Li Xinchuang: The new era of steel industry should focus on solving the problem of "good or bad"

The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party opened the curtain of reform and opening up. After 40 years of magnificent development, China's steel industry has effectively met the needs of national economic development. Not only are conventional products highly competitive, but also high-end steel products. With strong international competitiveness, the steel industry has become one of China's most internationally competitive industries, with a significant global influence, and the road to steel power shows an unprecedented bright future.

Five laws have made the development of steel 40 years

As far as the quality of development is concerned, the domestic steel market share has increased significantly. The quality of the products, the level of equipment, energy conservation and environmental protection, technological innovation, and enterprise management have made great progress. The efficiency of steel production has increased by 43 times, and the overall quality of the steel industry has increased significantly. The force is obviously enhanced. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the steel industry has continuously adapted to the new normal, implemented the supply-side structural reform policy, and made substantial progress in industrial adjustment and upgrading, contributing to the wisdom of China’s steel industry in over-resolving and realizing the development of poverty-stricken He has made outstanding contributions, demonstrated the responsibility of big countries and international leadership, and laid a solid foundation for the high-quality development of China's steel industry in the future.Looking back on the development process of China's steel industry reform and opening up for 40 years, there are several basic rules worthy of further consideration:The first is to strengthen innovation drive. Innovation is the first driving force for development, including concept innovation, technological innovation, and mechanism innovation. Such innovations as a number of key common technologies such as continuous casting, converter and hot rolling have greatly accelerated the modernization process of China's steel industry; the innovation of Shougang's contracting system and the experience of Handan Iron and Steel, and improved the quality and efficiency of the development of the steel industry in different periods. . Today, China's steel has been chased, followed by running into, running and even leading the stage. Innovation is the only way to have no choice.

The second is to deepen open cooperation. During the period of reform and opening up, the road to the development of China's steel industry is a road of continuous expansion and opening up. From the representative of reform and opening up - Baosteel, set up a model of modern iron and steel enterprises, to introduce, digest and re-innovate a batch of technologies, and the construction of a number of joint ventures, and then to the "Belt and Road" initiative, steel companies go out Carrying out international capacity cooperation, countless facts prove that only open cooperation can better develop, and there is no way out for the concept and behavior of reversing such as industrial protection and technical blockade.

The third is to adhere to the road of independence. The development of China's steel industry must be based on China's reality with confidence. We must not blindly copy foreign technology and foreign models. If we do not fully understand the Chinese market, environment, resources, energy and policy conditions, so-called advanced technology and experience will also be unacceptable. For example, the steel industry's promotion of supply-side structural reforms and vigorous efforts to increase production capacity is a successful new path that China has independently explored.

The fourth is to implement industrial policies. Industrial policy is between the macroeconomic and micro-enterprise levels. It is a medium-sized regulation and control method, and is very suitable for the large-scale and strong-oriented basic industries in the steel industry. Industrial policies have played a huge role in guiding and regulating the healthy development of the steel industry. Although there are also some unsatisfactory places, the practice has proved to be generally effective and can better compensate for the inefficiency caused by market failure and disorderly competition. As an important basic industry of the national economy, the future steel industry still needs to implement a national chess game policy guidance, and it cannot be left alone.

The fifth is to use only talents. People are the most active and most dynamic factors in productivity. Excellent products, excellent technology, and excellent enterprises are ultimately driven by excellent talents. The rapid improvement of China's steel industry competitiveness has benefited from reform and opening up. A large number of entrepreneurial leaders, technology leaders and technicians are trained in the process.

In the high-quality development stage, China's steel industry is facing a complex and ever-changing international and domestic situation.

From an international perspective, the world economy has undergone a tortuous recovery in deep adjustment, and the total global steel demand has entered a period of plateau, showing a stable and fluctuating development trend. The trade protectionism in the international steel market is spreading, the competition will be more intense, the international investment and trade rules system will be accelerated, and the opportunities and challenges of steel international capacity cooperation and international trade will coexist. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are in the ascendant. The industrial form, production management and development mode of the world's steel industry are undergoing unprecedented profound changes. The steel materials and other materials show a trend of mutual competition and synergy. The financial attributes of commodities such as iron ore and coking coal have increased, especially the rapid growth of scrap resources, and the complexity and uncertainty of the formation of resource prices have increased significantly. Relying on the strategy of re-industrialization, the steel powers strengthen the scientific and technological innovation and the strategic layout of the frontier areas, and seize the commanding heights in the middle and high-end steel market. Some emerging economies rely on the advantages of low-cost factors such as labor to form a diversion of the ordinary steel market, and the risks faced by China's steel industry. The challenge is increasing.

From the domestic perspective, China's economic growth has shifted from high-speed to medium-high speed. With the transformation of development mode, economic restructuring and growth momentum, China's unit GDP (gross domestic product) steel consumption intensity has dropped significantly, and total steel consumption has entered a peak arc. At the top stage, the overall trend tends to decline. However, China’s long-term economic fundamentals have not changed, and the upward trend of economic restructuring and optimization has not changed. China's steel industry has the world's largest and most active domestic demand market, the most complete and complete industrial system, the most abundant human resources, the latest and most advanced technology and equipment, the fastest and most timely service system, and will continue to maintain strong competitiveness for a long time. . In the process of achieving a balance between supply and demand balance from a low level of supply and demand to a high level, improving the quality of steel supply and improving the steel supply structure will be a new engine for the Chinese steel industry to move towards the middle and high end.

Standing on the historical node of the 40 years of reform and opening up, the overall judgment of the steel industry will show the characteristics of quality improvement, technology upgrading, green development, layout optimization, industry extension, process evolution, merger and reorganization. The path of high-quality development of the iron and steel industry is to further promote the “Nine-Chemical” synergy and reshape the industrial value chain: First, green, from the perspective of all-round, manufacturing process, product cycle, etc., strengthen green low-carbon development, establish Benefit, sustainable modern green factory, green industrial chain and product system; Second, orderly, with the core of enhancing competitiveness, promote the reorganization of iron and steel enterprises, and create a group of world-class steel enterprise groups with international competitiveness; Quality, comprehensively improve product quality and service quality, build a brand system that integrates quality, service, innovation and culture; Fourth, standardization, synergy from four levels: national, industry, local, and group, leading enterprises to adapt The enterprise standard system required for market competition and technological progress; the fifth is to differentiate, strengthen the research on market demand and competitors, identify the enterprise positioning, clarify the development strategy and implementation path, and at the same time do product differentiation and product line differentiation; Sixth, serviceization, steel companies should be transformed from pure manufacturing value-added to manufacturing and service synergy, and then push The transformation of the business model; the seventh is intelligent, promoting the integrated integration of industrial Internet, cloud computing, big data in the R & D and design, manufacturing, management, sales and service of steel enterprises and the entire industry chain; Strengthen steel and diversified strategic synergy, business synergy, channel synergy and management synergy to form a diversified management system along the vertical extension, horizontal coupling or territorial integration of the steel industry chain; nine is internationalization, integrated utilization of global resources and network systems, All-round cooperation in production capacity, engineering, upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, research and development, and trade.

Looking back on the past, 40 years of hard work, we have won and firmly consolidate the status of the world's first steel power with global competitiveness; looking forward to the future, the flood of reform and opening up will continue, the Chinese steel industry will not forget the initial heart, the future, Create a new era of steel power with high quality development!
