Chapter 220 Lin Qiangsheng's Ambition

Next, Qi Jinping and Lin Johnson discussed the establishment of a taxi company. +◆,

The country's previous management of the taxi industry was extensive. Taxi companies were placed under the bus system of the transportation department, and each place established its own taxi companies.

Now that Lin Johnson wants to invest in this industry on a large scale, his plan to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in this industry will inevitably lead to a big leap forward in the taxi industry.

There was no such experience in China before. There were companies of this size abroad, but far-reaching water could not quench the near thirst. Moreover, the taxi industry abroad began to develop since the early 20th century, with extremely rich experience accumulation and management methods were all adapted to the needs of others and were not suitable for developing countries like China.

"I suggest using the BJ Taxi Company as the team to form a car taxi joint-stock company. After considering it, it is better to set up a company of this form. Mr. Lin, how much capital do you plan to invest? How many shares do you own in the company?" Qi Jinping asked tentatively. This is also the way they thought of to cooperate. It is best not to let the investors put aside the country. Several people decided to ask whether Lin Johnson could operate in partnership with a Chinese company.

Lin Johnson had long anticipated that it would be impossible for him to do such a big deal in China alone. If the investment scale is small, it would be fine. Such a large-scale investment plan must be participated in in China. Sharing share management is also a plan he expected. Lin Johnson pondered: "I plan to invest 500 million US dollars and own 70% of the taxi company's shares. What do you think?"

Qi Jinping looked at the two colleagues who came with him. One was both the secretary of the General Office of the State Council and the other was both the elite of the State Council. Both were almost 30 years old and were extremely young cadres.

When they came, the three of them discussed that if they really invested such a large amount of funds into the taxi industry, it would be an opportunity for a major change and development in the domestic taxi industry. Now is the time when the domestic urgently needs foreign exchange. If foreign investors really intend to invest such a large amount of foreign exchange in, they should seize this opportunity.

Several people looked at each other. Another cadre, who was nearly 30 years old, did not answer Lin Johnson's question about shares, but asked: "How to allocate the decision-making power of a joint venture company? Can it be like the cooperation regulations of a car company? Where can I find the management personnel for such a large investment driver? What do you think about the company's development?"

Lin Johnson asked politely: "Who are you?"

The person who asked the question said seriously: "Hello Mr. Lin Qiangsheng. My name is Liu Jiaqiang!"

"This is Liu Jiaqiang, secretary of the Economic Research Office of the General Office of the State Council, and that is Zhou Zhengying's officer. They are both studying economic work!" Qi Jinping introduced to Lin Johnson.

Lin Qiangsheng greeted the two and said to Liu Jiaqiang: "The operating rights of the joint-stock company after the joint venture are managed by our experienced personnel who are familiar with the taxi industry. Of course, bj taxi companies or other experienced managers in the taxi industry will also give important tasks, but we must have the decision-making power! This is related to whether the company's future profitability can develop healthily. If we cannot give us the decision-making power, there is no need for us to invest at all!"

"We have started to solve the driver's problem. We have opened a car driving school, but now there is a small problem. The local transportation department does not give us students the opportunity to take the exam. After our car driving students have completed the study course, there is no place to get a driver's license. I hope the central government can solve it for us!"

"In terms of management, after the company is established, we will mainly adopt overseas recruitment and social recruitment methods, and strive to introduce advanced foreign management methods. For units like BJ Taxi Company, we will also retain some managers of the original unit!"

"I have great confidence in the company's development. According to the current population of the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, 10 taxis are needed per 100 people. The number of taxis in China now is too small to meet the needs of the people! Therefore, I think the investment of 500 million US dollars is not large. Moreover, tens of thousands of taxis did not pour into the city at once. I plan to gradually increase the number of taxis and slowly satisfy the market!"

Liu Jiaqiang listened and recorded that when they came, they discussed the issue of share ratio. According to the example of a car company, it is best to occupy half of the shares, but they also knew that it was more difficult. They accepted the gift of 60% to 50% of the shares of foreign investors, which was due to the fact that Lin Johnson wanted to invest a lot of foreign exchange.

Zhou Zhengying said: "We sign an intent agreement for these issues, and we have to go back and study them with the agreement. However, the company's shares issue must be approved by the superiors!"

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Then I would like to ask several people to convey my idea to the superiors. I hope that the new taxi company can be directly under the leadership of the State Council and do not want to go out for many tasks! For example, the current taxi industry is under the jurisdiction of the traffic management department, but vehicles and drivers are restricted by the public security organs. If we invest in this industry, the traffic management department and the public security organs will become our superior departments. Such a large-scale investment will inevitably lead to inestimable losses due to a small difference! I hope that the State Council can recover the management rights of the taxi industry and the company's annual inspection and operation rights in the future, so that I can ensure that the taxi company can develop better and faster!"

