In Suzhou, where the private economy contributes more than 50% of the city's total economic output, the confidence and resilience of economic development come from the new force of conscientious enterprises. Jiangsu Wuzhong Group, which has been shortlisted for 14 consecutive times in the list of China's top 500 private enterprises, is one of them.
Only ever-new can be evergreen. Over the past 30 years, the group has always adhered to the corporate vision of "serving your better life", and kept pace with the times on the road of industrial strategic transformation. In addition to continuing to deepen pillar industries such as financial services, high-end automobile sales, water supply services, urban renewal, and manufacturing, in recent years, it has closely followed the national strategy and market demand, and actively and scientifically laid out a number of "new economy and new tracks" such as industrial park operation, education, and health care. "Create something out of nothing, create something out of nothing", this sentence is familiar within Wuzhong Group, which shows the "youth code" that has always maintained an upward attitude.
Build a home for the enterprise and paint the beauty of the industry
Recently, the list of the first batch of high-tech enterprises in Jiangsu Province for 2023 was announced. In the southwest of Suzhou City, the first industrial park Wangshan enterprise headquarters Hong Kong came to the good news: Suzhou Lisote automation equipment, Suzhou Yuande Youqin Medical Laboratory, Suzhou Yisida Environmental Protection Technology, Dongmei (Suzhou) Industry, was successfully selected. From industrial wasteland to high-tech enterprises, the reputation of Wangshan Enterprise Headquarters Port is getting louder and louder.
Ten years ago, with the increasing changes in the industrial pattern and environmental protection pressure in the Taihu Lake Basin, the transformation and upgrading of the biomedical industry has become inevitable. "On the one hand, the special requirements of property space have become a 'growing pain' for many biomedical companies;On the other hand, as the outer entity of the strategic investment department of Wuzhong Group, Wuzhong Hi-Tech Venture Capital holds 347 acres of industrial land at the foot of Wangshan Mountain, how to use and operate such a high-quality and scarce industrial land resources, and at the same time can combine venture capital functions, has become an urgent problem to be solved by the Wuzhong Hi-Tech team. Liu Jian, general manager of the first industrial park, said that in this context, the "first industrial park" brand was born in Wangshan, opening a new track of industrial real estate.
Based on the characteristics of regional industries, starting with biomedicine, it attracted relevant inspection and testing, R&D, service, outsourcing and other enterprises, and at the same time, with the help of the active east wind of China's capital market at that time, it was committed to building the headquarters park of listed companies. Since then, the Wangshan Enterprise Headquarters Port has been born out of the Wangshan Life Park. Today, there are nearly 200 enterprises here, including intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine, testing and inspection, scientific and technological creativity, etc., including Suzhou Unicorn Cultivation Project, Gusu District Leading Talent Project, etc., and more than 10 listed companies.
In the first industrial park, residents can enjoy a variety of services including basic property services, value-added services such as digital intelligence empowerment, technology finance, intellectual property rights, and talent services, as well as investment and financing solutions. At the beginning of its construction, the first industrial park cooperated with think tanks and universities to accurately position the industry, and actively integrated the group's industrial resources, set up industrial enterprises, committed to attracting investment in the industrial chain, and helped to supplement the chain, extend the chain and strengthen the chain.
Behind the rows of high-standard factory buildings, the industrial blueprint of the first industrial park is gradually emerging. With Wangshan as the starting point and "base + **" as the core operation mode, the road of external replication and brand output of the first industrial park is getting wider and wider. While local projects such as Changshu, Taicang, Wujiang, and Zhangjiagang have blossomed in many places, a number of out-of-town projects such as Gaochun Intelligent Equipment Industrial Park, Jurong Xinglu Port Logistics Park, and Wuhan Zhilian Chuangxing Center Industrial Park have also been implemented one after another, helping more urban industries to leap forward.
At present, the first industrial park has become one of the most explosive pillar industries of Wuzhong Group. "In the future, we will further consolidate the base camp of Jiangsu and take another step towards northern Jiangsu. I also want to look for new opportunities and explore the Greater Bay Area. Liu Jian revealed.
Love what you love and light up the beauty of the "rising sun".
In March this year, a top student from Suzhou North American International High School (hereinafter referred to as "Suzhou North America"), a subsidiary of Wuzhong Group, was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to major in mathematics, which attracted a lot of attention and envy. She loves mathematics and has created a learning Xi platform for girls in grades 7 to 9 around the world who are interested in mathematics, and has also pioneered a mathematics competition game and attracted 3 sponsors. Wang Ying, executive principal of Suzhou North American International High School, talks about her students with pride.
