Editor's note:

The past year of 2019 is a year of steady progress in China's economy and significant progress in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. It is also a year of sustained development of China's building materials industry. In this year, as a leader in the industry, China Building Materials Group successfully completed the leadership alternation, continued to maintain high-quality development, and became a benchmark for pioneering, innovative and steady development. What achievements has China National Building Materials Group made in the past year? What successful experience has been accumulated? What is the development grand plan in the new year? The answers to these questions are very important to the world building materials industry, and are also the focus of attention of many Chinese building materials enterprises when they bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. With these questions and expectations, a reporter from China Building Materials Magazine interviewed Zhou Yuxian, secretary of the party committee and chairman of China Building Materials Group, and asked him to give you a detailed interpretation.

(I) an excellent answer sheet

China building materials to build green cement plant

　　Reporter:In the past two months since you became the chairman of China National Building Materials Group, you have visited and investigated many affiliated companies. As a former member of the building materials industry, what new feelings do you have when you leave and return?

　　Zhou Yuxian:I am a building materials veteran. Although he left the building materials industry ten years ago, he always paid attention to the development of the industry. In the dozens of days when I became the chairman of China National Building Materials Group, I went to Nanfang Cement, Nanjing Glass Fiber Institute, Beixin Building Materials, China National Building Materials Institute, Sinoma International, Sinoma Technology, Sinoma High-tech and other enterprises. It is a research work. It is also a learning process.

Over the years, China's building materials industry has indeed undergone tremendous changes. For example, the enterprises of China Building Materials Group are committed to building resource-saving and environment-friendly enterprises, taking off the hat of "silly, big, black and thick", and in accordance with the new development concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", in the selection of raw materials, Strengthen energy conservation and environmental protection in the production process and product application, not only save energy and environmental protection, but also consume a large amount of industrial waste and municipal solid waste, and promote the development of social environmental protection. Many of our cement plants are built in places where flowers are in full bloom, building a beautiful scene of harmonious development between man and nature.

Not only that, in the past, we purchased foreign technology and equipment to improve the level of China's building materials industry and promote China's environmental protection. Now we use our own technology, concepts, and standards to serve developing and developed countries, in order to improve the technology and technology of the global building materials industry. Contribute to the level of environmental protection. From the introducer to the exporter, from the learner to the teacher, from taking root in the country to blooming in the world, this is an important symbol of the revitalization of China's real economy and the world stage.

　　Reporter:As you said, China's building materials industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, in which China Building Materials Group contributed. China Building Materials Group follows the growth of the Republic, from small to large, from weak to strong. In recent years, it has made great achievements in strengthening industrial strength, scientific and technological research and development, and internationalization, and has made important contributions to the transformation and upgrading of the whole industry. Everyone is very concerned, in the past 2019, what new highlights of China National Building Materials Group? What kind of report card did you hand over?

　　Zhou Yuxian:In 2019, under the correct leadership of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, under the supervision and guidance of the National Audit Office, and with the strong support of the China Building Materials Federation, all cadres and employees united to forge ahead, overcome difficulties, and carried out a lot of fruitful work and successfully completed All the goals and tasks for the year have taken solid steps in the journey of achieving high-quality development and handed over a very excellent answer. Mainly reflected in five aspects:

The first is the operating performance to climb to a new high. For the whole year, it is expected that operating income will increase by 10% year-on-year, total profit will increase by 11% year-on-year, and net profit will increase by 10% year-on-year, creating the best performance in history and fully exceeding the operating tasks assigned by the SASAC. In 2019, it topped the list of global building materials enterprises in the world's top 500 rankings, and won the "China Brand Power Model 100 Brand" and "China Brand Development Index Top 100" selected by CCTV and People's Daily ".

The second is the innovation and transformation of bright spots. We have won 3 National Science and Technology Progress Awards, 1 China Patent Gold Award, 3 manufacturing individual championships, 1 new academician of the Academy of Engineering, and a total of 12500 valid patents. A number of technologies and products guarantee Chang'e -4, Beidou Satellite, National key projects and major events such as Daxing Airport and National Day military parade. The "cement" strategy has been comprehensively promoted, the 8.5 generation of TFT-LCD glass substrates, image light guide recognition materials, silicon nitride ceramic balls and other new materials have been industrialized for mass production, engineering and technical services and "Belt and Road Initiative" international production capacity cooperation have made continuous breakthroughs, and the "three-legged" pattern has become more perfect.

