Chapter 19 Chapter 17 Do it yourself, it's better

I met Wang Jinhua in the summer of 2008. He is now the chairman of the Suzhou CPPCC after he left his job in the development zone and park for many years. A demobilized soldier who used to be an excellent scout, in the tide of reform and opening up, in accordance with Deng Xiaoping's spirit of "development is the last word", "Wang Daudao", who broke through the "Kunshan Road" with Wu Kequan and others, was able to sit in the famous city Until becoming the chairman of the Suzhou CPPCC, this is something that Wang Jinhua never thought about 30 years ago, but history has created a new generation of Suzhou people in this way.

Wang Jinhua is a charming and decisive person who can be felt at a glance. Every cell and appearance of him is full of "dare" and aggressiveness.Five or six years of experience in the "self-financed development zone" in Kunshan has tempered his daring and aggressiveness; ten years of world competition in the high-tech zone has made him a warrior galloping in the international business world.Due to an accidental and expected China-Singapore cooperation dispute, he, an opponent who was "hated" by Singaporeans, became the "top leader" in charge of Suzhou Industrial Park so interestingly.

As the director of the Industrial Park Management Committee of the China-Singapore cooperation project, when Wang Jinhua stood on the bank of Jinji Lake for the first time and looked at this half-constructed international large-scale project facing the wide lake, many thoughts arose in his heart: China is a country of development. In China, the world economy is changing with each passing day, presenting a situation of globalization and world integration.Suzhou Park has grafted and transplanted the most advanced management model in the world—Singapore software. Now it is up to us Suzhou people to undertake the construction and operation of this "aircraft carrier" with a planned investment of nearly 100 billion US dollars. Do we have the ability?Can it be successfully achieved in accordance with the goals set by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew?

"At that time, I was very sure that it was completely possible. We Chinese, especially us Suzhou people, are not stupid than others. The reason why we did not develop as fast as others in the past was because the policy was not right, and the second was because we were poor in China. But after more than ten years of reform and opening up, Suzhou, like us, already has a certain economic strength, and we have also made a fortune in the international economic tide, with the help of experienced teachers like Singapore, I am very confident that we can do a good job, or can do a better job. Because we are locals and adapt to the local environment." Wang Jinhua revealed to me his initial thoughts when he took over the park.

"But we did feel pressure and difficulties at that time." Wang Jinhua said: According to the Sino-Singapore "Memorandum of Understanding", from January 1, 2001, the management power of the park belongs to the Chinese side, and at this time the Chinese side has already occupied the 65% of the major shareholders, that is to say, from now on, Suzhou people will bear 65% of the risks and responsibilities for the success or failure of the park. "Compared with Singapore, there is still a big gap in the strength of our Suzhou. Whether we can build the park well will not only affect the image of Suzhou, but also the image of our country. It was a painstaking effort. At the end of 2000, when we were discussing the new year's investment and development plan, we came up with a plan of 2 billion to 3 billion. The person in charge of finance said, you are talking on paper. He asked me where is the money? When I checked the accounts of the park at that time, I was really shocked: the whole park had a debt of 1.8 billion yuan, the interest alone reached 400 million yuan, and the repayment in the next year was 1.2 billion yuan. It is such a stall, no wonder Singaporeans It’s a bit overwhelming... But we have no way out. Now that we have taken on the burden, we have to pick it up, and we have to move forward. So when I first came to the park, I invited the bank bosses to dinner one by one, and let their subordinates Be merciful, don't force me to repay the debt. They finally gave me some face and said that the repayment can be postponed, but in the new year you can only borrow for a short term, and you have to repay it in 9 months. What can I do? I can only Thank you with a smiling face, because without the support of the bank, our park would have gone bankrupt... When I left the park 8 years later, I already had 80 billion state-owned assets. Last year, the park’s full-scale fiscal and tax revenue reached 20 billion yuan.”

During the "Eight Years of Anti-Japanese War", from serious debts to an annual revenue of 20 billion yuan, this is the development of the Suzhou Industrial Park after Wang Jinhua and other Suzhou people took over. At the beginning of his tenure, the classic routine Wang Jinhua used was still his unique trick for attracting investment.The survival and development of the park depend on attracting golden phoenixes from their nests.Without the settlement of the Golden Phoenix, no matter how beautiful or beautiful the geomantic land is, it will only end up as dry grass and barren land.

