Chapter 14 Chapter 4 One "Dragon" Twelve "Tigers", China ushers in a new richest man

It can be seen from the top ten list of "Top 100 Counties in China" since 2005 that all six counties (cities) of Suzhou are among them, while Kunshan, the "little eight son" of that year, topped the list and became one of the top ten counties in China's county-level units. richest man. What is the concept of "the richest man" in China's county-level units?Of course, the money is rich and the financial strength is strong!What kind of strong method?Zhang Guohua, secretary of the Kunshan Municipal Party Committee, introduced several national "firsts" to me: In 2007, Kunshan achieved a full-caliber fiscal revenue of 20 billion yuan, which is the first county (city) among county-level units in the country to break through this amount; The total economic development of Kunshan in the past five years is at the level of Suzhou (including six county-level cities and Suzhou City) in the previous five years. There is no doubt that the speed and quality of development in Kunshan is the first "gold medal" in Jiangsu. son".When Li Yuanchao was Secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, it was the initial stage and an important period for the whole party to study and implement the Scientific Outlook on Development. In half a year, he traveled to Kunshan as many as six times.

During the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in Beijing, General Secretary Hu Jintao participated in a symposium for the delegation of Jiangsu Province one day. After Liang Baohua, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, spoke, it was the turn of Zhang Guohua, Secretary of the Kunshan Municipal Party Committee to speak. When he talked about urbanization, Hu Jinzhu immediately "arrested" him. He asked, "Guohua, what is the degree of urbanization in your Kunshan?" Zhang Guohua, in addition to listing a series of data, said: "In our Kunshan, it is no longer easy to distinguish between urban and rural areas. The 'shadow of the knife' is no longer visible." General Secretary Hu Jintao appreciated this metaphor very much, saying: "Nowadays some cities are developing rapidly, but there is obviously a 'shadow of the knife' between urban and rural areas. There is no 'knife shadow' in Kunshan's urban and rural areas, which proves that the gap between urban and rural areas in Kunshan has basically eliminated, which is a sign, a scene of common development and common prosperity between urban and rural areas."

Historical development has never progressed according to the wishful thinking of "after the fact", so there are also differences between regions and countries in the same era, and this difference is usually worlds apart.However, when those who intend to take Kunshan as a teacher went deep into this boiling hot land, they found that Kunshan's high-speed and sustainable development depends not only on the establishment of a development zone. There is no doubt that Kunshan's development zone is the leader of Kunshan's economic development and modernization. When this leader is dancing, Kunshan presents a vibrant and radiant vitality.However, after wave after wave of investment rushes into the development zone, Kunshan people are soberly aware that the dancing of the leader alone is not the most perfect and exciting drama. "It can be wonderful.

Wu Kequan had already realized this idea when he was secretary, and began to implement a new strategy: take the development zone as the leader, and radiate to the surrounding towns and villages in an all-round way, so as to promote the overall economic improvement of the entire Kunshan region.And when such an idea was put into the decision-making and planning process, some people once doubted whether it was feasible.The reason is that no matter it was a self-financed development zone back then or the "National" brand development zone that has been approved now, its starting point is to rely on Shanghai to attract investment and plan for the world. Only such a "nest" has attracted Many domestic and foreign enterprises, including strong enterprises, have come to Kunshan to invest and start businesses.Today, if we want to sing a "big show" in line with globalization in the "farmland", it may not be a good thing (at that time, most of the surrounding areas of the Kunshan Development Zone were still in the state of "chicken and duck flocks" and "rice fragrance". This concern is understandable).Although after seven or eight years of painstaking efforts, Yushan Town, the old county seat, is almost as beautiful as the new town, and the "country folks" have begun to become more foreign, but those cadres in the development zone who are wearing suits often find that their trouser legs are stained. Soil, it’s no wonder that Shanghainese sometimes ridicule Kunshan people and say: Your development zone is doing well, but it smells like a dragon trapped on the beach. If the surrounding water doesn’t float, the dragon will die of thirst sooner or later.

The Shanghai people's joke reminded the Kunshan people: to make the "dragon" of the development zone really come alive, it must grow in the turbulent water.This "big water" is the development environment and atmosphere of the entire Kunshan... Someone asked Wu Kequan: "What's the deal?" "The old way. When we set up the self-financed development zone back then, didn't we enclose a piece of land from the center of the rice field! The key is to see if you are sincere and keep up with the planning and supporting facilities from a higher starting point." At this time, Wu Kequan , has commanded a guerrilla war with ease like a battle-tested marshal.

