Zhang Weijian, County Magistrate of Tengchong County People's Government

1. Give full play to the effect of the birthplace of jade culture and activate the resource endowment of the jade industry

China's number one jadeite located in the southwest border of the motherland Chengtengchong has had unparalleled geographical and locational effects due to its jadeite since a long time ago.

The jade cultural effect derived from the jewelry and jade industry originated in Tengchong. Jade culture is an important part of Chinese jade culture. The saying "jade emerges from leaps and bounds, and jasper emerges from leaps and bounds" and the unique white jade Ancestral Hall in the country are the best interpretations of jade culture. Facts have proved that it was Tengchong merchants who first discovered and processed jade. After the unremitting efforts of countless Tengchong merchants and nearly 600 years of historical accumulation, today's unique jade economy and jade culture were finally formed. In particular, the jade culture produced in Tengchong became the Chinese jade culture. Made outstanding contributions.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Tengchong has been a famous Chinese border city integrating politics, military, economy, culture and transportation. It is also the center of border Han culture and the birthplace of jade culture. It has the effect of being the birthplace of jade culture. For hundreds of years, Tengchong has not only been a distribution center for many gemstone raw materials such as Burmese jadeite, ruby, and Sri Lankan golden-green cat's eye, but it was also a gemstone processing center in Southeast Asia. It is itself a heavy jadeite cultural heritage and a well-deserved dreamy jadeite. city. For hundreds of years, Tengchong people have embarked on an arduous and outstanding jade road for this purpose.

Historically, Tengchong’s jade industry resource endowment was so abundant and vivid. Tengchong and Myanmar are connected by mountains and rivers without natural barriers, and there are frequent exchanges between border residents of the two countries. Jadeite is produced in Myitkyina and Menggong (under the jurisdiction of the Mengguang Road Military and Civilian Prefecture in the Yuan Dynasty) in northern Myanmar. Jade comes from the Jinsha River in the south. It used to belong to Tengyue (now Tengchong) and was picked by the Yi people...; since the Yunnan opened in the Yuan Dynasty, for hundreds of years, jewelry, jade, agate, and amber produced in northern Myanmar, Due to the developed transportation, people from the mainland are paying more and more attention to it. Businessmen pick it up and sell it everywhere. Yunnan acts as an intermediary, and Tengchong is a hub, important post station and commercial port on the ancient Southwest Silk Road. Therefore, those who buy pearls and jade may often suspect Yunnan as the place of origin. After the Ming Dynasty, the Sino-Burmese border experienced peace and tranquility on the border. The people were at peace, the internal and external areas were purged, and many people from the military turned civilians and engaged in business. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, eight passes and nine passes were built in Tengyue, and merchants from the mainland came out to trade with each other. There were no less than a thousand people, and the Burmese people exchanged hundreds of thousands of pounds of copper for jewelry and jade.

From the perspective of development history, the history of Tengchong’s commerce and trade in the traditional sense is actually a history of jade. Tengchong has a long history of jade development and profound cultural heritage. In ancient times, there was a Tengyue jade brand called "Jade came out of Tengyue (today's Tengchong), active in China, and art spread all over the world." Xu Xiake, a great traveler of the Ming Dynasty, recorded in his "Travels to Tengyue" that "on the 25th, at dawn, Cui Jun came to wait for the rest of the meal, and went to the market with him to buy amber green worms. There was also a friend of Cui who was looking for life, and he led him there The family of the jade grinder wanted to grind the green raw stone (emerald) to seal the cup in the pond, but I didn't find it. I expected it to arrive tomorrow morning..." For nearly six hundred years, Tengchong people, who are full of pioneering and adventurous spirit, have been engaged in jade business from generation to generation, making Tengchong a famous hometown of overseas Chinese where "eighty-nine out of ten people do business". Tengchong is not only known as the first city in the world, but also has the reputation of Emerald City and Amber Arch Jade Bridge. In the long history of the development of Emerald City, not only Sanshenghao, Yuanshenghao, Baofahao, Hongshengxiang... … Maoheng and many other foreign trade firms have also created a large number of connoisseurs and jade carving masters. A number of multinational firms engaged in jewelry and jade have emerged one after another. The jade trade with Tengchong as the distribution center has radiated to five continents and thirty Multiple countries.

