Chapter 1820: The Current Situation of Pujiang Coking
Due to its proximity to the central urban area, the development of Chunjiang Chemical Industry Park is restricted. If you can't innovate technology, adopt new processes and develop new products, enterprises will soon be eliminated, so Pujiang City and Puhua Group have just started the construction of a new chemical park, trying to stabilize the existing production in the chemical park on the basis of building new projects in the new chemical park to win the future of the enterprise.
This decision should be said to be very necessary, guarding the Chunjiang Chemical Industry Zone these old equipment, old enterprises are not able to keep up with the world's technological frontier, in Jingshan to start a new stove, directly introduce advanced equipment and technology, the implementation of a more scientific management system, relying on the vast domestic market and huge demand, the new project in the chemical industry park is no problem to make profits, the biggest problem is that the construction investment is too large. This is also the reason why the city of Tianjiang Iron and Steel Industrial Park could not come up with much money at the beginning, there are too many projects in the city, including Jingshan Chemical Industry Zone, and the city has to come up with a large investment.
The projects in Jingshan Chemical Industry Park also have a characteristic, most of them are Sino-foreign joint venture projects, and several petrochemical giants such as BASF and Bayer have invested in the chemical park.
However, in Bao Feiyang's view, Pujiang City's determination to reform the old and make new changes in the Chunjiang Chemical Industry Zone is not enough, after the completion of the Jingshan Chemical Industry Zone, it took nearly 20 years for the Chunjiang Chemical Industry Park to realize the relocation of major enterprises, and during this period, several enterprises, including the coking plant, even launched new projects in the old plant.
To a certain extent, the enterprises in Chunjiang Chemical Industry Park continue to tap the potential of the original equipment and work hard to survive, which is not only to make full use of the value of the old equipment, but also to avoid a large number of layoffs and unemployment caused by the shutdown of equipment, and has made great contributions to social stability. In the Chunjiang Chemical Industry Zone, which has been continuously renovated for 20 years, as the older employees gradually retire and retire, the enterprises gradually shut down and diverted, which also avoids major fluctuations, which is a more prudent reform.
However, in Bao Feiyang's view, this is actually a waste of resources. If the chemical industry moves out of such a large area in the chemical industry zone in advance, then the land can be used to develop other industries, including real estate. It is necessary to know that Chunjiang Chemical Industry Zone is close to the outer ring of Pujiang City, only five kilometers away from Pujiang South Railway Station, Pujiang transportation hub, less than eight kilometers away from Chunhui Commercial Center in the north, the newly built Chunjiang University Town in the south, Chunjiang in the east, across the river from Huixun District, and Caohe Industrial Zone in the west, with unique development conditions. For this area, although the surrounding land prices have risen with the soaring housing prices in Pujiang City, the development of the area has almost stagnated, and if it is relocated as soon as possible, it may become another industrial highland, and even rely on Chunjiang University Town to form a golden riverside industrial belt.
On the other hand, for the employees of the enterprises in the Chunjiang Chemical Industry Zone, although the enterprises did not relocate immediately, they did not lose their jobs, and they did not have to go to Jingshan, more than 40 kilometers away, to work, which seems to be very good. But in fact, the business conditions of Chunjiang Chemical Industry Zone are not very good, except for a very small number of enterprises with a few unique products, mixed well, most of the enterprises are hovering on the verge of bankruptcy and bankruptcy, the products are not competitive, the enterprise personnel are bloated and floating, and they are completely eating the old book. Wages are also very low, and in the fast-growing Pujiang, the employees who remain in the company are quickly abandoned by the times and soaring housing prices, and although they are not unemployed, they have lost another possibility of a more active life.
For enterprises, although a part of the high-quality resources have been transferred to the new chemical zone, but because the old plant has not been completely abandoned, so the transfer is not complete, most of them enter the chemical zone through joint ventures, and in the joint venture, these enterprises usually do not have the leading power, and after the old plant is shut down, some enterprises have become pure investment companies, and they have not received much development.
For the local government, not only has the area lost the opportunity for development, but the environmental pollution caused by chemical companies has also had a negative impact on the development of the surrounding areas, and for Pujiang, where land resources are very valuable, it will even affect the overall industrial layout and development planning. The overall strength of Jianghang District is also among the best among several other districts except for Chundong New District, but when it comes to Jianghang District, many people think that Jianghang is a suburb, and Jianghang has never had its own commercial and cultural center, which has the influence of chemical industry zones.