The third is the steady progress of the reform pilot. Our pilot program for state-owned capital investment companies and the pilot program for deepening the implementation of the powers of the board of directors were approved, and the number of pilot enterprises for reform increased to seven. We have steadily carried out institutional reforms, implemented measures such as equity incentives, employee stock ownership, and excess performance sharing, which have stimulated the vitality and creativity of employees, and reform dividends have continued to appear.

The fourth is the three fine management effect is obvious. We have worked hard to strengthen the foundation, "refined organization", "refined management" and "lean management" have been steadily promoted, the "2422" reduction has achieved the expected results, and the ability to deal with the uncertainty of the external environment has continued to increase. The overall quality has been significantly improved.

In particular, it should be emphasized that in this year, our party building work in enterprises has also been comprehensively strengthened. We have thoroughly studied and implemented Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, steadily promoted the theme education of "not forgetting the original aspiration and keeping in mind the mission", carried out in-depth party style and clean government construction and anti-corruption work, increased poverty alleviation efforts, strengthened the construction of talent teams, and done a good job Propaganda, ideological and cultural construction provides a strong political guarantee for the reform and development of enterprises.

The development achievements of China Building Materials Group are not pie in the sky, but created by all Chinese building materials people with hard-working hands, intelligent thinking and fighting spirit. We would like to thank Song Zhiping, Liu Zhijiang and other old leaders for their hard work and painstaking efforts. We would like to thank the cadres and employees for their hard work and silent dedication. It is the accumulation of brick by brick and 1.1 drops, which has built a high-rise building for the development of the group.

(II) innovation-driven development

Zhou Yu first went to Communication University of China to talk about innovation in the open class of state-owned enterprises.

　　Reporter:Recently, you gave a speech at the Communication University of China State-owned Enterprise Leaders Open Class, and the response was enthusiastic. In your speech, you said that China National Building Materials Group attaches great importance to innovation, and not only technology and products, from group strategy to enterprise management, from corporate governance to state-owned enterprise reform, from organizational construction to cultural construction, innovation can be said to be everywhere. As a supporter of scientific and technological innovation in the industry, what kind of innovation plan does China Building Materials Group have in the future?

　　Zhou Yuxian:General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "Development is the first priority, talents are the first resource, and innovation is the first driving force". China National Building Materials is an innovative enterprise, we always take innovation drive as the first strategy. In 2020, we should give full play to the role of "innovation is the first driving force for development", focus on China's leading and world-class goals, and comprehensively carry out four-in-one all-round innovation in technology, business model, management, and system, so as to achieve high-quality development. Strong support.

First of all, we must improve the technological innovation system. We must implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee and establish a technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market-oriented, and in-depth integration of production, education and research. As the main force of scientific and technological progress in the industry, the group should start with the main body, direction and organization of innovation, strengthen the top-level design and clarify the direction of innovation. It is necessary to promote the overall coordination of scientific and technological resources, establish a mechanism for using part of the profits of basic building materials to feed back the technological innovation of new materials, and promote the high-end technology of basic building materials. We should adhere to the unity of strategic rationality and economic rationality, realize the national strategy in a market-oriented way, and maintain and increase the value of state-owned capital. To strengthen technological research around the two markets, it is to focus on the national strategic needs, focus on the "stuck neck" technology of non-metallic materials and the frontier fields of science and technology, and do everything possible to win scientific and technological projects to serve the country, industry, and group scientific and technological progress. Strategic support; focus on the main battlefield of the national economy, break through the key links of industrialization, develop a wide range of products, and provide economic support for the sustainable development of the group. We should also promote open innovation, adhere to the combination of industry, university, research and application, the connection of upstream, middle and downstream, the coordination of large, medium and small enterprises, and adhere to the cooperation between the central and local governments, the common progress of the people, and the integration of China and foreign countries, so as to accelerate the formation of competitive advantages of integration and innovation.

The second is to build the world's leading industry innovation highland. President Qiao Longde of China Building Materials Federation put forward the hope that the group can lead China's building materials industry to the center of the world stage at the 2020 working conference of China Building Materials Group. In order to achieve this goal, we must build the world's leading industry innovation highland and always hold the commanding heights of science and technology. Our main product comprehensive operating indicators to be the world's leading, innovative technology, standards are also the world's leading.

Third, we should speed up the industrialization of new materials. On the basis of consolidating the foundation of basic building materials, we should increase the research and development and investment of new materials of the group, and form a development pattern of succession of new and old kinetic energy. It is necessary to increase investment in innovation, optimize the industrial layout, and highlight the industrialization orientation.

