First, from “borrowing a ship to the sea” to “building a ship to the sea”

1, fire of stars


At dusk on July 30, 1978, Hong Kong businessman Zhang Zimi came to Humen, Dongguan. He looked around in this backward township.

When the cost of manufacturing in Hong Kong rose, Zhang Ziya’s two factories in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, were under pressure from falling profits and were forced to the brink of bankruptcy. He wanted to return to the mainland, which had just released the signal of reform and opening up. Looking for opportunities.

He took out a black handbag to Tang Zhiping, the third director of Dongguan Taiping Handbag Factory, and asked: “Don’t you do it?” After Tang Zhiping took over, he organized several workers to study overnight and tried sewing machine. “Let’s draw a gourd.”

The next morning, Zhang Zimei received a new handbag. “It’s exactly the same!” He didn’t expect these workers to make almost 100% close handbags in just one night. At the moment, Zhang Zimei signed a 3 million investment contract with Taiping Handbag Factory.

In September, Taiping Handbag Factory was awarded the first “Three to One Supplement” enterprise license issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the number was “Cantonese No. 001”, becoming the first “three to one supplement” enterprise in China. In the first year, the factory only received a processing fee of RMB 1 million and a foreign exchange of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars.

With the success of a number of Hong Kong-owned enterprises such as Taiping Handbag Factory and Longyan Hair Tools Factory, Hong Kong-funded enterprises have entered Dongguan to set up factories. They are not only investors, but also the “messengers” and enlighteners of foreign investment in Dongguan. With the entry of Hong Kong capital, Taiwan-funded and Japanese-funded enterprises from all over the world have begun to settle in Dongguan.

These individuals and companies have introduced a large amount of capital, talents, technology and advanced management models for Dongguan, Guangdong and even China, igniting the “Made in China” star fire.

Today, looking back, Dongguan’s development and processing trade just happened to encounter the global manufacturing transfer wave that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s. With the funds, technology and marketing channels of “big ships” such as Hong Kong businessmen and Taiwanese businessmen, Combining the factors of labor, energy and land cost, Dongguan has built a “borrowing ship” to quickly occupy the global market and become a “world factory” known both at home and abroad.
