The Shang layer began to emphasize macroeconomic regulation and control in a targeted manner. But the direction of the year is indeed a pity for enterprises.

However, in the recent stage, the expansion of private enterprises is indeed relatively rapid, and it is no wonder that there will be some exaggerated atmosphere, coupled with the local government officials for various purposes, often encourage these private entrepreneurs to work hard, and often ask for billions or even billions of dollars in large projects. Finally caused the economy to overheat.

The first to be hit was the electrolytic aluminum project. At present, according to the news obtained by Fan Wuji, the Baotou project and the Sanmenxia project of the Eastern Group have been ordered to be suspended. Officials from the Metallurgical Division of the Industrial Department of the State Reform Commission said that many of their approval procedures were incomplete. Violation of relevant national laws. The relevant state departments have stopped Dongfang Hope's electrolytic aluminum project in Baotou, and the Sanmenxia alumina project, which provides upstream products for Baotou, has also been suspended for review. ”

As in previous macroeconomic controls, there will always be some people who will become unlucky flag worshippers, as has appeared in the previous decades. Nian Guangjiu, "Eight Kings of Wenzhou", etc., now another name has been added to the list of unlucky people. It is Dai Guofang, who is working hard by the Yangtze River.

Then, dramatically, Dai Guofang's entry into the "eye of the storm" of this regulatory storm was an accident.

At the beginning of the year, several Xinhua News Agency reporters conducted research in Jiangsu, and their research topic was the land occupied by golf courses and university towns built in various places. In an interview in Nanjing, an expert accidentally said that there was a company in Changzhou that was building a steel mill on the Yangtze River.

The reporter intuitively believes that a large amount of land will be needed to build a steel mill, and there may also be the problem of illegal occupation. They called the Ministry of Land and Resources, and the reply was that the ministry was not aware of the project.

So, the reporters turned their heads to Changzhou and looked for the steel mill construction site along the river.

A few days later, an article entitled "Three Thousand Mu of Land Before Acquisition." The internal reference materials of "Environmental Protection Review Before Approval" were handed to the central high-level.

Soon after, the National Reform Commission, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and the State Environmental Protection Administration sent an investigation team to Changzhou.

Since last year, there has been a "heavy-duty movement" in private enterprises in full swing

The so-called heavy lifting movement is a boom in investment that focuses on heavy industry.

Forty-one-year-old Dai Guofang once stood on the embankment on the south bank of the Yangtze River and told reporters in Mandarin with a strong southern Jiangsu accent, "Tieben will cross Baosteel in three years and catch up with Pohang in five years." ”

When he said this, he never imagined that a year later, things would take a turn for the worse. Baosteel and POSCO are the two largest steel mills in China and South Korea, respectively, ranking fifth and third in the world. Dai Guofang, who has only a primary school education, plans to build a large steel plant with an annual output of 8.4 million tons on the Yangtze River.

Dai Guofang is actually a bitter child, this is a bitter child who grew out of the grass, when he was twelve years old. Because his family was too poor, he had to learn to make a living, and his first job was to pick up scrap copper and rotten iron. He seems to have a special flair for business, 1996. Dai Guofang registered and established Jiangsu Tieben Steel Casting Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 2 million yuan. The meaning is to start with iron and not leave the industry.

By about 2,000 years, the factory had expanded to 18 hectares, with more than 1,000 workers, and he was ranked 376th on the New Fortune list of China's 400 richest people that year. The estimated net worth is 220 million yuan.

In recent years, with the sustained high growth of the macro economy, steel prices have generally continued to rise. At the entrance of the iron factory, large trucks from all over the country line up every day, waiting to pick up the goods. Such a sight occurs every day.

According to Dai Guofang's estimates, the domestic steel boom will continue for at least five to six years, and he decided to build a larger steel plant.

Tieben's new Jirong Primary School has received enthusiastic support from the Changzhou Municipal Government. In the eyes of many officials in Changzhou, Dai Guofang is a person worthy of trust. He lived a very frugal life, all the family's savings were invested in the factory, and his father and stepmother have been growing vegetables in the countryside for a living.

In the beginning, Dai Guofang's vision was not as grand as it was later.

However, the construction of large projects is the best way to pull the dencture, and it is also the best way to increase the political performance, driven by the enthusiasm of the officials. In just six months, the scale of the project has increased from 2 million tons at the beginning to 8.4 million tons, the scale of the project has increased from 2,000 mu to nearly 10,000 mu, and the estimated project budget has also risen to 10 billion yuan.

