After more than 20 days, the stone factory of Jinjiang Dongshi Renwu had to be shut down, but he still insisted on producing a few days and a few days. After all, he had to support his family. Because of the long-term serious pollution of the environment, according to the deployment of the provincial government, more than 500 building facing stone enterprises in Jinjiang City were ordered to withdraw before July 31, 2012. Another 109 initial (or waiting) companies that have been identified as “craft stones” can continue to survive through rectification and transformation.

The Jinjiang stone industry, which is dominated by Yonghe Town, the hometown of Chinese stone, started earlier than Shuitou Town in Nan'an City. The starting point is also better. However, in the past 10 years, the two places faced historical opportunities and market changes because of choice. Different development models have encountered different fates. Nowadays, the Nan'an stone industry has embarked on a new development mode of green environmental protection. However, due to pollution and low-end industrial structure, Jinjiang's counterparts are faced with unprecedented choices, transformational development, sudden death, or another way. ?

Regardless of the outcome, the Jinjiang Municipal Government hopes to launch a revolution that will promote the overall withdrawal or transformation of highly polluting enterprises and replace the original leading industries with new industries with the determination of the strong men.

The rise and fall of a resource-based industry

Due to the long-term satisfaction with the extensive production mode of relying on mountains and eating mountains, resulting in serious environmental pollution, Jinjiang stone industry has ushered in the limit of life and death at the end of this month after more than 30 years of prosperity. In this round of integration, more than 500 companies will be “suddenly dead” and another 109 will struggle for how to transform.

Life and death

The overall exit of the industry is actually aimed at the architectural veneer stone industry, which means that where the business scope involves stone carving (ie craft stone), there is still a last-line vitality.

Last week, Jinjiang Jinhua Stone Industry Co., Ltd. and 58 other stone enterprises in Jinjiang, which were initially identified as “craft stones”, completed the annual inspection of their business licenses. In this way, they can temporarily maintain normal production operations, but it does not mean that they have received a death-free gold medal in the "blocking" order.

It is reported that there are 109 enterprises in Jinjiang involved in the identification of craft stone, of which 59 companies all meet the strict qualification conditions set by 11 Jinjiang municipal governments, such as tax credits, environmental records, land use procedures, and business scope. According to the rectification requirements of the Jinjiang Municipal Government, the above-mentioned 59 stone enterprises must also complete the rectification before July 20th according to another document, Standardization Standard for Pollution Prevention and Control of Craft Stone Processing Enterprises. If the rectification does not meet the requirements, the limit will be met, and the same will be closed. drop out. “After the rectification, the Jinjiang Municipal Government will officially issue a letter in the name of the municipal government to announce which enterprises will eventually be recognized as 'technical stone' enterprises.” Lin Guoliang, general manager of Jinhua Stone Industry, told reporters that the company name only appears in this In the red-headed document, it means that you have received a death-free gold medal.

The other 50 companies that meet the qualification requirements, but do not have the procedures for land use, need to obtain the land use procedures before December 31 this year, and then apply for the identification as a craft stone enterprise, otherwise they will continue to close and exit.

Rebirth of early transformation

"If there was no early risk-taking transformation, now our company is estimated to be the target of being shut down." Lin Guoliang, general manager of Jinjiang Jinhua Stone Industry, said happily. For the next rectification transformation, although he knows it will be very difficult, he is confident.

In 1993, Jinjiang Yonghe Maping villager Lin Guoliang followed the tide and set up a stone factory. For a long time, Lin Jia, like other Yonghe stone factories, mainly produces building materials for roadbeds. However, the fierce low-end competition made Lin Guoliang feel that the business was getting harder and he began to ponder the processing of some special value-added stone. In 2003, a trader who had known for many years found Lin Guoliang, saying that he was undertaking a high-rise residential building materials project in Europe. The profit was very impressive, but it required two or three million yuan in advance to purchase new equipment and install new workshops. In order to pick up this big order, Lin Guoliang gave up other ordinary orders. With this project, Jinhua Company quickly transformed its production of high-end stone products.

Today, Lin Guoliang is only interested in two high-end businesses. First, the project of wealthy people has become a partner of well-known real estate agents such as Poly and Vanke. Second, the business of the dead has become one of the largest manufacturers of Eastern European tombstones in China.