The reason why Singaporeans can make a small island country prosperous and prosperous is that they have a set of international-level investment skills.Their "China Merchants Bureau" is a department that is unique and capable, with a group of elites. "Vice Premier Li, anyway, the park belongs to our two countries. You must help us attract business. I have always admired your country's experience in this area." Take him to the airport.When the two sat in the car together, Wang Jinhua made a request to Lee Hsien Loong. Lee Hsien Loong is a new generation leader in Singapore, and he naturally has the demeanor of everyone. He smiled and nodded in agreement, "No problem."

"Tell me a more specific plan." Lee Hsien Loong asked Wang Jinhua to talk about his ideas. "The Economic Development Bureau of your country has offices all over the world. I would like to send a few people to your US office as interns. I will pay for it." Wang Jinhua proposed. Lee Hsien Loong turned his head to look at Wang Jinhua, and thought: This man is unusual, he is trying to learn the secrets of Singapore's experience with this trick!So he smiled and said, "I have no problem here." Wang Jinhua thanked repeatedly very gratefully.But Wang Jinhua was overjoyed. Not long after Lee Hsien Loong returned to China, the Singaporean side replied that it was difficult to handle.Apparently people think it's inappropriate to do so, and they have concerns in their hearts.However, the Singaporean side is still very generous in helping the Chinese side to train talents. It has taken the initiative to accept batch after batch of high-level and highly educated management talents sent by Suzhou. critical use.

"Let's set up a China Merchants Bureau and do it ourselves!" Wang Jinhua is a character who becomes more vigorous as he encounters challenges. He doesn't believe that Suzhou people can't do the same thing by themselves. "The operation of the development zone requires not only macro thinking, but also micro means and tactics. This is the soft skill of people. The outstanding point of Singapore's software experience is their standardized, scientific, procedural and high-level management. The advantage of our Suzhou people is that we have a group of people who love to learn, are good at pondering, and can explore and advance from practice, so we quickly explored a set of investment experience with the characteristics of Suzhou people, which is mainly reflected in our consistent Ruyi’s pro-business concept. Pro-business is not a simple concept. It includes how to achieve business security so that investors can stay in Suzhou; it includes how to become rich businessmen. The whole purpose of businessmen is the development of enterprises. and making money, creating an environment and conditions for investors to create wealth; being pro-business also includes respecting business, that is, respecting the awareness and behavior of investors, and we must be sincere when they make money or all reasonable practices and requirements in making money to help them solve the problem in a timely manner, so that they feel a sense of security and reassurance; the essence of pro-business lies in being able to retain investors, allowing them to take root, blossom, and bear fruit on our land and in our parks, and to reproduce and grow forever. Going on, this is the whole connotation of being pro-business.”

In the process of transplanting Singaporean experience, Wang Jinhua and his colleagues combined Suzhou's traditional virtues of advocating culture and respecting guests, and successively compiled 68 new management methods and implementation rules that are both in line with international standards and operable. The characteristics of large public services are widely praised by investors: 1. Efficient service, "small government, big society", everything that can be handed over to the intermediary agency and handed over to the society must be handed over; 2. Transparent service, the whole process of handling affairs is open;

3. Fair service and treat all investors equally; 4. Standardize services and strive to create favorable conditions for all enterprises and individuals to compete fairly within the scope of the law. Now in the government administrative buildings all over China, we often see a kind of "one-stop" service, that is, many government or management departments and approval agencies are put together to work together, and what enterprises or citizens need to handle can be processed here. It seems to be done at one time, so it is commonly known as "one-stop" service.This simple and convenient way of handling government affairs was first implemented in Suzhou Industrial Park in China, and was later widely promoted and learned by government agencies around the world.Its