According to an internal statistic obtained by a reporter of the "Economic Information Daily", in October, 77 key large and medium-sized iron and steel enterprises achieved an industrial output value of 271.28 billion yuan, a decrease of 348 million yuan from the previous period; and a sales income of 290.06 billion yuan, a decrease of 7.13% from the previous month. The realized profit was 1.375 billion yuan, which was a decrease of 6.52 billion yuan, a decrease of 82.59%. It is noteworthy that the loss of the steel industry is also expanding (The Economic Information Daily, December 5).

In fact, there is no doubt that the current domestic steel industry is faced with a loss situation, apparently with Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, the monopoly giant monopolized by the three major iron ore mines, the macroeconomic downturn, and the lack of high-tech content in domestic steel industry products. There is considerable correlation between the value and other factors of superposition. However, I believe that if the current domestic steel industry is facing a loss as a market "pain", then in a sense, this "pain" can also be said to be a pressure from the market, the key lies in the steel Whether the industry can be poor will change its thinking and accelerate the pace of its own transformation.

Because people who know a little about the domestic steel industry know that China is the largest importer of iron ore in the world and the largest steel producer and exporter. At the same time, due to the fact that China’s iron and steel products generally have low technological content, although it is a large steel producer and exporter at the same time, it is still not a strong steel producer, and at the same time that it is subject to high monopoly prices for iron ore, It also has a certain degree of dependence on the degree of global economic prosperity. It can even be said that the domestic steel industry is still to some extent "seeing to eat".

Under this precondition, for the domestic iron and steel industry, it is certainly not and should not be a way to get rid of and solve the current domestic steel industry's difficulties by complaining about others, waiting for the market to recover, or asking for help from the government. On the contrary, turning the current market's difficulties in the market into a driving force, aiming itself at market needs, finding a way out for the market, and then using production to meet market demand and having a certain technological content as a breakthrough in its own transformation, may be The best way out of the current predicament. Of course, this kind of transformation will not be easy or quick, but it will certainly be a difficult and even painful market journey. However, compared with waiting for the market to recover and seek protection, it is the best way and way out of the domestic steel industry to get rid of the current big but not strong.
