This document refers to the Notice of Jiangsu Salt Administration Bureau on Publishing the List of Enterprises Suspected of Illegal Salt Business in Jiangsu Province.
On March 15, Jiangsu Salt Bureau issued a circular, and Zhongyan Shanghai and Tangshan Jampel Tang Salt Industry were listed as unqualified product enterprises, while Zhongyan Dongxing, Zhongyan Long Hao and Jiuda (Yingcheng) were listed as illegal salt industry companies.
Afterwards, Zhongyan Shanghai and other companies issued a statement saying that they all operated salt across regions in accordance with relevant regulations, and accused Jiangsu Salt Bureau of local protectionism. "In the name of food safety, sexual local protection is the truth."
Find the relevant operating data of Jiangsu Salt Industry Group. Through these data, we can get a glimpse of a monopoly and closed state-owned salt enterprise.
Su Yan Group's Shen Jing Salt Chemical Co., Ltd. was listed on June 5438+ 10 last year.
"The local salt administration let us put on record first, saying that the procedure is no problem, and then let us know the warehouse address. As a result, a few days later, they went to the warehouse to investigate and took away 1447 packets of edible salt. " Zhang Xiuzhong, deputy director of Jiangsu direct sales office of Yan Guang Blue Sky Salt Chemical Co., Ltd., Hubei Province, revealed the secret of the company.
According to the materials presented by Blue Sky in Hubei Province, on the evening of June 65438+1October 65438+July this year, a warehouse in Taicang, Suzhou was pried open by Taicang Salt Administration and local police, and 28.94 tons of edible salt was taken away, and samples were taken in advance for evidence registration.
Taicang Salt Administration Bureau issued the Notice of Salt Law Enforcement on the spot, on the grounds that it violated Article 16 of the Regulations on the Administration of Iodized Salt to Eliminate the Harm of Iodine Deficiency, that is, the iodized salt sold in iodine-deficient areas must reach the specified iodine content.
The inspection report of Hubei Salt Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Station provided by Lantian, Hubei Province shows that the iodine content of its salt products is within the acceptable range. "Our iodine content standard is 18-33mg/kg, and there is a qualified inspection report."
On March 14 this year, Taicang Salt Administration Bureau seized 28 packages (20kg/ package) of refined iodized salt in Lantian, Hubei Province again on the grounds of violating Article 14 of the Measures for Salt Monopoly.
This regulation means that "salt retail units should buy salt from local enterprises that have obtained salt wholesale licenses". However, Zhang Xiuzhong said that this reason of Taicang Administration was not established. According to the salt reform document, retail units and users can buy salt from qualified enterprises in other places, so the word "local" is not applicable and local salt wholesale licenses have been obtained.
Zhang Xiuzhong told Company Secret that by the end of March, Hubei Lantian had seized nearly 500 tons of edible salt in Jiangsu Province and seized hundreds of pieces. "The seized salt has not been fully returned, and the economic loss has reached more than 2 million."
"According to incomplete statistics, after New Year's Day this year, our company was detained 72 times in cities and counties in Jiangsu Province, about 700 tons." On April 5th, Wang Maokui, deputy general manager of China National Salt Dongxing Marketing Corporation, revealed the secret to the company.
Company Secret According to public reports and relevant statistical data provided by enterprises involved, more than 8 provinces including Jiangsu, Hubei, Guizhou and Henan have seized foreign salt since June 1. * * * Eight salt companies, such as Zhongyan Shanghai Company, Zhongyan Dongxing Company and Chongqing Salt Industry Group, were detained by local salt industry departments for more than 2,000 tons of goods, and some salt companies were seized hundreds of times.
According to a number of salt enterprises, they encountered the situation that warehouses were seized by prying doors and trucks were installed with locators. And the seizure places are different from the salt enterprise warehouse to the terminal retail point, and the seizure methods are first registered and preserved, and some are directly confiscated.