advantage is that it has changed the bureaucratic work style of Chinese government agencies in the past. An approval procedure required dozens of rubber stamps and took dozens of days or even years. The "one-stop" service is as simple as one hour or tens of minutes to get things done.Of course, things like business and foreign investment are more complicated, but due to the implementation of the "one-stop" service in Suzhou Industrial Park, most businesses can be handled immediately, and one-third of the more difficult businesses can also be handled within 2-3 days. It will be completed within working days, and the most complicated business will not exceed 7 working days.In addition to saving a lot of time in the economic activities of enterprises where "time is money", it can also effectively improve the image of "clean and self-disciplined" of the staff. The efficient "service" of the park is not only reflected in the simple and convenient "one-stop" service, but also reflected in the continuous innovation and continuous innovation of the system and mechanism, which further strengthens the efficient and fast personality and functions of the park. A staff member of the park told me that at a recent auto exhibition held by hundreds of companies, the deputy director of the District Management Committee Office spent one morning negotiating all matters on behalf of the park and related companies. He did not ask any park leaders for specific questions. "The auto exhibition involves site requisition, capital investment, profit distribution, etc. These things are complicated and sensitive. Can a deputy director of the office make decisions?" I asked with some doubts. The comrades in the park nodded very naturally, and said: "Yes! The answer is very simple. When negotiating with enterprises, the person in charge only needs to prepare relevant policies, regulations and other documents and hand them over to them. It is the 'leader' of the park. This is also the case.” It turns out that the various management measures and implementation rules compiled by the park clearly stipulate how to deal with various problems.Regardless of whether you are the "top leader" or an ordinary worker, as long as the policy allows, you can "have the final say" on behalf of the government. "The management committee of the park regularly visits the enterprises to truly provide services. In many areas of the country, government agencies give investors the impression that the word 'management' comes first, and investors must visit the management department in person if they want to do something. But In the Suzhou Industrial Park, the management committee put down its airs and visited the enterprises regularly to discover the difficulties encountered by the enterprises in a timely manner and collect opinions and suggestions from the enterprises on the work of the management committee. For example, during the "SARS" epidemic in 2003, the government ordered to stop Various job fairs, and at this time many companies in our park are facing the situation that they cannot recruit people or the recruited people cannot come to work in Suzhou on time. After Wang Jinhua and other management committee leaders learned of this situation, they immediately decided to put some newly built The factory buildings were transformed into dormitories, and the foreign personnel recruited by these enterprises were concentrated in these dormitories for ten days of isolation and observation, and board and lodging were provided free of charge. During this period, the enterprises sent backbones to these personnel for pre-job training. Those who did not have fever and fever symptoms, Immediately after the quarantine period, they started working immediately. At the same time, the staff of the management committee stayed in various dormitory areas to solve the difficulties of these foreigners. This measure not only solved the "urgent need" of the enterprise, but also made many foreign investors pay attention to China The government has a new understanding of the ability to deal with emergencies, which will add color to our park's investment attraction..." People in the park will feel that when they talk about their advanced management mode in terms of pro-business and services, and their sense of ownership A kind of pride. Pro-business is easy to say, but it will encounter various problems in practice, sometimes contradicting and conflicting with China's national conditions and social conditions.How to deal with it in Suzhou Park?The author hopes to have a deeper understanding of this.Park managers blurted out to me that such incidents abound.For example, there is a Taiwan-funded enterprise in the park, which is unwilling to provide reports like other enterprises. It believes