Guo Wenhai as Secretary of Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee: A good political ecology is a first-class business environment.

  On October 24th, the media reported publicly that the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee decided to appoint Comrade Guo Wenhai as member, standing committee member and secretary of Zhongshan Municipal Committee. That night, Guo Wenhai, the newly appointed secretary of Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee, presided over the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. He stressed that loyalty and cleanliness should run through the construction of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and form the greatest cohesion.

  On October 25th, the first working day after Guo Wenhai took up his new job, Zhongshan held a high-standard entrepreneur forum, and spent one day fully communicating with nearly 50 business representatives. Guo Wenhai said that if Zhongshan wants to develop with high quality, it must first develop with high quality.

  In just two days in office, Guo Wenhai’s itinerary is compact and intensive, reflecting an efficient and pragmatic work style.

  A

  Promote Shunde’s "village reform" to achieve decisive results

  The public resume shows that Guo Wenhai, 53, has been working in Foshan since he graduated in 1989. In July 2014, Guo Wenhai became the deputy mayor of Foshan, and in October 2015, he served as the Standing Committee and Propaganda Minister of Foshan Municipal Committee. In September 2017, Guo Wenhai served as Secretary of Shunde District Committee, Secretary of Party Committee of Shunde Vocational and Technical College and Secretary of Party Working Committee of Sino-German Industrial Service Zone (Foshan New Town) as the Standing Committee of Foshan Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda.

  Guo Wenhai was in charge of Shunde for three and a half years, and vigorously promoted the transformation of village-level industrial parks during his entire tenure.

  After Guo Wenhai came to Shunde, after investigation, he found that Shunde lacked room for development: on the one hand, the intensity of land development exceeded 50%, and reduction planning was needed; On the other hand, 382 village-level industrial parks with shabby form and backward low-end occupy 70% of industrial land, but only contribute 27% of output value and 4.3% of tax revenue. "Village-level industrial parks will have no future without changing Shunde". After Guo Wenhai took office for half a year, Shunde made up his mind to promote the transformation of village-level industrial parks.

  The "village reform" work was first carried out in longjiang town, Shunde, which is a super-difficult problem more difficult than urban demolition, involving the interests of the government, village collectives and villagers, land lease owners, existing enterprises and other parties. How to balance the interests of all parties is the key to realize the village reform and build a contiguous industrial park. Guo Wenhai once told the media that "village reform" was a road that no one had taken at that time, faced with difficulties such as opposition from vested interests and cadres’ fear of difficulties. At the beginning of the reform, "I don’t know where the road is", which was last stand for both cadres and individuals.

  How did Shunde "chew" this "hard bone"? Guo Wenhai introduced the "Shunde Experience" at the on-site meeting of the upgrading and transformation of industrial clusters in villages and towns in Guangdong Province in 2020. First of all, Shunde District Party Committee and District Government firmly regards "village reform" as the "top-ranking project", and at the same time, it is also clear in towns and streets that "village reform" is the "top-ranking responsibility system". Second, Shunde’s "village reform" insists on "changing from industry to industry". In general, 70% of the land space is planned for industry, about 7% for reclamation and greening, and about 22% for "changing from industry to commerce". At the same time, a series of policies are also introduced to prohibit speculation in industrial real estate, so as to reduce the cost of transformation. Third, we solved the problems encountered in "village reform" with the thinking of reform, issued a series of documents, and asked the province to give a policy of "try first" when encountering policy bottlenecks. Fourth, Shunde insists on the combination of strong law enforcement, civilized law enforcement and reasonable compensation to solve the problem of retiring enterprises with high pollution risk and backward production capacity in the park. Finally, Shunde "village reform"Relying on a group of "village reform iron army", with iron belief, iron will, iron style, iron responsibility and iron discipline, we have practiced the "village reform" struggle of smelling chickens and dancing day and night, rain or shine.

  According to the data, as of December 7, 2020, 441 projects in 227 parks of 382 village-level industrial parks in Shunde have started to be transformed. Guo Wenhai said at the above-mentioned work site meeting that Shunde has achieved decisive results in "village reform", and in 2021, Shunde village-level industrial parks will generally withdraw from the historical stage.

  Through the courage and responsibility of cutting the blade inward and breaking the wrist of a strong man, Shunde won the tough battle of village-level industrial park transformation and broke through the development bottlenecks of Shunde’s industrial upgrading, environmental protection and urban form construction with the help of space. As the general commander of this work, Guo Wenhai not only bears the heavy burden of reforming the deep-water area, but also provides samples for Guangdong to solve the problem of "village reform" because of scientific and pragmatic strategies and firm and courageous action, and therefore has boarded the provincial media several times and gained a lot of praise.

  Firmly innovate and develop the concept, and really care for entrepreneurs.

