Chapter 1098

Jinshan Lake exudes a cold and clear glow in the cold winter and December night. When I get off the car and stand on the asphalt embankment, I can hear the sound of surging lake water lapping against the embankment. It seems that I can vaguely hear the roar of the flood when the embankment broke in the summer of 1998.

Zhang Ke and Zhao Youlun were both witnesses of the breakup of Jinshan Lake in 1998. They were thrilling at that time. I'm afraid they won't die in this life. Ordinary people are always forgetful. The monument is erected on the back of the broken embankment. It has also been used by citizens to call it the flood fighting square. At night, the lights are bright. Some young men and women nearby go to the square to talk about love and don't feel cold.

The West Bank of Yinma River is the Jinshan factory of Xinguang paper. After the acquisition of Chenxi paper, phase II project expansion was carried out. The long area along the West Bank of Yinma River is the factory area. The street lights slightly stretched out from the plant reflect on the river, like a string of bright pearl long chains, making the night scenery along the river very charming.

Looking at the street lamp on the other side of Yinma River, Xu Xueping smiled and said, "it's clear at a glance whether the paper factory will secretly discharge sewage at night."

Liang Wei smiled. Only Xu Xueping could freely tell Zhang Ke these words. He always had to pay attention to some discretion when talking to Zhao Youlun. It was really sad to think about the things caused by Jinhu's initial acquisition of Chenxi paper. In the past year or so, the merger and acquisition of state-owned assets by private and private enterprises has become a generally accepted reality. In 1997 and 1998, it seems that they have committed a great taboo.

After the merger and acquisition of Chenxi paper, the provinces and cities have ruthlessly closed down the small paper mills along the river, which has almost completely solved the pollution problem of Yinma River. At present, the main problem is to prevent the new pollution of later industrial projects.

Zhang Ke looked at the Yinma River shining under the distant road lights and said faintly: "Depending on the consciousness of the enterprise, we can't make a long-term plan. Excluding the additional cost of using imported wood pulp to make paper, the sewage treatment cost of the paper factory accounts for about 3% of the total sales. In the future, the pulping project should be launched, and the pulping link should also meet the standard of cleaner production. If it is shared equally, the sewage treatment cost will account for 8-10% of the total sales. Without the constraints of the legal system, this market will always be It's a market where bad money drives out good money. Of course, we still have great advantages, and the economies of scale are not just talking about... "

Zhao Youlun said with a smile: "there are still people who asked me to come here to work in the paper factory. It seems that the scale efficiency of the paper factory is still considerable... I sometimes wonder that Xinguang paper has not been able to monopolize the paper market. Is the scale efficiency formed by the operation of large capital really so magical?"

"When it comes to employee salary, labor cost expenditure and enterprise competitiveness are very core issues," Zhang Ke also smiled and said, "The labor cost expenditure of European and American enterprises accounts for about 30-50% of the total cost expenditure. Although the labor cost is high, they have absolute advantages in technology and capital, and their competitiveness is still strong; in China, too many people use cheap labor as a magic weapon for enterprises to win the market, and the average labor cost expenditure of domestic enterprises accounts for only 6-10%, which does show some advantages in the market Competitiveness. Jinhu is a pure Chinese enterprise. In fact, we have been puzzled about what Jinhu should do for a long time. In the past, it was very intuitive. If it made more profits, it would pay more employee benefits. Fortunately, Jinhu's profits have not been bad over the years, and its employee salaries and benefits are careless. I have asked Jinhu Economic Research Center to focus on the member enterprises of Jinhu in the past two years Through in-depth investigation, the conclusion is that the member enterprises of Jinhu have increased the proportion of labor cost expenditure to 12-18%. In terms of attracting talents and stimulating employees' enthusiasm, strict management can make up for the losses caused by labor cost expenditure, and actually improve the competitiveness of member enterprises in the industry - this is consistent with our practical experience. There is no conscience If so, the higher the salary level, the higher the affordability of employees and the higher the benefits that can be created for the enterprise. "

"Oh," Liang Weifa asked in surprise, "has Jinhu Economic Research Center done this research?"

"In the past, when the enterprise was small, it was OK for everyone to get together and clap their heads; now it's not OK. I feel that any small decision will affect the whole body. Maybe it's because of the timidity. I pulled out the experts and professors in front. Even if there are any decision mistakes, I can have a speech..." Zhang Ke said with a smile.

"Alas!" Liang Weifa sighed softly.

Xu Xueping complained and said: "The researchers of Jinhu Economic Research Center are also experts and professors. The province plans to introduce a minimum wage standard. A group of experts and professors also jumped out and said: if the minimum wage standard is too high, it will affect the competitiveness of enterprises in our province and the work of attracting investment. The results of these experts and professors' argument are that the minimum wage standard is set at about 300 yuan, so it will not affect the local economic development... We are here Several people can be said to be ignorant of the smell of human fireworks. I think these experts and professors don't know the smell of human fireworks, but how can they explain that they believe that double working families can barely live in the city with a monthly income of 600 yuan? You can borrow your research report and show it to us. "

"If Uncle Xu and governor Liang want to see it, of course I won't take it personally, but it's better to circulate it in private. If this report is made public, it's too offensive; in addition, after all, it's still a special individual, which is not representative." Zhang Ke begged for mercy and said that in some cases, the province is also clear. What is the significance of formulating the minimum wage standard if it can not provide urban workers with the most basic living security? To solve the domestic practical problems, the provincial Party Secretary and the governor together can not cover up the sky, and the problem can only be solved step by step.

