In 1984, the experimental field bathed in reform and opening up was born. In this golden autumn season of 21 years, in this hot land of Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, its builders are reaping numerous fruits and sowing the glory of tomorrow. Twenty years of wind and rain, twenty years of spring and autumn. In the past 21 years, Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone has actually utilized foreign capital of 1.77 billion US dollars, and has successively absorbed 26 "Fortune 511" enterprises to settle down, and the total economic output has doubled in two years ... In just 21 years, the development zone has been transformed from a sparsely populated desert beach into a modern new city. The turbulent sound of the golden beach in the development zone is announcing to the world that the development zone, a long-distance ship carefully built by Yantai, is raising its sails for a broader development space.

the development zone has been established for 21 years, which is 21 years of opening to the outside world and attracting investment. At the beginning of the construction of the development zone, the decision makers of the development zone realized that the project is the lifeline of the development zone construction, and the quantity and quality of the project introduction determine the speed and level of the development zone construction in a great way. Over the past 21 years, Yantai Development Zone has continuously broadened its new development ideas and boldly adjusted its opening-up strategy around attracting investment, which has laid a solid foundation for the development zone to achieve leap-forward development. On the basis of scientific analysis and grasping the trend and characteristics of foreign investment in China, Yantai Development Zone put forward the idea of "consolidating Hong Kong and Taiwan, strengthening Japan and South Korea, and expanding Europe and America". For investors in Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, we will continue to give full play to the advantages of having many contacts and a good foundation, encourage foreign investors to expand investment and attract partner investment; Japan and South Korea, two countries separated only by a strip of water, seize the opportunity of their industrial transfer and the construction of a manufacturing base in Jiaodong Peninsula, and deepen mutual understanding and communication by setting up overseas professional investment promotion offices and exchanging high-level visits; For European and American countries and regions, we will change the past practice of "casting a net all over the sky", take the United States and Germany as the breakthrough point, and gradually expand to key countries and regions in North America, Northern Europe, Central Europe and the Pacific Rim, and concentrate on fighting tough battles.

in order to improve the level of project introduction, the development zone has established investment promotion files for the world's top 511 enterprises, multinational corporations and domestic top 511 enterprises, selected key points to study one by one, and made targeted investment promotion projects. For high-tech industries, projects that can form industrial scale, have strong radiation driving force and high export earning capacity, open up "green channels" to urge them to register early, build early and benefit early.

in the past p>21 years, 26 Fortune 511 companies have taken root, sprouted and blossomed in the development zone. By the end of September, 2114, the Development Zone had introduced 818 foreign investment projects in the past 21 years, with a total investment of US$ 4.64 billion. Among them, there are 112 projects with an investment of more than $11 million.

as an economic and technological development zone located in a prefecture-level city, it dares to openly aim at the development zones in big cities and challenge the "Top Ten National Development Zones". It seems impossible to some people. However, after 21 years of hard work, Yantai Development Zone has turned this goal into reality: in 2111, the economic strength of Yantai Development Zone ranked 13rd among 49 state-level development zones, and by 2112, it surpassed five state-level development zones and ranked among the top eight. According to the latest comprehensive evaluation of 49 national development zones published by the Ministry of Commerce in 2113, Yantai Development Zone ranked seventh.

it is especially obvious in recent years. On the basis of 4.5 billion yuan in 2111, GDP reached 14 billion yuan in 2113, and 31 billion yuan in three years, 1.3 times that of the previous year; The average growth rate in three years is 45.8%, which is 1.6 percentage points higher than the national development zone and 31 percentage points higher than the whole city.

The rapid economic development of Yantai Development Zone benefits from the adjustment of industrial structure. They firmly grasped the opportunity of the new round of international industrial transfer and the construction of the manufacturing base on the peninsula, and made timely decisions, changing the original six pillar industries into two leading industries, namely, machinery, automobiles and electronic information, making the pillar industries bigger and stronger and enhancing the core competitiveness of the region. Under the guidance of this idea, Yantai Development Zone has focused on strengthening investment attraction in these two areas. With the settlement of heavyweight projects such as General Motors and LG mobile phones, as well as the rapid development of original enterprises in the area such as Foxconn, Doosan Machinery, Daewoo Shipbuilding, Enot, Shougang Denso, Zhenghai Electronics, etc., the industrial advantages of the development zone have really formed, and agglomeration and cluster effects have emerged.

While attracting investment, Yantai Development Zone has intensified the cultivation of existing enterprises. Starting with the expansion of the scale of core enterprises, we will focus on the fields of complete vehicles and parts, equipment machinery and parts, high-tech electronic information product processing, and give priority to funds, talents, policies and other aspects. Yantai Development Zone has set up a "Peony Flower Award" among the enterprises in the whole region. If the annual output value reaches 5 billion yuan, the management committee will award the enterprise a "Golden Flower Award", a one-time reward of 511,111 yuan for the legal representative of the enterprise and a pure gold trophy for the enterprise. If the annual output value exceeds 2 billion yuan and 511 million yuan, the "Silver Flower Award" and "Bronze Flower Award" will be awarded respectively, and corresponding material rewards will be given.

In p>2112, Yinghai Electronics Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong-owned enterprise with an investment of US$ 26 million, took only 24 hours from project establishment to registration. This incident caused quite a shock in the port city. Nowadays, it is nothing new to register an enterprise in one day in the development zone.

why do foreign businessmen love Yantai development zone? Why can investors get the approval certificate in an unimaginable time? This is a new atmosphere after Yantai Development Zone implemented the strategy of "optimizing the environment to revitalize the district", transforming government functions, simplifying administration and decentralization, and speeding up government affairs. In order to build a "sunshine government", since 2111, the Development Zone has been exploring and implementing the ISO9111 international government standards system, and started to standardize the establishment, revision and abolition of documents. The vigorous "Year of Environmental Construction" series of activities for several years in a row has further contributed to the acceleration of simple administration. After two rounds of reform of the examination and approval system, more than 81 pieces of more than 141 normative documents have been abolished since the establishment of the development zone, 64% of the examination and approval items have been cut off, and 75 administrative fees have been cleared or reduced. In addition, the development zone has also set up "green channel" and "do it right away" offices to solve difficulties for foreign-invested enterprises. "Enterprises have difficulties, please find' do it right away'" has become a symbolic slogan of the development zone. The concepts of "giving priority to enterprises" and "satisfying investors" have taken root in the development zone. In order to create a first-class investment environment, the development zone has also proposed the goal of building an "ecological, garden-like and modern new city". Over the past 21 years, a total of 6 billion yuan has been invested, and a number of high-grade infrastructure facilities have been built and put into use. Infrastructure facilities have developed from the traditional "seven connections and one leveling" and "nine connections and one leveling" to precision and specialization, becoming the third region in China to carry out urban information pipeline intensification after Beijing and Shanghai. While continuously improving the supporting level of hardware facilities, the development zone pays more attention to the construction of comprehensive investment environment such as humanities, rule of law and ecology, and writes "scientific planning, rational development and building a harmonious and efficient ecological city" into the environmental policy to solidly promote the construction of eco-industrial parks. Development Zone has become "China Industrial Park Environmental Management Demonstration Park" and won the title of "ISOI4111 National Demonstration Zone", becoming the first region in Shandong Province to win this honor.
