Zhou Yuxian:

Build a world-class material industry investment group

In Zhou Yuxian's view, as the only central enterprise in the building materials industry, CNBM has a distinct function of serving the national strategy and industry driving, and it is a benchmark for cultivating core competitiveness and innovation ability in key industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

"After listening to the report on the spot, I was deeply encouraged and further strengthened the sense of responsibility and urgency to lead CNBM to accelerate the construction of a world-class enterprise." On October 20, Zhou Yuxian, a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Building Materials Group, said in an exclusive interview with the Economic Observer.

In his view, as the only central enterprise in the building materials industry, CNBM has a distinct function of serving the national strategy and industry driving, and is a benchmark for cultivating core competitiveness and innovation ability in key industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

The Economic Observer:What are your understanding of the top 20 reports and what do you think are the highlights of the report?

Zhou Yuxian:The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China comprehensively reviewed the work results of the past 5 years and 10 years since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and profoundly clarified the central tasks and major policies for the development of the party and the country in the next 5 years and even longer. The work of state-owned central enterprises provides a fundamental follow-up, and further points out the direction and goal of high-quality development of enterprises.

Focusing on the task of high-quality development, combined with the actual situation of China National Building Materials Group, I think the following three aspects are worthy of attention:The first is to raise the status of innovation to a new height and drive high-quality development with innovation.The report of the 20th national congress clearly pointed out that "adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China's modernization construction" and "innovation is the first driving force". Adhering to innovation-driven is also an important development strategy that China National Building Materials has adhered to for a long time, and promotes the core advantages of "National Great Materials" through innovation. Give full play to the leading role, around the "four aspects", accelerate the structural reform of the supply side of China's basic building materials industry, promote the new materials industry to overtake, build a material power. China Building Materials has developed into the world's largest basic building materials manufacturer, the world's leading new material developer and comprehensive service provider, and 7 business scales including cement, commercial mixing, gypsum board, glass fiber, wind turbine blades, cement and glass engineering are firmly ranked The world's first, creating many cases of industrialized mass production of original technologies in the material field, and having strong scientific research and industrial strength in the field of inorganic non-metallic materials, won 7 National Science and Technology Progress First Prize and 4 China Industry Awards. All of this is inseparable from the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy.

Second, we insist on deepening reform to empower high-quality development with reform.The report of the 20th Party Congress has repeatedly mentioned deepening reform and clearly put forward the direction of adhering to the reform of the socialist market economy. China building materials is in the socialist market economy in the tide of growth and growth of enterprises, reform is the gene of enterprises. We must continue to hold high the banner of reform, consolidate and enhance the results of the three-year reform of state-owned enterprises, and reform and improve the "national talent" cultivation mechanism. In the main direction of enterprise operation and the frontier field of scientific and technological innovation, we should actively promote reform measures, strive to be the vanguard of the reform of state-owned central enterprises, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of entrepreneurs, scientists, non-public shareholders, managers, backbone employees and other parties, and cultivate and create high-quality soil for "national materials.

Holding the "New Era of Meritorious Work" Theme Party Day Activities

The third is to strengthen the party building of enterprises and ensure high-quality development with party building.The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China specifically made new major deployments for comprehensive and strict governance of the party, which fully demonstrated our party's high historical consciousness of leading the great cause with great self-revolution. The development practice of state-owned central enterprises in the new era vividly shows that only by always adhering to the overall leadership of the party and constantly strengthening party building can we firmly grasp the correct direction of enterprise reform, innovation and development. China National Building Materials is a central enterprise that insists on party building and management, and must use party building to cast the spiritual core of the "great material of the country. Adhere to the leadership of the party, obey the call of the party, obey the command of the party, deeply promote the new great project of party building in the new era, resolutely shoulder the mission of serving the country by industry and strengthening the country by materials, and make unremitting efforts to achieve the second centenary goal.

Economic Observer: Can you introduce the development of China's building materials at this stage?

