The founding concept of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is gradually becoming clear, and it is clearly defined as an "economic special zone". The government provided a loan of 30 million yuan specifically for the development of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone - a negligible amount compared to the future development of Pudong. This shows that the special zone was purely experimental at that time, and the central government did not have strategic expectations for it. Shenzhen has leaped from a county-level city to a prefecture level city. This time, the special economic zone's efforts are still much larger than Yuan Geng's Shekou. The total area of Shenzhen is 2020 square kilometers, with a total area of 327.5 square kilometers designated as an economic special zone. It is over 50 kilometers long from east to west and has an average width of over 6 kilometers from north to south. From a bird's-eye view of the special zone from the plane, it seems like a narrow strip of seaweed floating at the foot of the mountain or by the sea. Among them, 110 square kilometers can be planned and developed.

The larger the area, the bigger it is, but there is still only a loan of 30 million yuan - this amount of money is not enough to build the three connections and one leveling of 2 square kilometers. The only viable option for developers is to rent out the land and exchange the land for cash. This idea was considered "outrageous" in China at that time.
