Nearly 100,000 square meters of high-quality industrial space, more than 20,000 square meters of colorful commercial facilities, and nearly 500 sets of talent apartments ......The reporter followed the interview group for the 10th anniversary of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei jointly organized by the Cyberspace Administration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei into the South Central Axis International Cultural Science and Technology Park. It used to be a clothing trade city full of people and merchants. Today, a functional industrial community has been revealed, with modern glass curtain walls and bronze grilles that echo in the sun. Along with it, a new generation of information technology-led high-tech enterprises featuring the metaverse.
1) Dahongmen from "Zhejiang Village" to the Science and Technology Park.
Now the South Central Axis International Cultural Science and Technology Park was once one of the largest clothing wholesale trading centers in Beijing and even North China, where more than 7,000 merchants gathered and a daily passenger flow of 100,000 people. With the implementation of the strategy to relieve non-capital functions, the mission of the city as a wholesale center officially ended on October 31, 2021. In July of the same year, Fengtai District and Zhongguancun Development Group played a leading role in guiding and demonstrating the municipal state-owned enterprises, launched strategic cooperation, and promoted the "gorgeous turnaround" of the Dahongmen area.
Exit from Haihutun Station of Metro Line 8 and walk a few hundred meters to the south, a new Chinese-style building full of science and technology comes into view. This is the carefully renovated South Central Axis International Cultural Science and Technology Park.
In the past, it was so crowded that you couldn't go up the stairs for 20 minutes, and you couldn't get down the stairs for 20 minutes during the lunch break, but now, you can reach almost every floor in 1 minute. Yan Fu, Secretary of the Party Branch and Chairman of the South Central Axis (Beijing) International Culture and Technology Development Group, introduced that at the end of 2022, the West Building of the first phase of the Science and Technology Park will be opened, and the whole park will be opened at the end of 2023. Hanjie Technology, Daheng Xuanjing, and Mo Universe are the representative of the metaverse industrial cluster, and the industrial agglomeration effect has initially appeared.
2) Merchants "switched" from Dahongmen to Hebei.
On the north side of the South Central Axis International Cultural Science and Technology Park, there are several bus stops, and buses are distributed to Langfang Yongqing, Gu'an, Cangzhou and other places every once in a while. After the completion of the dredging, Beijing wholesalers went to Hebei to start a business, and buyers went to Hebei to purchase clothing, and these buses became an important link between Beijing Dahongmen and several markets in Hebei, and clothing practitioners continued their careers in the "Twin Cities Life".
The big red door is really different now, and it is completely different from what we used to be. On February 21, the merchant Zhou Le's hometown revisited and couldn't help but express such feelings. Zhou Le's hometown is in Sanmenxia, Henan, and after the Spring Festival holiday, he transferred from his hometown to Beijing, and then returned to his current place of work, Langfang, Gu'an. He said: "There are buses around Dahongmen to serve our garment practitioners, and it takes less than 1 hour to go directly to the door of Gu'an Yongding City Market, which is very convenient. Zhou Le went to Beijing with his family in 2006 to do clothing business, and with the process of dispersalization, he and his family came to Gu'an from Dahongmen, Beijing in 2021, and the store area expanded from the original 50 square meters to more than 300 square meters. He is now the regional general manager of two clothing brands, and the brand's stores in Fangshan, Huairou, Miyun, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and other places all purchase from him. Zhou Le said: "On February 27, the market will hold a collection and approval festival, which is one of the most important means of the market. The brand designer has released a lot of **, and I hope that the clothing will sell well in March. ”
Similarly, in Cangzhou Pearl Trade City, more than 10,000 Beijing clothing merchants have settled down. For several years, they have completed the transition and are developing in an orderly manner. Wu Hongqiang, a former Beijing merchant, is a native of Zhoukou, Henan. In 2012, he and his wife came to Beijing to work hard, rented a store of six or seven square meters in the Dahongmen clothing wholesale market, and started a jeans wholesale business. In 2018, Wu Hongqiang moved from Beijing to Cangzhou with all the machinery and equipment and dozens of workers. Today, Wu Hongqiang's family of four has settled in Cangzhou and bought a 135-square-meter house, and his two children have also been arranged to study in schools near the community in accordance with the policy. "We live very comfortably in Cangzhou, whether it is running shops or living conditions, we have greatly improved compared to Beijing, and our income has increased several times compared to when we were in Beijing. Wu Hongqiang said.