At this time, Tieben's fixed assets were 1.2 billion yuan, and its net assets were less than 700 million yuan.

To start a 10 billion yuan project with such a capital scale is undoubtedly a small horse-drawn cart.

However, Dai Guofang said to his subordinates, "The local government is so supportive, where can I find such a good opportunity?" "The experience of wandering books and showing fine Gong Sichi and Siqing is different, and there are many nightmares

It was also after confirming the message of government support. The local bank boldly lent money to Tieben, and it obtained a bank credit of 4.4 billion yuan at once.

It is very difficult for a private enterprise to start a steel project with an investment of tens of billions of yuan and an area of nearly 10,000 mu to obtain the approval of the relevant central departments.

China's economic reform has always had a tradition of "breaking through", and the people of Changzhou have also tried to "break through" the means of "breaking through" in the Tieben project, and the 8.4 million tons project of Tieben has been split into seven sub-projects and a wharf project to be reported separately, and Tieben has accordingly set up seven "Sino-foreign joint venture companies" in the examination and approval of the warrants for construction land. The land was "broken into parts" and divided into 14 land applications.

The Economic Exhibition Bureau of Changzhou High-tech Zone, where the project is located, approved all infrastructure projects within one day.

Dai Guofang later told reporters in the detention center, "At that time, all the formalities were handled by the government, and we didn't ask about these things." When the government said it was okay to move, we started work

Of course, macroeconomic regulation and control is a last resort, and Dai Guofang is not the only one who forces the top to use this method. He is clearly not the only private entrepreneur to enter the steel industry.

In the same year, Guo Guangchang of Shanghai Fosun was also planning to build a steel plant in Ningbo, Xijiang.

And in other areas. Liu Yongxing of the Liu family in Sichuan announced in Baotou that Oriental Hope Group will invest 10 billion yuan to build a million-ton aluminum and electricity integration project here.

This is a heavy-duty movement of private enterprises. Many years later, it is still being talked about, and the wheels of the market seem to be grinding towards a hard monopoly.

You know, over the past twenty years. In 1987 and 1996, China's private capital forces made two unsuccessful attempts to break through the barriers of ownership. This year's heavy-duty campaign is the third and most powerful collective charge.

In response to this painful situation, a magazine wrote in a comment that "when people see that Shun and China's new industrialization are docking in due course." While the spirit of private entrepreneurship and private capital are injected into China's heavy industry, people no longer doubt that private enterprises in the field of heavy industry will refresh the strongest camp of China's private enterprises in the next few years, and this round of new industrial movement with market-oriented forces as the main motive will give birth to China's first batch of heavy industry giants who are not officials, are not appointed or dismissed by the government, and only take credit for the market. ”

However, it is clear that this commentary, when read in the future, is like a dream in a previous life. All that was left was gasp.

In the context of macroeconomic regulation and control, the problem of Tieben quickly changed from destroying land to illegal construction.

The cover is printed by the book, such as the book friend uploaded

Dai Guofang, who was in the whirlpool of events, began to become restless, and he himself did not know. How things could get worse and worse. In those days he was running around the construction site all day, according to his budget. The first blast furnace of the steel mill will soon be built. It can be put into production immediately, and at that time the raw rice will be cooked and matured, so there is no need to worry.

He said to his subordinates, such a big project. It is built when it is built, and at most it is impossible to tear it down with a fine.

However, the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.

Since the notice of the State Council, the investment in heavy chemical industry projects in various places has not cooled down.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the country's fixed asset investment in the first quarter still increased by more than 40% year-on-year, the highest growth rate since the mid-90s, and the investment growth rate in the steel industry was as high as a staggering 107%. At this time, a number of major suspects such as illegal occupation and illegal construction surfaced and became the most suitable and typical punishment object.

In the face of a huge investigation, Dai Guofang, who has never dealt with a big scene, is in chaos. He and his advisers naively thought. The problem of iron money may be able to settle the problem. Thereupon. He submitted a self-examination report to his superiors. It said that the company was investigated by the relevant state departments for illegal investment and illegal land use, and carried out a self-financial inspection, and the illegal problems in the business process were revealed, and since the establishment of the company in 20000 years, the company purchased scrap steel worth more than 1 billion yuan from Changzhou Material Recycling Company and Wujin Material Recycling Co., Ltd. Among them, nearly 200 million yuan were falsely invoiced. The tax deduction amount is nearly 20 million yuan, and the legal representative Dai Guofang should bear the relevant responsibilities for negligence in management.