"Didn't Bingxi come up with some tricks? Go and summarize their experience." He instructed the relevant departments. Li Quanlin later took over as secretary of the Kunshan Municipal Party Committee. When he consulted the old secretary Wu Kequan, he also proposed how to continue to expand Kunshan's economic space beyond the development zone. Wu Kequan mentioned the "Bingxi Model" again. Bingxi is a small town below Kunshan, which is close to the development zone.On that day, Xuan Binglong took the new secretary Li Quanlin to the development zone for a tour. The two of them stood behind the vibrant development zone and in front of it was a vast military land. They talked a lot, and the more they talked, the more they gathered together. Together: The development of Kunshan should not only be within the development zone, but should extend to the surrounding "Great Kunshan".

"This is a good step, you and I have a meal." The new secretary Li Quanlin was very happy this day, and said that he would invite Xuan Binglong, the "big boss", for a meal in the evening. Is it the "wind" or is it catalyzed by consciousness?Anyway, just after the Spring Festival that year, a group of members of the Bingxi Town Party Committee sat together and had an unprecedented discussion.Hu Shouxuan, secretary of the town party committee, put a particularly acute question in front of all the party committee members: "Bingxi and the development zone are intertwined, why can the development zone be vigorously 'grow gold on the ground', but Bingxi is flat and 'no sound of water', Are we still in Kunshan?"

At the discussion meeting, it was said that the cadres were silent and blushed at first, and then "sweated", "We must fight with Xuan Binglong!" "Okay, you are determined to fight with me, Kunshan has even greater hopes!" Xuan Binglong is no longer the "Lu family development king" back then, he is now a veritable "Kunshan development king". "Little brother" competed with him, not only was he not angry, but beaming instead.He was very happy when Bingxi's party secretary, Hu Shouxuan, came to talk about "cooperation" with him.Xuan Binglong thought: I just talked with Secretary Li Quanlin, and you soldiers hope that you have a "conscious will" now, and this matter "coincides."

"How?" Hu Shouxuan asked Xuan Binglong for advice. Xuan Binglong thought for a while and said, "The two of us will set up a company." "Great." Hu Shouxuan clapped her hands in agreement.He thought to himself: Your Lao Xuan's development zone is a big ship, and we will have less risk and a greater chance of success if we sail alongside your big ship. Xuan Bing laughed heartily: Secretary Hu's ambitions have broad space. My development zone is not short of projects, but land. The company was established.Bingxi sent Huang Qin, the manager of the town industrial company, to concurrently serve as the manager of the cooperative company. "He announced that Master's development zone is taking the road of Kunshan developed at his own expense, and our company does the same, so our company doesn't ask the town for a penny!"

"Well!" The town leaders and Xuan Binglong both appreciated it very much. The first project introduced was an enterprise in Zhuhai.Bingxi was only responsible for building a factory for others, and then rented the factory to others, earning a net profit of 150,000 yuan.Although it is a small fight, it is the first time for a township to taste the sweetness. "One hundred acres of land is a bit small. Let's set aside one thousand acres of land!" On behalf of the town party committee, Hu Shouxuan told Huang Qin a decision of the new plan.The young man was very excited, saying that I must learn from Xuan Binglong's experience, so that Bingxi can also embark on a "small Kunshan road".

