In the whole Songjiang Prefecture, Shanghai County brings together most of the industrial and commercial output value and tax revenue of the whole province, but even within Shanghai County, its economic development is very deformed.

Shanghai's industry and commerce are now basically concentrated in the urban area, this part of the urban area, mainly refers to the old city, business and trade area, the North Shore Development Zone, the first and second industrial zones, but except for the above places, there is basically no large-scale industrial and commercial existence in other places.

Elsewhere in Shanghai, such as the area on the east bank of the Huangpu River, or 10 kilometers away from the west bank of the Huangpu River, that is, outside the main urban areas, the economic model is still dominated by agriculture after so many years, and the industrial development has not improved much.

Shanghai, or more precisely, Shanghai's five major urban districts have joined together to form a super black hole, absorbing the wealth, population, and resources of the surrounding areas.

Even the surrounding prefectures of Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou have been sucked away from a lot of wealth, population, and resources, not to mention the rest of Songjiang Prefecture on the edge of the five major districts!

The siphon effect is vividly displayed in Shanghai, in the five major districts!

If Chen Lifu is still the county magistrate of Shanghai's special county, then he is naturally very happy to see this situation, and even strives to continue to absorb all the resources in the surrounding area.

Because in this way, it is basically equivalent to absorbing resources from other places to develop Shanghai, which is a great thing for Shanghai itself.

But now that Chen Lifu has become the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, he is a little worried about this situation.

After all, as Songjiang Prefecture, he has to ensure the continuous and rapid development of Shanghai, and at the same time, he must also let other areas develop, so as to be able to increase the economic development of the entire Songjiang Prefecture as a whole.

His political achievements come from the development of the entire Songjiang Prefecture, not just the development of Shanghai.

But now this seriously deformed economic development strategy has made Chen Lifu vigilant.

For example, Huating County, which is adjacent to Shanghai, is not far from the old city of Shanghai, but the economic development is a heaven and an underground!

For example, poor Huating County, once the economic center of Songjiang Prefecture, was governed by the government, and in the sixteenth year of Xuanping, its industrial and commercial output value was only five percent of Shanghai's!

Yes, that's right, it's only five percent!

More importantly, the 2 percent of the industrial and commercial output value is not generated by the traditional economic powerhouse of Huating County, that is, the county seat, but in the eastern part of Huating County, that is, the area adjacent to Shanghai County.

In the area on the west bank of the Huangpu River in the east of Huating County, the Second Industrial Zone near Shanghai, although it is not directly adjacent to each other, and it is separated by several kilometers, but the powerful economic engine of the Second Industrial Zone still drives the development of the surrounding area and even Linxian County.

Relying on the proximity to the second industrial zone, Huating County has played the slogan of supporting the major enterprises in the second industrial zone, and directly set up a Huating Development Zone in the area at the junction of the two counties in an attempt to attract investment.

However, the signboard of Huating County is still very different from the signboard of Shanghai County, and at the same time, Huating Development Zone, this development zone has not actually received the support of the central government and even Jiangnan Province, and there is no support from the superiors, which means that there is no financial support.

Without financial support, they have no way to make upfront investment in the development zone, such as leveling the land, building roads, building wharves, building freight rails, warehouses, factories, etc.

Relying only on the county finance of Huating County, coupled with some financial subsidies from Songjiang Prefecture, they simply did not have the ability to make large-scale upfront investment, and could only make small troubles, until now, they did not even have a usable wharf along the river, that is, they built a few cinder roads as the main traffic arteries to connect the second industrial zone.

In addition, there is another very important reason, that is, Huating Development Zone has not received the support of the superiors, which means that this development zone has not received preferential tax policies.

In order to attract investment, various places in the Tang Empire often use tax subsidies to attract enterprises to settle in, but the intensity of subsidies is different, and this has nothing to do with the wishes of the local governments.

Because the preferential tax policy is divided into several parts, such as the preferential tax measures stipulated by the central government, the preferential tax measures of the provincial finance, and the tax incentives at the prefecture, state, county and other levels.

Among them, the preferential tax policies of the central government are very difficult to obtain, and at present, only a few specific industries and specific industrial zones can obtain this kind of preferential tax policies from the central government.

In terms of industry, mainly high-tech industries, specific enterprises, this kind of preferential tax policies, no matter where the enterprise is, as long as it passes the central review and approval, then you can enjoy the highest level of preferential tax policies, the most basic are three years of tax exemption, five and a half years of tax, and then free land, free repair of various infrastructure, etc., and then there are some messy specific subsidies, and so on.

