Northern Anhui, which is rich in coal resources, has always been the hind leg of Anhui's economic development. To this end, Anhui decided to reconfigure resources through restructuring to incite the rapid economic development in northern Anhui.

A super coal carrier will be born in Anhui, a major coal province.

Our reporter recently learned from the Anhui provincial government that the three provincial mining groups in the province-Huaibei Mining (Group) Co., Ltd., Huainan Mining (Group) Co., Ltd. and Weibei Coal and Electricity Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huaibei Mining, Huainan Mining and Weibei Coal and Electricity) will be merged into a large coal group with a production capacity of over 1 100 million tons.

"This is consistent with the development strategy of our province." An Anhui provincial government official who knows the inside story told this reporter, "This is a good opportunity for Anhui."

According to an official of the Development and Reform Commission of Anhui Province, the reason why northern Anhui, which is rich in coal resources, has been holding back Anhui's economic development is because the coal resources in these places were basically in a state of disorderly development in the past, and they basically sold raw materials and only earned meager profits from raw materials.

Therefore, Anhui put forward the development slogan of changing a resource-rich province into a processing province, and decided to reconfigure resources through restructuring to incite the rapid economic development in northern Anhui.

Reorganization of the three major mining groups

According to an official familiar with the state-owned assets system of Anhui Province, the restructuring of the three major mining groups has been "discussed for two or three years" in Anhui Province because it is sensitive. "The opinions of enterprises are different from those of the province and controversial." The main reason is that these three mining groups have huge plates, and "a little carelessness will lead to big problems."

Huaibei Mining Group is located in Huaibei City, Anhui Province. Its predecessor was Huaibei Mining Bureau. Established in May 1958. By the end of 2005, the company had assets of 189 billion yuan and more than 90,000 employees.

Huainan Mining Group, formerly known as Huainan Mining Bureau, was transformed into a wholly state-owned company in May 1998, and was decentralized to Anhui Province in July/998, with total assets of19.9 billion yuan.

Coal and electricity in northern Anhui, located in Suzhou City, Anhui Province, should not be underestimated. According to public information, the group was established in May 1984, and now has 17 subsidiary and 6 branches, with total assets of/kloc-0.09 billion yuan, and owns Hengyuan Coal and Electricity Co., Ltd., the first coal stock in Anhui.

Among them, Huaibei Mining and Huainan Mining entered 520 national key enterprises; Northern Anhui coal and electricity is a key enterprise group in Anhui Province.

Because the three major groups have a place in Anhui coal industry and their plates are very large, Anhui Province pays enough attention to the largest enterprise reorganization case in Anhui Province.

"We are studying it and it is still in the brewing stage." A person in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Anhui Province said, "From the perspective of development, this is a means to make Anhui coal enterprises bigger and stronger."

One view is that the merger of the three major coal groups is more conducive to grasping the resources of this province from the overall situation.

"Now the three major groups are competing to launch coal chemical projects, but the funds are obviously tight." An expert with high hopes for restructuring said, "After restructuring, funds can be concentrated to do big things, such as deep processing of coal." At present, the three major mining groups have their own advantages in capital, talents and technology. Once reorganized, superior resources can be mutually adjusted, driving the coal industry in the province to develop in a better direction.

The reorganization among coal enterprises is also a main direction of the development of China's coal industry. According to the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" of the coal industry announced not long ago, the state will vigorously promote the integration and reorganization of large coal enterprises, that is, by the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", 6-8 million tons and 800- 10 5000/50 million tons of large coal enterprise groups will be formed, with coal output accounting for more than 50% of the country. This manuscript is edited by www.chemnet.com.cn of China Chemical Network. It is worth noting that the "Review of Planning and Development Work in 2006 and Key Work Ideas in 2007" recently issued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council also pointed out that this year, we will actively promote the strategic adjustment of the layout and structure of the state-owned economy and "improve the ability of coal production and utilization and resource regulation".