Zhang Ke played a trick and Xu Xueping laughed it off, but some problems weighed on his heart and made him feel heavy. He pointed to the farther direction on the West Bank of 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 am very ashamed and frightened. I'm afraid that people will catch me and ask me when they can live such a life..."

Zhang Ke touched his nose and didn't speak.

Liang Wei smiled. He was the initiator of the M & A case of Chenxi paper and knew the situation of Chenxi paper before and after the M & A.

The large-scale shantytowns to the west of Chenxi paper industry were almost completely destroyed in the flood and fire in the summer of 1998. Jinhu donated funds for reconstruction, and rebuilt them with extremely high standards. It also rebuilt the residential area of the employees of the paper factory with the same high standards, forming a large modern residential community to the east of the paper factory in more than a year.

It is also inevitable that local people come from the central government to inspect the post disaster treatment in Jiangnan province. Naturally, it has become a model community and brought back a lot of political points to the province. The actual post disaster treatment situation is much more severe. Many farmers whose houses were destroyed by the flood can only get hundreds of yuan of subsidies and bags of cement afterwards.

The reconstruction of workers' residential areas or the reconstruction of shantytowns, the biggest beneficiaries are the employees of the paper mill. In addition, after the merger and acquisition of Chenxi paper, the salary and welfare of employees have increased significantly, much higher than the average level of Jinshan City, so that a job in the paper mill even reaches the level of asking Zhao Youlun.

Liang Weifa knows what Xu Xueping fears. Even though he still has nearly a decade of political career, he does not know that he can raise the average living standard of Jiangnan province to a level equivalent to that of ordinary employees of paper mills at this time before his retirement. Xu Xueping knows that he must retire to the second line before 2003. Before 2003, it will be a very arduous task for the province to basically eliminate poverty It's time.

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

After the M & A of Chenxi paper, the raw materials are imported from abroad with high price and high quality wood pulp; the investment in environmental protection does not discharge a drop of sewage to Yinma River. In Zhang Ke's words, this part of the investment accounts for 3% of the sales, which is in line with the judgment of the provincial Economic Research Institute; the salary and welfare level of employees has been greatly improved, nearly three times higher than that before the M & A.

In addition, the increase in the operating cost of the paper mill seems unimaginable for the domestic paper industry of the same kind. However, after the M & A, the actual profitability of the paper mill has not weakened at all, and the local tax has also increased significantly compared with previous years. After the acquisition of Chenxi paper mill, the annual sales of Xinguang paper exceeded 7 billion, and it has also successfully entered the top three enterprises in the domestic paper industry Among them, the actual competitiveness also far exceeds the domestic average level.

After the development of Xinguang paper industry to the current level, in addition to competing with other top domestic paper groups, it will face the competitive threat of overseas paper giants. China and the United States have reached a bilateral agreement and entered a key step towards China's accession to the WTO. The domestic paper market will also be greatly opened to overseas paper giants.

The next step of competition in the paper industry is probably reflected in the scale of forest paper integration?

The central government will not allow the entry of overseas paper giants to form 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 road of forest paper integration.

To alleviate environmental pressure, but also to produce medium and high-grade paper products, wood pulp needs to be used as papermaking raw materials; to avoid causing additional pressure on forestry resources that have touched the dangerous red line, either import a large amount of wood pulp from overseas, or plant fast and high-yield forests on a large scale and build a forest source base.

Large scale imported wood pulp has to endure the suffering of high cost. 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 Weifa thought so and looked slightly to the southwest. Although he didn't see too far in the night, he knew that there were large areas of fast-growing forests belonging to Xinguang forestry in the southwest hills of Jinshan. Xinguang forestry entered Jiangnan Province on a large scale later, but nearly 3 million mu of forest land in Donghai Province has entered the third and fourth year of growth cycle.

Liang Weifa knows that international paper giants such as Prince paper under Mitsui and Jinguang paper in Indonesia have a clear intention to invest in China. In the face of these covetous paper giants, Xinguang paper has a time advantage in forest paper integration for at least three to four years. At least in the East China Sea and Jiangnan provinces, Xinguang paper doesn't have to worry about the entry of other competitors and has a large forest The source is monopolized by Xinguang forestry, an affiliated company of Xinguang paper, and the remaining space can not fill the stomachs of overseas paper giants.

In addition to continuing to improve the forestry layout in the East China Sea and Jiangnan provinces, Xinguang forestry began to infiltrate into eastern Zhejiang, Henan, Hainan and other provinces and cities. Although the domestic forest ownership relationship is complex, it will take a long time to completely straighten it out. Without strong political support, large-scale forest planting operations in other provinces and cities can not be carried out, but Xinguang forestry is at least better than those that have not yet taken action Overseas paper giants have to take several steps ahead.

