Zhejiang Bearings and other enterprises transfer surplus production capacity to improve overseas survival rate

“There is a fast-growing consumer market, enjoying tax breaks of '5 exemptions, 50% reductions', and lower labor costs than domestic ones. For us, it is very attractive.” Zhejiang Peel Bearing (Thailand) Co., Ltd. CEO Zhu Lixin After the company settled in the Thai-Chinese Rayong Industrial Park, it was deeply felt that the "going out" move was on the right track.

Located on the east coast of Thailand, Rayong Industrial Park has become one of the first parks with the best investment and operation in the first batch of overseas economic and trade cooperation parks of the Ministry of Commerce. Its investors are the Holley Group headquartered in Hangzhou and the Amtech Group in Thailand. With the summons to the sea, more and more local companies are drifting across the sea to blossom. The Rayong Industrial Park has also become a typical model for Zhejiang and Hangzhou enterprises to go abroad. It has received high attention from the provincial and municipal foreign economic and trade departments.

Curve competition seeks to bypass trade barriers

Wuxi Simles Petroleum Pipeline Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a new company that has entered the Rayong Industrial Park. The plant is under construction. Zhang Yonggang, general manager of the company, said that since September last year, anti-dumping big sticks have fallen on Chinese seamless steel pipe companies one after another. Therefore, the company has stepped up its implementation of its overseas strategy and has settled down there. He said: “Europe and the United States rarely implement trade sanctions such as anti-dumping, countervailing, and special guarantees on Thai products, and bypassing European and American trade barriers against Chinese companies is a very important point for us to 'go global'.”

The Rayong Industrial Zone began its development and construction in 2006. After four years of development and investment promotion, 28 companies have signed contracts to enter the park, with a total investment of 227 million U.S. dollars. Among the companies that enter the company are Zhejiang Zhejiang Dunan, Fortis Group, Jutai Auto Parts, Peel Bearing, Hangshen Electric and other Zhejiang companies, as well as Chongqing Lifan Group, Zongshen Motor, Shenzhen CIMC, and Jiangsu Zhenxiong Copper. enterprise.

According to the analysis of the person-in-charge of the Department of Foreign Affairs of Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce, local SMEs are going out on the one hand to further explore the international market, and at the same time, they can effectively cope with trade frictions that increasingly plague Chinese companies, and on the other hand, they can also provide the local industry chain with Supporting and transferring domestic surplus production capacity.

However, for more companies, there is a rather complex mood to face "going out." Chongqing Lifan Motor Co., Ltd. is well known in the domestic industry. When it single-handedly started its business in Thailand, it actually experienced a lot of embarrassment - 3 years, and even the market access permits were not available. After entering the Rayong Industrial Park, it took only nine months to solve the three-year problem that plagued Lifan Motors. "Especially when I saw a man riding a Lifan motorcycle on the street with the general manager of Lifan Thailand, the excitement was indescribable," said Xu Genluo, general manager of Rayong Industrial Park Development Co., Ltd.

The dissatisfaction of land and water is a big problem for local companies trying to “go out”. A statistics from the foreign economic and trade department shows that the survival rate of overseas enterprises that were established before going abroad was only 35.63%. The overall size of the company is relatively small and its strength is weak. The lack of overseas business experience and poor anti-risk ability are common problems of these enterprises.

Wang Licheng, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Holley Group, deeply feels this. He said that what is needed most now is not the support for the park platform, but the support for the enterprises, including policies, talents, procedures and mechanisms.

The greatest benefit of going abroad is to improve the negotiating power of enterprises and reduce investment risks and investment costs. For example, Chinese-funded enterprises settled in the Luoyong Park can enjoy preferential policies such as “eight-half exemptions for eight exemptions”, exemption from customs duties on imported machines, and exemption of customs duties on imported raw materials; the park provides enterprises with preferential policies, enterprise registration, and enterprise plant construction. , Leasing, life support, business consulting and other "one-stop" Chinese service. In addition to various infrastructure facilities, the park has also built executive apartments and established Chinese-funded enterprise associations to provide them with good working and living conditions. In the second phase of the park, which will soon be put into use, a more extensive and professional exchange platform will be set up - the park club.

The policy promoted more than 40 Hangzhou enterprises to “go out”

There are also more and more platforms for Zhejiang companies to hold “going out”. In addition to Thailand's Rayong Industrial Park, Wenzhou shoe company Kangnai Group led the construction of Russia's Ussuriysk Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone, Qianjiang Investment Co., Ltd. Vietnam China's Longjiang Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone and other two national-level offshore cooperation areas, and The construction of overseas industrial parks by six private enterprises is progressing.

“Encourage, support and promote enterprises to establish industrial parks and processing trade zones in countries and regions where resources and energy are relatively concentrated and where investment environment is relatively good through market operations, and to drive and gather related industries to enter the park to reduce corporate investment and production. The cost will be a key point for Hangzhou enterprises to "go global". A related person from the Municipal Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation stated that Hangzhou will also promote the pace of private enterprises to enter the international market. This year, they have been ranked on the basis of the top 500 companies of Hangmin Enterprises. More than 40 companies, mainly engaged in advanced manufacturing, are the focus of the “going global” work.