that the government does not need to control the operation of the enterprise. If the enterprise operates well, it will continue to operate; It doesn't matter.Moreover, providing reports by enterprises may reveal commercial secrets.After analysis and discussion, the management committee of the park decided to accept the suggestion of the Taiwanese businessmen, and from now on will treat those foreign-funded enterprises that do not want to provide operating reports without discrimination. "This is a good example of the pro-business sincerity of the managers of the Suzhou Park. The more they behave like this, the more we will act in accordance with the law." A Taiwanese businessman said with satisfaction. One of the charms of oriental culture is to treat each other with sincerity.Those who are sincere can treat each other with sincerity, and economic work is no exception. When I was interviewing in the park that day, I particularly noticed a unique facility - the "Neighborhood Center". "What is this for?" Curious about me, the staff in the park called a foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes and said, "He is a Dutch employee of the SRAM car material company. Robert Von Sprang, please tell him." "Hello, Nong. Is Nong from Suzhou?" When Sprang stretched out his hand to me, he said a standard Suzhou dialect, which surprised me a lot.He said that he settled in the park more than a year ago, and he told me that the "neighborhood center" in the park is a good idea, because it can meet the daily needs of the surrounding residents.There are supermarkets, post offices, banks, clinics, restaurants, bars, laundry rooms, beauty salons, pharmacies, stationery stores, repair shops and other 12 facilities with complete functions, and many staff can communicate in English.Therefore, foreigners who are not familiar with the place where they live can get "one-stop" services for life here, without "changing a place with a shot". "It's always comfortable to come here." Sprang happily took me into a spacious and well-equipped fitness room in the "Neighborhood Center". He took off his coat, revealing his strong body, and boarded a fitness machine , Started the "fitness program" that must be done every day. According to Yu Zhou, the general manager of the "Neighborhood Center", there are now seven "Neighborhood Center" buildings with a size of 10,000 to 20,000 square meters in the park, and eventually more than 10 such "Neighborhood Centers" will be built in the entire park.There are corresponding supporting facilities around the residential buildings of each "neighborhood center". Feel the convenience and comfort of life. "The 'Neighborhood Center' in our park is now very well-known throughout the country. In February 2006, it was among the first batch of 'National Community Business Demonstration' units." It has blossomed all over the country, as far as Tongliao in Inner Mongolia, Xining in Qinghai, and nearly ten provinces and cities such as Wenzhou in Zhejiang, Nanjing in Jiangsu, and Yangzhou..." "Outside, attracting investment depends on softness and toughness, and smiles, but at home, rivets on stone slabs are head-to-head." Wang Jinhua led a group of "Suzhou fellow villagers", many of whom were farmers who had planted seedlings and picked river mud. At the same time, they recruited a large number of senior workers from all over the world. Talented, local and foreign management and investment promotion teams have made the park flourish in the years after the new century.Coupled with the great time when China joined the WTO, foreign corporate investors flocked to China.To make a fortune in China, the picturesque Suzhou Industrial Park has almost become the first choice naturally. Take Wang Jinhua for example, the three characters in his name seem to be closely connected with doing business, doing business, and making money, and they are inseparable.In the Suzhou dialect of my hometown, "Huang" and "Wang" are not distinguished, and they have one pronunciation. "Wang" means "Huang", and "Wang Jinhua" means "Golden Flower".This gold-painted China is what Wang Jinhua is destined to fight for. If he can't do it well, his ancestors will not forgive him, let alone the six million Suzhou fathers and villagers.This is a joke.In fact, Wang Jinhua has a strong desire in his heart: when he started the Kunshan "self-financed development zone", some people said he was engaging in capitalism and disrupting the country's economy; Threatened to make him "distressed" - to his some poignancy, the words came from the Suzhou Industrial Park in the same city.After the conflict between China and New Zealand appeared in the cooperation, he was recruited as a "debt repayer" by "turning an enemy into a friend".This seems to be a bit ugly