We should thoroughly study and seriously understand the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader, effectively unify our thoughts and actions with the central government’s major policies, and strive to build Zhejiang into a benchmark province for the healthy development of the private economy.
Strive to continue to be at the forefront in promoting entrepreneurial innovation, transformation and upgrading of the private economy.
It is a major policy established by our party to implement the basic economic system with public ownership as the main body and multiple ownership economies developing together. Both the public-owned economy and the non-public-owned economy are important components of the socialist market economy and an important foundation for China’s economic and social development. Comrade Supreme Leader reiterated that the position and role of the non-public sector of the economy in China’s economic and social development have not changed. Our principles and policies of unswervingly encouraging, supporting and guiding the development of the non-public sector of the economy have not changed. Our principles and policies of creating a good environment and providing more opportunities for the development of the non-public sector of the economy have not changed. These "three things have not changed" are in line with our party’s repeated emphasis on "unswervingly consolidating and developing the public sector of the economy" and "unswervingly encouraging, supporting and guiding the development of the non-public sector of the economy" and keep pace with the times, clearing the fog and eliminating the noise, conveying confidence more precious than gold to private enterprises and greatly inspiring their enthusiasm for entrepreneurial innovation. When the Supreme Leader worked in Zhejiang, he attached great importance to the development of private economy, designed a road map for the development of private economy in Zhejiang, and made a series of major decisions and arrangements. Under the cordial care and direct guidance of the Supreme Leader, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee insisted on drawing a blueprint to the end and consistently grasping it to the end, and the private economy flourished, setting off another development climax since the reform and opening up. At present,The role of Zhejiang private economy in the province’s economy can be summarized as "6789", that is, it pays about 60% of taxes, creates about 70% of GDP, contributes about 80% of foreign trade exports and provides about 90% of employment opportunities. It can be said that the private economy is the magic weapon for Zhejiang’s development, the golden signboard for Zhejiang’s external development and the source of wealth for Zhejiang people.
At present, the development of Zhejiang private economy has reached a new threshold, facing both rare development opportunities and many difficulties and challenges. We should unify our ideological understanding with the judgment of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the general secretary on the development situation, further strengthen our confidence, comprehensively implement the new development concept, vigorously promote the entrepreneurial innovation, transformation and upgrading of the private economy, and break a new world under the new normal of economic development.

Strive to continue to be at the forefront in creating a good environment and atmosphere for the development of private economy.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party and the state have launched a series of reform measures on the development of non-public economy, and formed a policy system to encourage, support and guide the development of non-public economy. Comrade Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to enhance the gold content and operability of policies; Ensure that all policies are fully implemented. In view of the phenomenon that the policy implementation is not in place, he clearly pointed out the outstanding problems such as "glass door", "spring door" and "revolving door", the iceberg of the market, the mountain of financing and the volcano in transition, and clearly proposed to focus on solving the "five major problems". This is of great guiding significance for us to better serve private enterprises and remove obstacles to the development of private economy. When the Supreme Leader was working in Zhejiang, he led the formulation of policies and measures to encourage, support and guide the development of the private economy, such as "Several Opinions on Promoting the New Leap of the Private Economy" by the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government. In recent years, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government have launched many major reform measures in the administrative examination and approval system, commercial registration system, local financial system and market-oriented allocation of factors, creating a good policy environment and social atmosphere for the development of the private economy.
We should continue to conscientiously implement the principles and policies of the CPC Central Committee on the development of private economy, constantly improve the pertinence, effectiveness and operability of supporting measures, help enterprises "move three mountains" and "open three doors", promote the implementation of various policies, and thoroughly get through the "last meter". Resolutely liberalize market access, and encourage and support private capital to enter industries and fields that are not explicitly prohibited by laws and regulations; For basic public projects that can adopt market-oriented operation, it is fully open to private capital; All areas that allow foreign investment are open to private capital. Effectively reduce the burden on enterprises, do a good job of "cost reduction" in accordance with the requirements of supply-side structural reform, and truly reduce the institutional transaction cost, electricity and gas cost, logistics cost, financial cost, labor cost and tax burden of enterprises. Constantly strengthen policy propaganda, comprehensively sort out the policies and measures that have been introduced, simplify them, and make a list or brochure, so that private enterprises can see clearly and operate simply, and constantly expand the coverage of policy propaganda and the benefit of policy services. Efforts will be made to create a good atmosphere, continue to carry forward the spirit of "shop assistant", speed up the construction of public service system, and provide all-round and whole-process support and nanny and expert services for private enterprises, so that every private entrepreneur can invest with peace of mind, do things smoothly and start a business comfortably.
