Fuzhou, March 6th (Xinhua News Agency) (Reporter Shen Rufa) In Jinjiang City, Fujian Province, there is Li Jinyi, the first entrepreneur in China to contract air cargo transportation business. At the age of 15, I started driving a tractor for transportation. By the 1990s, I was the first to charter planes for cargo transportation, and now I have invested billions to build a land port. I have had a connection with logistics throughout my life, "said Li Jinyi. Jinjiang Land Port is one of the four mainland ports in Fujian Province. According to the statistics of Quanzhou Port Office, which is affiliated with Jinjiang, in 2013, its foreign trade container throughput reached 118822 TEUs, exceeding the total import and export volume of foreign trade containers in the entire Quanzhou port; The total trade volume reached 2.05 billion US dollars; The freight volume reached 576000 tons, accounting for over 80% of the total value of land ports in the province. Li Jinyi has the typical characteristics of a Minnan entrepreneur. Culture is not high, but vision is sharp and daring to fight. He didn't graduate from elementary school from a poor family and drove a tractor for transportation at the age of 15. I used to drive a truck alone to Beijing and go back and forth for nearly ten days, "said Li Jinyi. Running transportation from all over the country not only saved some funds, but more importantly, improved my insight and judgment on the logistics industry. In the 1990s, a large amount of clothing from Shishi City, under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou City, was sold to areas such as Harbin in Heilongjiang Province and Shenyang in Liaoning Province. However, due to poor road conditions, it often took a week for cars to transport it. The high transportation costs and long transportation cycles have made clothing manufacturers anxious. After learning about it, Li Jinyi suddenly thought that airplanes could greatly reduce transportation time. He found the person in charge of Northern Airlines at the time to understand the situation, cooperated with the airline, and contracted air transportation business. With her unique vision, Li Jinyi became the first person in China to contract air cargo transportation business. Afterwards, she successively carried out charter flights cooperation with China Eastern Airlines, Wuhan Airlines, and others, striving to expand air transportation business and master convenient air transportation resources. In the following nearly 7 years, Li Jinyi almost monopolized the air cargo transportation from East China to Northeast China, known as the "first package in China" in the industry. The construction of Jinjiang Land Port this time asked 100 people, and 99.99 people said they shouldn't do it. "Li Jinyi said, with a large logistics investment and slow recovery, but a good prospect." The original plan was to lose one billion yuan within 5 years, "but the situation is much better than expected. Since its launch in March 2012, in just two years, Jinjiang Land Port has handed over a beautiful transcript. Before the absence of Jinjiang Land Port, due to the limited number of international routes in Quanzhou, enterprises had to declare their imports and exports at Xiamen Port. Now they can declare at their doorstep. "Li Yuanyuan, Executive Director of Jinjiang Land Port Co., Ltd., said that if customs declaration was made at Xiamen Port, due to the large volume of goods at Xiamen Port, customs declaration and discharge would take a long time, and even some bulk cargo would take about a week, while customs declaration would be made at Jinjiang Land Port, Equivalent to customs declaration in Xiamen, almost one or two days in advance. Enterprises in Quanzhou usually arrive at Jinjiang Land Port within one hour, and it takes at least two to three hours to arrive at Xiamen. "Lin Debiao, administrative manager of Fujian Jiayi Plastic Co., Ltd., said," It's convenient for enterprises, and of course we are all willing to go from here. "According to Lin Chaoyang, head of the Land Port Supervision Department of Quanzhou Customs, customs supervision implements a one-stop service at the land port, including document review, taxation, inspection, release, and checkpoint management, Simplified the intermediate approval process, greatly improved customs clearance efficiency, and achieved a 24-hour clearance rate of 100% for customs clearance operations. The relevant person in charge of the Jinjiang Economic and Trade Bureau said that the Jinjiang Land Port has realized the port service function of Xiamen Port, and has undertaken the port's functions such as packing, unpacking, storage, transit, customs, and inspection and quarantine. Completing procedures such as loading and booking of import and export goods, logistics distribution, and direct customs clearance and clearance in the vicinity of Jinjiang Land Port is convenient and efficient, saves costs, and greatly enhances the market competitiveness of enterprises. In order to create a good environment for enterprises, Jinjiang Land Port has established a bonded warehouse, where enterprises can defer customs duties and value-added tax, and reduce capital occupation; We have introduced 14 customs declaration agencies, inspection agencies, and 7 international shipping agencies to serve foreign trade import and export enterprises; We have also established a credit platform to facilitate financing for small and micro enterprises. Recently, the second phase of Jinjiang Land Port has been approved by the Fujian Provincial Department of Transportation, and will construct functional blocks such as bonded storage area, constant temperature (ordinary) storage area, frozen storage area, express center area, and light load storage area to provide comprehensive logistics services for enterprises in Quanzhou and its surrounding areas as well as the economic hinterland. Experts from the Fujian Academy of Social Sciences believe that in recent years, ports in various parts of China have developed rapidly to strive for a vast economic hinterland and supply of goods. At the same time, inland areas also urgently need to find low-cost and efficient "sea routes". Jinjiang Land Port integrates a logistics platform with the joint participation of government and enterprises such as manufacturers, foreign trade enterprises, service intermediaries, and port departments. This modern logistics model can be used for reference. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
