Ningbo is a new first-tier city, ranking among the top ten best commercial cities in Chinese mainland and the top 50 cities in China of Forbes! Why is Ningbo so rich?

The first is a good foundation and a strong private economy. Zhejiang's private economy is very developed, and Zhejiang's people are among the best in the country. The richest people in Zhejiang are Hangzhou, Ningbo and Wenzhou, and Ningbo is also very eye-catching. In modern times, Bao Yugang, a shipping magnate, Shao Yifu, the main founder of modern financial industry, Yu Qiaqing, a veteran shipping magnate in Shanghai, and Zhou Zongliang, the "king of pigments" in Shanghai, emerged in Ningbo.

According to the Hurun Wealth Report, there are 3 1 0.7 million households in Ningbo with assets above RMB 10 million, and1person in every 250 people in Ningbo is a multimillionaire, ranking among the 10 cities with the highest concentration of high-net-worth individuals above RMB 10 million. According to the Hurun Global Rich List of Shimao Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center in 2020, the five richest people in Ningbo have the lowest net assets of 22 billion yuan, and the first place is an astonishing 65.438+05.4 billion yuan. It can be said that Ningbo is a veritable land of wealth.

A strong private economy and a large number of rich people mean that local enterprises will create more jobs, and the first rich will drive the * * * rich to exist within a certain range. Entrepreneurs are not only one of the driving forces for urban development, but also one of the driving forces for activating local employment and income.

The data shows that private enterprises are the main force of Ningbo industry. In 20 19, the added value of private industry in the city was 2156.3 billion yuan, accounting for 54% of the total industrial added value. The added value increased by 8.5% year-on-year, higher than the city's 2. 1 percentage point, and contributed 70.4% to the city's industrial added value growth.

Second, Ningbo has developed early and has been continuing well. Ningbo has a long history. As early as more than 7,000 years ago, our ancestors flourished here and created a splendid Hemudu culture. In the 26th year of Tang Kaiyuan (738), Mingzhou was established, governing four counties: Zhizhi, Cixi, Fenghua and Wengshan. In the first year of Tang Changqing (82 1), the state government moved to Sanjiangkou (now Haishu District) and established Zicheng, which laid the foundation for the development of this city 1000 years.

Mingzhou Port, founded in Kaiyuan, was an international port in Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the history of the Maritime Silk Road, on the one hand, Ningbo is not only the southernmost exit of the Grand Canal in China, but also the midpoint of the mainland coastline and the intersection of the north and south currents, naturally forming a changing port in the maritime era; On the other hand, the trade of celadon, silk and green tea, which are three characteristic commodities in Ningbo, promoted the commercialization of agricultural production and made Ningbo one of the earliest handicraft clusters in China. Finally, due to the promotion of trade, Ningbo stood out from the Vietnamese culture and became a unique maritime commercial city in the 25th year of Kaiyuan in the prosperous Tang Dynasty (738). During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, porcelain gradually became the main export commodity, so it was also called "the road of marine ceramics". The three largest ports are Guangzhou, Ningbo and Quanzhou. Due to the geographical convenience of the port, the trade of Ningbo Port is mainly concentrated on the East China Sea route, that is, with businessmen from Japan and the Korean Peninsula.

In the Ming Dynasty, Ningbo people changed from maritime businessmen to domestic businessmen, engaged in medicine, clothing, north-south shipping, money houses and other industries, which made the rise of Ningbo gang in history. With the banner of "Siming Office" and the role of comprador and other emerging businessmen, Ningbo Gang linked Chinese and Western trade in China, invested in the development of modern industrial economy, and promoted the process of China's modernization.

In 20 13, Ningbo-Zhoushan port became the world's first port with 800 million tons, and remained the first in the world. This is a powerful strength and superior condition for building the 2 1 century Maritime Silk Road.

Third, Ningbo people are independent, bold, low-key and affordable. There is an old saying in Ningbo that "Yan Song's influence will also pass, and Yang Miao's' family note' (both sound and written language are family possessions) will also fail". Yang Miao is a very rich man. In modern words, he is a billionaire. This sentence is of great significance People in Ningbo think that you are rich and powerful now, but you will be defeated one day. Even if your generation is not defeated, your's descendants will be defeated one day, so it's better to keep a low profile. There is nothing to show off to others. At the same time, it also doomed Ningbo people to be frugal and helpful.

Furthermore, why are there more high-end expensive cars in Wenzhou than in Ningbo, and more intermediate cars in Ningbo than in Wenzhou? Comparing the absolute number of cars in the two cities, Ningbo is definitely more than Wenzhou. This is pragmatic and smart for Ningbo people.

In the early days of reform and opening-up, there were two modes of economic development in southern China that attracted national attention: one was Wenzhou mode focusing on developing private economy, and the other was Sunan mode focusing on developing collective economy. Both models promoted the rural reform and development at that time, and it was hard to say who was superior or inferior. So which model should we learn? The practice of Ningbo people is to learn from Wenzhou and southern Jiangsu and form their own development model. At that time, this model was called "four wheels turning together", that is, social office, team office, joint household office (cooperation and partnership) and family office were synchronized and developed together. From now on, it is called adhering to the public ownership economy, encouraging and supporting the development of the private economy, and going out of its own way.

Just like Ningbo people eat raw crabs that are "fresh in the world" and eat them directly after pickling for a few hours. Ningbo people also "dare to be the first in the world", dare to take risks and dare to explore.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is the innovative ability of Ningbo people!

Although Ningbo lags behind Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou and other cities in the number of unicorns, in the 20 19 China Gazelle Enterprise Data Report, 265 enterprises in Ningbo were shortlisted as "Gazelle" enterprises, ranking sixth in the Yangtze River Delta, while the number of start-ups ranked fifth in the Yangtze River Delta. 20 19 Yangtze river delta city innovation ranking, Ningbo ranked sixth.

However, it is worth noting that in 20 18, the permanent population of Ningbo increased by nearly 200,000, and the net inflow rate of population was the second in China! At the end of 20 19, the permanent population of Ningbo was 8.542 million, the third in the province, an increase of 340,000 over last year. Such Ningbo is young and energetic, and the influx of talents is also the cornerstone of its continued prosperity in the future.
