According to market feedback, in the traditional off-season in July, affected by the rainy weather, the market demand in Xingtai and Handan areas of Hebei Province is not good, the shipment volume of enterprises is not high, and the inventory is running at a high level. Recently, some major manufacturers in Xingtai and Handan areas of Hebei Province have notified the reduction of cement prices by about 20 yuan/ton.
"The ex-factory price of cement is basically hovering at the cost line." A cement enterprise in Hebei said.
Recently, China Cement Network surveyed the Hebei market and found that the local cement price is basically at a low level, coupled with the off-season market, most cement enterprises are in a "flat" state.
"The market demand is not good, even if the price is reduced, it is impossible to sell more cement, and competition is useless." A person in charge of a cement enterprise in Handan said that the price of cement has basically reached a level that can not be reduced.
In the survey, China Cement Network found that in the first half of this year, the operation of cement enterprises in Hebei was not good, most of them were in a loss state, only a few enterprises basically maintained no loss because of good cost control.
& nbsp; "Real Estate?"? Don't mention it, it's completely zero.
Regarding the local market demand, most cement enterprises have said that real estate is no longer available and can only be driven by infrastructure.
& nbsp; "Real Estate?"? Don't mention it, it's completely zero. A cement enterprise in Hebei said.
According to the feedback from the market, many real estate companies in Hebei have experienced "thunderstorms", and even Rongsheng Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as "Rongsheng Development"), a hundred billion real estate company in Hebei, has been in a difficult situation in the past two years. In January
this year, Minsheng Bank issued a "debt collection" announcement, but announced that Rongsheng should have paid a medium-term bill seven days ago failed to pay the principal and interest in full on time, constituting a breach of contract.

It is understood that real estate development is currently the main source of income for Rongsheng Development, accounting for more than 90% of the total revenue. Over the past two years, the property market has been in the doldrums, and the business situation of Rongsheng Development has continued to deteriorate. In 2022, its revenue was 31.793 billion yuan, down 32.7% from the same period last year. From January to March this year, revenue returned to growth, and net profit still lost 600 million yuan.
According to market feedback, the main reason for the difficult operation of real estate enterprises in Hebei is the problem of capital chain. Some real estate developers use funds for land acquisition, which can not guarantee the progress of the construction of futures houses, and the difficulty of bank loans increases, so the capital chain goes wrong. When some mixing stations sign contracts with real estate, there is even a situation of "housing for capital", in which 40% of the contracts are houses and 60% are funds.
Faced with the current severe market situation, the head of a local cement enterprise believes that the enterprise should be handed over to the market. Any non-market-oriented means to intervene in the business activities of enterprises is not conducive to development. After the cake is small, the market should be allowed to test whether the enterprise can survive, and the survival of the fittest is the fairest survival rule.
In addition, some enterprises believe that it is necessary to reduce production. The problem of overcapacity is serious, coupled with the increasing decline in cement demand, the living environment of cement enterprises is getting worse and worse, in order to avoid "price war", we can appropriately increase the number of days of off-peak production.
