When Tang Tang, general manager of Maiwei Metabolism Co., Ltd. in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, went to Wuhan, Xi'an and other places to recruit doctors a few years ago, people often came up and said that they did not want to work in the county. Lower”. The inability to grab high-end talents is a worry for many entrepreneurs in the county. However, starting from November this year, there is a new solution to this problem. High-end talents introduced by the county can directly enter the Jiashan International (Shanghai) Innovation Center, work in Shanghai, and serve Jiaxing enterprises.
Jiashan County State-owned Enterprise Investment Company has established a talent "enclave" with a construction area of ??20,000 square meters in Shanghai's Hongqiao Business District to specifically serve the county's implementation of corporate R&D in Shanghai and industrialization in Shanghai. Jiashan’s development strategy.
According to statistics from the Organization Department of the Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee, currently, 12 talent “enclaves” have been built in seven counties and cities including Jiashan, Haining, and Pinghu in cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou, with a total area of ??more than 37,000 square meters. , gathering and maximizing efficiency in utilizing all types of innovative talent resources.
Looking for the balance point of "siphon" and "spillover" effects
Jiaxing City is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, but in terms of introducing PhDs and overseas high-level talents, it is in the middle of Shanghai, In the middle of economically powerful cities such as Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Suzhou. In addition, high-end talents are affected by the "tide" phenomenon caused by competition in talent introduction policies from various places. It is difficult for Jiaxing to attract high-end talents and even more difficult to retain high-end talents.
"As the saying goes, it is easy to enjoy the shade under big trees. However, when it comes to attracting and retaining talents, there is often no grass growing under big trees." said Zhang Runchun, deputy director of the Organization Department of Jiashan County Party Committee.
The troubles faced by Jiaxing City and Jiashan County are, in a sense, the same troubles faced by domestic third- and fourth-tier cities and counties as they implement a new round of development strategies.
Zhang Runchun said that on the one hand, talents from small and medium-sized cities are often "siphoned" to big cities by the one-hour traffic circle formed by convenient transportation modes such as high-speed rail. On the other hand, big cities are full of talents, and some high-end talents want to seek greater development space in small and medium-sized cities, resulting in a "spillover" effect of talents.
Zhang Runchun analyzed that in the past, high-end talents could not be retained after coming to work in Jiashan County, mainly because of the lack of academic circle and atmosphere. At the same time, high-end talents cannot move to their homes, and the employment problems of spouses and other family members are difficult to solve. In addition, the education and medical conditions in small counties are not as good as those in big cities.
In order to change this situation, Jiashan County seized the opportunity in the integrated development strategy of the Yangtze River Delta and invested 900 million yuan near Shanghai Hongqiao Transportation Hub. The first phase purchased 17,000 square meters, and the second phase purchased 17,000 square meters. Purchase more than 2,400 square meters and 190 parking spaces to build an all-round physical "enclave" for talents.
Zhang Runchun said that this "enclave" is positioned as a research and development center for Jiashan enterprises in Shanghai, a high-tech project incubation center, a high-end talent gathering center and a university innovation and entrepreneurship service demonstration center.
Working in an "enclave" in Shanghai can also enjoy Jiashan's inclusive talent policy
Although the construction of a talent "enclave" outside is not the first of its kind in Jiaxing, it is breaking through administrative barriers and ensuring " In terms of projects and talents in the "enclave" serving local industries and economic and social development, Jiaxing has taken the lead and made great efforts.
Zhang Runchun said that after inspecting the talent "enclaves" in some places, they found that it is easy to rent or buy office buildings and recruit projects to "fill the buildings", but the difficulty lies in integrating them with local industries.
Therefore, it is very important to have a good entrance to the talent “enclave” and screen the projects. Zhang Runchun said that Jiashan County’s “enclave” in Shanghai is not in a hurry to fill up its buildings, but instead focuses on the technological content and high-level talents of the projects settled there. Currently, there are 14 first-round incubation projects, 6 have settled in, and more than 80 talent projects are under negotiation.
The county has specially issued ten opinions on supporting talent "enclaves". The settled enterprises that meet the scope of support can enjoy a one-time start-up subsidy of up to 50,000 yuan three months after the actual business commencement. There is also a parking space subsidy. Enterprises settled in Jiashan enjoy 50% rent subsidy, and enterprises that settle in Jiashan and actually invest, pay taxes and attract talents will be given a maximum 100% rent award and a 100% tax payment local contribution award.
