Jinshan Lake exudes a cold glow under the cold winter moonlit night, get out of the car, stand on the asphalt embankment, can hear the sound of the surging lake water hitting the embankment, and seems to be able to faintly hear the rumbling sound of the flood when the embankment burst in the summer of '98. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Ke and Zhao Youlun were both witnesses of the embankment collapse of Jinshan Lake in 98, and the thrilling at that time was only afraid that it would not be erased in this life. Ordinary people are always forgetful, the monument is erected on the back of the embankment at the mouth of the embankment, and it has been used to being called the flood control square by the citizens, at night, the lights are bright, and some young men and women in the vicinity go to the square to talk about love, and they do not feel that the sky is cold.

The west bank of the Yuma River is the Jinshan factory of Xinguang Paper, after the acquisition of Chenxi Paper, the second phase of the project was expanded, along the west bank of the Yuma River is a long piece of factory area, the street lamps that stretch out slightly from the factory area are reflected in the river, like a string of bright pearl chains, making the night scene along the river in this section is very charming.

Looking at the street lamps on the other side of the Yinma River, Xu Xueping said with a smile: "It is clear at a glance whether the paper mill will secretly discharge sewage at night." ”

Liang Weifa smiled, these words can only be said to Zhang Ke at will, what he says to Zhao Youlun always pay attention to some proportions, think about the things that happened when Kumho first acquired Dawn Paper, it is really embarrassing. Only a little more than a year has passed, and the acquisition of state-owned assets by private and private enterprises has become a reality that is generally acceptable to everyone.

After the merger and acquisition of Dawn Paper, the provinces and cities were ruthlessly closed down the small paper mills along the river, which almost completely solved the pollution problem of the Yuma River, and the main problem at present is to prevent new pollution from industrial projects in the later stage.

Zhang Ke looked at the glittering water of the Yuma River under the light of the street lights in the distance, and said lightly: "Relying on the consciousness of the enterprise cannot be a long-term solution." Not counting the additional cost of using imported wood pulp to make paper, the sewage treatment cost of the paper mill accounts for about 3% of the total sales, and the pulping project will be carried out in the future, and the pulping link will also meet the standard of clean production, and the sewage treatment cost will account for 8-10% of the total sales. Without the constraints of the legal system, this market will always be a market where bad money drives out good money, of course, we still have a great advantage, and economies of scale are not just talk......"

Zhao Youlun said with a smile: "There are also people who ask me to come here to work in the paper mill, and it seems that the scale efficiency of the paper mill is quite considerable...... I sometimes wonder that Shin Kong Paper has not been able to monopolize the paper market, and the economies of scale in the form of large capital operations are really so magical? ”

"What about employee salaries? Labor cost expenditure and enterprise competitiveness is a very core issue," Zhang Ke also smiled, said, "European and American enterprises labor cost expenditure accounts for about 30-50% of the total cost expenditure, although the labor cost is high, but in technology and capital has an absolute advantage, competitiveness is still strong; In China, cheap labor is given to too many people as a magic weapon for enterprises to win the market, and the average labor cost of domestic enterprises accounts for only 6-10%, which does show a certain advantage in the market. Kumho is a pure Chinese enterprise, and what Kumho wants to do has actually puzzled us for a long time. In the past, it was very intuitive, and the more profitable, the more employee benefits, but fortunately, Kumho's profits have not been bad over the years, and the salary and benefits of employees are sloppy. In the past two years, I asked Kumho Economic Research Center to conduct an in-depth investigation of Kumho's member companies, and came to the conclusion that Kumho's member companies have increased the proportion of labor cost expenditure to 12-18%, and in terms of attracting talents, stimulating the enthusiasm of employees, strict management can make up for the losses caused by labor cost expenditure, and actually improve the competitiveness of member companies in the industry - this is in line with our actual experience. The tolerance of employees will be higher, and the benefits that can be created for the enterprise will be higher. ”

"Oh," Liang Weifa asked in surprise, "Does the Kumho Economic Research Center do research on this?" ”

"In the past, the company was small, and everyone just got together and patted their heads on what to decide; Not now, I feel that any small decision will affect the whole body, probably because of the small courage, pull the experts and professors out to the front, even if there is any decision-making error, there can be a rhetoric...... "Zhang Ke said with a smile.

