Shanghai, the city that saw the first joint-venture sedan projects in China in the 1980s, and now hosts a large number of automotive dreamers and engineers from home and abroad, will once again open its doors to welcome visitors after more than three decades in the limelight.
The area and capacity of the Tesla factory in Fremont, California, USA, is similar to that of the completed Shanghai factory, which currently employs more than 10,000 people, and is expected to bring nearly 10,000 people directly to Lingang, as well as jobs from new-energy automobile manufacturing to R&D. The Tesla factory in California is expected to be the first of its kind in the United States, and is expected to be the largest in the world. According to the North American time on July 28, according to foreign media reports, Tesla is for its China factory and R & D department for large-scale recruitment, which plans to hire a number of designers and about 1,000 factory workers in China. And according to Tesla's internal staff, the hiring campaign is partly to prepare for the production of the Model Y model in the Shanghai factory, and partly to speed up the process of local model development.
The Tesla Shanghai Superfactory positions cover different business lines such as engineering research and development, manufacturing, supply chain, sales and service, functional departments, IT, charging facilities, and styling.
On July 3, 2020, Tesla Shanghai Lingang Superfactory store held a grand opening ceremony. Located in Mud Town, this Super Factory store is the first Tesla store in Lingang area, and the only Tesla store adjacent to the Super Factory in China. The two places are only 15 minutes away from each other by car, which is a unique location, and it greatly shortens the physical and psychological distance between consumers and Tesla.
According to media reports, in the future, the Lingang Super Factory Experience Center will take advantage of its proximity to the factory, and will consider promoting the mode of store experience and factory visit to drive the development of industrial tourism in the new area, and will also consider joining the form of live broadcasting.
Mud City as "Pudong Yan'an", itself has a red cultural genes, coupled with the region's long history and Lingang four towns in the area of historical protection of more buildings, I believe that in the future can become a new destination for Lingang tourism.
In November last year, Tesla's China factory in Shanghai's Lingang Industrial Zone welcomed a new neighbor, Boshun Automobile, the only new energy vehicle company in Shanghai to get a development site besides SAIC and Tesla.
Saint-Gobain Safety Glass (China) Co. signed a contract with the new Lingang zone in 2019. The company is one of the suppliers for Tesla's Shanghai factory, and it will provide supporting glass for the domestic Tesla Model 3, which will go into production within the year. After Tesla's Shanghai factory is located in Lingang, Saint-Gobain Safety Glass has also set up its Shanghai factory in Lingang New Area, a move precisely to better serve Tesla and at the same time gain greater development opportunities with Lingang's industrial cluster effect.
In April 2020, Shanghai Lingang Changying New Energy Technology Co., Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Changying Precision (hereinafter referred to as "Lingang Changying"), signed a contract for a new energy automobile key component project in Lingang Industrial Zone. Lingang Changying will invest in the Lingang Industrial Park to build a research and development, manufacturing and sales base for key components of new energy vehicles, and serve new energy vehicle brands such as Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, SAIC, Geely, CATL and so on in close proximity. The project proposes to rent the Diamond Park plant in Lingang Industrial Park, with a plant area of about 16,000 square meters, which is mainly used for research and development, office, testing and production.
The industrial agglomeration of intelligent networked new energy vehicles has attracted not only enterprises in the automobile manufacturing industry chain, but also brought development opportunities to companies engaged in transportation services.
Mud town in the new Lingang area in the positioning of the Lingang industrial zone life service base, with the speed of the industrial landing, the regional living facilities are also more and more perfect, according to the mud town of the "Hope Mud City" public news, at present, the mud city community supporting gradually improved. 2020 a kindergarten was completed and put into use, an elementary school in 2020, the other three schools are being put into use, and the other three schools are being put into use. In 2020, a kindergarten will be put into use, a primary school will be put into use, and three other schools are going through the preliminary procedures; the community health service center will be put into use; and the construction of the community nursing home will begin. Shopping, dining, leisure, entertainment, business in one of the city's business district center in the beginning, the results are beginning to appear.
According to the planning of the new Lingang area, the new Lingang area in 2025, the resident population will reach one million, I believe that most of the high-end industry manufacturing practitioners, from the social reality, where the manufacturing industry tends to concentrate and get the development of the city or country, the economic competitiveness of the markedly improved; and the proportion of the manufacturing industry is declining, the proportion of the service industry is declining city or country, the economic competitiveness of the markedly weakened. The future of Shanghai to build a strong manufacturing city, Lingang to build high-end manufacturing aggregation area, it is necessary to focus on the policy to support and develop the manufacturing industry, to resist de-industrialization, hollowing out tendencies. The development of high-end manufacturing in the city, matching the city's innovation capacity, has become the basic law of modern urban development, raising the cost of high-end manufacturing development, resulting in the loss of quality resources and elements conducive to the construction and development of high-end manufacturing.
Lingang new area is not a feast for speculators, nor is it a must-win choice for homebuyers and speculators, therefore, the future of Lingang, the future of the mud city, do not need speculators and speculators, but need a lot of talent to add bricks and mortar to its construction and development, Lingang is open for the talent!
