"In fact, capacity replacement is not a static change in numbers, but a dynamic concept."
"When Jianlong Group 'went out', I was thinking in reverse, what are the earliest enterprises to invest in China? And what is still going well?"
"How does finance serve the real economy? I call on our private enterprises to strengthen research on technology finance, digital finance, green finance and inclusive finance."

On January 12, Zhang Zhixiang, chairman and president of Jianlong Group, made a witty keynote report at the sixth meeting of the Sixth General Assembly of the China Iron and Steel Association, and enthusiastically shared his three thoughts on the high-quality development of the steel industry with the representatives of the meeting.
The picture shows Zhang Zhixiang
First, capacity management and joint restructuring. In terms of capacity management, Zhang Zhixiang believes that, on the one hand, with technological progress, management upgrades, etc., the production efficiency of steel mills is gradually improved, and the output of the same smelting equipment will be increased. At the same time, the domestic steel demand has reached the peak level, the future steel demand will decline, and with the rising cost of land, labor and other factors, low-cost competitiveness is unsustainable, export demand will also decline, which will further cause the contradiction between supply and demand prominent. On the other hand, the existing capacity replacement policy guides the large-scale development of smelting equipment and increases enterprise investment, which also increases the cost and difficulty of further capacity reduction in the future. "Therefore, the capacity governance mechanism needs to be rethought." 'he said.
"The key to joint restructuring is in two dimensions." Zhang Zhixiang pointed out that, first, the coordination and reorganization of enterprises in the region is an important starting point to promote the rationalization of supply and demand. One of the biggest benefits of increasing industrial concentration is that it can be unified and coordinated to achieve orderly development of production capacity. Second, product segmentation market reorganization is an effective way to promote the rationalization of supply and demand. High-end product manufacturers promote market segmentation restructuring through coordination, which helps to improve the relationship between product supply and demand.
Second, international development. Zhang Zhixiang believes that China's steel industry has a good industrial foundation and scientific research ecology, and has the comparative advantage of the whole industrial chain in competition with global steel enterprises. At present, China's railway, port, bridge construction enterprises and automobile, photovoltaic and other manufacturing enterprises have been widely carried out international development, iron and steel enterprises to speed up the follow-up, will form a synergistic competitive advantage in the international industry chain.
He suggested that the international development of iron and steel enterprises should focus on the three principles of product positioning, partner selection and establishing a good image. In terms of product positioning, we should focus on the production of high value-added products to avoid competition with local enterprises in low-end products. In the selection of partners, we should choose local enterprises with high management and technical level, and familiar with local laws and regulations, customs and customs to carry out cooperation, so as to reduce the risk of enterprise operation and management. In establishing a good image, we should focus on enterprise management, environmental governance, energy saving and low-carbon, safety responsibility, local talent training, employee welfare and other contents to enhance the corporate image.
Third, cooperation between industry and finance. Zhang Zhixiang said that the Central Financial Work Conference required the writing of five articles on science and technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance and digital finance. The steel industry has a large scale and many scenarios, and in the process of transformation and upgrading, it can better support the implementation of scientific and technological finance, green finance, digital finance, inclusive finance and other policies.
At the same time, he introduced Jianlong Group's practice in industry and finance cooperation. By the end of 2023, 20 green projects such as environmental protection, energy conservation and carbon reduction of Jianlong Group have received credit support, with a total amount of about 2.6 billion yuan; Breakthroughs have been made in online supply chain finance, with more than 10 billion yuan of credit granted.
Finally, he suggested that relevant state departments should strengthen policy coordination, and further increase financial support such as equipment renewal and reconstruction loans, environmental protection financial support project libraries, and green factory financing. At the same time, he called for the China Iron and Steel Industry Association to take the lead in strengthening the docking with financial institutions and relevant departments, accelerating the formulation of relevant financial standards such as science and technology finance, digital finance, and green finance, and jointly studying operational and landing support measures to help the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry.
