Shandong's economic structure is better, high-quality development is stronger, and its muscles and bones are stronger
The economic structure of Shandong is highly similar to that of the whole country. One important task of building a comprehensive experimental zone for the transformation of old and new driving forces is to take the lead in finding a way to optimize the economic structure under the new situation.
Since the implementation of the major project to transform old and new driving forces, the industrial structure of Shandong Province's "321" has become increasingly stable, and the proportion of the service industry has continued to increase. In the first 11 months of this year, investment in the "four new" economy accounted for 44.4%, investment in high energy consuming industries decreased by 22.1%, and retail sales of energy efficiency grade 1 and 2 goods increased by 9.3%. From multiple dimensions such as industrial structure, investment structure, and consumption structure, the characteristic of Shandong's heavy economic structure is accelerating improvement.
Emerging industries are accelerating, while traditional industries are accelerating and becoming stronger
Walking into Jimo District People's Hospital in Qingdao, you will find that the doctors here have a "perspective eye" during surgery - with the help of a pair of MR (mixed reality) glasses, the surgical site is accurately overlaid with a 3D holographic image model, making the patient's body appear transparent. A 40 minute spinal joint surgery can be shortened to 20 minutes, and the incision is also smaller.
In May of this year, the first domestic and the world's third MR smart glasses display chip and lens mass production line was completed in Jimo. Including this project, Jimo has signed 91 strategic emerging industry projects in the fields of new generation information technology, high-end equipment, new energy and new materials, medical care and health, etc. this year. It is worth noting that such a group of emerging industry leading projects have been successfully applied and fed back to various fields such as healthcare, education, and industry, which can help promote the transformation of Jimo, an important carrier of Qingdao's manufacturing industry, towards "smart manufacturing".
Emerging industries are an important direction for economic transformation and a focal point for global industrial competition. According to data released by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the proportion of Shandong's new energy added value to GDP increased from 39% in 2016 to 48% in 2018, and the proportion of "four new" economic added value to GDP increased from 20.7% in 2016 to 25% in 2018. Halfway through the "three-year initial results" of the transformation of old and new driving forces, Shandong has submitted this answer sheet: from January to November this year, the added value of the new generation information technology manufacturing industry, high-end equipment industry, and new energy and new materials industry increased by 4.9%, 6.6%, and 4.7% respectively, which are 4.2, 5.9, and 4.0 percentage points higher than the added value of industries above designated size.
The changes are worthy of recognition, and what is even more worthy of recognition is the idea of cultivating emerging industries, "said Liu Dejun, director of the Strategic Research Institute of the Provincial Macro Economic Research Institute. In the past two years, Shandong has held onto the basic foundation and foundation of traditional advantageous industries, either by splitting from them or focusing on empowering and serving to cultivate emerging industries." It is neither conservative nor blindly risky. This solid industrial structure adjustment is far more important than short-term data
During this process, many enterprises in traditional industries have achieved "turning iron into gold" and "opening the door twice" through integration, grafting, transformation, and transformation; Many industries and sectors have undergone "cluster style" transformations, radiating vitality. For example, in the chemical industry, a batch of major projects worth billions of yuan, such as Wanhua Chemical's 1 million tons/year ethylene and Weilian Chemical's 2 million tons/year xylene, are being accelerated. The Yulong Island Refining and Chemical Integration Project (Phase I), which invests billions of yuan, is expected to start construction within this year.
We need to continue to strengthen and deepen the adjustment of industrial structure. "Liu Dejun mentioned that compared to the previous two years, some places have shown a more precise trend in attracting emerging industries. In the next step, it is recommended to concentrate efforts and reach consensus, focus on cultivating several emerging industry clusters based on the positioning of local main functions, and ensure that limited resources are used on the" top priority ".
The service industry becomes a "stabilizer" and the enterprise moves out of "Xintiandi"
At the World Industrial Design Conference held at the end of October, Jerry, an oil and gas equipment manufacturer from Yantai, signed a new project with the Norwegian Enterprise Alliance. With this project, a shared channel for industrial design will be established between China and Norway. In fact, Jerry is no longer just a simple equipment manufacturer. As a national level industrial design center, its reputation as a production service provider has become increasingly prominent in recent years. The resources and talent advantages accumulated in industrial design have continuously benefited many small and medium-sized enterprises both inside and outside the province through the sharing platform.
Industrial design is a representative field of productive services, which is the key to extending and accelerating the integration of primary and secondary industries into the tertiary industry. In the first three quarters of this year, the structure of Shandong's three industries was 5.8:43.4:50.8, with the proportion of the service industry increasing by 1.5 percentage points year-on-year, contributing 77.0% to economic growth, and driving economic growth by 4.1 percentage points. Not only is the stabilizing effect becoming increasingly evident, but in emerging service industries such as productive services, it also presents characteristics of stronger professionalism, more active innovation, and higher industrial integration. Chen Qinghua, Deputy Director of the Provincial Office of New and Old Driving Forces, pointed out that Shandong's service industry is accelerating innovative and transformational development, steadily improving quality, and increasingly becoming an important way to cultivate new driving forces for economic development.
