The caller was made by Wu Fukuan, the governor of Donghai Province. He talked to Fan Wuxian about a very bad news, and the acquisition of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group was temporarily suspended.
"Why?" Fan Wuxian was a little surprised.
The most important resource of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group is those talents, and there is no hot spot for profit in addition, at this time, if it is acquired by Fan's Investment Group, there is still a glimmer of life, does it mean that they want to wait until it is completely collapsed, and then look for strategic investors after the talent runs out?
Fan Wuxian doesn't think that anyone will be interested in a local pharmaceutical company that has neither talent nor strength, even now, he is just going to those doctors and masters of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, if there is no such advantage, how can he be interested in Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group?
"The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Ministry of Health, as well as several powerful departments, are opposed." Wu Fukuan was obviously very unhappy about this.
Fan Wuxian scratched his head, and for a while he couldn't figure out what the purpose of this matter was?
All in all, this was unpleasant news, but it was not enough to stop Fan Wuxi's journey in Europe, so after putting down the phone, Fan Wuxian continued to discuss with Shen Ying the issue he was discussing just now.
"Where did I just go?" Fan Wuxi patted his forehead and asked Shen Ying.
"You just talked about the question of finding the mayor or the market—" Shen Ying reminded.
"yes, that's right." Fan Wuxian nodded and said, "Actually, this sentence is here to fool the people." ”
"Why?" Shen Ying asked.
"For example—" Fan Wuxian said to Shen Ying, "for example, when you ran a winery. You have inter-provincial general agents, provincial agents, and municipal agents, and finally county-level agents and terminal dealers, if these people are in trouble, want to let you out, who will you give priority? ”
"Does this still need to be considered? Of course, it is the inter-provincial general agents, their resource advantages are sufficient, the marketing network is perfect, and they can't afford to lose any of them, as for the municipal or county-level agents, don't say I don't know them, even the company's executives may not be able to recognize them, and their existence has nothing to do with the overall situation, where do you need to pay attention to them in particular time-consuming and laborious? Shen Ying replied immediately.
"You're right, this is the so-called grasping the big and letting go of the small, that is, the essence of the market economy." Fan Wuxian nodded and replied, "As a local government, the mayor's energy is limited, so he needs to use limited energy to ensure the stable growth of the main forces of the local economy, and local large enterprises are naturally the priority objects. It is precisely because of this that the little people are doing things. will be told to go to the market, and the big man is qualified to go to the mayor when he is doing business. This statement itself is just a propaganda slogan to find an excuse to reduce trouble. ”
"Sounds like there's some truth?" Shen Ying hesitated a little, and for a while she hadn't found the true purpose of Fan Wuxie's words.
Fan Wuxi took a sip of coffee, he had some research on this issue, and he had seen it more thoroughly.
Some people once advocated that it is better to find the mayor than to find the market, and this sentence once became a propaganda slogan for advocating a market economy in China.
For example, when there is a problem in an enterprise, this sentence can be used to reduce the responsibility of the government, when college graduates cannot find employment, this sentence can be used to get rid of the responsibility of the school and the government, and when the farmers' grain and vegetables cannot be sold, this sentence can also be used to get rid of the responsibility that governments at all levels should bear.
All in all, it's a panacea.
However, the question arises, where is the role of the government?
What role should the government, as a government that is supported by taxpayers' taxes, assume in society? This is the first thing to figure out. If I have to go to the market for any problem, why should I pay taxes? Anyway, it's up to me if something happens. Why spend so much time trying to support a group of civil servants who don't do anything?
In fact, the market is far less reliable than the mayor.
When companies are in despair, the market usually falls into the ground, and it is often the mayor who comes to the rescue.
The market pays attention to the survival of the fittest, and does not sympathize with the weak, while the mayor is worried about grasping the big and letting go of the small, too big to fail, and the big ones will not fall. Of course, if you want to tie up the big tree of the mayor, you must first expand the scale of the enterprise, then go public for financing, and then lend huge sums of money from many banks to use locally.