"Alas!" Liang Weifa sighed lightly.

Xu Xueping complained next to him: "The researchers of the Kumho Economic Research Center are also experts and professors, and the province plans to introduce a minimum wage standard, and a group of experts and professors jumped out and said: The minimum wage standard is too high, which will affect the competitiveness of enterprises in our province, and will also affect the work of attracting investment...... I think these experts and professors don't know the smell of fireworks in the world, but how do they explain that they believe that dual-income families can barely live in the city with a monthly income of 600 yuan? You can lend us your research report. ”

"Uncle Xu and Governor Liang want to see it, of course I won't cherish the broom, but it's better to circulate it privately, this report will be too offensive if it comes out public; In addition, after all, the research is still on special individuals, and there is no representativeness. Zhang Ke begged for mercy and said, in some cases, the province is also clear, if the minimum wage standard can not let urban workers have the most basic living security, what is the point of formulating it? In order to solve the practical problems in the country, the secretary of the provincial party committee and the provincial governor together cannot cover the sky with one hand, and the solution to the problem can only be carried out in an orderly and gradual manner.

Zhang Ke played a slippery head, Xu Xueping smiled, but some questions pressed in his heart, which made him feel heavy, he pointed to the farther direction on the west bank of the Yinma River, where the street lights were still bright, and said: "There is a model community built there, and I have been there several times, but I am very ashamed and frightened, I am afraid that some people will stop me and ask me when they will be able to live like that......"

Zhang Ke touched his nose and did not speak.

Liang Weifa smiled, he was the initiator of the merger and acquisition of Dawn Paper, and he also knew the situation before and after the merger and acquisition of Dawn Paper.

The large shantytown west of Dawn Paper was almost completely destroyed in the summer flood of '98, and Kumho donated money to rebuild it, and rebuilt it to a very high standard, and rebuilt the paper mill staff housing area to the same high standard, forming a large modern residential community to the east of the paper mill in more than a year.

The central government came to inspect the post-disaster treatment situation in Jiangnan Province, which naturally became a model community, and won back a lot of political points for the province. The actual post-disaster relief situation is much more dire, and many farmers whose houses were destroyed by the floods only later received a few hundred yuan in subsidies and a few bags of cement.

After the merger and acquisition of Dawn Paper, the salary and benefits of employees have been greatly improved, much higher than the average level of Jinshan City, so that a job in the paper mill has even reached the level of asking Zhao Youlun.

Liang Weifa knew what Xu Xueping was afraid of, that is, he still had nearly ten years of political career, and he did not know that before he retired, he could raise the average living standard of Jiangnan Province to the same level as the ordinary employees of the paper mill at this time, Xu Xueping knew very well that he would definitely take a back seat before the third year, and before the third year, it was already a very difficult task for the province to basically eliminate the poor population.

Speaking of the competitiveness of enterprises, Liang Weifa, as the governor in charge of the economy, also has in-depth research and his own experience.

After the merger and acquisition of Dawn Paper, the raw materials are imported from abroad with high-priced and high-quality wood pulp; In the words of Zhang Ke, this part of the investment should account for 3% of sales, which is more consistent with the judgment of the Provincial Economic Research Institute; The level of employee salaries and benefits has increased significantly, nearly three times compared with the level before the merger.