It is precisely because of the large profit margin that Jinhua has more ability to invest in stone powder pollution control. The company has spent more than 10 million yuan on stone powder and sewage treatment over the years. Its groping zero-emission comprehensive pollution control technology is a rare highlight of Jinjiang Stone Industry.

Waiting for the arrival of death

Walking in the section of Maping Village to Yinglin Road, Shema Avenue, Jinjiang, there are huge stones everywhere, and there are a lot of small stone workshops in the state of discontinuation. Laowu’s stone factory is located in the mountain village of Dongshi Town, which is not far from this avenue. Laowu owns 3 grottoes and 2 stone factories, which are the big money in the mouth of the villagers. "Where I have money, the money is owed by the customer, and the salesman has invaded the public funds." In the interview, Lao Wu repeatedly sighed to the reporter that due to management confusion and extensive production, his stone factory actually has no profit. .

Shandou Village is located at the junction of Jinjiang Yonghe, Dongshi, Yinglin and other three towns. More than 10 villages nearby, just dig into the ground, is named 603# national high-quality stone. Since the 1980s, the villagers who rely on the mountains to eat mountains have set up large and small stone factories. Lao Wu is one of them. In 2005, the peak period reached five or six hundred.

“It’s too easy to make money. The villagers in this area have been satisfied with the extensive processing mode of local materials. Very few people are willing to take risks to further processing and development.” Lin Ying, secretary general of Jinjiang Yonghe Stone Association, said that due to long-term disorderly mining and extensive Production, the pollution of stone powder to the environment is getting worse. Around 2005, the people’s complaints reached the most serious level. Under the intensive media coverage, in 2009, the Jinjiang Municipal Government decided to launch a consolidation of the overall exit or transformation of the stone industry with the determination of a strong man.

Lao Wu’s stone factory was also listed as a shutdown target. For the arrival of July 31, he appeared a bit stunned. “Like a terminally ill person, he can only wait for death.”

In ten years, embarked on different paths

In 2003, Nan'an Shuitou and Jinjiang Yonghe were also awarded the hometown of Chinese stone. However, in the past ten years, due to different development concepts, Nanan Stone has embarked on a green and fashionable road, and Yonghe has been collectively “blocked” by polluting the environment.

Selling resources vs selling art

"It is difficult to imagine that having rich mineral resources has become the biggest constraint to the development of Jinjiang Stone Industry." In the interview, many Jinjiang stone owners have always believed that the stone market of Shuitou should be born in Yonghe, Jinjiang. Missing this historical opportunity may lead Jinjiang stone industry to the road of no return today.

Lin Ying, secretary general of the Yonghe Stone Association, recalled that in the early 1990s, many water heads had come to Yonghe to purchase blocks. "At the time, many of them didn't have the money, or they were credited. Because they are middlemen, the water head must study how to carry out deep processing of the blocks, and then they can make money by hand. And Yonghe people guard the 'Jinshan', naturally they are not willing to take risks. Run the market, let alone study the consumer demand and trend of the market. Lin believes that these two very different business ideas have caused the Jinjiang stone industry and the water head stone industry to be completely different in the past ten years. The road to development. Now Shuitou Stone Industry has embarked on a new development model of green and fashionable. It is selling art, and Yonghe people still stay in the extensive development mode of the stone resources left by the ancestors.

According to the data, there are about 641 various stone factories in Jinjiang City, and the scale is more than 10. The number of people living there depends on 30,000 to 40,000 people. However, the products are mainly processed with primary processing and low value-added stone plates. The output value is about 1.6 billion yuan and the tax revenue is no more than 100 million yuan.

Missed historical opportunity

A large professional market is also considered to be a key factor in determining the current development pattern of the stone industry in the two places.

In 1999, Shuitou Town established the first market of Minnan Building Materials. “The head people grasp the most critical resources – the market, through the construction of the professional stone wholesale market, to achieve the accumulation of production factors such as capital, technology, talents, information, etc. Similarly, it can give birth to new resource advantages. Facts have proved their vision and The mind is truly unique, but also successful." Chen Yongming, deputy mayor of Yonghe Town, Jinjiang City, who is in charge of the stone industry, said. For more than 10 years, under the market, Shuitou has become the largest stone deep processing base and stone distribution center in the country and even in Southeast Asia. At the same time, due to the lack of guidance and upgrade, Jinjiang Yonghe's stone industry has always been in a state of disorderly market, and is satisfied with the low-level pattern of selling blocks and rough processing.

