Reform the spring breeze and warm the heart and hope that zinc will start a prairie fire

In 1986, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew into the poor Shangluo, which made the Shangluo people who had been ploughing food in the soil for generations realize the truth that "no work is not rich". In order to make full use of the local and even Shaanxi's rich mineral resources, after the investigation and repeated demonstration of provincial and municipal leaders and experts, Shangluo smelter in Shaanxi Province has set up a project to prepare for construction.

In 1987, Shaanxi Province heavy Hammer sounded the war drum for revitalizing Shangluo industry. People with lofty ideals and construction troops from all sides gathered in Shangluo. In the face of the reality that they had no capital, no technology, and three no talents, they poured their painstaking efforts and sweat into fighting against the severe cold in the extreme heat. They vowed to write romance for starting a business. Tong Xizheng, the first factory director, firmly believed that as long as there was determination and Guts, there would be no "flaming mountain" and no "flowing sand river" that could not be crossed. Research, project establishment, fund-raising, loans, running around, often covered in gray on sunny days and muddy feet on rainy days. Level the wasteland, move bricks and tiles, build factories, set up power lines, install equipment, wear the stars and the moon, and sleep in the wind. At the end of 1989, a non-ferrous smelting enterprise with an annual output of 8000 tons of electrolytic zinc and 12000 tons of sulfuric acid was built, which is located in Shangluo, an important town in southeast Shaanxi, filling in the gap in Shaanxi zinc smelting industry.

After three years of trial operation, zinc industry people have sorted out their ideas, and the reasons are: single product, backward technology, small scale, high cost, no own mine, limited source of raw materials, and extremely unreasonable capital structure. factory construction investment and liquidity are almost entirely dependent on bank loans, asset-liability ratio as high as 125%, bear huge interest, on the verge of bankruptcy, if you do not change the status quo, there is only a dead end. The spirit of the third Plenary session of the 14th CPC Central Committee and the 15th CPC National Congress have pointed out the direction for the reform and restructuring of enterprises.

In January 1992, when the Shangluo smelter was alive and dead, the Shangluo District Administration adjusted and strengthened the leadership of the Shangluo smelter, and Li Jingshu was appointed the fourth factory director. Through reform and innovation, enterprises pay close attention to internal management, strengthen labor discipline, carry out reform of labor and wage systems, and link output, indicators and wages. This orientation has instantly aroused strong repercussions throughout the factory, and the production enthusiasm of the workshop has been significantly improved. It produced 6000 tons of zinc ingots in 1992, 7200 tons of zinc ingots in 1993 and 8000 tons of zinc ingots in 1994.

Shortly after the Spring Festival in 1998, with the strong support of the Shaanxi provincial government and the former Shangluo area, seven shareholders jointly contributed 20 million yuan and registered and established Shaanxi Zinc Industry Co., Ltd. in Xi'an in December 1998. the Shangluo smelter was merged with zero assets. In January 1999, the Agreement on the merger of Shangluo smelter was signed. "one reform fire, boil four pots of water", after the merger, the enterprise name is Shangluo Zinc smelting Plant of Shaanxi Zinc Industry Co., Ltd., an enterprise facing survival crisis has thus moved towards the road of rebirth and will always be recorded in the annals of Shangluo industry. at that time, it was highly praised by the Shaanxi provincial government as a model for the reform and restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and from then on Shangluo smelter began a new era.

Adhere to the leadership of party building and unite the joint forces of development

The development of enterprises depends on cohesion, the formation of cohesion depends on the core, the formation of the core depends on party building, and the key to party building lies in the construction of leading groups and clean government. If the party building is prosperous, the enterprise is prosperous, and if the party building is strong, the enterprise is strong. The party committee of Shaanxi zinc industry always regards adhering to the leadership of the party and strengthening party building as the "root" and "soul" of the company, integrates the leadership of the party into all aspects of corporate governance, and fully implements the general requirements of party building in the new era. make clear the legal status of the party organization in the corporate governance structure, give full play to the leadership core and political core role of the party organization in the enterprise, focus on the overall development, focus on the main business and responsibility, and serve safety in production. We will promote reform and innovation, provide a strong organizational guarantee for the rapid and efficient development of enterprises, accelerate the modernization of the corporate governance system and governance capabilities under the guidance of party building, comprehensively clarify the boundaries of powers and responsibilities and performance procedures of the company's party committees, boards of directors, managers, and other governance subjects, and improve various rules of procedure, lists of procedures, and party committee pre-research and discussion systems. Implement the tenure system and contract management of managers. We will solidly carry out the construction of the "three systems" of decision-making, internal control and accountability, formulate a three-year action plan for reform and the 14th five-year Plan, deeply integrate party building with production and operation, promote the establishment of a modern enterprise system, and improve the corporate governance structure. We will make every effort to promote the overall, healthy and sustainable development of the company.

