Morning of April 29: As a pioneer of China-Africa production capacity cooperation, Jin'ang Group was invited to discuss cooperation with Africa with the Zhuzhou Municipal Government, the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation and Zhuzhou Modern Logistics Group. With 'complementary advantages and industrial synergy' as the core going-global concept, this meeting established the strategic cooperation direction between Jin'ang Group, the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation and Zhuzhou Modern Logistics Group!
The Zhuzhou Municipal Government organized this meeting, fully demonstrating its strategic emphasis on China-Africa economic and trade cooperation. Jiang Xianghui, Deputy Mayor of Zhuzhou, Yao Yi, Deputy District Mayor of Lusong District, and Li Shuming, Director of the Zhuzhou Customs Office in Liling, attended the meeting. During the agenda, Ke Xiangjin, Chairman of Jin'ang Group, Zhou Li, Deputy General Manager of Zhuzhou Modern Logistics Group, and Zhang Hongtao, President of the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation, all introduced the background, goals and current progress of their projects and put forward development plans. Deputy Mayor Jiang Xianghui proposed at the meeting: government and enterprises should work together to build an industrial going-global matrix, accelerate the deep connection between local 100-billion-level industrial clusters such as apparel and rail transit equipment and the African market, and create a new high ground for the open economy of inland cities!
I. Jin'ang Group's Business Model Innovation of 'Equipment + Cargo Rights + Platform'
As the focus of the meeting, Wu Nanting, Deputy General Manager of Jin'ang Group, systematically explained Jin'ang Group's business model innovation of 'equipment + cargo rights + platform' and gave a comprehensive introduction to the Group's existing business with Africa. As a key enterprise in Hunan Province's work with Africa, Jin'ang Group joined with Shiyuan Capital in 2019 to lay out African mineral resource development, and at the same time built in Mozambique the China-Mozambique Mining Cooperation Demonstration Zone with a total value of USD 500 million. It has now officially become a national-level key project of Mozambique, has been included in Hunan Province's key economic and trade cooperation with Africa, and has become a national-level park demonstration project, achieving economic integration!
The China-Mozambique Cooperation Demonstration Zone is located in Zambezia Province, Mozambique, covering a total area of 172 square kilometers, with a planned total investment of USD 500 million. Over 8-10 years it will be built into a modern green mining and energy industry cooperation demonstration park of 'one zone, seven centers', covering a mineral beneficiation and smelting center, a trading center, an inspection and testing center, a warehousing and logistics center, an equipment manufacturing center, an exhibition center, a mine visualization and smart management center, and a living service area. Jin'ang Group has always taken 'building the enterprise on mining and serving the country with resources' as its mission, and has formed in Africa a coordinated development matrix of mine development, mineral investment, industrial park construction, cross-border trade and investment and financing services, achieving efficient resource development through intelligent equipment and green technology systems. At the same time, the Group breaks new ground with an innovative model — launching an African mineral cluster platform and pioneering a flexible solution of 'equipment first, ore payment', providing African mine owners with full-chain services from equipment supply and technology empowerment to ore monetization; the 'ore payment financial innovation of zero down payment' starts the mining mechanism and also provides mine owners with advance payment cash flow support, while establishing an 'outstanding mine owner LP plan' to share interests between resource holders and capital providers through a limited partnership structure. It has now completed cooperation on 6 mineral projects, and the Group's five-year IPO plan further demonstrates the capital market's recognition of the value of the mineral cluster platform built by Jin'ang!
During the agenda, Ye Tianyi, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation, reported on the preparation of the International (China-Africa) Product Selection Center and proposed:
1. Industrial resonance: building a dual going-global pattern of 'mining + manufacturing';
2. A new engine for apparel going global: the China-Africa Product Selection Center opens in June.
Addressing the pain point of the 'difficulty of going global' in Zhuzhou's 100-billion-level apparel industry, the International (China-Africa) Apparel Product Selection Center project in Lusong District, Zhuzhou, will be accelerated. With the support of the Zhuzhou Municipal Government and under the leadership of the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation, it will build 'two warehouses and one platform' to break the barrier that has kept Zhuzhou's apparel industry from going global.
The 'two warehouses' are the China warehouse and the Africa warehouse, and the 'one platform' is the Wutong Platform;
China warehouse: an 8,000-square-meter smart product selection center located in downtown Zhuzhou, integrating display, warehousing, livestreaming and talent incubation functions, and regularly hosting 'Into Africa' economic and trade events;
Africa warehouse: an intelligent warehousing and exhibition center built inside Jin'ang Group's China-Mozambique Demonstration Zone, jointly building an online 'Zhuzhou Apparel Hall' with Kilimall (Africa's largest e-commerce platform);
Wutong Platform: a digital China-Africa apparel ecosystem platform that connects the OAO (online-and-offline integration) model and provides full-process payment, legal and settlement services.
The project is scheduled to officially open in June this year during the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo. The Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation hopes to work with Jin'ang Group to build a China-Africa apparel ecosystem sharing platform, complementing each other's advantages and joining forces! At the same time, relying on the resource advantages of the Lusong apparel industrial chain, it will provide full-industrial-chain cross-border trade services through an industrial-belt product selection center, comprehensive port cross-border services, an overseas marketing center and an international service system!