Tengchong County Magistrate Zhang Weijian delivered a speech

Tengchong jade has a long history. As early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Tengchong pioneered the processing of jade. Jade is native to northern Myanmar, and was under the jurisdiction of Tengyue in the Yuan, Ming and early Qing dynasties. Tengchong is the largest jade processing and distribution center in the world, with a processing history of nearly 600 years. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, the famous "Baojing Road and Jade Road" were opened along the ancient post roads from Yongchang and Tengyue to Myitkyina in Myanmar. Jade culture and jade culture have penetrated into every aspect of Tengchong people's life.

On the road to developing a characteristic industry base for jade and jade jewelry, Tengchong has made full use of its wide range of jade industry resource endowments.

As an important trading port on the southwest border, the ancient "Southern Silk Road" and the famous "Stilwell Trade" flourished. Due to Tengchong's unique geographical location, it is only 358 kilometers away from the jade origin, and it is within a considerable distance. During the historical period, Tengchong became almost the only channel for Burmese jade to enter China, accounting for almost 90% of the world's jade trading volume. During the Qing Dynasty, overseas Chinese in Tengchong operated jade factories on a large scale, and many companies such as Mao Yingde, Cun Zunfu, and Zhang Baoting emerged. In history, Tengchong's Duan Jiayu, Qiluo Jade, Guansi Jade, Zhenkun Jade, Wang Jiayu, Ma Jiayu and other beautiful jade and famous jade competed for beauty. The Jade King was well-known at home and abroad in the early 20th century. Tengchong's jade and jade trading volume. The import volume of jade increased greatly, from 271 tons in 1902 to 628 tons in 1911, and to 801 tons in 1917. More than 20,000 mules and horses traveled between Tengchong and Myanmar every year, and Burmese jewelry and jade continued to enter Tengchong. Jade processing reached its peak. In the early Republic of China, there were more than 100 jade carving workshops with more than 3,000 craftsmen. At that time, "Xiaoyue City" in Tengchong City was a gathering place for jewelry merchants, with hundreds of jade carving workshops connected together. , with a dazzling array of rubies, sapphires, and jade carvings, as well as high, high, and low-end goods, it is known as the "Treasure Street."

"In the past, the prosperous Baibao Street, the powerful merchants brought in the money; the amber archway and the jade bridge" are a true portrayal of Tengchong's prosperity at that time. Before the fall of Tengchong during the Anti-Japanese War, the shops on Baibao Street in Xiaoyue City were all connected together, and high, medium and low-end jade products were fully stocked. Even though the country was in a state of war, business was still very prosperous. At that time, Tengchong was mostly a "store in front and factory in back" format, with "family stores and mom-and-pop shops" mostly in the majority. There were also relatively large specialized workshops with large production scale and extremely fine division of labor. There are jade craftsmen, fine flower jade craftsmen, jade gongyan craftsmen, jade light craftsmen, large jade craftsmen, small jade craftsmen, etc. It can be said that these craftsmen, shops and all the prosperity have inherited the concept of jade culture and become the resource endowment of today's jade industry.

In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, after palace officials acquired jade, they often processed it on site in Tengchong and made it into court uniforms, cap beads on official hats, jade pieces inlaid on jade belts, jade plaques, and other items for wearing. The jade finger on the hand; the workshop processes a large number of folk jewelry, including jade hostas, bracelets, earrings, rings, jade locks, jade arhats, jade eight immortals, jade beads, etc., forming a one-stop processing and sales process. There is even a lot of money spent on rough stone gambling, which makes jewelers flock to it. Hundreds of years later, today, Jade City has built four professional streets including Tengyue Jade City, Tengyue Jewelry City, Wenxing Pedestrian Street and Tengchong Jewelry and Jade Trading Center, as well as an jade processing center 24 kilometers away from the county seat. ——Hehua Township Jade Center. On May 15, 2007, Hui Liangyu, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Vice Premier of the State Council, visited Tengchong. Vice Premier Hui Liangyu and his delegation went to Hehua Township, which is famous for its processing of jade, to inspect the jade industry and carefully learn about the jade processing industry. their production and living conditions.