Zhou Yuxian:Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China Building Materials Group has adhered to reform and innovation, continuous integration and optimization, stable and good business development, fast quality improvement, and continuous optimization and upgrading of business structure. The material industry investment group, which has successfully transformed into basic building materials, new materials and engineering technology services, has entered a new stage of high-quality development.

Economic benefits:Our operating performance has reached a record high, with total assets of 652.2 billion yuan, operating income of 415.5 billion yuan, total profit of 38.7 billion yuan and net profit of 28.7 billion yuan at the end of 2021, with a total social contribution of 485.4 billion yuan in the past decade.

Deepening reform:A new model of "4335" reform of the Building Materials Group has been constructed, and the three-year reform of state-owned enterprises has been completed with high standards. This year, it has officially become a state-owned capital investment company. In terms of innovation drive, we have overcome a number of "stuck neck" technologies such as high-performance carbon fiber and glass fiber, 30-micron flexible foldable glass, 8.5-generation liquid crystal glass substrate, and formed 7 world-scale businesses such as cement, commercial mixing, gypsum board, glass fiber, wind turbine blades, cement and glass engineering.

The construction of six clinker production lines with a daily output of 6000 tons in Egypt is the largest cement production line project in the world at the same place and at the same time.

Internationalization:The market share of cement glass international engineering has been the first in the world for 14 consecutive years, serving "Belt and Road Initiative" with first-class technology, first-class equipment and first-class standards, ranking first among global building materials enterprises for four consecutive years, and constantly entering the center of the world building materials stage.

These achievements show that the development direction and path of China Building Materials Group in recent years are in line with the requirements of the party and the state policy, in line with the law of economic and social development at the present stage, and through practice, we have explored the road of transformation and upgrading of the building materials industry and the pilot program of state-owned capital investment companies is feasible. In the future, we will continue to strengthen investment capacity building, build China Building Materials into a world-class material industry investment group, and always be the pillar of the national economy with the mission of "the big one of the country", and contribute to the country's stable economic growth.

Economic Observer: How does China's building materials grasp the relevant policies of the party and the government?

Zhou Yuxian:I think there are two aspects, that is, to achieve the unity of strategic rationality and economic rationality, to implement the national strategy in a market-oriented way, to maintain and increase the value of state-owned capital, and to make state-owned enterprises stronger, better and bigger.

Built the largest high-performance carbon fiber production base in China

strategic rationality means that china national building materials group is a central enterprise,Moreover, it is the only central enterprise in the field of building materials. It is necessary to integrate the group's cause into the big chess game of the party and the state, take the initiative to assume the national responsibility and obey the national strategy. As a national team in the field of inorganic non-metallic materials, we must actively solve the "stuck neck" technical barriers to ensure the safety of the industrial chain and supply chain. Taking black gold-carbon fiber as an example, as a strategic new material, carbon fiber has long been monopolized by a few companies such as Japan and the United States. For more than ten years, CNBM has continuously invested a large amount of money without asking for returns. Finally, CNBM has independently conquered and systematically mastered T700, T800, M30, M35 kiloton and T1000, M40 kiloton technologies and equipment. It has taken the lead in realizing the autonomy of key technologies and core equipment of dry-jet wet spinning in China and won the first prize of national scientific and technological progress. The carbon fiber of CNBM also strongly supports the manufacture of domestic large aircraft and won the bid to become a qualified supplier for the three fuselage sections.

economic rationality, in the final analysis, china national building materials group is an enterprise in the field of full competition,To follow the laws of the market to run enterprises, to create market value and economic benefits. We carry out equity operation, accelerate the integration of homogeneous business of listed companies, promote the rational circulation of state-owned capital, gradually increase the proportion of income collection, and put dividend income into the transformation of new materials, in order to realize the basic building materials back-feeding the development of new materials industry. We take the lead in setting up one of the largest new materials industry funds in China to promote the industrialization of materials for the main battlefield of the national economy and benefit the people's livelihood. For example, in the carbon fiber business just mentioned, we have been sharpening our sword for ten years and will be profitable from 2020. At present, we have built a base with an annual output of 20000 tons in Xining and listed on the board. The market application and capacity expansion are in good shape. In addition, CNBM has also developed a series of important new materials to serve enterprises in many industries and the overall national economy, such as 0.03mm flexible foldable glass, 5.0 neutral borosilicate medicinal glass, 8.5 generation TFT-LCD glass substrate, copper indium gallium selenium and cadmium telluride power generation glass, lithium battery diaphragm and a number of new materials have broken through the "stuck neck" blockade, realized industrial mass production, filled the domestic gap and created good economic benefits. In the first half of this year, the profit of new materials business accounted for more than 50% of the total profit of the group.

