Chapter 510 Shareholding System Reform
readx;?“ We have just listened to the opinions of the government and academia, but the fundamentals of economic operation are still up to the managers of enterprises to carry out the operation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Whether our theories and policies are in line with reality and whether we can achieve the goals we want to achieve depends on listening to the opinions of the actual implementers. In today's meeting, we have also invited a group of entrepreneurs who are currently at the forefront of society, so let's listen to their opinions. ”
"The main task of our government and business in the next few years is undoubtedly to control the current disorderly economic development situation and bring inflation back into the control of the state, which is already showing signs of losing control. ”
"What is the opinion of the comrades in the business community on this?"
As soon as Director Li's voice fell, the staff had already sent the microphones of the event to Hu Wenhai and Lu Guanqiu. Not only that, but the eyes of everyone in the conference room were also focused on this group of people.
"Let me say a few words. ”
Lu Guanqiu decisively took the microphone and began to speak in everyone's eyes.
"I just listened to the speeches of government and academic leaders and professors, and I am very inspired as a business manager. As for the relationship between demand and production, inflation is caused by the large gap between the two, which is something I have not considered before. But as a factory director of a township enterprise, I use my own eyes and experience to share my views on inflation. ”
"Since inflation is manifested by an excessive amount of money, how much money is appropriate? It depends on our productive forces, and when the productive forces develop, the natural market can accommodate more money. But what is the reason why our productive forces are lagging behind the growth rate of money? Why can't we balance the supply of money with the development of productive forces?"
"A professor just said that state-owned enterprises borrow a lot from the Ministry of Finance, so that the central bank can only continue to print money to lend to state-owned enterprises. Why? In my opinion, it is very simple, because many state-owned enterprises now have difficulties in surviving on their own if the banks do not lend money. ”
"State loans are used to pay wages to workers, but the factories produce less than the value of wages, and the result is naturally a growing gap between money and consumer goods in society. ”
"To control inflation, we must grasp both hands and control the amount of money put in, but how can we control it? With all due respect, this unprincipled practice of transfusing blood into state-owned enterprises is not controlled, and the amount of money put in the money cannot be stopped. Without reforming the system of state-owned enterprises, the productivity of state-owned enterprises will not be improved, and the gap between consumer goods and money will not be narrowed. Therefore, reducing the amount of money and controlling demand is only a palliative method, and in order to cure the root cause, I think it is still necessary to carry out the reform of state-owned enterprises. ”
Lu Guanqiu's words made the others look at each other.
Indeed, it seems that no one has thought in this direction, and many poorly run state-owned enterprises are now counting on the company to borrow money from the bank to pay wages. Even if an enterprise that insists on production, because of the nature of its planned economy, the remuneration obtained in the market is higher than the value of the products produced, which is equivalent to an indirect blood transfusion from the treasury.
It is the inefficiency of state-owned enterprises across the country that is actually the root cause of inflation. It is obviously unlikely that scholars and leaders have not thought so. Otherwise, the pressure on SOE reform would not be so great.
But some people really say that the country is spending money to raise a group of people who eat white rice, and this is not something that anyone dares to say.
How huge is the power of state-owned enterprises? To put it bluntly, 90 percent of the urban population is a vested interest in state-owned enterprises. Blaming state-owned enterprises is almost antagonistic to the mainstream forces in China today.
Therefore, state-owned enterprises reached out to the Ministry of Finance to borrow, and the Ministry of Finance did not dare not borrow at all. This blood transfusion line was broken, and the next thing was a situation of unrest across the country.
Even if you know that it is to drink to quench your thirst, you can only stick to it.
The control of inflation only dares to act from various technical market levels, and it is easy not to move the largest channel of monetary volume.
If state-owned enterprises can realize that they do not have to borrow from banks, or the borrowed funds can be used to expand reproduction. Then, of course, the amount of money will be linked to the efficiency of the development of productive forces, and even if there is a certain amount of inflation, it can also be reflected in the increase of consumer goods in the market, and inflation will have a certain significance in promoting the economy.
But this is not easy to say after all.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Guanqiu's words fell, some people raised objections.
"Ownership by the whole people is the nature of the vast majority of enterprises in our country, and the reform affects not only the national economic situation, but also the ideological and political situation. Director Lu said that if you want to reform, you will reform, what if something goes wrong? Can you afford to take responsibility?"
"It's not that the country doesn't want the reform of state-owned enterprises, at least it has been looking for a way out of the reform of state-owned enterprises. Until we find a way out, we can't completely ignore the rapid growth of inflation, right?"
......
