Expand the red magnetic field

Consolidate strong energy for development

Strong party building leads to strong development! Focusing on development and promoting party building, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone focuses on activating the internal power of enterprises and improving their attractiveness.

In recent years, around the goal of "double promotion of party building and economy", Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has "focused on expanding the scope" of non-public enterprises, integrated red genes into the blood of enterprise development, achieved the same frequency resonance between party building and enterprise development, and composed a harmonious chapter between party building and economic and social development. It has been successively rated as the exemplary organization of non-public party building in the parks of the province, the first batch of "smart party building" pilot units in the development parks of the province, and the demonstration park of party building in non-public enterprises of the province.

Wherever the enterprise develops, the party building must follow suit, and the role of the party branch as a fighting fortress is reflected... In order to enhance the "two coverage" of non-public party organizations, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has comprehensively surveyed, highlighted key areas, and increased the strength of party organization formation in the non-public sector. For key enterprises and industries, the development zone organizes personnel to conduct in-depth research and investigation, achieving "six cleanups", namely clear operation status, clear staff team, clear party member team, clear establishment of party organizations, clear formation of mass organizations, and clear investors.

In terms of the form of party organization formation, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone adapts to local conditions, innovates forms to promote coverage, achieves necessary construction and fast construction, combines the characteristics of non-public industries and the actual situation of non-public enterprises, adopts flexible and varied forms of party organization formation, and ensures that the establishment and operation of party organizations are grounded and popular. The development zone shall jointly establish non-public enterprises that do not currently have the conditions to form party organizations separately based on the principle of similar industries; For some social organizations, establish functional special party organizations based on their own operational laws; In areas where commercial buildings and non-public enterprises are concentrated, regional party organizations are formed to promote the integration of non-public party building into the grassroots party building work pattern in cities.

In order to transform the advantages of party building into the advantages of enterprise development, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone promotes the integration of party building culture into corporate culture, the integration of organizational operation into enterprise management, and the integration of team building into enterprise development, achieving a win-win situation of non-public party building and enterprise development. For example, implementing a "cross appointment and two-way interaction" mechanism between the party organization team and the management team of non-public enterprises, where members of the party organization team enter the management team as management personnel and participate in major decision-making issues in enterprise production, operation, and management, and enterprise management personnel enter the party organization team through election procedures to hold party positions, effectively integrating the opinions formed by the party organization into the development of the enterprise.

Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has also launched the "Empowerment Action" for smart party building, building a "Smart Party Building Cloud Platform", allowing party members to "shine" online, branch offices to "build" online, resources to "store" in the cloud, and services to "stick" in their hearts, creating an atmosphere of "learning and catching up" in the park.

From a "spark" to a "prairie fire", the internal driving force of party building in non-public enterprises in Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has been continuously strengthened. Party building has transformed from a "need for enterprises to grasp" to a conscious action of "enterprises to grasp", becoming a "booster" for enterprise development and a "driver" for innovative development, cultivating a group of outstanding party building brands. Shunyu Water adheres to the core of "original intention, dedication, craftsmanship, and love", and creates the "four hearts" party building brand; Rongshida Electronic and Electrical Appliances takes party building work as the strategic guidance of the group, and puts forward the strategic development positioning of "party building leading double innovation, double innovation driving development"... Under the guidance of the party flag, non-public enterprise party organizations continue to expand the red magnetic field, gather strong forces, and promote the healthy development of the enterprise.

 

Be a "gold medal shop assistant"

Assist enterprises in winning the future

Since the beginning of this year, the construction of projects in Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has been in full swing, and the enterprise's production and operation momentum is booming, with a continuous flow of orders. This cannot be separated from the "gold medal shop assistant" style service of Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone, and the settled enterprises also praise the service endlessly.

At the construction site of the ongoing project of Hefei Jinlonghao Technology Co., Ltd., buildings are rising from the ground. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anhui Jinlonghao Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. It invests in the construction of 3D curved glass cover plates, advanced wearable equipment material cover plates, and vehicle glass panels in Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone. In the first half of this year, affected by the COVID-19, the construction of the Jinlonghao project encountered difficulties in the transportation of raw materials. After learning the situation, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone quickly coordinated to open up a green channel for it, and assisted in docking at the highway junction. The project construction soon returned to normal. It is expected that the project can be put into production in November, with a production capacity of 30 million pieces and an annual output value of 1.5 billion yuan.

