Rebirth of the Official Business Route

Under the cold winter night, Jinshan Lake exudes a cold glow. I got out of the car and stood on the asphalted lake bank. I could hear the sound of the surging lake hitting the bank, and it seemed that I could even hear the summer collapse of 1998. When the embankment was flooded, the flood rang loudly.

Both Zhang Ke and Zhao Youlun were the witnesses of Jinshan Lake's **** breach in 1998, and the thrilling experience at that time might not be obliterated in this life. Ordinary people are always forgetful. The monument is erected on the back of the embankment of the breaching dike. It has also been called the flood fighting square by the citizens. Under the night, the lights are shining. Some young men and women nearby come to the square to talk about love, and they don’t feel the sky. Ice in the cold. w Novel chapter updated fastest

The west bank of Yinma River is the Jinshan factory of Xinguang Paper. After the acquisition of Chenxi Paper, the second phase of expansion was carried out. A long stretch of factory area along the west bank of Yinma River, with street lights slightly protruding from the factory area. Reflected on the river water, like a long chain of bright pearls, making this section of the night scene along the river very charming.

Looking at the street lamp on the opposite bank of Yinma River, Xu Xueping smiled and said, “It’s clear at a glance whether the paper mill will discharge sewage secretly at night.”

Liang Wei smiled. Only Xu Xueping could freely tell Zhang Ke these words. He should always pay attention to what he said with Zhao Youlun. Think about the incidents caused by Kumho’s initial acquisition of Chenxi Paper. People sighed. In the past year or so, the merger and acquisition of state-owned assets by private and private enterprises has become a common reality that everyone can accept. In 1997 and 1998, it seemed to be a big taboo. w "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest

After Chenxi Paper's merger and acquisition, the provinces and cities cruelly shut down the small paper mills along the river, almost completely solving the pollution problem of the Yinma River. The main problem now is to prevent new pollution from later industrial projects.

Zhang Ke looked at the shining water of the Drinking Horse River under the light of the road in the distance, and said lightly: "It is not a long-term solution to rely on the self-consciousness of the enterprise. Excluding the additional cost of using imported wood pulp to make paper, the paper mill here Sewage treatment costs account for about 3% of total sales, and pulping projects will be added in the future. The pulping process must also meet the standards of cleaner production. If evenly distributed, sewage treatment costs will account for 8-10% of total sales. No Constrained by the legal system, this market will always be a market where bad money drives out good money. Of course, we still have great advantages now, and economies of scale are nothing more than..."

Zhao Youlun smiled and said: "I am still asked to work in the paper mill. It seems that the scale efficiency of the paper mill is quite considerable... I sometimes wonder that Shin Kong Paper has not been able to monopolize the paper market. Does the scale benefit formed by capital operation really have such a magical power?"

"Speaking of employee salaries? Labor costs and enterprise competitiveness are a very core issue." Zhang Ke also smiled and said, "The labor costs of European and American companies account for about 30-50% of the total cost, although labor costs On the high side, it has absolute advantages in technology and capital, and its competitiveness is still strong. In China, cheap labor is used as a magic weapon for companies to win the market for too many people. The average labor cost of domestic companies only accounts for 6-10%. In the market, it does show certain advantages in competitiveness. Kumho is a pure Chinese company. What Kumho wants to do has actually puzzled us for a long time. It used to be intuitive, with more profits, and more employee benefits. Fortunately, Kumho’s profits have not been bad over the years, and employee salaries and benefits are still sloppy. In the past two years, I have asked the Kumho Economic Research Center to conduct in-depth inspections of the member companies under Kumho’s The conclusion is that the member companies of Kumho have increased the proportion of labor cost expenditure to 12-18%. In terms of attracting and stimulating the enthusiasm of employees, strict management can make up for the loss caused by labor cost expenditure, and actually increase the member companies’ Competitiveness-this is in line with our actual experience. If there is no conscience, the higher the salary level, the higher the employee's tolerance, and the higher the benefits that can be created for the company."

"Oh," Liang Wei asked in surprise, "Kumho Economic Research Center does research in this area?"

