On April 10, Fan Tiejun, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of China Metallurgical News, and his party went to Sanbao Group Co., Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as "Sanbao Group") to meet with Sanbao Group Chairman Wang Guangwen, Vice Chairman Wang Xiaoqing and others on the situation of the steel industry and enterprise development planning. A cordial, enthusiastic and in-depth exchange discussion was held.

Wang Guangwen expressed his warm welcome to Fan Tiejun and his party for coming from afar, and introduced Sanbao Group's production capacity, product characteristics and company development plan. He said that Sanbao Group and China Metallurgical Newspaper are close partners. China Metallurgical Newspaper has played an important role in establishing Sanbao Group's brand image for many years, with timely publicity and adequate services. Sanbao Group was founded in 1999. Against the background of various favorable policies of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and with the care and support of party committees, governments and relevant departments at all levels, Sanbao Group has developed steadily. Last year, it was ranked among the "2023 Top 500 Chinese Enterprises" for the first time."Top 500 Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises" and "Top 500 Chinese Private Enterprises" for many years. It has won honors such as "National High-tech Enterprise","National Green Factory","National Iron and Steel Industry Advanced Collective","National Metallurgical Green Advanced Unit" and "China Well-known Trademark", contributing to regional economic development.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Sanbao Group has actively responded to the needs of national industrial development, closely focused on policy orientation, and adhered to green and low-carbon development; with deepening supply-side structural reforms as the main line, it has continuously implemented innovation-driven efforts to promote high-quality development of enterprises.

At present, China's economy is advancing rapidly on the road of high-quality development. Especially in terms of advanced manufacturing, the new energy automobile industry has entered a new stage of large-scale and rapid development. As a raw material producer for advanced manufacturing, Sanbao Group actively promotes new development. The development of the material industry and the transformation and upgrading of products.

The first is to promote equipment technological transformation and achieve product transformation and upgrading. In recent years, Sanbao Group has actively responded to the needs of national industrial development, closely focused on market demand, and accelerated the pace of technological upgrading and transformation of production line equipment. In terms of steelmaking, Sanbao Group introduced Italian all-intelligent Consti electric furnace green steelmaking equipment. The 1780 mm hot rolled Ute steel coil production line uses Japan's Toshiba Mitsubishi Electric transmission and control system. The smelting and rolling systems integrate the most advanced technology in the world today. Technology equipment. This production line is the first short-process special steel thick and heavy coil production line in China, focusing on meeting the urgent needs of high-strength and light-weight steel for new energy vehicles, high-strength and corrosion-resistant structural steel, new energy vehicle transmission motor steel, and new energy battery packaging steel. Demand, providing high-quality raw materials for the leap-forward development of China's new energy vehicle industry.

#The second is to lead industrial clusters and achieve leapfrog and leading development. In recent years, Sanbao Group has strengthened its leading role and formed the concept of integrating the three chains of "extending the industrial chain, building an ecological chain, and climbing the value chain", further optimizing the industrial structure, comprehensively improving the level of resource integration, technology sharing, and service sharing, and creating a new material (silicon steel) industry green park to lead the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries. The project has a planned land area of 560 acres and a planned total investment of 2.76 billion yuan. It is designed to design cold-rolled high-grade high-magnetic-induction silicon steel with an annual output of 1 million tons and high-strength and corrosion-resistant automotive steel plates with an annual output of 500,000 tons. The group adopts the method of commercial investment to introduce downstream deep processing enterprises of cold-rolled silicon steel into the park for development. The products are mainly used in new energy vehicles, power motors, wind power motors, rectifying inverters, power transformers and other fields, promoting new quality productivity for the country. Provide high-quality raw materials.

The third is to strengthen research and development capabilities and achieve major breakthroughs in corrosion-resistant steel. Sanbao Group took the initiative to undertake the transformation and implementation of national scientific research major and special industrial technologies. Through years of hard work, the group has vigorously developed new products and successfully developed steel for nuclear power and seawater corrosion resistant steel bars. The successful development of seawater-resistant steel bars has solved a major problem in China's improvement of the corrosiveness of steel bars in the construction of marine economic development projects, broken through the "bottleneck" of technological development, and made Sanbao Group the first in the country to have mass production of a full range of corrosion-resistant steel bars. The company has filled the technical gap in China's high-performance corrosion-resistant building steel. The advantage of corrosion-resistant steel bars is that their corrosion resistance is 2.43 times that of ordinary steel bars. The national construction design standards and use standards for corrosion-resistant steel bars were promulgated on March 1, 2023. Sanbao Group's products have been currently used in Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Station, Xiapu Support Project, Xiamen Huandong Times Project, Zhangzhou Merchants Port Kadakis Phase 5 Project, Guangxi Beihai Tieshan Port Project.

"Over the years, Sanbao Group has always established itself based on quality, treated others with integrity, and won the market with service. It has a good reputation inside and outside the industry. After more than 20 years of development, it has become a comprehensive modern steel leading enterprise with both short and short processes and advanced equipment at home and abroad." Wang Guangwen said.