  "Village reform" exchanges space for Shunde’s high-quality development and lays a solid foundation for Shunde’s innovation-driven development. Plant a plane tree and attract the phoenix. Midea, Country Garden and Galanz, well-known local enterprises in Shunde, have all become bigger and stronger through the space of "village reform". Through the "village reform", the industrial pattern is reshaped, which is the deep meaning behind it; To achieve the goal of the next stage, we need to gather a large number of high-quality enterprises with innovative ability.

  In January this year, Guo Wenhai pointed out at the Shunde Conference on Promoting High-quality Economic Development that we should unswervingly put scientific and technological innovation at the core and fully support the innovative development of enterprises. "At present, Shunde must hold high the scientific and technological innovation ‘ Daqi ’ . Shunde can’t be willing to be a manufacturing factory and watch others innovate. We want to establish a manufacturing area, but it must be an innovative and technological manufacturing industry. " Guo Wenhai sent a message to Shunde entrepreneurs, hoping that they will make up their minds, firmly shoulder the responsibility of innovation-driven development, and build enterprises into innovative subjects.

  Entrepreneurs are explorers, organizers and leaders of innovation and development. In fact, Guo Wenhai has always respected entrepreneurs. He has publicly stated on many occasions that he should serve enterprises from the heart and take good care of entrepreneurs.

  At the above-mentioned Shunde Conference on Promoting High-quality Economic Development, Guo Wenhai took the initiative to go to the seats of entrepreneurs to shake hands and say hello before the meeting began. After the meeting began, the representatives of entrepreneurs who would speak were invited to take a seat on the rostrum. During the meeting, all cadres were twice proposed to stand up to thank and pay tribute to entrepreneurs.

  In April 2021, Guo Wenhai became deputy secretary of Foshan Municipal Committee, deputy mayor and acting mayor of the municipal government, and in June, he became deputy secretary of Foshan Municipal Committee and mayor of the municipal government. On April 12th, Guo Wenhai held a forum with the Foshan business community on the afternoon of his new job.

  The media wrote in the report: Fang Hongbo, president of Midea, had planned to go on a business trip, but took time out to attend. After reporting the relevant situation, Guo Wenhai said, "I heard that you will go on a business trip later, so go to work first. You have made the greatest contribution to Foshan by developing beauty well ",and walked beside Fang Hongbo, held his hand and sent him out of the meeting room. The climax of the interaction was at the end of the discussion. When Guo Wenhai stated that "entrepreneurs can come to me directly if they have problems", some business representatives put forward a request to add WeChat, and immediately got a positive reply from Guo Wenhai. He picked up his mobile phone and circled the field, scanning the code with the entrepreneurs on the spot to add friends.

  All kinds of details can feel Guo Wenhai’s respect and care for entrepreneurs. In fact, Shunde’s work is far more than that. Guo Wenhai proposed that we should unswervingly accelerate the embrace of "5G+ industrial Internet" and accelerate the construction of a large number of world-class "lighthouse factories"; Unswervingly speed up the reform and listing of enterprise shares, and serve the listed enterprises to become bigger and stronger; Unswervingly encourage and support enterprises to recruit talents globally; Unswervingly create a first-class business culture and create a first-class business environment.

  One son is full of revitalization, and the "son" of village reform is "alive", and the road to high-quality development in Shunde is getting wider and wider.

  B

  Debuted for the first time, emphasizing the construction of a loyal and clean Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee

  This time, Guo Wenhai became the secretary of Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee. How to inject new impetus into Zhongshan’s high-quality development in accordance with the "1+1+9" work arrangement of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government is the focus of attention of all parties.

  Zhongshan and Shunde were once listed as the "Four Little Tigers of Guangdong", and their development in recent years has also encountered similar difficulties: the intensity of land development is high, the degree of land fragmentation is high, the industrial land available for contiguous development is very limited, and the space for industrial transformation and upgrading is insufficient. In order to solve the problem of development, Zhongshan has launched a tough battle:

  In October, 2020, the Ninth Plenary Session of the 14th Committee of Zhongshan City of the Communist Party of China reviewed the Implementation Plan for the Delimitation of Major Industrial Platforms in Zhongshan City. The total planned area exceeds 470 square kilometers, accounting for 26% of the city’s land area, ensuring that there is room for outstanding local enterprises to increase capital and expand production, and large enterprises and large projects can be recruited.

  In December, 2020, Zhongshan Municipal Government issued the Administrative Measures for Urban Renewal in Zhongshan and the Implementation Rules for Upgrading and Renovation of Old Factory Buildings in Zhongshan, which sounded the horn for the renovation of old factory buildings in Zhongshan.

  This year, the three-year action for the construction of major industrial platforms was launched, with the target of not less than 30,000 mu of new and revitalized land for the whole year, and not less than 7 pieces of contiguous land with an area of 1,000 mu or more, including not less than 4 pieces with an area of 2,000 mu or more.

