The "Downward Movement" of Industry in Lishui Economy in 2009
On February 4, 2009, the Executive Meeting of the State Council reviewed and approved in principle the "Equipment Manufacturing Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Revitalization Plan"). Among the four requirements proposed in this "Revitalization Plan" to accelerate the revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry, the first point is to "improve the technical level of supporting products such as large castings and forgings, basic components, processing aids, and special raw materials".
In the development process of "Made in China", this is the first time that basic components have been placed in such an important position.
If we interpret this' first point ', it means that the country's development approach has shifted from' driving the development of components through the development of mechanical hosts' to 'jointly developing mechanical hosts and basic components'.
In 2009, the Lishui industry continued to rise and fall with the economic trend. Compared with the relatively developed industrial areas in the surrounding areas, the positioning of Lishui's industrial followers has not changed much, and this remains the same as before.
Unlike previous years of "following the development", in 2009, Lishui Enterprise began its independent "downward movement" and entered the field of basic components. By category, these fields include the new materials industry in Jinyun, the large-scale casting and forging processing industry in Qingtian and Yunhe, and the bearing industry in Liandu District.
The biggest significance of this "downward movement" for Lishui Industry is not only to provide some new growth points, but more importantly, after years of "major investment attraction", Lishui Industry has finally gathered into its own characteristic industry. The answer is the major question of where the new characteristic industries in Lishui come from in the industrialization process led by investment attraction.
Some people believe that this "downward movement" is highly likely to build a platform for Lishui Industry to transition from a "follower" to a "surpasser" because it seized the significant opportunity for the development of basic components in the first place.
This' downward movement 'is almost entirely driven by the primitive instincts of the enterprise. What is rare and valuable is that with multiple enterprises in multiple fields simultaneously, this "downward movement" has evolved into a collective behavior.
The main body engaged in this "downward movement" is Lishui enterprises, while most entrepreneurs are not from Lishui's hometown.
The momentum of Jinyun's new materials is strong
Before and after the sudden financial crisis in 2008, Jinyun's brand new industry - the new materials industry - began to seek strong growth and targeted the "Jinwuyong Supply Base", which is highly likely to become the "first pillar industry" of Jinyun, a major industrial county in Lishui.
Throughout 2009, this industry appeared to be "full of confidence".
Some companies are running low on production, but we had to run at full capacity every day last year. Many companies are reducing orders, but our orders have already been fully booked until the end of April. Many companies are laying off workers, but we still need to recruit more than 50 workers. Many companies' profit margins were declining in the first two months of 2009, but to be honest, we were on the rise. During the financial crisis, "sticking out" became the most basic guideline for many industrial enterprises, But in the midst of an economic downturn, Song Lixin, the chairman of Xinhai Thin Plate, is extremely ambitious - his company is running too smoothly.
According to statistics from relevant sources in Jinyun, the annual sales revenue of Xinhai Thin Plate in 2007 was nearly 240 million yuan. In 2008, this number bucked the trend and soared to over 620 million yuan, with a growth rate of over 160%. Even if we look at the entire Lishui, among all enterprises with a scale of over 100 million yuan, this growth rate is enough to make everyone can only compare to it.
But I only give the current Xinhai thin plate a score of 60, and I hope that through this year's adjustment, my company can reach the standard of 80 points. "At the beginning of 2009, Chairman Song Lixin gave himself a judgment and an indicator. By the end of the year, Xinhai Thin Plate had become a 1 billion yuan enterprise.
The booming Jinyun New Materials Enterprise is far from just Xinhai Thin Plate.
"In September 2008, Zhejiang Xinghui Precision Materials Co., Ltd., located in Jinyun Industrial Park, invested 80 million yuan in the first phase of the precision stainless steel belt production line and entered the final commissioning stage, with all indicators reaching the domestic advanced level." Lv Tangzhen, the deputy county head in charge of industry in Jinyun County, said, "At that time, the products were not yet available, which has attracted many customers to come to negotiate business and place orders in advance."
