Cement is a great cause, carrying the people's yearning for a better life, and laying a solid foundation for economic and social development. Over the past decades, China's cement industry has been developing continuously and making great progress, realizing the technological leap from shaft kiln to new dry process, completing the transformation from following to leading in the world, and becoming a basic industry with great international competitiveness in China. In the course of the vigorous development of the cement industry, a large number of dedicated outstanding figures have emerged, who have profoundly reshaped the development pattern of China's cement industry and injected strong impetus into the iterative upgrading of the industry. In the near future, China Cement Network will review the industry figures who have made outstanding contributions to China's cement industry from a third-party perspective.
Today, we bring Zhang Zengguang, former party secretary and chairman of Tangshan Jidong Cement Co., Ltd. Born in 1959,
Zhang Zengguang graduated from Shandong Institute of Building Materials Industry (now the predecessor of Jinan University), majoring in cement technology. He was assigned to Jidong Cement Plant in 1981 and resigned from Jidong Cement in 2016. Starting from the operator, Zhang Zengguang successively served as squad leader, section chief, deputy workshop director, workshop director (production director), assistant general manager, deputy general manager, general manager and party secretary, chairman and party secretary.
As the core enterprise of Jidong Cement Group, Tangshan Jidong Cement Co., Ltd. was born in the early stage of reform and development. At that time, the reconstruction of Tangshan after the earthquake and the urban construction of Beijing and Tianjin were in urgent need of basic raw materials such as cement. At the end of 1979, the state decided to invest in the construction of Jidong Cement Plant. In 1983, it successfully introduced the most advanced 4000t/d new dry process cement production line from abroad and put it into trial production. In 1985, it was formally put into operation. In 1994, the first domestic 4000t/d new dry process clinker production line independently designed, manufactured and installed in China was constructed in Jidong Cement Plant and formally put into operation in 1998. Jidong Cement has witnessed the development of China's cement industry. In May
1994, Tangshan Jidong Cement Co., Ltd. was established by means of directional fund-raising, and the sponsor was Hebei Jidong Cement (Group) Company. In June 1996, the company was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. In September 1996, Hebei Jidong Cement Group Co., Ltd., a wholly state-owned company established on the basis of Hebei Jidong Cement (Group) Company with the approval of Hebei Provincial People's Government and in accordance with the modern enterprise system, was established. When
Zhang Zengguang was appointed as the main responsible person of the company, the enterprise was faced with internal and external pressures: first, the Asian financial crisis forced the export business to be completely interrupted, the proportion of the domestic market was small, and the cement industry had structural overcapacity and disorderly market competition; second, the second-line investment of the headquarters was large, and the cost was high. At the same time, the price of cement has dropped sharply, and the profit margin of products has been greatly reduced.
Faced with the increasingly fierce competition and changes in the business environment, Zhang Zengguang led the company to withstand the impact of the financial crisis by strengthening marketing, so that the group's various undertakings have made considerable progress, and the economic indicators have been in the forefront of the same industry in China. Over the past eight years, the company's total assets have increased from 2.26 billion yuan to 6.3 billion yuan, its annual cement production capacity has increased from 2 million tons to 20 million tons, its total profit has remained above 100 million yuan for five consecutive years, and its profits and taxes have reached 380 million yuan in 2004. Under his leadership and the unremitting efforts of Jidong people, "Dunshi" brand cement re-entered the international market, exporting 80,000 tons of cement in 2003 and 560,000 tons in 2004, earning 18 million US dollars in foreign exchange.
Since 2000, the company has accelerated the implementation of the three development strategies of "one body, two wings", "three north" and "Olympic Games", strengthened the large enterprise groups in the leading position in the regional market, realized the preservation and appreciation of state-owned assets, and rapidly improved the profitability of state-owned assets. In 2006, Jidong Cement was listed as one of the 12 large-scale cement enterprise groups supported by the state. At the beginning of the
Tenth Five-Year Plan, facing the competitive pressure of international and domestic industrial capital and financial capital, Jidong Cement, on the one hand, stepped up its internal reform and restructuring, and was ready to develop. On the other hand, aiming at the policy environment of national cement macro-control and the historical opportunity of the rise of the Bohai Economic Circle, the development of Northwest China and the revitalization of Northeast China, the "Three North" development strategy of "consolidating North China, advancing into Northeast China and developing Northwest China" has been chosen to occupy the "Three North" regional market in a timely and rapid manner and maintain the development scale and resource advantages.
In 2006, the company launched the "one first, two advances" development strategy of "cement plate regional leadership, equipment manufacturing, engineering construction plate to follow up the international advanced level". In 2009, facing the new situation under the influence of the international financial crisis, we sought new development opportunities and studied new development models. With the increasing trend of cement surplus in many regions of China, the company, in accordance with the requirements of scientific development, has further improved its enterprise strategy into a development strategy of "highlighting the main industry and related diversification", extending the industrial chain horizontally to cement engineering design, equipment R & D and manufacturing, cement engineering construction, cement production line maintenance, and vertically to concrete. At the same time, supporting the development of automobile transportation, dry powder, admixture, trade and other related industries. After 10 years of development, the company's various sectors are interrelated and self-contained, becoming a large comprehensive enterprise group with excellent industrial structure, good economic benefits, strong competitiveness and strong development potential.
How to evaluate such an enterprise manager? There are few records on the Internet, so the author has to get a glimpse of it through an interview with a reporter in the past year. "I interviewed some cadres and workers, and they all held a positive attitude towards him. Metaphorically speaking, he is a lion, and I think so." The article said, "He is a leading cadre of an enterprise who has neither a'back door 'nor a'backer' and has been strictly examined, promoted and appointed through democratic appraisal by the masses." Back in
2016
, Jinyu Group and Jidong Cement, which had just experienced industry-wide losses, were seeking to recover. Due to the sluggish performance of the cement industry as a whole, cement prices in North China have been running at a low level for a long time. After several rounds of negotiations and negotiations between the two cement giants in North China, BBMG Group and Jidong Cement, BBMG Group and Tangshan SASAC signed the Cooperation Framework Agreement in April of that year, and the two sides reached consensus on several major principles, and the strategic restructuring began. Through marketization, Jinyu Group acquired Jidong Development Group Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as "Jidong Development Group") and indirectly controlled Jidong Cement. On October 11 of
that year, Jidong Development Group completed the change of industrial and commercial registration, Jinyu Group became the controlling shareholder of Jidong Development Group, holding 55% of the shares of Jidong Development Group, and the implementation of equity restructuring was completed.
A few days later, Jidong Cement announced that the board of directors of the company had received the resignation report of Mr. Zhang Zengguang, the chairman of the board, and that he would not hold any position in the company after his resignation. At this point, Zhang Zengguang's half-life struggle in Jidong Cement came to an end.
Starting from grass-roots posts and exiting from enterprise restructuring, Zhang Zengguang witnessed the development and growth of Jidong Cement in half a lifetime, and also experienced the development process of China's cement industry. Although he has been out of the industry for several years, he is still a respected enterprise leader and an important guide in the cement industry.