At the same time, Jiashan County has established an angel fund with an initial scale of 50 million yuan for this "enclave". The settled companies can receive up to 1.5 million yuan in subsidies, and an annual science and technology bank loan discount of up to 100,000 yuan. , innovation coupons of up to 300,000 yuan.
For full-time doctoral students working in companies settled in Jiashan, their social security payment years in Shanghai can be converted into the social security payment years in Jiashan, and they can apply for Jiashan talent housing vouchers with a face value of 500,000 yuan, etc.
An important prerequisite for enjoying these "enclave" policies is that the project must be implemented in Jiashan. Without output value taxation, you cannot get the policy. Zhang Runchun said that if it were not for the talent project settled in Jiashan, the office rent in the "enclave" would be 5 yuan/square meter per day. The high business costs would definitely make it difficult to stay, and they would move out in less than a year. This is what "flying" means. "Ground" market elimination mechanism.
“It doesn’t matter where the talents are, it’s important to contribute their talents and talents to Jiaxing.” Zhang Min, director of the Talent Division of the Organization Department of Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee, said that the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have changed their concepts, and the personnel and social security of high-end talents have changed. It doesn’t matter whether the relationship is transferred or not. As long as you work in the city’s projects and enterprises located in the talent “enclaves” of big cities, you can equally enjoy the inclusive policy treatment of local talents, such as housing purchases specifically for master’s and doctoral candidates. compensation etc.
This was impossible to achieve two or three years ago. Zhang Min said that in the past, many talent policies were bundled with household registration and social security, resulting in a very large talent pool. All types of talents, especially high-level talents, are highly exclusive and highly mobile. Only by proactively adapting to market changes can openness be more inclusive. Zhang Runchun also said that as long as talents have contributed to Jiaxing, they should enjoy inclusive policies, and it is normal for some talents to flow in the future. This is more conducive to attracting and retaining talents.
From underground to above ground, from domestic to foreign countries
Three and fourth-tier cities set up talent "enclaves" in big cities because they are afraid that big cities will misunderstand that they are here to "poach employees." Those who "robbed talents" were cautious at first and did not dare to speak out. Zhang Runchun said that after the Jiashan International (Shanghai) Innovation Center began to purchase properties in 2017, it did not say that it was an "enclave" for talents. It was not until the leaders of the Shanghai Hongqiao Business District Management Committee came to the site for investigation and approval that the brand was publicly displayed.
The same is true in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province. Previously, some counties, cities and companies would set up talent incubators around universities in the provincial capital. Since the beginning of this year, nine districts and cities including Jiaxing and Lishui have successively established talent “enclaves” in the Zhejiang Talent Building led by Zhejiang Province. Yuan Jiajun, Governor of Zhejiang Province, and Huang Jianfa, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, recently visited the Zhejiang Talent Building to investigate the important mission and role of talent "enclaves" in flexible talent introduction.
Hu Zhecheng from the Zhejiang Tsinghua Yangtze River Delta Research Institute Office said that the institute is headquartered in Nanhu District, Jiaxing City, and has established 8 offices in New York and Boston in the United States, Sydney in Australia, London in the United Kingdom, Munich and Frankfurt in Germany, etc. "Offshore incubator" cultivates and introduces more than 200 high-level overseas talent projects.
According to reports, Jiashan County has set up an international innovation center in the Netherlands, Shanghai Caohejing Development Zone has set up a development zone in Haining City, Zhejiang Province, and Jiaxing City has cooperated with the Talent Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee to build the Zhejiang Yangtze River Delta Talent Building to encourage And support Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui and other prefecture-level cities and counties to enter the city to attract talents. In addition, Quzhou City has set up a talent "enclave" in Hangzhou, Huzhou City has set up an "enclave" in Shanghai, and Yiwu City has set up an "enclave" in Beijing... The construction of various talent "enclaves" in third- and fourth-tier cities is proceeding underground. On the ground, it develops from one-way to two-way, from enterprise initiative to government guidance, and extends from domestic to foreign countries. There are self-owned and self-operated properties, leased properties, and cooperatively operated properties, in various forms and formats. increasingly diverse.
