I want to talk about why Caofeidian has developed for ten years.

Tangshan, which is about to usher in Shougang, is really a treasure house for developing the steel industry;

Jidong iron mine, one of the three major iron ore producing areas in China, has a reserve of 4 billion; Adjacent to Kailuan coal mine, the annual output is 1 10,000, mainly coking coal; There are also four main railway lines, such as Beijing-Shenyang and Daqin, which cross the east and west. Caofeidian Island, 80 kilometers to the south, is a rare natural deep-water port in the north. Compared with Zhanjiang, Fangchenggang, Ningde, which strive for ten million steel bases, all the conditions are worse.

Director Hu Shining of Tangshan Industrial Bureau said: "Draw a circle with Tangshan center as the center and 80 Li as the radius. Iron ore, coal and various auxiliary materials needed by the metallurgical industry are all in this circle. "

However, good natural conditions can not alleviate Shougang's troubles, because someone arrived first.

The profit of steel ignited the investment desire of various capitals. Hundreds of large and small steel mills are producing day and night, creating Tangshan's iron and steel output accounting for half of Hebei Province and more than one tenth of the whole country. At the same time, it has also attracted strong dissatisfaction from the state and the State Environmental Protection Administration on blind development and ecological destruction.

Therefore, the first practical problem faced by Shougang is: whether to move here before considering the merger and integration of Hebei iron and steel enterprises, or to negotiate the merger plan before moving?

Tao Dong, director of the Iron and Steel Research Institute, has always preferred the latter, because "there is no repeated cost".

However, the present situation seems to be leaning towards the former. Because it is difficult to balance various interests, the overall merger of Shougang and Tangshan Iron and Steel Company is becoming more and more distant.

Although it holds 49% shares in Caofeidian Project and has established a joint team with Shougang, it is only one of the three cards of Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and the last one. According to insiders of Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is currently implementing the strategy of "three pillars". The first pole is the transformation of the old factory area, forming a scale of ten thousand people; The second pole is to cooperate with private foreign capital and change competition into cooperation; The roof of the world is a joint venture project between Caofeidian and Shougang.

It is reported that in the second pole of the three poles, Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is ready to cooperate with private enterprises in Qian 'an to build a 10,000-ton steelmaking project in the local area. If Shougang Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. used to stay out of it, then the relocation of the factory will undoubtedly constitute a battle of "the enemy will block it, and the water will cover it."

Qian 'an, with 2.8 billion iron ore reserves, has always been regarded as the sphere of influence of Shougang. Although it is located in Hebei and belongs to Tangshan, Shougang established a mining industry here as early as 2000, and a steelmaking plant with a capacity of 10,000 yuan has been put into production. In addition, Shougang is under construction, achieving a production capacity of at least 10,000 yuan in Qian' an.

Shougang is the leader of Qian 'an iron and steel industry, and building a factory in Qian 'an is the first sound of Shougang's production capacity moving out. It is really puzzling that Tangshan suddenly played such a card at the moment when whether the merger is still inconclusive.

At the same time, after years of brewing, in May this year, Hebei Province finally made up its mind to form six major steel mills in the province into two major groups: North and South. The leader of the north is Tang Gang, and Tang Gang sent two vice presidents to serve as the chairman of Xuangang and Cheng Gang.

An insider pointed out that Hebei Province is serious this time, because after the merger, the provincial fiscal revenue will suddenly decrease for a period of time.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of tax sharing.

"The problem of Shougang's relocation is, in the final analysis, the problem of tax sharing with Hebei." A senior official of China Iron and Steel Industry Association told the reporter.

Now, this most sensitive problem has not been finally solved. The reporter heard several versions from different channels, and some said that according to the investment ratio, the tax generated by Shougang's investment was paid, and the industrial output value was also included; Others say that the value-added tax belongs to Hebei, and the income tax (about 10% of the total tax) belongs to Hebei.