to say, but it was indeed the case in the past one or two years.But what Wang Jinhua swore to the municipal party committee and the municipal government is: Do it yourself, and do it well! The meaning is very clear: the Suzhou Industrial Park, which is attracting worldwide attention, is in front of us Chinese and Suzhou people. Whether we have the ability to start and manage this "economic aircraft carrier" is not only related to the face of Suzhou people, but also related to the Chinese people. face. When it comes to face, Suzhou people can fight to defend it.Wang Jinhua is no exception.He said to all the staff in the park: We should learn from the "teacher" Singapore, but now the "master" wants us to fly alone, what do we rely on?Courage is naturally indispensable, as is the master's experience, but it is not enough to have courage and rely on reference. Wisdom must be added before courage, and innovation must be sought after reference, so that we can stand at the forefront of the world's economic competition to fight and acquire Advantage. Unremitting pursuit, seeking a win-win situation, striving for perfection.Wang Jinhua and his team have clear and firm thinking, coupled with a diligent and meticulous style of work, and the golden signboard of Suzhou in the rear, they have launched one after another effective measures to benefit Ze, so the park attracts investment like a fish in water, and the financial resources are booming come...

From the records above, it can be seen that on the land of Suzhou Industrial Park, almost every few days, one or even several enterprises or colleges settle here.Why are there so many "phoenixes" nesting here?That's because Wang Jinhua and his team have crafted every detail of this hot land of Jinji Lake to be incomparable and radiant, which fascinates all the rich businessmen and intellectual elites who want to invest and start businesses in China. Successful in the first battle, Suzhou people held an excellent report card with a broad mind. On January 15 of the following year, Chen Deming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was the head of the group, and Mayor Yang Weize was the deputy head of the group. The Suzhou City Visiting Delegation, composed of Director Wang Jinhua and other relevant persons in charge, set off for a 6-day visit in Singapore and briefed Lee Kuan Yew and other Singaporean leaders on the work of the park in 2001 and plans for the new year.Lee Kuan Yew was very happy to host a banquet for Suzhou guests, and praised: "Suzhou people have done better than us!" Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew also said affectionately that he has been to China more than 20 times and has always believed that China has great potential for development.Especially now that China has joined the World Trade Organization, there are many things to do.He expressed his belief that China will be able to overcome the difficulties in progress and do a better job in China's construction.Lee Kuan Yew particularly hoped that Suzhou would do a good job in environmental construction and create a more beautiful environment for tourists.Singaporean President Nathan also met Chen Deming and his party cordially at the Presidential Palace. The President happily recalled the good impression left by his visit to Suzhou Industrial Park the previous year.He was pleased with the outstanding achievements of the park, and he was gratified that the park has made good progress by learning from Singapore's experience.President Nathan said that Singapore and China should continue to develop mutual cooperation, and Singapore and Suzhou should also develop mutual cooperation.He expressed the hope that Suzhou will not only attract foreign investment, but also go out to develop, find more cooperation methods and opportunities, and explore development opportunities in Singapore. The masterpiece of the Suzhou Song and Dance Troupe brought by Suzhou people—the four-act large-scale dance drama "Gan Jiang and Mo Xie" was performed at the National Jialong Theater in Singapore.Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife and other Singaporean dignitaries attended and watched. The Jialong Theater with more than 1,700 seats was packed that night, and there were many stormy applause in the venue.The atmosphere of the guests and hosts of China and New Zealand was warm and friendly. The trip to Singapore received good comments from the "master", which made Wang Jinhua and other Suzhou people feel very relieved. In 2002, in accordance with the instructions of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, especially inspired by the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and taking advantage of the strong wind of China's entry into the WTO, the park continued to focus on attracting investment, and at the same time highlighted the basic construction of the park , which made the work of the park fully blossom and bear fruit this year, and guests from home and abroad came in droves. It is worth mentioning that this year Wang Jinhua asked the park to pay attention to the strategic deployment of Taiwanese enterprises entering the park. On January 21st and 22nd, well-known Taiwanese entrepreneurs Jiao Tingbiao, Zhang Zhongmou, Zeng Fancheng and Xuan Mingzhi visited the park. Just after the investment negotiations were completed, the park management committee and CSSD sent a delegation to Baodao for investigation and investment. The delegation hereby Visited a group of potential merchants and held a briefing on the situation of the park. At the beginning of March, Wang Jinhua just packed up his suitcase and led a delegation to the United States and Japan to attract investment as soon as he had arranged all the work at the beginning of the new year; in April, the management committee of the park and CSSD went to Europe to attract investment. At the same time, the park management committee and CSSD's investment promotion missions in South Korea succeeded again and again... In May, Wang Jinhua led a delegation to the mainland of Singapore, where they launched a round of vigorous investment promotion activities, and the results were equally impressive. "Where is the growth point of the park's development and economy? The primary stage and the intermediate stage must be in attracting investment, so the starting point and goal of all our work in the park should focus on this key point." It is said that "development king" Wang Jinhua Knowing how to grab money, he himself said: "If you can't catch money, the key is whether you can recruit customers who come to invest." This year, Wang Jinhua personally led a delegation to foreign investment for 4 times.It can be seen from this how the "top leader" of the park, which manages a lot of things, attaches great importance to the work of attracting investment. In the first half of 2002, Suzhou Industrial Park introduced contractual foreign capital of US$1.1 billion, and actually received foreign capital of US$410 million, a year-on-year increase of 47% and 40% respectively; achieved GDP of 12.2 billion yuan, fiscal revenue of 1.65 billion yuan, and total import and export volume of 2.3 billion US dollars , of which the export was US$1.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 30%, 50%, 21%, and 22% respectively. This year, Fairchild Semiconductor (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Maxtor Group and National Semiconductor Corporation of the United States, Schneider (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., which invested more than 200 million US dollars, and Jiasheng Semiconductor Company, Taiwan Hua Paper Packaging (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., the second research and development base of Panasonic in China - Panasonic Research and Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., and Asahi Kasei, which is also one of the top 500 companies in the world, and Qihang Superconductor Famous companies such as Maglev Railway (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and Hong Kong Hongyun Enterprise Co., Ltd. have settled in Suzhou Industrial Park. This year, another "doctoral supervisor" with a scholar background became the secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee. He is the current Secretary of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee Wang Min. Wang Min, who was the Secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee at the time, chose the park as the first research object of "going down" after arriving in Suzhou.It was raining heavily that day. Accompanied by the young mayor Yang Weize, he went to the park for investigation and emphasized that it is necessary to further emancipate the mind, invigorate the spirit, seize opportunities, develop and innovate, and strive to build Suzhou Industrial Park into a world-class development zone as soon as possible. The concept of "world-class" has been deeply rooted in the park since then. "This is also the beginning of an era when our Suzhou Industrial Park bid farewell to the start-up stage and turned to show its true level." Wang Jinhua commented on this historic turning point. On December 30 of this year, the park held an enlarged meeting of the working committee. Wang Jinhua, the secretary of the working committee and director of the management committee, stood on the rostrum and made a speech titled "Advancing with the Times, Striving for the Advanced, and Fighting for the New Three-Year General War" "Critical Battle" report, this passionate "development king" stood up from