[Financial Analysis] 10 yuan ticket, a trillion-dollar financial foundation! Data reveals the truth about "Su Chao" s screen sweeping

Xinhua Finance, June 9 (Li Yifan, Zhou Xilun) On June 1, Paris Saint-Germain swept Inter Milan 5-0, setting the largest score difference record in the history of the Champions League final.

Almost at the same time, Jiangsu, which is more than 8,000 kilometers away, is holding a "world's purest football match" with "the first game and the fourth friendship" - Jiangsu Provincial Urban Football League, commonly known as "Soviet Super League".

data shows that 64,500 spectators attended the Champions League final, 22,200 spectators attended the match between Xuzhou and Lianyungang, and 22,600 spectators attended the match between Yancheng and Huai'an. As of June 2025, the total value of Paris Saint-Germain's team exceeded 900 million euros, and among all 516 participating players of the "Soviet Super League", there are only 29 professional players, and the rest are students, teachers, programmers, and takeaways...

As for the popularity of the two on domestic social networks, the "Soviet Super League" is even better. "There is no fake football, only the feud", "The Chu-Han battle", "The Southern Jiangsu derby", "There are not many strokes left for Changzhou"... Netizens play with memes to a new level, and "Su Chao" has become a new top star.

It has been a whole month since the start of the "Soviet Super League". This weekend, the "Soviet Super League" will also usher in the fourth round of the competition, and the "fight against each other" will be staged again. The "football derby" on the court, the "industrial derby" off the court, and the city's development are the real secrets of the "Soviet Super League" flooding the screen.

"Jiangsu Confidence", how thick is the family?

Why is "Su Chao" so popular?

One of the key reasons is economic strength.

Although the attendance rate of the "Soviet Super League" is high, each ticket is only 10 to 20 yuan. In the first round of the competition, it is even free to watch in many cities, and security fees and venue fees cannot be covered. It is understood that the expenses of teams in various places are mainly sponsored by local companies and subsidized by their cities. The annual cost is about 10 million yuan, and additional training subsidies for each player are required.

The only thing that can support such subsidies is the "economic province".

In 2024, Jiangsu Province's GDP (regional GDP) exceeded 13 trillion yuan, achieving "average GDP of over 1 trillion yuan", with total GDP second only to Guangdong Province, and its increase reached the highest in the country.

Moreover, the GDP of 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province exceeded 450 billion yuan, making it the most "balanced" province in the country's prefecture-level cities.

The proximity of economic strength has eliminated the narrative of "strong-weak opposition" between traditional cities, allowing the confrontation to return to pure regional characteristics competition, and also created this "Jiangsu confidence" that is frequent and joking.

Putting aside the complacency and frustration on the court, the "broad of flowers" in economic and industrial development of 13 cities in Jiangsu is the fundamental reason for "Jiangsu's confidence".

Dominate the "Soviet Super League", what other "good footballs" are there in "Brother Nan"?

After the third round of the "Soviet Super League", Nantong team ranked first in the total points list with three wins and one loss. Nanjing team temporarily ranked third in the points list with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. A netizen in Nantong immediately called Nanjing: "Call Nan Brothers!" The two "Brothers Nan" on the court were dissatisfied with each other, so what about the development outside the court?

The newly promoted "Nan Ge" Nantong has taken the lead in creating a "616" modern industrial system and cultivating six trillion-level industrial clusters.

According to the data of the China Economic and Social Security Industry Insight Industry Data Service Platform (hereinafter referred to as the "Industry Insight System"), Nantong has frequently produced "good balls" in the two industries of home textiles and ship manufacturing.

As an important base of China's textile industry, Nantong has more than 15,000 home textile companies, including 63 high-tech enterprises and 11 specialized and specialized enterprises. Listed companies such as Luolai Home Textiles and Mengbaihe are all Nantong enterprises. The

industry insight system shows that Nantong’s home textile industry chain scores more than 92 points, ranking first in the country, and 8 industrial segments ranked first in the country. It can be said that "the world's home textiles look at China, and the Chinese textiles look at Nantong." In terms of strategic emerging industries, Nantong also leads the country in the two sub-industry nodes of ship manufacturing, with a score of nearly 90 points in the entire industry chain, ranking second in the country.

China COSCO Shipping Kawasaki, China Merchants Heavy Industry, Zhenhua Heavy Industry, Singapore Haiting and other leading domestic and foreign companies gathered in Nantong. Currently, Nantong's shipbuilding and offshore manufacturing scale accounts for 1/10 and 1/4 of the country, respectively, with an industrial scale exceeding 200 billion yuan.

Another "Nan Brother" Nanjing is the "big winner" in the power grid industry and software information industry.

Nanjing has built a power grid industry chain covering nine key links: "delivery, transmission, change, distribution, use, dispatch, communication, comprehensive energy services, and power network security". The power automation equipment industry chain scored nearly 90 points, and 6 industrial segmented nodes ranked first.

