Only when the business environment is good can existing companies be retained and develop well, and only then can foreign companies want to come in and start businesses. The country, provinces, and municipalities have repeatedly emphasized that deepening the reform of “decentralizing power, delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, optimizing regulation, and optimizing services” are the starting point, and more “hard-core” measures will be introduced to continue to stimulate market vitality and social creativity.

His Zijin Central Kitchen project was formally established and a commitment agreement was signed. The project was put into operation on December 31 of that year, creating a well-known "Zijin Speed" since the reform of the commercial system in Lanzhou New District.

“Before the reform, it took at least 180 working days just to go through the preparatory procedures. After the implementation of the commitment system, the new district issued a temporary construction permit. During the project construction period, we implemented the most stringent procedures. The project was planned and constructed according to national standards, and all procedures were gradually improved before the project was completed. As a full-industry chain food processing enterprise, it only took 6 months from project establishment to production, which is a miracle that cannot be imagined in other places. ! This has saved our investment budget by nearly 30%."

It is understood that Lanzhou New District is the first in the province and even in the northwest region to implement the "commitment system" for enterprise investment projects and "zero charges for enterprise-related administrative fees."

The approval time limit has been reduced from the original 137 working days to 40 working days, the early project costs have dropped by 70%, and the comprehensive cost burden for enterprises is the lowest in the province. Vigorously promote the "informatization" of administrative examination and approval and "zero errands" for the entire process, providing enterprises with "one-stop" services and greatly improving administrative efficiency.

“Gansu Zijin Industrial Group is an enterprise that has grown up together with the new district. When the new district was approved in 2012, we were already based in the new district, starting with land leveling excavators, and with the development of the new district With the rapid development, Zijin Group has also achieved rapid development, from small to large, from weak to strong. The company's turnover has also increased from the initial tens of millions to more than 1 billion now." Tang Jianguo said, Zijin's development has grown. Benefit from the high-quality development of Lanzhou New District and the good political and enterprise environment in Lanzhou New District. The team of cadres in Lanzhou New District is younger.

The business windows are clear and well-organized, with free copy and scanning areas, rest areas, drinking fountains and other facilities Everything is available; in front of the window unit, the waiting time of two and a half hours during the lunch break now only takes one hour to continue processing...

“In the past, when we came to do business, what we were most afraid of was not getting it done in the morning. It’s over, it’ll be postponed until the afternoon.” Li Aijie, who came to handle the invoice business, “complained” to reporters. The main problem is that the wait time at noon is too long. We rushed here early in the morning, and once it goes past 12 o’clock, we have to wait for another two and a half days. Hour. There was no place to go at noon, so I had to sit in the lobby and "wait". All the time was spent here, which was really time-consuming and energy-consuming.

At 1:00 noon on April 3, what the reporter saw at the Lanzhou New District Government Service Center was that all employees of the window unit who were supposed to be on lunch break were "online" to provide services to citizens and enterprises.

"It's really much more convenient now. If we haven't finished our business in the morning, we can just have a meal outside at noon and then come over and continue to do it. We no longer have to wait like in the past, which saves us time." Li Buda, a citizen who came to handle business, said I am very satisfied with the "new changes" of the Government Service Center.

Li Zecheng, a courier from the EMS New District branch, has also become a "beneficiary" of the new district's government service reform. Since May last year, the new district has launched an EMS express delivery service. Some businesses need to wait half a day to be processed. The clerk leaves the delivery address at the window, and sends the certificate directly back to the office after it is processed. In the past few months, he has been traveling between the New District Government Affairs Hall and various offices and has become Li Zecheng's "big customer".

Hou Chengwu, the person in charge of the New District Government Affairs Hall, said that the New District Government Affairs Hall is actively coordinating the new district's finances and striving to ensure that future express delivery costs will be paid by the new district's financial funds, so that this part of the cost can be saved for the staff.

For large electricity consumers like us, low cost of comprehensive production factors in all aspects is also what we value.

The cost of various production factors in the initial stage of establishment of a company is an account that every company must calculate. "We have also made comparisons with other national-level new areas such as Xixian New Area, Gui'an New Area, and Liangjiang New Area. Regardless of land prices, gas prices, electricity prices, water fees, and tax burdens, Lanzhou New District's comprehensive production factor costs are indeed comparable. This is very attractive to enterprises," Su Chunwu, financial manager of YOFC Lanzhou Co., Ltd. told reporters.

In the early stages of investment and construction of factories, all aspects of the new district have been connected with the State Grid and other power supply departments to strive for preferential electricity prices for electricity-consuming enterprises entering the area, with each penny reduced. The electricity price was finally determined to be Industrial electricity consumption is 0.54 yuan per kilowatt hour. "Regardless of the cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity, for our company, which consumes more than 6 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, it means a cost reduction of hundreds of thousands or millions." Su Chunwu said.

Recently, the new district has introduced new measures to reduce production factors, giving electricity-consuming enterprises different subsidies per kilowatt-hour of electricity according to the amount of electricity consumed by the enterprise throughout the year. In the next step, the New District Economic Cooperation Bureau will give full play to the new idea of ??"attracting investment through business", focus on the introduction of upstream and downstream related enterprises in the district, further shorten the distance between the district enterprises and upstream and downstream enterprises, and further reduce production costs. Build Lanzhou New District into a national-level new district with the lowest cost of production factors in the country.