All kinds of circumstances add up, the increase in the operating costs of paper mills seems to make the domestic similar paper industry unimaginable, but after the merger and acquisition, the actual profitability of the paper mill has not weakened at all, and the local tax has increased by a higher range than in previous years, Xinguang Paper has achieved annual sales of more than 7 billion yuan after the acquisition of Chenxi Paper Mill, and has successfully entered the top three enterprises in the domestic paper industry, and its actual competitiveness is far more than the domestic average.

After the development of Xinguang Paper to the current level, in addition to competing with other top domestic paper groups, it will face the threat of competition from overseas paper giants, China and the United States reached a bilateral agreement, a key step towards joining the WTO, and the domestic paper market will also be greatly opened to overseas paper giants.

The next step of competition in the paper industry is probably reflected in the scale of forest and paper integration, right?

The central government will not allow the entry of overseas paper giants to form additional pressure on the domestic environment and forestry resources, and overseas paper giants must take the road of forest and paper integration if they want to enter the Chinese market in a big way.

To alleviate the pressure on the environment, but also to produce medium and high-end paper products, wood pulp needs to be used as a raw material for papermaking; In order to avoid putting additional pressure on forestry resources, which have already touched the dangerous red line, it is necessary to either import large quantities of wood pulp from overseas, or to plant fast-harvest forests on a large scale and build a forest source base.

Large-scale imports of wood pulp have to endure the torment of high costs, coupled with the fact that other countries will gradually pay attention to the protection of forestry resources, will further increase the cost of imported wood pulp, and finally build their own forest source base is the real way out.

Liang Weifa thought so in his heart, and looked slightly sideways to the southwest, although the vision was not too far in the night, but he knew that the southwest hilly area of Jinshan had a large area of fast-growing forest belonging to Xinguang Forestry. Xinguang Forestry entered Jiangnan Province on a large scale a little later, but in Donghai Province, there are nearly 3 million acres of forest land in the growth cycle has entered the third and fourth years.

Liang Weifa knows that Mitsui's Prince Paper, Indonesia's Sinar Mas Paper and other international paper giants have clear intentions to invest in China, in the face of these eyeing paper giants, Shin Kong Paper in addition to having at least three to four years of time advantages in the integration of forest and paper, at least in the East China Sea, Jiangnan Province, Shin Kong Paper does not have to worry about the entry of other competitors, a large area of forest sources are monopolized by Shin Kong Paper's affiliated company Shin Kong Forestry, and the remaining space can not fill the stomach of overseas paper giants.

In addition to continuing to improve the forestry layout in Donghai and Jiangnan provinces, Xinguang Forestry has begun to penetrate into eastern Zhejiang, Henan, Hainan and other provinces and cities. Although the relationship between domestic forest rights is complex, it will take a long time to completely straighten it out, and without strong political support, large-scale afforestation actions in other provinces and cities cannot be carried out, but Xinguang Forestry is at least several steps ahead of those overseas paper giants who have not yet acted.

In '96, Kumho's desperate large-scale afforestation in the East China Sea was incomprehensible at the time, but it was only at this time that Kumho's foresight, especially the continuous rise in international wood pulp prices, made people feel that Kumho's strategy of integrating forest and paper in advance could not be more correct. As long as a large-scale pulp mill is built, Kumho can quickly complete the complete industrial layout of forest and paper integration, so as to surpass other domestic paper counterparts in one fell swoop, even in the face of competition from overseas paper giants, there is still ample room for maneuver, and it can even be said that it also has a competitive advantage in the face of overseas paper giants.

Although Kumho has drawn a pulp project cake in 96 years has not been seen so far, with the gradual liberalization of the paper market to foreign capital, the development and growth of Shin Kong Paper and Shin Kong Forestry has been sparing no effort in planting forests over the years, especially in recent years, the domestic wood pulp import volume has increased at a rate of 20% and 30% per year, and the price of imported wood pulp has soared sharply. And the investment in the pulp project is likely to be much higher than the initial estimate of six billion.

