The 866-day Dream Dreams—Chongqing declared the end of the national auto and auto parts export base
"Get it! Get it! There is only one in Chongqing in the entire western region."
At the end of the phone, Qian Zhaogang, the deputy director of the Municipal Economic and Economic Commission, who had just walked out of Beijing’s Jingxi Hotel, had a hoarse voice, but he couldn’t hide his joy and excitement.
This was August 17, 2006, and Chongqing became the first day of the national auto and auto parts export base.
On this day, Chongqing has waited for a full 866 days.
Wind movement
Everything has to be started two years ago.
In early April 2004, Vice Minister of Commerce Wei Jianguo revealed at the “National Seminar on the Expansion of Automobile and Component Parts Exports†held in Changchun that China will establish 10 export bases for cars and parts that have divisions and focus, in order to strengthen the nation. The international competitiveness of the automotive industry.
The news spread to Chongqing on the same day. Wu Jianong, the deputy mayor, was informed of the incident and immediately issued instructions to the relevant municipal departments: While closely liaising with the Ministry of Commerce, he was always concerned about the progress of the base establishment; while organizing competent personnel to organize and draft the relevant texts, they were ready to apply to Beijing for declaration.
However, at that time, even in the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission, the establishment of a national automotive and parts export base was only an idea. According to Qian Zhaogang's recollection, in the more than one year since then, they visited the Ministry of Commerce almost once to inquire about the news, but each time they received a reply, there is only one sentence: The eight-character word has not yet been seen.
“That is what we say, but our preparations have not dared to stop or stop.†In the eyes of Qian Zhaogang, in 2004, it was a very special year for the Chongqing auto industry. In this year, Chongqing's "Creating a Famous City of Car" entered a substantive stage. Automobiles and parts and components were listed as the main export pillar of mechanical and electrical products after motorcycles. In April of the same year, the deputy mayor Wu Jiaong’s Chongqing Automotive Delegation, which consisted of dozens of local auto and component companies, came to the scene of the annual meeting of American automotive engineers.

Chongqing's "ready to prepare" was sent in 2005. With the direct promotion of Bo Xilai, Minister of Commerce, the state-owned automobile and parts export base has finally been transferred from implementation to implementation. In April, Wei Jianguo reconfirmed the news of establishing a national auto and auto parts export base at an internal electromechanical system work conference and announced that the relevant declaration and screening work will soon begin.
What Wei Jianguo did not think of was that a month later, formal declaration materials from Chongqing appeared on his desk. In the application materials jointly drafted by the Chongqing Foreign Economic Committee, the Municipal Economic Commission, and the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Chongqing will use its own vehicle and parts companies' scale and advantages in manufacturing, technology, branding, local automotive research resources, and professional and technical personnel. And the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" (Draft) of the local automobile industry and the inventory.
The first “catch-up†of Chongqing was based on such commendable “jobs†and got the first points in the relevant authorities and evaluation experts. In the following year, Chongqing won more points for itself by virtue of its clear thinking and rational attitude in the development and export of the automotive industry.
At the end of 2005, an independent working group composed of top domestic autos and trade experts quietly arrived in Chongqing and began to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a national auto and auto parts export base here. Waiting for them is a 17-page "Chongqing Application for Reporting Materials for National Automobile and Component Export Bases", a 66-page "Chongqing National Automobile and Components Export Base Development Plan", and long-term preparations have been completed. Chongqing people.

In the “micro-service†interview, the independent working team left a deep impression on the concentration, equipment processing capacity, and export potential of the Chongqing auto industry, and summed it up as the third national automobile and auto parts export base in Chongqing. Great advantage.
“Independent research and development and national brands also scored a lot for us.†Qian Zhaogang said that if Chongqing considers the industry’s outward direction and export performance of automobiles and parts, Chongqing is not as good as most of its competitors, but Chang’an, Lifan and other local companies are The importance of national brands, independent research and development, and achievements have made up for the gap in scores in Chongqing.
On November 25, the working group entered the defense stage for the review of Chongqing. This time, Wu Jianong, deputy mayor of the turn, made the experts stand out.
“Other cities are all answered by professionals from the functional departments. Chongqing alone is led by city leaders and responds to the flow.†Qian Zhaogang disclosed that after the reply meeting, an expert from the working group had specifically asked him about this. One question: Is your deputy mayor an auto-born?
“When I told him not, he was very surprised.†At the end of the phone, Qian Zhaogang smiled heartily and then said: “Then later the expert told me before leaving Chongqing that your preparation work was solid enough. The city leaders also understand this way. In my opinion, you must have a show for this time.
