In order to better manage the shares of China Building Materials in New Tianshan Cement, the Party Committee of China Building Materials recommended Zhang Jianxing, a non-public shareholder of New Tianshan Cement, as the supervisor of the new company.

At the end of

2021, under the promotion of China Building Materials Group, 100% equity of China United Cement , 99.93% equity of Southern Cement , 95.72% equity of Southwest Cement , After 100% equity of Sinoma Cement was injected into the listed company

In order to better manage the shares of China Building Materials in New Tianshan Cement, the Party Committee of China Building Materials recommended Zhang Jianxing, a non-public shareholder of New Tianshan Cement, as the supervisor of the new company. "I think if I watch my small stocks, I will also watch the large state-owned stocks." Zhang Jianxing said.

In China Building Materials, there are a large number of state-owned enterprise executives like Zhang Jianxing who are not public shareholders. They are the important harvest of promoting the reform of mixed ownership in China's building materials industry for many years, and also the bold attempt of state-owned enterprises to solve the problem of the absence of owners.

Zhang Jianxing has been in charge of Hushan Cement for many years. But being a boss is not easy. At that time, there were many enterprises of the same trade around Hushan Cement, competing with each other to lower prices, basically losing money and earning money. Therefore, in 2007, when China Building Material decided to integrate

2007, Southern Cement, initiated by China Building Materials as the largest shareholder and Bangda as the second largest shareholder, was formally established. This has become an important milestone in the development history of China's building materials and cement business from scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong, from strong to excellent, and also an important breakthrough for state-owned enterprises to allow non-public shareholders to retain part of their equity in new enterprises and act as professional managers. Zhang Jianxing has served as Executive Director, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Secretary of the Discipline Committee and Executive Vice President of Southern Cement for many years.

Many people worry that non-public shareholders will not adapt to the work of state-owned enterprises.

Practice has proved that under the guarantee of the standardized board of directors of state-owned enterprises, Zhang Jianxing is like a fish in water. "Individual managers stationed by major shareholders may have a strong sense of the whole and the overall situation, but their ability to solve specific problems is not so good.". At this time, we have to give more advice. Zhang Jianxing said. After the combination of the advantages of state-owned enterprises and the vitality of private enterprises, the competitiveness of Southern Cement has fully burst out and achieved happy development results.

"I used to control all the shares, but I didn't make much money.". Now my equity ratio has been reduced, but I have made a lot of money. Today, Zhang Jianxing is very gratified by the decision of that year.

In 2007, the sales revenue of Southern Cement was 1.062 billion yuan, and the total profit was only 0.2020, and the sales revenue of Southern Cement reached 66.991 billion yuan. The total profit reached 145. The annual compound growth rate was 37.5% and 51. As an important shareholder of Southern Cement, Zhang Jianxing and others naturally benefited a lot.

Of course, Zhang Jianxing is not the only one who benefits. The exploration of

mixed ownership reform has helped China Building Materials Group achieve leapfrog development and rapidly grow into the largest comprehensive building materials industry group in China, ranking first in the world in cement, gypsum board, glass fiber and other industries. Revenue, net profit and other major economic indicators continue to optimize.

Development will not stop and reform will be endless. After the establishment of

New Tianshan Cement, Zhou Yuxian, secretary and chairman of the Party Committee of China Building Materials Group, said that after the integration, the synergy effect and core competitive advantage of New Tianshan Cement will be further highlighted, and its profitability, compr ehensive competitiveness and sustainable development ability will be further enhanced. "New Tianshan Cement will build a world-class cement company and lead the development direction of the global cement industry." Zhou Yuxian said.

As the supervisor of China Building Materials in New Tianshan Cement, Zhang Jianxing and other directors and supervisors shoulder the responsibility of reflecting the will of shareholders of state-owned capital investment companies and managing the capital flow and income collection of enterprises. "We will introduce the good experiences and practices we have explored over the years into the New Tianshan Mountains and build the New Tianshan Cement into an all-round industry benchmark as soon as possible." Zhang Jianxing said.

It is understood that you have basically experienced the whole process of China's socialist market economic system from difficult exploration to more mature finalization. In your opinion, what should be the relationship between the two?

I fully agree with this statement. The state-owned economy is an important component of the socialist public economy and the leading force of the national economy. Private economy is an important part of the socialist market economy, but also a useful supplement. State-owned economy and private economy do not oppose each other, there is no fundamental contradiction between the conflict, but complement each other, common development, cooperation and win-win relationship. The most typical manifestation is the cross-shareholding and integration of state-owned capital and private capital through the reform of mixed ownership.

I agree with SASAC's classification policy for state-owned enterprises. For fully competitive commercial state-owned enterprises, we should advocate the mixing of state-owned economy and private economy, and give full play to the advantages of state-owned enterprises and the vitality of private enterprises.

You have also experienced the whole process of state-owned enterprises from grasping the big and relaxing the small to optimizing the layout. For years, there has been a view that state-owned enterprises should withdraw from the competitive field. However, practice has proved that state-owned enterprises, including China's building materials, can still achieve good development in the field of full competition. What are the basic principles of industrial layout for state-owned enterprises and private enterprises? The state-owned economy has been deeply cultivated in the traditional manufacturing industry for decades, has a deep market foundation, management foundation and technology foundation, and is in the leading position in the industry, which plays an important role in the healthy development of the industry and can not be replaced.

