By the Songhua River, the spring breeze is blowing, and the light is shining under the night. Looking at the skyline across the river, the building rises from the ground, the tower construction is busy, and the construction of Harbin area of China (Heilongjiang) pilot free trade zone is in full swing.
As China's northernmost pilot free trade zone and one of the first batch of pilot free trade zones distributed in border areas, Heilongjiang pilot free trade zone has been approved for more than two years. Adhering to the overall planning of "seeking development for the national pilot system and local governments", it is becoming a "test field" for institutional innovation, a "bridgehead" for open cooperation, and a "gathering place" for advantageous and characteristic industries.
Innovate and optimize the business environment
"The company's business license is about to expire." "Thank you for reminding us. Shall we prepare materials for a trip?" Not long ago, when Liu Chundong, general manager of Harbin Wandashan Dairy farming Co., Ltd., received a telephone notice from Wang Qingbin, a staff member of the examination and approval Bureau, he hurriedly asked about the procedures.
"You don't have to prepare anything, and you don't have to run yourself." Wang Qingbin replied that as long as you confirm the information, the enterprise will automatically receive the new certificate before the expiration of the old certificate.
"In the past, the replacement and renewal of the enterprise's business license required the relevant person in charge of the enterprise to handle it in person. In 2021, Harbin implemented a new approval mode of 'Renewal without feeling'." Liu Weiqiao, director of the approval service department of Harbin Area Administration Bureau of Heilongjiang pilot Free Trade Zone, introduced that the area actively judges the subject qualification through big data analysis and system, and actively pushes the confirmation information, so that enterprises "do not need to actively apply", "do not need to submit materials" and "do not need to run back and forth" when handling license renewal or renewal.
Walking into the government service hall in Harbin area of Harbin new area and pilot Free Trade Zone, rows and rows of intelligent equipment services are busy: self-service filling desk, self-service photo booth, self-service terminal for invoice application, intelligent filing cabinet
"They make service round the clock, without dead ends." For example, Liu Weiqiao said that at any time, the screen of the self-service form filling desk will light up at one point. After the online declaration, the smart filing cabinet on one side will pop up and open the small door. The sponsor will put the materials in the cabinet, and the staff will handle them during working hours.
"You can also do business after work at night. You don't have to ask for leave during the working hours of the day." Ms. Jiang, a citizen who often comes to handle business, said.
Institutional innovation and technological empowerment accelerate service upgrading. At the same time, simplification of administration and decentralization also "accelerate" the approval process.
"Six years ago, when I opened my first store, I had to deal with the hygiene license three or four times and waited for more than a month." Wang Haiying, the store manager of Xinyi hairdressing salon in Songbei District, Harbin, said with a smile, "but this time, almost the whole process of online operation, and the certification process did not take more than 20 minutes."
Why has it changed so much? Wang Haiying pointed to the "letter of health notification and commitment in public places" on the wall, which is the "health license" - printed with commitment items such as scope of application, legal provisions, business conditions, commitment time limit and registration QR code. After downloading, printing, scanning and registering, the operator can hang out the letter of commitment together with the business license to start business.
This way of "taking photos as the main and undertaking to certify on behalf of others" has shortened the approval time of four types of small public places from 15 working days to dozens of minutes.
At present, 534 enterprise related business licensing matters in the pilot free trade zone have achieved full coverage of the reform of "separation of licenses", and 589 provincial administrative powers have been granted to three areas, resulting in the improvement and growth of examination and approval services. In Harbin area, the start-up time of enterprises has been reduced to 4 hours and the real estate registration has been reduced to 1 working day. In 2021, 5049 enterprises were newly established in Harbin, with a year-on-year increase of 26%.
"The pilot free trade zone takes institutional innovation as the core, implements the three-year action plan for innovation and development and the three-year action plan for business environment for the elevation of standard economic and trade rules, actively carries out stress testing and differentiation exploration, continues to create a market-oriented, legalized and international business environment, and releases the new driving force of opening-up and development." Wang Dong, deputy director of Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Commerce, introduced that the pilot free trade zone has generated more than 200 institutional innovation achievements, including 19 national first cases.
"If there are policies in other regions, the pilot free trade zone can have them; if there are no policies in other regions, the pilot free trade zone can talk about them." Dai shoulun, director of Harbin Area Management Committee of Heilongjiang pilot Free Trade Zone, introduced that in order to professionalize investment promotion, the area introduced the enterprise management mode, established a market-oriented and professional investment promotion group company, strengthened the whole life cycle service of industrial investment promotion projects, and built a new integrated investment promotion system of "seeking, selecting, recruiting, falling and serving". The "government takes the needs of enterprises as the needs and changes for the needs of enterprises."