Theoretically, tons of pulp and tons of paper. Xinguang Paper's production capacity at this time exceeded 1.2 million tons, and the calculated production capacity reached 3 million tons within three years, if the wood pulp raw materials were completely self-sufficient, it would mean that the future pulp project would also reach 3 million tons, not to mention 20 billion yuan or 2.5 billion US dollars of super investment.

Two years ago, Kumho said that it would be a super project of 20 billion yuan, and everyone would pout and disdain; But to this day, no one dares to say that Kumho will not quietly spend 20 billion yuan on the pulping project.

When the pulping project is completed, Shin Kong Paper will gain a greater competitive advantage, right?

Liang Weifa sometimes wonders, why can't domestic companies learn from Kumho and think two more steps in advance? Cheap labor is an advantage, but there should always be some shame in your heart when you talk about it. People work hard to create performance for the enterprise, and even eating food is a problem at the end, thinking of those experts and professors who suggested that the minimum wage standard should be set at 300 yuan, Liang Weifa sighed in his heart, they hope that ordinary employees will always work hard and make selfless dedication to the enterprise to be competitive.

Speaking of which, there is still no economic confidence, and there are some things that the provincial governor says does not count, and the secretary of the provincial party committee does not count, the standard of living security for laid-off workers cannot be raised, and the minimum wage standard is not as high as artificially set, and economic development is the fundamental way to solve the problem.

The factory area on the west bank of the Yuma River stretches and is brilliantly lit, and the production line, as an industrialized monster, will not stop to rest at night; On the east coast, in addition to street lamps and landscape lights, industrial buildings are Liao Ruochenxing.

The impact of the Jinshan Lake embankment collapse was too bad, and the blow to the investment attraction work in the Jinshan area can almost be said to be devastating. Such an influential and appealing super-large project as a wafer factory is of great significance to Kingsoft.

Think about Xinting, after the Dongshan Island port construction project was launched, large-scale investment one after another, the price of industrial land rose from 97 years to 120,000 per mu in 99 years, in order to make the orderly development of Dongshan Lingang Industrial Zone, effective use of industrial land resources, the province will Lingang Industrial Zone more than 100 acres of project approval rights. The economic rise of Xinting is just around the corner, when will Jinshan, the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province's political, cultural and economic center, revive its economy? This question has always been a heavy burden on the minds of people in the provinces and cities.

After listening to Zhang Ke at Xu Xueping's house, Liang Weifa couldn't hold back, and Zhao Youlun instigated him to rush to the lake embankment on the cold night to talk on paper, Xu Xueping's interest was also very high, and it seemed that there was a modern large-scale factory standing in front of him.

If Liang Wei is allowed to develop their temperament, they can't wait to hold a press conference tonight and break ground tomorrow.

"The management of Sinochip Microchip has been working very hard during this time, and even if they are very hard, I will urge them to determine the problem of Jinshan as soon as possible," Zhang Ke said, "Once the agreement with Singapore is finalized, the specific framework will be determined, even if the project finalization of the wafer fab will be slower, the investment of Kewang Hi-Tech and Singapore Yuan will be mainly in the construction of standard factories in the early stage, and it will enter soon." If the provinces and cities still feel that the speed is not fast enough, I think Jinshan City can organize the construction of standard electronic factories first, and after completion, it is okay to sell or lease them to electronic companies......

The wafer factory is built as a high-standard dust-free workshop, not to mention the huge investment, the technical requirements are extremely high, Jinshan City is unable to do it on behalf of you, but the product assembly or ordinary electronic component production workshop is a standard workshop, Jinshan City can be built on a large scale first, the investment scale is not large, the key can greatly shorten the investor's factory construction time,

If there are ready-made factories that can be used, such as the assembly plants of Xinyuan and Kewang Hi-Tech, you can recruit employees for training on a large scale while introducing production lines; As long as the factory construction meets the standards and the fees are reasonable, investors will also find it very convenient and are more inclined to invest in Jinshan.
