1906, in order to strengthen its political and economic aggression against northeast China, Japan established Nanman Railway Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Manchuria Railway) in Dalian as its base camp for its economic aggression against northeast China.
1August, 909, Manchuria Railway sent people to carry out illegal and secret prospecting in Anshan area, and successively investigated more than ten iron mines such as Tieshishan, Xi 'anshan, Donganshan, Dagushan, cherry orchard, Guanmenshan, Xiaolingzi and Gongchangling, and found resources such as Dashiqiao magnesite and Yantai clay mine, and found that Anshan area is a treasure house for mining, building factories and steelmaking.
Sukejiro Nakamura, president of Manchuria Railway, put forward a plan to plunder Anshan's iron and steel resources. Yu Chonghan, a traitor, and Misuke Urata, a Japanese, came forward to form a Sino-Japanese joint venture to revitalize Iron Ore Co., Ltd.
1965438+In July 2006, the General Administration of China-Japan Joint Revitalization Iron Ore Co., Ltd. was established in Toyota with a capital of140,000 yen. Nominally, it is an equal investment between China and Japan, but in fact it is fully funded by Manchuria Railway.
The General Bureau of Mining was located in Qian Shan and moved to Anshan two years later.
19 17 obtained the mining rights of 8 mining areas, including Dagushan, cherry orchard, Dong 'anshan, Xi 'anshan, Wangjiapuzi, Duimian Mountain, Guanmenshan, Xiaolingzi and Tieshishan.
Total area 14578 mu.
192 1 Obtained the mining rights of Baijiapuzi, Yidanshan and Xinguanmen.
Only in 1926- 1933, the output is 4.8 million tons.
The General Affairs Department was dissolved on 1940 and merged into Showa Steel Works.
19 16 while running the company, Manchuria Railway began to build Anshan Iron Works.
19 16, Japan * * * approved the establishment of Anshan iron works, and held a "national sacrifice" on April 3, 19 17 to start the blast furnace construction.
19 18 On May 15, "Anshan Iron Works" was formally established. Yutaro Sakata was appointed as the director of Anshan Iron Works, and most of the factory construction projects were completed by the end of the year.
1965438+In March 2009, the coking plant began to produce coke.
On April 29th, the blast furnace 1 was ignited, marking the official commissioning of Angang.
193 1 After the September 18th Incident, Japan occupied the whole northeast.
1933, with the support of the military department, Japan * * * moved the Showa Steel Plant originally planned to be built in North Korea to Anshan with full investment from Manchuria Railway, and built steel mills and rolling mills on the existing basis of Anshan Iron and Steel Plant to become a steel joint venture.
Anshan Showa Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is a Japanese legal person and a subsidiary of Manchuria Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and its president is Xiong Zhuowu.
Before the establishment of Showa Iron Works, it signed an agreement with Manchuria Iron Works to continue to employ all the staff of the former Anshan Iron Works, thus merging Anshan Iron Works.
On June 4th, 1936, Zhenxing Company leased the mining right of Dagushan 1 1 mining area to Showa Iron Works for direct mining.
In July 1937, 1, Showa Steel took over the property rights and debts of revitalizing the company.
1940 12.7, Showa Iron Works completed the ore transfer procedures, completely merged and revitalized the Iron Mine Co., Ltd., and formed a continuous production operation system for mining, mineral processing, ironmaking and steel rolling.
With the expansion of Japan's armament scale, the production scale of Angang has developed by leaps and bounds.
By 194 1 year, it has an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons of pig iron, 65,438+300,000 tons of steel ingots and 750,000 tons of steel.
Its steel production capacity accounts for 28.4% of the total production capacity controlled by Japan, and its scale is second only to that of Hachiba Steel Works in Kyushu (today's Nippon Steel).
At that time, another iron and steel producer in Manchukuo, Benxihu Coal and Steel Company (affiliated to Japan's Otakura chaebol), was only one-third the size of Showa Steel Works.
1943, the production capacity of Showa Iron Works reached the highest level. In that year, it produced 0.3 million tons of iron, 843,000 tons of steel and 495,000 tons of steel.
