April 1, 2006, April Fool's Day!

South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" suddenly revealed the news that two giants in the world's supermarket chain retail industry, French Careour and American Wal-Mart, intend to completely withdraw from the Korean retail market and will transfer all stores of the two companies in South Korea, which caused a stir in South Korea.

Great attention. This news has also attracted great attention from industry insiders around the world.

"Chosun Ilbo" can be said to be the oldest and largest circulation newspaper on the Korean Peninsula. It is also recognized as South Korea's most influential news media domestically and internationally. It can be called the mouthpiece of the South Korean government. Its reports still have

It must be authoritative, and hearsay information cannot be published on its pages. Therefore, this news cannot be an April Fool's Day joke, and the editors of Chosun Ilbo cannot be that carefree.

Careour and Wal-Mart are the two giants in the industry, and their globalization is also the best in the industry. It can be said that their business covers all countries around the world. As a member of the developed countries, South Korea has a small land area, but it is as high as

A population of 50 million is a large consumer market, and it can be said that it is a market that the two major companies attach great importance to. It is very surprising that the two giants are coming to Maicheng together.

And just in the evening of the same day, the Chosun Ilbo website, a subsidiary of Chosun Ilbo, revealed that South Korea's Shinsegae Group, Rakuten Group, e?land Company and China's Carrefour Group were negotiating with Careour Company and Wal-Mart.

, intends to acquire the assets of the two giants in South Korea. This news quickly caused a sensation in South Korea and China, and Carrefour Group immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

"This is in line with the old saying, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!" Su Aijun couldn't help but sigh. Careour and Wal-Mart both intended to acquire Carrefour Group at the beginning. I'm afraid they wouldn't have thought of anything at the time.

How many years have passed, and Carrefour Group has actually begun to acquire their overseas assets.

"Uncle Su, giving up on the Korean market is not a big deal for these two companies. It's just a matter of stopping the losses in time." Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Besides, I'm afraid they will still be there in the future.

A day of comeback. Moreover, the two major companies, New World Group, Rakuten Group, and e?land Company, all attach great importance to these stores. It is hard to say whether Carrefour Group will finally be able to eat them. "

"Haha, it doesn't matter whether it can be eaten or not. I'm afraid the officials of Shanghai Automobile Group Company and Donghai Province are having a huge headache at this time, right?" Su Aijun asked with a smile. He had already learned that Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company

There was talk of giving up the acquisition of Jiangning Automobile Group Company and investing in a new factory. Moreover, someone has already tried to get some information from him to determine whether Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company is serious about coming.

"I have given full authority to Xintong for such matters. I don't know the specific situation." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "We should put some pressure on them, otherwise. I'm afraid some people will think it's Qinchuan Samsung Motors."

The group company is begging them." It can be said that acquiring Jiangning Automobile Group Company and investing in building a new factory have their own pros and cons. If it is finally chosen to build a new factory, it is not entirely the case for Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company.

A bad thing. In his opinion, the worst thing is that the matter is delayed for a long time, which completely wastes precious time.

"Well, that's the truth." Su Aijun nodded with a smile. If a tiger doesn't show its fangs, some people will mistake it for a kitten. The Fang family is not the kind of family that likes to cause trouble, but now there is no need to deliberately keep a low profile.

.

"Are you behind the deal between Phoenix Group and BMW? Isn't Qinchuan Samsung Auto Group not interested in touching Japanese automobile company?" Su Aijun picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"How did you convince BMW to come forward?" Although there was no evidence, he had an intuition that BMW's coming forward must be related to Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan laughed and said: "You have wronged me. This was Xintong's idea, and I didn't do anything. As for why BMW Motors is selling this face. Haha, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has a new series of movies

It’s on the agenda, and if BMW wants to show its face, it’s that simple.”

