Geographical differences between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta

Differences between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta;

The leading role of the two places is different.

Generally speaking, business executives in the Yangtze River Delta believe that there is no "leader" in the Pearl River Delta, that is, the "leader effect" has not been well played in the Pearl River Delta, but in the Yangtze River Delta, the "leader effect" is very obvious.

Obviously, the Yangtze River Delta is a leading city driving two sub-centers, Nanjing and Hangzhou. Everyone is well aware of this model. The Pearl River Delta may be a polycentric pattern, with Hong Kong as one center, Shenzhen as one center and Guangzhou as another center. However, the future interaction between these three centers depends on the economic development trend and government policies.

The two places have different ways of thinking.

The biggest difference between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is the great difference in thinking modes between the two places. As the Pearl River Delta is adjacent to Hong Kong and other East Asian regions, its management and thinking mode are avant-garde, adventurous, innovative and pragmatic. In the Yangtze River Delta, especially in Shanghai, enterprises are smart and precise, and it is difficult to make bold and innovative practices.

Different talent levels

There are many bosses or rich people in Guangdong, and there are many white-collar workers and professional managers in Shanghai. There are many private enterprises in Guangdong and many multinational enterprises in Shanghai. However, because Guangdong people like to "go it alone", relying less on the power of the government and more on the market, it is difficult to see the phenomenon that enterprises unite to become bigger, and few enterprises go out of Guangdong and go to the whole country. In Shanghai, however, the degree of government intervention is greater, and there are often joint cooperation under the instructions of the government. In other words, enterprises in the Pearl River Delta prefer to develop one thing vertically, and then develop horizontally after deepening. Enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta like to develop things horizontally, that is, to become bigger first and then stronger.

Competition and cooperation between Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta

scramble for talents

The reality shows that the shortage of talent reserve in the Pearl River Delta is becoming the most important hidden danger for the future development of the Pearl River Delta Economic Belt. At the same time, the Yangtze River Delta, which embodies the human resources of many high value-added industries, is also anxious about how to provide more development space for high-quality talents. The demand and introduction of human resources has become the basis of competition and development between the two places.

Chen Yiqun, an old colleague of Lu Rongfa, deputy general manager of Galanz Group, believes that although the Yangtze River Delta has gathered a large number of talents, the Pearl River Delta has a strong commercial market environment and frequent exchanges of talents, which is unique in employing people.

Lv Chulong, vice president of Wanhe Group, also said that although the Yangtze River Delta is higher than the Pearl River Delta in terms of talent reserve and cultural heritage, the business leaders in the Pearl River Delta are good at making up for their mistakes with diligence and are open-minded, and the competition for talents has become the key to the development of * * *.

Professor Wang Fanghua, Dean of Antai School of Management, Shanghai Jiaotong University, pointed out that Shanghai produces white-collar workers and is good at management. The Pearl River Delta is an entrepreneurial boss. If the talents of the two places can complement each other, they will form a strong development force. Wang Fanghua also said that with the economic globalization, enterprises must first internationalize talents in order to develop, so that enterprises can face internationalization. Enterprises should look for top international talents from the perspective of international talent market. Enterprises in the Pearl River Delta also need to hire more international talents, especially in overseas marketing. But generally speaking, there is still a gap between the two places in the strategic training of international talents.

Industrial competition and cooperation

With the arrival of the global manufacturing center shifting to China, the division of labor between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is becoming more and more obvious. From the perspective of foreign-funded enterprises, if they want to make shoes or toys, they will set their factories in the Pearl River Delta, but if they want to make chips and other technical products, they will set their factories in the Yangtze River Delta.

Cheng Jiajie, former president of GE Hydropower Equipment in China, spoke bluntly about the misunderstanding of the current industrial structure in the Pearl River Delta. Enterprises in the Pearl River Delta have done a very fine and perfect job in daily chemical products, which can compete with the international level and have certain advantages in automobile industry and heavy industry. However, because the Pearl River Delta is not very clear about the technology competition strategy, many companies' R&D centers have settled in Shanghai. The Pearl River Delta gives people the impression that price competition is the mainstay, and more people are scrambling in a limited space instead of jumping out and taking the road of alliance.

Yu, vice president of Galanz, also believes: "The concentration of Guangdong enterprises is not enough, scattered, chaotic and small, and the overall level is low. Therefore, competition with international enterprises in terms of scale, equipment and talent construction is still insufficient. "

In fact, the Pearl River Delta economic chain, which is still dominated by labor-intensive work, has begun to differentiate in the industrial structure of China's big economy. With the influence of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, the Pearl River Delta has become the "leader" of consumer goods and export compensation trade in China under the advantage of labor intensity.

Cheng Jiajie believes that with the popularization of Internet application and the socialization of knowledge economy, the mastery of knowledge application will narrow the distance between industries, especially under the guidance of infrastructure construction, heavy industry and logistics policies in the Pearl River Delta, especially in Guangzhou, the complementary competition between industries in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta will become the main development trend.

Platform concurrency

In terms of the speed of economic development, Guangdong is relatively fast and dynamic; Shanghai is relatively stable and comprehensive; Facing market opportunities, Guangdong entrepreneurs are good at grasping market opportunities; Shanghai entrepreneurs are more cautious in investing. "Guangdong is pragmatic and Shanghai is flexible" When commenting on the development of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, Professor Wang Fanghua pointed out the biggest difference between enterprises in the two places.

Yu believes: "Shanghai is a big government and a small enterprise, and the atmosphere of free competition in Guangdong is relatively strong. The Pearl River Delta is very sensitive to market business opportunities, but it is not enough in the sense of being ahead of the times. To compete with large foreign companies, we must concentrate resources, and enterprises should move from a' competitive' state to a' competitive' state. At the same time, Yu said that the understanding of corporate brand and reputation is the biggest bottleneck for the development of enterprises in the two places. In the development of famous brand enterprises, there are many good brands in Guangdong and Shanghai, but they are far from the world famous brands. Therefore, building the competition and cooperation of brand platform and refining the division of labor in industrial chain will become the key to the future development of enterprises.

In addition, Chen, president of the comprehensive service agency for finished products and strategic products, believes that the cooperation between the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta is in urgent need of a platform, and the interoperability of the real estate industry may bring new business opportunities for cooperation. At present, there are three main modes of domestic real estate industry: Guangdong mode, Beijing mode and Shanghai mode. Guangdong's model is far ahead of Shanghai. The real estate in the Pearl River Delta developed 20 years ago, and the development of real estate in Shanghai is just this 10 year. Shanghai is still in the stage of introducing management and design experience from the Pearl River Delta. At the same time, the concepts of the two places are also different. Enterprises in the Pearl River Delta pursue the purpose, while enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta explore the process more. From the perspective of economic benefits, they admire the style of the Pearl River Delta more. Therefore, the exchange of real estate industry between the two places is more necessary.