"In the past, the company was small, so it was enough to decide what to do with everyone together and pat the head; now it is no longer possible. I feel that any small decision will affect the whole body, probably because the courage has become smaller, and the experts and professors are pulled out and put on the front. . Even if there is any decision-making mistake, there can be a rhetoric..." Zhang Ke said with a smile.

"Oh!" Liang Wei sighed lightly.

Xu Xueping complained next to him: "Researchers at the Kumho Economic Research Center are also expert professors. The province plans to introduce a minimum wage standard, and a group of experts and professors jumped out and said: The minimum wage standard is too high, which will affect the competitiveness of enterprises in our province. Also. It will affect the work of attracting investment. These experts and professors have demonstrated that the minimum wage standard is set at about 300 yuan so that it will not affect the local economic development... The few of us can be said to be ignorant of human fireworks. I think these experts and professors They don’t know the smell of fireworks in the world, but how can they explain that they believe that a dual-employee family can barely live in the city with a monthly income of 600 yuan? You can lend us your research report."

"Uncle Xu and Governor Liang want to see. Of course I don't cherish myself, but it's better to circulate it privately. This report is too offensive if it is made public; in addition, after all, the research is still a special individual, which is not representative." Zhang Begging for mercy, the province is also clear in some cases. If the minimum wage cannot be set to provide urban workers with the most basic living security, what is the point of setting it? In order to solve the domestic practical problems, the governor of the country will not be able to cover the sky with one hand, and the problem can only be solved in a gradual and orderly manner.

Xu Xueping smiled when Zhang Ke was slick. It’s just that some problems were in his heart, which made him feel heavy. He pointed to the direction farther from the west bank of the Yinma River, where the street lights were still bright, and said: "A model community has been built there, and I have been there several times, but I was very ashamed and apprehensive. I was afraid that some people would grab and ask me when they can live like that..."

Zhang Ke touched his nose without speaking.

Liang Wei smiled. He is the initiator of Chenxi Paper's merger and acquisition, and he has the best knowledge of the situation before and after Chenxi Paper's merger.

The large shanty town west of Chenxi Paper was almost completely destroyed by the flood in the summer of 1998. Kumho donated funds for reconstruction and rebuilt it to a very high standard. The residential area of ​​the paper mill’s staff was rebuilt to the same high standard. In more than a year, a large modern residential community was formed on the east side of the paper mill.

Local governments are also unavoidable. People from the central government inspected the post-disaster treatment situation in Jiangnan Province, which naturally became a model community, regaining a lot of political points in the province. The actual post-disaster relief situation is much more severe. Many farmers whose houses have been destroyed by floods can only receive a few hundred yuan in subsidies and a few bags of cement afterwards.

The reconstruction of the residential area for employees is still the reconstruction of the shanty town, and the biggest beneficiaries are the employees of the paper mill. In addition, after Chenxi Paper's merger and acquisition, employees' salaries and benefits have been greatly improved, which is much higher than the average level in Jinshan City, so that a job in the paper mill even reaches the level of entrusting Zhao Youlun.

Liang Wei knew what Xu Xueping was afraid of. Even though he has nearly ten years of political career, he is not sure that before he retires, the average living standard of Jiangnan Province can be raised to a level comparable to that of ordinary employees in the paper mill. Xu Xueping is very clear that he will definitely retire before 2003. In the second line, three years ago, it was already a very difficult task for the province to basically eliminate the poverty population.

There is a long way to go. Speaking of the competitiveness of enterprises, Liang Weifa, as the governor in charge of the economy, also has in-depth research and his own experience.

After the acquisition of Chenxi Paper, all raw materials imported from abroad are high-priced and high-quality wood pulp; environmental protection investment has also ensured that no drop of sewage is discharged into the Yinma River. In the words of Zhang Ke, this part of the investment should account for 3% of the total sales. This data is more in line with the judgment of the Provincial Economic Research Institute; the level of employee salaries and benefits has increased significantly, compared with the level before the merger, which is nearly improved. three times.