Fourth, we should strengthen business model innovation and management innovation. We will, as always, promote the supply-side structural reform of the cement industry, unswervingly take the lead in peak-shifting production, limit new additions, eliminate backwardness, and industry self-discipline, and strive to promote the "cement" model to be the mainstay of maintaining the healthy and orderly development of the industry. We will also continue to cultivate EPC services, cross-border e-commerce overseas warehouses, testing and certification services, building materials home chain and other models to improve system integration and innovation capabilities and create more value for customers. In accordance with the requirements of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, we will also carry out the "first-class management improvement action" to accelerate the construction of an indicator system that is more in line with the development strategy and actual operation, consolidate basic management, and improve the quality and efficiency of development. It is also necessary to continue to promote slimming and fitness, persevere in making good use of the characteristic management "combination boxing" such as lattice management and control, three-precision management, do a good job of "early and fine", practice basic skills, and ignite new development momentum through continuous management innovation.

　　Reporter:In the new material business of China National Building Materials Group, ultra-thin electronic glass, glass fiber, and new building materials have successively won the "Oscar" of the Chinese industry-China Industry Award. When visiting the Innovation Achievement Exhibition of Central Enterprises, state leaders highly affirmed the development achievements of China Building Materials Group's new materials business and praised "China Building Materials can be called Chinese materials". In the future, how will China National Building Materials Group accelerate the development of new materials and their industrialization?

　　Zhou Yuxian:The new material business is already a key "foot" in the "three-legged" pattern of China Building Materials Group, and an important support for the group to build a world-class building materials and new material industry investment group. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "major scientific and technological innovation achievements are the country's heavy weapon and the country's weapon." "Only by mastering the core technology in our own hands can we truly grasp the initiative in competition and development, and can fundamentally guarantee national economic security and national defense. Security and other security". In 2019, our self-developed 8.5-generation TFT liquid crystal glass substrate was successfully offline, and the national leaders instructed "continue to work hard to form a real advantage", which is both honor and pressure. We regard the new material business as the focus of business development at this stage, and we must continue to vigorously develop and accelerate the formation of industrial advantages, economic advantages, and leading advantages. This is not only the inevitable requirement of the transformation and upgrading of the group and the succession of new and old kinetic energy, but also the mission requirement of the central enterprises to shoulder the national responsibility bravely.

China Building Materials New Materials Business Achieves Fruitful Results

The vigorous development of China National Building Materials Group's new materials business is based on the company's expansion and strengthening, especially the cement business has earned considerable profits, which can support the investment and development of the new materials business. At the same time, we must also see that our new material industry is still in the investment period as a whole, and the scale and profit support are not enough. As mentioned earlier, we need to increase investment in new materials business innovation, optimize the industrial layout, and highlight the industrialization orientation. Specifically, on the one hand, by increasing investment in innovation, building an entrepreneurial innovation chain integrating R & D, incubation, industrialization, and scientific and technological services, promoting the improvement of innovation capabilities in key areas and the industrialization of major scientific and technological achievements, focusing on fiber composite materials, Environmental and energy membrane materials, quartz, artificial crystals and other special functional materials, display glass, special materials for major projects, etc., to create new material industry clusters. On the other hand, it is necessary to highlight the industrialization orientation, combine the excellent scientific and technological achievements of the institute with the strong industrial strength of the enterprise, combine the research and development capabilities of scientists with the management capabilities of entrepreneurs, and accelerate the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements at home and abroad.

(III) Enabling Development with Reform

Seminar on the formulation of pilot reform programmes

　　Reporter:We know that you are good at capital operation, and China National Building Materials Group is just a pilot enterprise of state-owned capital investment company. What will you do next around the pilot?

　　Zhou Yuxian:China National Building Materials Group has always been at the forefront of market-oriented reforms. In recent years, it has accumulated a wealth of reform experience, such as practicing the "central enterprise market operation" model, taking the mixed road of "national advancement", and establishing "efficient and flexible" marketization Mechanism, vigorously promote the entrepreneurial spirit of "innovation, persistence, and responsibility" as the core. These valuable experiences should be carefully summarized. Reform is the gene of China Building Materials Group. We will strengthen our confidence in the road of reform, empower development with reform, and stimulate vitality with reform. Our pilot program for state-owned capital investment companies has been approved by SASAC in September 2019. 2020 is the decisive year and acceptance year for the reform of state-owned enterprises to achieve decisive results in important areas and key links, as well as the opening year and promotion year for the implementation of the three-year action plan for the reform of state-owned enterprises. The pilot program of the state-owned capital investment company is the outline of the next reform and development of China National Building Materials Group. We will take this as an opportunity to comprehensively promote the implementation of various reform measures on the basis of summing up past reform experience, so that the dividends of deepening reform will continue to appear.