Su Aijun shook his head helplessly and said: "Mingyuan, you are getting thicker and thicker. You can even say such things." Li Xintong and others, Yu Gong was Fang Mingyuan's assistant, and Yu Si was Fang Mingyuan's wife. They started to fight with her.

Is there any essential difference between Fang Mingyuan's actions?

"There is no way. This society has taught me that sometimes being thick-skinned is still very useful." Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and said, "Actually, they should be grateful to me for not letting them be taken advantage of and take away the people's blood and sweat.

The money was squandered. The original price was only 10 million pounds, but they pushed it to 90 million pounds! After BMW Motor Company intervened, Jiangning Automobile Group Company wanted to continue to increase the purchase price to compete with BMW Motor Company. It really was not its own money.

ah!"

"Alas!" Su Aijun couldn't help but sigh. He was really helpless about this problem. In recent years, Chinese companies have also begun to go abroad and acquire overseas companies. This is of course a good thing, but the facts teach

For Chinese people, overseas, each country has its own set of rules, and the domestic set is often not applicable at all. Moreover, most of the companies acquired with heavy sums of money are difficult to achieve profitability.

"Uncle Su, when you go to the capital this time, what opinions do you have on Tongyi's application to become a second-child pilot city?" Fang Mingyuan picked up the teapot and filled Su Aijun's cup, and asked with a smile.

"Do you have any opinions? Hehe, there is a lot of opposition." Su Aijun snorted coldly. Although there are many areas in China that have piloted second-child experiments, most of them are areas with low economic levels. Although Tongyi is an emerging city,

However, neither the current city size nor the future development prospects are comparable to those areas. Many people worry that allowing two children in Tongyi will bring trouble to the country's family planning work.

"However, it is not that no one agrees with it, such as people with military backgrounds. At present, no one can convince anyone, and no one can deny anyone, so things are stuck here, and it is difficult for leaders to make decisions.

Decision." Su Aijun said.

Fang Mingyuan nodded. This result did not surprise him. If it were so easy to let go of the second child, there would not be a result until his death in the previous life. And after many years of implementation, a benefit has been formed

Chain. It is not that simple to break its shackles, even if it is just a city like Tongyi.

"Tongyi's family planning work has been criticized by many people in the family planning department this time. They think that you are insincere and deliberately indulge the emergence of super births." Su Aijun pondered for a moment and said, "Although the one-vote ban is imposed on Tongyi

It’s not very applicable, but Lao Zhao also has to be careful.”

"Not sincere? Haha!" Fang Mingyuan sneered, "Where have the family planning fines gone in those cities that are sincere? When they collect social support fees, they don't give away a cent, but when they spend it, it's a bad debt.

Tongyi’s use of social support fees has a clear destination. The state sets social support fees to appropriately compensate the government’s investment in public social undertakings. It is not to support certain people. Besides,

, the social support fee is tens of thousands per penalty, and with the economic development, the lower limit is continuously raised, but the only child fee is five yuan a month, which remains unchanged forever. Ten years ago, five yuan was still money, but now it is no longer

It’s five yuan, it’s just a reward of sixty yuan a year, who are you humiliating?”

Su Aijun smiled bitterly. He knew that his words would definitely bring out a series of "complaints" from Fang Mingyuan. But he also understood that Fang Mingyuan was telling the truth. The money was indeed spent in a foolish manner. Most of it was not used according to the law.

On the right path.

"Mingyuan, the province is now planning to sell a group of provincial state-owned enterprise shares, are you interested?" Su Aijun decisively changed the subject.

"Have you finally made up your mind?" Fang Mingyuan said in surprise. Regarding this issue, in fact, before Su Aijun became governor, there were rumors in Qinxi Province, but due to the strong opposition, there has been no conclusion.

"It won't work if we don't make up our minds." Su Aijun shook his head and said, "Last year, most of these companies suffered losses, and half of them were close to being insolvent. The province's annual subsidies for them alone amounted to 2.6 billion to nearly 2.7 billion yuan.