Adding all these circumstances together, the increase in operating costs of paper mills seems to be unimaginable for similar domestic paper industries. However, after the merger, the actual profitability of paper mills has not weakened at all, and local taxation has also increased by a higher degree compared with previous years. After the acquisition of Chenxi Paper Mill, Shin Kong Paper has annual sales of 7 billion yuan, and it has also successfully ranked among the top three companies in the domestic paper industry, and its actual competitiveness is far beyond the domestic average.

After Shin Kong Paper reaches the current level, in addition to competing with other top domestic paper industry groups, it will face the threat of competition from overseas paper giants. China and the United States have reached a bilateral agreement, which is a key step for joining the WTO. The market will also be greatly opened up to overseas paper giants.

The next step in the competition in the paper industry is probably reflected in the scale of forestry-paper integration, right?

The central government will not allow the entry of overseas paper giants to put additional pressure on the domestic environment and forestry resources. If overseas paper giants want to enter the Chinese market on a large scale, they must take the path of forestry-paper integration.

To alleviate the environmental pressure, but also in order to be able to produce medium and high-end paper products, it is necessary to use wood pulp as the raw material for papermaking; to avoid additional pressure on forestry resources that have already reached the dangerous red line, either a large amount of wood pulp is imported from overseas or large Large-scale planting of abundant forests and construction of forest source bases.

Large-scale imports of wood pulp have to endure the torment of high costs. In addition, other countries will gradually pay attention to the protection of forestry resources, which will further increase the cost of imported wood pulp. Finally, building their own forest source base is the real way out.

Liang Wei thought this in his heart, and turned slightly to the southwest. Although his vision was not too far in the night, he knew that the southwest hilly land of Jinshan contained a large area of ​​green forest belonging to Xinguang Forestry. Xinguang Forestry entered Jiangnan Province on a large scale a little later, but the growth cycle of nearly 3 million acres of forest land in Donghai Province has entered the third and fourth years.

Liang Wei knows that international paper giants such as Mitsui's Oji Paper and Indonesia's Sandpaper have clear intentions to invest in China. In the face of these paper giants who are eye-catching, Shin Kong Paper has in addition to its forestry and paper integration. In addition to at least three to four years of time advantage, at least in the East China Sea and Jiangnan provinces, Shin Kong Paper does not have to worry about the entry of other competitors. Large areas of forest resources are monopolized by Shin Kong Forestry, an affiliate of Shin Kong Paper. The remaining space is not enough to fill the belly of overseas paper giants.

In addition to continuing to improve forestry in the East China Sea and Jiangnan provinces, Xinguang Forestry has also begun to expand to the provinces and cities of East Zhejiang, Henan, and Hainan. Although the domestic forest tenure relationship is complicated and it will take a long time to straighten out thoroughly. Without strong political support, large-scale forestation operations in other provinces and cities cannot be carried out, but Shin Kong Forestry is at least better than those overseas papers that have not yet taken action. The industry giants have to take a few steps ahead.

In 1996, Kumho invested desperately in the large-scale planting of forests in the East China Sea. At that time, it was extremely puzzling. It was only then that Kumho’s foresight was reflected. In particular, the international wood pulp prices continued to rise. The strategy couldn't be more correct. As long as a large-scale pulp mill is selected to build a large-scale pulping plant, Kumho can quickly complete the complete industrial layout of forestry and paper integration, thereby overtaking other domestic paper industry peers in one fell swoop. Even in the face of competition from overseas paper giants, there is still plenty of room for maneuver. It can even be said that it has a competitive advantage in the face of overseas paper giants.

Although Kumho drew a pulp project pie in 1996, it has not been seen so far, but with the gradual liberalization of foreign investment in the paper market, the growth of Shin Kong Paper, and Shin Kong Forestry, all these years have been spared no effort. Forest planting, especially in recent years, domestic wood pulp imports have increased by 20% and 30% annually, and the price of imported wood pulp has soared. Everyone knows that even if Kumho has a large number of shares in the pulp mill of Malaysia Yunyuan Group In the end, the domestic pulping project will be launched, and the investment in the pulping project may be far greater than originally estimated.