By the end of 2021, a number of over 10 billion projects such as Zhengwei new materials Industrial Park and Shenzhen Harbin financial technology city had been invested, the agglomeration of advantageous industries had accelerated, and strategic emerging industries had flourished.
Deepen foreign trade cooperation
"Look at this sandwich, burst pulp and juicy!" In Heihe cross-border e-commerce Park, the anchor Zhang Ying was in high spirits and said while eating that the express box outside the door was wrapped with tape and turned like a top... After five hours of live broadcasting, Zhang Ying drove sales of nearly 100000 yuan.
In 2020, after hearing that a series of preferential policies have been implemented in Heihe area of the pilot Free Trade Zone, Zhang Ying, the "post-80s" who originally did business abroad, decided to return home and join Heilongjiang yangpinduo Trading Co., Ltd. For more than two years, the pilot free trade zone has uniformly organized e-commerce training courses every month, which has made Zhang Ying's anchor skills higher and higher, and her income has increased with the tide. "Just come back! After two years in the company, her salary has increased seven or eight times!"
Since the establishment of the cross-border e-commerce live broadcasting industry cluster in Heihe District in August 2020, more than 20 live broadcasting enterprises have been incubated, with more than 200 anchors and more than 200 mature live broadcasting operators trained.
"The 'multi warehouse linkage' has reduced the logistics time by half and reduced the cost by 20%. After the establishment of the free trade zone, warehouses, live broadcasting rooms and offices are free, with low cost and more talents." Zhang Qingbin, general manager of Heilongjiang yangpinduo Trading Co., Ltd., said bluntly that from 2018 to 2021, the company's sales increased by more than three times, driving the number of employees from less than 10 to more than 40. Zhang Ying is one of them.
"Cross border e-commerce has grown from scratch, from small to large, and its growth, vitality and market adaptability have continued to increase. Over the past two years, the transaction volume of cross-border e-commerce industrial parks has increased by an average of 20%." Zhang Bo, director of the foreign trade and cooperation center of Heihe area of Heilongjiang pilot Free Trade Zone, introduced that behind the rapid development, Heihe area launched "policy packages" such as "ten investment promotion policies for free trade area" and "nine preferential policies for inter market trade", releasing the policy effect of "multi area superposition". The new "multi warehouse linkage" model of cross-border e-commerce freight logistics created by the area enables the intelligent linkage of "overseas warehouse", "border warehouse" and "relay warehouse", Delivery time to customers is significantly reduced.
The rapid development of cross-border e-commerce in Heihe area is the epitome of the higher level of opening-up of the pilot free trade zone. The three areas are accelerating the integration of the advantages of functional areas such as pilot Free Trade Zone, comprehensive bonded zone, mutual trade zone and Border Economic Cooperation Zone, forming multi zone linkage.
A large number of connectivity infrastructure construction is also advancing rapidly. By strengthening infrastructure construction and arranging cross-border clusters, the pilot free trade zone is ready to empower the development of foreign cooperation.
In Heihe liyuanda Special Purpose Vehicle Manufacturing Co., Ltd., welding and cutting arcs occurred one after another in the workshop, and rows of semi trailers were ready for export. Song Zenan, general manager of the company, said, "the closure of Heilongjiang bridge and the approval of the pilot free trade zone have enabled us to save costs and increase efficiency and usher in new development opportunities."
Since the establishment of the pilot Free Trade Zone, on the basis of consolidating the traditional foreign cooperation, it has actively expanded investment cooperation in the fields of energy, mining and equipment manufacturing, so as to realize the interaction between domestic and overseas parks and the extension of cross-border industrial chain. In Heihe area, industrial systems such as cross-border e-commerce and logistics, cross-border electromechanical manufacturing, cross-border agricultural product processing and comprehensive utilization of imported energy have been formed. In Suifenhe area, seven overseas parks have been established to form multiple cross-border industrial chains of resource transportation, reserve, processing and distribution.
"The construction of Heilongjiang pilot free trade zone has contributed about 1 / 3 of the actually used foreign capital and 1 / 7 of the foreign trade import and export of the province with an area of 3 / 10000 of the province." Wang Dong introduced that in 2021, the actual use of foreign capital in the pilot free trade zone was 194 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 1015.8%, which was 1005 percentage points higher than that in the whole province; The total import and export volume was 26.932 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 48.7%, 19.1 percentage points higher than that of the whole province.
