The "Securities Daily" reporter was informed that on the afternoon of March 3 1, Conch Group held a meeting of all middle-level and above cadres. He Chunkuan, deputy director of the Organization Department of Anhui Provincial Party Committee, read out the decision of the provincial party Committee on the appointment and dismissal of the principal responsible person of Conch Group: Wang Cheng, deputy secretary of Bengbu Municipal Committee and mayor, succeeded Gao Dengbang as the party secretary and chairman of Conch Group.
Insiders told the Securities Daily that Gao Dengbang's resignation was mainly due to his retirement age. "After Gao Dengbang left office, although he no longer participated in the leadership of Conch Group, he was still the president of China Cement Association and a member of the Standing Committee of Anhui Provincial People's Congress." The person familiar with the matter further stated.
Wang Cheng's resume shows that before he took office in New Conch Group, he served as deputy secretary of Bengbu Municipal Committee, mayor and party secretary of the municipal government. A person familiar with Wang Cheng told the Securities Daily reporter that "seriousness and persistence" was the deep impression left by Mayor Wang.
Market Competition and Harmonious Self-discipline
The steering styles of the two predecessors are different.
It is reported that the meeting on March 3 1 day lasted for about an hour, and the middle-level and above cadres of Conch Group participated. At the meeting, Gao Dengbang delivered a speech, thanking all the staff of Conch Group. Subsequently, Wang made a special speech on the achievement of "five major developments" and the construction of beautiful Anhui. Ren Yong, general manager of Conch Group, also made a speech on behalf of the management team members.
It is reported that Gao Dengbang stepped down as secretary of Wuhu Municipal Party Committee, director of the Standing Committee of Wuhu Municipal People's Congress and party secretary on June 20 15438+05, replacing Guo Wensan as party secretary and chairman of Conch Group. From 20 17 to now, the cement industry has developed vigorously for four years. Conch Group has also become a star enterprise in this industry, and its share price has soared, becoming a veritable "cement wool".
"Gao Dengbang's greatest contribution is to better protect the competitive ecology of the cement industry. Competition in competition and cooperation in cooperation. " The above-mentioned insiders pointed out that in recent years, the profits of the cement industry have been hitting record highs, reaching nearly 654.38+09 billion yuan in 2020.
"Securities Daily" reporter noted that during Gao Dengbang's helm of Conch Group, the market value of Conch Group also rose, from more than 60 billion yuan of 20 15+0 1 to more than 270 billion yuan at present.
"In the past, Conch Group was only a leading enterprise in the domestic cement industry, and now it has entered the world's top 500 and China 100, with great social influence." The above-mentioned insiders said.
Some cement industry analysts told the Securities Daily that when Guo Wensan took the helm, Conch Group advocated pure market competition. For example, there will be fierce competition in terms of cost and marketing strategy, especially in new markets. However, during Gao Dengbang's administration, Conch Group emphasized market tacit understanding and industry self-discipline more than other enterprises. The most typical case is the cooperation between Conch Group and China Building Materials in recent years.
"During Gao Dengbang's tenure, he changed the tense relationship between Conch Group and Southern Cement, a subsidiary of China Building Materials, which was purely competitive and fragmented, and guided the cement industry towards harmony and self-discipline. The similar cooperation of large enterprises in the industry has promoted the relaxation of competition in the cement market, pushed the overall price of the cement industry out of the bottom of 20 16 and ushered in a period of prosperity and development. This is inseparable from Gao Dengbang's political experience and overall situation. " The cement industry analyst commented.
Product transformation+cadre echelon construction
The new chairman faces two major tasks.
At present, Conch Group is in a critical period of transformation.
Conch's 2020 annual report shows that by the end of the reporting period, the annual production capacity of listed companies was 262 million tons of clinker, 369 million tons of cement, 58.3 million tons of aggregate and 4.2 million cubic meters of commercial concrete.
The aforementioned cement industry analysts believe that there is still room for improvement in aggregate production capacity of Conch, but commercial concrete is still in the exploration stage. "The cement industry is highly dependent on the construction industry. With the further tightening of national real estate regulation and control, the real estate industry is facing downward pressure, which may adversely affect the cement market demand. The output value of commercial concrete is greater than that of cement market. Once the commercial concrete market is controlled, Conch will have stronger control over the downstream construction industry. In 20 17, the company began to test the commercial concrete market, but the production capacity is still relatively small, and Conch needs to accelerate the expansion of the commercial concrete market. "
In addition to the transformation of the main cement industry, Conch Group is also expanding new business areas. It is understood that Conch Group's business has been involved in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection, and it has world-leading technologies in garbage disposal, solid waste and hazardous waste disposal, waste heat utilization and equipment manufacturing. At present, it is accelerating to expand into new energy-saving chemical materials such as cement and concrete additives, as well as new energy fields such as photovoltaic, wind power generation and energy storage.
It is worth noting that the main leaders of Conch Group and Conch are generally older, and many people will face retirement after Wang Cheng takes up his new job. The 2020 annual report shows that the senior management team of Conch Group is mostly over 55 years old. For example, Ren Yong, general manager of Conch Group, is 58 years old; Wang Jianchao, deputy general manager, vice chairman and executive director of Conch Group, aged 57; Wang Pengfei, deputy general manager of Conch Group, aged 59; Wu Bin, general manager and executive director of Conch, aged 56; Ke Biqiu, deputy general manager of Conch, aged 58; Li, chief engineer of Conch Craft, is 59 years old.
In this regard, the above-mentioned insiders said: "Within five years, the main leaders of Conch Group and Conch will basically retire. These people are elders in the early days of the company's business. How to build an echelon of three generations of cadres in the future will be an urgent problem for new leaders. "