Tengchong has unique border advantages and jade industry resource endowments. It is the closest place to the origin of jade, with convenient access and historical jade business travel routes; it has a long tradition of jade culture and has The jade culture of Tengchong has been passed down from generation to generation; it has a long history of jade processing and distribution, and a network that integrates jade distribution, design, and processing to improve each other. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, 90% of the world's jade trade and processing was in Tengchong. Today, it is still the center of the world's jade trade, with a large amount of jade from Tengchong to Southeast Asia. It can be said that Tengchong is well-deserved to be named "China's No. 1 Emerald City".

2. Ensure the reasonable flow of industrial factors and achieve the overall benefit multiplier effect

Although the prosperity of the ancient Southwest Silk Road has become a thing of the past, the historical and realistic aspirations have not been affected by this. However, the potential of Tengchong's jade industry built on a large commercial port is still advancing with the times.

From 1932 to 1942, the jade carving industry in Tengchong gradually declined. On the eve of the fall of the Anti-Japanese War, the number of jade carving workshops was reduced to more than 40. After the founding of New China, the sources of jade decreased, sales were sluggish, and the number of practitioners decreased significantly. Before the 1950s, jade produced in Myanmar was shipped to Tengchong for distribution, accounting for 90% of the world's jade trade. From 1950 to 1954, there were only 16 households with 24 employees, and production was intermittent. In 1956, more than 20 people participated in the jade production cooperative. From 1961 to 1965, jade production developed. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, jade carving processing was at a standstill. In 1973, the county arts and crafts factory was established, and the jade carving factories on the 1st to 6th streets of the county also performed processing. In 1975, 68,700 pieces of jade were produced. In 1979, the annual output was 76,400 units. In 1985, the annual output was 10,900 pieces, with an output value of 271,700 yuan. From 1974 to 1985, more than 630,000 pieces were processed, and many individual artists also participated in jade processing. In October 2006, in the second China Jade Hundred Flowers Award selection event, the exquisite jade carvings created by Tengchong jade carvers won one gold and one bronze.

Economic growth patterns vary with different resource endowments. Since the 1950s, due to historical reasons, border trade between Tengchong and Tengchong has been forced to stop, and jade import channels have also been closed. In 1981, Tengchong resumed small-scale border trade, and Tengchong border trade enterprises gradually imported jade from Myanmar. In the early 1990s, with the restoration and opening of the highway from Tengchong to Myitkyina, Myanmar, the jade industry in Tengchong was revived. In 1996, jade imports reached their peak since the reform and opening up, with the import volume reaching 348,000 kilograms and the import value reaching 140 million yuan, accounting for approximately 70% of the national import volume at that time. There are more than 100 jade companies in the county, more than 600 processing households, and more than 10,000 employees. The jade and jade industry is booming in urban and rural areas. Since 1998, the Myanmar government has allowed jade to be exported from Yangon in the form of bulk trade. However, the import channels for Yunnan jade are not smooth, the import tax is high, the procedures are cumbersome, and the management method cannot adapt to the changes in the market economy. The once prosperous The jade trade has reached a trough, which is extremely inconsistent with Tengchong's natural resource advantages and the historical status of the "Emerald City". However, for the people of the Emerald City who are full of the spirit of "poor people go to the jade field", they will work hard to overcome the low contribution rate of total factor productivity to economic growth in the future, and only rely on increasing investment without any investment. Efficiency-enhancing economic growth leads to poor returns.

The original method of jade processing

In recent years, the Tengchong County Party Committee and County Government have regarded the jade industry as a backbone industry, strived to create a business environment, increased investment attraction, and strengthened market supervision. , firmly establish the brand awareness of "Tengyue Jade". In 2005, the company had more than 50 operating rights, 400 processing households, and more than 180 operating stores, with an annual output value of more than 100 million yuan and annual sales of about 200 million yuan.

The Hehua Township Jade Carving Professional Cooperative, established in July 2005, has more than 40 member households. There are 36 large-scale jade carving centers for processing and sales. The Hehua Township Party Committee, the township government and relevant departments have invested more than 1.5 million yuan in the Hehua Township Passenger Station covering an area of ??4.7 acres to build a Hehua Township that can accommodate 42 households with processing and shops. The Jade Center is expected to be completed and put into use in February 2008. Up to now, more than 100 farmers' jade processing households have moved from Banpo Jade Carving Village to Xiangjie in Hehua Dai and Wa Nationality Township, 24 kilometers away from the county seat.

