Most moved to outskirts of Shenzhen municipality, just to be 1 cm outside of Shenzhen city jurisdiction.
Longhua, Baoan outskirst, Dongguan. Zhuhai in particular scored a lot of heavy hitters, to Shenzhen mayor's disdain. Zhuhai gave "refugees" a complete carte-blanche to setup any factories they wanted.
Very very few factories did use their relocation option to Shanwei. Those were real heavy industry companies in their majority, because for them facilities relocation cost was a genuine life and death matter.
Best to say that 2009-2012 events have led to growth being scattered, and great loss of "cluster effect."
While Longhua was a rural locality before these event, it did scored few companies who moved into already existing, vacant plan economy era factories and refurbished them. Our Wi-Fi OEM contractor rents one of such factories. Longhua's officials were, of course, very glad to see such developments. There are few residential high rises there now for people who moved to work in those factories from Shenzhen. It will certainly acquire title of a city before the end of a decade.
Dongguan was already the second biggest manufacturing hub in the province after Shenzhen, and will soon take the first place from it.
Zhuhai, I bet, will be becoming what mayor of Shenzhen city originally wanted, a high-tech, high-value service/product hub. The city was very receptive to genuine tech companies, and was very accommodating when it was coming to securing land for factories and campuses, as well as guarding newcomer companies from overzealous bureaucracy.
P.S. I think I need to clarify what to understand under factory. The digit of 15000 companies is given for all "manufacturing enterprises," which could be anything from a garage workshop, to a one man factory ran from a flat.
