Export raw materials from rural areas
Go south along Shide Railway near Jinzhou, 307 National Highway, and you can reach Jinzhou Cocoon Town. In the south-central part of cocoon town, Jinzhou Economic Development Zone has just been upgraded to a provincial development zone. Jinzhou Overseas Students Pioneer Park and Shijiazhuang Overseas High-level Talents Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base are located in it.
At present, Hebei Bolunte Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is still the main enterprise in the park. The English equivalent of "Bolent" is "brant"-this is ancient German, which is a general term for immortals by ancient Germans. This name seems to have pinned the expectations of Wei Li, the founder of the company, for his career.
1995 Wei Li, 32, decided to leave. "At that time, I felt too tired psychologically. This is not the direction I should choose. Sitting in that position, you can see the scene of retirement after decades. " By chance, Wei Li met a Japanese professor in tokyo institute of technology during his work, and sent a letter asking him to be a visiting scholar at the university. The Japanese professor readily agreed. Wei Li's later experience seems to have a momentum of "one go": visiting scholar, Dr. tokyo institute of technology, postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, all of whose research interests are "synthetic chemistry". He returned to China in 2005 and worked as the chief engineer in Hebei Weiyuan Biochemical Co., Ltd. During his tenure as the "chief engineer", his generous annual salary allowed him to accumulate the "principal" for starting a business in the future.
"At the end of 2009, my company changed. At that time, I thought,' People must do something when they are alive' and decided to go it alone. After consulting with several partners who originally claimed to be doctoral graduates, everyone agreed. " Wei Li recalled. Wei Li's resolute farewell made him take another step on the ladder of life.
After preliminary investment direction demonstration, site selection and contact negotiation, Wei Li decided to choose his hometown Jinzhou Town, with the investment direction of "R&D and the production of pharmaceutical intermediates and chiral compounds, pharmaceutical precursors and APIs", and the products are mainly sold overseas.
At the beginning of 20/0/0, KLOC registered "Hebei Bolunte", and the company signed a contract with Jinzhou Municipal Government. "Cocoon town is a treasure with great potential. Adjacent to Shide Railway, Yin Qing Expressway and Shihuang Expressway. The planned Shida Expressway and Hengshui-Handan Expressway will pass through the surrounding areas. There are also Hengjing Line and Qiaoying Highway nearby, which will greatly improve the logistics speed of products. "
High-end talent entrepreneurship is favored. In fact, Wei Li was able to set up a factory in Jinzhou, which was also the result of his "two-way choice" with Jinzhou.
In recent years, Jinzhou has attracted investment and advocated abandoning investment projects with low added value, high energy consumption and high pollution at the expense of destroying the environment. It is to attract high-end talents to start businesses and take the road of high added value, low energy consumption and low pollution.
In June this year, Jinzhou Overseas Students Pioneer Park in Hebei Province was unveiled in the Development Zone. It and Shijiazhuang overseas high-level talent innovation and entrepreneurship base were established with the approval of the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security and the Shijiazhuang Municipal People's Government. In July this year, with the approval of the provincial government, Jinzhou Economic Development Zone officially entered the management sequence of provincial development zones, which is also the only park in Hebei that started its business with returnees.
Jinzhou is building a unique high-end talent entrepreneurial zone in its own way.
"Knowledge economy is a talent economy. Leading the adjustment of economic structure with talent structure adjustment and leading the leap-forward development of county economy with talent priority development strategy. " Jinzhou City has reached a * * * understanding on the guiding principles of attracting investment.
In order to attract overseas students to start businesses in Jinzhou, Jinzhou invests more than 200 million yuan every year in the infrastructure construction of economic development zones, and comprehensively enhances the image and carrying capacity of the development zones. A number of policies and measures have been issued to encourage and support the accelerated development of the private economy, 42 suggestions have been made to further optimize the development environment, and key projects such as VIP nanny service, green channel and one-stop service for service enterprises have been launched. Unique quality service measures such as "one-yuan registered enterprise" have issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of Jinzhou Overseas Students Pioneer Park. Every year, the municipal budget is 30 million yuan to set up a "special fund for entrepreneurship in the Pioneer Park", which implements "zero fee" for overseas students, and fully subsidizes the loan interest and guarantee fee of high-tech enterprises in the first three years, providing many preferential incentives and convenient conditions for overseas students to start businesses.