In 2022, Nanjing issued the "Nanjing Action Plan to Make a 500 billion-level Smart Grid Industry Cluster", including it in the "4266" industrial system, and clarifying the goal of "improving global competitiveness". At present, Nanjing’s smart grid industry cluster ranks first in Jiangsu Province, with more than 3,000 related enterprises, including more than 600 high-quality enterprises such as A-share listed enterprises, high-tech enterprises, specialized and new enterprises.

Take Jiangning District as an example. As early as 2011, Jiangning District issued the "Five-Year Plan for the Development of Jiangning District Smart Grid Industrial Park", proposing to build a complete smart grid industrial cluster through the agglomeration effect of the smart grid industrial park.

In 2013, the "chain leader" enterprises of the two major smart grid industries, Nanrui Group and Guodian Nanzi, successively settled in Jiangning, and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises also settled in one after another. The scale of the industry has grown stronger and stronger, forming a complete industrial chain and ecological system. In 2024, Jiangning District's smart grid industry achieved an output value of 193.258 billion yuan, an increase of 10.6% year-on-year.

In the software information industry, Nanjing, known as the "famous software city in China", has more than 120,000 companies, with an industry score of more than 90 points.

Huawei, ZTE, Chengmai, Runhe... has more than 3,600 key soft-related enterprises, and the industrial chain covers basic software, industrial software, new platform software and embedded software. In the past three years, the number of patent applications exceeded 16,000 per year, full of innovation vitality.

is sandwiched between the two "Nan Ge". The Yancheng team, which ranks second in points, belongs to the type of "making a fortune in silence".

The Yancheng team won 3:0 in the first game and made a "stunning success". Netizens joked, "Yancheng, you are really flat here, not a mountain." "No, but now there is one, and the mountain is zero." The same is true for industrial development. When it comes to the new energy vehicle industry city, you can think of Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Xi'an, but you don't know that this is also one of the key industries of Yancheng.

Leading company Yueda Kia Automobile has been in Yancheng for many years, and its products are sold to Mexico, Chile, Colombia and other countries. FAW Pentium Xiaoma, Guorun Commercial Vehicles, Yueda Special Vehicles and other companies are new highlights of Yancheng's new energy vehicle industry.

In 2024, the added value of automobile manufacturing above-scale in Yancheng increased by 44.0%, and the output of new energy vehicles increased by 5.9 times.

The heroes compete, who is the first to advance in the "lumbar city"?

In the "Soviet Super League" standings, compared with the 9 points and 7 points far ahead, the "lumbar city" Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, who are firmly in the tail of the team, and 3 to 5 points in the middle, the competition is the most fierce, and they are all ready to take on the new round of competition.

These cities are also chasing each other in terms of industry. For example, in 2022, Suqian's GDP surpassed Lianyungang for the first time, and was surpassed by Lianyungang in 2023, and once again surpassed Lianyungang in 2024.

The match between Zhenjiang and Suqian was teased by the audience as a showdown between "jealous jar" and "wine jar".

Needless to say, "Vinegar Jar" does not have a bottle of Zhenjiang vinegar? But you may not know that Zhenjiang's glasses may be wearing on the bridge of your nose. Industry insight data shows that Zhenjiang City ranks first in the country in terms of industry node scores such as glasses molds and glasses frames. In 2024, Zhenjiang's annual output of lenses was more than 400 million pairs, accounting for 75% of the national total lens production and 50% of the global total.

One of the rare common things that Jiangsu people in "bulk" may be that they all went to Zhenjiang Danyang Glasses City to wear glasses. "Jiangsu People's Glasses Guide" and "Danyang Glasses Tour" are everywhere on social networks.

"Su Liquor" is the backbone of Suqian. It owns two famous liquors, Yanghe Co., Ltd. and Shuanggou Liquor Industry. It is one of the world's top ten spirit wine production areas and one of the three major wetland famous liquor production areas. The output value of the liquor industry accounts for nearly 80% of Jiangsu and 5.8% of the country. There are also dozens of wine companies including Qianlong Jiangnan, Yuzhen, Fenjinting, Pacific, Hanjiangfang, Suyang, Liefeng, etc.

In addition to liquor, Suqian also has a niche and unpopular but ranked first in the country - bus shelters.

Suqian City's bus shelter industry is highly concentrated in Suyu High-tech Zone and Suqian Economic Development Zone. Currently, it has gathered nearly 500 related companies, such as Jiangsu Ainier Group (invested in the Laike Ruibo project), Jiangsu Orte advertising equipment, Jiangsu Yuantai Intelligent Transportation, etc., forming a complete industrial chain from design, R&D, production to installation.

The bus stops you squeezed through in those years were Suqian for you to "shelter you from the wind and rain". In the machinery manufacturing industry, there are Xuzhou and Taizhou's "learning and catching up".

Xuzhou's construction machinery industry cluster is known as the "No. 1 Industry". The annual output value of the industrial cluster exceeds 200 billion yuan, the national market accounted for more than 20%, and the number of related companies exceeded 10,000.

Taizhou is the largest private shipbuilding base in the country and the only prefecture-level city with a shipbuilding completion volume of over 10 million decayts in the country. Its comprehensive score of the ship manufacturing industry is 87.91 points, ranking fourth in the country in cities, and its five industrial sub-nodes ranks among the top in the country.

