Volume 11 Wanmu Shuangtian is in full bloom Section 26 Goals, Principles, Bottom Lines

"One goal I have determined is that state-owned enterprises must be reorganized and revitalized. Whether it is a shareholding system, merger, reorganization, or transfer, it must be changed. Bankruptcy is not the best choice, but if there is really no way out, we still have to go!" Lu Weimin determined the first tone.

Shang Quanzhi agrees that bankruptcy is not good for the municipal government to the local financial environment. The municipal government bears high guarantee debts. Bankruptcy means that the municipal government's finances will be involved, and banks will also suffer huge losses due to corporate bankruptcy, which will greatly deteriorate the financial environment and lead to a more conservative and cautious attitude towards local economic development in the future.

However, when there is no way to go, we can only take this path, and it is impossible for the company to continue to drag it on like this. This is also a principle that has been determined long ago.

Seeing Shang Quanzhi nodding in recognition, Lu Weimin felt a little relieved. Shang Quanzhi also saw that this battle was unavoidable, and he had to take this step out. Only with this determination can we face greater storms.

"The second principle is to do your best to ensure that the interests of employees are not damaged, or that they are not damaged by too much money. Even if the municipal government bears more debts and pays more compensation, it is not hesitant to do so."

What impressed Lu Weimin the most was the reform of state-owned enterprises that began in 1998 in his previous life. This round of reform was a turning point in China's economic development. If there was no great determination to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises at that time, the rapid economic development in the next ten years would be empty talk. It was precisely because of the reform of state-owned enterprises under tremendous pressure that China's economy has entered a socialist economic system with Chinese characteristics from a public ownership economy dominated by state-owned enterprises to a socialist economic system with Chinese characteristics as the main body, and also ushered in a golden period of rapid economic development in China.

But on the other hand, the acquisition of this golden period of rapid economic development is not without cost. Some Chinese companies have experienced cruel pain, especially the employees of state-owned enterprises have made considerable sacrifices. They dedicated their youth to the enterprises, but the enterprises fell down because they were not adapted to the market economy. They lost their right to labor and did not receive enough compensation for their early labor.

On the other hand, it is due to the incomplete legal system and lack of experience, or China is still in a period of slow transformation from the rule of man to the rule of law, which has caused a large number of state-owned assets to be lost in the reform of state-owned enterprises under the irregular operations of those who are interested or unintentional, which has triggered unprecedentedly fierce debates in the future. The debates such as Lang Xianping and Zhang Weiying also originated from this.

Lu Weimin's second principle made Shang Quanzhi think.

Although this principle is a principle, it is still a bit vague. In fact, Lu Weimin also revealed some of the meaning of how to ensure that the interests of employees are not damaged or too much damage.

There will definitely be many stakeholders who will suffer damage, which is inevitable.

In the cycle of enterprise collapse, as a state-owned enterprise investor, the government's interests are inevitably damaged. The Songzhou Municipal Government actually represents the collective interests of the 6.38 million people in Songzhou. The interests of the Songzhou Municipal Government were damaged, and it was actually distributed to the 6.38 million people in Songzhou. It was just that the ordinary people had only theoretical sovereignty over this benefit, and no substantial dominance, which made everyone ignore it.

Similarly, enterprise employees are also the damaged party. They will lose their right to work in this storm, which means they lose the right to obtain remuneration through their own labor. Then they should be compensated. Compensation is the basic social security and medical insurance provided by the government and part of the resignation compensation. The former is indispensable, but the latter requires the government to dig raw meat, so it is also the easiest to cause trouble in this area.

The idea that Lu Weimin revealed was undoubtedly that the government would rather bear more debts and bear more losses than to ensure that the damage to employees' interests was minimized. This idea is good, but the key is that can the municipal government bear this burden?

Shang Quanzhi will not comment on this for the time being, which needs to be determined based on the current financial situation and the specific situation during the reform of the enterprise. However, he agrees with Lu Weimin's concept, provided that the financial situation allows it.

Seeing that Shang Quanzhi showed deep thought, but did not nod and approve like the previous one, Lu Weimin also knew that Shang Quanzhi had reservations, which was normal. If he nodded and applauded, this was not Shang Quanzhi or the secretary of the municipal party committee.

"The third bottom line is to implement reforms in accordance with the law and regulations to ensure that state-owned assets are not lost. This sentence may sound absurd and ridiculous. It all says that state-owned enterprise reform is an unprecedented icebreaking move, especially the situation of every enterprise in every place is not consistent. From the central government to the local government, there are only guiding opinions on the reform of state-owned enterprises, but there are no real legal norms to adjust. How can we reform in accordance with the law and regulations?"