Advantageous industries cluster development
The crane roared, the cargo lifted and dropped, and a China Europe train shuttled back and forth at Suifenhe port. Suifenhe is known as a "century old port". Its good location advantages and efficient customs clearance services have attracted a large number of enterprises to gather and develop.
"Now, we can handle customs business online without leaving home. If we encounter problems, we will have guidance and follow-up solutions. This makes us feel much more secure." The customs broker of Suifenhe Huayun International Logistics Co., Ltd. said that during the epidemic period, the station implemented the "non-contact" inspection mode. Through measures such as "monitoring and inspection of the car body, lens collection of data, remote transmission and comparison, background review of filing data, and entry of certificates in different areas", it not only greatly shortened the train inspection time, but also reduced the risk of infection.
In 2021, the station provided services to ensure the customs clearance of China EU trains for 549 times, with a year-on-year increase of 152%. Suifenhe customs affiliated to Harbin customs has made every effort to ensure the efficient and smooth operation of a number of China EU train routes, so that the "steel camel team" between Asia and Europe continues to grow at Suifenhe port.
Zhao Chengchen, director of Suifenhe customs, said that Suifenhe customs took the initiative to connect with the train freight forwarding company, timely inform the customs of the latest policies and customs clearance procedures, and master the train operation cycle, cargo loading and arrival at the destination; Implement convenience measures such as customs clearance by appointment, online declaration and automatic clearance of customs transfer, and deepen the reform of customs business such as the consolidation of manifests and the independent choice of customs declaration places; Copy and promote the reform of China EU freight segment settlement and valuation management, and constantly reduce the cost of international trade.
The sound of the machine rumbled. Zhao Zhonghai, a 42 year old sawer of Suifenhe Qumei wood industry company, skillfully operated the single-chip saw, and the sawdust splashed behind him. Four years ago, he still guarded five acres of land in his hometown, with a total annual income of only three or four thousand yuan.
In the summer of 2019, after the establishment of the pilot Free Trade Zone, Zhao Zhonghai decided to transfer the land to Suifenhe area to "try his luck".
"I didn't think so. Timber enterprises gathered to find people. I chose a company with good treatment and food and accommodation." Zhao Zhonghai smiled. From labor to sawing, Zhao Zhonghai received professional training in the enterprise. In the past three years, his income has increased from more than 3000 yuan to more than 5000 yuan. "We recruit more workers every year. I introduced two fellow villagers this year!"
"The primary processed plates that were previously transported to Guangdong for sale are now sold in the next company." Chu Yingge, manager of Qumei wood industry company, has a deep feeling about the industrial agglomeration development and location advantages of Suifenhe area. "Our products can be transported from Southwest China to European countries. The China Europe train forms an international channel to save costs and increase efficiency in the transportation of our enterprises." After the establishment of the pilot Free Trade Zone, the customs clearance time has been greatly reduced, and the types of import and export products have become richer, driving the rapid development of the enterprise.
In Suifenhe area, enterprises above Designated Size of wood industry account for about 46% of the same industry in the province, and the annual output of broad-leaved veneer accounts for about 70% of the domestic market. At present, the five major production and processing industrial systems of wood industry, grain, aquatic products, traditional Chinese medicine and clean energy have taken shape.
The superimposed advantages of improved business environment, institutional innovation and high-level open development have rapidly driven the development of industrial agglomeration and upgrading.
Harbin area has successively targeted a series of policies such as "30 gold articles" and "10 articles to help enterprises go public". Focusing on new materials, biomedicine, high-end equipment, ice and snow tourism and other industries, it has accelerated the improvement of the open industrial system, and a number of open functional platform projects have been settled successively. Since the approval of the District, 310 industrial projects have been introduced, with an agreed investment of 471.4 billion yuan.
The optimization of business environment and the superposition of multiple policies are accelerating the siphon effect of the innovation highland of the "northernmost free trade zone". By the end of December 2021, 13845 new enterprises had been established in Heilongjiang pilot Free Trade Zone, an increase of 81.1% over that before listing. In 2021, 162 new projects were signed, with a year-on-year increase of 305%.
"Heilongjiang should expand high-level opening to the outside world and speed up the establishment of a new pattern of all-round opening to the outside world." Kang Hanqing, director of Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Commerce and director of the free trade office, said that this year, we should make greater efforts to plan and promote the high-quality development of the pilot Free Trade Zone, implement the version 2.0 action plan of the pilot Free Trade Zone, pay close attention to the system innovation, business environment, industrial agglomeration and coordinated development of the pilot Free Trade Zone, and strive to promote a high level of opening to the outside world.
