Xi'an textile sunset industry ushered in the transformation of new traditional industries (2)

The revitalization of the textile industry has also been recognized by a large number of employees. According to Li Linghua, former employee of the Northwest No. 3 Cotton Mill, “Everyone needs to wear clothes, how can the textile industry have no future? In the past, the development of the enterprise was not possible. The main reason was that the technology, equipment, and products were backward and the added value was too low. After upgrading, it was certain. Can make money."

Yang Liu, deputy general manager of Xi'an Textile Group, said: “The textile industry cannot generate high profits like some emerging industries, but as long as we do a good job, we can still create stable returns for high-end industries. So we still have the development of this industry. Confidence."

It is because of this consensus and confidence that the construction of Xi'an Modern Textile Industrial Park and the transformation of the Old City of Textile City will once again become the engine of economic development in the Yongqiao District of Xi’an’s eastern suburbs.

“In the past, the textile industry has always been a heavy burden, especially for employees with a wide range of poverty and stable pressure. At that time, our textile companies wanted to find investors and the threshold was low, but the merchants went to those old factories and shook their heads as they examined it. "Nie Zhongqiu said:" Now that our investment threshold is high, but the number of merchants is more. In the past two years, Xi'an Modern Textile Industrial Park has introduced 49 projects, contracted investment of 30 billion yuan, has started 50 projects, completed the investment 89 100 million yuan, and 3,000 new jobs have been created."

System Innovation Solving Two Major Problems

After the bankruptcy reform of large-scale state-owned enterprises, the next phase of transformation and development often face the difficult problem of where the money comes from and where people go. In the transformation and development of Xi'an Textile City, the grassroots government solved these two problems by means of institutional innovation.

The shortage of funds for the transformation and upgrading of textile enterprises has been solved in the "cage replacement". Yang Liu, deputy general manager of Xi'an Textile Group, said that during the process of relocation and reorganization of textile enterprises, the state-owned land of the old plant area is collected and stored by government departments, and development and construction of commerce, logistics, housing, and cultural and creative industries are carried out in accordance with the new plan. The differential can raise about 1.5 billion yuan for the construction of new plants, equipment renewal, and new product development.

According to Nie Zhongqiu, one of the reasons for the decline of the textile city area in previous years was that the industry was single and the industrial chain was broken. The Xi'an Modern Textile Industrial Park, which is under construction, will be mainly based on the relocation of textile enterprises and the transfer of eastern enterprises. It will stretch and pull the textile industry chain to form textile clusters, maximize the benefits, and provide full employment opportunities.

Liu Guorong, director of Xi'an Modern Textile Industry Park Administrative Committee, said that the park covers an area of ​​about 15 square kilometers, and after about 8 years of completion, it will not only generate an output value of about 50 billion yuan, but also provide more than 80,000 jobs, which will It provides a vast space for the employment of about 20,000 laborers in the textile city area and solves the problem of “who is going to go” in the old industrial base, and achieves a win-win result in economic and social benefits.