This self-examination report in order to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters. It was Dai Guofang's last effort to save Tieben. He quickly paid the deduction to the local IRS.

To his surprise, it was this self-examination report that became the most powerful evidence for the procuratorate's accusations.

Changzhou City, which was under great pressure, formed a leading group for the clean-up of the iron project and issued an emergency stoppage order.

Soon, the leaders of the State Council arrived in Suzhou, and the secretary of the Changzhou Municipal Party Committee and the mayor of Changzhou were summoned to report on the Tieben project and the problems it raised. Then, a special inspection team composed of nine ministries and commissions rushed to Changzhou to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Tieben project.

This is the second time since the "Liushi Incident" in Wenzhou in 1991 that the central ministries and commissions have carried out an unprecedented joint action against a local project.

Then, Dai Guofang, his wife, father-in-law and others were taken away by the police on suspicion of tax evasion, and the amount may be huge.

Then, the nine ministries and commissions reported on the investigation and punishment at the executive meeting of the State Council, and they believed that this was a typical major case of serious dereliction of duty and violation of laws and regulations by local governments and relevant departments, and enterprises suspected of violating the law and committing crimes.

The next day, Xinhua News Agency broadcast a press release to the whole country. The five major problems identified by the joint investigation team were listed: the local government and relevant departments seriously violated relevant national laws and regulations, and exceeded their authority to separate and approve projects with an investment of up to 10.6 billion yuan in 22 times; 6,541 acres of land were requisitioned in violation of regulations, and the demolition was carried out in violation of regulations; The company defrauded banks of credit and loans by providing false financial statements, and misappropriated more than 2 billion yuan of bank working capital loans for fixed asset investment; Relevant financial institutions have seriously violated the national regulations on loan approval and cash management of fixed asset loans; Iron company has a large number of tax evasions.

The administrative handling of the Tieben incident was also unprecedented, with eight government leaders and bank officials severely punished. Thereinto. The secretary of the Changzhou Municipal Party Committee was given a serious warning from within the party; The deputy director of the Changzhou Municipal People's Congress was dismissed and given party probation; The secretary of the Yangzhong Municipal Party Committee was dismissed; The deputy director of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Land and Resources, the deputy director of the Provincial Reform Commission, and the president of the Changzhou branch of the Bank of China were removed from their posts or ordered to resign, and Dai Guofang's family property was seized.

Fan Heng after dealing with these things. When I returned home, I mentioned it to Fan Wuxi.

"Actually, this matter is not without the encouragement of local officials," Fan Wuxian listened to. Immediately grasped the most crucial thing, "local government officials can do anything for the sake of political performance, for the sake of notches." This is to be expected. ”

Another point, naturally the domestic real estate market is developing rapidly, so the demand for steel is very large, taking advantage of this good time, everyone wants to take the first step and seize the market, so there is this time of the private enterprise heavy movement, in fact, everyone wants to squeeze out the traditional state-owned enterprise market.

"But in this case, there is a real problem with the company." Fan Heng also needs to point out other problems here: "Illegal projects are illegal projects, and no matter how much local government officials instigate them, entrepreneurs themselves do not have the awareness to abide by the law, which leads to the ultimate consequences." ”

But then again, if the local officials encourage entrepreneurs to take on big projects, and offer land and loans, and no one can resist the temptation, they will have the courage not to make money, and they will not have the courage to refuse the officials' good intentions. Affect people's political performance, right? Fan Wuxian went deep into exposing the influence of officials on local private enterprises.

In fact, it is true that if you want to make a big show in the local area, it is not possible to get the support of government officials, after all, there are not many domestic enterprises like Fan's Investment Group, and there is no need to worry about the problem of exhibition funds.

As long as you ask for something, you will inevitably be caressed by someone, and once something happens, no one can run.

It's just that Fan Wuxian thinks that this matter is above. Local government responsibilities account for eighty percent, and entrepreneurs can only account for two percent at most.

However, he also understood that this was the practice of killing chickens to show monkeys, and someone always had to come out and be sacrificed. "Today's first update delivers... As soon as the cat pounced, there was no pop-up window
