Why are there so many factories in Wenzhou?

First of all, Wenzhou and the coastal areas of southern Zhejiang and Fujian are one of the areas that are least inclined to national policies because of the problems in Taiwan Province Province. Therefore, before the reform and opening up, the economy and people's living standards in this area were far lower than those in the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing and even some cities in the central and western regions, but if they were poor, they would change their minds. Before the reform, there were many small family-owned factories in Wenzhou, all of which were produced in the name of township collective factories. After the reform, they naturally became private factories. Therefore, Wenzhou has never been tilted by the policy.

In addition, in the past, Wenzhou had to go out by water, because in Wenzhou dialect, "water" and "death" were homophonic, so Wenzhou people all said: Wenzhou has been dead (water) since ancient times. The traffic construction in Wenzhou is quite special. First, the airport was not originally approved by the State Council. However, because the Wenzhou government completed 80% of the financing itself when the airport was still under examination and approval, which was approved by the State Council, there is a saying that Wenzhou Airport "raised funds by itself". It can also be seen from here that Wenzhou is not taken care of by the state. The first railway in Wenzhou, 1998, was opened to traffic. Until the EMU entered Wenzhou in 2009, there was only one railway in Wenzhou, so many Wenzhou people never took the train at all. Wenzhou has a good deep-water port, but because of the national policy, Wenzhou Wharf has no hardware and hinterland, which has been suppressed by Ningbo, because Ningbo is a port that the country attaches great importance to. From the above, you can probably know the traffic situation in Wenzhou.

As for equipment and machinery, there are almost no heavy industries and large state-owned enterprises in Wenzhou.

Therefore, I personally think that the industrial development of Wenzhou can be attributed to the following reasons: First, Wenzhou people walked out of Wenzhou immediately after the reform and opening up and quickly completed capital accumulation. The second is the characteristics of Wenzhou people, their courage, vision, business acumen, daring to be the first in the world and their fighting spirit. In addition, Wenzhou's typical regional economy is also a reason, such as electrical appliances in Liushi, auto parts under Tangxia, and overseas Chinese economy in Wencheng, all of which benefit from Wenzhou's mutual assistance.