After Li Quanlin, secretary of the city, knew about this, he gave Bingxi his full support, and finally changed Bingxi's plan: two square kilometers. The young man was so excited that he was about to cry, and promised: "Don't do it, I am a turtle in Yangcheng Lake!" "Xiao Huang, where is your headquarters?" Secretary Li Quanlin asked Huang Qin when he came to Bingxi's small development zone one day. "I'm sorry, Secretary, I'm the only commander in command now, so I don't have half a house." The secretary of the municipal party committee smiled, and said in his heart: I am a bit like the old secretary Wu Kequan when he saw Xuan Binglong in those days... Huang Qin really took Xuan Binglong as an example, and first used the money he earned to lease the land to build roads, but it happened to encounter heavy rain, and the roadbed was washed away. The farmers saw it, and discussions were inevitable. But I still support Huang Qin in my heart.Hu Shouxuan, secretary of the town party committee, also brought cadres and the masses to help when she found out. The rush repair battle lasted until 1:40 in the morning... The success of the "Road to Kunshan" lies in the road, and there is gold in Kunshan.Huang Qin said so proudly.Someone joked: It's not gold, it's you Huang Qin! Huang Qinle said: It is my dream to turn "Huang Qin" into "gold". Opportunity came: In May 1993, the Singapore furniture industry and council investment delegation traveled from the north of China to the south, and finally arrived in Kunshan.These Singaporeans didn't even know that there was such a place as Kunshan in advance. They came here after hearing someone say that there is a national development zone in Kunshan.It was a rainy day, and Singaporeans were shaking their heads a bit when they got stuck on a muddy path somewhere in Kunshan.It is said that Kunshan is a rural area, how can it be a good place for investment? When Huang Qin found out, he was very anxious, as if he had lost face.Quickly invited the guests to Bingxi. It's not bad here!The Singapore guests were very happy walking on the brand new road of Bingxi. "This is basically the same as your Kunshan Development Zone." Although the guests said a lot of words of appreciation for Bingxi, they did not express whether they would invest.Huang Qin quickly called out the secretary Hu Shouxuan: "You have to come forward, we can't let the Singaporeans escape!" Hu Shouxuan was actually more nervous than Huang Qin. He knew that Xuan Binglong's "big boat" was standing next to him. Whether his Bingxi boat could carry Singaporeans was actually a very big problem, so he rushed to Huang Qin's place. The guests were received for more than two hours, and then there was a luncheon.To the great surprise of Singaporeans: each table meal is only 150 yuan.Compared with the "feast" of thousands of yuan or tens of thousands of yuan in other places, Bingxi people seem too stingy.However, this really made Singapore feel a kind of reality for Bingxi people. "We are willing to invest in a project with you." The Singaporean said before leaving. Two months later, 19 companies from Singapore jointly organized a "furniture city" in Bingxi. Bingxi won the first battle.The town party committee praised Huang Qin heavily. On the opening day of the "Furniture City", the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor all came, and Bingxi has since become an extension of the Kunshan Development Zone... "Comrades, Bingxi took advantage of the advantages of the development zone, and their construction has started. What should we do in Chengbei Town? Back then, Comrade Wang Jinhua, the old secretary, set up a township-level development zone for us. Now seven or eight years have passed, and we It's time to step up!" At this time, the secretary of the Chengbei Town Committee was Gao Xuekun, and he asked his subordinates such a serious question. "Chengbei can't make people laugh, it must catch up!" The result of the discussion is that Chengbei wants to catch up with Bingxi. In contrast, the north of the city has the best foundation for development, because Wang Jinhua, one of the "Kunshan Development Kings", started his business here. When he was sent here by the county as secretary in the mid-1980s, he took the lead in vigorously developing townships. The company built the first township-level "Torch Development Zone" in Jiangsu Province on a piece of "gut bottom depression", covering an area of ​​5.5 square kilometers, which is very impressive!It is second only to the self-funded development zone in Kunshan County that Wu Kequan originally set up.Also because of Wang Jinhua's superhuman development efforts, he was later transferred to a development zone in the county by Wu Kequan. In 1992, Wang Jinhua had been transferred to Suzhou City to develop a large development zone.Once the "first-mover advantage" of Chengbei people is reutilized, they will definitely win. In 1993, the boss of Taiwan Hon Hai Industrial Co., Ltd. Chairman Guo Taiming came to the north of the city to take a look: Fengshui here is so good! "I want this place!" Guo Taiming said happily. Foxconn Computer