Since June, 5438+February, 2022, with the major adjustment of domestic epidemic prevention policies, many delegations across the country have actively grabbed overseas orders, racing against time to stabilize foreign trade, stabilize the economy and strengthen the foundation. Many major economic provinces, including Zhejiang, Guangdong and Jiangsu, have organized overseas investment promotion and trade delegations and directly went to interested countries to carry out investment promotion activities.
Compared with overseas investment activities in other provinces, investment delegations organized by Hainan Province have different highlights. A member of the delegation told the reporter that the main purpose of this investment delegation is not to take enterprises overseas to grab orders, but to "grab enterprises" and "grab projects".
The reporter of "National Business Daily" learned from the International Economic Development Bureau of Hainan Province that the main leaders of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government made arrangements during the twentieth party congress and demanded to take the lead in "going out" to attract investment. In 2022, from165438+1October 27th to 65438+February 65438+July, Hainan Province sent investment promotion teams to Japan, Germany and other places to carry out investment promotion work. The most striking thing about this investment promotion activity is the "gift package" consisting of more than 80 implemented free trade port policies, including the shortest negative list of foreign investment access and the first negative list of cross-border service trade, which also shows the great sincerity of the delegation.

"Hainan's investment is really vigorous. This is also the first investment promotion meeting I have attended in Japan since the epidemic. " In an interview with the National Business Daily, Zhou felt that the company had no projects in Hainan at present, and hoped to promote some cooperation projects in Hainan after the epidemic.

"We are very interested in using Hainan's fifth freedom rights to open the Singapore/Phnom Penh Haikou Fukuoka route and look forward to strengthening cooperation with Hainan Airport."
Zhou told reporters that his company is very concerned about the policy of Hainan Free Trade Port, but since the outbreak of the epidemic, it has not had the opportunity to have face-to-face contact with Hainan Investment Group. "This investment delegation not only introduced us in Japanese, but also brought real projects, which made us feel refreshed."
On June 6th, 2022, 65438+February 6th, 2022, the investment delegation of Hainan Free Trade Port to Japan held the "Policy and Investment Opportunity Briefing Meeting of Hainan Free Trade Port" in Tokyo, Japan, which was the first special investment promotion activity held overseas by Hainan in recent three years. The online and offline synchronization briefing attracted more than 65,438+000 participants from more than 50 Japanese institutions and enterprises, including Japan Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Mitsubishi Corporation, Itochu Corporation, Lotte Corporation, Japan Express Corporation, Bobaotang and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank.
According to the information provided by the International Economic Development Bureau of Hainan Province, on the afternoon of February 9th, 65438, the Hainan Free Trade Port Policy and Investment Opportunity Promotion Conference hosted by Hainan Investment Delegation in Japan was successfully held in Fukuoka, Japan. This is the third special promotion meeting held by Hainan Merchants Group in Japan, and it is also the first promotion event held in China in Fukuoka in three years.
Hainan Merchants Group introduced the business cooperation opportunities between Hainan Free Trade Port and Japan in detail around the tax policy, industrial layout, development opportunities, conferences and exhibitions of Hainan Free Trade Port.
Talking about the gains from face-to-face contact with the China Merchants Group, Zhou told the reporter of National Business Daily that this contact has benefited a lot, such as understanding the "two 15%" income tax policies of Hainan Free Trade Zone and Free Trade Port, which is very important for attracting foreign companies and high-end talents needed by foreign companies.
"We pay special attention to the policy of tax exemption and attracting talents in free trade ports, and expect Hainan to establish an international business environment, increase opening up and ensure the free flow of goods, funds and talents. Foreign businessmen can operate in the free trade zone according to law, operate fairly and operate with peace of mind. " Zhou said to him.
Members of the delegation: 7 hours to meet customers in the snow,
The leather shoes ran away
"In addition to meeting customers, I am on the road and my schedule is very tight. My leather shoes are so big that I don't have time to exchange them for a new pair. " Zhang Qingyi, vice president of Yangpu International Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., talked about the experience of going to Germany with the delegation to attract investment. Although it was only five days, the team made a breakthrough in the cooperation project with bielefeld University of Applied Science and Technology.
From June 5438+February 12 to June 16, 2022, Vice Governor Johnny led a delegation of Hainan provincial government to Germany for a five-day investment promotion activity. This visit to Germany is an important action to implement a series of important understandings reached during the meeting between the leaders of the two countries in early and mid-October, 2022, and to further deepen the economic and trade exchanges and cooperation between Hainan Free Trade Port and Germany.
As a member of Hainan Investment Promotion Delegation, Zhang Qingyi participated in this activity. In an interview with the National Business Daily, he believed that compared with previous years, the biggest feature of this overseas investment promotion was accurate investment promotion. "We are not one-to-many promotion, but one-to-one talk about project landing."
Zhang Qingyi, vice president of Yangpu International, provided pictures of investment delegations going to Germany to discuss projects.
"The pressure is still relatively large, and the previous plans were basically completed by staying up late. We want foreign businessmen to fully understand the policies of Hainan Free Trade Port and promote projects within a few hours. " Zhang Qingyi told reporters that Yangpu International mainly undertakes four tasks this time: first, introducing Hainan, second, introducing free trade port policy, third, introducing Yangpu Economic Development Zone, and fourth, introducing ideas and ideas related to the project.
Talking about the feeling of inviting business with the group, Zhang Qingyi told the reporter of National Business Daily with great interest that time was tight and the task was heavy. During the investment promotion period, it has been snowing in Germany, so cars can't drive too fast on expressway. The longest trip took seven hours by car.
"In order not to delay the time of meeting customers, the vice governor who led the team and we had a simple meal at McDonald's next to the expressway." Zhang Qingyi told reporters that his leather shoes ran away. Although I was worried that I would be embarrassed to meet my customers, I wanted to buy another pair, but I didn't find an opportunity until I returned to China.
Although the process is difficult, the results are still fruitful. On June 5438+February 65438+March, 2022, the signing ceremony of the independent school-running project between Hainan Province and Universities of Applied Sciences, bielefeld, Germany and the special investment promotion meeting for bielefeld cooperative enterprises were successfully held in bielefeld, Germany.
Schwann, president of Universities of Applied Sciences, bielefeld, Germany, said that the Hainan delegation visited the school at the first stop of their visit to Germany, and the school was very honored and happy to hold the signing ceremony on campus. The cooperation project between Bikoda and Hainan is very innovative, and everyone is committed to finding a solution for Bikoda's Hainan project together.
Shi Woyin pointed out that Hainan Bicycle University will create a new situation of cooperation between Germany and China in the fields of higher education and vocational education, introduce the innovative mode of applied science university into China, and practice embedded mode to train engineering economic talents. The signing of the tripartite cooperation framework agreement laid an important foundation for the promotion of the project. Hainan Bicycle University will start the first phase of the project in Yangpu as soon as possible, and will deepen cooperation with German enterprises in China.
Government departments: use Hainan's "specialties"
I rushed to Japan, Germany and other places to attract investment.
The National Business Daily reporter noted that compared with Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Sichuan and other major economic provinces that have occupied "trillion clubs" for a long time, Hainan's economic volume is not large. According to the data released by the statistics department, in 20021year, Hainan's GDP was 647.52 billion yuan, up by 1 1.2% year-on-year.
However, the scale of attracting foreign investment in Hainan Province is not small. According to statistics, since 20 18, investors from 126 countries and regions have invested in Hainan, the number of foreign-invested enterprises in Hainan has increased by nearly 120% annually, and the actually utilized foreign capital has increased by 80% annually. In 20021year, Hainan actually utilized 3.52 billion US dollars of foreign capital, ranking ninth in the country. Hainan, as a small economic province, has become a big province that uses foreign capital.
Huang Cui, director of the International Liaison Department of the International Economic Development Bureau of Hainan Province, said in an interview with the reporter of National Business Daily that the main task of the Hainan provincial government delegation's overseas investment promotion is to attract investment, strive to publicize the new policies and new business opportunities of Hainan Free Trade Port to the world, accurately connect with global head enterprises, discuss the potential and path of cooperation with all parties, and promote substantial progress in major cooperation projects.
At the same time, the reporter learned from the International Economic Development Bureau of Hainan Province that the Hainan provincial government delegation showed great sincerity in overseas investment, especially in a heavy policy "gift package".