From a "nanny style" service to a "mom style" service, and then to a "gold medal shop assistant" service, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone continues to optimize its service philosophy, supporting the development and growth of enterprises with high-quality services. Enterprises use output tax revenue to feed back the development zone and local governments, forming a positive interaction.

At present, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has established a grid based enterprise service mechanism. Each member of the development zone leadership team contacts 4-5 enterprises, each middle-level cadre contacts 2-3 enterprises, and general staff contacts 1-2 enterprises. Enterprises can be contacted at any time, and issues that can be resolved at the management committee level can be resolved immediately. The high-quality service provided by the development zone is one of the important reasons why the BYD Hefei base project has achieved "Hefei speed" and "Changfeng speed". It is understood that during the project construction process, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has won support from all parties and solved the key issues related to new energy vehicle "window guidance" and casting capacity replacement for the project, making the Hefei base the fastest production project for BYD among major bases in the country.

To do practical things for the people and create a favorable environment for enterprises, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone continuously seeks practical solutions, vigorously improves its service level for the people and enterprises, and strives to optimize the business environment. By actively sorting out the list of problems involved in the "New Year Visit to Ten Thousand Enterprises" activity, actively responding to and focusing on solving the difficult problems raised by enterprises, it meticulously "safeguards" the development of enterprises.

In response to the recruitment difficulties raised by some enterprises in the area under its jurisdiction, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone carried out the theme publicity campaign of "smart employment in communities" under the party, used the Changfeng smart employment APP and the WeChat small program for quick employment in communities to ensure comprehensive popularization, so that the innovative model of "Internet plus+smart employment in communities" can benefit more residents and enterprises. At the same time, multiple offline job fairs were held in collaboration with county-level units, providing more choices for job seekers and enterprises. In February of this year, Anhui Fengte Electric Technology Co., Ltd. expressed its hope to solve the housing problem of three employees. The development zone dispatched a dedicated person to coordinate and solve the problem within a month.

In response to the reform of "streamlining administration, delegating power, and improving services", Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has also taken greater steps. The reform of "Environmental Impact Regional Assessment+Environmental Standards" is an important measure for deepening the "streamlining administration and improving services" reform and optimizing the business environment of the ecological environment system in Anhui Province in 2021. It is also a fundamental work to accelerate the reform of the approval system for engineering construction projects. Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has revised the regional assessment report based on the environmental impact assessment work that has been carried out, and it passed the review of the Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau in December 2021. Since the beginning of this year, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone has expanded the application of "Environmental Impact Regional Assessment+Environmental Standards" in conjunction with the County Ecological Environment Bureau. The next step will actively promote the approval of park construction projects through commitment system, bundled environmental review and approval, and parallel approval of environmental impact assessment and pollution discharge permits, in order to continuously create a better business environment.

In addition, in order to promote the government's transition from streamlining administration and delegating power to comprehensive innovation, Changfeng County has implemented the "one district, six parks" and "standard land" reform, deepening the integration of streamlining administration and delegating power, optimizing services, and establishing a "standard land" transfer system. The newly added industrial land (standard land) that is transferred can start construction immediately after land acquisition, promoting the efficient and intensive use of industrial land, and stimulating new development momentum. Transforming "project sites" into "land projects" and enabling enterprises to start construction as soon as they acquire land can not only accelerate project implementation, but also enable enterprises to enjoy the benefits of "streamlining administration and improving services" reform. Anhui New Vision Door, Window and Curtain Wall Engineering Co., Ltd. benefited from the "standard land" reform, and it only took 2 months from signing the contract to construction.

With a good business environment, capital, talent, and projects naturally come one after another, and the development of enterprises is bound to flourish. Through careful support and cultivation, a group of enterprises in Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone have grown vigorously and entered a broader world. In April 2021, Anhui Huaheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange; In November, Ruina Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. rang the bell and opened on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange; This year, several companies in Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone are about to go public, using the power of capital to continue seeking new development in the vast market.
Timely encouragement, time waits for no one! As the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is about to be held, in the historical coordinates of accelerating the improvement, expansion, and efficiency of the manufacturing industry in Anhui and promoting the strategy of building a strong manufacturing city in Hefei, Changfeng (Shuangfeng) Economic Development Zone is committed to building a leading area for reform, a leading area for opening up, a demonstration area for innovation, and a driving force for development, comprehensively promoting the rise of industries and depicting a more brilliant new picture of the times.
