Among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta, how can Zhaoqing be more visible in the auto industry? She said frankly that Zhaoqing has a good ecological foundation for the auto parts industry and inherent location advantages, especially in the top-level design of the industry, combining the energy grid, the Internet of Vehicles, and the Internet of Things to form an industrial ecology of intelligent and connected vehicles. Provide convenient application scenarios and innovation environment for enterprises by opening up urban scenes and data. Facing an industry shortcoming that urgently needs to be filled.And upstream and downstream of the industry chainFocusEnterprises work together to create an intelligent manufacturing ecosystem, which is Zhaoqing's welcome to the automotive industryFocusThe key to development dividends.
Zhaoqing’s "dream of chasing a car" many years ago
Chen Xuanqun recalled that Zhaoqing had always had a dream of chasing cars.StartWant to introduce leading car companies, has also made a lot of efforts. The investment promotion work with a strong sense of chain started in 2016. At that time, Zhaoqing City had to undertake the investment promotion work of an industry, which was actually similar to the "chain length system". At first, Chen Xuanqun chose the new business form of the Internet, so he knew and introduced a group of enterprises and talents in the Internet field, which also laid the foundation for Zhaoqing's later development of intelligent networked vehicles. In 2016, she started to attract investment in the new energy automobile industry.

Zhaoqing is located in the Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing metropolitan area, and its location advantage brings certain benefits to investment promotion.
At that time, after Zhaoqing's new energy vehicle industry chain investment policy was introduced, many people asked: Can Zhaoqing be a new energy vehicle?
Chen Xuanqun said frankly that when planning, Zhaoqing related companies had a relatively weak foundation.StartIt is mainly a supporting enterprise that introduces auto parts. "
Vehicle companies have timeliness requirements for parts and components, especially auto companies that need to have zero stock of parts and components, and require parts to be delivered within a two-hour traffic radius. For Guangzhou, Zhaoqing has a better space within a two-hour radius.As a result, the early prototypes of Zhaoqing’s industrial chain investment promotion centered around Guangzhou Automobile, BAIC, Dongfeng and other vehicle companies that have plants in Guangzhou.core, Their parts suppliers have become the main target of Zhaoqing's investment promotion.
With this direction, ZhaoqingStartContinuously promoting development, Zhaoqing has gradually formed an important auto parts distribution center and parts production in Guangdong Province.base. "By 2017, some companies hope to settle in Zhaoqing for development. They told me that'Zhaoqing is alreadyNationwideOne of the top ten cities in the automotive aftermarket'. This is something we didn't even think of, which also proves that Zhaoqing already has the foundation for making new energy vehicles. "Chen Xuanqun said.
Invite technology "masters" to do a good job in industrial transformation
In the process of laying the foundation for the new energy automobile industry, what practical measures does Zhaoqing have?
Chen Xuanqun introduced that after the new energy automobile industry became the main industry in Zhaoqing, he first invited "seniors" to the outside world. He invited Chen Changnian, the former head of the equipment department of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers and a senior consultant of the China Academy of Mechanical Sciences, to visit the companies one by one with his team. This played a very critical role.
"He told the company that the future development of new energy vehicles is the trend, how it should go, what is the progress of the domestic and foreign countries, etc.. Entrepreneurs have a very sensitive sense of smell.Startpay attention to. For example, a traditional auto parts company in Zhaoqing, whose original business was to produce engine cylinder heads for Honda, is not necessary for new energy vehicles. "Chen Xuanqun recalled, but after Chen Longnian's research, he suggested that this company could upgrade the chassis frame for new energy vehicle batteries.
What’s more interesting is that a company that originally made food aluminum foil and industrial aluminum foil has nothing to do with automobiles, but Chen Changnian told the company that the same technology and equipment can also be used as separators for the positive and negative electrodes of new energy vehicle batteries. The market demand will be very high in the future. Great, this time gave the enterprise inspiration.
"There are many examples like this, including companies that produce engines and sensors. He knows at a glance which technologies are powerful and can be transformed into applications, and then one family persuades and motivates them to transform into the new energy automobile industry. This is a new opportunity for Zhaoqing. The formation of the energy automobile industry has helped a lot." Chen Xuanqun said.