In the chain of salt enterprises being seized in different places, many directly affiliated enterprises of local salt administrations and even subsidiaries of central enterprises were detained by local salt administrations in the process of inter-provincial operation.
On March 13, Jiangsu Salt Administration Bureau issued the Notice on Publishing the List of Enterprises Suspected of Illegally Dealing in Salt in Jiangsu Province, pointing out that five enterprises, including Zhongyan Shanghai, Zhongyan Dongxing, Zhongyan Zi Rong Salt Chemical, Jiuda (Yingcheng) and Tangshan Jampel Tang Salt Industry, were accused of illegally dealing in salt in Jiangsu Province.
The document pointed out that the listed enterprises that deal in salt in violation of laws and regulations shall be ordered by the local salt administration to rectify for six months, and they can continue to engage in salt sales and business activities in Jiangsu Province after the expiration of the rectification period. According to the document, the issuer is Yuxiang Tong, director of Jiangsu Salt Bureau, who is also the chairman of Jiangsu Salt Industry Group Corporation.
Subsequently, four salt enterprises, including Zhongyan Shanghai, successively issued public statements, saying that the company's business activities were in compliance with the relevant provisions of the national salt reform. It was listed as an illegal business unit in the notice, which seriously violated the spirit of the State Council's salt industry system reform plan, and said that it would defend its rights through legal channels.
According to public reports and statistical data provided by enterprises involved, as of April 6, more than 1000 tons of salt from other provinces have been detained in Jiangsu Province, and most of them are still detained in the local salt industry management department.
The company secretly called the office of Jiangsu Salt Administration Bureau. Regarding the background and legitimacy of the "Notice", a person in charge of Wang Xing explained: "This is a guiding document within the provincial bureau, and the municipal bureau will impose administrative penalties according to illegal facts."
Regarding the frequent seizure of salt, the person in charge of Wang Xing said that after the salt industry reform, the frequency of suspected illegal business increased, and the Jiangsu Salt Administration and the public security department jointly carried out two special law enforcement. "This is to ensure the people's salt safety. Considering that every investigation in local cities and counties has a law enforcement basis. "
The company's secret points out that on April 10, Jiangsu Salt Administration Bureau issued a circular in official website, saying that in order to severely crack down on illegal activities such as manufacturing and selling fake salt and illegally selling salt, Jiangsu recently dispatched law enforcement officers 10000 person-times to inspect retail stores, farmers' markets, food processing enterprises and gathering units, and "investigated and dealt with a number of manufacturing and selling fake salt and illegally selling salt.
Jiangsu Salt Bureau is the main party in the "salt war". At present, salt administrations at all levels and salt companies at all levels generally adopt the management system of integrating government with enterprise.
Taking Jiangsu Province as an example, Jiangsu Salt Industry Group Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Salt Administration Bureau co-operate, separating government from enterprises, departments and functions.
Jiangsu Salt Administration Bureau is directly managed by the Jiangsu Provincial Government, and is responsible for salt management and law enforcement in the whole province. Jiangsu Salt Industry Group is a wholly state-owned company, and its main business includes salt franchise, commercial circulation, well and mine salt production and salt chemical production.
The policy for the formation of this system is 1996 to issue the Measures for Salt Monopoly.
According to this method, the wholesale license system is implemented for salt wholesale, and salt wholesale enterprises purchase salt according to the national plan and sell it within the prescribed scope. This also means that the edible salt in each province is basically completely monopolized by the salt enterprises in this province.
Last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission issued a joint consumption letter from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The period of 1 October 20 17,1to February 20 18, 12, 3 1 is set as the reform transition period, allowing designated salt production enterprises to operate independently across provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) as long as they hold.
On April 10, a report published by official website of Jiangsu Salt Bureau called the current situation "the blank period of market supervision and the vacuum period of laws and regulations".