This "gift package" is simply more than 180 free trade port policies, some of which are Hainan's "specialties"-such as the shortest negative list of foreign investment access in China, the first negative list of cross-border service trade in China, and the policies of "two 15% income tax", three "zero tariff" and tariff-free processing value-added tax.
Huang Cui told the reporter of National Business Daily that the investment delegation was attended by many departments, with the aim of giving full play to their respective advantages and forming an organic whole.
For example, the investment promotion team in Japan is led by Hainan Economic Development Bureau and will form a team of seven people with Haikou City and Sanya City; The German investment delegation is led by provincial leaders and consists of the Provincial Department of Commerce, Hainan Economic Development Bureau, Provincial Department of Education, Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, Yangpu Economic Development Zone and other departments.
In addition, the investment promotion team to China SAR is led by provincial leaders and consists of Provincial Department of Commerce, Hainan Economic Development Bureau, Provincial Department of Education, Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and Provincial Foreign Affairs Office. At the same time, Hainan Economic Development Bureau, Haikou City and Sanya City also sent investment teams to carry out activities in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and visit more institutions and enterprises.
"In order to strive for the initiative to go out in the first time, the preparation time of the delegation is very tight." Huang Cui told reporters that in terms of media publicity, it basically depends on the staff of the delegation. Besides work, we also need to collect images, videos and other materials, write reports in time and send them back to China. When visiting overseas, we should also make time for media interviews to respond to the concerns of all parties about Hainan's foreign investment activities.
"Because the international flights have not fully recovered at the time of the visit, it is necessary to plan the schedule and route accurately, and the itinerary is particularly tight." Huang Cui recalled that apart from the talks, they were basically on the road. In order to improve the efficiency of going abroad, the delegation docked with all parties in time, and adopted one-on-one interviews, one-to-many negotiations, large-scale promotion activities and other ways to attract investment.
Talking about the impressive details of this investment promotion activity, Huang Cui told the reporter of National Business Daily that, first of all, all departments jointly promoted investment to give full play to their respective advantages, and the projects supported each other and achieved excellent results.
For example, Bielefeld Universities of Applied Sciences opened an independent school in Hainan to train senior industrial talents, which solved the concerns about the supply of human resources in the process of enterprise investment and played a positive role in promoting the cooperation between other advanced manufacturing projects and Hainan Free Trade Port.
On the other hand, efforts are made to build an industrial ecosystem and attract investment from the industrial chain. Huang Cui said that the main purpose of this overseas investment promotion is to catch leading enterprises, integrate relevant resources in the upper, middle and lower reaches according to industrial characteristics, and push the project into production.
"For example, in the process of communication with Linde Group, Hainan actively coordinated the upstream raw material suppliers of the project to discuss together. Knowing that the delegation's schedule was tight, high-level raw material suppliers from the United States, Russia and Italy rushed to Munich to meet with the Hainan delegation and actively participated in the cooperation of the project. " Huang Wei said.