  In addition, this year, Zhongshan carried out a round of administrative division adjustment: Xiaolan Town and Dongsheng Town were abolished and a new Xiaolan Town was established; People and Nanlang changed from town to street, and were developed by Torch Development Zone and Cuiheng New District respectively. Through this adjustment, Zhongshan has widened the framework of its jurisdiction, which is conducive to building a big platform, introducing big industries and achieving great development.

  In this context, Guo Wenhai, who has rich experience in "village reform", is in charge of Zhongshan, which undoubtedly makes all walks of life feel excited and encouraged.

  In April this year, Guo Wenhai participated in the summary of the village reform of Xingtan Town, Shunde District, Foshan City in 2021 and the deployment meeting of the general attack and sprint of "should be demolished and demolished" as the deputy secretary of Foshan Municipal Committee and acting mayor. When reviewing the three years of "village reform", he said that several teams, district departments, towns, villages, entrepreneurs and old comrades in Shunde have given great benefits to the village reform. "Shunde has a loyal, clean and responsible team, which is a team that touches the whole society, and this is the key to Shunde village reform."

  Perhaps this is a valuable experience that Guo Wenhai brought to Zhongshan.

  On the evening of October 24th, at the first meeting of the Standing Committee of Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee, Guo Wenhai proposed that efforts should be made to build the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee with firm politics, democratic centralism, unity and cooperation, diligence and honesty, and promote the reform, development and stability of Zhongshan to achieve new and greater results. It is necessary to carry out loyalty and cleanliness throughout the construction of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and form the greatest cohesive force.

  From winning Shunde to attacking Zhongshan, we are once again facing the development problems, which is a new challenge that needs full investment.

  In-depth communication with nearly 50 business representatives on the first working day.

  On October 25th, Guo Wenhai’s first working day in Zhongshan, Zhongshan held a high-standard entrepreneur forum: leaders of four teams in Zhongshan, leaders of 21 municipal departments and leaders of 23 towns and streets spent one day communicating with representatives of nearly 50 enterprises, facing up to problems and difficulties, listening to opinions and suggestions, and studying solutions.

  The enterprises participating in the symposium basically covered the representative enterprises in the leading industries in Zhongshan.

  From the perspective of industry, the computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing industries have the largest number of invited enterprises, with 9 enterprises, including leading enterprises such as Wistron Zitong, Tongyu Communication, United Optoelectronics and Eton Electronics. 8 home appliance manufacturers, including Galanz, Midea, Dongling Power, Yilaite, Omar Refrigerator, TCL Air Conditioner, Guangdong Changhong and Vantage; There are 6 equipment manufacturing enterprises, including Mingyang Wisdom, Thyssen Elevator and Dayang Electric.

  "I said something more directly, maybe ‘ Not nice ’ 。” Lu Chuping, chairman of Zhongshan Dayang Electric Co., Ltd., put forward his own views on the problems encountered in enterprise development. "Not ‘ Not nice ’ , is ‘ Very nice ’ . The party and government team in Zhongshan is to listen to real opinions. It is precisely what we welcome that enterprises dare to speak out. " Guo Wenhai, secretary of Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee, responded.

  Through a day’s discussion, on the basis of combing the opinions and suggestions of entrepreneurs, Guo Wenhai revealed the next few trends of the municipal party Committee and the municipal government:

  One is to unswervingly create a first-class business environment. Guo Wenhai emphasized that a good political ecology is a first-class business environment. This is related to the style of cadres, and the cadres in party member should further change their work style and be "shopkeepers" of enterprises.

  The second is to accelerate the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises. After listening to the entrepreneur’s speech, Guo Wenhai was deeply touched. He thought that the industrial structure of Zhongshan was similar to that of Foshan. "But traditional manufacturing is not a sunset industry. The key is to enhance the competitiveness of traditional manufacturing." Next, Zhongshan should study and introduce policies to encourage and support the digital and intelligent transformation of Zhongshan enterprises.

  The third is to further establish communication channels between government and enterprises. The establishment of "office immediately" is to solve the efficiency problem of the government; The "walking office" is to ask the government to go deeper into the grassroots and get to know the grassroots. None of this can be formalistic, not slogans, but plans, actions and practical results.

  The fourth is to further sort out the land problem. Especially for land bottlenecks, the transformation of old factories and other issues, it is necessary to set up a research group to conduct research in the form of special topics to solve the problems of land fragmentation, industrial space and industrial land.

  In just two days after taking office, Guo Wenhai’s itinerary was intensive and compact, reflecting an efficient and pragmatic style and courage to take responsibility. As Lin Shoujin, chairman of Zhongshan Milet Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. said, "I feel a strong signal that the municipal party committee and the municipal government attach importance to the development of manufacturing industry."

  We expect that Zhongshan will make concerted efforts, lay a solid foundation for high-quality development, and open a new chapter for implementing the "three orientations" entrusted to Zhongshan by the provincial party committee (building Zhongshan into a supporting point for the integration and development of the eastern and western banks of the Pearl River, a hub city in the coastal economic belt, and an important pole of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area).