Ye Tianyi, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation, explicitly requested government leaders to support the Zhuzhou apparel industry by organizing the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the Lusong District People's Government, the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation, Zhuzhou City Development Group and Hunan Jin'ang Group to carry out industrial cooperation, open up the apparel going-global channel and push China-Africa trade to a new level! Zhang Hongtao, President of the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation, proposed: with the support of government leaders, to promote cooperation between Jin'ang Group and the Zhuzhou Apparel Industry Federation, quickly establish an expert group, advance coordinated industrial going-global, and secure policy support, striving to achieve the first batch of apparel exports within the year.
Zhuzhou Modern Logistics Group Co., Ltd. is a wholly state-owned enterprise of Zhuzhou City under Zhuzhou Urban Construction and Development Group Co., Ltd. Founded in October 2024 with total assets of RMB 5.3 billion, its main business covers international and domestic logistics, international and domestic trade, railway station operation, inland river terminal operation, bonded logistics park operation, agricultural product centralized procurement and distribution, cold-chain warehousing and logistics, and online freight platforms. It has Hunan Xiangyuefei International Logistics Co., Ltd., Zhuzhou Smart Logistics Co., Ltd. and other companies, and invests in and operates core assets such as the Zhuzhou Comprehensive Logistics Distribution Center, Zhuzhou Port, the Zhuzhou Agricultural Products Cold Chain Logistics Park, the Zhuzhou Tongtangwan Bonded Logistics Center (Type B), the Zhuzhou Smart Logistics Information Platform, and the Zhuzhou Food Safety Smart Dynamic Monitoring and Supply Chain Platform, and operates the Xiangyuefei rail-sea intermodal corridor.
To thoroughly implement the strategic deployment of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on the 'Year of Improving the Efficiency of Opening-Up' and accelerate the building of the two strategic goals of a 'China-Africa Economic and Trade Land Port' and a 'China-Africa Barter Trade Center', in 2025 the logistics group focused its research on some enterprises in the province that trade with Africa, gaining an in-depth understanding of their business needs, cooperation potential and market dynamics, and exploring opportunities for trade cooperation with Africa. At the meeting, Zhou Li, Deputy General Manager of Zhuzhou Modern Logistics Group, proposed an equipment manufacturing synergy plan and a supply chain restructuring plan, aligning with Zhuzhou's rail transit industry advantages and innovating an 'ore transport + equipment export' linkage model: using Africa's ore transport demand to drive Zhuzhou's export of railway freight cars (planned exports of 1,300 units in 2025), while improving mining area logistics infrastructure through equipment output, forming a virtuous industrial cycle, and building an integrated logistics system of 'African mining area — domestic port — Zhuzhou industrial park', compressing cross-border transport costs by 15%-20% through the Xiangyuefei rail-sea intermodal corridor, overseas warehouse layout and a digital customs system.
IV. Strategic Outlook: Creating a New Beginning for China-Africa Cooperation
'We are witnessing the beginning of a new era.' Ke Xiangjin, Chairman of Jin'ang Group, said that through government-enterprise collaborative innovation, we will deeply link Zhuzhou's manufacturing advantages, Hunan's mining resources, China's industrial capacity and Africa's development needs. 'As the head of Jin'ang Group, I deeply feel Zhuzhou's sound business environment and its determination to promote industry going global. In this profound change unseen in a century, under the influence of the broader environment, economic uncertainty will stimulate the drive for innovation and transformation. As the saying goes, “a crisis is also a turning point”. We should respond to challenges with a positive attitude, seize opportunities and achieve sustainable development of the enterprise. I firmly believe that under the government's guidance, through policy empowerment and enterprise innovation, Zhuzhou's apparel industry will see new development in going global. Zhuzhou is a major economic city integrating production, industry and trade; apparel going global not only creates a “Zhuzhou model” of China-Africa economic and trade cooperation, but also explores a sustainable development path of “resource security + industrial output + digital empowerment”. On behalf of Jin'ang Group, I look forward to taking this exchange as an opportunity: as cooperation projects accelerate, a new China-Africa cooperation ecosystem of government-enterprise synergy, industry-finance integration and mutual benefit is rising, which will surely inject surging momentum into Belt and Road construction and write a practical chapter of the China-Africa community with a shared future!'
Jin'ang Group closely follows the national strategic direction, actively practices the Belt and Road Initiative, rides the fast train of Hunan's economic and trade cooperation policies with Africa, invests heavily in African mineral development, and deeply lays out full-industrial-chain business from source to end user.
As a key enterprise in Hunan Province's economic and trade cooperation with Africa, the Group takes 'building the enterprise on mining and serving the country with resources' as its mission, solves the development difficulties of small and medium-sized African mining companies through model innovation, and focuses on building a digital and intelligent mineral cluster platform, forming a coordinated development matrix of mine development, mineral investment, industrial park construction, cross-border trade and investment and financing services. It achieves efficient resource development through intelligent equipment and green technology systems, and is committed to becoming a benchmark enterprise in China-Africa economic and trade cooperation, contributing to the high-quality development of China-Africa economic and trade cooperation.
