhu built cars; Today, Wuhu has realized the dream of building an airplane. Manned space flight and domestic large aircraft all have the figure of "Wuhu Zhizao". In Wuhu Aviation Industrial Park, since the test flight of the first "Anhui-made" general-purpose aircraft of CLP Wuhu diamond aircraft, the number of orders has reached more than 150 in just over three years.

One-way forward said: "What does enterprise innovation mean to a city? On the one hand, cities should serve enterprises and cultivate excellent enterprises; On the other hand, the city is also infected by enterprises, making the innovative spirit of enterprises become the innovative spirit of the city, and the two sides complement each other. "

To this end, Wuhu continues to create an innovative ecology and enhance the agglomeration of urban elements. Deeply participate in the construction of G60 Science and Technology Corridor, gather and integrate innovative elements, and the whole society’s R&D investment accounts for 3.34%. At the same time, Wuhu is promoting the multiplication plan of high-tech enterprises, the incremental plan of regulated industrial enterprises, and the five-year action plan of listing enterprises, and strive to exceed 2,000 in 2023, and the number of regulated industrial enterprises will reach more than 2,500. By 2025, there will be 15 billion enterprises, 5 billion enterprises and 50 listed companies.

City and business: policy cashing should be as convenient as online shopping.

"China is seen by world cement, and conch is seen by China cement", as the world’s top 500 conch group, many people are familiar with it, but they don’t know that conch was not in Wuhu at first, but only after it moved to Wuhu did it grow rapidly, from a small seedling to a towering tree.

However, the growth of conch is not an isolated case. Chery, the flag of the national automobile industry, and the first three squirrels, the national leisure snacks, are all star enterprises that have emerged in Wuhu in recent years. So what is the password behind Wuhu’s incubation enterprises?

"whether a company can land in one place, in fact, the key is not the speed of doing things, but ultimately depends on whether the company can make a profit. Wuhu first proposed to aim at the average profit rate of enterprises and work hard to create a better business environment by reducing costs. " One-way front representation.

In recent years, Wuhu has taken optimizing the business environment as the key move to open a new bureau in response to the situation, and launched a series of new ideas and measures to create a better business environment, such as "talking breakfast" and "1% work method". Among them, the "1% working method" has also been included in the typical experience and practice discovered by the eighth general inspection in the State Council, and it has been reported and praised.

One-way forward said that whether an enterprise can make a profit depends on two parts. One is its own core competitiveness, but the bigger part lies in the ecological environment where the enterprise is located. From the local point of view, it is necessary to aim at this ecological environment to improve it. One-way ago, we asked 300 enterprises that have a great impact on Wuhu’s development to conduct in-depth research and dismantle their balance sheets. On the basis of comprehensive analysis of the cost and profit composition of enterprises, we set up nine working groups, including energy, employment, logistics, taxes and fees, and financing, to study measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency respectively, so as to help enterprises increase their profit rate by 1% on the original basis.

"Enterprises don’t need you to teach them how to do it. Whether its operating costs can be reduced or whether it can directly lead to a 1% increase in profit margins, enterprises will have real feelings. This is the origin of everything that builds our current business environment. " One-way forward

In addition to this 1% real profit-making, Wuhu’s original "Chatting Breakfast" made entrepreneurs feel warm and respectful, which also became a sample for building a "pro" and "clean" relationship between the government and enterprises. Since March, 2021, Wuhu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has regularly invited relevant entrepreneurs to have breakfast talks, without presupposing topics, arranging presenters or preparing speech materials, colliding with ideas and stimulating creativity in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and at the same time collecting demands and opinions. So far, 34 "Breakfast Talks" have been held continuously, and more than 180 entrepreneurs and social organizations have been invited to participate.

It is not only a carrier for serving enterprises, but now the "Chatting Breakfast Meeting" even has a "value" and has become the direction for investment funds to follow the map. One investor said that "as long as the enterprises that have attended the breakfast meeting, we can directly invest 10 million yuan to start".

Whether it’s "1% working method" or "chatting for breakfast", all these add up to form a service enterprise system in Wuhu, and one of the standards that Wuhu finally strives to build is to build an online policy supermarket, and standardize many policies that benefit enterprises and talents scattered in various departments on the Internet. As long as the enterprise code, legal representative and registered user name are entered, the policies to be enjoyed will be realized immediately.

"In the past, enterprises were looking for policies, but now they are looking for enterprises by policies. Wuhu should make policy cashing as convenient as online shopping, and finally realize the quantifiable effect of government services, the quantifiable sense of enterprise development and the quantifiable optimization of business environment." One-way front indicates that the 1% work method fundamentally embodies the integration of services.

City and development: development must first become a city of vitality.

"The first step of urban development is to become a vibrant city, and the whole body must be strong." One-way forward said that the positioning of Wuhu as a provincial sub-center is a great expectation of the provincial party committee and government, which is both a mission and a pressure for Wuhu. Wuhu must strive for the first place, no matter in terms of economic aggregate, development speed, development quality, or urban construction. Of course, the ultimate goal is to improve the people’s livelihood and well-being.

To this end, Wuhu proposed to speed up the creation of "the experimental place for new ideas, the birthplace of new things, and the starting place for new products". For example, the starting place of new products should create an environment for new products to achieve the first order, complete the first financing, or even open the first small shop, where products can be distributed, affordable and well-known. This is the vitality of a city.

In fact, whether the city develops well or not, citizens and enterprises have the most say, and they also know best where the city is blocked, painful and difficult. Wuhu initiated the establishment of the "people’s urban construction partner" system, and the first batch of 10 units including Anhui Normal University, Conch Group and Chery Holdings were selected as "partners". This is not only an honor, but also a two-way responsibility.

High-quality economic development is only one aspect of urban development. What is the ultimate goal of urban construction? Wuhu’s proposal to build a people’s city is to respond to the people’s new yearning for a better life with practical actions, focus on solving the problem of "urgent difficulties and worries" strongly reflected by the masses, continuously improve the functional quality of the city, let more public services benefit the people, leave more public space for the people, and show more goodwill and warmth to every interface, every detail and every corner of urban planning and construction management, so that everyone living here can feel proud and proud from the heart.

Who is Wuhu? Wuhu may be an Normal University, Chery, conch, or even three squirrels. The temperament of a city needs to be materialized into enterprises and units, which all represent the different temperament of the city. However, the urban spirit cannot be an empty existence. It depends on these units that were born, raised, prospered and even expanded in Sri Lanka to show the spirit and temperament of a city.

"What kind of attitude do we have towards them? I feel that it is full service to let them grow and develop in their respective fields. Although no one can fully represent Wuhu, they together constitute the style and temperament of Wuhu City. " One-way forward
