Chapter 256: Who is to blame? You? Can you afford it?
When the leader at the meeting heard these sarcastic remarks, he immediately said angrily: "Team Leader Pang, as a public official, you have been favoring a private enterprise CEO. Do you have national interests in your eyes? I seriously doubt that you are
It’s not about accepting his benefits!”
As soon as these words came out, all the participants were stunned. These words were a bit serious. Director Xiao, who was presiding over the meeting, frowned and said: "This is a serious issue. You can't talk nonsense without evidence."
Pound on the other side did not get angry because of this. He was on the same level as the angry leaders at the meeting. He also raised his voice and said unceremoniously: "If I have any suspicion of violating discipline, just let the disciplinary inspection team investigate. I am not
I am partial but I am really complaining about it. At the same time, I feel incredible about such ridiculous remarks. I am even more ridiculous about this stupid idea that misleads the country, the people, others and myself."
As he spoke, the face of the participant became more and more ugly, and Pound looked around at the crowd, then landed on Director Xiao, and then said: "Director Xiao, have you ever thought about how serious and bad this would be?
Impact? Oh, when you see a private enterprise or a high-tech enterprise, you covet it when you see the high profits, so you want to get permission to pick peaches. Is the next step going to be privatized and occupy the magpie's nest? What does this have to do with the shameless gangsters' open grabs?
the difference?"
Pang De immediately looked at the participant and asked: "Do you know that in the first half of this year among industrial enterprises above designated size, the profits of state-controlled enterprises increased by 35%, while the profits of private enterprises increased by only 12.7%. Since this year, there have been frequent plans to transfer equity in the market.
Listed companies, including 28 private listed companies, have been taken over by state-owned assets, and the market is already filled with an increasingly uneasy mood."
"Although Coastline Company has not been around for a long time, it is already the private enterprise with the largest assets, and everyone knows that if we really do this, what will be the reaction of thousands of other private entrepreneurs across the country? This
Wouldn't it make the so-called "national advancement and private retreat" argument even more popular? Wouldn't the already emotionally uneasy market fall into unprecedented panic? This would lead to heavy blows and losses to the national economy. Wouldn't it be a mistake for the country, the people, and others?
Who will bear the highest level of accountability? You? Can you bear this responsibility? If you can't bear it, no one can."
The participant was rendered speechless by Pound's series of questions. His eyelids and corners of his mouth twitched, and his face became increasingly gloomy. He wanted to refute but found that he could not refute him.
Pound was not just a simple person who complained about Coastline Company, nor could he stand it. He was also angry and shocked that his stupid idea would greatly harm the national interest.
"That's enough, this is not a vegetable market." Director Xiao finally spoke. He was still very authoritative. Both Pang De and the leader he was angry at also restrained themselves and did not continue to quarrel with each other.
"I have read Comrade Pang De's research report, and read it carefully." Director Xiao looked around the crowd and said calmly: "I am surprised that Coastline Company does not intend to engage in domestic water operations at all, but
State-owned enterprises that are preparing to license technology do not want profits, and the technology licensing fee is only a symbolic fee."
All the attendees were shocked when they heard this, wondering if they heard it wrong. However, when Director Xiao said this smoothly, everyone heard it clearly and knew they heard it right.
The participant who had just had an argument with Pound couldn't help but asked: "Is it just a technical license? Is it the source of the core or the coastline?"
Director Xiao glanced at him and said: "What? You mean this is not enough? You also need to bring in technology, right?"
The leader who attended the meeting said weakly and honestly: "It would be better if we could stop it."
Then he saw Director Xiao staring at him without saying a word. The gaze in his eyes made him feel weak. He suddenly forced a smile in embarrassment and said: "Uh no, I don't expect to be able to..."
Director Xiao retracted his gaze and looked at all the participants present, and said calmly: "I believe that Comrade Pang De is doing business and discussing matters as they are. He is right. This is not a question of whether he takes responsibility or not.
