Twenty years of cold chain

In early 2009, the ten major industry revitalization plans, destined to have a far-reaching impact, were launched amidst great anticipation. Not only were they eagerly awaited by the Chinese people, but they also attracted the attention of the world, as they would witness China's powerful strength in emerging from this economic crisis.

This is a series of combined measures following the ten measures to expand domestic demand, all of which will be fully implemented this year. The revitalization of the ten major industries can be seen as a comprehensive deepening of the ten national policies, or as a supplement to them, extending the policies to specific industries.

Although the Chinese economy brought many miracles to the world in the past year—we did not experience a credit crisis, no financial institutions collapsed, and we still maintained a 9% growth rate despite difficulties—restructuring the Chinese economy, enhancing its development potential, and upgrading its industries are urgent matters. The lessons of the financial crisis are truly profound.

Therefore, people have extremely high expectations for this, and heated discussions have taken place regarding the specific ten industries to be revitalized. It is worth mentioning that these ten industry revitalization plans were not approved all at once, but were successively unveiled after several special discussions and deliberations.

It's no exaggeration to say that in this first month of the year, the entire nation is engrossed in a "national drama." People are predicting the next episode, generating unprecedented buzz. Each industry affects the lives and careers of millions, and together they are inextricably linked to the lives of all 13 billion people.

For those in the business world, especially those whose companies were hit hard by the financial crisis, this powerful force represents spring and dawn. Behind it lies immense financial strength and unprecedented scale. People firmly believe that it will converge and flow alongside the 4 trillion yuan stimulus package, bringing tangible benefits from national and local government investments.

It will last throughout 2009!

The first one to appear was on January 14th.

The revitalization plans for the automotive and steel industries were reviewed and approved.

After nine consecutive years of growth, China's auto market has seen a decline in the new century.

However, my country's per capita car ownership is far below the world average.

The government will provide multifaceted support through taxation and fiscal policies. The financial crisis led to the voluntary shutdown of small and medium-sized steel enterprises, plunging the industry to a historic low.

The key to the plan is to avoid a chaotic free-for-all among large and small steel companies and to increase market concentration.

On February 4, the textile industry and equipment manufacturing industry were reviewed and approved.

The textile industry was one of the hardest hit by the financial crisis, facing a lack of both overseas orders and domestic capital.

Many businesses are on the brink of collapse, and the textile industry is responsible for the employment of 20 million industrial workers. There is a significant gap between our equipment manufacturing technology and international standards in some areas, such as large-scale petrochemical equipment and high-end CNC machine tools.

Then, on February 11th,

Shipbuilding industry.

February 18, Electronics and Information Industry.

February 19, light industry and petrochemical industry.

March 2,

Non-ferrous metals industry.

It only took forty days.

This led to the introduction of this series of revitalization plans, with unprecedented efficiency in decision-making, wide-ranging impact, and strong policy力度.

Following the announcement of these nine industries,

The question of who will win the tenth prize is attracting much attention.

It also propelled this nationwide remembrance to its climax!

It is worth mentioning that,

The industrial added value of these nine industries accounts for nearly 80% of the total industrial added value in my country and generates more than one-third of the GDP.

Therefore, this tenth one has attracted all sorts of speculations.

Based on this industry type, some identify it as the energy sector, while others say that the only thing lacking here is the service industry.

Tourism is the most likely candidate, and some also say that infrastructure development is booming.

However, when the announcement was made, this last industry shocked many people!

谷皑

Many people only realized there was such an option after seeing the results!

That's right, it's the logistics industry!

Who would have thought,

One day—

The fact that the logistics industry can be listed alongside the steel and petrochemical industries at such a high level demonstrates this!

Therefore,

A major discussion about the logistics industry has taken place.

Some people, belatedly realizing the truth, would say, "Unexpected yet also expected."

Numerous interviews and reports about the inclusion of the logistics industry in the revitalization plan have been published in newspapers and online.

"The logistics industry is a hub for many industries and an important link between domestic and international markets. On the surface, it is the logistics industry that is being revitalized, but in reality, it is opening up the smooth flow of other industries. Moreover, as an important branch of the tertiary industry, the revitalization of the logistics industry will also bring stronger competitiveness to the tertiary industry and has profound significance for absorbing employment."

"The food industry is still developing in a very extensive manner, and food safety issues are prominent. Therefore, the progress of the logistics industry is not only the lifeblood of many industries, but also a powerful tool for the upgrading of light industry."

Moreover, along with the plan, nine key projects for revitalizing the logistics industry were also identified. This is the first time the country has proposed such a comprehensive development plan for the logistics industry, and the improvement and upgrading of infrastructure has never been so solid and effective!

The logistics industry's predicament is largely due to the cold chain. Compared to the national "Ten Measures" and the lack of domestic demand expansion funds for cold chain companies, this revitalization has given industry insiders a great sense of reassurance.

The reason is simple: the ten national policies only touch upon the service industry, while the ten major industry revitalization initiatives clearly include the logistics industry. Moreover, this is a comprehensive plan, and the logistics industry will receive targeted measures and investment similar to the other nine initiatives.

More importantly, among these ten industries, the logistics industry is "unique." What it will bring has raised expectations that seem to have no end, like clouds parting to reveal a vast wilderness.

Panhu Fishing Port will be put on the market in March; preparations are in their final stages.

But just then, a notice of postponement was released.

Since the beginning of this month,

Hu Shutong not only visited Qingdian Aquatic Products City, but also the other three places.

Many pictures were displayed on the computer screen, although they were drawn very roughly.

But Hu Shutong had a keen eye.

Even the most junior executive in any company, regardless of their personal interests, will be concerned with policy direction. The revitalization of the logistics industry is stirring up unseen forces; what might happen is not a matter of much thought, but it's something that everyone who wants to make a difference is inevitably involved.

Upon hearing the news of the delay at Panhu Fishing Port, Hu Shutong suddenly stood up and began to wander around the corners of the office. Unconsciously, he started rubbing his hands together, and the more he rubbed, the more vigorously he rubbed.

He seemed to be calculating, calculating whose appetite was bigger.

I've loved cold chain logistics for twenty years.
