Chapter 331: Fund Bidding Begins
In Beijing, in the small conference room of the Economic Commission, Director Zhang and Luo Xiangfei were talking about Lecheng:
"Xiao Luo, you Feng Xiaochen are really a fierce general, such a complicated matter, he can actually cut through the mess quickly and solve it at once, a little bit of your richness back then. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, this Xiao Feng's biggest characteristic is that he dares to think and dare to do, he looks reckless, but he can grasp the measure. This time, he applied for the security department to intervene, and I really sweated for him, for fear that he would go too far and cause a group incident. At the very least, it has made Lecheng lose face and affected the relationship between the central and local governments. ”
In the end, he was able to take the initiative to help Lecheng solve the approval problem of the TV factory, which was really unexpected. In this way, Lecheng's anger disappeared, and he owed him a favor. ”
"The premise of owing favors is that our economic commission can approve this TV factory, if it can't be approved, he will become a liar, and he is afraid that the resentment will be deeper. ”
"Haha, Xiao Luo, are you here to help Feng Xiaochen intercede? He dared to take care of everything without asking for instructions, and released bold words to others with seventy percent certainty, I really don't know where his confidence came from. ”
"Director Zhang, I think Xiao Feng's words make some sense. In fact, we can't control local investment. When the central government's policy is liberalized, what difference will there be between us approving and not approving it? Why don't we take advantage of the fact that it is now a little binding, and take it out to give the local government a sweetness......
"This Xiao Feng is so sensitive to policy, it's really rare......"
After Feng Xiaochen returned to the capital from Lecheng, he reported to Luo Xiangfei the agreement he had reached with Shang Renye, and asked Luo Xiangfei to ask the leaders of the Economic Commission for instructions and approve the report on the construction of a television factory in Lecheng. Feng Xiaochen's reason is very simple, within two years, the state will definitely let go of local investment decision-making power, and now it is meaningless to stick to Lecheng's neck, it is better to take it out in advance as a personal favor.
Feng Xiaochen said that within two years, there was actually room for improvement. In fact, in the second year, the state will issue a "decision on the reform of the economic system", thus comprehensively launching the reform of the urban economic system. The focus of the new round of reform is to decentralize power, local governments have obtained the power of investment, foreign trade, labor and employment, and other aspects, and enterprises have begun a comprehensive responsibility system reform, which is the germ of the separation of government and enterprise responsibilities in later generations.
After local governments gained economic autonomy, investment enthusiasm was at an all-time high. In Feng Xiaochen's memory, in 1985 alone, there were no less than 50 new TV factories across the country, and all the previous national restrictions were turned into waste paper. As long as the local government has money and foreign exchange, it can decide on its own to introduce technology and build factories, and no longer need to look at the face of the country. This round of investment led to a severe economic overheating, for which the state paid high tuition fees, and later generations of economists were suffocated.
From Feng Xiaochen's perspective of travel, knowing that the State Economic Commission was stuck in the construction of the Lecheng TV Factory at this time, it was already unnecessary, and in less than a year, people would not need to care whether you approve it or not. Instead of being this villain now, it is better to pretend to be reluctant to give them approval, so that both the Lecheng ethylene project headquarters and Feng Xiaochen himself can leave a great favor in the Lecheng government, which is of great benefit to the construction and follow-up operation of the ethylene project.
In other words, you know that you will cancel the meat ticket tomorrow, and the pork can be supplied openly, but today you take a handful of meat tickets to do favors in exchange for a thousand thanks, no wonder Shang Renye thinks that Feng Xiaochen is a cultured hooligan in his heart.
When Feng Xiaochen told Luo Xiangfei about this set of truths, Luo Xiangfei was still a little skeptical. In recent years, the state has been advocating the expansion of local autonomy, and Luo Xiangfei knows this. But to say that the local investment rights will be fully liberalized within two years at most, Luo Xiangfei is a little unbelievable.
When he brought this opinion to the Economic Commission to ask Director Zhang for instructions, he unexpectedly received a positive reply from Director Zhang. Director Zhang said that the national leadership is indeed brewing a big reform move, and this big move contains the content of liberalizing the autonomy of local investment. If nothing else, the relevant document will be adopted at next year's meeting and will serve as a guideline for reforming the economic system in the coming years. In other words, Feng Xiaochen's prediction is completely reliable.
For Feng Xiaochen's foresight, the two leaders did not guess from the assumption of the time-traveler, after all, they didn't grow up reading time-traveling novels, and they didn't have such a string in their heads. They just think that Feng Xiaochen has a broad vision and can grasp the spirit of the country's policies, which is a rare ability, and there are many people in the system who have this kind of insight.
