Golden Lake Produces “Gold” —Ecological Environment Attract Investors to Stay
2017-11-20 10:46:11

  On the afternoon of November 7th, the beautiful Golden Lake in Zhijiang City, which is the national ecological wetland park, has attracted a group of visitors from afar, including Masuda Ibusu, the CEO of Plusone Co. Ltd.-No. 1 virtual operator and the third largest communication operator in Japan, and Wang Shidong, Chairman of the board of Shanghai Golden Stone Communication Technology Co, Ltd, the important strategic partner of Plusone. Accompanied by the officials from the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, they come to Zhijiang City to seek business cooperation on electronic information projects.

  On the bike lane surrounding the lake, there are numerous cyclists, who are attracted by the crystal clear water. While walking along the riverbank, those visitors from afar are also deeply attracted by the beauty of the lake that they cannot help taking photos via their mobile phones. According to the person responsible, the beautiful lake has attracted more and more entrepreneurs to come to Zhijiang to develop their business. But it was not the case a few years ago. The Golden Lake used to be the biggest lake in Yichang, and an age-old fishing ground. However, the lake smelt awful, with mosquitoes flying above the water surface. Since the Golden Lake is connected with the Yangtze River, the filthy water also polluted the Yangtze River. Under such circumstances, the government of the Zhijiang City decided to take effective measures to manage it. Early last year, the government invested 18.5 million yuan to buy out the fishery contract, so as to move out the lakeside livestock and poultry breeding base, and to prohibit artificial fish feeding. After hard work, the filthy fishing ground has been turned into beautiful lake. Subsequently, in order to protect the Yangtze River, the government also invested a large sum of money to purify the water. About 3.9 square kilometers of farmland are relocated and 271 villagers are moved out, which helps to turn the dirty and messy village into the national ecological wetland park.

  After walking through a corridor bridge, Masuda Ibusu finds that a picturesque village, with the lake and hills, is unfolded in front of him. He said loudly in slightly stiff Chinese, “Wow, I want to live here!”

  After one hour, the delegation arrived at Zhijiang Electronic Information Industrial Park., which is only 3 km from the Golden Lake. Witnessed by the CEO Masuda Ibusu and Executive Vice Chairman Oonaka Yasuhiro of Plusone, Shanghai Golden Stone Communication Technology Co, Ltd signed the contract with Zhijiang, which specifies that Golden Stone will invest 800 million yuan to build an intelligent terminal project in Zhijiang electronic information industrial park and become the sixth enterprise in the park.

  It is learned that Zhijiang City will combine ecological management with recovery, and focus on transforming the ecological advantages into development competitiveness, actively promote the industry restructure, and prioritize the development of electronic information. At present, five enterprises in the park are stepping up the plant decoration and equipment debugging. They will start production at the end of the year. In addition, a dozen of enterprises have reached initial investment intention with the industrial park.

  The industrial park and ecological environment have attracted an increasing number of enterprises to settle down in Zhijiang. As a number of projects under construction, Zhijiang will become the largest production base of electronic components in the central China. After ecological management and restoration, the Golden Lake, playing a vital role in attracting investors, has begun to "produce gold". (Reporter Jin Guiman; correspondent Chen Yonghong)