However, in emerging industries such as the Internet, innovative culture and efficient market response mechanism are needed, and private enterprises tend to have more development advantages. State-owned enterprises entering these fields need to further learn the advanced experience of private enterprises.

In the future, the layout of state-owned enterprises should focus on increasing investment in cultivating industry leaders. One is in the lead of high-tech, the other is in capital-intensive industries, and the third is in the layout of industries related to and serving the national economy and people's livelihood. In my opinion, limited state-owned capital should be invested in more important areas, and new investment should be reduced in general industries, so that state-owned capital can play a more important role.

Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has paid great attention to the reform and development of state-owned enterprises and Party building. From 2012 to the end of 2020, what achievements have been made in the reform and innovation of Southern Cement? What are the most prominent changes? In the past few years, Southern Cement has taken the lead in promoting various reforms and innovations in the overall strategy, which is mainly manifested in three aspects: the first is joint reorganization, the second is three-fine management, and the third is optimization and upgrading. The specific approach is to adhere to the two concepts (namely, the value concept of "the interests of the industry are higher than those of the enterprise, and the interests of the enterprise are in the interests of the industry" and the management concept of "price, cost and profit"), and take the lead in implementing the "four unswerving" (restricting new growth, eliminating backwardness, off-peak production, and industry self-discipline).

This time, "the state" and "the people" have come to this day hand in hand, which has become a happy marriage: the industry has developed healthily, the technological progress and optimization and upgrading of enterprises have achieved remarkable results, and all shareholders have received good returns. After the

formation of Southern Cement, China Building Materials continued to promote industry integration. With the steady withdrawal of excess capacity and backward capacity, the value of cement industry has been rationally returned. The profit of cement industry increased from 25.1 billion yuan in 2007 to 183.3 billion yuan in 2020, an increase of 630%, significantly outperforming steel (71%), coal (201%) and other industries; Industry concentration jumped from 15% in 2007 to 64% at the end of 2020, industry organizational structure continued to improve, and resource allocation efficiency continued to improve.

The enterprise has been developing at a high speed, and its benefits have repeatedly reached new heights. In 2007, the sales revenue of Southern Cement was only 1.062 billion yuan, and the total profit was only 0. In 2020, the sales revenue was 66.991 billion yuan, and the total profit was 14.574 billion yuan; During the compound growth rate of 37.5% and 51.14 years respectively, the total business income of Southern Cement was 510 billion yuan, the total profit was 57 billion yuan, and the total social contribution was 150.8 billion yuan. Especially since 2018, the total profit has exceeded 10 billion yuan for four consecutive years, and has successfully achieved high and steady growth. This has also laid a very solid foundation for the formation and development of New Tianshan Cement. What advantages has

"country" and "people" brought to the development of Southern Cement in the past and New Tianshan Cement in the present? What has Hushan Group learned in the process? What is your daily time allocation? It has established a standardized corporate system and corporate governance structure, including the system of shareholders'meeting, board of directors and board of supervisors, and formed a "scientific management, efficient operation, full of vitality and continuous innovation" model of central enterprises, so that the company can truly become a legal entity in the market competition. In December

2021, after the establishment of New Tianshan Cement, the governance structure was further optimized. The board of directors of the company consisted of nine members, with the majority of external directors and one employee director. I served as a full-time supervisor as a shareholder among the five supervisors. Under the guarantee of such governance structure, the strength of state-owned enterprises + the vitality of private enterprises = the comprehensive competitiveness of mixed ownership can be realized. This is our greatest development advantage.

In the past ten years, I think the rigorous management and standardized management of modern state-owned enterprises are worthy of serious study by private enterprises.

As a senior executive and shareholder, I used to spend most of my time on the management of Southern Cement, while my original enterprise was managed by professional managers. In the future, I will continue to devote my main energy to the work of New Tianshan Cement.

As a shareholder, from the point of view of the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the supervisor, my point of view is to look at my small shares, that is, to look at the large state-owned shares. In this way, I can not only firmly adhere to Party discipline and state law, but also make it easy for shareholders of all kinds to accept my supervision and management.

China Building Materials and its affiliated enterprises are participants and beneficiaries of the reform of state-owned enterprises. There is no end to reform. This year is the closing year of the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform. What is the plan of New Tianshan Cement in terms of reform? What are your expectations for the development of New Tianshan Cement? With the further integration and optimization of New Tianshan Cement, new breakthroughs will be made in the reform of mixed ownership and national integration, and more experience will be accumulated. This will also bring unprecedented vitality and vitality to enterprises. The

establishment of New Tianshan Cement itself is a concrete action for China Building Materials to implement the relevant requirements of the reorganization of the two materials of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and an important measure to deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises and build world-class enterprises with international competitiveness. In the future, New Tianshan Cement will always bear in mind the great trust of General Secretary Xi Jinping, uphold the corporate mission of "materials create a better world" of China Building Materials, and earnestly fulfill the responsibilities of central enterprises in accordance with the requirements of Chairman Zhou Yuxian of the Group for positioning New Tianshan Cement as a world-class enterprise. Adhere to open cooperation and improve the level of internationalization. We will continue to promote the development of mixed ownership enterprises, further develop the strength of state-owned enterprises and the vitality of private enterprises, stand at the commanding heights of the industry to operate enterprises and lead the industry, and build a world-class cement company as soon as possible.
