Chapter 5
Since the reform and opening up, after more than 20 years of development, the Chinese have accumulated a lot of wealth. Especially when the wealthy led by Han Hao appeared on the public stage, the private economy has quietly occupied an important position in China.
According to statistics, by the end of 2000, the private economy accounted for 33 per cent of the national economy, while 60 per cent of the industrial added value was provided by the private economy every year. The size of the group involved in this wealth is more than 1.8 million Chinese private enterprises and more than 20 million employees, and more than 30 million individual businesses and more than 60 million employees.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and under the political guidance of China's insistence on public ownership as the main body, the private economy has become a force to be reckoned with, and it will inevitably be brought under the control of the state. Non-party organizations such as the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the Federation of Industry and Commerce are state organizations that unify and unite the private economy.
At the symposium convened by the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), all the people who could participate were non-public economic representatives in various industries.
The heads of industry leaders such as China, New Hope, Huawei, Lenovo, Wahaha, Wanxiang, and Fuyao gathered together, and everyone had tens of thousands of mouths behind them to eat, paying hundreds of millions of taxes to the state, affecting the sunny and rainy days of a certain segment of China's economy.
Among these business tycoons, they are basically over forty years old, causing the young Han Hao to sit in it quite eye-catching. If it weren't for the name tag "Han Hao" in front of his seat, people who didn't know would have thought he was a staff member of the service meeting.
China's richest man - Han Hao, everyone in the country knows, which one does not know. But in front of the real person, it is estimated that many people do not know it, and it is the most appropriate metaphor to hear its name and not know its appearance.
However, the Zhonghua Group has now become a small giant in the private economy, so Han Hao's seat was arranged on the left side of the round table near the head of the CPPCC, showing the importance that the state attaches to it.
Roundtables, as the name suggests, are not hierarchical to each other, everyone is at the same level. But you can still see the weight of each from the distance from the chief's seat.
Everyone is a person who has been fighting in the business world for many years, and they can see this. Arrange the seats according to the size of the company, no one can find faults, and if you have the ability to do the company, you can sit in the forefront in the next meeting.
Although the business tycoons did not have deep friendships, they still greeted each other when they met.
"The quality of the Huaxia micro noodles produced in your factory is very good, and I have heard from my subordinates that they are the best among similar products. β
Liu Chengzhi, the head of Lenovo, said to Han Hao.
"yes, thanks for the compliment. Our company has just purchased a batch of servers from your Lenovo and used them in the factory information interconnection. Lao Liu, I can say okay, I haven't used the product yet, and if there is a problem, I can call you directly to complain. β
Han Hao talked and laughed with a group of bigwigs, and everyone had already tacitly assumed that he belonged to the same level as himself. Therefore, Han Hao asked Liu Chengzhi how to call him, and the other party said that he could just call Lao Liu like everyone.
"No problem, as long as you have the opportunity to make this call! I am very confident in the quality of our Lenovo products. β
Liu Chengzhi replied with a laugh.
"Mr. Han, the last time we met, we talked about the procurement of automotive glass, and I will take this opportunity to talk to you about the follow-up situation. Our board of directors has agreed to build a new automotive glass factory in Jiangzhou to support your Zhonghua Group, so that you don't have to worry about supply costs and efficiency. β
Cao Fuwang, the boss of Fuyao Glass, seized the opportunity to propose cooperation to Han Hao.
Fuyao Glass, located in Minnan Province, has really caught up with the good times in the past two years, as the global auto giants have entered China, as a local supplier in China, with excellent cost performance, successfully entered the ranks of automotive glass suppliers.
When stepping up cooperation with international giants, Fuyao Glass also made bets on emerging local automobile companies such as Zhonghua Group in advance. Now that Zhonghua Group has become the enterprise with the strongest development momentum among independent automobile brands, Fuyao Glass will not let go of such a potential partner.
Automobile companies in Japan, South Korea and other countries prefer to grow together with their own suppliers, and such a strong alliance is easy to form a strong combat force in a certain period of time. Therefore, in terms of parts supplier procurement, Han Hao also likes to cooperate with Chinese independent brand manufacturers under the same conditions.
"Mr. Cao, I have said a long time ago that this is a win-win move. Fuyao Glass's investment in Zhehai is not only welcomed by the local government, but also welcomed by our Zhonghua Group. As an OEM, I am very satisfied that you have taken the initiative to set up a factory nearby to supply, so that you can also have more large customers with stable demand. We are all industry representatives of China's automotive industry, and we need to strengthen cooperation and jointly make China's independent automobile industry bigger and stronger. β
Fuyao Glass showed the sincerity of building a factory, and naturally Han Hao would not refuse the other party. By setting up a factory in Jiangzhou to supply nearby, Zhonghua Group can reduce the procurement cost by at least 30% for automotive glass alone.