In theory, tons of pulp and tons of paper. Shin Kong Paper's production capacity at this time exceeded 1.2 million tons, and the calculated production capacity reached 3 million tons within three years. If the wood pulp raw materials are fully self-sufficient by then, it means that the future pulping project will also reach a scale of 3 million tons, which is less than 20 billion yuan or 2.5 billion US dollars of investment.

Two years ago, Kumho said that it would be a 20-billion-level project, and everyone would chuckle their mouths and dismiss it; but today, no one dares to say that Kumho won’t be quiet and would really spend 20 billion. Come on the pulping project.

When the pulping project is completed, Shin Kong Paper will gain a greater competitive advantage, right?

Liang Wei sometimes wondered, why can't domestic enterprises learn from Kumho and think twice beforehand? Cheap labor is indeed an advantage, but there should always be a sense of shame when talking about this. People work hard to create performance for the company. At the end, even eating a meal becomes a problem. Thinking of the experts and professors who suggested that the minimum wage should be set at 300 yuan, Liang Wei sighed in his heart. After all, they hope that ordinary employees will work hard forever. To make selfless dedication for the company to be competitive.

Speaking of it, there is still no economic confidence. There are some things that the governor said, and the secretary of the provincial party committee said no. The standard of living security for laid-off workers cannot be raised, and the minimum wage is not as high as artificially set. Economic development is the fundamental solution to the problem. road. Speak and read, all in

The factory area on the west bank of Yinma River is stretched and brightly lit. The production line, as an industrialized monster, will not stop at night to rest; besides street lights and landscape lights, there are few industrial buildings on the east bank.

The impact of the collapse of the Jinshan Lake's **** is too bad, and the investment promotion work in the Jinshan area can be described as almost devastating. For Jinshan, such a large and appealing project as the fab is extremely important.

Think about the new pavilion. After the port construction project was launched, large-scale investments continued one after another. The price of industrial land rose from gratis in 1997 to 120,000 per mu in 1999. In order to enable the orderly development of Dongshan Lingang Industrial Zone, it is effective. Utilizing industrial land resources, the province has taken over the approval authority for projects of more than 100 acres in the Lingang Industrial Zone. The economic rise of Xinting is just around the corner. When can Jinshan, the political, cultural, and economic center of Jiangnan Province, be able to revive the economy? This problem has always been weighed heavily on the hearts of people in the provinces and cities.

After listening to Zhang Ke at Xu Xueping’s house~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Liang Wei couldn’t hold back. He and Zhao Youlun instigated the cold night to rush to the lake embankment for a field talk. Xu Xueping was also very interested, it seems There is a large modern factory standing in front of you.

If you let Liang Wei and their temperament remain, you can't wait to hold a press conference tonight and break ground tomorrow.

"The management of Microchip Microchip has been very hard during this period. Even if they are very hard, I will urge them to fix the problem of Jinshan as soon as possible," Zhang Ke said: "The agreement with Singapore is finalized. The framework of the fab has also been finalized. Even if the finalization of the project of the fab will be slower, the initial investment of Kewang Hi-Tech and Xinyuan is mainly the construction of standard factory buildings, and it will enter soon. If the provinces and cities still feel that the degree is not fast enough, I think In Jinshan City, you can organize the construction of standard electronic workshops first, and either sell them or lease them to electronic companies after they are built..." The fabs are built with high-standard dust-free workshops, not to mention the huge investment, and the technical requirements are extremely high. There is no way to do it in Jinshan City, but the product assembly or ordinary electronic component production workshops are all standard large houses, so that Shan City can first invest in large-scale construction, and the scale of investment is not large. The key is to greatly shorten the investor's factory construction time, if there is a ready-made factory building that can be used. Assembling factories such as Xinyuan and Kewang Hi-Tech can recruit large-scale employees for training while introducing production lines; as long as the factory construction meets the standards and the fees are reasonable, investors will find it much more convenient and more inclined to invest in Jinshan.
