Various places are releasing semi-annual economic data reports one after another, and Guizhou is no exception.

Overall, the performance of Guizhou's "semi-annual report" is quite good, especially from January to May, industrial enterprises above designated size achieved a total profit of 34.087 billion yuan, an increase of 8.1% over the same period last year.

The economic situation is complex, and industrial profit growth is not just the growth of output value. This is worth taking a closer look at the moment when consumer confidence needs to be encouraged.

So, what has Guizhou experienced? What are the advantages? What other trends will there be in the future?

1 The "Phosphorus Capital of Asia" is in Guizhou

Let's look at the overall data first, and then look at the segmented indicators.

Guizhou’s provincial GDP in the first half of the year was 1,073.832 billion yuan, an increase of 5.3%. The added value of the primary industry was 114.057 billion yuan, an increase of 4.1%; the added value of the secondary industry was 410.003 billion yuan, an increase of 6.8%; the added value of the tertiary industry was 549.772 billion yuan, an increase of 4.5%.

In other words, Guizhou’s growth rate of 5.3% exceeds the national average growth rate of 5%, and the growth rate of the secondary industry is also relatively leading in the country.

Taking a closer look at the structure of Guizhou's secondary industry, we found that Guizhou has some very outstanding resource advantages, such as mining, as well as related chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing, non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling The processing industry and automobile manufacturing industry cannot be underestimated.

Let’s talk about mining resources:

Guizhou’s mining resources are mainly in four words: coal, phosphorus, aluminum and manganese.

Let’s talk about coal first. 74 of Guizhou’s 88 county-level administrative regions produce coal. Guizhou’s coal resources rank first in the south of the Yangtze River, and its reserves are the sum of the nine provinces and regions in the south of the Yangtze River..

Liupanshui is the main coal production area in Guizhou. It is known as the "Jiangnan Coal Sea". The coal reserves account for one-third of the province's coal reserves. In 2022, the coal power industry will account for Liupanshui. Industries above designated size in water city 82.89% of the added value, the coal power industry completed tax revenue of 8.697 billion yuan, accounting for 52.42% of the city's tax revenue. Does

remind you of some "rich" areas in the Middle East?

Let’s talk about phosphorus. The province that produces the most phosphorus-rich ores in the country is Guizhou. The “Phosphorus Capital of Asia” is Guizhou Fuquan. Fuquan has proven phosphate rock reserves of more than 1.1 billion tons and prospective reserves of 3 billion tons.

Third, let’s talk about bauxite, Guizhou is rich in bauxite resources, and its reserves rank third in the country.

Qingzhen City, Guiyang City has the richest bauxite resources. It currently has more than 1.1 billion tons of resource reserves, accounting for 10.5% of the national reserves and more than 60% of Guizhou's reserves.

The fourth is manganese. There are only 13 super-large manganese mines with reserves of more than 100 million tons in the world. In the Qiandong region of Guizhou, there are 4 , one of which is the largest manganese-rich deposit in Asia.

In Tongren Songtao, the current proven reserves of manganese ore are as high as more than 700 million tons, accounting for about 50% of the country's manganese ore resources. The proven recoverable reserves rank first in Asia, and it is a veritable "manganese capital".

Guizhou has these four "money printing machines". As long as the resources, technology, funds and channels are in place, banknotes will be printed continuously. This is called God's reward.

2 Guizhou is on the forefront.

The more complex the economy, the more precious the mining resources are. The more the period of economic transformation, especially the stage of the transformation of the automobile industry, the more Guizhou rides the wind and waves, and there are many opportunities. This is an objective fact.

So, what happened in Guizhou in the past six months or even a few years?

On January 24, 2024, the information disclosed in Guizhou Province’s “Government Work Report” showed that Guizhou has made every effort to build “six major industrial bases” and achieved initial results in building a modern industrial system.

Among them is the protagonist we are talking about today - mining resources.

One of the goals of building "six major industrial bases" set out in the "Government Work Report" is to vigorously build an important resource intensive processing base in the country. We will implement the requirement of "exploiting rich ores with precision" and implement a new round of strategic actions for mineral prospecting breakthroughs, adding a batch of new resource reserves of lithium ore, phosphate ore, bauxite and other resources. Did

do it? There really is.

Data for the first half of the year show that the added value of the mining industry increased by 6.7%, and the manufacturing industry increased by 8.6%. Among them, the chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry increased by 46.7%, and the non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry increased by 33%. .6%, automobile manufacturing industry An increase of 18.3%.

In terms of products, electrolytic aluminum output increased by 57.9% compared with the same period last year.