Fan Tiejun thanked Sanbao Group for its trust and support to China Metallurgical Newspapers. He believes that Sanbao Group has a strong comprehensive advantage in the region and can calmly cope with the future market situation. He said that China's iron and steel industry has entered a period of deep adjustment, with four characteristics of reduction, adjustment, promotion and opening up. Among them, reduction refers to the decline in production capacity, output, demand and the number of enterprises. Adjustment refers to structural adjustment, including product structure adjustment, industrial structure adjustment, energy structure, process structure, and some enterprises will change the track in the industrial structure adjustment. Promotion refers to the improvement of domestic concentration and foreign influence. In the future, the concentration of the whole industry, the concentration of regional market and the concentration of large categories of products will be improved. Opening up means that China is a reduced market and its superior production capacity will go out. Opening up also includes bringing in. General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed at the 10th anniversary meeting of Belt and Road Initiative to completely abolish the restrictions on foreign investment in the manufacturing industry. In the future, some middle and high-end manufacturing industries can enter China, which will contribute to the adjustment of product structure and meet the changing needs of the lower reaches.

Fan Tiejun believes that the future development pattern of the steel industry can be summarized in four "three-point worlds". First, the enterprise structure is "divided into three parts of the world". In the long run, by continuing to promote industry integration, Chinese steel companies will surely form a development pattern of "three-division" for pilot enterprises, professional enterprises and basic enterprises. The times have created pilot enterprises, with ultra-large scale as the main feature. In the future, there will be 10-15 enterprises with a scale of more than 30 million tons; industrial development has created specialized enterprises, with a high market share of major products as the main feature. In the future, there will be hundreds of enterprises with a national market share of more than 30% for major products; Cyclical investment has created basic homogeneous enterprises, with the same region and the same products as the main characteristics. In the future, such enterprises will be reduced to less than 100, mainly to meet the basic needs of the region.

The second is that the process pattern "divides the world into three parts". In the future, China will gradually form a new pattern of process structure in which traditional long processes, short processes of electric furnace, and low-carbon metallurgical processes "divide the world into three parts". Third, the energy pattern is "divided into three parts of the world". The steel industry is adjusting its energy structure and vigorously developing new energy sources in accordance with relevant requirements. In the future, it will gradually form a new energy use pattern in which primary energy, secondary energy, and new energy "divides the world". Fourth, the raw material pattern is "divided into three parts". The steel industry will gradually form a new pattern of raw material security in which domestic mines, imported mines and scrap steel are divided into three parts.

In terms of product development strategies, steel companies should strive to realize the transformation from focusing on the market to focusing on customers, from focusing on varieties to focusing on specifications, from differentiation to specialization, from classification to classification, and from quality to brand.

Fan Tiejun also suggested that steel companies should consider deploying diversified sectors in the new development stage, give full play to the advantages of steel companies in integrating resources, capital, and assets, and pay attention to upstream and downstream industrial chains, digital technology, green and low-carbon, logistics and transportation and other industrial fields.

Fan Tiejun finally said that China Metallurgical News, as one of the earliest institutions established in the industry, was personally inscribed and registered by beloved Premier Zhou in 1956. As an industry media, we will adhere to two principles in the future and give full play to our three major advantages to serve the theme of high-quality development of the steel industry. Adhere to positive reporting and comprehensive reporting, and lead the industry's high-quality development direction in positive reporting; adhere to comprehensive reporting, pay attention to the entire industry chain, the entire innovation chain, and the entire value chain, serve the construction of a modern industrial system, and enhance the competitiveness of the industrial chain; give full play to three major advantages:Traditional media has the advantages of focusing on the industry and reporting in depth. New media has the advantages of rapid response and visual impact. Integrate the advantages of open cooperation and three-dimensional collaboration of media, cooperate with newspapers, websites, WeChat, Weibo, public accounts of various mainstream platforms and other methods, coordinate various media that pay attention to the steel industry, and coordinate the views of experts and enterprises in the industry. Sanbao Group is a strategic partner of China Metallurgical News. The two parties will cooperate in all aspects such as brand promotion, special research, new technology applications, professional forums, and theme activities to demonstrate the vivid practice of high-quality development of the company and deeply explore the company's "transformation methods"., adjust structure, improve quality, and increase efficiency ", study the development trends and needs of downstream industries, and help enterprises steadily promote transformation and upgrading.

During the exchange and discussion, Fan Tiejun and his party visited Sanbao Group's 1780mm hot rolled special steel coil production line and learned about Sanbao Group's vivid practice of accelerating transformation and upgrading and achieving high-quality development.

Wu Changxi, Vice President of Production of Sanbao Group, Chu Fengdi, Vice President of Operations, Dong Guibo, Chief Engineering Engineer, some cadres and Chen Xiaoli, Assistant President of China Metallurgical News Agency and Director of the Economic Development Center, and Wang Zhi, Deputy Director of the Steel Department, attended the discussion and exchange.
