At the 2017 China Manufacturing Innovation Development Forum held a few days ago, Shi Jun, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, said that to truly realize the goal of “Made in China 2025”, the most urgent task is to intensify cost reduction efforts and truly reduce the burden on enterprises. Made in China lightly packs into battle. Now all countries in the world are "lightening", if Chinese manufacturing companies still carry unnecessary "baggage", they will fall behind again.

"Capital is benefiting the capital market, squeezing the development space of the manufacturing industry. To revitalize the real economy, the focus is on manufacturing, and the difficulties are also on manufacturing. To implement the strategy of making a strong country, cultural self-confidence is the spirit, craftsmanship is the soul, and independent innovation is the driving force. , Intelligent transformation is the path, and the national brand is the symbol." said Li Xinghao, Chairman and President of Chigo Group.

Reduce business costs

"In recent years, the cost of labor, raw materials, land and other factors in my country has risen rapidly, which has greatly increased the cost of manufacturing enterprises." said Luo Wen, director of the Planning Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The scholar think tank predicts that the hourly labor cost ratio of manufacturing industries in China and India will rise from 138% in 2012 to 218% in 2019.

　　 Li Xinghao believes that the current domestic manufacturing industry is facing downward pressure as a whole, including capital, labor and other factors have been withdrawn from the manufacturing sector, resource and environmental constraints, the export market is sluggish, and technological innovation capabilities are seriously insufficient. "Many manufacturing companies have encountered bottlenecks in their development, profit margins have been declining, and some industries are even facing losses in the entire industry. More and more entrepreneurs have left the manufacturing industry." Li Xinghao said.

　　According to calculations, the current average profit rate of the industrial industry is about 6%, but the profit rate of the banking industry is close to 40%, which is nearly 7 times that of the industrial industry. Liu Zhibiao, dean of Jiangsu Yangtze River Industrial Economics Research Institute and distinguished professor of Changjiang Scholars, pointed out that the profitability of the real economy is not strong, and the profit of the virtual economy is too high, forming a strong adsorption of resources and driving up the cost of the real economy.

Gao Shangquan, a well-known economist and former deputy director of the National Economic System Reform Commission, said that in the era of globalization, Chinese manufacturing must correctly face the "shock wave" of international tax cuts, through reforms and innovations to make taxation more standardized and transparent, and increase tax cuts and fee reductions. To create a better environment for the development of manufacturing enterprises.

　　Shi Jun said that reducing the cost of enterprises requires a good combination of reform and innovation, which can be summed up as "one stop, seven drops, three innovations." "One stop" refers to stopping other projects that increase the cost of the enterprise. "Seven reductions" refers to the reduction of institutional transaction costs, tax costs, financing costs, energy costs, logistics costs, labor costs, and land use costs. "Three innovations" refers to the innovation of enterprise management mechanism, innovation of government management mechanism, and innovation of intermediary cultivation management mechanism.

Say goodbye to "usage doctrine"

"Every major breakthrough in science and technology often brings a series of new technologies, new materials, new processes, and new equipment. The use of these advanced technologies to transform traditional industries will help improve the production efficiency and product quality of traditional industries, and reduce costs. Promote the development of traditional industries to high-end." Luo Wen said.

Li Xinghao believes that in the past, most companies pursued "usage doctrine", but now they must say goodbye to imitation, improve independent innovation capabilities, and promote product innovation, technological innovation, and business model innovation with smart manufacturing as the core, so that innovation can become a driving force for building a strong manufacturing nation. The core strength will eventually realize the manufacturing industry from big to strong, and become the symbol of the world's high-quality products.

　　 Feng Kaidong, an associate professor at the School of Government of Peking University, said that China’s manufacturing industry must rely on independent innovation if it wants to change the big but not strong situation. At present, China's manufacturing is changing to "China's smart manufacturing", which is both an opportunity and a challenge. Both the "Industry 4.0" in Germany and the "Industrial Internet" in the United States are trying to upgrade the industrial economic platform to regain control over the manufacturing industry, which will bring about the redistribution of the global layout and profit of intelligent manufacturing. China has to complete the transformation within a limited time, because a new round of late-developing countries has emerged as a "low-cost manufacturing" model, which is gradually eroding the original territory of Chinese manufacturing.

"From a global perspective, whether it is the "Industrial Internet" in the United States, the "Industrial 4.0" in Germany or the "Made in China 2025", the core is intelligent manufacturing. The era of intelligent manufacturing as the core has come, and the promotion of intelligent manufacturing is global The only way for industrial development is also the main direction of China's manufacturing transformation and upgrading." Li Xinghao said.

Liu Zhibiao pointed out that judging by the average annual growth rate of the "China Innovation Index Research Report", by 2018, R&D investment will account for 2.61% of GDP, which is close to the level of developed countries. This shows that my country's real economy It is developing in the direction of innovation-driven. However, my country is currently at the stage of technological learning and imitation, and is at the critical point of breaking through to independent innovation. In the process of transforming and upgrading to the high-end of the value chain, Chinese companies encounter technical blockades and other restrictions, as well as financial difficulties, which require more government support.

Build national advantage

"China’s manufacturing industry needs to build our brand." Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, pointed out that China is already the world’s largest trading country and must change its economic development mode to create a new international trade competition. Advantage. This new advantage includes at least four items: technology, service, quality, and brand. To build a trading power, we must first transform from a world factory to a manufacturing power and find our own unique advantages.

　　 Sha Nansheng, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that brand building is an inevitable requirement for a strong manufacturing country. In the era of economic globalization, brands have become an important symbol of the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry and even the national economy. Building well-known brands has become the commanding heights of economic competition in various countries, and has become an important force leading the global industrial chain. However, there are still too few world-class brands made in China. Accelerating the improvement of quality and cultivating brands is the general trend of building a manufacturing power.

Li Xinghao called on the government to optimize the investment and development environment, boost the confidence of Chinese manufacturing companies, introduce stronger financial policies to support the development of the real economy, and increase support for manufacturing companies, so that China's manufacturing industry can successfully realize "Chinese products" to "Chinese brands". "And then to the great transformation of the "world brand".

"The government should increase support for manufacturing enterprises in terms of trade promotion, R&D investment, and building national brands." Li Xinghao said that while expanding domestic demand, it is recommended that the government introduce favorable policies related to promoting export trade to provide "Made in China" "Go to the international market with a smooth path; increase R&D investment in enterprises and the supply of scientific and technological talents, encourage enterprises to engage in technological innovation, and create convenient conditions for the transformation of enterprise R&D results; for enterprises that operate normally, loan funds cannot be reduced, and loan funds must be allowed. More social capital invests in manufacturing, allowing more entrepreneurs to focus on the development of manufacturing.

"From an international perspective, the governments of developed countries play an important role in the protection of emerging industries, technical research and development support, and market demand cultivation. Even when some large companies encounter difficulties that they cannot overcome, the government will directly invest in shares. Support enterprises.” Luo Wen said that this is still the case in developed countries. As a catch-up economy, my country should give full play to the role of the government, rationally formulate industrial policies, provide high-quality public services, cultivate a fair and competitive market, and increase protection when necessary. Investment in some important areas.
