Yingkou, a typical urban family in the old industrial base of Northeast China. He is a century-old port city and was once a famous textile industrial base in northeast China. After entering the 1990s, Yingkou became the most severely impacted city by the market economy, with the deterioration of business conditions, the collapse of pillar industries and the almost disappearance of brand-name products. By 1997, the city's industry has been in a negative balance for seven consecutive years, more than 60% of enterprises are in a state of suspension or semi-suspension, and a large number of workers are laid off and unemployed, with an average asset-liability ratio of 87.7%. The industrial economy is almost stagnant, which has triggered a large number of concentrated outbreaks of social contradictions.
Yingkou Port has become a world-class port. Now it has been opened to more than 50 countries and regions around the world 140 ports. Following the opening of the first international container ocean trunk line in Southeast Asia, the first international passenger and cargo liner route was opened in early 2003, ending the history that Yingkou Port had no international passenger transport. In 2005, the cargo throughput of Yingkou Port exceeded 75 million tons, and 800,000 TEUs of containers were completed, with an average annual increase of more than 30%. In 2007, the goal of 100 million tons of ports can be achieved. The development of Yingkou Port directly promoted the development of the development zone. Yingkou Port is not only a brand of Yingkou's opening to the outside world, but also an important window for the central Liaoning urban agglomeration to open to the outside world, connect with the world and actively participate in the division of labor and cooperation in the world economy. In recent years, the development zone has expanded its domestic introduction and external expansion, with double-digit growth in foreign direct investment, foreign trade export, approval of foreign-funded projects and actual utilization of foreign capital.
Yingkou Chenjia Group recently invested 654.38+07 billion yuan in a project, and the news stirred up a thousand waves. A city in the province promised to give industrial land free of charge and help with loans if enterprises settled in the local area; A province in the south also offered more favorable conditions to attract Chen Jia. However, Chenjia Group still chose Yingkou. The boss of the group said: Yingkou was chosen because we believe that Yingkou has formed a good investment environment.
The investment environment in Yingkou has been greatly optimized. After years of opening practice, the main body of Yingkou's opening has changed from government-led to enterprise-led; The field of opening to the outside world has changed from industry-oriented to the comprehensive opening of primary, secondary and tertiary industries and science, education, culture and health; The form of opening to the outside world has changed from the general use of foreign capital to international common practices such as joint venture cooperation, joint research and development, merger and reorganization. It has formed a new pattern of opening to the outside world with the development zone as the leader, the port as the window, the old city as the support, the towns along the Shenyang-Dalian Expressway as the wings, and all-round, multi-level and facing the inside and outside of the city from the city to the countryside. At present, the city has set up 1446 foreign-funded enterprises, ranking third in the province in terms of actual utilization of foreign capital for many years and fourth in terms of foreign exchange earned through export.
Development depends on openness. Yingkou's move to play chess has stepped out of the "Yingkou speed". In recent years, they have seized the opportunity of accelerating industrial transfer, investing northward and revitalizing the old industrial base in Northeast China in domestic coastal provinces, gradually improved the policy supporting system, given equal treatment to local enterprises in land acquisition, water and electricity supply, and actively attracted large domestic enterprises to land in Yingkou, making inline an important way to obtain projects and introduce funds. A large number of domestic enterprises such as China Shipping Company, Huaneng Power Plant and Angang have settled in Yingkou. Among the planned investment projects in Yingkou City in 2004, there are as many as 500 new projects with a construction investment of more than 5 million yuan.
In just a few years, Yingkou has developed a batch of China and even the world's best-China's best: Yingkou Yinglong Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd., which produces nylon 66 civil yarn, Yingkou Pan Pan Door Industry Co., Ltd., which produces automatic commercial doors and civil doors, and Yingkou Renas Aluminum Co., Ltd., which has the largest vertical polyester film spraying (aluminum) production line in China.
The best in the world: Yingkou FOSS Oil Products Co., Ltd., which produces lubricating oil, Yingkou Earthtron Chemical Co., Ltd., which produces zirconium products, Yingkou Cosmetics Co., Ltd., which produces melamine, Yingkou Kelon Refrigerator Co., Ltd., which has the world's most advanced refrigerator manufacturing equipment, Yingkou Eurasia Flower Co., Ltd., which has the world's most advanced greenhouse technology, and Qinghua Group, the largest basic refractory enterprise in the Asia-Pacific region.
Yingkou Medium Plate Co., Ltd. of Minmetals is a high energy consumption enterprise. Since the reform in 2002, they have been insisting on resource-saving activities with energy saving as the main body. Enterprises use a large amount of gas produced in blast furnace production, collect it for sintering, pelletizing, lime kiln, boiler and other processes, and supply it to Yingkou Chenjia Fuel Chemical Company. The enterprise also declared to the province to use the residual pressure of blast furnace top gas to generate electricity, and the annual power generation of the two generator sets can reach 57.62 million kWh. In recent years, Sanzheng Organic Chemical Co., Ltd., a leading fine chemical enterprise in Yingkou, has invested nearly 10 million yuan, constantly increasing the intensity of equipment transformation and process innovation. The enterprise produces synthetic ammonia by itself, recovers the original evacuated hydrogen and nitrogen, reduces the transportation energy consumption of 375 tons /km purchased in the past, and the waste gas generated by synthetic ammonia can be sent to the boiler for recycling.
In 2003, Yingkou area accounted for 9 key start-up projects of circular economy pilot construction in Liaoning Province. Among them, the boron sludge treatment and comprehensive utilization project of Yilong Borax Factory and the comprehensive utilization project of magnesite slag of Qiaokun Huajian Co., Ltd. belong to resource recycling projects. Focusing on sustainable development, Yingkou is stepping up the construction of a number of waste materials resource disposal projects to form a regional resource reproduction base. At present, the city has built more than ten specialized downstream enterprises, and more and more enterprises have abandoned the extensive business model and embarked on the road of sustainable development.