Why is this happening? Because we can make stainless steel as thin as paper. The fourteen roll reversible rolling mill installed by Xinghui Precision Materials Co., Ltd. has a high configuration and high-precision processing level, with a product width of 400-650mm and a finished product thickness range of 0.08-1.00mm. "said Chen Hui, the company's general manager.
When it comes to the Exquisite Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd. with an investment of 120 million yuan, Fan Haiyang, Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Jinyun Xinbi Industrial Park, is full of praise: "It will produce the widest superhard aluminum alloy plate in China, which is used for strategic oil storage tanks and some national defense industries. This product is definitely not worried about the market or orders
Against the backdrop of sufficient strength, for this industry, Lv Tangzhen commented, "Not only in 2009, but also in the coming years, the new materials industry will be one of the most important growth points of Jinyun's industrial economy. Moreover, in the future, many enterprises with a scale of 500 million yuan and over 1 billion yuan in Jinyun will be concentrated in this industry
On July 28, 2009, China Shengke High Strength Metal Materials Co., Ltd. signed a contract with Jinyun, with a total investment of 2.5 billion yuan. After completion, it can achieve an annual production of 500000 tons of heavy-duty high-strength alloy pipes, rods, and profiles. A month later, the high-tech material project with an annual production of 70000 tons of BOPP film officially settled in Jinyun County.
According to the development plan for industrial clusters in Jinyun County (2007-2011), the annual sales revenue of the new materials industry in Jinyun County will reach 5 billion yuan by 2011.
Interestingly, for this industry, Jinyun's positioning is as a "high-tech industry", while in the "Revitalization Plan", this industry actually belongs to the "special raw materials" of basic components. In the product sequence, "high" and "low" are interchanged in the most philosophical way.
Strong Start of Large Forged Castings
It is more than half an hour's drive from Qingtian County to Gexi Village in Chuanliao Town. Even if you come to Gexi, a small village in the mountains that was almost empty in the industrial field before, in order to find an absolute heavyweight enterprise, Yada Special Steel, which can achieve an annual output value of 2 billion yuan after all production, you still need to take a turn on National Highway 330, pass through a mountain head, and enter a foothills under the leadership of local people.
This is very similar to the position of large forged and cast parts in the Lishui industry: raised in the deep mountains and unknown. However, once the cocoon breaks out, it is enough to attract everyone's attention.
This is really a golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest! "The people of Gexi Village couldn't help but say that they were happy about Yada Special Steel. It is said that in order to promote the final settlement of Yada Special Steel, the village committee director of Gexi Village has made a total of 79 trips to relevant departments.
In April 2009, Chairman Lin Yonghua was leading a group of technical experts and construction workers to work hard in this 200 acre mountain area. Since its official construction in May 2008, the actual investment in this mountainous area has exceeded 100 million yuan.
Now we only hope for a good face from the heavens. As long as it doesn't rain and conditions permit, we really use all the time to start construction. Last night we worked until dawn. "Lin Yonghua lit a cigarette: We are certainly aware of the impact of the financial crisis on the steel industry, but Yada Special Steel is still looking forward to early production. Because our products have huge market space, and not to mention Lishui and Wenzhou, even Zhejiang and several neighboring provinces in Zhejiang, it is difficult to have similar products to compete for a while
Regarding this, Master Lin, the technical director hired by Lin Yonghua from Northeast China with a high salary, gave two explanations: firstly, Yada Special Steel specializes in the rolling and forging of alloy steel, which is completely different from the existing steel enterprises in Wenzhou and Qingtian; Secondly, the forging pressure of the first workshop of Yada Special Steel, which is about to be put into production, will reach 4500 tons. In the future, the pressure of the hydraulic press installed in the second workshop will reach 6000 tons. This production capacity is unique in the entire Zhejiang and Anhui, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, even in Northeast China.
For this reason, while working overnight, Yada Special Steel is also seeking another thing: to declare the name of the enterprise as "Zhejiang Yizhong". The underlying meaning of this name is very obvious, "What Yada Special Steel wants to do is become the first heavy-duty steel processing enterprise in Zhejiang.