However, there are very few enterprises that can directly obtain the preferential tax policies of the central government, no more than 100 nationwide, and they are basically heavy industries that are not involved in private enterprises, such as the textile industry that private enterprises like to invest in the most, and this industry basically does not expect to be able to directly apply for the national preferential tax policies.

The only way to do this is to stay in an industrial zone that can benefit from this policy.

Since the formulation of the industrial zone policy, a large number of various industrial zones have actually emerged in the Tang Empire, basically every prefecture and county dare not lag behind, and more or less will go to build an industrial zone.

However, these industrial zones are very different, and the preferential tax policies that can be enjoyed by settling in different industrial zones are also completely different.

Because some industrial zones can enjoy financial subsidies from the central government, provincial finance, government/state, county and other levels of finance, and can achieve thorough tax exemption for three or even five years, five and a half years of tax and so on.

But there are very few such industrial zones, and they are full of eight!

They are the first and second industrial zones and the North Shore Development Zone in Shanghai. Panyu and Foshan are two industrial zones in Guangzhou, plus Dangtu Industrial Zone in Taipingfu, Hanyang Industrial Zone in Wuchang and Dagukou Industrial Zone in Tianjin.

Even Jinling City does not have such an industrial zone that can enjoy all the preferential policies.

A small number of other industrial zones in the country are supported by provincial finance, such as the Ningbo Industrial Zone, which was built with almost provincial finance, and the Jiujiang Industrial Zone in Jiangxi.

As for the rest, most of them are only at the state level, or even just the county itself to run the industrial zone, the most famous of which is the Lingao Industrial Zone, which relies on the Linhai Erjiu Fishery Company, the country's largest fishing and processing enterprises to establish the industrial zone, is now the full support of the entire Qiongzhou government, and has contributed almost all the industrial and commercial output value and more than 80% of the tax revenue to the Qiongzhou government.

Huating Development Zone, which is very difficult, is only a county-level industrial zone, and it has not even been able to get financial support from Songjiang Prefecture, let alone Jiangnan Province and the central government.

Because whether it is the central government or Jiangnan Province, their goal is to put in Shanghai, want to concentrate on doing big things, in the case of limited resources, limited development potential and good prospects of Shanghai, as for the next door Huating County, unfortunately, it has become the object of sacrifice.

The officials of Huating County are naturally unwilling!

If the higher authorities don't support it, they will do it themselves.

The example of Lingao Fishery Industrial Zone is the best example of the vast majority of prefectures and counties in the country to run their own industrial zones, even if the top does not support it, but as long as you find the right way, you can still do it.

The most important thing is not that there is no policy, but that you have to find the right way!

Because the officials around the country are also showing their own powers, according to their own local things to develop an industry, such as Huzhou, Zhejiang, they have a wealth of high-quality silkworm cocoon resources, and the local silk is very famous, so began to develop the silk industry, Shanghai there are many silk reeling factories and high technical content, low cost, and they are under great pressure to compete, so Huzhou is simply to take the high-end route, directly develop high-end silk, staggered competition.

For example, if a place finds that there are bamboo and wood resources in the jurisdiction, it will develop corresponding industries such as papermaking or bamboo and wood furniture.

Lingao Fishery Industrial Zone, the model of specialization, is also a great enterprise for many small industrial zones in many places.

They can't do it big and all, but relying on the advantages of local specialties and other advantages, the development of a certain industry is still a head.

I have to say that in fact, although many local industrial zones are small and inconspicuous, and most of them do not have a few large-scale enterprises, some of them are still alive and well, and often become the local industrial pillars and financial leaders.

But these have nothing to do with Huating Development Zone!

The top does not support it, and Huating County itself does not have any special resources, and the only advantage is its proximity to Shanghai.

But the proximity to Shanghai is an advantage, but also their biggest disadvantage!

Because of the comparison between Huating Development Zone and the second industrial zone next door, all entrepreneurs who are not stupid will choose to go to the second industrial zone to build factories.

Huating Development Zone, which has been tossed for many years, is now only two or three kittens, and they are all invested by the local gentry, as for foreign investors, they will go directly to Shanghai, and they will not go to Huating only a few kilometers away.

However, although there are few enterprises, but there are a lot of people in Huating Development Zone, after all, it is a few kilometers away from the second industrial zone, and there are more than 100,000 workers in the second industrial zone, which requires a huge living and consumption supporting area.

Therefore, the Huating Development Zone is becoming more and more lively, but this kind of excitement is not what the officials of Huating County are willing to see.
