Not only that, in the unicorn rankings that measure the new economy, as well as the hot fields of new energy vehicles, low-altitude economy, cross-border e-commerce, etc., Panyu has brought many unexpected surprises to Guangzhou.

Some people say that Panyu is the "treasure boy" of Guangzhou. It may look "ordinary" or even a little rustic, but as long as you get close to it, you will find that it is full of hidden surprises, and they are endless.

01

With the power of one district, we can contribute 1/3 of the city’s rich people

Why is it so easy for Panyu to produce bosses?

Today, let’s talk about Panyu.

In terms of location conditions, Panyu is not as good as Yuexiu and Tianhe; in terms of policy support, Panyu is not as good as Nansha and Huangpu, but Panyu has one specialty, that isThe private economy is active and produces many entrepreneurs。

In some people's impression, Guangzhou lacks top private entrepreneurs, but those who say this are purely biased.At least I don't know Panyu。

Since the 1980s, Panyu has been an important birthplace of private enterprises in Guangdong, and has produced many legendary private entrepreneurs. For example, Su Zhigang, the founder of Chimelong, worked as a bricklayer and sold pork when he was young. Today, the Chimelong Group he founded is popular enough to compete withDisney。

Another example is Huang Wenzai, the founder of Galaxy Bay. He was originally just an employee of a supply and marketing cooperative in Panyu. Later, he founded Galaxy Bay, which expanded from Panyu to the whole country. He was once called the Godfather of Chinese luxury homes.

In addition, the founder of Xiyin, Xu Yangtian,Haida GroupFounder Xue Hua, founder of GoodTai Group Shen Hanbiao, founder of Agile Group Tan Bingzhao,BilbaoFounder Xie Bingzheng,Penghui EnergyThe founder, Xia Xinde, their business and entrepreneurial journey are inextricably linked to Panyu.

These entrepreneurs are genuine private entrepreneurs who have become leaders in their respective fields. If you ask what special products Panyu has, private entrepreneurs are one of them.

This also shows that Panyu has always beenFertile soil for entrepreneurs and blessed land for businessmenThe soil here nourishes people. In recent years, Panyu District has put forward a slogan, called building an "entrepreneur-friendly urban area", which can be said to have found the soul of Panyu's development.

Let me show you another picture to give you a feelThe presence of Panyu entrepreneurs

The above data comes from the "2023 New Fortune Rich List" released by New Fortune. Among the 500 richest people in the country,Guangzhou has 19 places, of which Panyu has 6., contributing one-third of the city's total with the strength of one district.

What does it mean that so many top entrepreneurs are gathering in Panyu?Good soil。

Judging from the distribution pattern of private enterprises in China, the growth of private entrepreneurs is very dependent on the "soil environment". Of course, the soil environment here mainly refers to the business environment.

Whether looking at the past or the present, Panyu’s tradition of producing entrepreneurs has never been broken, which is undoubtedly the best advertisement for the business environment!

Therefore, Panyu has a fertile soil suitable for the wild growth of private enterprises. Many places often need to rack their brains to attract investment, but Panyu often comes uninvited.

Unicorns dominate the list!

Panyu, the leader of Guangzhou's new economy

Another hidden talent of Panyu is the ability to self-innovate.

If you think Panyu's industries are still stuck in some traditional industries, you are totally wrong. Let's take a look at the news first.

July 25,AlibabaThe first cross-border e-commerce industrial park established by AliExpress in South China has officially settled in Panyu, helping corporate brands to set sail overseas from Guangzhou.

Not only has Alibaba's AliExpress settled in Panyu, but it has also nurtured the cross-border e-commerce giant SHEIN.Guangzhou is the leading city in China's cross-border e-commerce, and Panyu has made an indelible contribution to this!

Let me show you another list, let you feel it.The presence of Panyu Unicorn

According to the 2024 Global Unicorn Rankings released by the Hurun Research Institute, there are 24 unicorns in Guangzhou, of which Panyu accounts for 4, and also owns the two largest unicorns in the city.