his chair several times, and said to his comrades in a special tenor voice: "In the past, the Suzhou Park was our masters in Singapore who brought innovation We have come out. Now we are out of the teacher! The apprentice is out of the teacher, what to do, what to do, it is all up to us! Secretary Wang Min of the Municipal Party Committee asked us to build an "international first-class" park, and this is our goal. "International first-class" What is the concept? That is not the general level, but the best and most developed level in the world today. Do we Suzhou people have this ability? What do you think?" At this time, the audience was silent. "Tell me, do we have this ability?" Wang Jinhua's sharp gaze was aimed at everyone in the audience. "Have--" "Yes..." The voice was scattered and uneven. "Is there any?" Wang Jinhua got angry and doubled his voice. "Yes!—" The audience was shocked. So, Wang Jinhua had a happy and honest smile on his face... As a result, Jinji Lake has set off a higher wave of development since then... 2003 was a year of historic significance for the park and Wang Jinhua's team.This year, due to the "SARS" epidemic in China, the national investment environment is the worst and most difficult since the Asian financial crisis.However, the Suzhou Industrial Park, which relies on an export-oriented economy as its support point, is thriving. Not only has it not been too much affected by the epidemic, but it has attracted a greater share of foreign investment and achieved comprehensive development.The quantity and quality of the foreign capital introduced have been greatly improved, and CSSD, which was taken over from Xinfang, also turned losses into profits for the first time this year. dividends.This is of great symbolic significance to all the consortiums involved in the investment in the park. "I said this person will definitely do a better job than us!" Lee Kuan Yew was very happy when he heard the news reported by Wu Tianren, the new vice president of CSSD. "I was appointed to work in CSSD in 2003. In recent years, the park has been moving forward step by step according to our expected plan, and the speed is faster than expected. As the vice president of CSSD assigned by the new party, I often ask When I go to various countries in the world, when I meet the bosses of foreign companies, they always say: When I visit the Suzhou Industrial Park, I feel like I have come to Singapore. More people say that after going to the Suzhou Industrial Park, I don’t need to go to Singapore anymore, because Suzhou Park is even better than Singapore. This shows that we were completely correct in the software cooperation with China at that time. Now I return to Singapore as a business trip, and the drivers will tell me when I get there that they all know that Suzhou Park is very good. I am also very proud to tell them that my current home is in Suzhou, where the air is very good and the scenery is even more beautiful. Suzhou people seized the opportunity and quickly attacked after joining the WTO, attracting a large amount of foreign investment. Therefore, since 2001, the park has developed by leaps and bounds, and the profitability of our CSSD is even more gratifying. Although our new party is not a major shareholder now, the park was established by both China and Singapore. , its success is much more important than just making money, because in addition to having a closer relationship with China, we have the successful experience of Suzhou Industrial Park, which enables Singapore to obtain more cooperation opportunities in other parts of the world. But I still want to reiterate: So far, in the cooperation between Singapore and other countries in the world, the Suzhou Industrial Park is the most successful. This situation is estimated to be difficult to change in a few years..." Mr. Wu Tianren, a young and capable man who speaks fluent Chinese When he shook hands with me and said goodbye, he added this sentence, "We are already a family, so I am more happy than anyone else to see the prosperity of Suzhou Industrial Park." Full of goodwill. The development of the park has become a unique and dazzling city card of Suzhou. She has made Suzhou, which used to be a "little bridge and flowing water", grow from a small family of jaspers to a "great lady" who illuminates the world.In recent years, while continuing to increase investment attraction, the park has vigorously strengthened the construction of high-tech and cutting-edge technology.In the words of Ma Minglong, the current member of the Standing Committee of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Industrial Park Working Committee, "Nowadays, investment projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars are no longer our 'excitement', but