Build high-end power lithium battery production base Rongbai Group High Nickel Lithium Battery cathode material Project located in Xiantao, Hubei

On March 29th, Rongbai Group started construction of the cathode material project of high nickel lithium battery with a total investment of 30 billion yuan and an annual output of 400000 tons in Xiantao City, Hubei Province. "after reaching production, the project can achieve an average annual output value of 70 billion yuan. the large investment scale and high output benefit of the project has created a history of attracting investment in Xiantao, which is of milestone significance in the history of Xiantao's development." Luo Lianfeng, secretary of the Xiantao Municipal CPC Committee, said. After the completion of the project, it will change the history of industry without leading backbone enterprises in Xiantao City, enhance the development pattern of Xiantao City, and play an important role in promoting Xiantao "taking the lead in rushing hundreds of billions and advancing into the top 50".

In the new energy vehicle battery industry chain, lithium battery cathode material is the core key, and Rongbai Group is the backbone enterprise of lithium battery cathode material in the world. Why do industry leaders invest heavily in county-level regions? Why did Xiantao City be chosen?

Dialogue between the Yangtze River and the West Lake

Rongbai Group made two additional investments.

"this is an important stroke in the history of Xiantao's development, and I am proud that I have participated in the project attraction and settlement." At the construction site on the same day, watching the excavator pick up the first loess of the project land, Huang Wenbing, vice chairman of the Chinese people's political Consultative Conference of Xiantao City and director of the Finance Bureau, was a little excited, and his thoughts went back to the spring of a year ago.

At dawn at Beijing Daxing International Airport, a group of people hurried to catch the earliest flight of the day to Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. A day ago, the main person in charge of the Xiantao Municipal Party Committee visited the representatives of businessmen in Beijing. In their first meeting with Bai Houshan, chairman of Rongbai Group, the two met too late and immediately decided to cut back on other itineraries and transfer to the Ningbo base of Rongbai Group for on-the-spot inspection.

After a brief two-hour meeting in Ningbo, the two sides decided to set up a special class to dock, and Rongbai Group specially sent a team to Xiantao City to inspect investment issues.

Choose Xiantao and invest in Xiantao. In fact, the relationship between Bai Houshan and his hometown Xiantao has never been interrupted. Over the years, Xiantao City, previous municipal party committees, municipal governments, the main responsible persons, visited Bai Houshan every year to seek cooperation opportunities.

New energy and materials enterprises are the "hot cake" in various places. Xiantao has neither resource advantage nor obvious cost advantage, how to promote the industry giant to settle down and start work as soon as possible?

The main person in charge of Xiantao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government visited the relevant provincial departments many times to win relevant policy support. The Department of Commerce of Hubei Province, the Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Economic and Information Affairs, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Finance and other departments have made full use of policy funds. The project has not yet started, the industrial fund is in place, and the preferential electricity price policy is in place.

"the layout of an enterprise is not only a hometown complex and emotional factor, but also a complete set of industries, future development plans, and a good business environment." Bai Houshan said frankly that he was moved by the spirit and action of attracting investment in Xiantao City, and the main leaders of Xiantao City Party Committee went thousands of miles to the West Lake in Hangzhou to talk about Rong Bai's new integration strategy by the Yangtze River.

At the same time, investment in Xiantao City can not only form a coordinated linkage with the Ezhou base in the same Wuhan city circle, but also avoid the investment risk of over-concentrated business layout, which is conducive to the long-term and sound development of enterprises.

What impressed Bai Houshan was that in order to make the project bigger, Xiantao City took the initiative to contact the relevant areas in Wuhan, matchmaking, and recommended Rongbai Group to locate the Central China Regional headquarters and New Energy Technology Research Institute in Wuhan. "the atmosphere, there is a pattern, and is good at planning a regional development with integrated thinking." Bai Houshan comments.

The investment scale of Rongbai Group in Xiantao City increased from 100000 tons to 200000 tons, and then to 400000 tons.

