Profile
Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.
is currently the executive vice chairman of Jiangxi Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiujiang Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of Jiujiang General Chamber of Commerce, and chairman of Jiujiang Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce. Won the honors of Jiujiang City's outstanding builder of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the National Democratic National Construction Association's advanced individual in social services.
Ma Qingyou was born in Xinghua, Taizhou, Jiangsu. This 2100-year-old city is the intersection of land and water transportation. It has been evaluated by the world and blended with the charm of Wu, Chu, Yue and the wind of Jianghuai and the sea. After graduating from junior high school, Ma Qingyou began to board the ship. Following his parents' fishing subsidy, he has been dealing with the "boat" for a lifetime.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] My elder brother and my second brother, including my third brother, were planning to do ships at that time. At that time, the ships were all 15-ton ships. At that time, the ship was our home. I didn’t even reach the age of 20, and then I ran the boat on my own.
However, being at home is not an easy task. Although his mother is with him, Ma Qingyou opens his eyes every day to consider survival.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] At that time, I basically made about 4,000 yuan a year, sometimes 3,000, sometimes 5,000, depending on how well you perform. At the beginning, we still couldn't run well. First of all, the first priority was to pay off the debt every day.
After two years of fishing in the canal, in 1991, Ma Qingyou switched to Jiangdu, not far from his home, to transport yellow sand and gravel. In a few years, his ship has also been upgraded from a 15-ton cement ship to 60-ton, and he is also ignorant. Understanding of China has become a family and a career.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Steamship Co., Ltd.] I ran a 60-ton boat with my wife. It was from a 60-ton boat that I really started. I was truly in charge. After I was in charge, I ran for 3 years. It was replaced by the small iron ship of 100 tons,At that time, a 100-ton ship was so big that it cost 100,000 yuan.
After running a 100-ton ship for 3 years, Ma Qingyou accumulated more than 200,000 yuan. He pondered over and over again, and then continued to invest the money he earned to build a larger ship, starting from 1994 from the canal to the Yangtze River Run freight in.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] He ran a 700-ton ship and went to the Yangtze River, not in the canal. At that time, the ship was built with 700,000 yuan and owed 400,000 yuan in debt. After three years of running, it was basically able to be paid off.
Although it seems that running a boat is very profitable, in fact, the risks and difficulties are much greater than imagined.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] At that time, there were still risks, and they often took risks. Often faced with the kind of family breakdown. In fact, a lot of ships have sunk between Nantong and Shanghai over the years. We have seen a lot of them by ourselves, so we are also worried.
Although the freight business was good at the time, based on years of experience in running ships and a keen and unique vision, Ma Qingyou judged that there is not much room for future development, so he wanted to shift the business direction to safer and more profitable oil tanker transportation. However, this decision was not optimistic at the time.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] No one else agrees. He said, ah, you just forget it, now you don’t have debts, right? You earn one, it’s already very good, but we still invest money and turn it into a tanker, and then come out into a new field. . We always want to go further, go further.
Deliberation is still being questioned, can the role change be smooth sailing? How can Ma Qingyou turn his foresight into reality?
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] By 1997, I wanted to get a tanker, so I became a tanker. By the time I arrived in Jiujiang in 1998, I had been running for nearly two years, and the company had already had nearly 2 million cash in hand.
The year Ma Qingyou came to Jiujiang coincidentally, he began to look forward to his future with a net worth of nearly 2 million. He has always wanted to take root and start his own business. After visiting Wuhan, Yueyang and other places, he finally chose to land in Jiujiang, which is similar to his hometown.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] When I arrive in Jiujiang, I won’t sail.At that time, I was like someone acting as a broker. I started to do business and started anew. We were groping and learning all the time, one step up to the next.
Ma Qingyou lived close to the Jiujiang Oil Refinery at that time. As the only state-owned super large petrochemical enterprise in Jiangxi Province, Ma Qingyou took advantage of the uniqueness of the products and the convenience of transportation here, so he anchored in Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Company for finished products Oil transportation. However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and Ma Qingyou, who is unaccompanied in Jiujiang, is almost struggling.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] This is a very difficult and arduous process. In the beginning, people who didn't know you would definitely ignore you. Among them, there are also many times being deceived, that is, this person asks you to arrange for him to eat and drink all day long, and in the end he does not do business for you.
Ma Qingyou did not back down because of this. The difficulties inspired him to fight for strength. He pays more attention to all kinds of information and delves into his business. After two years of hard work, he quickly made his business vigorous and successful. Jiujiang has won a piece of its own world.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] By 1999, 2000, and 2001, its (fuel consumption) has been increasing every year, by 30%, or even 50%. It has to be transported when it rises, so we judge its demand, and the demand for ship transportation is getting higher and higher.
In 2003, the state-owned enterprise restructuring was fully rolled out. The mismanagement of Jiujiang Zhenxing Steamship Company, which Ma Qingyou was affiliated with, was also included in the scope of restructuring. After determining that the industry has potential to be tapped, Ma Qingyou acquired the state-owned enterprise. Changed its name to Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd. After the company's operation, Ma Qingyou has the confidence to cooperate with large companies.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] We are all following regional companies- Sinopec , CNPC , CNOOC , Sinochem , and we have signed permanent contracts.Both have signed long-term contracts. After signing, our schedule below is connected with their schedule.
From 2006 to 2009, the company entered a period of rapid development. The volume of ships increased at a rate of 2 ships per year. Up to now, the scale of Ma Qingyou Company has grown to have the transportation capacity of 4 ships by sea and 14 ships by inland rivers, with a total deadweight tonnage. Reaching 67,446 tons, the company has established itself as a leading enterprise in Jiangxi Province and a model enterprise in the industry. It is also a "top ten enterprise" in liquid cargo transportation in the Yangtze River Basin, with an annual turnover of more than 100 million yuan and annual taxes of more than 10 million yuan.
[Ma Qingyou, Chairman of Jiujiang Zhenxing Shipping Co., Ltd.] We are going step by step, without a big node. It can only be said that along the way, from a small boat to a big boat, a big boat to a big boat.
While the oil pipeline is continuously being constructed and put into operation, Ma Qingyou has obtained data: In 2014, at least 50 refined oil transportation companies in the Yangtze River Basin and inland rivers closed down, industry reshuffle, mergers, and elimination are in progress, and the demand for tanker capacity is slowing Slowly evaporate. As a member of this industry, Ma Qingyou will usher in another transition period.
[Reporter's comments] The huge wheel of history rolls forward day and night. In a rapidly developing China, so many enterprises and industries are like ships on the river, rising and falling, and changing. Whether it is Ma Qingyou who is engaged in oil transportation or Ma Qingyou who is engaged in chemical transportation, Ma Qingyou is always moving forward with a pragmatic spirit, always walking in the forefront of the times and looking at the best course.
