I don’t think the things currently happening in Shangjiang are state secrets, because the reform of Shangjiang City is about to begin, and all policies and plans will be released soon. It doesn’t matter if I tell him in advance, if he can find it
Why not if there are some business opportunities? As long as it is under the conditions of fair competition.
Of course, for a company, seizing the first opportunity is often the biggest business opportunity. So I felt that I could give him some information, from which he could find business opportunities, and he could also give me some pointers, so why not?
Immediately, I told him the whole situation after I arrived in Shangjiang. I also talked about my current predicament and my doubts about the incident at the winery.
After listening, he nodded and said: "Shangjiang City is our province, and it is also considered a heavy industry base nationwide, but that is just their former glory. Now these enterprises have become a burden to the government and a stumbling block to economic development.
Therefore, it is imperative to reform it.
Secretary Chen's idea is correct and very feasible. In fact, this is the advantage of state-owned enterprises, because they have the protection of the government. Nowadays, these state-owned enterprises are like a sick baby in the mother's arms, with the mother's support like the government.
Care, it is inevitable that it will gradually become healthy. I am afraid that the mother does not know that her child is sick, or she knows that her child is sick but does not treat it for various reasons.
Our private enterprises are different. We need to work hard from the beginning and seek a way to survive in the fierce market competition. However, it is also very difficult for state-owned enterprises to reform. One is the problem of the system, and the other is the placement of workers.
Problem, these two points are more important than any other aspects. When the reform of state-owned enterprises reaches a certain level, the most critical thing is the separation of government and enterprises.
Once an enterprise breaks away from the protection of the government, it will be completely pushed into the competition of the market economy. Whether it survives or not depends on the true ability of the enterprise. As the level of my country's opening up to the outside world continues to improve, the competition in the market economy will also become more and more intense. The situation is becoming more and more intense. If an enterprise wants to survive, it must make changes and eliminate its own shortcomings in order to remain invincible.
This is actually called survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest. To be honest, as a private enterprise, we also particularly hope to reform state-owned enterprises, because in this way, everyone will be on the same starting line at the same time. We are facing the challenges of some projects.
Then you can get a chance to compete fairly.”
I nodded, "That's right. Can you explain this in detail?"
He immediately said: "The main problems currently facing the reform of state-owned enterprises are: first, the problem of extricating state-owned enterprises other than large and medium-sized state-owned industrial enterprises is outstanding and very difficult. The problem of extricating most state-owned enterprises has not been solved. Moreover, the resettlement of employees, technology
Falling behind and lack of funds are problems that cannot be ignored.
Second, the task of strategically adjusting the layout of the state-owned economy and reorganizing state-owned enterprises is still very heavy. On the one hand, there is inconsistent understanding, and some places dare not actively promote reforms. On the other hand, some state-owned enterprises have eroded state-owned assets during the reform, and there are
A situation in which state-owned enterprises contract for one round and state-owned assets are lost for another round.
Third, the real purpose is to carry out standardized corporate reform of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises. The real diversification of investment entities should be relatively dispersed and balanced equity, and should not be dominated by one company. Avoid one company having the final say in order to benefit
Government and enterprises are separated, shareholders restrict each other, and a more reasonable governance structure is formed.
Fourth, step up the exploration and establishment of an effective management system for state-owned assets. Change from unified state ownership and hierarchical management to hierarchical ownership and hierarchical management. This will not only help clarify property rights, but also help form the diversified investment entities required to develop a market economy and improve
Equity structure of state-owned enterprises.
The management of state-owned assets should implement the unified management of assets, people, and affairs. The government should have a specialized agency that is responsible for the management of state-owned assets and is responsible for maintaining and increasing the value of state-owned assets. The management of assets, management of people, and management of affairs should be unified, and there will no longer be multiple management.
Improve the three-level management form. From the local State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to the state-owned sauce operating agency and then to the enterprise, the separation of the investor's ultimate control of the enterprise and the enterprise as an independent legal person operating independently in accordance with the law and taking responsibility for its own profits and losses has been achieved.
Fifth, there is still a long way to go to transform government functions and realize the separation of government and enterprises. Government interference in enterprise production and operation activities occurs from time to time, and the situation of state-owned enterprises eating from the country's big pot still needs to be eliminated. Reform the approval economic system, promote the reform of the investment and financing system, break the administrative and departmental Monopoly. At present, my country's administrative and departmental monopolies are still quite serious, which is not conducive to the formation of a fair competitive market environment.
Sixth, this is a very important point, which is the issue of the construction of the social security system. Proper arrangements must be made for laid-off workers who appear after the reform of state-owned enterprises. The country cannot ignore the future survival of this group in order to get rid of the burden.