Plug-in Co., Ltd., which leased 500 mu of land and invested 35 million US dollars in the first phase, was settled in this way. "Serve Taiwanese businessmen well!" The cadres and the masses in Chengbei Town were working hard both openly and secretly. As a result, Guo Taiming leased another 1,000 mu of land in the second year and built the largest computer in Asia in the "Torch Development Zone" in the north of the city. Plug-in production base.After that, batches of foreign-funded enterprises settled down with Guo Taiming in the surrounding area... There is another wave of development in the north of the city. In 1994, it was officially approved by the state as a state-level Xinghuo Technology Development Zone. Comrade Song Jian, then State Councilor and Director of the State Science and Technology Commission, visited the north of the city in person. The north of the city has become another "Kunshan Tiger" that is eager to try and constantly create miracles next to the Kunshan Development Zone. The rise of Bingxi and the "little tigers" in the north of the city shocked other villages and towns in Kunshan. Zhengyi Town, which surrounds Yangcheng Lake, naturally refused to accept it. We, Zhengyi, can definitely do it.” Although Zhengyi Town is small, there are Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, National Highway 312 and Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway passing in parallel, plus the beautiful scenery of Yangcheng Lake. In the words of writer Yang Shousong—— — Zhengyi is like a yellow flower girl in a boudoir. Who and how the "Yellow Flower Girl" marries is a big question.The secretary of the town party committee is one of the few township secretaries who understands astronomy, geography, national and world history. He said that Zhengyi must develop, but Zhengyi's development path cannot be imitated by other places, let alone follow others blindly. The road to build a factory", which is equivalent to putting a dirty dress on a beautiful "yellow girl".Zhengyi wants to take the "fashionable road". Hey, what fashion law?Some people don't understand what Secretary Wang Guozhen is thinking. The opportunity has come.This opportunity appeared after Mr. Huang Yudian from the Singapore Happy Group came to Zhengyi. That day Wang Guozhen took Huang Yudian for a walk by Yangcheng Lake.The two didn't talk about the "project" at all, but enjoyed the lake view together. "It's beautiful. Don't you have a model play called "Shajiabang"? There seems to be a line in the lyrics, 'The reeds are blooming, the rice is fragrant, and the willows are walking along the bank...' I think it really lives up to its reputation." Mr. Huang Yudian greeted the slight breeze The breeze said with some intoxication. "If Mr. Huang likes this place, why not build a villa here?" Wang Guozhen tentatively asked. Huang Yudian smiled and didn't answer directly, but said: "It's a pity that I have such a good place all to myself." "This place is big, and you can build a villa without affecting the development here." Wang Guozhen said sincerely. "Then—can I buy 50 acres of land first?" "absolutely okay." "Haha..." The secretary of the town party committee and the big capitalist from Singapore shook hands on the edge of Yangcheng Lake to settle the matter. After Huang Yudian left, someone murmured to Wang Guozhen: Can you, party secretary, even talk about business?They didn't invest in us Zhengyi, but they gave them a good lakeside. "Don't worry, the fun is yet to come!" Wang Guozhen said confidently. Sure enough, Huang Yudian came again a few months later.This time, Huang Yudian told Wang Guozhen in the first sentence, "This place is so beautiful, I won't build my own villa. I want to build a resort here." Here comes the play.Wang Guozhen thought to himself: Isn't the project coming!He asked Huang Yudian how much land he wanted. "500 mu. Try it first, because you are a small rural town after all, and building a resort is still a bit risky. If my prediction is accurate, it will not be too late to plan for the second and third phases." Huang Yudian said. "Okay, sir, let's build a resort first." Wang Guozhen agreed. 500 mu of land is leased out, and someone will build the first resort in Kunshan here, which will have great commercial and investment significance.Zhengyi people saw this, so they were full of expectations for Mr. Huang Yudian. "I hope that you will provide appropriate infrastructure such as roads and bridges." Huang Yudian made a suggestion to Zhengyi people for the first time. "Please rest assured, Mr. Huang, we will definitely do a good job in this area." Wang Guozhen promised. Later, the construction of roads and bridges and other infrastructure in Zhengyi began to move rapidly, and experts were invited to design and build with a first-class construction team. "Okay. First-class infrastructure, first-class natural scenery, I have to change my investment intention again!" Huang Yudian is really a changeable person. When he came back to Zhengyi for the third time, he changed his investment intention again, but It's a change for the better and a bigger goal - he