On the construction site of PV New Materials Industrial Park of Hubei Yijun Yaoneng New Materials Co., Ltd. (Yijun Yaoneng), machines roared and engineering vehicles shuttled, taking on a bustling scene. This year, the company invested 10 billion yuan in emerging fields to build a PV new materials industrial park covering an area of over 2,000 mu, so as to achieve the third transformation from the building materials industry to the PV new materials industry, and upgrade from traditional manufacturing to high-tech industries. Through the new PV industry project, the company will build a whole PV industry chain from upstream sectors to downstream sectors.
To attract more outstanding enterprises to settle, Jingzhou must advance industrial development steadily. As Jingzhou's leading home appliance enterprise, Hubei Midea Refrigerator Co., Ltd. has driven the agglomerative development of Jingzhou's intelligent home appliance industry. During visiting the company, Ying said technology innovation is a real driver for corporate development. With focus on technology innovation, the company will bring in leading home appliance talents and build its second R&D base in Jingzhou in the coming two years or three. The company has completed the first 5G-powered intelligent plant in Jingzhou this year. In response to digital and intelligent business transformation, the company will lead by technology, come close to customers, develop by digitalization and intelligence, and achieve breakthroughs worldwide.

During visiting Jingzhou Jiangling New Energy & New Materials Industry Base, Ying stressed that the base should accelerate the development of a new energy & new materials industry base, and build a national industrial transfer accommodation demonstration zone based on Yangtze River Golden Waterway and Haolebaoji-Ji'an Railway. At the coal reserve base of Hubei Jingzhou Coal Port Co., Ltd., up to 40,000 tons of coal arrives daily via Haolebaoji-Ji'an Railway. Since the port opened, a maximum 40,000 tons has arrived and a maximum over 36,000 tons has been dispatched daily, and the figures have been growing every month to over 700,000 tons from 80,000 tons in January.
With a planned area of 100 square kilometers, the base focuses on two clusters: energy chemical products and high-end chemical products in the coal deep processing industry. In recent years, a host of major projects have settled in the base, and an industrial park with a total investment of over 100 billion yuan and an output value of over 100 billion is emerging.
