Chapter 293: Hello, Welcome to Pengcheng!

The silk side spits out, and the silkworm in the silkworm must be broken......

The gap between the land of China and the Western world is too great, and the people are too poor.

Reform and opening up are imperative.

But how to reform?!

Like other people's children, Huadu Pengcheng Special Economic Zone was born in this context.

It is an unprecedented and courageous attempt by the land of China, and it is an attempt to absorb the positive elements of capitalism in the social idea of market economy.

What is a special economic zone, Zhang Xingxing used to be very vague about this concept, isn't the special economic zone Pengcheng or Pudong in Shanghai!

This is indeed the case, but it is still vague, and even superficially believes that only China has special economic zones, which is obviously not the case at all.

In this life, as a student of economics, he did not learn in vain, he knew what this special economic zone was, it was a means to open up a free market and develop trade, its history can be traced back to ancient Phoenicia, the Phoenicians were good at navigation and commerce, they were good at attracting customers, expanding trade, and providing access to foreign merchants in and out of the southern Phoenician seaport of Tyre and the North African colony of Carthage.

This practice was later adopted by the Greek city-states and the Romans, who opened up secure zones for economic exchange and economic expansion and political domination.

When the center of international trade in the West of the Middle World gradually shifted from the Mediterranean to Northern Europe, the Hanseatic League emerged, and its members were seventy towns, which imposed preferential treatment such as tariff reductions and exemptions among themselves, which was understood in the sixteenth century in recognition of the important role of these measures in promoting economic and trade development.

In 1597, in order to activate foreign trade, Europe and Italy established the world's first free port in a port in the Gulf of Genoa, where there are docks, warehouses, and foreign goods can enter and exit the port area without paying customs duties, which greatly enlivens the exchange of goods, promotes the development of trade, and increases local economic benefits.

Subsequently, Venice, Marseille in France, Hamburg and Balamen in Germany, Copenhagen in Denmark, and Porto City in Portugal have also declared their own ports or set aside some places as free trade zones, and the emergence of such special economic zones in the form of free ports and free trade zones is closely related to the emergence and development of the capitalist mode of production, in order to meet the needs of socialization, internationalization and commodity export.

By removing the national obstacles that hinder the progress of capital, capital can operate freely and fully in a given area.

In this way, the bourgeoisie broke through the barriers of feudal secession and self-shutting down, and swept more and more countries into the international market.

For example, the United States has 92 such foreign trade zones, and Mauritius has the most among developing countries, with 88 export processing special zones.

Where is the economic development of the land of China going, whether to take the development path of the United States, or the development path of the Soviet Union, it is completely certain that westernization will definitely not work, and it is obviously impossible to take the path of the Soviet Union to see the current predicament of the Soviet Union, so the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone is just a test for the whole country in the land of China.

Of course, it is also the only way to break the situation and the strategy suitable for the country's national conditions, because Shenzhou Dadi has realized that the economy of Shenzhou Dadi cannot develop vigorously in a short period of time, so it chooses to concentrate on doing big things, first implement the development of special zones and cities, and then drive the development of the whole country......

Zhang Xingxing came to Pengcheng for the first time in his previous life and this life, and he went to the island country several times, but he also transferred at Baiyun Airport in Guangshi, and he had not set foot here, so he had long wanted to come.

In 1980, when the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone was established, Zhang Xingxing wanted to come, but at that time, it was useless for Zhang Xingxing to come, because at that time Pengcheng was established, and it was all tidal flats and farmland here, and the infrastructure had not yet started, and there were only construction sites everywhere, and at that time he was still selling tea, eggs and melon seeds.

Now ten years have passed, Pengcheng has built a large city of considerable scale here, it is not a new city that Zhang Xingxing has engaged in in Dongyang County, it is much bigger, the geographical location is much better, and it is now attracting a lot of people, migrant workers from all over the country, investors from all over the world.

Because this is a special economic zone, there is a good investment environment, the investment environment here is not only the freedom of trade, but also need to have an excellent natural environment, economic environment, social environment, complete infrastructure and other hardware construction, including preferential investment policies, investment projects that can be selected by multiple parties, simple investment environment and procedures, the advantages and disadvantages of a local investment environment, which is the ideal environment for foreign investors to decide the direction of investment, choose investment projects, and ultimately obtain investment benefits, which is considered by investors to choose investment。

Nowadays, Pengcheng Special Economic Zone is fully in line with this ideal investment environment, first of all, the natural environment, Pengcheng is bordered by the sea in the east, has a port, connects the Pearl River Estuary in the west, borders the New Territories of Hong Kong Island in the south, and ...... in the north The land is flat and open, and the coastal zone is a coastal plain, and the land is solid, mostly granite weathered soil layer, which is conducive to the development of various uses such as industry and commerce, and residential land.

Pengcheng has the most preferential and open investment policy in the land of China, and the state implements different management from non-special zones in the special economic zones in terms of administrative management, system, investment, import and export of goods, people's entry and exit, customs, taxation, financial currency, labor wages, public security, culture and education, and foreign relations......

By 1990, the whole country recruited from all over the country, and there were only 20,000 locals in Pengcheng, and millions of cadres and workers with high quality and culture and talents of various structures were transferred in, and Pengcheng was built for 10 years with the strength of the whole country, and tens of billions of yuan were invested to develop more than 70 square kilometers of new urban areas, so that the construction of hydropower, transportation, energy, telecommunications, and ports in the special zone developed rapidly......

The export products produced by enterprises in the special zones and produced with imported raw materials are all exempt from product tax and value-added tax, and most of the products produced with domestically produced raw materials are also exempt from product tax and value-added tax.

Wait a minute.

These are very attractive to Zhang Xingxing, who has money and wants to invest.

"They all said that Pengcheng is good, and they will no longer flee to Hong Kong Island. ”

This is now the mantra of the Southerners,

Hong Kong Island was raised by the British in Great Britain, and today it is a city to be reckoned with in Asia.

The name of the Four Little Dragons is not in vain.

After a hundred years of development, there is no doubt about its degree of modernization.

But now Pengcheng seems to have the trend of a Hong Kong island city, and this speed of development has surprised the world's attention.

It's incredible, a city with modernity has been built in ten years.

The airport in Huadu is still under construction and will not open until next year, so Zhang Xingxing came by train this time.

As soon as I got off the train, the exit of Huadu Railway Station read: Hello, welcome to Pengcheng!