Originating from education and feeding back education is the constant sentiment of Wuzhong Group. Committed to planning the growth path for the next generation, Suzhou North American International High School came into being in 2013. In this young school, every child is growing up at an accelerated pace in "love". The school adopts a small-class, hierarchical, and walk-in teaching method, and each student has a personalized timetable that is most suitable for him/herself, covering nearly 100 courses such as calculus, statistics, and computer science. At the same time, the school is also the only international school in Jiangsu Province that offers all 28 AP courses. "Every child is unique. In Wang Ying's view, "education is not about filling the basket, but about lighting up the eyes." ”
In Dr. Dong's laboratory on the first floor of the school, fluorescence spectrometers, high-temperature tube furnaces, high-speed centrifuges and other equipment are readily available, caring for every whimsical idea of the children. Up to now, Dong Lei, the instructor of the laboratory, has taken the children to apply for more than 30 national invention patents.
Walking in Suzhou North America, scientific and technological innovation has become a trend. In addition to Dr. Dong's laboratory, the university has established 16 conventional laboratories in physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, etc., and cooperated with Professor Wu Peiheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of Nanjing University, to build the academician Wu Peiheng superconductivity laboratory, and to cooperate with Professor Cao Fuliang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former president of Nanjing Forestry University, to build the academician Cao Fuliang biotechnology laboratory. In the superconductivity lab, students can make ice cream with liquid nitrogen;In the biotechnology lab, students are able to artificially aseptically grow plant cells or tissues into complete plants. "We want to plant a seed of science in children. Perhaps in the future, this seed can grow into a towering tree. Wang Ying said, "In the future, the school will continue to introduce cutting-edge laboratories and scientific research talents, and continue to promote the scientific research ability of middle schools to become a necessary core literacy for young people in the new era." ”
From only 15 students enrolled in the first class to now full of students, 100% of graduates have entered world-class universities, Suzhou North America's unique personalized training system is being recognized by more and more students and parents.
Fine service, shining the beauty of "dusk".
"One old and one young" is related to people's livelihood and connects people's hearts. While the children are opening up the possibility of diversified development in Suzhou North America, the elderly are releasing their enthusiasm for life in the Suzhou Swiss Yi Health Care Community.
Since 2013, focusing on the field of elderly care and childcare, China has intensively introduced relevant policies or plans, only 3 of which have been issued by the Communist Party of China, and 15 have been issued by the State Council. When the aging population is like a galloping train, how to make the elderly live happier has also entered the "vision" of Wuzhong Group. In 2013, based on the experience of operating the real estate sector, hotel management sector and health examination center in the early stage, Wuzhong Group officially launched the layout of the pension industry and launched the service brand of "Ruiyi Health Care". "Whether a society is happy or not, it is very important to see whether the elderly are happy or not. Fei Xiaoyong, vice president of Wuzhong Group, Cultural Tourism and Health Care Group, said when he mentioned the original intention of entering the industry.
From the initial construction of dynamic elderly apartments to the operation of Ruiyi boutique innovative health care community, from the construction of Suzhou Ruiyi Nursing Home to the renovation and upgrading of Ruiyi Geriatric Hospital, in Wuzhong Group, the health care sector is more steady and steady, and with the changes in the needs of the elderly, it has continuously injected new connotations.
Today, in the Elite Wellness Community, 9 apartments for the elderly can be selected from 65 square meters to 153 square meters, all equipped with age-appropriate design and intelligent equipment. The nursing home has become one of the first batch of five-level nursing institutions in Jiangsu, with 170 nursing beds, the introduction of international advanced care system, and the establishment of three special areas for assisted care, dementia care and palliative care. The health and tourism center has specially set up nearly 100 sets of vacation rooms to meet the needs of the elderly and family members. Ruiyi Hospital affiliated to the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University is the first second-level geriatric hospital in Suzhou, and has established a medical alliance with the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University. "The needs of the elderly are our pursuit. Fei Xiaoyong told reporters that in order to give the elderly more "home" feelings, Ruiyi Health Care has also specially formulated a list of 120 services covering life services, health services, cultural and entertainment services, sports and leisure services, smart services, personalized services, special services, etc.
We hope to be an explorer and practitioner of China's health care industry. Fei Xiaoyong's tone was firm. At present, the brand story of "Ruiyi Health Care" is still being written, bringing experience to more places, and at the same time, there are frequent actions around the deep cultivation inside and outside the industrial chain.
The layout of the industrial track is changing, and the original intention of serving a better life remains unchanged. In Wuzhong Group, the road of diversification has its underlying logic, its unique vision of insight into the future, and it is the best annotation of its corporate development concept of "yesterday, today, tomorrow, upward, upward".