Overcoming difficulties and overcoming difficulties and drastic reforms

The future is bright and the road is tortuous. Although the enterprise has been restructured and upgraded many times, by 2002, the production capacity of Shaanxi zinc industry is only 30,000 tons of electric zinc. Due to the capacity expansion of the zinc industry, especially after the "9 / 11" incident, the zinc market seriously exceeds demand, enterprises have serious losses, shortage of funds, lack of supply of raw materials, poor product sales, difficulties, and the impact of debt disputes, enterprises were forced to stop production and have a holiday in July 2002, and there is a risk of bankruptcy at any time.

Every cloud has a silver lining. In the face of many difficulties, the zinc industry company actively adjusted its equity, coordinated the forces of all parties, and resolved the debt dispute as soon as possible. In January 2003, a new board of directors and a new leadership team of Shangluo Zinc smelter were elected. After the factory director he Xuebin took office, he took the pulse for consultation according to the actual situation of the enterprise. through drastic reforms, he put forward and implemented the overall strategic thinking of "removing bottlenecks, mending weaknesses, and seeking development", and carried out three major battles: eliminating bottlenecks, starting a war of annihilation of environmental governance, mending weaknesses, speeding up transformation and upgrading, seeking development, and carrying out a second persistent war of entrepreneurship. It has solved the difficult problems that the Shaanxi zinc industry has wanted to solve but not solved for many years, and has accomplished many great things that it wanted to do but failed to do in the past.

At the same time, we should conscientiously organize cadres and workers to analyze the market and the current situation of the enterprise, change their ideas, enhance their understanding, establish the consciousness of "overcoming difficulties and seeking survival and development," and properly do a good job in the stable work of the staff and workers, so that the broad masses of staff and workers can take the initiative to care for, support and participate in the enterprise reform. finally, in March 2003, a trial run was successful, the enterprise regained its vigor and vitality, and its operation level and social contribution were rapidly and substantially enhanced. The significant improvement of employees' sense of achievement and well-being has promoted the enterprise to enter a new stage of safe and green development.

In 2004, Shaanxi zinc industry joined Shaanxi Nonferrous Group and formulated a "three-step" development strategy: the first step is to stabilize the production, the process and the workforce; the second step is to achieve a production capacity of 30,000 tons through technological transformation; and the third step is to expand the production scale and realize scale operation. The development idea of "three steps" makes the development path of the enterprise clearer, and the enterprise enters the fast lane of high-speed development from now on, laying a solid foundation for the enterprise to enter the new stage of high-quality development.

In recent years, the reform and restructuring of Shaanxi zinc industry has been further strengthened, through the reduction of management levels, streamlined staffing, to achieve enterprise slimming, fitness and efficiency. Through the reduction of subsidiaries and the cancellation of third-tier and fourth-tier legal persons, the original eight second-and third-tier companies have been reduced to one. In accordance with the thinking of "flattening management, professional divestiture, large-scale integration, and functional promotion", we should actively promote the reform of government organs, and take measures such as the abolition of departmental levels, competition for posts, and the establishment of major departments of government departments. we will optimize the establishment and staffing of government organs and units, and establish a capable and efficient management structure. Eleven department-level departments have been abolished, all department-level institutions have been abolished, and the management level has been changed from three levels to two levels. Four auxiliary production departments are optimized and merged, and 15 workshops are merged into 7 large workshops. By means of optimized combination, reasonable establishment, withdrawal, merger, reform, transformation, etc., on the basis of the original staff of 2324, the total number of staff is reduced to less than 1940, the organizational structure is more optimized, and the joint force of high-quality development is agglomerated. Operational efficiency has been improved.
