Chapter X: Lifting the ban
Chapter 10 Ban
Su Huandong couldn't help but be moved, he understood that what Fang Mingyuan said was not untargeted, judging from the performance of state-owned enterprises in recent years, the possibility that Fang Mingyuan said was very likely to exist! He also believed that Fang Mingyuan would never make any jokes or intimidate himself on this kind of thing. Then Fang Mingyuan's purpose in saying this to himself is very clear, that is, he wants to convince the government to leave an opening for private capital, at least for the Fang family, in the nascent Internet industry!
But things seem to be simple to say, but when you really want to do it, it is full of trouble.
Although China has been implementing the policy of reform and opening up for many years, and many industries are gradually opening up to private capital, this does not mean that these leaders at the top of the government have completely reached a unified consensus. Whether at the top level or among the people, there is still a great debate about whether "the country advances and the people retreat" or "the country retreats and the people advance". If you want to open up a certain industry to private capital, it will take a lot of words to achieve it.
The steel industry is undoubtedly a typical example. From the beginning, the senior leaders had this idea, and now they have basically reached a consensus, and it has taken several years, and if it were not for Fang Mingyuan's sudden decision to build a factory in Liao Province, the timetable for liberalization would definitely be pushed back to at least next year. And even so, the controversy at the top is quite fierce. If it weren't for Fang Mingyuan's mastery of Albert Steel's stainless steel production patent, I'm afraid there would be two theories about who would win and who would lose in this game.
Although the Internet is only an emerging industry, it is not yet clear what kind of potential it has, but who can guarantee that except for Fang Mingyuan, no one else in China can see the future development prospects of the Internet? And the more industries with broad development prospects and decisive economic status, the more people want to completely monopolize it in the hands of the government! And Fang Mingyuan's talent in the business field is known to a lot of high-level people, and if Fang Mingyuan shows that he attaches importance to the Internet, it will undoubtedly add more variables to this matter.
"Mingyuan, I already know what you think, leave these materials for me to take a closer look." Su Huandong stroked his forehead with his hand, and after a while, he continued, "In this matter, it's best not to talk to others for the time being, and wait for me to sort out my eyebrows here!" ”
Fang Mingyuan also understood that this matter was very important, and Su Huandong naturally had to think carefully and clearly before he could make a decision, and it was impossible to make a decision on the spot. Fortunately, the Internet has just entered China, even in developed countries in Europe and the United States, the use and development of the Internet is still a problem that many people have not yet found a way forward, and he does not need to be in a hurry. Being able to persuade Su Huandong today and get Su Huandong's recognition is already his biggest gain.
July in the capital is arguably the hottest time of the year, and the weather is as hot as being in a Nasana bath. And in this month, Huaxia Zheng officially announced to the whole country that the steel industry will be opened to private capital from now on, and this policy, compared to Fang Mingyuan's previous life, is five to six years earlier!
And when this news was announced, some people sang and danced lightly in Mén, and some people sang and cried outside Mén. The difference is that they have one surname for the people and one surname for the country. The CEOs of state-owned iron and steel enterprises have made no secret of this result, and everyone's opinion is highly unified, that is, "the wolf is coming"! Compared with state-owned enterprises, private enterprises have a common and fatal advantage, that is, high efficiency and low product cost!
In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, the vice president of a well-known private iron and steel company once told reporters, "With the same workload, it takes 30,000 people to complete it in a state-owned enterprise, but in our company, 10,000 people are enough!" ”
With such a huge gap, how can the CEOs of these state-owned steel enterprises not feel the pressure?
The policy of reform and opening up has been implemented for more than 10 years in '94, and although the state has opened up many industries to private capital, many fields such as the iron and steel industry, the railway industry, the aviation industry, and the banking industry are still forbidden areas for private capital. As a result, private entrepreneurs who have accumulated a large amount of capital have empty funds, but they have no way to start. The ban on private capital in the steel industry has not only enabled these private capital to find a new direction for investment, but also undoubtedly made these private capital see the wonderful prospects that may exist in the future -- perhaps one day, industries such as banking and aviation, which were originally only state-owned enterprises can gallop, also have the possibility of private capital entering.
It's just that after Fang Mingyuan learned the news, he was not ecstatic as most people thought, but came to the platform on the roof of the building under the still scorching sunshine of the sunset, and silently watched into the distance.
For him, the opening of the steel industry is just the beginning, and the road of private capital in the future will be full of ups and downs. Although it is said that private steel enterprises will be brilliant when they give a little sunshine, they can not enjoy too much sunshine. Although they have such shortcomings that make state-owned enterprises look down on them, they have the vitality and agility that most state-owned enterprises do not have. Although the direction of national macro policies determines the life and death of private iron and steel enterprises. In the macroeconomic policy adjustment again and again, the main body of regulation is the private economy, and the most injured are always private steel enterprises. However, as soon as the policy allows, they are like xiǎo wheat growing wildly in the field, bursting with vitality that amazes the world.
In the previous life, in just a dozen years, Huaxia successfully reached the top of crude steel production in one fell swoop, becoming the largest steel producer in Shijie, in which private steel enterprises contributed at least nearly 40% of steel output.
Nowadays, the big mén of Huaxia's steel industry has been pushed away, but the road ahead is not so easy to walk. Although the time of the ban has been advanced by several years, does that also mean that the time for future policy adjustments will be greatly advanced? Will the pressure be more ferocious? Therefore, there is no real meaning in celebrating too early. And ecstasy for it is even more meaningless
Even Fang Mingyuan himself, sometimes recalling his past life, doesn't know where he can go in this world of today's steel industry? And how far can you go?
