In December 2008, Tangshan Bohai Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Bohai Iron and Steelâ€) announced its establishment. This company was led by Tangshan Guofeng Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and integrated more than ten private steel enterprises around the Tangshan area. At that time, the restructuring plan was that after the completion of the joint restructuring, the existing production capacity of Bohai Steel's enterprises in Tangshan District was successively eliminated, and a new steel project was built in the saline-alkali beach in the seaside of Tangshan Fengnan Economic Development Zone, with a planned production capacity of 15 million. Ton. However, the joint restructuring of Bohai Steel has not yet been substantially promoted. In recent years, due to the “birth certificate†that has been waiting for the joint restructuring of “Bohai Steelâ€, Guofeng Steel’s production capacity has basically not expanded. It has been ranked second in Hebei Province from the capacity scale many years ago and relegated to the fourth place. “In the past few years, our production capacity has been around 8.5 million tons, but the capacity of the surrounding steel mills has increased year by year.†A middle-level of Guofeng Steel told the “First Financial Daily†reporter, “Next year we are in Hebei. In the province's steel scale ranking, it may have to retreat to the sixth place.†Baosteel and Wuhan Iron and Steel, which have been waiting for the “birth certificate†of the 10 million-ton steel project in Zhanjiang and Fangchenggang in recent years, face the same problem. Most of these new production capacity, which has been continuously launched in recent years, have not been formalized for approval and approval, but they have been able to share the market dividends first. This is precisely the paradox and paradox that China's steel industry is currently facing: on the one hand, it is difficult to approve large steel mill projects that meet the steel industry policy, while on the other hand, it is an increase in illegal new capacity projects, and it is still in a state of low profit or even loss for a long time. Steel companies are falling into a strange circle where the production capacity is getting more and more eliminated. After getting on the bus and buying tickets, " buy tickets after getting on the bus first", or even "getting on the car and not buying tickets", it has become a "secret" in the steel circle that almost no one knows. At the end of May this year, on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission, three steel project approvals were issued at one time, two of which were Baosteel Zhanjiang Iron and Steel Project and WISCO Fangchenggang Steel Project, and the other was Shougang Qiangang Project. Different from the approved projects of Baosteel and Wuhan Iron and Steel, the Shougang Qiangang project was completed and put into production as early as 2004, but it was only after 8 years that it got the “birth certificateâ€, which is a typical “buy ticket after getting on the train firstâ€. "Now there are more than 700 million tons of steel production capacity in the country. It is estimated that half of the various approvals are perfect. Due to the lax enforcement of policies in the past, many steel projects are the first to be followed, and then invest and then re-issue the 'birth certificate'." Insiders told this reporter. According to the reporter's understanding, as early as 2009, the Chinese government began to implement the control of the new project in principle within three years. In addition to the relocation of Shougang and the post-earthquake reconstruction project in Wenchuan, the past three years, including Baosteel Zhanjiang, WISCO Fangchenggang and other coastal steel base construction projects, as well as urban steel plant relocation and other layout adjustment projects have not been implemented. However, domestic steel production capacity is still rising year by year. According to the data of the Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, as of the end of 2011, China's crude steel production capacity has reached 900 million tons. Of the 357 million tons of capacity that has been constructed since 2005, 79% have not been approved by the state. According to the latest statistics of the Nishimoto Shinkansen, in 2011, China has 63 new blast furnaces. In 2012, it is expected to add at least 34 new blast furnaces. The new capacity for two years will exceed 100 million tons, while the new blast furnaces are mainly concentrated. In North China, especially in Tangshan, most of them are private enterprises. In the first half of this year, under the situation of weak demand and persistently low prices, domestic crude steel output is still not increasing. According to the latest statistics of China Steel Association, the national crude steel output in the first half of the year increased by 1.8% year-on-year. In the same period, the crude steel output of member companies decreased by 0.1% year-on-year, but the output of non-member enterprises increased by 12.9%, which means that this year The newly added crude steel production has come from non-member SMEs. “The key structural adjustment projects determined by the plan cannot be implemented, but leave room for the blindly expanded production capacity.†Li Zhongjuan, deputy director of the Industry Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, pointed out the dilemma of this steel layout adjustment. Without scientific argumentation, there are some problems in different aspects of scientific layout, product positioning, equipment, and process flow, which further increases the difficulty and cost of structural adjustment. "With the continuous expansion of steel production capacity behind the expansion of the top wind , The profitability of the steel industry is becoming less and less optimistic. Since the beginning of this year, steel prices have only slightly increased from mid-February to early April, and then turned down again. As of now, steel prices are at their lowest level this year. Then, under the situation that the relevant government agencies strictly control the expansion of production capacity and the whole industry is on the verge of loss, why are companies still willing to “top the wind†to expand new production capacity? In this regard, an insider of a private steel enterprise in Hebei told this reporter that nearly 80 enterprises that are currently included in the statistics of China Steel Association are mostly large and medium-sized iron and steel enterprises, and some small and medium-sized private enterprises still have production and operation due to their cost advantages. Can make a certain profit. However, the production scale of these enterprises is often small, and only by expanding the production line, it is possible to further reduce costs and make more money. In addition, compared with some large steel companies that are not allowed to approve new steel projects in principle, local small steel companies “Tiangao Emperor Yuan†are more likely to privately open new projects, because steel production is also the main source of local taxes. Source, the local government is also "singing one eye and closing one eye." Bao Zhengnan, the partner of the policy management consulting and vice president, told this reporter that another catalyst that is causing SMEs to continue to expand their production capacity is the elimination of backward production capacity that has been promoted in various places in recent years. At present, the country's standard for eliminating backwardness in the steel industry is mainly based on the blast furnace volume. The blast furnace of 300 cubic meters or less is initially stipulated, and the standard is then increased to 400 cubic meters. Many enterprises are worried about the elimination of backward standards in the future. After the elimination of small blast furnaces, they will often have the largest volume of blast furnaces. This will also lead to the “increase replacement†becoming “incremental replacementâ€, which will result in the elimination of production capacity. The more actual consequences. However, the insiders of the above-mentioned private steel enterprises in Hebei also pointed out that as the growth rate of steel demand is slowing down and the production capacity is still increasing, the days of steel enterprises are getting more and more difficult. At present, some enterprises are building blast furnaces at a speed of construction. Slowdown, some of the blast furnace capacity planned to start production in the second half of the year, especially in the fourth quarter, has been postponed until 2013.
