On March 25, OCC Chairman Ma Weiping and his delegation visited Jiangxi Wannianqing Cement Co., Ltd. and received Chen Wensheng, Party Secretary, Chairman and General Manager of Jiangxi Building Materials Group Co., Ltd. and Chairman of Jiangxi Wannianqing Cement Co., Ltd. Li Shifeng, member of the Party Committee of Jiangxi Building Materials Group Co., Ltd., Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Jiangxi Wannianqing Cement Co., Ltd., was warmly received. The two sides exchanged views on the current difficulties faced by the cement industry and how to stabilize the development of the industry.
Li Shifeng welcomed Ma Weiping and his delegation and introduced the cement industry in Jiangxi Province. It is understood that the overall situation of the cement industry in Jiangxi Province in 2024 is still acceptable. Since August last year, the cement price in Jiangxi Province has been repaired several times, making the cement price in the second half of the year return to the same period last year. Cement sales in Jiangxi Province fell by nearly 20% in 2024, exceeding expectations, but cement prices in Jiangxi Province remained better in 2024, mainly due to the consensus formed by enterprises in the province.
Li Shifeng introduced that in 2024, the production and operation of Wannianqing cement plate was relatively stable, and the commercial mixed plate was more difficult. He pointed out that challenges and opportunities coexist in the industry situation this year, and the decline in demand is expected to narrow. Under the call of anti-involution, the market competition among enterprises will become more rational, and the economic benefits of the industry are expected to improve.
Ma Weiping said that the cement industry must not fall into the quagmire of "involution" vicious competition. Respecting market rules, respecting scientific and technological innovation, attaching importance to talent, and facing the current predicament with a rational and scientific attitude are the key to breaking the situation. OCC actively responds to the call of national policies, thoroughly implements the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and makes unremitting efforts to eliminate the vicious competition of "involution", restore the industry ecology and restore the confidence of enterprises. Other leaders
participating in the exchange included Zhang Kuifeng, General Manager of Sales Company of Jiangxi Wannianqing Cement Co., Ltd., and Zhang Xianfeng, Director of Operation Management Department.