Seventh, we have discovered a phenomenon, that is, the dividends brought by the reform of state-owned enterprises have been retained within the enterprise, and the resources returned to the society are very few. Feng Xiao, have you noticed? Now after a natural disaster occurs somewhere in the country
, who donates the most money and materials? It’s the common people, it’s the private enterprises! Don’t you think there is a problem here?
So, in the final analysis, this is still a matter of state-owned enterprises always thinking that they are state-owned, and they always feel that they are superior to others. Feng Xiao, as you know, our Jiangnan Group devotes a lot of ourselves to charity every year, and I think this is what we should do.
Have some social responsibility.
But sometimes I can't help but wonder, why is this? We pay so much tax to the country every year, which is considered as our social responsibility. Look at those state-owned enterprises, they enjoy the welfare of the country.
They also occupy a priority position in the competition and don’t pay as much tax as we do. Why do we have to donate money and materials when the country is in difficulty? Do you know why the country now vigorously develops the private economy? This is because the country has recognized
At a certain point, the private economy is the main source of national tax revenue.
Haha! You see, our private enterprises are in such a neither embarrassing nor embarrassing position. Sometimes I feel ridiculous when I think about it!"
What he said is indeed true, but I think his words are a bit extreme, because our country is socialist in nature after all, so it is inevitable to favor state-owned enterprises in policy. In fact, I think he should think about this issue this way.
: If there was no reform and opening up, if the country did not introduce a series of policies to encourage the development of private enterprises, and if it still fully believed in all the dogmas of socialist ownership like North Korea currently does, would private enterprises still have the basis for their existence? Therefore, as a private enterprise,
Generally speaking, they should be grateful to the country for this kind of reform and change. Moreover, as far as ideological issues are concerned, this is a very complicated matter.
If we really want to realize complete and thorough free competition and really follow the laws of the market economy, we can only use a capitalist system. And for a country like ours that still has many problems, if it is once
If such a system is truly implemented, the consequences will be difficult to imagine and predict. In fact, I am not interested in the nature of the country, but I sincerely hope that the country can be stable.
National chaos, or even war, is only a stage that a very small number of people hope to have, but it will be a huge disaster for the common people. In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer. This sentence actually completely expresses it.
The sorrow of being a common people.
Peace and tranquility are the blessings of the common people, and the same is true for each of us in life.
Of course, I will not tell him these inner thoughts, because I know that he may not be able to accept it. As the chairman of Jiangnan Group, perhaps what he sees more is the competition between enterprises.
It's unfair. And this kind of injustice is real. Therefore, even if I say it, he will definitely not take it seriously.
But at this time, I was more concerned about another issue, "Uncle Lin, you are right. So, how do you think we should solve the problems you just mentioned?"
Yes, I am very concerned about this question at this time, because his answer is likely to be used by me in my research report, and maybe it can also give me some new ideas. After all, he is an entrepreneur, and
He is a private entrepreneur, and his wisdom and experience are all there. What's more, he looks at state-owned enterprises from the perspective of a private entrepreneur. This is called bystander clarity.
He said thoughtfully: "I think, first, all reform plans and measures must be conducive to the marketization, internationalization and humanization of state-owned enterprises. For most state-owned enterprises, the priority goal of reform is still to focus on the market
Transformation.
If state-owned enterprises lack market-oriented concepts and capabilities, then the good wishes of reform will be like castles in the air. In addition, state-owned enterprises should be guided by humanistic goals, respecting customers, shareholders and employees, and respecting various stakeholders to achieve benefit sharing and
Win-win career. Second, truly improve the access conditions for private enterprises in several important sectors, enhance the ability of private enterprises to obtain financing through financial system reform, reduce financing costs, and enable private enterprises and state-owned enterprises to operate on an equal footing."
I immediately asked him: "As for the entry of private enterprises, does this comply with relevant national policies?"
He smiled and said: "Of course. If it is not in line with national policy, why would I mention it? You must first think of two words when doing anything: feasible. For things that are not feasible at all, it is a waste of time to think too much about it. You
Say yes?"
I nodded, "You're right."
He continued: "The third is to adjust and optimize the layout and structure of the state-owned economy, further improve the development quality and efficiency of state-owned enterprises, and enhance the vitality and competitiveness of the state-owned economy. Implement large-scale reorganization of business sectors between enterprises and within enterprises, and form an industry
With the joint efforts of the chain, we can develop new business models.
The fourth is to improve the modern enterprise system. This is especially important in view of the current situation of state-owned enterprises. The so-called scientific management system is to straighten out the relationship between rent, taxation and profit of state-owned enterprises and formulate scientific rent collection standards.
, In addition, the scientific management system must also straighten out the incentive mechanism for state-owned enterprise executives.
