Chapter 883 State-owned enterprises also need to transform
After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Fan understood the purpose of the old man's visit. The reform and transformation of state-owned enterprises was inevitable.
Without reform and transformation, the competitiveness of state-owned enterprises will become weaker and weaker. Simply relying on a monopoly position to make money will not work.
Although there was talk of reform in the past, the actions were not very fast because many state-owned enterprises felt that they would be fine without reform.
Especially those large state-owned enterprises that rely on administrative monopoly, they almost make money lying around. But times are changing, and state-owned enterprises that rely on administrative monopoly are no longer safe.
The most representative example in the past two years is Two Barrels of Oil. In the past, relying on administrative monopoly, we almost made money on the side.
However, electric vehicles have developed rapidly in the past two years, and oil consumption has dropped significantly. The profit from two barrels of oil has been declining rapidly.
Profits are declining rapidly, and even the number of gas stations is currently decreasing. This rate of decline has made the country worried.
Two Barrels of Oil was so strong before. I thought it would continue to be like this thanks to its monopoly position. However, the rapid growth of new energy vehicles directly led to a sharp decline in demand.
This is just the beginning. In another five or ten years, when all fuel vehicles are eliminated, everyone knows what will happen to the life of two barrels of oil.
Now there are not only new energy vehicles, but also other tools that consume oil are currently transforming into new energy sources.
In the future, even airplanes and ships may be powered by new energy sources. How will the oil industry transform by then?
It is precisely because of the profound lessons that the country has now made up its mind to reform state-owned enterprises and explore the transformation of state-owned enterprises.
State-owned enterprises must keep pace with the times in order to exert greater influence. Otherwise, in the future, these state-owned enterprises may be eliminated bit by bit.
"Chief, I am a private businessman..."
Zhang Fan looked at the old man. Zhang Fan didn't dare to mess around. This was a completely thankless job. Reform would offend others. Besides, state-owned enterprises had nothing to do with him, so why should he stand out?
Zhang Fan didn't have much favorable impressions of these state-owned enterprises. Especially those state-owned enterprises that relied on administrative monopoly, Zhang Fan was most disdainful.
None of these state-owned enterprises want to make progress. If they do not have a policy monopoly position, they will be beaten to death by other competitors in minutes.
The old man laughed when he heard Zhang Fan's words. Obviously, Zhang Fan is also a person who doesn't let go of eagles when he sees rabbits.
“What if the country allows Longteng Group to enter certain industries?”
The old man's words made Zhang Fan widen his eyes and let Longteng Group enter certain industries. If this was the case, it would be too attractive.
You must know that there are many industries that are very profitable. For example, banking, communications, energy, etc.
"Chief, do you want me to be that catfish?"
Zhang Fan asked uncertainly, and the old man smiled and nodded.
"State-owned enterprises need to be reformed, but internal relations are complicated. Many people are unwilling to reform. In the final analysis, it is because the money is too easy to make and there are no competitors."
The old man said seriously: Why are some state-owned enterprises unwilling to reform? Even if they do not carry out reforms seriously, in the final analysis, it is because of their monopoly status and the money is too easy to make.
There is no sense of competition, so they will not seriously carry out reforms. If there is competition and awareness of crisis, they will naturally go for reforms.
This is also the biggest focus of reform, but it cannot be fully opened. After all, the country must also consider national finance and security.
Catfish, now some industries need a catfish. Let this catfish stir them up and make them spontaneously carry out reforms.
"Chief, let me tell you my opinion. It's just nonsense, and the local chief doesn't care about it."
Zhang Fan's words made the old man laugh.
"I think that in the reform of state-owned enterprises, we must first clarify the positioning of state-owned enterprises. I think that state-owned enterprises should not only make profits and increase national income. They should also be role models and leaders for private enterprises, and they must also be a weapon for the country to open up overseas markets.
"
Zhang Fan's words aroused the old man's interest, and he looked at Zhang Fan curiously.
"Take the communications market as an example. Currently, the three major communications companies monopolize the Chinese communications market and earn a lot of profits every year. But the three major communications companies do not have core technologies. As state-owned enterprises, the three major communications companies earn so much profits every year.
It should be a leader in the communications industry, but now it is being criticized."
Zhang Fan's words made the old man nod.
"If you were asked to reform the communications industry, what would you do? It's okay, we are just having a private conversation, so speak boldly."
The old man's words made Zhang Fan nod.
"If I were in charge of reform, then the three major communication companies would unite and increase research and development efforts on core technologies. The most important thing is to create communication standards and compete directly with the world's giants. Only in this way can we earn more
Profit. You must know that our country’s communications industry is robbed of huge amounts of patent fees by foreign communications giants every year..."
Zhang Fan began to explain his point of view. State-owned enterprises have advantages. This advantage is that they can pool funds and talents across the country to carry out technical research.
And with the support of the state behind it, profits can be temporarily abandoned. Focus on core technologies. Only by leading the world in core technologies can the nature of a state-owned enterprise be truly brought into play.
"State-owned enterprises should make use of their own advantages. Focusing on the future, they cannot simply pursue profit growth. Instead, they should look at the perspective of the whole people. This is the advantage of state-owned enterprises. They should always be at the forefront of core technologies, and perhaps their own profits will
It has decreased. But from the perspective of national profits, it has greatly increased the wealth of the entire country."
Zhang Fan's words made the old man think deeply. Zhang Fan's perspective on the problem was indeed different from others. But after careful consideration, it was completely correct.
State-owned enterprises should not simply pursue profit growth, but should assume more social responsibilities and invest more funds in technology research and development.
After possessing core technologies, they can then radiate to private enterprises and make profits together. At the same time, they should give full play to the advantages of state-owned enterprises, significantly increase scientific research funds, and focus on the future. Only in this way can state-owned enterprises not be eliminated and truly achieve their goals.
State-owned enterprises should be a leader and should play a guiding role in the market. They should serve as role models. Instead of the image they are criticized for now.
After listening to Zhang Fan's words, the old man began to think deeply. Many of Zhang Fan's ideas coincided with those above.
However, although the opinions are opinions, it is very difficult to actually implement them.
"Xiao Zhang, if the three major communication companies and your Longteng Group are allowed to establish a new communication company, would you be willing to be the leader of this company?"
The old man looked at Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan's eyes widened as soon as he said these words. The communications industry is really awesome.