In the reform, we should actively adjust the strategic positioning. The positioning of industrial groups and industrial investment groups is different. The group headquarters should focus on the functions of investment companies, position the strategic control headquarters, and actively play the role of investment guidance and structural adjustment through investment financing, industrial cultivation and capital operation, from managing enterprises to managing capital, from building materials to comprehensive materials, from local market to global layout. In terms of investment and financing, it is necessary to build a financing system that is more suitable for the requirements of state-owned capital investment companies, focusing on the three core investment directions of optimizing and upgrading basic building materials, mass production of new materials and fist products, and deep cultivation of engineering and technical services. At the same time, we also need to optimize the control mode. As a state-owned capital investment company, the group should establish a management and control mode based on strategic objectives and financial benefits, and strive to improve the ability of strategic guidance, resource allocation, capital operation and risk control.

　　Reporter:SASAC recently held a central enterprise restructuring and integration work meeting, proposed "to further promote integration and integration, fully release the restructuring dividend". China National Building Materials Group as a pilot enterprise for the merger and reorganization of central enterprises, what corresponding measures will be taken in the next step?

　　Zhou Yuxian:We must follow the "deadline to complete, more thorough" eight-character principle, efficient and orderly promote the integration of business sectors, so that the two-material reorganization "three-step" strategy successfully concluded. In accordance with the principle of nationalization, the group will speed up the reorganization of internal resources, reconstruct the three major business units of basic building materials, new materials and engineering and technical services, implement them step by step, complete one by one, complete business integration according to the established plan, and create more large-scale professional profit platforms. Basic building materials plate, in-depth promotion of integration and optimization, highlighting professional operation. New materials sector, according to the material classification and business characteristics, determine the fist business, establish an independent capital operation platform for sub-sectors, and create more "invisible champions". Engineering and technical service sector, consolidate the platform of listed companies, actively explore overseas markets, and realize the transformation from single cement production line construction to diversified engineering construction and technical service providers.

We will continue to deepen institutional reform. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the participation of production factors such as labor, capital, land, knowledge, technology, management, and data in the distribution, which pointed out the direction for mechanism reform. The core of the mechanism is people. It must be guided by increasing the value of knowledge, fully respect scientific research, technology, and management talents, evaluate contributions by the market, determine remuneration according to contributions, and increase the intensity and coverage of the incentive mechanism, so that the majority of employees can work and live with dignity. We will focus on stimulating endogenous motivation and improving efficiency, focusing on the incentives of management, core management and technical backbones, combined with the characteristics and categories of enterprises, and use different incentive methods in a targeted manner to fully stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of backbone talents to start their own businesses.

(IV) Internationalization for Development

　　Reporter:Since the China Building Materials Federation put forward the strategic goal of "reform and innovation to promote my country's building materials industry beyond leading the world's building materials industry", the industry generally expects a group of large enterprises such as China Building Materials Group to lead China's building materials industry to the center of the world stage, so in terms of internationalization, What is the plan of China Building Materials Group?

　　Zhou Yuxian:Internationalization is the only way to build a world-class enterprise, and it is also the only way to survive and develop. As an important window for Chinese enterprises to go global and one of the national business cards, China Building Materials Group will fully integrate domestic market training and international vision planning on the basis of the existing achievements of international production capacity cooperation. We will continue to tackle tough problems in consolidating the main business, limited related diversified development and internal coordination, increase overseas market development, break the ceiling of business development, and achieve re-start, re-layout and re-breakthrough.

First of all, we should expand high-level open cooperation. We will continue to uphold the concept of "truth, truth, affinity, and sincerity", abide by the three principles of "contributing to the local economy, cooperating with local enterprises, and getting along well with local people", and be peaceful and friendly builders, from going out to going in. Through joint development among enterprises within the group, joint development with other central enterprises, joint development with private enterprises, and joint development with multinational companies, we will jointly develop the third-party market and form a competitive advantage of complementary advantages, risk sharing, and mutual benefit. Of course, in international operations, we must strictly abide by local laws and regulations, actively fulfill social responsibilities, actively integrate into local culture, adhere to honest management, be enthusiastic about public welfare, and be an excellent world citizen.

Secondly, we should innovate the "going out" mode. We will rely on advantageous industries to further integrate and share advantageous resources, achieve market internationalization, capital internationalization, and talent internationalization, and create a new model of global procurement, global sales, global service, and global resource utilization.

Finally, we must go out and work together to enhance international strength.