The establishment of an effective incentive and restraint mechanism for senior managers of state-owned enterprises must be combined with the reform of the classification of state-owned enterprises and the establishment of a modern enterprise system. Except for a very small number of special enterprises that serve social policy goals and adopt a quasi-civil servant management method, the vast majority of state-owned enterprises must establish
Modern corporate enterprises motivate and constrain senior managers through the combined effects of standardized corporate governance structures, incentive multiple structure compensation systems, perfect market competition mechanisms and honor effects.
The fifth issue is the issue I mentioned earlier, which is to expand the channels for employee resettlement and safeguard the vital interests of employees. The employee resettlement work is directly related to the success of the restructuring, and is more related to the stability of the enterprise and society... Well,
That's all I can think of.
Of course, you in Shangjiang City have your own specific situation. What I am talking about is just a matter of principle. To be honest, if I had the status of a national civil servant, I would be willing to be the chairman of a large state-owned enterprise to ensure that I can manage the situation in the short term.
Revitalize the enterprise and turn losses into profits."
I smiled and said: "That's for sure. You are a very accomplished entrepreneur in our Jiangnan Province and even across the country, and your achievements are the best illustration of your ability."
But he shook his head and said: "Actually, there are still many capable people in your system. They need to be thoughtful and capable, but why can't they run an enterprise well? This is actually a common problem worldwide.
China cannot do it, the former Soviet Union cannot, and the Kuomintang actually has a large number of state-owned enterprises in mainland China and Taiwan. Their enterprises are actually the so-called bureaucratic capitalism in our textbooks, which are some of the things run by the Kuomintang authorities at that time.
State-owned enterprises, in addition to France and the United Kingdom, have also set up some state-owned enterprises, but they are not working well, so most of the current state-owned enterprises have been privatized. So, why is this? First of all, we must understand a concept, that is, state-owned enterprises. First of all,
is a business.
The bounden duty of enterprises is to continuously develop productivity to meet people's growing material needs. Even state-owned enterprises are no exception, otherwise they can only be called people's governments. The development of enterprises must not only come from their own consciousness, but also from those in the same industry.
Competition. In order to seek better development, companies can adopt a variety of strategies, including long-term and short-term. Short-term strategies can enable companies to obtain immediate benefits, but are not conducive to long-term development; long-term strategies can obtain substantial benefits.
, but you must pay now.
But whether it is a long-term decision or a short-term decision, there are risks! Because private enterprises can use their own property ownership as collateral, no matter what decisions they make, they are reasonable and inviolable. State-owned enterprises are different.
, because property rights are relatively vague, and benefits and risks cannot be shared. Therefore, no matter what kind of decision is made, there will be rumors, making the top leaders at the time in a dilemma. Therefore, more often than not, the bosses of state-owned enterprises only focus on short-term interests, which is more beneficial.
The performance of one's own performance can lead to better career opportunities. However, in this case, latecomers will often suffer miserably, resulting in the company not being able to make long-term progress.
Therefore, the failure of state-owned enterprises is caused by factors such as unclear property rights and workers' laziness and inefficiency. However, the inaction of the competent authorities of state-owned enterprises is the most fundamental reason. At the beginning of reform and opening up, state-owned enterprises could be replaced if they failed.
Managers and factory directors. Later, under the guidance of market economic theory, state-owned enterprises rarely changed managers and directors. As long as the performance was not good, they would be sold. Many good state-owned enterprises took a first look and thought that if they were doing well, they would rather be bad. If they were bad, they could be sold.
It can be sold at a low price, who wouldn’t do such a good thing?
As a result, it became common for good state-owned enterprises to become bad state-owned enterprises. All state-owned enterprises that competed in the market were basically sold out, which enriched a small number of people and harmed a large number of people. How many of the remaining monopoly state-owned enterprises have officials who were not bought or have backgrounds?
Therefore, if the cadre appointment system of state-owned enterprises is not truly changed, state-owned enterprises will fail sooner or later. Therefore, I think the real reason why state-owned enterprises fail is that they employ a group of officials who do nothing. Do you understand? What you use
The person in charge of a state-owned enterprise is an official, not an entrepreneur!"
I was silent for a moment, because what he said was indeed true. Today's relationships are so intertwined that nepotism is unavoidable. However, I felt that his words seemed to be contradictory, and then I asked: "Since you said that state-owned enterprises will always be destroyed.
,Then what is the use of what you said before?"
He said calmly: "What I'm saying is that if we employ the right people and use a series of measures to reform state-owned enterprises, there is still hope. Haier, for example, is a good example of state-owned enterprise reform.
But, can you Shangjiang City employ people properly?" (To be continued)