In other words, Guizhou’s secondary industry took off while sitting on the mines. On the one hand, Guizhou people worked hard to break into the market. On the other hand, China’s industrial situation has undergone major changes that are conducive to Guizhou’s development. Guizhou has just stood at the center of the trend. on .

New energy vehicles are developing rapidly in many important regions in China and even the world. What do the giants in the industry chain need?

The world's leading new energy innovation technology company CATL has taken a fancy to Guizhou's phosphate mines.

▲ Ningde Times (Guizhou) New Energy Power and Energy Storage Battery Manufacturing Base

In October 2023, Ningde Times (Guizhou) covers an area of ​​about 885 acres and has a total investment of about 7 billion yuan. New energy power and energy storage battery production and manufacturing base The first phase of the project was officially put into operation and has become a landmark project for Guizhou to develop the new energy battery and materials industry chain.

The robotic arms on each assembly line operate flexibly, and their automation rate reaches 95%. Within the cycle from material feeding to finished product output, it can produce one battery cell in one second and one battery pack in 2.5 minutes. The project plans to build a 60gwh power and energy storage battery production base and industrial supporting projects with an annual output. It will also support two types of products: lithium iron phosphate and ternary cathodes. The products of the Guizhou base will be supplied to European customers including Volkswagen and Peugeot.

"Building an important national resource intensive processing base" is not a joke, but needs market recognition.

How do Guizhou’s industrial profits come from? This is how it comes about. It not only needs to tap resources, but also turn the resources into high value-added products locally and sell them nationwide and around the world. At the same time, Guizhou has also gained tax revenue, employment and an increasingly perfect and iterative industrial system.

3 The population of Qingzhen rose against the trend

Guizhou’s bauxite resources also staged such a legendary story.

Qingzhen City, Guiyang City has the richest bauxite resources . It currently has more than 1.1 billion tons of resource reserves, accounting for 10.5% of the national reserves and more than 60% of Guizhou's reserves.

Because of the availability of bauxite and the reasonable and effective development of bauxite, the fate of Qingzhen City has been completely changed.

In the first half of the year, Guizhou’s electrolytic aluminum production increased by 57.9% compared with the same period last year.

Against the background of negative growth in the national permanent population, In 2023, Qingzhen will increase by 21,000 people, ranking third in the country among cities of the same level, second only to Anhui Changfeng and Jiangsu Kunshan, overwhelming Anhui Feixi and Zhejiang Yiwu .

Qingzhen is a typical representative of building a resource intensive processing base:

Qingzhen has formed a "one master, one special" industrial system dominated by aluminum and aluminum intensive processing and characterized by new materials, building a " direct supply of aluminum resources - - Aluminum alloy production - aluminum deep processing - recycled aluminum recycling " green recycling industry chain.

For example, you can see how the upstream and downstream of the Qingzhen aluminum industry chain are connected:

After the ladle truck filled with hot aluminum liquid left Guizhou Guizhou New Materials Co., Ltd., it was transported directly to Guizhou High Precision in the park. Plate, Strip and Foil Technology Co., Ltd., after the aluminum liquid is made into aluminum foil plates nearby, they are then shipped to Guizhou Jingfan Technology Co., Ltd. for use in the high-precision green CTP digital plate production line.

In addition to being sold to the province, aluminum rods and aluminum ingots are also shipped to nearby aluminum deep processing companies, where they are quickly transformed into various high-precision aluminum products to meet the needs of high-end fields such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, and electronic communications.

The entire Qingzhen is actually a vibrant industrial park.

Gui Aluminum New Materials Company’s annual output of 30,000 tons of ultra-thin and power battery aluminum foil projects is in full swing. The thickness of the finished product is micron-level, lower than the diameter of a human hair. The processing price of each ton of products is as high as several thousand yuan or even more. Ten thousand yuan, the order has been queued for several months, and most of the customers are from Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries.

So you can see that the economic data of Qingzhen Town is quite good:

In 2023, the regional GDP will be 31.75 billion yuan, an increase of 4.5%, and the general public budget revenue will be 1.895 billion yuan, an increase of 27.7%.

From January to June 2024, Qingzhen completed a total industrial output value of 16.728 billion yuan and an added value of 3.752 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.2%.

In a situation that is not easy for everyone, Guizhou people have handed over excellent report cards with GDP growth exceeding the national average and industrial profits soaring by 8.1% , which fully demonstrates that the importance of Guizhou's high-quality resources has been recognized more and more Entrepreneurs pay attention to it, and based on their own needs, they have gone to Guizhou to open new factories and new institutions. The refinement of these important resources and the extended industrial chain are taking Guizhou's secondary industry to a new level.

In an era of rapid technological advancement, Guizhou has entered the track with its resource advantages, integrated into the booming trend of emerging industries, and ushered in a future of growing industrial profits.