Another key point is to keep up withnationPolicy, grasp the trend. "At that time, Zhaoqing was chasing the license plate for the production of new energy vehicles.nationConnect with the company every time you post one. "Chen Xuanqun said that by taking advantage of the trend, I can get twice the result with half the effort. I read a lot of industry trend information every day."nationThe call to follow the law of corporate development, so many companies are willing to contact and communicate with us.Later, some companies, including Xiaopeng, slowlyStartGet to know Zhaoqing, know that Zhaoqing is grasping this industry chain, after understandingStartRecognition of each other, the road goes smoother and smoother. "Chen Xuanqun said that Zhaoqing is also focusing on policies and industry trends.FocusThe layout of the intelligent networked automobile field is also smooth in the process of actively docking related innovative companies such as lidar, module chips, and high-precision maps.
Investment promotion around the industrial chain of leading industrial enterprises
What are the changes in Zhaoqing's investment strategy in the automotive field today?According to Chen Xuanqun, the original investment strategy was mainly to lay the foundation, firstly the auto parts industry foundation, then the talent foundation, and the promotion and application planning foundation, and the introduction of a group of think tanks andexpertresource.After the above ground piles are built, the next step is to grasp the height. Only grasp the heights of the innovation chain and grasp the mostcoreThe whole industry can truly rise.
For example, Zhaoqing introduced the smart car Xiaopeng, the Ningde era in power batteries, and Fenghua Hi-Tech in automotive electronics. "Xiaopeng Motors came about 4 years ago. Once such a OEM comes, it can bring up a piece of industry. It can attract investment according to its industrial chain and its needs, and help it with supporting facilities." Chen Xuanqun further introduced Xiaopeng. When the car first took the land, ZhaoqingStartFocusing on its key components upstream and downstream enterprises to attract investment, “around 2017, we also went to Beijing to meet with the Canadian supplier of Xiaopeng Motor’s three-electric system to assist Xiaopeng in attracting investment and establishing an industrial ecosystem.” Chen Xuanqun emphasized, so it can be seen , The mutual empowerment between enterprises and cities is very critical.
Facing the future, Zhaoqing's automobile industry must seize the high ground of intelligent network connection. "We found that from new Internet business forms to big data, and then using big data to make artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence is the next step in technological development.Focus. The intelligent networked car will be the fastest centralized application field of artificial intelligence. Therefore, the intelligent networked car will be a commanding height in the entire industry chain. "Chen Xuanqun said that the development of the intelligent networked automobile industry should not only focus on the car, but also on the data and energy. The future of the car is a mobile power bank and multiple sensors, which will completely change people's lifestyles and Urban road planning, this track will give birth to many hundreds of billions of enterprises.
In terms of specific investment strategy, Chen Xuanqun believesZhaoqing thisThe method of attracting investment by a single enterprise has been abandoned in the past. “Inviting investment must be the creation of the entire industrial ecology and the introduction of the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain; the business environment must also provide a full range of services, including government support, policy support, and talent ofAssure, Application promotion, etc., that is, the comprehensive investment and service of the industrial chain and its ecology. "So, for intelligent networked vehicles, Zhaoqing will play the basic card of the industrial chain, and it is also a good ecological card of the industrial chain.
Open scene applications attract high-end talents
In previous surveys, the panel found that when Zhaoqing is developing the smart car industry, how to solve the talent problem is the key.Chen Xuanqun said frankly that many people indeed have doubts on this point, including someexpert. "Frankly speaking, this area is really a weakness of Zhaoqing. Zhaoqing is currently in short supply of high-end talents and key talents. However, we have also thought that many things are not prepared for all conditions, and there is no need to stop there. Discouraged," Chen Xuanqun said.
She also found that one of the characteristics of artificial intelligence technology is that its iterative innovation is largely derived from the accumulation of application data, that is, through opening up and coordinating advantages, as much as possible to launch artificial intelligence, intelligent networking, intelligent manufacturing, etc. Kinds of enterprises come over to apply, and then slowly attract enterprises,expert, Scholars, leading figures, and high-end talents are gathered here. Zhaoqing’s current focus is on the ecological brand of the industrial chain and the technological chain, and it is an open laboratory at the city level. In other words, innovation is not a battle for one person, but the government and the entire city are swimming in the long river of innovation side by side with innovation subjects.
