Speaking of my country's well-known brand Huawei, apart from mobile phones and the recently hotly discussed "Hongmeng" system, what else do you think of? In fact, Huawei's business is now not just limited to the mobile phone industry. In the 5G field, Huawei has long become a "leader."
According to data from the world’s 5G construction statistics, Huawei’s 5G communications equipment shipments currently rank first in the world in terms of “good results.” Moreover, Huawei has applied for the largest number of 5G patents in the world. As of the end of 2020, Huawei's number of valid patents has exceeded 100,000, once again ranking first in the world.
Nowadays, many well-known domestic companies will locate their headquarters in my country’s economically prosperous first-tier cities. For example, Tencent and Huawei are headquartered in Shenzhen; Alibaba has 6 headquarters around the world, each located in China. There are Hong Kong headquarters, Taiwan headquarters and Hangzhou headquarters. However, Jack Ma once said that Alibaba’s second headquarters will be located in Beijing in the future. At the same time, JD.com’s headquarters will also be established in Beijing.
my country’s first-tier cities are not only economically prosperous, but the GDP of a city can be equal to that of a country, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. However, in recent years, a city has been quietly "rising" and has attracted many giant companies to invest here. This city is Dongguan.
Speaking of Dongguan, I believe many people are familiar with it. Dongguan is one of the prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province and is a central city on the east bank of the Pearl River Delta. Dongguan Tianwen is strategically located, not only in the middle of the Guangzhou-Hong Kong Economic Corridor, but also close to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. With the driving force of the economic city, Dongguan's development will naturally not be bad.
According to the "Dongguan Industrial Economic Development Report", between 2016 and 2020, Dongguan's electronic information manufacturing industry revenue exceeded the hundreds of millions yuan mark, becoming the only trillion-level industry in Dongguan's industry . At the same time, Dongguan is also known as the "Hometown of Mobile Phones". Not only does it have nearly 200,000 mobile phone employees, but 30% of the country's smartphones are produced in Dongguan.
From the perspective of permanent population data, as of 2020, the number of permanent residents in Dongguan is 10.4667 million, ranking third in Guangdong Province in total population, and the population growth rate in 10 years is 27.33. According to a survey by the 21st Century Economic Research Institute, Dongguan has the highest proportion of mobile population in the total permanent population, accounting for 75.98. Economists analyze that if a city has a large mobile population, it means that its attraction to outsiders is relatively high, so Dongguan's external attraction is still very good.
In the "2021 City Business Charm Ranking", Dongguan once again entered the new first-tier city in 2021, and this is the fifth time that Dongguan has entered the new first-tier city list. At the same time, Dongguan is also one of the youngest cities in the country. The current average age in Dongguan is 33.4 years old.
Judging from the various data of Dongguan, it is indeed a city with extremely strong development momentum. Some people even think that Dongguan may become a "Little Shenzhen". Moreover, Dongguan has attracted a lot of attention due to its favorable economic environment. Major Internet groups have "taken root", so why can Dongguan be "favored" by major enterprises?
JD.com "spent" 32 billion, Alibaba invested 8 billion, and Huawei "settled"?
As mentioned above, Dongguan’s geographical location is very good, and the cost of living in Dongguan is lower than that of Shenzhen and Guangzhou. In addition, Dongguan has policy support, which has attracted many companies invisibly. . The first is Alibaba, which invested 8 billion yuan in Dongguan to establish a base for Cainiao Network. Dongguan has a mature electronics industry and is very helpful for Alibaba's development.
In addition, JD.com is also very optimistic about the future development of Dongguan, and has successively "spent" 32 billion yuan to "bet" on Dongguan, establishing JD.com's industrial park and artificial intelligence industry new city.
In addition to these two companies that we are familiar with, Huawei has also "settled" in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, with a new headquarters costing about 10 billion yuan. The reason why Huawei moved its terminal headquarters from Shenzhen to Dongguan is because Dongguan has attracted attention in recent years.
First of all, the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have gradually become saturated, and Dongguan has more abundant office areas, and the housing prices are not as high as other first-tier cities, which can save companies a lot of money; secondly, Dongguan Known as the "Hometown of Mobile Phones", the electronics manufacturing industry is booming, which has a boosting effect on the development of Internet companies; finally, Dongguan has abundant labor resources. Thanks to its attraction to the foreign population, Dongguan has gathered many talents, and the number of talents Geometry is also an important consideration for the development of enterprises.
Under the economic downturn in 2020, Dongguan's GDP is 965 billion yuan, just one step away from the "trillion club"; some experts analyze that Dongguan is very likely to win the GDP in 2021. Trillion GDP. If Dongguan succeeds in becoming a "trillion" city, then there will be the fourth city in Guangdong Province with a GDP reaching a trillion level, and Dongguan's future development is promising.