"In that case, why don't we give Lecheng a reply directly? Tell them that this matter has been included in the agenda of the Economic Commission, and after half a year, we will give them an approval and let them accept the favor of the ethylene project department." Luo Xiangfei suggested with a smile.
"I'm afraid it also includes the love of your little Feng, right?" Director Zhang revealed with a smile.
Luo Xiangfei said: "I do have such thoughts. Xiao Feng offended Lecheng a lot this time, and it is better to settle the grievances. He is still young, and he may have the opportunity to work in the local area in the future, and forming such contradictions at the grassroots level is very detrimental to his development. ”
Director Zhang nodded and said, "I also thought of this. This favor, we can give, anyway, it's an empty favor, and within a year, Lecheng will scold his mother. However, speaking of Xiao Feng, I think that his personality is indeed not suitable for working in an agency, and his edge is too strong, and it is easy to offend people. Now that he has you, Bole, to protect him, he can still carry him if something happens, and in the future, his wings will be stiff and he will be able to fly solo, who will help him?"
"That's what I'm worried about. Luo Xiangfei sighed softly. He knew that Director Zhang's words were more subtle, in fact, he said that after Luo Xiangfei retired, no one would be able to cover Feng Xiaochen anymore. He said: "To be honest, I appreciate Xiao Feng's aggressiveness, much like our energy in the early days of liberation. To engage in industry, we must have the spirit of daring to be the first in the world, and we cannot always be reluctant to camp, afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the future. But what you said is also the truth, Director Zhang, this kind of work style is already a little uncomfortable today, especially in the organs, it is too easy to offend people. ”
"It's really not good, transfer him to the company in a few years, the company will have more autonomy in doing things, maybe he will be able to give full play to his strengths." Director Zhang said.
Luo Xiangfei said: "I have also thought about this. But the Heavy Fitting Office was indeed the best place for him. He has a wide range of knowledge, understands industry, also knows how to operate, invest, and understands international affairs, so it is a pity that such a talent is placed in a certain enterprise to do some specific work. ”
"It's a shame indeed. Director Zhang bowed slightly.
Regarding Feng Xiaochen's placement, I can only talk about this. In the hearts of the two leaders, they both have some ideas. As for how these ideas will affect Feng Xiaochen's career development in the future, it will be a later story, so I will not show it for the time being.
According to Feng Xiaochen's proposal, the Economic Committee re-discussed the construction of the Lecheng Television Factory, and then notified Lecheng to submit various materials. By the time the Economic Commission finally approved the construction project of the Lecheng Television Factory, there was only half a year left before the central government made the decision to fully delegate power. However, because not all people have historical foresight, when the Lecheng City Government got the approval of the State Economic Commission, it still cried with joy, and recorded a great favor for Feng Xiaochen in his heart.
After Feng Xiaochen returned to the capital from Lecheng, he didn't take care of the TV factory anymore, and he had a new thing to do. At the beginning of the year, Yan Leqin and the others agreed with the Economic Commission on the "China Equipment Industry Science and Technology Fund," and now there has been some progress. The China Equipment Industry Technology Bonds, underwritten by the German Bank of Minburg, are selling well in the European market, and the first tranche of funds totalling 100 million marks has been received, and it is now time to open a tender for the project.
According to the original idea, the funds raised from the issuance of equipment industry bonds will be used for China's equipment technology research and development. The Office of Heavy Equipment is responsible for proposing key tasks for R&D and allocating funds to various projects according to the importance and difficulty of the tasks. Domestic industrial enterprises, scientific research institutes, universities and other institutions will be the undertakers of the project, with the support of the fund, to complete the research and development tasks, and comprehensively improve the level of China's equipment industry.
In the past, the choice of which units to undertake R&D tasks was decided according to the likes and dislikes of superior leaders and the lobbying ability of subordinate units, and in order to balance the relationship of interests, it was often necessary to achieve that everyone had a share. This time, however, the Commission has proposed a new approach, that is, open bidding, in which interested and capable units will bid for bids. If you don't want to do it, I won't force you to do it, and if you don't have the ability, I won't give it to you if you want to do it. The scope of the tender also crosses the original industry boundaries, and no matter which industry the organization is, it is eligible to bid.
"All industrial enterprises, research institutes, universities and even individuals in the country, as long as they meet the conditions, can undertake research and development tasks and obtain fund support. ”
This is a circular issued by the Office of Heavy Equipment to the whole country. In addition to being distributed in the form of a document to various regions and industries, this circular was even published in newspapers and made public. According to Feng Xiaochen, this is to mobilize the strength of the whole country in an eclectic manner, and in addition to the forces within the system, they can also participate outside the system.
