渝新欧的“撒手锏”功能

要进一步发挥渝新欧作为丝绸之路经济带主通道的功能，努力使其成为具有重庆特色的跨境电商物流模式的撒手锏，成为重庆发展平行贸易、保税商品展示交易的撒手锏。

——7月29日，市长黄奇帆在推进服务贸易和口岸建设专题工作会上指出

19世纪前，芝加哥还是美国中西部地区一个十分不起眼的“边疆”城市。1848年，一条连通美国横贯大陆两岸的中太平洋铁路通过这里，为芝加哥带来了交通、贸易的空前繁荣。加之此前开凿的运河把美国著名的“五大湖”连通，让芝加哥从两个方向连通了太平洋，芝加哥由此逐渐地成为了美国最大的空运中心和铁路枢纽。今天的芝加哥已成为了美国的交通中心、工业中心和第二大金融中心。

今天，通向欧亚大陆桥的“渝新欧”铁路也有当年芝加哥开通的那条铁路的份量。一列火车，改变了中国内陆山城重庆千百年来出海的困局，重庆由此紧握住了世界的巨手。有人比喻：重庆，中国的芝加哥。

有了“渝新欧”，重庆才算真正“开放”了：连续四年实际利用外资超过100亿美元；对外进出口贸易额从五年前的60多亿美元跃升为去年的955亿美元，涨16倍；跨境电子商务超强增长……

数据的背后，是因为“渝新欧”的开放特征，形成了超强水陆空大枢纽、大通道、大口岸、大保税区平台，物流大进大出，吸引了大量外资企业入驻。

因为有了这张“王牌”，重庆近年来才屡创奇迹：GDP增速连超全国，甚至多次稳拿全国第一。

或许，这只是“渝新欧”为重庆带来的初级效应。渝新欧“进化”无止境，它为重庆未来发展带来的“升级版”效应将次第绽放。正如市长黄奇帆所说，渝新欧将成为重庆跨境电商的“撒手锏”。或许，不仅如此，它还将成为重庆未来发展的一张大“王牌”。

现在，“渝新欧”不仅开行稳定，它还有一个其它中欧班列无法企及的“撒手锏”，那就是，重庆港是继深圳港后新加入中欧安全智能贸易航线试点计划的城市，是中国内陆首个安智贸试点港口，这意味着，在西部内陆地区，只有通过重庆港出关的货物才能享受到最大限度的快速便捷通关。

渝新欧形成的开放优势正在扩大。重庆的开放特征，目前已形成了水陆空三个国家级的枢纽、三个一类口岸、三个保税区的“三个三合一”。有这个特征的省市，大家如果拿着中国地图看，重庆是唯一的。

这些是渝新欧的“硬件”。软件呢？身处内陆，却拥有国际视野，这是当年芝加哥“发家”的原始冲动。如今，重庆也可以立下雄心壮志：打造世界级城市。或许，以前可以这样想，但如今可以做到了。

渝新欧，就是重庆未来的一个“撒手锏”。

重庆今后要做的内容很丰富：比如，有了“三个三合一”开放条件后，外资企业将大量涌入重庆，同时带着重庆制造奔向世界；重庆目前已经打造出了全球最大的笔电基地，未来还将做跨境电子商务、保税商品展示交易、互联网云计算大数据产业、保税贸易、离跨境结算等服务贸易……

依托“渝新欧”，重庆还要与世界巨擘做大生意，拓展西亚、中亚和中东欧市场……

重庆，是世界的重庆。

Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe’s Trump Card

On July 29th,at the Special Working Conference on Service Trade Promotion and Port Construction,Huang Qifan,Mayor of Chongqing pointed out that,“We must further develop the functions of Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway(Yu Xin Ou) as the main channel of Silk Road Economic Belt,and make it be a trump card in cross-border e-commerce logistics patterns featuring Chongqing’s characteristics and a trump card for Chongqing to develop parallel trading and bonded goods exhibition and trading.”

Before 19th century,Chicago was a very common “frontier”city located in the Mid-west America.However,in 1848,the transcontinental Central Pacific Railroad went through Chicago,bringing it the unprecedented prosperity to transportation and trading.Coupled with previously dug canals connecting with the five famous American "Great Lakes",Chicago links the Pacific Ocean in two different directions,thus gradually becoming the nation's largest air cargo center and rail hub.Today,Chicago has become America's transportation hub,industrial center and second largest financial center.

Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway through Eurasia Land Bridge plays the same role as that railway did in Chicago.The railway has overcome the difficulties that the inland mountain city has confronted with for thousands of years in exporting and importing and helped Chongqing grasp the world’s giant hands firmly.Therefore,some people compare Chongqing to Chicago.

Thanks to Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway,Chongqing has truly opened up.Foreign capital in excess of 10 billion US dollars has been used for four consecutive years.Import and export from 6 billion US dollars 5 years ago soared to last year’s 95.5 billion US dollars,increasing 16 times.Cross-border e-commerce trading boasts a rapid growth.

All this growth lie in Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe’s opening up which helps build the water-land-air transportation hubs,major channels,ports and bonded platforms that provide favorable conditions for goods exported and imported in large quantities and attract a large amount of investment from foreign-funded enterprises.

Thanks to Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway,Chongqing has made many miracles in recent years: GDP grows faster and even get NO.1 for several times.

Perhaps Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway has only exerted primary influence on Chongqing and it has more potential to bring upgraded effects on the development of Chongqing.Huang Qifan has pointed out that Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway would be a trump card for cross-border e-commerce.Maybe it would be also a trump card for the future development of Chongqing.

Now,Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway is in stable operation with an unique advantage : besides Shenzhen Port,Chongqing Port is China’s only inland port in SSTL.This means the goods in western regions only through Chongqing Port can enjoy the customers clearance to the utmost.

Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway is providing more favorable conditions for Chongqing’s opening up.Thus,Chongqing has built three national transportation hubs (water,land and air hub),three national first-class ports and three bonded zones.In China,only Chongqing has these advantages.

The mentioned above is all Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe ‘s hardware.How about software? Chongqing,following the successful example of Chicago,has set up its ambitious goal of becoming an international city.Maybe the goal is only a dream in the past,but now the dream can be realized.

Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe is a trump card for the further Chongqing.

There are many things to be done.For example,with the “Three Threes into One”Initiative carried out,a large number of foreign funded-enterprises will enter into Chongqing,bringing Chongqing to the world.Chongqing has built the largest laptop computer manufacturing base in the world.In the future,more service trading such as cross-border e-commerce,bonded goods exhibition and trading,the internet cloud computing data industry,bonded trade and cross-border settlement will be made.

Relying on Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway,Chongqing will trade with business giants in the world,expanding the markets in Western Asia,Central Asia and Central and Eastern Europe.

Chongqing belongs to the world!