Strive to continue to be at the forefront in promoting the majority of non-public economic people to be qualified builders of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause.
Promoting the healthy development of non-public economy and the healthy growth of non-public economic people is a major economic issue as well as a major political issue. The Supreme Leader stressed that the healthy development of the non-public sector of the economy depends on the healthy growth of non-public sector of the economy, and put forward that the majority of non-public sector of the economy should learn, educate and improve themselves and become qualified builders of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. When the Supreme Leader was working in Zhejiang, he clearly pointed out that Zhejiang businessmen should carry forward the spirit of keeping pace with the times and strive to be excellent builders of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Private entrepreneurs in Zhejiang are the most active entrepreneurs in China. We should guide the vast number of private entrepreneurs to be strict with themselves with the ardent expectations of the supreme leader comrades, carry out in-depth education and practice activities of ideals and beliefs focusing on "abiding by the law, being honest and firm in confidence", attach importance to credit, morality and reputation, actively practice socialist core values, and be a model of patriotism, dedication, law-abiding management, entrepreneurial innovation and returning to society. Guide private enterprises to actively participate in activities such as "all enterprises help all villages" and "glorious cause", actively participate in social undertakings such as poverty alleviation and development, disaster relief, charity and so on, do more practical and good things to comply with public opinion, solve people’s worries and benefit people’s livelihood, and build a "monument" in the minds of hometown elders. Pay attention to the education and training of the younger generation of non-public economic people, and guide them to inherit and carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit of the older generation of entrepreneurs and the glorious tradition of listening to and following the party.
Building a good relationship between government and business is an important basis for promoting "two health". The supreme leader comrade proposed to build a new type of political and business relationship, stressed the need to grasp the standards of "pro" and "clean", and put forward requirements for leading cadres and private entrepreneurs respectively. The words "pro" and "Qing" are concise and unpretentious, but also rich in philosophy and meaningful, which hit the point of the current political and business relationship, pointed out the way for leading cadres and private entrepreneurs to get along with each other under the new situation, defined the boundaries and set the rules. When working in Zhejiang, the Supreme Leader pointed out that leading cadres at all levels should support the development of private enterprises on the one hand, and be pro-business, wealthy businessmen and safe businessmen; On the other hand, when dealing with entrepreneurs, we must have a sense of proportion, distinguish between public and private, and a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. We should deeply understand these important expositions made by the Supreme Leader, practice the new relationship between politics and business with "closeness" and "clearness", and achieve "law", "square" and "boundary" in communication, so as to close the relationship between politics and business with "closeness" and standardize the relationship between politics and business with "clearness". For leading cadres, it is necessary to put "pro"The word "Qing" is regarded as a yardstick of diligence for the people and a clean and honest rule. It should not only be a "shop assistant" of private enterprises, but also establish and improve the regular communication mechanism between party and government leading cadres and non-public economic people, and do everything possible to help enterprises solve problems; We also pay attention to strengthening our own self-cultivation, being cautious about trivial matters, keeping the bottom line, keeping a good sense of proportion, preventing micro-duration, being uncorrupted, and not exceeding the law, discipline and personal gain. For private entrepreneurs, it is necessary to take the word "pro" and "clear" as the motto of communicating with leading cadres and the major principle of enterprise’s law-abiding operation. They should not only get rich, think about the source, serve the mulberry, actively communicate with party committees, governments and departments at all levels, tell the truth, tell the truth and make suggestions, and enthusiastically support the development of their hometown; Lead an honest and clean life, never cross the line, always take the right path, never pay bribes, and do business in a law-abiding and aboveboard manner.