Lu Weimin's self-requestion also won Shang Quanzhi's nod, which was also what he was very curious about.

"What I mean by law and regulations means that in addition to the laws and regulations at the central and provincial levels, our city should also give full play to the role of the municipal people's congress, the power organization, and formulate local regulations suitable for the reform of state-owned enterprises in our Songzhou based on the actual situation of our Songzhou. This is the Local Organization Law and the power granted to us by the State Council of Songzhou, and it must be used well and fully."

Lu Weimin's words made Shang Quanzhi's eyes lit up. This guy's ideas were indeed broad. He actually thought of this and used this to avoid possible political risks.

Songzhou is a larger city determined by the State Council. The 1982 Local Organization Law also stipulates that the municipalities where the people's governments of provinces and autonomous regions are located and the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of a larger city approved by the State Council can formulate draft local regulations required by the city, submit them to the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of the Province and autonomous regions for review and formulation, and submit them to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and the State Council for filing. The municipalities where the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the people's governments of provinces and autonomous regions are located and the people's governments of larger cities approved by the State Council can also formulate regulations according to laws and administrative regulations of the State Council. These two provisions ensure that Songzhou can formulate relevant local laws or rules on the reform of state-owned enterprises in Songzhou, which can also ensure that if anyone wants to counterattack the reform of state-owned enterprises in Songzhou in the future, the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have sufficient legal basis to support it.

"Okay, you have thoughtful thoughts for the people. I am very satisfied. You are also very troublesome to come up with such a rough policy for the people in such a short time." Shang Quanzhi sighed, "I know this matter is very difficult and troublesome, but we cannot avoid it and have to do it. It is unlikely to be perfect. I just hope that this matter can be sat down and protect the interests of the vast majority of people and not be stung by future generations, and I am satisfied."

"Secretary Shang, this matter is really hard to say. I understand the saying that protects the interests of most people. People's desires are endless. They have this mentality. It is difficult for you to achieve everyone's satisfaction. My idea is to follow the law and regulations, be open and transparent, listen to the opinions of the majority of employee representatives as much as possible when formulating policies and regulations, and strive for more benefits for them without violating the policies."

Lu Weimin had no hope of not being scolded. To reform, it would touch people's interests. People's psychological expectations are often higher. How could they not be scolded?

Fortunately, these companies have already received a year of basic living expenses and received basic wages in the past two years, which has reduced their psychological expectations a lot. Otherwise, Lu Weimin would not dare to touch them.

You should know that this is more than 10,000 people. It is not the restructuring he had done in Futou. However, just a hundred people are considered a relatively large enterprise, more than 10,000 families, involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. There are 100 people, all kinds of people, and all kinds of interests are different, so it is inevitable to be scolded. He has long had this mentality.

After hearing what Lu Weimin said, Shang Quanzhi smiled bitterly.

Of course, he had psychological preparations in this regard, and even had psychological preparations to deal with one or two sieges of siege of the municipal party committee and government. Fortunately, in the past two years, it has become a routine for enterprise employees to siege the municipal party committee and government, and everyone has some experience.

Calmness, rationality, and patience, these three things have become magic weapons to win. As long as the situation does not intensify and does not evolve into smashing, looting and disrupting normal office order, everyone can be calmed down through conversations.

What's more, the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are worthy of these enterprises and have done everything they can. The enterprises are indeed unable to survive due to market reasons. As far as this point is now, everyone can only face it rationally.

"By the way, for the people, you are just talking about the general policy. Do you have no way to implement the specific implementation plan?"

Shang Quanzhi also knew that it was not easy for Lu Weimin. During this period, he was almost racing against time to investigate. The four textile companies spent two of him all day and four and a half days, and successively investigated some collective enterprises, focusing on textile companies. Even Duan Houbai was so tired that he fell down.

Two days ago, Shen Zilie said that Duan Houbai had always been in good health, but following Lu Weimin, the fat and thinner ones would have to be killed. Duan Houbai had been idle for two years, and now he suddenly followed Lu Weimin to discuss, visit, and investigate the enterprises with such high intensity and high frequency. In addition, the weather has changed drastically during this period, Duan Houbai was hospitalized for a severe cold.

Lu Weimin pondered for a while before saying, "I have a general direction, but it is not mature yet, and it needs a lot of improvement. The municipal party committee also needs to study and confirm that I tend to use Lushan Group to acquire these four companies as a whole, but this is just my personal idea and has not told anyone."