So far, the only companies that can compete in the global competition of China's auto parts industry are Wanxiang Group, which produces steering systems, and Fuyao Glass, which produces automotive glass.
Wanxiang Group is also an enterprise in Zhejiang Province, and Zhonghua Group has long formed a good cooperative relationship with it, and now the vehicle steering system is basically contracted by Wanxiang Group. In the future, joining Fuyao Glass as a new force, everyone's interests will be more cohesive, and Zhonghua Group, as an OEM, will lead by example to support domestic parts enterprises.
However, there are thousands of auto parts, and China's auto parts companies have only reached the world's advanced level in two fields.
After purchasing the technology from Huaqing University, the BS project will be transformed to carry out practical tests, and once the test is passed, it can be produced in small batches and matched with Zhonghua Group's own brand models.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and the first to walk in was actually the No. 1 leader, and the CPPCC leader followed behind him.
"Bang Bangβ"
The audience, including Han Hao, stood up and greeted the leaders with applause.
"Today, when I heard that you were holding a forum here, I made an impromptu call to the CPPCC comrades and asked to attend the meeting. With China's accession to TO imminent, listening to the voices of representatives from the business community is one way to do research. Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the private sector at home and abroad, and there has been a lot of murmur, and we must face up to this problem and solve it. β
The appearance of the No. 1 leader has raised the level of this forum to a higher level.
"Today is a closed-door meeting, you speak, I will listen with my ears. β
The chief's statement made everyone's nervous mood relax a lot.
"The development of the private sector requires a relaxed environment. At the beginning of the establishment of some enterprises, there is indeed a suspicion of playing the side ball, which is affected by historical objective factors.
Since China's reform and opening up, it has gone from denying the private economy to acquiescing to the private economy, and then from acquiescing to acknowledging, and from acknowledging to the present with limited encouragement, which is actually one of the most important reasons for the rapid economic growth over the past 20 years or so.
It is hoped that the state can issue relevant policy documents in this regard to properly guide enterprises to clarify the issue of property rights. Otherwise, in the face of the huge discretion of the government, everyone has no intention of focusing on the operation of the enterprise, and always has to worry about the ownership of their own enterprise.
In ordinary words, it is the lack of a sense of security about wealth. β
Lenovo's Liu Chengzhi, as the oldest representative, was the first to say his proposal after being named by the chief.
"I believe that the private economy is also an important component of the socialist economy, so the state should treat it equally in competition with the public economy. In monopolistic industries, the private economy should be allowed to enter and compete with the public-owned economy on the same stage, so as to conform to the law of rational distribution of the market economy.
State-owned enterprises are not doing well and are not strong monopoly industries, and they may be able to invigorate and grow in a different way by changing private enterprises. The state should give equal treatment to powerful private economic enterprises in accordance with the TO rules, and should not blindly favor one over the other. β
Liu Yonghao of New Hope was the second to speak, and his New Hope Group intends to diversify from the feed industry and has a strong interest in the electrolytic aluminum and power industries, which are heavily controlled by the state.
......
The No. 1 chief nodded and remembered, which greatly encouraged the other entrepreneurs present, and everyone offered suggestions one after another.
"I saw that the director of Xiaohan was also here, so I would like to ask this representative of China's new generation of entrepreneurs to talk about his proposal. β
Seeing that Han Hao had not asked to speak, the chief took the initiative to say.
"I propose that the protection of citizens' lawful property be enshrined in the Constitution, so that many of the problems that private enterprises now face will be addressed at their roots.
As long as it is the lawful property of citizens, the State may not illegally deprive it in any form, and if the State needs to expropriate private property, it must go through due process and provide reasonable compensation. β
In fact, this proposal was not the first of Han Hao's initiative, and everyone had discussed this issue many times at the internal meeting of the Federation of Industry and Commerce.
Only by attaching importance to the protection of private property can we solve the problem of unclear property rights in the future from the source and avoid the new generation of entrepreneurs from repeating the tragic ending of Kim Yangyong and Li Jingwei.
Although there are many black sheep among the rich, in general, China's current rich class has made their fortunes by relying on hard work and law-abiding management, and the mainstream is a positive representative.
If even the rich do not feel secure about their legitimate property, then the poor, who are relatively vulnerable, are more vulnerable to wrongdoing.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Hao proposed to Chief No. 1 a proposal to protect private legal property.
As soon as Han Hao's proposal came out, everyone at the scene immediately launched a fierce and reasoned discussion around this topic.
From time to time, the No. 1 leader interjected a sentence or two, showing the importance and concern he attaches to this issue.
This symposium inadvertently accelerated the improvement of China's market economy system, and the protection of private legal property is the cornerstone of the market economy, and Han Hao played a small role in this. [.]
