In the construction machinery industry, Changsha is not a place where many soldiers gather. However, it is a place of “all eventsâ€. With the hype of the media, the construction machinery companies here have also been accompanied by "light", especially the protagonists in those incidents have left a deep impression. From a general point of view, what are the outstanding aspects of Changsha's construction machinery enterprises? What kind of strength does Changsha's construction machinery industry have in the end? With these questions, the reporter conducted an in-depth interview in recent days.
Status and Advantages Changsha is one of the top ten industrial bases in China's construction machinery industry. In 2005, the sales revenue of the Changsha construction machinery industry exceeded 12 billion yuan. It is understood that in 2005, a total of 12 construction machinery industries in China had entered the Top 100 Machinery Industry Enterprises in China, of which China United Group, located in Changsha, ranked No. 30 with annual sales revenue of RMB 4.67 billion, and Sany Group ranked RMB 4.42 billion. 35 people. In this year, seven enterprises in China’s construction machinery industry have entered the top 50 in the world’s construction machinery industry, and China United and Sany are also among them.
There is a jargon, called third-rate companies hard-working, second-rate companies selling technology, first-class companies selling standards. Zoomlion was born on the basis of the Changsha Construction Machinery Research Institute of the Ministry of Construction. The Changsha Construction Machinery Research Institute is responsible for the formulation of national technical standards for construction machinery products. It has formulated 294 national standards for the industry.
According to incomplete statistics, Changsha's construction machinery industry currently has at least 400 national patents, including 163 in China United Group, 158 in Sany Group, and 28 in Shanhe Intelligence. A base with so many patented technologies is extremely rare in China's construction machinery industry.
In the past few years, Changsha construction machinery companies have invested heavily in building their own research institutes. In addition to Zoomlion, the Sany Heavy Industry Research Institute is also a national-level technology center, and the annual research and development cost is 100 million yuan. They also set up their own research branches in Japan, the United States, Germany, and other places, integrate and apply overseas high-precision technologies to their own products, and form a late-stage advantage by entering the market from a high starting point.
The strong talent advantage is the source of power for the rapid rise of Changsha construction machinery. There are now 3 postdoctoral workstations, 2 national technology centers, and 3 provincial technology centers. According to statistics, only 4 companies including China United, Sanyi, Jiangyan, and Shanhe Intelligent have access to specialist government grants and receive The number of young and middle-aged experts above the provincial or ministerial level has already exceeded 100, and more than 2,800 technicians have more than engineers.
Shanhe Intelligence is closely integrated with natural talents from the time of birth. Chairman and general manager He Qinghua is the chief professor and doctoral tutor of Central South University. More than 1,000 employees of the company, more than half of bachelor degree or above, there are more than 100 postdoctoral, doctoral and master degree holders.
Changsha construction machinery enterprises basically solved the bottleneck of their own development through the financing of listing. Zoomlion and Sany Heavy Industry were listed on the market in 2000 and 2004, respectively, and raised a large amount of development funds to enable the company to achieve extraordinary development. In 2005, China United Group achieved a sales income of 4.67 billion yuan and a profit of 510 million yuan. In the Top 100 Chinese Machinery Industry, according to sales revenue, China United Group and Sany Group are the 30th and 35th respectively.
Strength and Insufficiency With these favorable conditions, does Changsha Engineering Machinery have the power to challenge foreign and domestic large companies? According to industry insiders, as far as individual companies in the Changsha construction machinery industry are concerned, none of them have achieved a sufficiently large scale at present. The distribution of the entire industry is relatively scattered and the degree of concentration is not high, which can have a great impact on the regional economy and the industry. The "aircraft carrier" has not yet been formed.
Different from other domestic construction machinery industry bases, almost all other bases are centered on a large enterprise in the central city. Other public companies form supporting or service centers around core enterprises. The entire base has a cohesion and centripetal force. Do not see this cohesion and centripetal force, there is more competition between enterprises and enterprises, lack of cooperation, do not buy each other. At present, the government and industry are eager to see several key enterprises join hands to achieve sincere cooperation and cooperation, even if they form a benefit community through the form of mutual participation, in order to make full use of existing resources to enhance the overall situation. strength.
Nowadays, market competition is not merely a competition among enterprises, but is more manifested in the competition among industrial chains. Whoever has a perfect industrial chain will occupy the peak. The obvious disadvantage of the industrial chain of Changsha construction machinery compared with other regional industrial chains is that the supporting market is not well developed, the industrial chain is not pulled tightly, and the missing ring is serious.