Director Hu Shining said that the tax distribution plan has not yet been decided, because the state has only approved the relocation project, and the tax problem will be solved after approving the steel mill project of 10,000 yuan. "Now we are talking with Hebei. Hebei province has two negotiation principles. One is to be reasonable and legal, including tax laws; Second, we must be mutually beneficial and will not suffer losses, but we must also take care of Hebei. "

Get part of the tax, mainly used to pay for the placement of surplus workers, to make up for the industrial vacuum in Shijingshan.

Niu Fengrui believes that although the relocation of Shougang directly led to the reduction of local fiscal revenue, a large area of land in Shijingshan, where Shougang is located, has been replaced, and the potential value of these land may even be greater than the actual reduced fiscal revenue. So the advantages of Shougang's relocation outweigh the disadvantages for me.

Shijingshan district, which suffered the most, did not feel nervous either. According to a section chief of Shijingshan, although Shougang's tax revenue accounts for more than 50% of Shijingshan's local tax revenue, after Shougang's relocation, it will subsidize Shijingshan, and its fiscal revenue will increase instead of decrease. After Shougang moves out, Shijingshan will become a leisure and entertainment area and a digital entertainment port in the capital.

For Hebei Province, although some tax revenue has been lost, the development opportunities gained far outweigh the losses. The arrival of Shougang means the rise of a steel city and a petrochemical city out of thin air, which not only directly promotes the economic development of Hebei, but also establishes Hebei's pivotal position in the Bohai Economic Circle. Advance can radiate North China, even the Three Norths, and retreat can also develop Tangshan into the economic center of Hebei.

For Shougang, no matter where the tax is paid, the Caofeidian project is a complete turnaround.

A senior official of Shougang Technology Research Institute said: "Since 1996 and 1997, Shougang has always wanted to develop, but it has been restricted. Any enterprise that does not develop is just like death. Ten years without new projects, Shougang died. If Caofeidian also has such an opportunity, Shougang will not only survive, but also develop better! "

According to him, Caofeidian Steel Plant will become the first truly coastal steel plant in China and a truly world-class steel enterprise facing 2 1 century.

The popular Caofeidian

In the first half of this year, Zhang Danping, the 24-year-old head of the news section of Tanghai County Committee, suddenly found many Mercedes-Benz and BMW cars popping up in the street, so he rode his bike all over the hotels in the county and found that every one was full. They all came to Caofeidian to talk about the project. Finally, he got an accurate figure in the county public security bureau. 1999 There were only 9 hotels in the county, but now it has grown to 59, and more than a dozen are ready to open.

He was so excited about this that he wrote a report on "Caofeidian project drives Tanghai to be unprecedentedly hot".

Last August, when reporters came to Caofeidian and Tang Haixian, it could only be described as mysterious, but less than a year later, it has been turned upside down. Caofeidian, an island with only one beacon light, has become a construction site full of banners. A 40-kilometer-long expressway has been miraculously built on the rough Bohai Sea, and the reclamation project of square kilometers is equivalent to rebuilding half of Singapore.

As a pillar industry of the national economy, it is hard to imagine that the commissioning of a steel project will stimulate the local economy. According to the current plan, Shougang Caofeidian Steel Plant will bring 654.38+10,000 jobs in the near future,/kloc-0.90 million jobs in the long term and 50,000-60,000 dependents.

According to Director Hu Shining's calculation, the output value of 10,000 high-quality plates in Shougang in 2000 was at least 1 billion yuan, and the industrial GDP 1 billion yuan was more than one yuan, which was equivalent to14 of Tangshan's total industrial GDP in 2000, not including the promotion of other industries.

Shougang's project is not the largest in Caofeidian's four major plans of big steel, big petrochemical, big electric power and big port (see table 1). Hu Shining said: "In the future, petrochemical projects may surpass steel and extend downstream, and more than 30 kinds of products can be produced, which will not be finished in ten or twenty years. In addition, Jidong Oilfield is here, and its output has exceeded 10,000. There are also oil fields with considerable reserves in Caofeidian waters, with an estimated annual output of 10,000. At present, PetroChina and Sinopec are striving to invest in petrochemical projects here. "

As the largest project in the 11th Five-Year Plan, Caofeidian Project is becoming a huge magnet, and related industries in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will be gradually attracted here.