In terms of quantity, Panyu ranks second, but in terms of valuation, the total valuation of unicorns in Panyu District reached 578.1 billion yuan, ranking first in the city, accounting for about 66% of the city.

The strength of this district alone accounts for 66% of the total valuation of the city's unicorns, which is enough to illustrate the rapid development of Panyu's new economy.

Living up to the name of "treasure boy", while many people's impression of Panyu is still stuck on traditional industries, Panyu has made a stunning turn and become the leader of Guangzhou's unicorns, with a large number of leading companies emerging in the fields of new energy vehicles, low-altitude economy, cross-border e-commerce, etc.

From traditional industries to the emergence of new economy, Panyu has demonstrated a strong ability for self-innovation, which also requires the support of a high-quality business environment.

03

From industry to commerce, Panyu has almost been "reborn"

How much hidden strength does Panyu have? Here is a brief summary for everyone.

There are currently about 14 unicorn companies in China with a market value of over 100 billion yuan, two of which are located in Panyu, Guangzhou., namely Xiyin (valued at over US$66 billion) and GAC Aion (valued at over US$15 billion).

Even more surprising is thatPanyu's commercial development has also achieved remarkable breakthroughsChimelong Wanda is building a world-class landmark business district, which ranks second only to the Tianhe Road-Pearl River New Town business district in the 14th Five-Year Plan for Guangzhou’s Business Development.

At present, Chimelong-Wanbo has opened several large shopping malls, including Tianhe City, Sihai City, Wanda, Sam's Club, Haiyin City, etc., which is equivalent to 10 Tianhe Cities. In addition, top-tier shopping malls such as Vientiane, K11, and Longhu Paradise Walk are also under preparation and construction.

It can be said that Guangzhou’s top commercial sector is no longer dominated by Tianhe alone, as Panyu has made the pie bigger!

From the iteration of industries to the renewal of businesses, Panyu can be called the "treasure boy" of Guangzhou.

Another trick of "Treasure Boy":

Huge talent pool and intellectual resources

The prosperity of industry and commerce has brought about an explosive growth in population.

According to data released by the Guangzhou Statistics Bureau, Panyu's permanent population has increased by 1.3743 million in the past 10 years, ranking second in the city. If we look at the population growth rate, Panyu District ranks first in Guangzhou with a 94.9% increase.

That is to say, in the past 10 years, Panyu's permanent population has doubled, which is equivalent to an increase of 1/2 of Zhuhai's permanent population. (Zhuhai's permanent population is 2.4941 million)

You should know that just 10 years ago, Panyu's permanent population was lower than that of Tianhe, Haizhu and other areas. Now it has jumped to become the second most populous area in Guangzhou, second only to Baiyun.

This shows that a large number of young people are voting for Panyu with their feet! In the new battlefield of artificial intelligence and digital economy, Panyu District has an advantage that has not been fully explored, that istalent pool。

Guangzhou University Town, located on Xiaoguwei Island in Panyu District, has 12 colleges and universities and more than 200,000 college students. It is one of the largest university towns in South China.

There are many famous universities in Guangzhou University Town, which are ranked in the top 100 of the "2024 China University Rankings by Soft Science", namely Sun Yat-sen University, South China University of Technology, Jinan University, South China Normal University, Guangzhou University, and Guangdong University of Technology. Among them, four universities are listed as "Double First-Class Universities".

In addition, Guangzhou University Town and its surrounding areas have 117 key laboratories, 149 engineering technology research centers, 8 new research institutions, and a total of 13 national key laboratories including the Guangzhou Supercomputer Center.

Possessing such a huge talent pool and high-standard intellectual resources is also a surprise for Panyu as a "treasure boy"! This also provides continuous support for Guangzhou's development of advanced manufacturing and new quality productivity.
