二十年来，皮革城始终坚守着“建设一个市场、振兴一门产业、繁荣一片经济、富裕一方群众”的神圣使命，对海宁经济社会的发展起到了重要作用。

Over the past 20 years , the Leather City has maintained the sacred mission of “Building a market, revitalizing an industry, flourishing an economy and enriching the locals”, and has played an important role in the economic and social development of Haining.

一是推动了皮革特色产业的壮大和提升。皮革城的建设，为皮革原材料供应、商品交易、信息交流提供了良好的平台，为广大皮革企业尤其是中小企业发展创造了良好的机遇和条件。

First, promote the expansion and promotion of the leather featured industry. The construction of the Leather City provides a good platform for the supply of leather raw materials, commodity trading and information exchange, and creates good opportunities and conditions for the development of leather enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

二是推动了第三产业的快速发展。皮革城市场的繁荣带来了人流、物资流、资金流、信息流，为物流运输、通讯、商业、金融、餐饮、外包服务等第三产业的发展提供了物质基础，每年数以百万计的游客远道而来，孕育了海宁服务业的蓬勃发展。

Second, promote the rapid development of the tertiary industry. The prosperity of the market in the Leather City has brought flow, material flow, capital flow and information flow and provided a material basis for the development of logistics transportation, communications, commerce, finance, catering, outsourcing service and other tertiary industries. Millions of tourists come from afar every year, breeding the flourishing development of Haining service industry.

三是增加了就业，富裕了群众。皮革城市场的建设，以及由之衍生的配套生产和服务，提供了大量的创业机会和就业岗位，不仅培育了一批专门从事皮革商品批发销售的“老板”，使他们找到了创业致富之路，也吸收了许多下岗员工再就业，减轻了政府的就业压力与经济负担。据统计，皮革城现有经营户3200多户，吸纳的直接就业人员超2万人。

Third, increase employment and enrich the masses. The construction of the market in the Leather City and the associated production and services deriving from it have provided a large number of entrepreneurial opportunities and jobs. A group of “Bosses” specializing in wholesale sales of leather commodities has been cultivated, enabling them to find a way to become rich. Moreover, many laid-off workers are re-employed, reducing the employment pressure and economic burden on the government. According to statistics, the Leather City has more than 3,200 households, absorbing more than 20,000 direct employment personnel.

四是加速城镇化进程，改善了海宁投资环境。皮革城市场的兴旺带动了周边区块酒店、房产及工业区块的开发建设，促进了城镇发展。因为皮革城的建立，使一部分原来靠土地吃饭的农民走入城市，成为新城市人。同时，在公司上市后，壮大了海宁国资实力，为进一步改善海宁投资环境提供了经济基础，提高了海宁经济对外影响力和知名度。

Fourth, accelerate the urbanization process, and improve the investment environment in Haining. The flourishing market in the Leather City promotes the development and construction of hotels in surrounding blocks, property and industrial blocks, and drives the development of cities and towns. Because of the establishment of the Leather City, some peasants who used to rely on land to feed themselves enter the city and become new city dwellers. At the same time, after the listing of the Company, the strength of Haining’s state assets has been enhanced, which provides the economic foundation for further improving the investment environment of Haining, and enhances the influence and popularity of Haining’s economy.

五是结合人杰地灵的地方特色，充分利用自身独特的商品优势促进了旅游业的发展。特别是和盐官景区旅游相联系，开创了“游风情古街，观海宁大潮，逛时尚皮城”的旅游专线，促进了海宁特色旅游业的发展，繁荣了海宁的旅游事业。

Fifth, combining the local characteristics of good place and outstanding people, make full use of the unique commodity advantages to promote the development of tourism. Especially in connection with the tourism of Yanguan Scenic Spot, the tourist special line of “the ancient street with a local color, the tide of Haining and the fashionable Leather City” has promoted the development of Haining’s characteristic tourism industry and prospered Haining’s tourism career.

走过了20年的风雨历程，也取得了业界公认的业绩，下一步，皮革城将继续推进“内函式增长和外延式扩张”并举的发展战略，向“我看世界 风尚看我”的时尚化和国际化迈进，将继续坚持依托产业、服务产业、发展产业为宗旨，拓展发展领域，加强内部管理，加快人才培养，进一步夯实“四个中心”（世界皮革加工制造中心、中国皮革展示交易中心、中国皮衣时尚发布中心、长三角旅游休闲购物中心）建设，打造“三个市场”（品牌市场、人文市场、和谐市场），为中国皮革产业的发展和海宁经济发展再作新的贡献。

After 20 years of wind and rain, it has also made recognized achievements in the industry. In the next step, the Leather City will continue to promote the development strategy of “Internal growth and extended expansion” and walk towards the fashion and internationalization that “I see the world and hold the fashion”. It will continue to adhere to the aim of relying on the industry, serving the industry and developing the industry, expand development fields, strengthen internal management, speed up personnel training, further tamp the construction of the “Four centers” (world leather processing and manufacturing center, China leather display and trading center, China leather clothing fashion publishing center and Yangtze River Delta tourism, leisure and shopping center) and build “Three markets” (brand market, humanistic market and harmonious market to make new contributions to the development of China’s leather industry and Haining economy.