Modern methods of jade processing

The scale effect of Tengchong’s jade industry has initially taken shape. In particular, ASEAN and China are in the process of transforming the economic growth model from extensive management to intensive management. To achieve this transformation, Tengchong needs to continuously carry out technological innovation, product innovation, system innovation and management innovation to improve all factors. Productivity becomes extremely important.

In the past seven or eight years, Tengchong has regarded the jade industry as an advantageous project to attract foreign investment. A group of enterprises with certain strength have taken root in Tengchong and actively pursued the development of the jade industry. They have successively built the Jewelry Trading Center and Tengyue Jade. City, Wenxing Pedestrian Street and several other professional jade markets; Guanfang Group is building the "Tengchong Jade Culture, Trade and Economic Park", and has built the first international jewelry art college in Yunnan Province with Kunming University of Science and Technology, which will soon recruit students; Tengchong Yi Jade Construction The first phase of the Jade Ancient Town project is completed and is open for leasing, which will reproduce the image of Tengchong's "Amber Arch Jade Bridge"; Tengchong County Federation of Industry and Commerce strongly supports Hubei Dongfang Jinyu Company to help implement the jade processing transaction covering an area of ??41.4 acres and a construction area of ??more than 30,000 square meters The center is now under construction. After completion, the jade trading center will become a well-known trading center in Asia integrating the acquisition, auction, processing, sales and display of jade raw materials, as well as embodying jade culture and jade carving art. The themed Jade Culture Park integrates the Jade Museum, Jade Culture Center, and China Jade Sculpture Art Museum. It can be said that the Tengchong jade industry is in a golden and critical period of accelerated development.

Because of cooperation and linkage, complementary advantages, and integration of industry advantageous resources, the multiplier effect of overall benefits is ultimately achieved. From 2001 to the present, it has successively introduced five well-known companies, including Tengyue Jade City Co., Ltd., Yunnan Bailian Heshun Tourism Development Co., Ltd., Yunnan Guanfang Group Tengchong Development Co., Ltd., Tengchong Yi Jade Tourism Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Hubei Dongfang Jinyu Company. Foreign enterprises with strong economic strength settled in Tengchong to develop the jade industry, which injected new vitality into the development of Tengchong's jade industry. Tengchong's jade industry gradually developed and expanded, and basically formed a jade business park integrating processing, sales, theoretical seminars, and cultural cultivation. The multiplier effect to achieve overall benefits is maturing. Tengchong has 24 companies and firms with the right to operate jadeite, and 245 jade processing households. Currently, there are more than 600 jadeite companies in Tengchong, and there are even more individual industrial and commercial households. If you go to the Jade Industry and Trade Street in the Jade Trade City, you will find that this place is all about jade; there are more than 500 households operating stores, with more than 10,000 employees, and an annual output value of about more than 300 million yuan.

3. Give full play to the advantages along the South Asia Grand Corridor and organize production factors according to market demand

The construction of the Grand Corridor is not a simple transportation concept. Form a system, form a network, and provide supporting facilities. Tengchong began to open to the outside world as early as 1826. It has a long and long history and has very distinctive and unique features of ancient roads and business information among its production factors. In the process of advancing the First Emerald City, Tengchong has always adhered to the trend of promoting large-scale development through large channels in building a new regional economic order.

Promote development through openness. Tengchong's jade industry seizes the characteristics of opening to the outside world and analyzes it from the perspective of channel construction. The modern history of Tengchong's transportation development is actually a history of opening to the outside world. In a sense, it is a history of the development of jade carvings. The brilliance of jade to Tengchong has always been reflected in the different levels and wide areas of opening to the outside world. Tengchong was an important stop on the ancient Southern Silk Road. This road was earlier than the Silk Road in the north and the Maritime Silk Road in the south. It was an important channel for China to connect the Indian and Pakistani continents at that time. Some people say that the Emerald City was brought to the Emerald City by caravans, because in modern times a large amount of material resources were continuously transferred to the border town of Tengchong, and a large amount of materials passed through the Tengchong port flowed to Myanmar and India, and went to the world through the Indo-China mainland. Therefore, Tengchong became It was an important commercial capital and jade processing center at that time. In modern times, with the opening of the Burma Highway (China-India Highway), a highway passed through Baojing Road and Yushi Road, highlighting Tengchong's important position in the international corridor. This highway ran through all the production factors of the entire jade market. Tengchong's location effect and geographical effect have made it a distribution center for jade products. With the implementation of my country's Southbound Mutual Benefit Strategy, after Yunnan Province established the development idea of ??"facing South Asia and Southeast Asia", Baoshan took the lead in proposing the strategic concept of "Yunnan goes to South Asia, Baoshan takes the lead", and Tengchong County put its own development Think about it in the context of the country's and Yunnan's grand strategy of opening up to South Asia. The mutual opening and integration between regions are achieved through the flow of goods, capital, technology, labor services, etc. Considering the geographical scope and breadth of integration, sub-regional integration will gradually form.

