The impact of Shanghai Super Factory’s landing in mud towns on the development of the port area

In 2019, Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory completed mass production at lightning speed. This is China’s first 100 purely foreign-owned automobile company, and Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory is really It is located in the Yanfadang area in the south of Nicheng Town. A year ago, the mud town full of reeds was desolate. A year later, it was transformed into a modern Chinese factory of a leading new energy company. This is Lingang Speed.

Shanghai, the city that witnessed the first domestic joint venture car projects in the 1980s, is now home to a large number of automotive dreamers and engineers at home and abroad. It has been in the forefront for more than 30 years. Later, the door will be opened again to welcome guests from afar.

The area and production capacity of the Tesla factory in Fremont, California, are similar to those of the Shanghai factory after completion. Tesla’s factory in California currently has more than 10,000 employees, and it is expected that the Shanghai factory will also be able to directly It has brought an inflow of nearly 10,000 people to Lingang and job opportunities ranging from new energy vehicle manufacturing to research and development. According to foreign media reports on July 28, North American time, Tesla is conducting large-scale recruitment for its Chinese factory and R&D department, including plans to hire a group of designers and about 1,000 factory workers in China. According to Tesla internal staff, part of this recruitment activity is to prepare for the production of Model Y in the Shanghai factory, and part is also to speed up the development of local models.

The positions at Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory cover different business lines such as engineering research and development, manufacturing, supply chain, sales services, functional departments, IT, charging facilities, and styling design.

On July 3, 2020, Tesla’s Shanghai Lingang Gigafactory store held a grand opening ceremony. This Gigafactory store in Nicheng Town is the first Tesla store in the Lingang area and the only Tesla store in the country adjacent to the Gigafactory. The two places are only a 15-minute drive away from each other. The unique location greatly brings consumers closer to each other. Tesla's physical distance, psychological distance.

According to media reports, in the future, the Lingang Super Factory Experience Center will take advantage of its proximity to the factory and consider promoting store experience and factory tour models to drive the development of industrial tourism in the new area. Live streaming will also be considered.

As the "Yan'an of Pudong", Nicheng itself has red cultural genes. Coupled with the long history of the region and the area with many historically protected buildings in the four towns of Lingang, it is believed that it can become a tourist attraction in Lingang in the future. A new destination.

Just last November, the Tesla China factory located in Shanghai Lingang Industrial Zone welcomed a new neighbor, Bordrin Automobile. Bordrin Automobile is the only one in Shanghai besides SAIC and Tesla. A new energy vehicle company that has obtained development land.

Saint-Gobain Safety Glass (China) Co., Ltd. signed a contract with Lingang New Area in 2019. The company is one of the suppliers of Tesla's Shanghai factory and will provide supporting glass for the domestic Tesla Model 3 that will be put into production within the year. After Tesla’s Shanghai factory was located in Lingang, Saint-Gobain Safety Glass also located its Shanghai factory in Lingang New Area. This move is precisely to better serve Tesla and also to take advantage of Lingang’s industry. The cluster effect provides greater development opportunities.

In April 2020, the new energy vehicle key component project of Shanghai Lingang Changying New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lingang Changying"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Changying Precision, officially signed a contract and settled in Linggang. Port Industrial Zone. Lingang Changying will invest in the construction of a R&D, manufacturing and sales base for key components of new energy vehicles in the Lingang Industrial Zone, serving nearby new energy vehicle brand companies such as Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, SAIC, Geely, and CATL. The project plans to rent a factory building in Diamond Park, Lingang Industrial Park, with an area of ??about 16,000 square meters, mainly used for research and development, office, testing, and production.

The industrial agglomeration of intelligent connected new energy vehicles not only attracts companies in the automobile manufacturing industry chain, but also brings development opportunities to companies engaged in transportation services.

Nicheng Town is positioned as the living service base of Lingang Industrial Zone in the Lingang New Area. With the acceleration of industrial implementation, regional living facilities are becoming more and more complete. According to the public account of Nicheng Town "Hope Nicheng" According to the news, at present, the supporting facilities of Nicheng community are gradually improved. A kindergarten will be completed and put into use in 2020, a primary school will be put into use in 2020, and the other three schools are going through preliminary procedures; the community health service center will be put into use; and the construction of a community nursing home will begin. The urban business district center integrating shopping, catering, leisure, entertainment and business has begun to look impressive and has achieved initial results.

According to the planning of the Lingang New Area, the permanent population of the Lingang New Area will reach one million in 2025. It is believed that most of them will be high-end industrial manufacturing practitioners. From a social reality, all manufacturing industries tend to be concentrated. The economic competitiveness of cities or countries that have developed and has been significantly improved; while the economic competitiveness of cities or countries with a declining proportion of manufacturing and service industries has been significantly weakened. In the future, if Shanghai wants to build a strong manufacturing city and Lingang wants to build a high-end manufacturing cluster, policies must focus on supporting and developing the manufacturing industry and resist deindustrialization and hollowing out tendencies. The development of urban high-end manufacturing must match the city's innovation capabilities, which has become a basic law of modern urban development. It raises the development cost of high-end manufacturing and leads to the loss of high-quality resources and factors that are conducive to the construction and development of high-end manufacturing.

Lingang New Area is not a feast for real estate speculators, nor is it a sure-win choice for real estate speculators. Therefore, the future Lingang and the future Mucheng do not need real estate speculators and speculators. However, a large number of talents are needed to contribute to its construction and development. Lingang is open for talents!