Ideally, there is a mutual insurance relationship with a number of unrelated enterprises in the same city, forming a guarantee circle, the more mutual insurance enterprises the better, and the larger the total amount of guarantees, the better. If you can cultivate to this realm, if something goes wrong, you don't need to go to the mayor, and the mayor will naturally come to you in a hurry.
There are actually many examples of this kind, and Fan Wuxi is also very familiar with this routine.
Just as an example, as Shandong Juli, this listed company in Weifang has received special attention from the mayor. It has lost more than 300 million yuan in the past two years, with a debt ratio of more than 70 percent, and the code has become *ST Juli, which is dying and has the possibility of delisting at any time.
However, Juli Company and two other listed companies in Weifang, Jade Bird Huaguang and Shandong Hailong, have signed mutual insurance agreements of 100 million yuan and 80 million yuan respectively, and some of the guaranteed loans have been overdue. If Juli dies, Huaguang and Hailong will be implicated, and Huaguang, who has lost more than 100 million yuan, may even be dragged down.
There are only five listed companies in Weifang. The consequences of five to the other, no mayor can sit still.
Therefore, the mayor personally served as the leader of the reorganization team, and two deputy mayors were the deputy leaders to ensure that the reorganization was completed within a certain time limit. With the coordination of the local government, the bank has agreed to extend the loan for one year.
Similar stories have happened in Chongqing, Xinjiang, Shanghai and other places. Under the government's inquiry, it is said that some creditor banks have suspended the prosecution of several listed companies in the guarantee circle in Fuling District, and the total amount of external guarantees for these four companies is about 2 billion yuan.
"The local government has limited financial resources, and when it really encounters difficulties, it will only try to protect the local lineage. When an enterprise reaches a certain scale, it will want to go out and set up factories in other places. Experience has proved that many companies are vulnerable when they are on the surface. Just like Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, who was called a rogue, it is easy to lose his roots after leaving the country, especially for some enterprises that are already dependent on official resources. Fan Wuxian explained to Shen Ying, "Let's empathize, if you are the mayor, the company lends a huge amount of money from local banks, focuses on investing in other places, and the business is doing well, then there is nothing to say, in case of loss and local factories and banks, what will you think?" Will it support local banks to immediately suspend loans, collect debts, or even apply to the court for asset preservation? Let's say a lot of real money needs to be shelled out to save this business. Do you pay, or do you pay for it? ”
Seeing that Shen Ying nodded in agreement, Fan Wuxian said again, "For example, in the Kelon incident, the local government was reluctant to express its position. It is estimated that Gu Xiaojun acquired Huayi, Meiling, Yaxing, Weili and other enterprises in other places, and built home appliance factories in Hangzhou, Shangqiu, Zhuhai, Yangzhou, Nanchang and other places, which made Shunde people heartbroken. To collect back the money flowing out of the local bank, Boss Gu could only abdicate. The hop company, the protagonist of the guarantee circle of listed companies in Xinjiang, guarantees 1.8 billion yuan to the outside world and is insolvent of more than 1.1 billion yuan, but it can survive the catastrophe because it is rooted in the local area. Then Delong, which also belongs to Xinjiang, is different. They have gone out of Xinjiang, and the industry is all over the country, which mayor can manage so widely? ”
The Chinese have experienced more than 2,000 years of agricultural society and engaged in a planned economy for several decades; under the influence of the long-term agricultural economy and the planned economy, the Chinese have cultivated the values that are compatible with it, and since the reform and opening up, with the development of the market economy, the traditional values of the Chinese have been greatly impacted.
Under the market economic and social form, the civic consciousness of members of society has been gradually strengthened, individuals consciously and independently choose their own behavior, no longer pin their hopes on virtuous and honest officials, and are more and more able to handle the interests of individuals and others and social organizations with a fair attitude, and have more and more clear sense of contract, hoping to deal with the interests of people and social organizations through legal means.