In a word, many steel companies may be making a lot of money by entering and leaving, but in the future, we will be relying on technology and the added value of our products will be quite high, "said Lin Yonghua.
In the past year and with an investment of over 100 million yuan, two four story steel and cement workshops have been built underground on this 200 acre land. The unattractive 'below' is a huge output capacity. According to Lin Yonghua, after the first phase of production, the annual output value of Yada Special Steel is around 500 million yuan. In various reports submitted to Qingtian County, Yada Special Steel is expected to achieve an annual output value of 2 billion yuan after all are put into operation.
In January 2010, this enterprise will be officially put into operation. Among the scale goals of achieving 20 billion yuan in the Qingtian steel industry, Asia Pacific Special Steel is an important growth area, "said Sun Suihua, Director of the Qingtian Economic and Trade Bureau.
It is unknown that in the economic data statistics of Yunhe in the first half of 2008, the industrial output value of wooden toys was about 580 million yuan, while the industrial output value of rolling casting was very close to it, reaching over 540 million yuan. In terms of output value contribution, Yunhe Wooden Toys will also have a "unique" position and share it with others.
In this context, while vigorously creating a "fairy tale world", Yunhe also gradually proposed that "one leg cannot walk", and "new industries such as rolling casting have gradually developed, and the next step will be to increase investment attraction efforts.
In the 'fairy tale world', rolling casting grows silently in a wild grass like manner, which once again confirms the huge development opportunities for basic components.
The tenacious survival of Lishui bearings
There are approximately 300 bearing production enterprises and related companies of all sizes in Lishui.
In 2008, the estimated output value of the bearing industry in Lishui was between 600 to 700 million yuan. In the industrial field of Lishui, this is not a small number. Many people in Lishui are familiar with the annual output value of the bamboo and wood processing industry and the mechanical and electrical industry, which is only equivalent to or even below it. Under the severe situation in 2009, the output value of Lishui bearings remained stable within this range.
However, the bearing industry in Lishui does not have much popularity, let alone a good reputation. This is mainly because the Lishui bearing industry has not formed a leading enterprise, and the overall development order of the industry is not very good, "said the person in charge of a member unit of the Lishui Bearing Industry Association.
Even in 2009, basic components were placed in an unprecedented "important position", and with the "revered position" of "the most representative basic components", the Lishui bearing industry still failed to significantly improve its visibility and reputation - this industry cannot meet the key support industry goals of Lishui, nor can it attract attention from all sectors of society.
Of course, this does not affect the top of the 300 Lishui bearing enterprises to enjoy a sunny and nourishing day in 2009.
In May, our sales broke through seven digits. In the first half of the year, the sales of Ouyi bearings were able to catch up with the entire year of 2008, quadrupling before the financial crisis in 2007. Compared to 2008, doubling the sales of Ouyi bearings in 2009 is definitely not a problem. "Wang Huawen, the head of Ouyi bearings, was very confident in early 2009:" Of course, compared to 2008, net profit also needs to double
Since June 2009, Ouyi Bearing has received an average of over 100 customer inquiries and over 20 orders per day. Since 2009, the sales of Ouyi bearings have maintained a monthly growth of over 20%.
Moreover, the double-digit increase in sales was achieved on the basis of a stable profit margin. From Lishui to China, many bearing enterprises have started to fall into a vicious cycle of price wars due to a lack of orders. However, Ouyi Bearing is not. If reasonable profits are lost, even if orders are received, what benefits are there for the development of the enterprise? "Wang Huawen said.
At the end of 2009, foreign trade orders floated to this bearing enterprise. In the past two months, we have received an order worth 250000 US dollars for exporting to India, and now we have another large order worth over 2 million US dollars for exporting to the United States. Coupled with unfinished domestic orders, we already have orders worth over 6 million US dollars in our hands in 2010. "Wang Huawen said," There is definitely market space for bearing products now. In 2010, we will expand our new factory building