, this does not include the implicit subsidies that provide them with access to low-interest loans and various preferential policies.”

Since Su Aijun has served as the second-in-command of Qinxi Province, he has a very clear understanding of the financial background of these families in Qinxi Province. Except for the branches of central enterprises such as petroleum and communications in Qinxi Province, the people of Qinxi Province

Among provincial enterprises, except for those with a certain monopoly position, the vast majority of provincial enterprises that compete in the market suffer losses and barely break even, and very few can make a profit. However, these enterprises enjoy the domestic

The best treatment.

According to Su Aijun's survey, in Qinxi Province, the average loan interest rate for small loans to small and medium-sized private enterprises is about 18% or more, and few larger private enterprises can get 15% or more.

Low loan interest rates mean that companies like the Fang family have large loan scales and good credit, so they are high-quality customers that major banks strive for. Long-term loan interest rates are generally between 6.0% and 6%.

Seven, while the interest rate of state-owned enterprises is a little more than 5% on average! Only for this reason, state-owned enterprises transfer the income of loan resource owners to state-owned enterprises by obtaining interest concessions below the market level.

Moreover, in the province, private enterprises have to buy land from the government to build factories. Compared with state-owned enterprises that can obtain low prices or even allocate land for free, the land price is often astronomical! Just on this land, the province loses money every year.

Astonishing land rent costs. The tax burden borne by private enterprises is much higher than that of state-owned enterprises.

Adding up these items, Qinxi Province spends an extremely considerable amount of money on these "adou" who cannot afford to support them every year.

Qinxi Province's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, but fiscal expenditures have also expanded rapidly. Especially after Su Aijun came to power, he planned to expand government fiscal expenditures in education, medical care, pensions and many other aspects. As a result, the provincial fiscal year last year

There is still a deficit, which makes Su Aijun feel constrained in promoting some policies, and even has to slow down his actions.

"Mingyuan, the current financial situation in the province is not optimistic. The financial situation of local governments in various places is even less optimistic. That is, the financial situation of Fengyuan, Tongyi, and Jinning is slightly better, and other cities have to deal with it.

Selling land is an important channel to supplement financial shortfalls. House prices in various places are rising to varying degrees, and the future you described is becoming reality step by step." Su Aijun sighed. As early as many years ago, Fang Mingyuan

He and Su Huandong mentioned that while the country's economy is developing, we must be wary of the rapid growth of housing prices!

Although Su Aijun has always paid attention to controlling land prices in various parts of the province, if the dependence of local finance on land sales revenue cannot be changed, then the rise in land prices is an inevitable result. Flour is expensive, how can the price of bread not increase! Everyone

Local governments cannot be like Tongyi City, where the government controls a large number of public rental housing, which is enough to have a strong impact on Tongyi's housing prices and rents.

At this time, these provincial state-owned enterprises still have to occupy a large amount of scarce funds, which is undoubtedly intolerable to Su Aijun. Selling these enterprises can solve the subsidy problem once and for all, and secondly, they can also obtain

A sum of money was needed to make up for the provincial fiscal deficit. Therefore, under his strong promotion, just a few days ago, the top leaders of Qinxi Province finally reached a decision to sell a number of state-owned enterprises to reduce financial pressure.

"Those provincial enterprises..." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment. To be honest, he doesn't like those enterprises now. At the beginning, the Qinxi Provincial Government listened to Fang Mingyuan's suggestion and moved them from the urban area to the suburbs, through land

A large amount of funds were obtained from the replacement, but these companies did not make good use of these funds to carry out technological transformation and open up the market. Now, it can be said that they need land, which is not valuable, and they need talents, and the talents have been lost.

Not to mention technology.

However, looking at Su Aijun's expectant eyes, he could not say anything. He knew that if the Fang family and allies did not participate, this auction of state-owned enterprises might become a feast for some people to carve up state-owned enterprises.
Chapter completed!