Of course, for an investment entrepreneur like Wei Li, after studying the investment environment in other regions and comparing the investment policies, he chose Jinzhou on the principle of being conducive to the development of enterprises.
At present, the overall proportion of overseas high-end personnel returning to China to start businesses is very small. Wei Li said: "I think the first problem is the bottleneck of funds. Affected by this factor, many people choose to stay in foreign companies such as Fortune 500 to be stable' white-collar workers'; Secondly, entrepreneurship needs to coordinate and handle various social relations, and the comprehensive quality required is relatively comprehensive, which may be lacking by many people. "
"After signing a contract, choosing a site to build a factory and running various procedures, I deeply realized that' I have to find a secretary to find a mayor'. I have been wandering between various functional departments, not only not inviting them to eat, but also' squatting' a lot. " Wei Li said, "You just need to settle down and do business in a down-to-earth manner."
Aggregation effect of "attracting phoenix with phoenix"
Team Wei Li entered Jinzhou Economic Development Zone, which was a "win-win" result. For the Wei Li team, this is the place where they start a business and then realize their personal dreams; For the local area, Wei Li team played the role of "attracting phoenix with phoenix", accelerated the introduction of high-end talents in county economy, promoted the technological transformation of local chemical and pharmaceutical enterprises, reduced losses and pollution, and then upgraded the files.
After Wei Li decided to create "Hebei Bolunte", he distributed "Hero Post" to attract domestic industry experts and foreign doctors to join. At present, Wei Li's team has five doctors, namely: Doctor of Engineering in tokyo institute of technology, Japan, Xing Xinhui in bioengineering; Chen Yu, Ph.D., Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, Canada; postdoctoral fellow, Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, USA, majoring in catalysis and synthesis; Dr. Quan Feng, Institute of Process Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Shang Mu Hong, Ph.D., Department of Pharmacy, Kyoto University, and postdoctoral fellow, Department of Chemistry, Colorado State University, USA; Zhang, Ph.D., Department of Chemistry, University of Manchester, UK, and postdoctoral fellow, Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, Canada, with asymmetric synthesis direction.
Wei Li and five doctors work together, or do overall coordination, or focus on product technology, or study market trends, or keep a close eye on foreign industry technology, or explore overseas markets. Since the trial operation of the workshop in March, 20 1 1, the company's production and financial operation have been getting better and better.
Wei Li believes that Jinzhou Economic Development Zone is a good platform for overseas technical talents. At the same time, in contact with local chemical enterprises, Li Wei was deeply touched: "Their technology is very lacking, which is the fundamental reason that restricts the sustainable development of enterprises." The R&D team of "Hebei Bolente" has more than 20 people, which can completely help local similar enterprises to improve their technology.
Hebei "Jinzhou Overseas Students Pioneer Park" has developed steadily. In addition to actively recruiting high-end talents in Jinzhou, "Hebei Bolunte" is also helping the government attract investment. "This park should develop into a systematic industry of chemical and pharmaceutical industry, including not only the main business of chemical and pharmaceutical industry, but also environmental protection engineering, bioengineering and chemical equipment manufacturing."
Many people believe that parks with high-tech support and high-end talents will be very strong in the future.
"High-end entrepreneurship" will be better tomorrow.
Zhang Guangyin, director of Jinzhou Economic Development Zone Management Committee, said that the infrastructure construction of the park has been basically completed, and an east-west road will be built next year, connecting Gaocheng in the west, extending to Huai 'an Road in Shijiazhuang, and connecting lines with various expressways in the east.
The pharmaceutical industry is known as a sunrise industry that will never decline. Pharmaceutical products are one of the 15 commodities with the largest international trading volume, and the annual growth rate of international trading volume is about 9%, exceeding the growth rate of any other products. Wei Li and others believe that Shijiazhuang has become one of the most important industrial manufacturing centers of biological and chemical APIs in China, with a solid development foundation. According to the national industrial policy, we will focus on supporting the export of chemical intermediates and APIs, and encourage the development of foreign patented drugs transfer production, superior patented drugs and pharmaceutical intermediates production, technological innovation of API production, and new drug industrialization.
At present, the products of "Hebei Bolente" are mainly sold overseas, but the domestic market is also being developed. We are actively contacting Shi Yao and Huayao to develop the market. The goal of "Hebei Bolente" is to go public within five years.
At present, the Pioneer Park has 7 doctors, 5 enterprises have been completed and put into operation, 2 are under construction and 2 are under investment negotiation.
