December 30, 2023Since the launch of the second batch of theme education, various departments in Nansha District have gradually turned the "accelerating Nansha and deepening the comprehensive cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao" proposed in the "Nansha Plan" into reality with various implementation measures. Recently, the reporter walked into Nansha Chuangxiang Bay, where Hong Kong and Macao youths started businesses and employment in an all-round way, and the "super contacts" of Guangdong and Hong Kong introduced "intelligence" and "system", and leveraged Hong Kong'......s professional service capabilities to help enterprises "go to sea together".The story that happened in this demonstration platform for deepening cooperation and innovation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao vividly reflects the measures and achievements of Nansha to build a demonstration zone for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao cooperation.
The heart of the Bay Area, the coast of the South China Sea, Nansha is joining hands with Hong Kong and Macao to sail to the world. Located on the banks of the Jiaomen River, Chuangxiang Bay is a window for Hong Kong and Macao young people to "get together" to start their own businesses, as well as for exchanges and cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. At present, Chuangxiangwan has settled in the Guangdong Provincial Association for the Promotion of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Youth Exchange, listed as the Hong Kong and Macao Youth Exchange Base of the Guangdong Political Consultative Conference, and settled in the Service Center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong Cooperation Advisory Committee in Nansha, Guangzhou, the Hong Kong and Macao Youth Five Music Service Center in Nansha District, Guangzhou, and 7 youth innovation bases from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. With "Chuangxiang Bay" as the leader, Nansha has built 13 innovation and entrepreneurship bases for Hong Kong and Macao youths. As of the end of October, more than 750 young people from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese have been attracted to Nansha for entrepreneurship and employment, and a total of 694 Hong Kong, Macao (Taiwan and overseas Chinese) youth entrepreneurship enterprises (projects) have been incubated.

"Let more young people seize the opportunities of Nansha's rapid development period".
The humorous and witty Sun Hongrui is a "Nansha Tong", and this Hong Kong young man who has been rooted in Nansha for 8 years can talk about Nansha's policies, industries, finance, living facilities and other aspects. "I started my business in Nansha in 2015, and I was interested in the policy advantages of the free trade zone and the comprehensive bonded zone. After the promulgation of the "Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" and the "Nansha Plan" in 2019, Nansha has ushered in more development opportunities," Sun Hongrui said, as one of the first young people to enter Nansha to start a business, he personally experienced the vast market space of Nansha, and he hopes to help more Hong Kong young people seize the opportunities of Nansha's rapid development.
Sun Hongrui's Nansha District Hong Kong and Macao Youth Five Music Service Center provides Hong Kong and Macao youths who come to Nansha to start a business and find employment. "We hope that the services we provide to young entrepreneurs are comprehensive and sustainable, not only in the early stage of entrepreneurship, but also in all aspects of residential life. From entrepreneurship to various guarantees for life, the efficiency of policy fulfillment provided by Nansha is ahead of the major cities in the Bay Area. Sun Hongrui said with emotion.
Wu Ganxuan, a young Macao entrepreneur who has been stationed in Chuangxiang Bay for more than one year, especially feels that Nansha has "escorted" youth entrepreneurship in an all-round way. In 2022, he came to Nansha and founded a media and culture company. He said that he chose to come to Nansha because he saw the huge performing arts market in the mainland, and Nansha was the best platform for him to go to the mainland. "In Nansha, we have connected with a lot of resources from Nansha and Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, which cannot be reached in Macao. Wu Ganxuan told reporters that since the beginning of this year, we have held more than 20 commercial performances in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, including "Pearl Bay 2023** Festival", "Hand in Hand with Hong Kong, Macao and Bay Area Youth Life Festival", "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Roller Skating Invitational Competition" and so on.
As a Macao company, when we first came to Nansha, we had a lot of confusion, such as in terms of company registration and taxation, the system in the mainland is very different from that of Macao, and the Hong Kong and Macao Youth Five Music Service Center, the District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Talent Cooperation Office and other departments have solved many entrepreneurial problems for me through policy briefings and other forms," said Wu Ganxuan.
In order to provide comprehensive employment services for entrepreneurial young people in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, Chuangxiangwan has set up the "Greater Bay Area Workplace Mentor Workstation" and the "Leye Know-it-all - Nansha District Hong Kong and Macao Residents Public Employment Comprehensive Service Platform". Up to now, Leye Besitong has carried out 14 online and offline policy publicity activities, provided policy guidance for 201 people, and served a total of 705 people. The person in charge of the relevant business of the Nansha District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau told reporters.