An Anhui provincial government official who is in favor of restructuring also said that the management efficiency of the three major mining groups is low and the governance structure is not perfect. After the reorganization, domestic and foreign strategic investors can be introduced to inject vitality into the enterprise.

However, another view is that once the three major mining groups are reorganized, it is easy to form a monopoly in the region, which will not only have a greater impact on coal prices, but also hinder the fair competition of various social entities.

Officials of the state-owned assets system in Anhui Province also revealed that the three groups themselves have different views on restructuring. "Because the strength is stronger, who is the main body? Who ate who? No one in the three companies is convinced. "

Not only that, at present, these three groups are pillar enterprises in Huaibei, Huainan and Suzhou respectively, and they are also local large profits and taxes. Among them, the annual tax paid by Huainan Mining Group alone is more than 654.38+0 billion. Huaibei mining and coal-fired power in northern Anhui are also above 500 million.

"After the reorganization, how to divide the tax?" An official of Huainan municipal government asked this question.

Inciting northern Anhui: from a resource-rich province to a resource-rich province

Although there are many statements, according to a senior official of the Anhui provincial government, "restructuring is the general trend."

Anhui is rich in coal resources, with a reserve of more than 25 billion tons, ranking fifth in China, with East China 1. It is worth noting that Anhui's coal resources are mainly concentrated in northern Anhui. Among them, Huaibei coal resources have proven reserves of 9 billion tons, of which coking coal, fat coal and lean coal account for 86% of the reserves, which are rare varieties that are protected and developed by the state; Huainan's proven coal reserves15.3 billion tons, accounting for 19% of the national coal reserves, 32% in East China, and the prospective coal reserves are 44.4 billion tons.

Although it is rich in resources, on the whole, the northern part of Anhui, covering six cities of Bengbu, Huainan, Huaibei, Fuyang, Suzhou and Bozhou, covers a total area of 32,600 square kilometers, accounting for a quarter of the province, but the per capita GDP, per capita fiscal revenue and per capita savings are only about 70% of the provincial average, and the gap is very obvious.

"If you live in northern Anhui, you will live in the world; If northern Anhui is strong, the whole province will be strong; With the rise of northern Anhui, Anhui can rise rapidly. " In 2006, at a symposium to revitalize the economy in northern Anhui, a senior official of the Anhui provincial government said that northern Anhui is an extremely important chessboard for Anhui's economic development. Accelerating the economic development in northern Anhui is related to the overall situation of reform, development and stability in the province.

While the reorganization of the three major mining groups is still in full swing, northern Anhui coal and electricity reorganized Huaihua Group, a municipal enterprise in Huainan, and vigorously developed the "coal chemical industry" project.

According to reports, the integration of coal and electricity in northern Anhui and Huaihua Group are only the first step in the strategic implementation of Anhui coal chemical base, and the integration of coal and electricity and coalification and salinization are also in full swing.

According to the information provided by the Development and Reform Commission of Anhui Province, at present, the integration of coalification and salinization, a major project in Anhui Province during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, has made breakthrough progress in Huaibei.

According to reports, the project will rely on the rich advantages of coking coal, limestone and rock salt resources in Anhui Province to promote in-depth development and extend the industrial chain. According to the investment plan, on the one hand, further expand the main coal industry; On the other hand, vigorously develop coal washing and processing, form a coal-coke-chemical-electricity industrial chain, use rock salt and limestone resources, vigorously develop salt chemical industry, produce PVC, promote resource transformation and appreciation, and finally build a national first-class coal coke-electricity base and salinization base.

"I hope that through these actions, we can remove the heart disease of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government (inciting the economy in northern Anhui)." A senior official of the Anhui provincial government said.

According to our reporter's understanding, this reorganization aimed at integrating the economic layout in the region not only happened in the coal industry, but also steel enterprises in Anhui Province, such as Maanshan Iron and Steel Group and Tongling Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., are planning to merge and reorganize a number of state-owned enterprises with similar industries.

"concentrate on doing big things." An official of the Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission said.