According to the annals of Anshan Iron and Steel Company, during the period of 1935- 1945, Showa Steel Works and Anshan Plant of Manchuria Steel Company produced 9.056 million tons of pig iron, 5.474 million tons of steel and 3.278 million tons of steel.
Anshan iron and steel company was established in 1948, and started construction on the ruins on July 9 of the following year, which quickly resumed production and carried out large-scale technical transformation and capital construction.
After decades of construction and development, Angang has formed a large-scale iron and steel enterprise group consisting of mining, mineral processing, ironmaking, steelmaking and rolling, as well as auxiliary units such as coking, fire resistance, electric power, transportation, metallurgical machinery, construction, technology research and development, design, automation and comprehensive utilization.
It can produce more than 700 varieties and more than 25,000 specifications of steel.
It has a comprehensive production capacity of 0/60,000 tons of iron, 0/60,000 tons of steel and 0/50,000 tons of steel.
On July 2 1 day, 2065438, and May 13, US Eastern Time, Zhang Xiaogang, General Manager of Angang Group, and President of US Steel Development Corporation signed three investment cooperation memorandums in new york, including the Agreement on Angang's Equity Investment in US Steel Development Corporation.
If the cooperation is reached, China steel industry will invest in establishing the first steel plant in the United States.
As the world's "eldest son of steel", "going out" is an important link for Angang to change its development mode and move towards internationalization.
Although the plan to set up a factory in the United States failed to be formally signed due to some resistance from the United States, Angang is still working hard for this project and has not wavered in its determination to "go global".
Everything about the new Bayuquan plant in Angang has subverted the past impression of the steel industry.
In Angang, a modern new factory, electric furnace steelmaking replaces coal burning, industrial water comes from seawater desalination, and solar energy and wind energy maintain the lighting and heating of the factory ... It is an out-and-out "green steelmaking", showing the world the progress of China's iron and steel industry in changing its development mode.
For a long time, the steel industry has been criticized for its high energy consumption, high pollution and large consumption of non-renewable resources.
In the case of China's serious overcapacity and persistently low price of iron and steel, how to reflect the requirements of scientific development and realize the sustainable development of iron and steel industry is an unavoidable big problem.
On 2011July 2 1, Zhang Xiaogang, General Manager of Angang, and Danqing Lin, Assistant General Manager, met with Taisansan Kudo, President of Japan Post Shipping Co., Ltd. and his party. The two sides discussed in depth the expansion of cooperation between the two companies, and exchanged views on the current world economic situation, the development of steel and shipbuilding industries, and energy conservation and emission reduction of enterprises.
Zhang Xiaogang welcomed Kudo Tezo's visit.
He said that Japan Post Shipping Co., Ltd. has a wide range of business and has a very close relationship with steel enterprises.
Angang and Japan Post Co., Ltd. have a good cooperative relationship. No matter how the market fluctuates, the two sides always look at the problem from a strategic perspective, supporting and promoting each other.
Affected by the adjustment of the world economy, the steel economic situation in China is not optimistic, and the domestic steel market will remain depressed, which is undoubtedly a challenge for Angang.
With the continuous adjustment of industrial structure, the production scale of Angang will be further expanded, and the scope of international operation will also be expanded, which means that the opportunities for future cooperation between Angang and Japan Post Co., Ltd. will increase. I hope that both sides will work together to push the existing good cooperation between the two sides to a broader and deeper level.
Kudo Taisan first thanked Angang for its support to Japan Post Company for many years and introduced the basic situation of Japan Post Company.
He said that Japan Post Corporation's ocean route transportation started in China and gradually developed. Angang is one of the strategic customers of Japan Post Co., Ltd. In the future development, Japan Post Co., Ltd. is willing to continue to deepen and expand cooperation with Angang.
Established in 1885, Japan Post Co., Ltd. is one of the most famous transportation companies in the world, operating hundreds of ocean-going ships, including container ships and steel raw materials ships.