Therefore, we must make full use of the location advantage of Huotengchong as a bridgehead for opening up to South Asia, comprehensively promote the construction of highways, aviation, railway transportation and other hardware, actively build a transportation network opening up for South Asia, and boldly propose to build "China's first county towards South Asia" "strategic concept. Today, in addition to the national first-class port - Houqiao Port, Tengchong also has 16 border crossings such as Diantan, Autonomous and Sancha River, which is the frontier of trade between China and Myanmar. Therefore, making good use of Tengchong's edge effect and port effect will provide opportunities and conditions for the rapid development of Tengchong's jade industry, so that the jade industry that has experienced a long process from prosperity to decline will regain its glory, and the historical status of Tengchong World Jade Mall will be restored. recovery.

Vice-Premier Hui Liangyu inspected Tengchong Jade Industry (back is Tengchong County Magistrate Zhang Weijian)

In order to make the jade industry bigger and stronger and recreate the glory of the World Jade Mall, Jade was established As a commercial and processing special zone, Tengchong County gives full play to its cutting-edge and avant-garde role, coordinates regional development, and does basic work in market allocation of resources. Tengchong County has always adhered to the strategy of moving towards South Asia, taking the China-Myanmar-India Highway passing through Tengchong as an opportunity to open up and expand the results of opening up; comprehensively upgrade Tengchong's industrial level, and vigorously cultivate the important production of the jade pillar industry that can support Tengchong's economy elements.

Currently, as Tengchong’s infrastructure continues to improve and various construction projects are advanced, Tengchong’s jade industry is once again facing rare development opportunities. In recent years, Tengchong has seized the development opportunities provided by Yunnan's implementation of the "Going to South Asia" strategy and launched the construction of an international corridor. Tengchong’s location effect is becoming increasingly obvious in the construction of the South Asia International Corridor. If calculated based on the mileage of highway construction from Kunming to Tengchong County under the jurisdiction of Baoshan City and the mileage of secondary highway construction from Tengchong to Myitkyina, it only takes only About 1,200 kilometers, which is nearly 4,800 kilometers compared to the 6,000 kilometers of sea route that bypasses the Strait of Malacca. If all high-grade highways are built, the whole journey from Kunming to Ledo will only take more than ten hours. It can be seen that the China-Myanmar-India Highway passing through Tengchong will be the most convenient land passage connecting China and India, the two countries with the largest population and fastest economic development in the world. It will also be the most convenient way for China to communicate with the South Asian subcontinent. bridge. Today, the secondary oil road from Tengchong to Banwa, Myanmar has been completed and opened to traffic; the secondary oil road from Tengchong to Myitkyina, Myanmar has been opened to traffic; Tengchong Tuofeng Airport has been approved by the State Council and will be completed and opened to traffic in 2008; the Baoshan to Tengchong Expressway will start construction next year. Focusing on the two major goals of building Tengchong into a "regional international tourism hub connecting western and southwestern Yunnan internally and connecting South Asia and Southeast Asia externally" and becoming a "famous tourist destination in China", we will rely on location and resource advantages to increase investment With the efforts to attract investment, a number of large enterprises and groups have been introduced to build high-quality tourist areas. Tengchong jade tourism has become increasingly popular and its popularity continues to increase. Jade has become an endorsement of Tengchong tourism; in 2006, the number of domestic and foreign tourists visiting Tengchong reached 2.449 million people. Driven by the rapid development of tourism, jade has become Tengchong’s image product and important tourism endorsement. It can be regarded as a major characteristic industry of Tengchong. The development of tourism to buy jade and visit the Emerald City will undoubtedly bring a broad market space. Realize the powerful combination of tourism and jade industry. Tengchong's status and development speed in China's strategy of moving toward South Asia have attracted attention at all levels and from the outside world. This provides good conditions for the accelerated development of Tengchong's jade industry and lays a solid market foundation.