wants to build a big Shanghai golf course. "It's so close to Shanghai, it's the real back garden of Shanghai. It's absolutely justifiable to build a large Shanghai golf course!" This time it was Huang Yudian who excitedly said to Wang Guozhen. Kunshan to build a "Great Shanghai Golf Course"?Wonderful!So business-minded!A strong feeling of admiration surged in Wang Guozhen's heart. The one-time signing of the 3,000-acre lease is finalized in this way!Zhengyi's "Great Shanghai Golf Course Resort" project is equivalent to the settlement of ten or twenty foreign-funded enterprises. That's called greatness. The unhurried "hushang style" of Wang Guozhen and Zhengyi people has become more and more charming, and Huang Yudian's generous writing has not stopped.I heard that in order to make room for him a "beautiful and bright" land of lakes and waters, the people of Zhengyi did not hesitate to dismiss a businessman's 50 million investment. Later, I saw that Zhengyi specially planned to build a "Great Shanghai Golf Course Resort". A sewage treatment plant that is all treated by pipelines, moved, "I want another 3,000 mu of land!" Huang Yudian improved his investment intention for the fourth time. A total of 6,000 mu of land, Huang Yudian's group company purchased so much land in Zhengyi, it is definitely a big deal and a big production!Later, the "Great Shanghai Golf Course Resort" was built quickly, and a golf school, a chic lakeside club, and a five-star hotel were also built. Zhengyi suddenly "foreign" came home!The original "yellow flower girl" also suddenly became a wealthy lady. On the day when the golf course kicked off, Secretary Li Quanlin and other Kunshan leaders were present. "Zhengyi's good drive is the finishing touch in the history of Kunshan's development!" commented the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Kunshan gave birth to a "Little Tiger". The people of Zhangpu Town were worried when they saw the big projects in the neighboring towns and the frequent success of big deals.On this day, the mayor personally drove to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to pick up Mr. Lin Yujia, an 80-year-old Taiwanese businessman and chairman of "Taiwan Glass". "You can get to Zhangpu in one hour." Before Lin Yujia went to Zhangpu, Zhangpu people told him so.Now quietly looking at the watch, wanting to test the truth of Zhang Puren's words. The mayor drove very steadily, and from time to time he introduced some things about Zhangpu and Kunshan in a timely manner, which made Mr. Lin Yujia very satisfied and appreciated. An hour and 5 minutes earlier arrived in Zhangpu.When Lin Yujia set foot on the land of Zhangpu, she was especially moved when she saw the secretary of the town party committee who was waiting for him on the spot. In this way, "China Changjiang Float Glass Co., Ltd.", which invested US$90 million in the first phase, settled here. Zhangpu Town has become another "little tiger" in Kunshan because of the appearance of a "Taiwan Glass" giant. Later, with Taiwan's "Father of Industry" Wang Yongqing's "Formosa Plastics", Taiwan's Baocheng Group's four Cai brothers and Japan's "Toyota", etc., towns such as Bacheng, Zhoushi, Yushan and Dianshan Lake were all one. One of them became the "Kunshan Little Tiger". "Guo" brand name development zone, plus 12 "little tigers" - Kunshan named these "little tigers" "Kunshan Development Zone Supporting Industrial Zone". It really shows the momentum of leaping dragons and leaping tigers. There are two "folk legends" that are very interesting: One is about Zhang Weiguo, the current secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, who visited Wang Yongqing in Taiwan that year. Both the old and the young are "Chinese dragons" born in the Year of the Dragon, with a 48-year age difference, and they talked so harmoniously and cordially.Later, Wang Yongqing decided to settle "Formosa Plastics" in Kunshan because of Zhang Weiguo, a young and promising "Kunshan dragon". "You and I are two dragons together, and there will be a good show of 'Dancing Dragons' in Kunshan!" Old Mr. Wang Yongqing held the hand of young Zhang Weiguo, feeling very relieved. The second one tells the story of the four Cai brothers of Baocheng Group.The four Cai brothers have been starting a business in Dongguan, and later moved to Kunshan to establish "Longteng Company".On the night of the establishment of the company, the four brothers played cards together. The first deck of cards was touched. The four brothers were extremely surprised and pleasantly surprised: the thirteen cards in the hands of the four were all neatly arranged from A to old K. A "dragon"!There are dragons in Kunshan!Kunshan Dragon!Kunshan can also turn insects into dragons!The four Cai brothers shouted in unison, stunned. Kunshan has really become the leading Chinese dragon in the 30 years of China's reform and opening up. This dragon has allowed 1.3 billion Chinese people, especially 900 million Chinese farmers, to see what real modernization with Chinese characteristics looks like, and a real moderately prosperous society in China. what it looks like.
