Chapter 2186 Shift of Center of Gravity
In June, the weather in Shenzhen has become very hot. Even though he has been in Shenzhen for ten years, as a northerner, Duan Yun still feels very uncomfortable about the high temperature here.

During this period of time, Duan Yun first went to Shanghai to check the goods logistics transfer center that has been put into operation.

According to Duan Yun's plan, he will establish four logistics centers in China, which are the most developed BJ, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenyang, and Shanghai is the most important hub in this system, because he connects the north and south of the motherland , and Shanghai has the largest port transportation system in China, so Duan Yun has always attached great importance to the construction of the Shanghai logistics center.

In October last year, Duan Yun had already visited Shanghai. The person who received him at that time was Zhou Yupeng, director of the Management Committee of Shanghai Pudong New Area. His great support.

And eight months later, when Duan Yun came to Shanghai Pudong New District again, he was a little surprised by the scene in front of him.

In less than a year, the changes in Pudong New Area in Shanghai can be described as earth-shaking. The most intuitive thing is that most of the roads here have become two-way four-lane roads. The road surface is very equal. In addition, there are many idle land in Pudong New Area. It is also covered by brand-new factory buildings. The number of vehicles entering and leaving here every day is much higher than that of Duan Yun last time. It can be seen that the development of Shanghai Pudong New Area is very rapid, which can be described as changing with each passing day.

Although Duan Yun has learned from the report of the Shanghai branch that Pudong has changed a lot, this large-scale change is beyond Duan Yun's imagination. As far as miracles are concerned, it is completely worse than worse. On the one hand, it is because the SH municipal government and the country attach great importance to the development of Pudong New Area and have invested a lot of human, material and financial resources. On the other hand, the level of national infrastructure construction has been improved. Soon, the entry of large-scale mechanized equipment allowed various projects to be completed efficiently.

This time it was still Zhou Yupeng who received Duan Yun. When he learned of Duan Yun's arrival, he went to the airport to greet him in person, and took him directly to the guest house in the office area of ​​Pudong New Area. After having lunch together, the two of them went directly to visit the new area.

"As for the expansion of your company's logistics warehouse in Shanghai, our SH municipal government also attaches great importance to it. Considering that your company transports a huge amount of goods across the country every year, we specially expanded the roads around your factory. There are not many companies that are paid, and among the private companies, you are the first one." On the way to the logistics warehouse by car, Zhou Yupeng said to Duan Yun with a smile.

"I've also heard about the things here, and I really appreciate Director Zhou's support for our company." Duan Yun said gratefully, and then said: "Actually, in the future layout of our company, Shanghai has always been a very important place. Important node, we will increase investment in the next few years to bring some new high-tech industries to Shanghai.”

"That's really great!" Zhou Yupeng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said: "If you Tianyi Group is willing to invest in Shanghai Pudong New Area, we welcome it very much. At present, the scale of our Pudong New Area is also expanding. , since the year before last, the areas of Huangpu, Yangpu and the forests of Minhang have been recycled. Our new district has a lot of land resources. To put it bluntly, these lands are reserved for excellent companies like you. As long as your projects If you can pass the audit, we will definitely fully support you to open a new factory here."

"That's really great." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "The next step, I plan to open an electronic branch factory here in Shanghai, mainly producing DVD and MP3 products, and most of these products are for export. I hope that Shanghai can introduce more support policies for export-oriented enterprises, so that both of us can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, so that our new district can develop better."

Duan Yun's words were definitely not meant to please Zhou Yupeng. In fact, he really had a plan in this regard.

For a long time, the industrial center of Tianyin Group has been located in Shenzhen, which was the starting point of Duan Yun's early entrepreneurship and the foundation of his career.

However, with the changes in national policies in recent years and the key support for the Pearl River Delta region, Shenzhen, which originally had all the advantages of the right time, place, people and advantages, began to gradually lose its advantages.

The biggest "specialty" of special economic zones has long been reflected in tax incentives. For example, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone implements a 15% corporate income tax preferential tax rate. Nowadays, many coastal cities in China have the same tax advantages, such as Pudong, Shanghai. The New District not only has an advantage over other cities in terms of tax policy, but also the SH City Government has a tax subsidy policy for some key enterprises, and Tianyin Group has been enjoying this policy in recent years. In general, it is even more favorable than that in Shenzhen.

Another point is that the reason why Shenzhen was able to rise rapidly in the early days was largely due to its proximity to Hong Kong. Compared with other cities in China, Shenzhen has more abundant investment and product channels through smuggling and Hong Kong businessmen’s investment in the special zone. In the past, many millionaires and even multi-millionaires were created just by smuggling various electronic components from Hong Kong.

But nowadays, the pace of opening up of the country is getting faster and faster, almost all products can be imported directly without approval, and the ports in the Pearl River Delta region are closer to South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, which makes Shenzhen once again lose some potential advantage.

In fact, today’s Shenzhen still has a strong competitiveness in China, but as a “test field” for the country’s reform and opening up, it is not so important in the overall layout of the country. In the end, Shenzhen relied on three to one to supplement business. It has developed, and now it is very difficult to carry out economic structural reforms, and the area of ​​Shenzhen’s industrial zone is so large that it is far from being comparable to big cities such as Shanghai. This also means that Shenzhen’s development ceiling is not as high as Shanghai’s. of.

Duan Yun decided to relocate the DVD and MP3 production lines to Shanghai. There are two other important reasons. First, Shanghai Pudong New Area has very high subsidies for export companies, and the port is more developed than Shenzhen. In addition, after entering the mid-90s, The trend of internationalization in Shanghai is increasing, and many outstanding overseas talents choose to settle here. Therefore, in the long run, it is very necessary for Duan Yun to transfer some industries to Shanghai.