A small step in the relocation of Shougang is becoming a big step in the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

An incomprehensible expansion strategy

Workers who work shifts and rest are fishing by the pool, but 32-year-old Xiao Li is hiding alone in the Woods, with his back against a big tree and a blank face. He said, "If I can renew my contract, where will I follow?"

Xiao Li is now an installer in the first building installation of Shougang. Father/KLOC-0 came from Haicheng, Liaoning Province in 1958 to support Shougang's Great Leap Forward and came to Beijing in 2008. His wife has no job, and she takes care of a child over one year old in her hometown, relying on his salary of more than one yuan per month. Now the contract is signed once a year, and I feel very insecure.

"Normal conditions should continue," Xiao Li guessed with a straight face. "In fact, we don't know anything but moving, and we don't want to think about it. It's no use thinking about it. My father left his family and sucked dust here all his life. I put the best time here myself and won't suddenly lose everything. "

At present, the total number of employees in Shougang Group is about 12 to 15, of which nearly 10 is in the region, and the front-line workers in Caofeidian New Steel Plant only need10,000 at most, which does not include thousands of people in Tangshan Iron and Steel Company. Even according to the planning of Caofeidian Port Area, Shougang will come to 60,000 people. Roughly speaking, Shougang Group still has 60,000 to 80,000 people to be resettled.

For Shougang, this is the biggest test.

Although Zhu Jimin, chairman of Shougang, has clearly announced the placement direction of employees, a person from Shougang Trade Union told reporters: "This is only a general principle, and there are no specific measures yet."

It is not just Xiao Li who is confused, but Shougang's expansion strategy is becoming more and more incomprehensible. Focus on Hebei or the whole country?

On June 5438+065438+ 10 last year, Shougang suddenly signed a framework agreement with Yujin Group, a private steel enterprise in Quwo, Shanxi Province, and obtained its controlling stake. At the end of April this year, Shougang obtained the status of the largest shareholder of Guizhou Shuigang Group from Guizhou Province for free.

Shanxi has been short of water, so it is impossible to develop the steel industry on a large scale. On the other hand, the water port is located on the southwest border. At present, its output is only 10 thousand yuan, so it is difficult to expand its scale and exert its fists and feet.

In the local investigation in Quwo, the reporter found that this project has been in trouble. The chairman of Yujin Group was investigated for a month on suspicion of falsely issuing invoices. Now he has just returned to work in the group, and Shougang has become indecisive.

In Liupanshui, Guizhou, the reporter found that Zhu Jimin, chairman of Shougang, was a household name in the local area. It turns out that Zhu Jimin once served as the chairman of Shuigang Group, and turned losses into profits in one fell swoop during his term of office. It is said that Zhu Jimin lost his car and rode his bike to and from work every day, which was hard for several years. Under the background of the loss of the national steel industry, Shuigang stood out and gained the appreciation of the top management. At that time, there was a saying in the steel industry that "learn from Hangang and learn from Shuigang".

Tao Dong, director of the Iron and Steel Research Institute, believes that Shougang really wants to play a national card. Shougang should have merged with Tangshan Iron and Steel Company, but it failed and went to Shuigang. Shuigang also has advantages. There are not many iron and steel enterprises in southwest China, and the competitiveness of their products is weak. In addition, in the future, the Guangxi department is WISCO's world, and Guangdong-Yunnan Shougang can't get in, so it can only enter steel.

In addition to the main steel industry, Shougang has a great tendency to develop automobile industry. In the Hong Kong Industrial Park in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, garbo group, the head of Shougang's Hong Kong company, plans to invest 930 million pounds with Jiang Lu Group to establish a joint venture to produce heavy trucks.

According to Tan Qinghong, Minister of Jiang Lu Group, it was originally said that it was completed on June 65438+1 October1,and Shougang has not come yet. This has been bothering him.