For the policy support for Hong Kong and Macao youth entrepreneurship, Nansha is also "doing what it says". In 2022, the "Ten Innovative Policies for Hong Kong and Macao Youth" was released, and the first in the country to create provisions such as "salary subsidy", "subsidy for technical titles and professional qualification certificates", "employment promotion incentives" and "one card to Nansha". The first batch of "Ten Innovative Measures for Hong Kong and Macao Youth" benefited 256 Hong Kong and Macao youths, with a pre-tax amount of 382210,000 yuan;22 units benefited, with an amount of 219580,000 yuan, a total of 601790,000 yuan", Gao Yuanqin, a staff member of the Youth League District Committee, introduced.

Hong Kong and Macao "think tank" to serve the needs of the development of various industries in Nansha
In October 2021, the Hong Kong/Guangdong Co-operation Advisory Committee (hereinafter referred to as "the Advisory Committee") was established in Chuangxiang Bay, with 24 members from Hong Kong and 15 from the Mainland having been appointed to establish a co-operation mechanism for exchanges with Hong Kong and Macao. The Advisory Committee has set up 14 special working groups to actively promote Hong Kong and Guangdong to take the lead in deepening co-operation in the fields of commerce and trade, finance, science and technology, and to build a "think tank", "staff department" and "super contact" for comprehensive cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong.
Since the launch of the second batch of thematic education, the Advisory Committee has held two lectures on "Guangdong-Hong Kong Monthly Lectures". Xu Zhangjun, Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Cooperation Office of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Development Zone, introduced that the "Guangdong-Hong Kong Monthly Talk" brand is organized by the Nansha leading departments of the 14 special working groups of the Advisory Committee every month, and relevant members, experts and industry representatives are invited to carry out interactive exchanges around industry hot spots, pain points and difficult topics. "The first and second phases of the event are themed 'Jointly Building an Asset Management Center in Nansha with Hong Kong' and 'Convergence of Professional Service Rules' respectively, and the members of each special group will be used as a 'think tank' to ask members to meet the needs of the development of various industries in Nansha," said Xu Zhangjun. "Hong Kong has great advantages in internationalization, especially in the fields of finance, commerce and trade, professional services, etc., Nansha wants to go to the world, and it is a convenient and efficient way to make good use of Hong Kong's 'think tank'," Xu Zhangjun told reporters.
Leverage Hong Kong's professional services capabilities
Help enterprises to "go to sea together".
The Nansha Plan clearly promotes the comprehensive cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao facing the world, and it is necessary to jointly build a high-level opening door to the outside world and build a comprehensive service base for Chinese enterprises to go global. Under the new development pattern of domestic and international dual circulation, more and more Chinese enterprises are going overseas, but in the process of "going global", they will face various compliance risks and poor investment information. On October 20 this year, the comprehensive service base for Chinese enterprises going out (hereinafter referred to as the "base") was unveiled in Beijing and included in the list of practical cooperation projects of the third "Belt and Road" Forum for International Cooperation, and the base has begun to operate physically. And this base is currently set up in Chuangxiang Bay. "The Nansha Plan clearly states that the construction of the base should work with Hong Kong and Macao to deepen cooperation and provide one-stop and all-round services for enterprises going global, including finance, taxation, finance, auditing, law, etc., which requires the participation of various professional service institutions and industry associations," said Qian Junping, head of the Bay Area Division of the Nansha District Development and Reform Bureau. The Hong Kong and Macao Business Association House, which was established in Chuangxiang Bay in March this year, has attracted 31 Hong Kong, Macao and international business associations. "These service providers from Hong Kong have rich experience in international financial and tax legal services, which can effectively help enterprises go global," said Qian Junping.
If domestic enterprises want to "go overseas", they also need to go through the relevant overseas investment filing (ODI) procedures in compliance under the guidance of policies before the funds can be legally and smoothly exported abroad. "The base is mainly based on government services and consulting services, and can connect enterprises with the tax bureau, customs and other first-class departments. At present, the base brings together the ODI (Overseas Investment Filing) data of Guangdong Province from 2018 to October this year to provide consulting services for the relevant problems encountered by enterprises in overseas investment", He Yinghua, deputy director of the base, told reporters that enterprises can contact all their upstream and downstream enterprises to come to the base for ODI training, which can effectively reduce the information gap in the industry. Up to now, the base has served a total of 72 enterprises, including 65 policy consulting services (a total of 119 consultations).7 professional services, covering the legal service needs of the Middle East, as well as consulting investment policies, human resources and other information in Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and other places.
