Shao Jun, Founder and Chairman of China Cement Network, and His Delegation Visited Fujian Jinniu Cement

On April 13, Shao Jun, founder and chairman of China Cement Network, visited Fujian Jinniu Cement (Group) Co., Ltd. and was warmly received by Zhang Wen, chairman and general manager of Fujian Jinniu Cement (Group) Co., Ltd. The two sides had in-depth exchanges on the development trend of the cement industry. During the

communication, Li Kunming, researcher of China Cement Network Cement Big Data Research Institute, first shared the relevant data and research results of the cement industry. He pointed out that the current cement industry should have five points of consensus . First, the situation of overcapacity has become more severe. Second, the pressure of rising costs has increased unprecedentedly; Third, the marginal utility of supply-side reform is decreasing; fourth, the demand platform is facing a break and the market scale is shrinking; fifth, reasonable profit is the premise of transformation and upgrading. Li Kunming shared that investment is still an important driving force for economic recovery in 2023, and the fluctuation of cement demand has narrowed throughout the year. It is expected that the cement price in the fourth quarter will turn positive year on year, the annual average price will be lower than that in 2022, and the cost of cement per ton is expected to fall again, and the profit of the whole industry is expected to improve.

Zhang Wen highly agrees with the research results of China Cement Network. He believes that there are opportunities for the cement industry this year, especially after September in the third quarter, the demand for cement in Fujian will increase compared with the same period last year, and the situation in other provinces in East China will be better than that in Fujian. In terms of price, cement prices in Fujian are expected to recover in September and October this year, but the growth rate is not dramatic.

However, Zhang Wen also pointed out in the exchange that the cement industry in Fujian has a low concentration, more vicious competition, and as a coastal province, Fujian is greatly impacted by foreign cement, which are important factors affecting the stable development of the cement industry in Fujian. Zhang Wen

, chairman and general manager of

Fujian Jinniu Cement (Group), and Shao Jun

, founder and chairman of China Cement Network, faced with the complex industry situation, Zhang Wen's simplest business philosophy is to cultivate "internal skills", constantly improve the business indicators of enterprises, and concentrate on the main business. Create a new benchmark for the industry. As a private enterprise, Fujian Jinniu Cement (Group) will further boost its confidence in development, continue to work hard and innovate pragmatically with the integrity of "gold" and the tenacity of "cattle", accelerate the pace of high-quality development, and strive to build the enterprise into a first-class large-scale building materials group in China in the direction of high-end, intelligent and green.

In addition, the two sides also discussed coal prices, intelligent loading system, new energy layout and other topics. Also
