It is understood that the proposal for the integration of state-owned coking enterprises in Shanxi Province was reported to the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government by the Shanxi Coking Industry Association in early June, and then the proposal was instructed by the senior leaders of Shanxi Province. At present, Shanxi Coking Association is further promoting the implementation of this matter.
Liu Tailai, deputy secretary-general of Shanxi Communications Association, told this newspaper that before the proposal was submitted, Shanxi Communications Association held several seminars to study the proposal and solicited opinions from experts, departments and related enterprises.
An expert attending the meeting pointed out that there are many coking enterprises in Shanxi Province, but because the scale of a single enterprise is too small, the core competitiveness of the whole industry is gradually losing, and integration is the only way to improve competitiveness. Through the establishment of a large group of 10 million tons, Shanxi coking industry can realize a beautiful turn and realize the preservation and appreciation of state-owned assets.
It is understood that the nine state-owned enterprises involved in the scheme include Shanxi Coking Group, Shanxi Coking Group, Taiyuan Coal Gasification Group, Taiyuan Chemical Industry Group, Wulin Coal Coking Development Co., Ltd., Lu 'an Huaneng Wuyang Hongfeng Coking Co., Ltd., Shanxi Liu Li Coking Group, Huozhou MCC Coking Co., Ltd. and Xishan Coal Gasification, with a total production capacity of 6,543,800 tons. Among them, Shanxi Coking Group and Shanxi Coking Group are among the best in production capacity, with 3.6 million tons and 2.9 million tons respectively, which are recognized as leading enterprises in this round of integration.
In fact, the idea of Shanxi Coking Group has a long history, but it is the first time to put forward the idea of combining nine state-owned enterprises into one. At the end of last year, the relevant departments of Shanxi Province also formulated a preliminary plan for the integration of the coking industry. Specifically, on the basis of existing large enterprises, regardless of ownership, including American Group, Shanxi Coking Group, Taiyuan Coal Gasification Group and Taihua Group, five million-ton coking groups and 10 million-ton coking groups were established through acquisition and other means.
Different from the previous scheme, which takes the leading role and "takes the big as the small", the latest nine-in-one scheme is more like "strong alliance". An executive of Shanxi Coking Company, who asked not to be named, believes that the scheme is more difficult to operate than the one proposed before, because there are too many large enterprises and no one wants to be merged by other enterprises.
However, Zhang believes that the reason for choosing the merger of state-owned enterprises is that it is easy to operate. "Through the transfer of property rights, a meeting can be completed by sending a document." According to reports, these nine coking enterprises (or their parent companies) are directly managed by the Shanxi Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
"It should be said that the most difficult problem to solve is the composition of corporate leadership. Nine companies have hundreds of executives. " Zhang said to him.
The next step of integration
According to the thinking of Shanxi Coking Association, the integration of nine state-owned coking enterprises is only the first step of the great integration of Shanxi coking industry. According to Zhang, Shanxi Communications Association's suggestions to the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government also include that after the integration of state-owned enterprises is completed, enterprises will be reorganized by means of merger, reorganization, acquisition and custody to form a larger industrial body.
Coking is the main force of coking industry in Shanxi Province, accounting for 85% of its production capacity. However, similar to the existing state-owned enterprises, it also faces the problem of too scattered production capacity. Moreover, compared with state-owned enterprises, enterprise integration is more difficult. Zhang pointed out that the integration of commercial enterprises involves many issues, such as property rights, fair trade, price evaluation and benefit distribution. Therefore, if the state-owned enterprises can be integrated in advance, it will play a leading role for commercial enterprises.
Promoting the spontaneous integration of coking enterprises is also the general trend. Shanxi Coking Association also suggested to the provincial party committee and government that industrial policies and environmental protection policies should be used to encourage and guide enterprises to integrate with large enterprises and form coking groups.
According to the integration goal proposed in the Plan, the number of coking enterprises will be reduced to less than 150 by 20 1 5 years, and a number of super-large coking enterprises with international advanced furnace capacity of100000 tons and 5 million tons will be cultivated, and the number of coking enterprises will be reduced to 60.