Seizing the organic integration point of informatization between traditional manufacturing and service industries, some enterprises firmly grasp the initiative of transformation and upgrading in their own hands. This year's sales are expected to increase by 10%, achieving a breakthrough against the downward pressure in the foreign trade market, "said Shi Dong, Vice President of the Import and Export Company of Lingong Group. From developing the first 5G remote control excavator in China to customizing a full chain solution for the entire construction process based on information technology such as big data, the sales of high value-added products continue to increase, and operating profits can increase by about 20%. Through this, Lingong has achieved a transformation and upgrading from selling equipment to selling solutions.
Since this year, Shandong Province has successively identified 32 provincial-level service industry featured town cultivation units, including Qingdao (Jiangshan) Fund Town and Zaozhuang Internet Town, to promote the characteristic development, agglomeration development and innovative development of the service industry at and below the county level; The construction of provincial service industry major project library was launched, and 83 construction projects with a total investment of 55.7 billion yuan were included in the service industry major project library... From January to October, the Internet and related service industry, business service industry, software and information technology service industry realized an increase of 59.6%, 20.2% and 19.8% respectively in operating revenue, and the contribution rate of the three industries to the growth of above scale service industry reached 40.6%, 2.0 percentage points higher than the previous three quarters.
New progress in state-owned enterprise reform, focusing on upgrading the main business
On November 8th of this year, Shuifa Group celebrated its tenth anniversary, with the keyword "integration and optimization", and its next decade has steadily begun. 2019 is the first year of industrial integration for Shuifa Group. "Chairman Wang Zhenqin revealed that the three main industry platforms of water conservancy, agriculture, and environmental protection have been initially established, with asset sizes exceeding 40 billion yuan, 15 billion yuan, and 30 billion yuan respectively. In these key areas that are related to Shandong's high-quality development but still face bottleneck constraints, strategic and specialized restructuring and integration are being solidly promoted.
State owned enterprise reform is a key part of structural reform, especially in Shandong, where the state-owned economy with total assets exceeding 9 trillion yuan is the main force and ballast. From January to November this year, the operating income of 104 provincial enterprises in the "Top Ten" industrial fields was 369.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.75%; The total profit was 33.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.22%, accounting for 24.39% and 36.9% of the total enterprises respectively. This is achieved by closely focusing on serving major national and regional strategies, adhering to the principles of progress and retreat, and doing and not doing. But at most, there are 18 provincial enterprises involved in the 20 industry categories of the national economy. Just this year, led by the Provincial State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the main businesses of 28 provincial enterprises were reconfirmed, and non main businesses were cleared and withdrawn within three years. The problems of unreasonable layout structure and unclear main business advantages that have always existed in Shandong's state-owned economy are being effectively reversed.
State owned enterprises are continuously concentrated within the province and expanding outside the province, and state-owned assets are showing a structural characteristic of gradually concentrating towards large enterprises, main businesses, and important industries and key areas related to national economy and people's livelihood, "said Liu Bing, President of the Provincial Macro Economic Research Institute. The integration of traditional advantageous industries that are in line with the eight major development strategies but relatively scattered is accelerating. Shandong Airport Management Group and Shandong Port Group are established, and the internal integration of provincial medical and health care, cultural tourism industries is orderly promoted; At the same time, resources such as technology, talent, and capital are concentrated in strategic emerging industries, expanding business scale and extending the industrial chain. Like Shuifa Group, this year's natural gas business has expanded from pure natural gas utilization to gas power plants and LNG receiving stations. With this, Shandong's new energy industry is expected to take a big step forward.
In this process, some state-owned enterprises in Shandong that do not have obvious advantages in competitive industries have further recognized their own positions and transformed into mixed ownership enterprises through employee stock ownership, restructuring, and other means. With the integration of technology, market, and other aspects with private enterprises, they have achieved an improvement in vitality, influence, and control. The latest data shows that not only has the mixed ownership reform of provincial second level and below enterprises exceeded 60%, but mixed ownership reform at the first level group level has also been initiated.
Zhang Bin, Director of the Provincial State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, introduced that Shandong Province is currently studying and formulating an evaluation system for mixed ownership reform, further refining reform goals, guiding enterprises to accelerate the transformation of their operating mechanisms, and implementing their market-oriented status as the main body. It can be expected that this will create more space and provide more assistance for the state-owned economy to adjust its layout in a timely manner according to market conditions, and to focus on the big and the small.