24-hour "green channel"

Enable customized services

On October 18, 2021, Xiantao formally signed a framework agreement with Rongbai Group. The "second half of the article", in which the service project is effective as soon as possible, has already begun quietly.

"sign the contract on the same day and start work on the same day!" Bai Houshan sighed. According to the general work flow, it is only after the formal signing of the contract that land requisition, demolition, land acquisition and construction begin. On the other hand, Xiantao City, based on its trust in Rongbai Group, broke the working routine and took the first step to carry out the work of land expropriation, demolition and leveling, so as to speed up the project.

Throw the peach and return the plum. After signing the framework agreement, Rongbai Group also began to work hard on factory design. After the preliminary determination of the location of the project, the two-level cadres of Changyukou Town, Xiantao City, were moved by the order, and every household came to do the work, carrying out the land requisition and demolition work ahead of schedule. Chaowan Village and Zhuwan Village delivered 900 mu of land in advance within 10 days when the compensation funds did not arrive.

To turn the "raw land" into "ripe land", the project plots covered with fish ponds require 1.2 million cubic meters of earthwork only for backfilling. "if you follow the routine operation, it will take 200 days for people to shut down their machines 24 hours a day." Nie Jing, deputy director of the Management Committee of Xiantao High-tech Zone, said.

In order to ensure the signing of the contract, on the one hand, the high-tech zone maximizes sand blowing and backfilling, on the other hand, it organizes vehicles to drag earth and backfill at full power. At the peak, there are 200 engineering vehicles busy at the site day and night.

Positive base construction, financial financing, capacity fund matters, engineering equipment company landing. Before the project was settled and started, all kinds of issues were numerous and complicated. Xiantao City has set up 11 docking special classes, led by the city leader, and the person in charge of the relevant departments directly under the city list the claim task one by one.

"customized services are fully supported by the municipal party committee and municipal government, and the secretary and mayor set up a coordination headquarters to provide a 'green channel' 24 hours a day. At the same time, the working mode is changed from series to parallel, and land expropriation, demolition, and earthwork backfilling are carried out at the same time. While expropriating land while applying for indicators from the province, while doing construction design." Hu Chunping, director of the Xiantao government office, said.

With the support of the direct department of Hubei Province, Xiantao lifted the strength of the whole city to realize that Rong Baixiantao base has the conditions to start work before signing the contract.

Rush to the beach new energy track

Build a strong chain of characteristic industries

"Xiantao base will become the world's largest modern, intelligent, gardening high-end power lithium cathode material large-scale production base." Introduced by Bai Houshan. The construction of the project is divided into three phases. After the first phase of the project is contracted and started, it can be put into production by the end of the year. When the project reaches full production in 2030, the annual sales will reach about 70 billion yuan, creating 5000 jobs.

In addition to the layout of the positive manufacturing base in Xiantao City, Rongbai Group has also set up new energy engineering equipment companies, Rongbai College, new power system demonstration base and other industries in Xiantao City.

Looking at Hubei Province, Rongbai Group also laid out the regional headquarters of Central China, the New Energy Technology Research Institute and the industrial fund in Wuhan. The industrial fund of Rongbai Group will be invested in the relevant enterprises in the battery recycling industry chain to form the business coordination and innovation coordination of the industry chain system in Hubei Province.

Ningde era settled in Yichang, BYD invested in Xiangyang. Under the background of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, Hubei Province has built hundreds of billions of new energy characteristic industrial clusters, and various places have rushed to the new energy track.

In recent years, Xiantao City has seized the opportunity of building hundreds of billions of new energy characteristic industrial clusters in Hubei, made a breakthrough in the development of new energy and new materials industry, laid out the first zero-carbon science and technology industrial park in Hubei Province in advance, and signed a number of high-quality upstream and downstream projects. is making every effort to build a unique and competitive industrial base of new energy and new materials in Central China.