Jadeite is only produced in northern Myanmar. Tengchong is connected to the mountains and rivers of Myanmar and is only more than 300 kilometers away from the origin of jadeite. This is nearly 1,000 kilometers away from Myanmar via Yangon and more than 1,400 kilometers away from Chiang Mai, Thailand. meters, Tengchong has obvious location advantages. In April 2007, with the completion and opening of the overseas section of the Tengchong-Myitkyina highway in Myanmar, this was "the first time in the history of Yunnan's opening up that the city and county governments and the Myanmar government facilitated the construction of this highway" and the "Yunnan International Corridor" "For the first time in the history of construction, a high-level transnational highway was built with local self-finance", which marks a leapfrog development in the construction of large channels, and a large amount of jade raw materials will enter Tengchong more conveniently. With the opening of the airport, it will be faster, more efficient and safer for domestic and foreign jade merchants to carry out business activities in Tengchong. In accordance with the Agreement on Trade in Goods of the ASEAN Free Trade Area, the "Common Effective General Preferential Tariff (CEPT)" is implemented. Among the 7,000 products in China and ASEAN that have been significantly reduced in tariffs, exempted from quotas, and other market access conditions have been further improved. , Jade jewelry is used as one of them, and it is expected that the integration of production factors in the first city of Jade will be realized. With the implementation of the country's western development and southward mutually beneficial strategies and the continuous development of various undertakings, foreign trade and Tengchong Jade Tourism will become pillar industries and new economic growth points, while Tengchong Jade is a new initiative in the regional economy. It has become a top priority to carry out overseas tourism, open up the international channel of South Asia and promote the development of regional jade economy.

In April 2007, the opening ceremony of the outer section of the highway from Tengchong, China to Myitkyina, Myanmar was grandly held in Kambaidi, an important border town in Myitkyina, Kachin State, Myanmar

Tengchong and Myanmar The people's emotions blend together, their customs and cultures are connected, and the border residents live in harmony. In the long-term development process of the jade industry, a unique Paukphaw friendship that transcends national boundaries and regions has been formed.

In addition, in recent years, it has focused on exchanges with Myanmar, and has organized more than 40 delegations at the city and county levels to visit Myanmar. The level of cooperation with Myanmar has continued to improve, the areas of cooperation have continued to expand, and the relationship between the two parties has become stronger. The central government of Myanmar has opened up northern Myanmar to the outside world. Attracting great attention, a series of preferential policies were introduced, a trade exhibition area with the characteristics of China and Southeast Asian countries was built, and the Heinitang border area in Tengchong was built, etc., and the Myanmar government agreed to open the Kambaidi Port adjacent to China. It is a national port equivalent to China's Houqiao Port, which has improved the scale and level of trade. Improve relations with Myanmar and restore Tengchong’s jade processing and distribution functions. Tengchong, which is closest to the origin of jade in the world, was once the largest distribution center for jade in Myanmar. Due to history and war, it fell silent for decades. At present, we must seize the opportunity of the gradual improvement of relations between Tengchong and Myanmar and the development of the Tengmi Road corridor, and take measures to expand the import channels of jade raw materials, increase the import quantity, simplify port import procedures, reduce import and operation taxes and fees, and reduce operating costs. cost, enhance market competitiveness, and create conditions for the accelerated development of Tengchong’s jade industry.

Four. Form a development-led industrial model and promote information-oriented industrial collaboration

With the sustained, rapid and healthy development of the domestic economy, the Tengchong County People’s Government has established a strategic partnership with relevant departments at all levels to With the support of the government, the jade characteristic industry has been included in the development plan, and the resource endowment of the jade industry has been fully utilized. The advantages of the jade industry cluster have gradually been brought into play, and the industry has been included in the national jewelry industry characteristic resource processing base, accelerating the effective integration of resources, and showing good results. situation.

