Chapter 1276: Special Historical Legacy Issues

"Hehe, Comrade Feiyang, since you know the situation of Fenggang Group, let's talk about it first, what do you think of the current business predicament of Fenggang Group?" Shu Qinghua said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing that Shu Qinghua wanted to test himself, Bao Feiyang smiled slightly, he studied this question for several months, and he naturally answered it with confidence.

"The current business predicament of Fenggang Group does not lie in Fenggang Group itself, but a problem left over from history. Bao Feiyang sorted out his thoughts a little in his mind and began to answer Shu Qinghua's question, "In fact, not only Fenggang Group, but also the vast majority of state-owned enterprises in Fenglin City are suffering from the business dilemma, in fact, it should be said that it is a historical problem. There are many people who believe that the reason why the state-owned enterprises in Fenglin City, including the Fenggang Group, have suffered from the current operational predicament is that the responsible persons of these state-owned enterprises are incapable, incompetent, or have no enthusiasm for work, and they are overly busy all day long and do not devote their energy to production and operation; some people also say that the workers of these state-owned enterprises in Fenglin City have no enterprising spirit and sense of responsibility, and they go to the factory every day to mess around, and they do not take their own work seriously at all, so this has caused the situation in which most of the enterprises are in debt, insolvent, and on the verge of bankruptcyOn the contrary, according to my understanding, the vast majority of the enterprise leaders and workers in the state-owned enterprises in Fenglin City are quite dedicated, and almost every one of them can be said to be a model worker who is down-to-earth and willing to work hard!"

Hearing Bao Feiyang say this, Liu Zekai felt that his old face was hot, and he didn't know where to put it. The views that Bao Feiyang said do exist, and they are still in the mainstream. When talking about these old industrial bases in the three northeastern provinces, many media in Beijing basically stick to this viewpoint: What enterprise management cadres have a serious bureaucratic style, people are overworked, and their energy is used in internal friction, and the workers are too lazy, and there is no such thing as the workers in the southern provinces who are diligent and hard-working, and so on. Liu Zekai, as the chairman and general manager of Fenggang Group, is usually talked about by others. However, at this moment, Bao Feiyang, a cadre from the economically developed provinces in the south, took the initiative to stand up and defend them at this time, saying that these views were biased and irresponsible, how could Liu Zekai not be moved in his heart? Thinking that he had just told Shu Qinghua about Bao Feiyang's black state in front of Bao Feiyang, Liu Zekai was naturally very ashamed in his heart.

Shu Qinghua glanced at Bao Feiyang with some surprise, he didn't expect him to say this, so he nodded and said, "Well, since you said that it is not the problem of the enterprise being responsible and the workers below, what is the problem?

"As I said earlier, it is a problem left over from history," Bao Feiyang said, "The reason for the current situation is mainly the two-track price system." ”

The dual-track price system refers to a special price management system in the transition from China's economic system to a market economy.

Before the reform and opening up, Huaxia practiced a planned economic system. Under the planned economic system, the material distribution system is bounded by administrative divisions, with administrative instructions as a means, through layers of application, layer by layer distribution, and on this basis, organized and limited ordering, the price is completely controlled by the relevant state departments, the result is that the enterprise is controlled to death, the product is "consistent for many years", the turnover of materials and funds is slow, and all kinds of waste is serious.

Since 1981, the state has allowed enterprises to sell some of their own products on the premise of completing the plan, and the price of which is determined by the market. In this way, there is a dual-track system in which the products of the state's directive plan are uniformly allocated according to the prices stipulated by the state, and the prices of the products sold by the enterprises themselves are determined by the market.

The dual-track price system has a dual nature, with both positive and negative effects.

On the positive side, it is a good transitional form to realize the transformation of China's price model. It has opened up the road for reforming the prices of the means of production in a tense economic environment, promoted the transformation of the price formation mechanism, gradually introduced the market mechanism into the production and exchange of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, and promoted the rapid development of the production of the means of production in major industries.

On the other hand, however, the dual-track price system has a very serious negative effect. When the economy is overheated, the contradiction between supply and demand is acute, and there is a huge disparity between the planned price and the market price, certain lawless people engage in power-for-money transactions on a large scale, exploit the loopholes of the dual-track price system, and sometimes turn the commodities at parity into the market for sale, and sometimes turn the commodities in the market into commodities at parity prices.

With the continuous deepening of reform and the establishment and continuous improvement of the market economy, the state has gradually abolished the planned prices of most commodities and sold them at market prices in a unified manner, and the dual-track system has naturally disappeared.

"I remember that the state officially abolished the dual-track system of steel prices and liberalized steel prices in 1993. When Bao Feiyang said this, he turned his face and asked Liu Zekai, who was sitting in the front seat, "Mr. Liu, my memory is not wrong, right?"

"That's right!" Liu Zekai nodded and said, "At that time, the notice issued by the state stipulated that with March 1993 as the time node, except for the national railway special steel and military special steel, the national guidance price will be abolished, and the market adjustment price shall prevail. ”

Seeing that Liu Zekai had confirmed his statement, Bao Feiyang continued: "According to what I have learned in Jiangbei Province, since April 1, 1993, the steel prices of all state-owned iron and steel enterprises in Jiangbei Province have not been sold at the state-guided price. ”

"Originally, I thought that the same situation was going on in Fenglin City, but when I did an investigation, I was shocked," Bao Feiyang said, "and the information I found found was that even by the end of 1996, the iron and steel enterprises affiliated to Fenglin City had allocated steel to other countries according to the national planned price, including the Fenggang Group." In 1996, the price of steel on the market was as high as 3,200 yuan a ton, but 95 percent of the steel allocated by the Fenggang Group could only implement the state-planned price, which is 1,056 yuan per ton. This time and again, there is a price difference of more than 2,000 yuan per ton. In 1996, the Fenggang Group's steel output was 800,000 tons, of which 760,000 tons were allocated at the state's planned price, and the loss of 760,000 tons of steel was more than 150 million yuan based on the loss of 2,000 yuan per ton. In the four years from 1993 to 19961, Fenggang Group lost 600 million yuan just because of the state's planned price allocation. ”

"In this case, even if Mr. Liu works hard and diligently, and the workers endure hardships and hard work, how can they make up for the deficit of 600 million?" Bao Feiyang asked rhetorically. (To be continued.) )