The ability of the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy in the agrarian society to resist natural disasters is low, and the peasants often feel that it is difficult to grasp their own destiny in life, so they have the consciousness of grass people, pinning their fate on the Ming monarch and the Qing officials, and lack the sense of independence, therefore, the lack of autonomy in the value system of the small peasants.
Due to the small number of economic exchanges, the contradictions and conflicts of interests of ordinary members of society are relatively few and small, and the relationship between acquaintances with each other, it is impossible to develop a rational, calculating, fair and reasonable way of dividing interests, so it is necessary to give more prominence to the overall interests of the family and the family, and emphasize tolerance in the general conflict of interests, and to strive for peace has become the basic rational value attitude of the Chinese in handling the relationship of interests.
In such a living environment, there is no soil for the growth of the concept of individual legitimate interests and legitimate rights, and the right to possess personal property as an individual's legitimate interests and legitimate rights cannot be recognized by social principles and laws, which is completely different from the social natural law basis in which private property is sacred and inviolable in Western society.
The natural economy and society have shaped the grass people, but the market economy needs citizens to be the main body, which creates a contradiction.
Citizens are self-conscious people, and in a market economy society, every member of society must independently face social competition. The competition in society requires that members of society must face up to the major choices of their lives at all times.
However, thousands of years of agricultural civilization have shaped the grass consciousness of the Chinese, and the construction of socialist society should have enhanced the civic consciousness of members of society, but the planned economy and the accompanying government and collective responsibility in social life have further stimulated the grass consciousness of members of society, and the advocacy of false collectivist concepts has hyped up the so-called paving stone spirit and nail spirit.
The reform of the market economic system has made many members of society feel that they have no master, and many laid-off workers feel that they have been abandoned by society, have no basis for survival, and have no backbone. This is the fundamental difference between a grass farmer and a citizen.
"The market economy is premised on the recognition of the rationality of individual self-interest, and it is not difficult for people to accept the rationality of individual self-interest, even in traditional Chinese society, the society does not recognize the rationality of individual self-interest, in fact, people cannot fail to recognize the self-interest of the individual in their hearts." Fan Wuxian said to Shen Ying, "The reform of the market economy system, the recognition of the rationality of individual self-interest, the deep down of the Chinese people are suppressed by traditional principles, and the desire to pursue personal self-interest, like the devil in a bottle, is suddenly released, and begins to stir up wind and waves, and in social life, the pursuit of personal self-interest is like a flood that bursts the embankment and begins to flood, and its means are often worse than people imagine." People believe that the market economy has released the demon of selfishness, and some people have attacked the reform of the market economy system, and some people have pinned their hopes on promoting traditional morality and stifling the demon of pursuing personal interests by unscrupulous means, but in fact, the market economy's recognition of the rationality of personal interests is not necessarily related to the pursuit of personal interests by unscrupulous means. The relationship between the interests of people and social organizations. ”
Shen Ying nodded after hearing this, she never thought that Fan Wuxian had such a deep understanding of this issue, and she thought that it should not be something she learned in school, but an experience over the years.
In fact, with the deepening of the reform of the market economic system, the Chinese not only recognize the rationality of individual self-interest in the concept of lun theory, but also treat the interest relationship between people and people and between people and social organizations more and more rationally, and the change of moral concepts has been reflected in the guidance of legislation, and people no longer blame the flood of personal self-interest on the market economy and the recognition of personal interests. Gradually, it has been realized that the most powerful curbing against the unscrupulous pursuit of personal interests is to recognize the moral rationality of legitimate personal interests, and to recognize that only by rationally and justly dividing the interests of people and between people and social organizations will individuals gradually eliminate the unscrupulous pursuit of personal interests.
"All in all, it is the disconnect between the market economy system and the education of the people in the country that has caused many problems." Fan Wuxian finally said to Shen Ying, "The foolish policy sometimes has an effect, but it will also cause a lot of trouble, and it will only be seen when you need a headache." ”
There are no pop-ups