"Are you going to let the State Council directly manage the taxi industry?" Qi Jinping asked Lin Johnson in confusion.

Several people also looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise. His proposal surprised everyone. It had never happened before that the State Council took back the rights of a department because of the development of a company. Lin Qiangsheng's idea surprised them!

"Yes, I think such a large investment should be managed by the State Council, otherwise I am afraid that there will be more departments in the middle management and I will not be able to find someone who is really in charge of the matter!" Lin Johnson said seriously.

When Lin Johnson established the taxi company, the traffic management department and the public security organs would inevitably reach out to him. Instead of being passive in the future, it would be better to kick the mother-in-law on the head aside now!

Qi Jinping nodded and said, "I will respond to your proposal upwards. Don't worry, our government will definitely support good friends who contribute to the country like you!"

After five days of talk, Lin Johnson and Qi Jinping talked a lot about the company's development ideas and industry prospects, as well as discussing the proportion of shares held by both parties and the decision-making power of operating rights. The two parties reached a preliminary agreement in the midst of continuous compromise.

At present, the taxi industry is undergoing drastic changes around the world. The American taxi company drivers' association held various strikes to protest the taxi company's share money and a wide variety of management fees. Taxi companies were forced to make major concessions and major reforms, with the goal of reducing money and even canceling part-time money and improving driver treatment, and improving the service quality of the taxi industry, and establishing a new set of taxi industry management measures.

For example, the appointment-style service developed in the United States in the 1980s brought huge changes to the traditional taxi industry. The appointment-style taxi in New York is three times the number of ordinary taxi. These appointment-style taxi do not have to circle around the streets to look for work every day, but wait for customers to make appointments with him in a fixed location. This appointment method includes long appointments, short appointments, temporary appointments, and foreign taxi companies provide customers with many high-quality service measures. Customers experience more comfortable, more punctual, safer and more standardized taxi services. At the same time, taxi drivers can also get more salary and more rest time than ordinary taxi drivers. It can be said that it is a happy development model!

If we follow the history of our previous life, the domestic taxi industry would grow on a large scale in the early 1990s. By then, traffic management departments in various places would relax the right to run driving schools. Many investors with relationships and backgrounds entered this industry, making the originally orderly driving learning process suddenly become disorderly development. Automobile driving schools have developed into a strange industry, becoming a chaotic profit-seeking market.

Although the taxi industry has developed on a large scale, this development is an explosive and low-quality development model! The domestically introduced management methods that have been lagging behind and eliminated abroad. People have long abandoned the crushing survival model and changed to a way to provide customers with higher service quality. However, we are still using the most primitive methods and are enjoying it. In the end, the taxi industry has reached a desperate situation that cannot be changed by reforms, and taxi companies have become big monsters chasing profits!

Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng-President proposed to Qi Jinping and others that the taxi industry management rights should be taken back from the traffic management department and the public security organs. Let the joint venture taxi company directly belong to the subordinate agencies of the State Council. According to his idea, it is best to snatch the management rights of the annual driver's license inspection from the traffic management department and the public security organs. The company's own affairs should be managed by itself without asking others.

This is not impossible. Sinopec is an energy unit, but the two barrels of oil are not under the jurisdiction of the National Energy Administration!

They dominate the domestic bulk energy, and the National Energy Administration cannot even intervene. The reason is that the two barrels of oil belong to enterprises directly under the State Council, and the rights are greater than those of the Energy Administration. The Energy Administration naturally cannot manage two barrels of oil!

Since there are examples, Lin Johnson believes that it is possible to seize food from the hands of the two major departments. It is extremely possible to leave the joint venture taxi company out of the jurisdiction of the traffic management department and directly under the State Council, so that they will not have the opportunity to constrain the company in the future!

The traffic management department has always been a wealthy department. In the 1900s, it was not strong nor very rich. But since the mid-to-late 1980s, Lin Johnson felt that this department had never been poor!

If you want to run a car driving school, you have to pay for it. There are contract fees, annual fees, and various management fees. Each student has to pay a payment for the driver's license test, and it is very opaque. If you want to run a taxi company, you have to pay tribute to the traffic management department every year. The traffic management department is simply too rich!

The reason why there were so many chaos in the country's transportation, overload and drunk driving in the past life was that Lin Johnson felt that it was caused by the long-term inaction of the traffic management department. Why not do it is because they have always been wealthy units and there is no need to fight with crazy drivers.

Lin Johnson wanted the traffic management department to become a poor yamen in the poor department so that they could have the motivation to enforce the law and crack down on illegal activities such as overloading and drunk driving. Now Lin Johnson is cutting off one of his ways to make money and dig out the fat piece of the taxi industry from it! (To be continued...)