In 1996, Jinhu put all its eggs in one basket and planted forests on a large scale in the East China Sea. It was very puzzling at that time. At this time, it reflected Jinhu's foresight, especially the continuous rise in international wood pulp prices. In particular, people felt that Jinhu's strategy of Integrating Forest and paper in advance could not be more correct. As long as a large pulp factory was built in a selected place, Jinhu could quickly complete the industrial layout of forest and paper integration So as to surpass other domestic paper peers in one fell swoop. Even in the face of the competition of overseas paper giants, there is still plenty of room for maneuver. It can even be said that it also has a competitive advantage in the face of overseas paper giants.

Although Jinhu drew the big cake of pulping project in 1996, so far there has been no trace, with the gradual liberalization of the paper market to foreign investment, the development and growth of Xinguang paper industry and Xinguang forestry, they have spared no effort to plant forests in recent years. In particular, in recent years, the domestic wood pulp import volume has increased by 20% and 30% every year, and the price of imported wood pulp has soared sharply, which is clear to everyone, Even if Jinhu owns a large number of shares in the pulping plant of Yunyuan group in Malaysia, it will eventually start the pulping project in China, and the investment in the pulping project may far exceed the initial estimate of 6 billion.

In theory, tons of pulp and tons of paper. At this time, the production capacity of Xinguang paper industry will exceed 1.2 million tons, and the calculated production capacity will reach 3 million tons within three years. If the wood pulp raw materials are fully self-sufficient, it means that the pulping project in the future will also reach 3 million tons, which is at least a super investment of 20 billion yuan or 2.5 billion US dollars.

Two years ago, Jinhu said it would be a 20 billion super project, which everyone would despise; But today, no one can say that Jinhu will not quietly spend 20 billion on pulping projects.

When the pulping project is completed, will Xinguang paper gain a greater competitive advantage?

Liang Weifa sometimes thinks, why can't domestic enterprises learn from Jinhu and think twice in advance? Cheap labor is indeed an advantage, but there should always be a sense of shame when talking about it. People work hard and create performance for the enterprise. At the end of the day, even eating has become a problem. Thinking of those experts and professors who suggested setting the minimum wage at 300 yuan, Liang Weifa sighed in his heart that they want ordinary employees to work hard and make selfless contributions to the competitiveness of the enterprise.

In other words, there is still no confidence in the economy. Some things are not counted by the governor and the Secretary of the provincial Party committee. The living security standard of laid-off workers cannot be raised, and the minimum wage standard is not as high as it is artificially set. Economic development is the fundamental way to solve the problem.

The plant on the West Bank of Yinma River is continuous and brightly lit. As an industrialized monster, the production line will not stop to rest at night; On the east bank, in addition to street lights and landscape lights, industrial buildings are Liao Ruochen star.

The impact of Jinshan Lake dike break is too bad, which can almost be said to be devastating to the investment attraction in Jinshan area. Wafer factory such an influential and appealing super large project is of great significance to Jinshan.

Think about Xinting. After the port construction project on Dongshan Island was launched, large-scale investments continued one after another. The price of industrial land rose from nothing in 1997 to 120000 per mu in 1999. In order to enable the orderly development of Dongshan port industrial zone and make effective use of industrial land resources, the province took over the project approval right of more than 100 mu in the port industrial zone. The economic rise of Xinting is just around the corner. As the political, cultural and economic center of Jiangnan Province, when can Jinshan, the provincial capital, revive the economy? This problem has always been a heavy burden on the hearts of people in provinces and cities.

After listening to Zhang Ke at Xu Xueping's house, Liang Weifa couldn't help but go to the lake embankment on a cold night with Zhao Youlun. Xu Xueping was also very interested. It seemed that there was a large modern factory standing in front of him.

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

"The management of SMIC has been working very hard these days. Even if they work very hard, I will urge them to determine Jinshan's problems as soon as possible," Zhang Ke said, "When the agreement with Singapore is finalized, the specific framework will be determined. Even if the project finalization of the wafer factory will be slower, Kewang hi tech and SGD will mainly focus on the construction of standard plants in the early stage of investment, which will enter soon. If provinces and cities still feel that the speed is not fast enough, I think Jinshan City can organize the construction of standard electronic plants first, and then sell or rent them to electronic factories after completion All enterprises can... "

The wafer factory builds high-standard dust-free workshops, with huge investment and high technical requirements. Jinshan City can't do it. However, product assembly or ordinary electronic component production workshops are standard workshops. Jinshan City can invest and build on a large scale first. The investment scale is not large. The key is to greatly shorten the factory construction time of investors,

If there are ready-made factories that can be used, such as the assembly factories of Xinyuan and Kewang high tech, they can recruit employees on a large scale for training while introducing production lines; as long as the plant construction meets the standards and the charges are reasonable, investors will find it very convenient and prefer to invest in Jinshan.