to see how much technological content the invested companies have." This is also the original idea of ​​Suzhou people insisting on building the park according to the concept of scientific development concept after becoming the major shareholder.Since 2001, they have paid great attention to the industrial transformation of the park, turning the world's "manufacturing center" into a world's technology "R&D center" and technology business incubator. Several Opinions", "Implementation Rules on Encouraging the Development of Software and Integrated Circuit Design Enterprises in Suzhou Industrial Park", "Several Opinions on Encouraging Foreign Multinational Corporations to Establish Regional Headquarters in Suzhou Industrial Park" and "On Encouraging the Establishment of Science and Technology Research Enterprises in Suzhou Industrial Park" "Several Opinions of Development Agencies" and other regulations and incentive mechanisms. Subsequently, Suzhou Industrial Park International Science and Technology Park officially opened. In March and May of 2004, Party General Secretary and State President Hu Jintao and State Council Premier Wen Jiabao successively visited Suzhou Industrial Park to inspect the International Science and Technology Park.In September of this year, Suzhou Industrial Park was officially recognized by the Ministry of Science and Technology as the "National Torch Program Software Industry Base", and was also listed as one of the first nine national electronic information industry bases by the Ministry of Information Industry. In March 2005, the park and the International Science and Technology Park were recognized as "China's European and American software export pilot bases".In May of the same year, the park became the first batch of national integrated circuit industrial parks. 6月，国家广电总局认定苏州工业园区国际科技园为“国家动漫产业基地”。 9月，再认定其为“国家火炬计划汽车零部件产业基地”。 11月，俗称“天使基金”的苏州工业园区软件和集成电路设计产业发展基金规模增加到2亿元，同时成立苏州工业园区生物纳米科技发展基金。 2006年3月22日，生物纳米园、创意产业园正式开建。国内第一个创业投资引导基金也在苏州工业园区设立，首期总额达10亿元。 2006年3月，苏州工业园区科技创新大会召开，再次出台了《关于增强自主创新能力、建设创新型园区的决定》和《苏州工业园区引进高层次人才和紧缺人才试行办法》等新政策。2006年4月16日，位于苏州工业园区北部的中新科技城开工。同月，国家知识产权局正式批准苏州工业园区为“国家知识产权试点园区”，这是目前江苏省惟一的国家知识产权试点园区。5月24日，落户园区国际科技园的新电信息科技（苏州）有限公司正式通过了软件企业能力成熟度最高级别CMMI 5级的认证，成为苏州市第一家、江苏省第二家通过此项认证的软件企业。8月24日，苏州工业园区中国新加坡联合协调理事会第八次会议在北京举行，会议提出尽早把苏州工业园区建成一个最具国际竞争力的高科技工业园区，科技部正式成为中方理事单位。9月18日，中国科学院、江苏省政府、苏州市政府在苏州工业园区共同签署了共建中国科学院苏州纳米技术与纳米仿生研究所协议，这是苏州市首个国家级研究机构，总投资达5亿元。这年12月，财政部、国家税务总局、商务部、科技部确立在苏州工业园区进行鼓励技术先进型服务企业发展试点工作，列入试点的企业将获得优于现有高新技术企业的税收优惠政策。 “'有所为、有所不为'，是我们园区发展高新技术产业的一个重要原则。近年来，园区坚持整体推进与重点突破相结合，不断做大IC设计、软件外包、嵌入式软件研发、动画影视、生物医药、纳米技术等对区域发展有战略意义的科技产业。……”园区科技发展局局长张东驰介绍说。 进入2007年后，园区推进科技创新的力度更如长江后浪推前浪。3月7日，《苏州工业园区鼓励科技领军人才创业工程实施意见》正式出台。这项《实施意见》规定，凡经园区管委会评审合格后，单个企业可获2000万元左右资金支持。与此同时，园区还相应建立了1亿元创投风险贴补基金，专项用于创业风险跟进投资，使科技创新型人才及研发机构有了更大的投资积极性。此项政策一出台，惹得世界各地的那些热心科技创造发明者和投资家心旌鼓荡，纷纷涌向美丽的姑苏城东那个金鸡湖畔。 “我们的'重磅炸弹'投出一年，引来400个科技创新创业项目落户园区，这就是效益和成果。” 我想用一个最简单和直观的办法去理解园区的科技景象，于是奔攀到园区管委会的那幢大楼的18层楼道处，然后再举目远望——哈，这回园区的所有美景尽收眼底，那鳞次栉比的高楼大厦，那湖光水色间的科技园、生物纳米园，还有簇拥在花丛中的“研发中心”与高校实验楼，奇妙而绚丽，神秘而璀璨……呵，这就是我的故乡新貌，她正从雄伟的“制造城”迈向多姿多彩的“科技城”、“生态城”、“大学城”……人间天堂的一切美丽尽在此实现。 漫步金鸡湖畔，置身绿地碧波之间，眺望巍巍高楼与缤纷花园组成的画卷般的园区，我常常会联想到北京奥运会开幕式的那幅梦幻般的山水画，我甚至怀疑张艺谋是否“窃用”了苏州工业园区的许多“苏州元素”。张艺谋没有向公众说过这样的话，但作为苏州人，我在奥运会现场的直观联想，无法阻挡我的这种肯定。北京奥运会的开幕式，以东方式的文化和现代高科技及艺术表现形式的完美结合，使全世界为之倾倒。而另一幅永恒的画卷——苏州工业园区的实景早已倾倒了所有去过那儿的世界各国政要和客人们。 德国前总理科尔有一次应李光耀之邀来到苏州，当科尔参观美丽如画、蒸蒸日上的工业园区后万分惊诧地问李光耀：“仅用了十年就建成这个样？” 李光耀肯定地说：“是十年！” “太了不起了！”科尔拍手赞道，并向老朋友伸出双手表示祝贺。 李光耀非常高兴，说：“我很高兴科尔先生有这样的评价，因为这是我的成功，也是中新两国合作的成功。” 科尔参观苏州工业园区后，对中国主人说：“你们这儿很有点中国书法、绘画味道。” 当时苏州人一下没有反应过来，问科尔怎讲？科尔说，中国书法讲究的是“留白”不是？你们的园区在厂与厂、楼与楼之间，有巨大的绿地、湖水空间，这不是“留白”吗？这一“留白”，就显出了你们东方人办工业、建新城上与我们欧洲人不同的文化理念。 “苏州的进步与发展，说透了还是文化上的优势。”这是原苏州市主管文教工作的副市长、现任民进中央副主席、教育家朱永新的话。 是的，苏州工业园区的成功最终在于中新两国将共同的东方文化精美巧妙地诠释在了现代化经济之上，所以它显得魅力无限。 “当我们的认识还存在一定局限、眼光还不够长远的时候，与其把所有的事情都做完，还不如给后人留下一些空间，这也许就是对未来、对后人的最大贡献。”马明龙的这种特殊理念始终贯穿园区的发展。 寸土寸金的苏州工业园，已是项目满园，仅户籍人口已达27万。但在这里，看不到令人目眩的水泥森林，也不再是千篇一律的密不透风的车间厂房，而是疏朗而错落有致的建筑、无处不在的绿色，虚实相间，使这座浓缩时代元素的新城富有张力，时尚中不乏闲适。 不久前，苏州工业园区发展咨询委员会第二次会议上，日本野村综合研究所给苏州工业园作了最新定位——“国际技术产业城市”。 野村的提法，得到园区人的普遍认同。由工业园到家园、花园、公园，由制造基地到“科技硅谷”，正是园区人的憧憬和追求。 城市建设最终要给城市人提供方便的衣食住行。统计显示，园区新增绿地2000万平方米，绿地覆盖率超过45％。园区同志告诉我，初来的客人无不惊叹于这个宜工宜居的现代新城，有的甚至为它的自然生态和美好前景所折服，在这里购房置业，准备当“洋苏州”的新人。 有统计显示，为让园区的天更蓝、水更绿，累计投资逾20亿美元的200多个项目被“一票否决”。这种气度也许只有苏州人才有。苏州吴语软绵绵，但今日苏州人做事却掷地有声，豪气冲天，而且这种声响与气象都是在软绵绵中实现的，这使得苏州人的独特性格和远大奋斗目标完美地趋于一致。 回过头，我们再去审视金鸡湖畔那片美丽的土地上出现的奇迹时，也就不再会感到不可思议了。 这就是苏州！ 这就是苏州人干的事。 这就是苏州人用袖珍的土地、精致的智慧，为中国和世界创造的实现中国特色社会主义的宏伟大业。 一块不足全国十万分之三的土地，创造了全国约3％的IT产值和16％的IC产值，有3000家外国投资企业在此落户，每年创造200亿的财税收入，等于西部一个省的财税水平。有人可能认为不能这样比，那你说应该怎么比呢？苏州工业园区的那块地方我从小就知道，过去曾经也是一块水泽荒蛮之地。只因为党的一个政策，只因为与新加坡的一次联姻，它现在成为了世界瞩目之地。苏州富裕，苏州强盛，但苏州的富裕和强盛也是人干出来的，是我的父老乡亲们流血流汗干出来的，而且他们常常是在忍辱负重的情况下干出来的。虽然没有天生的好条件，但只要我们凭着勤劳、智慧的双手和勇于解放思想的头脑，持续奋斗，开拓创新，就可以使荒山变成米粮仓，就可以使巴掌大的地盘叠起喜马拉雅山一样高的金银元宝来！ 这就是苏州的经验。 这就是苏州园区的经验。