Before the salt industry reform, Jiangsu Salt Industry Group monopolized the salt market in Jiangsu Province, "being the only salt wholesale business entity in Jiangsu Province; There is no salt competition in other provinces in Jiangsu Province, and the market share is 100%. "
According to the company's secret information, Jiangsu Salt Industry Group is one of the largest producers of crude salt in China. It does not produce sea salt, and has 7 large and medium-sized well salt mines. In 20 14, the crude salt output of Jiangsu salt industry was 6,462,700 tons.
Su Yan Group said in the bond issuance that the annual output of salt-making enterprises in China is less than 300,000 tons, and only the designated salt-making enterprises are profitable, and the whole industry is in a state of loss. The salt market share of China National Salt Industry Corporation, the industry leader, is only 16%, which is divided by provinces and has not formed a mature and unified market.
Combing the main business of Jiangsu salt industry, it is found that the company's main business includes salt, industrial salt, salt for two alkalis and salt chemical industry.
In the first three quarters of 20 15, the operating income of salt was12.82 million yuan, accounting for 46.43% of the sales, while the operating cost accounted for only 22.96%, accounting for 348 million yuan.
In the first three quarters of 20 15, the gross profit of Su Yan Group's salt business was 934 million yuan, and the corresponding gross profit rate reached 72.85%. In fact, the gross profit margin of salt has been above 70% in recent years.
Not only the operating income is high, the operating cost is low, but also the tax preference gives birth to a huge profit space for salt. According to the prospectus, after the reform and transformation of value-added tax on June 5438+1October 65438+1October 0, 2009, the value-added tax rate of edible salt is still 13%.
The marketization of salt was listed as a risk warning by Su Yan Group. Jiangsu Salt Industry said that both China salt industry and industrial salt industry are facing the trend of marketization in the future. If the company cannot continue to consolidate its existing industry position in the future development, it may face the risk of declining profitability.
At present, Su Yan Group has 65,438+00 holding subsidiaries, including Su Yan Chain Company, Huaihai Salt Chemical Company, Lianyungang Tai Su Real Estate Company, Jiangsu Jingyuan Hotel and Shen Jing Salt Chemical Company. , involving salt wholesale, refined salt processing, real estate, hotels and other industries.
Among them, Shen Jing Salt Chemical Co., Ltd. is the listed company with the best benefit, with a profit of nearly 100 million yuan from 20 14. Secondly, Jiangsu Salt Chain Company, which is mainly responsible for salt sales, also made a profit of 78 1.8 million yuan in 20 14 years. Jingyuan Hotel earned 2.86 million yuan from 20 14.
On the contrary, in 20 14 years, the subsidiary's salt loss in the new century was 654.38+35 million yuan; The loss of Huaihai salinization also exceeded 10 million yuan.
On the whole, in 20 14 years, the operating income of Su Yan group was 5.4 billion yuan, while the net profit in the same period was 58.76 million yuan, and the net interest rate was only 1.52%. Its 20 13 annual profit rate is as low as 0.07%.
The gross profit margin is over 70%, and it is in an absolute monopoly position in the market. Why is the overall net profit margin of Su Yan Group so low?
Su Yan Group said in the bond offering that this was mainly because "the overall operating profit rate of the company showed a sharp downward trend due to the decline in the price of salt chemical products in the new century".
By the end of 2065438+September 2005, Su Yan Group * * * had 5442 employees.
In its cash flow statement, the amount in the first three quarters of 2065438+2005 was 498 million yuan. According to this calculation, the average monthly salary of its employees is 1.0 1 ten thousand yuan.
In 20 14, the amount of "cash paid to employees and for employees" in the cash flow statement of Su Yan group was 7170,000 yuan. If 5442 people are still counted, the average monthly salary of employees is10.098 million yuan.
Around 20 15, a personnel earthquake occurred in Jiangsu salt industry system, and seven middle and high-level personnel were dismissed one after another.
2065438+February 2005, Wang Deshan, chairman of Jiangsu Salt Industry Group and former director of Jiangsu Salt Administration Bureau, was suspected of serious violation of discipline and law and was investigated by the organization.