In the interview, the reporter learned that Yonghe Stone used to have development opportunities. Before the completion of the stone market in Nan'an Shuitou, Yonghe people already had the idea of ​​building a market. Later, because of various problems, especially Yonghe people have long relied on mountains and mountains. Conservative concept, this market was dragged into the first phase of the 2007 building, but it was too late. The reporter went to the current Yonghe stone market. There are only a few shops selling stone machinery, and most of the other shops are closed.

"Yonghe Stone is rich in mineral resources, but because it is primary processing for a long time, the money is not more than others, the environment is destroyed more than others, and the competitiveness is not comparable to others. This is the place where Yonghe people should reflect." Lin said .

Transformation, where is the road?

Now, there are four roads in front of more than 600 stone owners in Jinjiang: upgrading, switching, shutting down or shifting to the inland, but all the roads are hard.

"We have been in the stone industry for decades, and other industries can't do it." Cai Zhihui is the owner of Jinjiang Dongxin Stone Industry Co., Ltd. In order to seek new development space, two years ago, he went to the stone factory in Wenshang County, a stone town in Shandong Province with several local bosses, and transferred some of the production capacity to the local area in advance. It has become the best choice for many Jinjiang stone owners to develop in inland underdeveloped areas rich in stone resources such as Shandong and Henan.

There are also a small number of forward-looking stone companies that have begun to interface with other projects to initiate the transformation. Last year, Jinjiang Tianfu Stone Factory took the lead in withdrawing from the stone industry. At the same time, it established a joint venture with China's top 500 enterprises Xugong Group to establish Jingfa Machinery Parts Co., Ltd., which is the main production machinery component, and became a model for Jinjiang stone enterprises to withdraw from transformation.

Tianfu is only a case after all. Among the more than 400 stone enterprises that have been closed, less than 10 have entered the substantive transformation. The project types cover mechanical parts, logistics, packaging and printing. “Exit is difficult, and transformation is a bigger proposition.” Chen Yongming, deputy mayor of Yonghe Town, is frank. The person in charge of the Jinjiang City Stone Retreat Office said that for the conversion of the closed enterprises, it will strive to plan and generate a number of small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurship parks or warehouse logistics parks to help close the exit enterprises and surrounding people to find new ways to make a living.

In the game with the government, 109 stone enterprises in Jinjiang survived by the “craft stone” hat. These enterprises are also facing new challenges in how to transform and upgrade. If there is no "staying dead and then born" and embark on the green development path, then another round of "blocking" will come sooner or later.

Notes

Social comprehensive economic account

Yonghe Stone Industry has paid taxes of 670 million yuan in 2011, accounting for less than 1 point in Jinjiang’s financial cake of 13.6 billion yuan. For the government, the entire industry is shut down within an affordable range. Therefore, some people say that the stone industry has been shut down collectively, which is actually a comprehensive social economic account.

From the forced rectification of Jinjiang to high-pollution industries such as leather and ceramics in recent years, it is not difficult to see that the tolerance of local governments for highly polluting industries is rapidly decreasing. The entire industry of the architectural veneer stone industry was ordered to withdraw as a whole, which can be said to be the most stringent environmental rectification in the history of the city, which is intended to force industrial upgrading.

Liu Qiuming, a listed counseling expert and founding partner of Henderson Investment, believes that the starting stage of all traditional industries starts from extensive processing, but as the economy develops to a certain stage, the balance of social resource allocation will inevitably tilt, and high-quality enterprises will gain more. More resources, accelerate development, and those enterprises and industries that lack industry self-discipline and seriously damage the environment will inevitably become the targets of social ban.

Some insiders predict that the rectification and asset restructuring of Jinjiang Stone Industry is far from the end. As the country's energy conservation and emission reduction efforts become larger and larger, the high energy consumption and high pollution industries will face a round of transformation and upgrading.