As a leading industry in Tengchong, the jade industry in Tengchong seeks new development space in many ways, vigorously promotes regional jade industry collaboration, implements complementarity and structural cooperation, and uses structural cooperation as the basis. Mainly; insist on focusing on private jade processing cooperation, supplemented by government cooperation, forming a certain level of structural optimization, diversification, integration, and interactive jade industry collaboration relationships, and improving processing value-added capabilities. For the labor-intensive industry of jade processing industry, efforts should be made to improve the upgrading of the regional jade industry structure and the regional international competitiveness of jade, combine jade culture and modern business concepts, innovate business concepts and innovative marketing models, and implement chain operations across the country. Unify the logo, unify the publicity, unify the selling price, unify the after-sales service, build a marketing network based in Tengchong covering all major and medium-sized cities across the country, expand the market space, increase the market share, and strive to build the Tengyue Jade brand into a nationally renowned brand and move towards International market; implement the three major strategies of enterprise development through science and technology, scale and brand development, effectively increase policy support, and strive to build the Tengyue jade brand; in order to achieve the coordinated development of the jade regional economy, actively reflect and strive for the establishment of jewelry and jade in certain areas The processing trade bonded zone shall be given relevant preferential policies to the bonded zone, give full play to the trade, storage and processing functions of the bonded zone, and handle relevant legal procedures such as re-export trade, activate the market, vigorously introduce funds, technology and talents, expand the scale of processing and improve the level of technology. In terms of improving industrial competition, establish a scientific and technological innovation system, a logistics system, and a technical appraisal system, build a service platform, introduce a group of high-level talents, and transform into cultivating independent innovative talents. Take the road of introduction and independent training, and build a team with strict management. , a talented team with excellent technology and services that are in line with international standards. In terms of optimizing and upgrading the jade industry structure, we will expand the industrial scale, extend the industrial chain, improve technology levels, increase product added value, improve quality and efficiency, strengthen market terminal competitiveness, and ultimately form a development-led industrial model. We strive to make Tengchong's jadeite industry output value account for more than 10% of the province's jewelry and jade industry output value by 2010, strive to develop Tengchong into an important jadeite trading market and processing distribution center in the world, and re-establish the important historical position of the world's jadeite mall.

As the construction of the Tengchong economic and trade corridor continues to be strengthened, on the basis of developing bilateral jade trade, we are paying attention to both the integration of factors in the regional jade economy and the promotion of jade regional economic cooperation methods. The excavation, packaging and promotion of jade culture have made it the core symbol of Tengchong tourism, cultural visibility and externalization. Moreover, the special brand "Tengyue Jade", which embodies the efforts and wisdom of generations of Tengchong people, is gaining popularity day by day. In order to maintain and enhance this long-standing brand and carry forward the traditional virtue of integrity in the Tengchong jade market, the Tengchong County Government publicly promises to the society: There are no fakes in Tengchong jade; with the promise of "100 compensation for every fake", Tengchong jade only has A quality, not B or C quality. Unify the "Tengyue Jade" logo, rectify and standardize market order, strengthen industry supervision, and require all merchants to consciously maintain the "Tengyue Jade" brand. Through a series of measures, the "Tengyue Jade" brand is well-known both inside and outside the province. Tengchong Jade is increasingly favored by the world for its advantages of good quality and affordable price. Tengyue Jade chain stores have also entered Nanjing, Yangzhou and other places. In September 2005, Tengchong was awarded the title of "China's No. 1 Jade City"; in November 2006, Tengchong was awarded the title of "China's Characteristic Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Base".

On the basis of forming a development-led industrial model, Tengchong County has built a regional jade industry collaboration system, focusing on leveraging the advantageous combination of all parties in resources, technology, capital, labor and other aspects, and fully mobilizing the collaboration of all parties. initiative, and establish a coordination mechanism for the government to set up a stage for enterprises to perform.

Through the reorganization of jade industry resources and the sharing of information resources to promote regional informatization construction, the Tengchong County People's Government Office took the lead in building the "Jade Online" professional website (website: ), a sub-site of the Tengchong Government Affairs Network, to provide services for the Tengchong jade industry It has established an economic information platform, built a space for the government to contact the industry, strengthened information exchange on mutual trust and cooperation, and created conditions for expanding new areas of jade trading and technical cooperation from the industrial information space.

From the perspective of promoting information-oriented industrial collaboration, and judging from the relationship between Pan-Pearl River Delta and ASEAN’s eagerness to connect, Tengchong has a certain degree of business information, resource information and service information resource endowment. Tengchong is building Jade City A large platform for business information exchange, realizing the sharing of resources and striving to promote the improvement of regional economic cooperation methods.