We can afford it, but what is more serious than shouldering the responsibility is the immeasurable negative impact on society. We cannot covet and compete with the people for profits just because private enterprises do well and make more. This will not lead to death.
Instead of revitalizing the country’s economy, it is killing it.”
As he spoke, Director Xiao gradually turned his attention to him: "If your proposal is not unconsidered, then it's just a hooligan."
What he said directly shocked him. Not only did his anger towards Pound suddenly disappear, but there was no time. He immediately said in embarrassment: "What Director Xiao criticized is that I did not consider it carefully. I should reflect deeply."
Review.”
"I know it's best." After speaking, Director Xiao looked away. He immediately looked at the CEO of the Water Group and said, "Mr. Ye, the water affairs across the country are under your control. This technological progress will directly impact the water plant under your leadership.
Now, why, you, the leader, don’t have anything to say?”
The CEO of the Water Group couldn't help but think about it. Director Xiao looked at him patiently, but after a moment, CEO Ye said with a smile: "Although I am personally considering bringing in this private enterprise technology.
It’s possible, but Director Xiao’s important speech just now is very profound and worthy of our deep thought.”
"Express your stance." Director Xiao said concisely and concisely.
"I firmly support the instructions of my superiors." Boss Ye said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Director Xiao paused on him for less than a second and then withdrew his gaze. He looked around the crowd and said, "I would also like to express my opinion. Coastline Company was established not long ago, but its achievements are attracting attention at home and abroad. Therefore, I suggest that next year
The National Outstanding Entrepreneur Award was awarded to Ye Hua, the founder of the company, to encourage and commend the country's economic and social development, promote the healthy growth of our country's entrepreneurial team, promote entrepreneurship and give full play to entrepreneurs in promoting scientific development
, has made outstanding contributions in accelerating the transformation of economic development methods. Of course, this will need to be further discussed and will be announced to the public after the final review and confirmation."
When Director Xiao paused and was about to continue speaking, he was suddenly occupied by a burst of applause. The conference room hesitated for less than a second. More than a dozen participants applauded enthusiastically. Director Xiao turned his head and looked at Pound,
It was he who took the lead in applauding with great emotion.
Obviously, all the participants present had a general understanding, and Boss Ye also knew that it was impossible to take public ownership of Coastline Company's emerging technologies. After all, Ye Hua had given a huge concession that no one had expected. It was already unexpected.
.
If he is still not satisfied and makes Ye Hua angry and simply locks the technology in the laboratory, then there is really no way to go. He will also face huge pressure from public opinion. The reputation of suppressing private enterprises and hindering scientific and technological progress cannot be escaped. On the contrary,
Pushing Ye Hua to the level of a tragic hero.
As for using public power to force the takeback, even if some people dare to do so, they definitely don't have the guts. Not only is Coastline Company about to... it has even become the largest private company, with extraordinary social influence and many involvements, including the military.
They are all purchasing military-grade electrical products from Coastline Company. Playing a rogue in front of this company is basically tantamount to committing suicide.
Because no one can bear the responsibility for the consequences and negative impacts. Once the highest authority is held accountable, who can bear the responsibility? Just the crime of undermining the country [with public ownership as the main body and the common development of multiple ownership economies] makes people think this way
The person shivered for a while.
After the warm applause fell, Director Xiao sighed and continued: "The great achievements of the Republic today are due to the blood of the older generation of revolutionaries and the tears of the new generation of reformers. We cannot always let the doers suffer, let alone
We can’t let them sweat, bleed, and shed tears!”
As soon as Director Xiao finished speaking, Pound took the lead in applauding for the second time. The others hesitated for a while but responded quickly, and the conference room resounded with warm applause.
Mr. Ye and other attendees present could not help but look at Pound. His previous impressive performance and the two times he took the lead in applauding Director Xiao were full of outstanding political wisdom.
The participant who had quarreled with him before reacted and sighed to himself. Why didn't he think of taking the lead in applauding Director Xiao just now?