Therefore, on the issue of treating the old Pujiang Iron and Steel Plant, Bao Feiyang has always insisted that it cannot be delayed, can not wait, and it is better to move late than early, and when the construction of Tianjiang Iron and Steel Park has just begun, it has begun to promote the closure of the old Pujiang Iron and Steel Plant, and it is expected that it will be completely relocated within two years and vacate all the plots. After the end of the World Exhibition, it will focus on the development of the exhibition economy, as well as business tourism and service industries, part of the old Pudong Iron and Steel Plant will be transformed into an exhibition area of the history of the steel industry, and part of the plant will be transformed into a creative industry studio. Business tourism and creative industry-based park, next to this park is the old town of Huixun District, the old city and its surroundings will be dominated by residential and business, this is the development plan of Huixun District for the surrounding plots of the steel plant, after the relocation of the old Pugang plant, Huixun District will form a business district with a certain height, plus tourism planning, as well as the planning of Tianjiang Industrial Belt, Huixun District will form a distinctive The development pattern is reasonable and balanced at the same time, and even if it merges with Chundong New Area in the future, the overall development will not be ignored. Twenty years later, although the land in the chemical zone has appreciated, many development opportunities are gone, not to mention that the land price in the surrounding areas is underestimated, which is more than worth the loss, and the value of the lost development opportunities is incalculable.
Of course, the situation of Chunjiang Chemical Industry Zone in Jianghang District is not the same as that of Pujiang Iron and Steel, although the scale of Pujiang Iron and Steel is not small, it also involves some surrounding enterprises, but the overall scale is still not comparable with Chunjiang Chemical Industry Zone, in addition to Pujiang Iron and Steel, the relocation of some other mechanical processing and steel trading enterprises is relatively easy, the relocation cost is controllable, and many equipment can also be sold to get a sum of money. Most of the chemical equipment in the chemical industry zone is not relocated, and once the pipelines and reactors are moved, they are basically unusable, even if they can barely be used, the cost is too high, and it is better to buy new ones.
In addition to the Pujiang Coking Plant, there are also Jianghang Chemical Plant, Pujiang Chlor-Alkali, Pujiang Rubber and other seven or eight, if the overall relocation, the involvement is too large, the cost is too high, which is also the reason why the city adopts a safe plan.
In Bao Feiyang's view, the use of a safe plan is not a problem, the main problem of Chunjiang Chemical Industry Park is that the implementation of the plan is not in place, not thorough, the existence of these chemical plants is not willing to withdraw from the historical stage, not only continue to maintain the existing equipment and devices, and even put on new equipment and new production equipment, which is the case with the coking plant, the future will also merge with the Jianghang chemical plant, after the gradual withdrawal of the coking project, focus on the development of acetic anhydride project, has not been relocated.
Bao Feiyang stretched out his hand and flipped through the materials provided by Chen Qizhong: "What, have you taken a fancy to the Pujiang Coking Plant?"
Chen Qizhong nodded and said: "The financing plan of the Xinpu Iron and Steel project has been decomposed and implemented, but the capital is still relatively tight, and the coking plant also needs to be relocated.
Bao Feiyang looked at the information in his hand quickly, and said: "Have you contacted the coking plant? The benefits of the coking plant in recent years are average, there should be no money to invest, as for the Puhua Group, their current focus is on the construction of Jingshan Chemical Industry Zone, for the coal chemical project in the park, they have also fought with us, I am afraid they will not invest." ”
Chen Qizhong smiled and said: "Chunshan Iron and Steel used to be one of the main customers of the coking plant, but in recent years, it is more inclined to purchase coke from Ludong and Jinxi, especially the coke from Ludong, which is cheap and of good quality. If it weren't for a few joint ventures, life would have been even more difficult. ”
At present, the coking plant is also considering the development of coal-to-methanol, and has put into operation a 200,000-ton methanol project, and is planning and preparing to build a new 150,000-ton methanol and 72,000-ton olefin project, as well as a 40,000-ton phthalic anhydride project, some of which are actually duplicated with the planning of our park. ”
"I communicated with the coking plant and proposed that the coking plant could participate in the Xinpu Steel coking project and the coal chemical project in the park, but the feedback from the coking plant was not positive, as you just said, the coking plant is more inclined to develop in Jingshan Chemical Industry Zone, and they are also considering letting traditional coking products go out, that is, to invest in mainland provinces, and are not interested in investing in the park. ”
Bao Feiyang glanced at Chen Qizhong: "Then you mean that we still have to strive for the project and investment of the coking plant?"
Chen Qizhong nodded: "The coking plant is the most experienced company in the field of coking and coal chemical industry in Pujiang City, and they have a good accumulation in this area, especially the talents in coking and coal chemical industry, and the cooperation is very beneficial to both parties!"