Faced with the rebuttals of the "big" people in the front seats, Lu Guanqiu did not have the slightest timidity, but bravely picked up the microphone to refute.
"With all due respect, I have one word of advice for you in terms of ideology and standing in the position of a business operator. In terms of management, the so-called ownership by the whole people basically means that the whole people do not have it. It is precisely because there is no clear natural person who can represent the ownership of the property rights of the enterprise, and the SOE actually has no responsibility and no person who needs to be responsible. Because the whole people own the whole people, they cannot personally operate the management of state-owned enterprises. Whether a state-owned enterprise is operating well or not is not a question of personal future and destiny for the operator, and there is no question of whether he is responsible for the entire people, because even if the operator is not responsible, the whole people will not have any binding force on him. ”
Someone listened to his words and retorted dissatisfiedly: "That can't be said, isn't there a higher-level leadership department in the management of enterprise operation?"
"If the higher-level leading departments are really effective, why do our state-owned enterprises still shout for streamlining administration and delegating powers? Facts have proven that the management of higher-level leading departments is often chaotic, because the entire people have no binding force on the higher-level leading departments. Our political structure determines that the only thing that the entire people can restrain is the National People's Congress, but the National People's Congress only meets once a year, so what can it manage?"
"Then what is your opinion? This is not good, that is not good, the management of state-owned enterprises cannot count on the whole people to make decisions, isn't it absurd!"
Lu Guanqiu's eyes lit up, in fact, he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. The previous tirade was originally intended to be a foreshadowing for the main topic. Sure enough, he picked up the microphone and said with a high spirit.
"My opinion is that we should carry out the reform of the shareholding system of state-owned enterprises! Clarify property rights, separate the management of state-owned enterprises from the government, and set up professional management organs for state-owned enterprises. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Guanqiu suddenly glanced sideways at Hu Wenhai, and then continued: "Comrades don't know if you have read an article from Xiucheng in the Economic Daily some time ago this year. The secretary of the factory committee of Xiucheng Computer Factory summarized some innovations in the work of Xiucheng Computer Factory. The chrysanthemum brand of Xiucheng Computer Factory has performed very well in the domestic market and even in the international market, which shows that their reform should be fruitful. ”
"Among them, the reform of management and ownership has attracted my attention, Secretary Xue put forward the separation of ownership and management mode in the article, ownership can be the whole people, but the mode of operation is to the development of the enterprise for the purpose. The enterprise belongs to the state, and management is the spontaneous behavior of the enterprise itself. The managers of the business should not be appointed by the government, but should be chosen by the equity owners who directly benefit from the operation. As long as the owner of the equity is a state institution, then our ownership system has not changed. ”
"After my understanding, the Xiucheng Industrial Bureau has long been exploring this model. Before 1984, Xiucheng had thousands of large and small enterprises, and the problems faced were not much different from those of state-owned enterprises across the country. However, after 1986, the number of enterprises in Xiucheng began to decrease sharply. So far, the number of state-owned enterprises is only more than a hundred. However, Xiucheng enterprises are not bankrupt and bankrupt, but are carrying out orderly merger and optimization. Several groups that have risen from the merger process, including Xiucheng Electronic Computer Company, Xiucheng Heavy Industry Group, Xiucheng Chemical Company, Xiucheng Department Store, Xiucheng Labor Service Company, etc., these enterprises can be said to have made a difference in related industries in China. ”
"The reason for this is that I think Zhang Mingjie, director of Xiucheng Industrial Bureau, has made a new attempt in management. ”
"Business operators and government workers are separated from each other, and if they are not doing well, they will be merged by well-run enterprises. The treatment of enterprise workers is determined by the efficiency of the enterprise, the enterprise operator is determined by its performance, and the property rights belong to the Xiucheng Industrial Bureau, but the Industrial Bureau does not interfere with the specific business behavior of each group. The role of the Xiucheng Industrial Bureau is similar to that of the board of directors in a joint-stock enterprise......"
Lu Guanqiu's speech made everyone stunned again. It can be seen that they did not expect that today's meeting would develop in this direction.
But the plan proposed by Lu Guanqiu does make people feel bright. Ownership and management are separated, and as long as the shareholding is a state institution, then the ownership system is not degenerated. Under the shareholding system, there are direct beneficiaries in the operation of enterprises, and it seems that the role of clarifying property rights can indeed be achieved. Reform the management departments of enterprises and improve the current system in the direction of the board of directors of the joint-stock system. This not only avoids the excessive interference of the higher authorities in the lower enterprises, but also clarifies the owner of the property rights.
It is important to know that in the reform of state-owned enterprises, the clarification of property rights has always been an arduous and unavoidable problem.