Economic Observer: What are your expectations for the future and what are your expectations for the future central enterprises?

Zhou Yuxian:On the blueprint for China's economic development in the future, the report of the 20th CPC national congress proposed to speed up the construction of a new development pattern and strive to promote high-quality development, and clearly mentioned that the new development concept must be completely, accurately and comprehensively implemented. In the general tone, the meeting stressed thatDevelopment is the Party's top priority in governing the country,Insist on the focus of economic development on the real economyIt is necessary to build a high-level socialist market economic system, adhere to and improve the basic socialist economic system, unswervingly consolidate and develop the public sector of the economy, unswervingly encourage, support and guide the development of the non-public sector of the economy, give full play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources, and give better play to the role of the government.

At the 24th meeting of the Central Committee for comprehensively deepening Reform, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that we should speed up the construction of a number of world-class enterprises with excellent products, outstanding brands, leading innovation, and modern governance, so as to achieve greater development and play a greater role in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realizing the second centenary goal. In the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, a strong enterprise will make the country strong, and the central enterprises have a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.Central enterprises have distinct functions of serving the national strategy and industry driving. In the key industrial fields related to the national economy and people's livelihood, they need to cultivate core competitiveness and innovation ability, and actively participate in international competition.As the only central enterprise in the building materials industry, China Building Materials is duty-bound to strengthen the political nature of the party to serve the country for the people, care about the "big man of the country", create "great materials of the country", give full play to the characteristics of the material industry and the role of state-owned capital investment companies, better implement the corporate mission of "materials to create a better world", better consolidate the foundation of the real economy of a big country, and better meet the people, study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with practical actions.

Economic Observer: In the context of accelerating market changes, how will China National Building Materials seize the commanding heights in strategic adjustments in the future and seek win-win development of the entire industry chain?

Zhou Yuxian:For China National Building Materials, to promote the technological innovation and industrial upgrading of the materials industry is not only to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress with practical actions, but also an active choice for the group to grasp the opportunities for industrial strategic development.

Our three business segments,The first is the basic building materials plate excellent path.Accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the conversion of new and old kinetic energy, grasp the three major factors of cement, internationalization, and "double carbon", and strive to surpass the platform period. At present, China's building materials point line surface to promote the high-quality development of the cement plate:One is to focus on the "point",Adhere to high-end, intelligent, green, the cement products to the extreme, the technology to do leading;The second is to extend in the "line",Integrate and optimize the industrial chain and enhance the resilience of the industrial chain;The third is to expand in the "face",Create the three-dimensional value of the cement industry chain.

The second is the excellent structure of the new material plate.As a national team in the field of inorganic non-metallic materials, it is necessary to actively solve the technical barriers of "stuck neck", speed up independent innovation and industrial mass production in the field of new materials industry, and strive to select and cultivate products with market prospects, development potential, resource advantages and technical reserves through industrial funds, mergers and acquisitions, and listing, so as to cultivate a number of enterprise clusters with international competitiveness, Ensure the safety of industrial chain and supply chain.

The third is the excellent quality of engineering and technical services.On the basis of the current global market share of cement glass international engineering, accelerate the transformation and upgrading and the conversion of new and old kinetic energy, and continue to strengthen the advantages of the entire industry chain such as technology, design, process, equipment, installation, and management. Provide services for energy conservation and emission reduction, quality improvement and efficiency, and digital transformation, and provide support for consolidating and expanding global competitiveness and influence.