, and Huai'an and Lianyungang are both "underground treasure cities".

Huai'an, known as the "Salt Capital of China", has particularly rich salt resources, with proven rock and salt reserves reaching 130 billion tons, ranking first in the world. The salt ore, brine ore and soda ash industry nodes ranked first, second and fourth in the country, and the entire industry score ranked first in the country.

Lianyungang is a major mineral producer and has proven 49 types of mineral resources. Its non-metallic minerals and ore industry score is 88.6, ranking first in the country.

And the special member of the quartz family, Crystal, is the treasure of Lianyungang. Donghai County ranks first in the country in terms of crystal reserves and quality. It is China's largest silicon industry base, processing and export base for crystal crafts and other products. It has been awarded the title of "Crystal Capital of China". Its five industrial sub-point scores are ranked first in the country, including quartz pipes, quartz crucibles, quartz sand, quartz materials and quartz products.

Yangzhou is the most "down-to-earth" city in Jiangsu. What everyone must do after waking up and before going to bed every day is closely related to this city. That is - brushing teeth.

The wealthy life of Yangzhou people is not an exaggeration. Colgate, Sanxiao, Beijiajie, Liangmianzhen... Most of the toothbrush brands you can think of come from here. The industry score exceeds 92 points, making Yangzhou a well-deserved "first toothbrush city".

Yangzhou Hangji Town is the world's largest oral care products base. It produces 7.5 billion toothbrushes annually, with an output value of more than 13 billion yuan, accounting for more than 80% of the domestic market, and is exported to more than 80 countries and regions around the world. One of the three toothbrushes in the world is produced from Hangji..

Now, Hangzhou Ji has 4,000 toothbrush and hotel supplies production and supporting enterprises, with annual sales of more than 30 billion yuan, forming a complete industrial chain from raw materials, machines, molds to workers and sales personnel. Where can I win back if I lose on the court?

"Suxi and Xichang" who are known as the "Three Hegemons of Taihu Lake", three cities with a GDP of trillions are ranked last in the "Soviet Super League", and since then they have the new title of "Three Idiots in Taihu Lake".

But those who lost on the court won the industry one after another.

In 2024, Suzhou's GDP reached 2672.698 billion yuan, firmly ranking first in Jiangsu, and flourished in the fields of electronic information, equipment manufacturing, biomedicine, etc.

In the past two years, Suzhou has built a "1030" industrial system composed of 10 key industrial clusters and 30 key industrial chains.

In traditional advantageous areas, the electronic manufacturing and information industry, as the first pillar industry in Suzhou to exceed one trillion yuan, has gathered dozens of leading enterprises such as Yidelong Technology, Dongshan Precision, and Jingfang Semiconductor. The output value in 2024 reached 1.43 trillion yuan, an increase of 9.2% year-on-year.

Industry Insight System shows that Suzhou's electronic manufacturing service firmly ranks first in the country, with an industry score of 93.11 points.

There are also new energy vehicles, biomedicine, low-altitude economy, green energy industry, etc. Suzhou is ranked first in Jiangsu Province and the country's leading scores, with a score of more than 85 points. It is the most "blooming" city in Jiangsu Province.

Wuxi has always been deeply engaged in traditional industries such as equipment manufacturing, and more than ten industrial sub-nodes such as sludge treatment equipment, air coolers, and reaction vessels rank first in the country.

In the past two years, Wuxi has also made efforts in emerging industries, and the Internet of Things industry and integrated circuit industry have become "ups" and have built a complete industrial chain. In 2024, Wuxi's Internet of Things industry will exceed 400 billion yuan, and the integrated circuit industry will exceed 200 billion yuan. Both of them account for half of the province. In 2025, the total revenue scale of Wuxi's new generation of information technology industry represented by the Internet of Things, integrated circuits, and software services is expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan, becoming another trillion-level industrial cluster outside the equipment manufacturing industry.

Changzhou, which has 0 points after the first three rounds of competition and ranks at the bottom, is the leader in a series of emerging industries such as green energy, carbon materials, and new energy vehicles.

Taking the green energy industry as an example, it has become the strongest driving force for the rise of Changzhou's industry. It will achieve an output value of more than 720 billion yuan in 2024, promoting Changzhou to become the focus of domestic new energy giants.

CATL, Ideal Auto, BYD, and Xingxing Charging are all settled here, and local leading companies such as Honeycomb Energy, Trina Solar Energy, and Wanbang New Energy have also gone from here to the whole country and the world.

This weekend, Wuxi and Changzhou, which are at the end of the ranking, will face off. Whether Changzhou can get rid of the bottom seat, like its emerging industries, will make a comeback. The hustle and bustle of the stadium will eventually dissipate, and the winner and loss of the stadium will be frozen. What the "Soviet Super League" ignited is not only the passion on the court, but also the surging momentum for urban industries to move towards newness and upward development.

The true height of a city is not the temporary shining of the trophy, but the resilience of the industrial chain, the lush rainforest of the innovative ecosystem, and the continuous leap of the development level - this is the powerful engine that drives the city to the future.
