Chapter 446: Fighting
It is not impossible for state-owned enterprises to be cleared, but the country that has been supported, in addition to relying on Fengzhou. The bigger and stronger they become, the more harmful they are to the country, the less beneficial they are to the people, and only a small number of interest groups are profitable.
China Mobile is a prime example. When China Mobile was dominant, phone bills were as high as the moon in the sky. After the emergence of China Unicom, the phone bill fell again and again, while the number of mobile phone users increased rapidly, and finally made China the world's largest mobile phone country.
If it weren't for the real competition brought by China Unicom, China Mobile would still refuse to lower its arrogant head, dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, and charging a high phone bill of a few cents per minute. But the service attitude is very poor, and the customer has an exclusive spirit of giving up who I am.
The root cause of the inferiority of China's state-owned enterprises is that they want to rely on monopoly to ensure their income early, they want the state's policy support, and they want to be semi-official and semi-enterprise companies, which can be both referees and athletes.
Everyone wants to be a company like the tax bureau, and they will make money naturally by doing business as if they were collecting taxes.
The attitude of the company is to leave me. You can't live. So you have to do whatever I say.
For example, the gas company, such as the water supply company and the power company, such as the most hated Sinopec and PetroChina, are all large state-owned enterprises supported by the state, what is the result? As a result, all the large state-owned enterprises are shouting about losses every year, but their employees' incomes are the highest. The people of the whole country are fish on the board, and all the state-owned enterprises are holding up butcher knives and want to cut an extra piece of meat.
Compared with later, Xia Xiang is more willing to introduce foreign capital and enter the competition mechanism, otherwise the bigger the industry, the more the people will suffer, and the more interest groups will benefit, which is not a benign way of market development.
"The lifeblood of the country and some key industries are naturally in the hands of state-owned enterprises, but the introduction of foreign capital is also a necessary way to open up. Because we have not only foreign capital, but also advanced management experience and technology. In particular, backwardness in advanced technology is backwardness in science and technology. As soon as science and technology lag behind, the country's competitiveness will be reduced, and backwardness will be beaten, and Confucianism immediately refuted Cheng Xixue's views. "It's all age. You are still closed off from the country, and listening to what you just said, I thought I was back before the liberation. ”
Gao Ru's words caused everyone around him to laugh.
Cheng Xixue's face changed slightly, but he still calmed down and said: "As Minister Yi said just now, who dares to guarantee that the introduction of foreign capital is not a trap?" If you introduce funds but lose your own brand, is it a cost-effective business or a loss-making business, how should this account be calculated? I won't give other examples to talk about Sinopec, Sinopec is a wholly state-owned enterprise, now it is developing rapidly, it has only been established for a few years, and now it has become a global purchasing enterprise, which shows that with our own strength, we can also achieve a large group. ”
Xia Xiang glanced at Cheng Xixue deeply, "Guess, is Cheng Xixue the spokesperson of Sinopec's interests?" Also, if you want to say which monopoly industry in China is most afraid of entering the competition mechanism, it is Sinopec and PetroChina.
As the largest monopoly enterprise in China, and a profiteering company that has never only raised prices but not decreased, Xia Xiang has personal experience. He had two cars in his later life, the first one was purchased by the year, it was a small displacement car, and the price of oil at that time was a small yuan per liter, and a tank of fuel could not be used, Tian Yuan. I remember that once he drove from Yanshi to Bashang, and traveled many kilometers back and forth to Xinkou before using Phantom Liter Oil. It's not yet, Tian Yuan oil money. Later, after changing to a second large-displacement car. The price of oil climbed all the way from 2 yuan to 3 yuan, until it was more than 6 yuan, and he went back to a single city. It costs a lot of money to go back and forth. In addition to the factors of large displacement and high fuel consumption, it has also increased more than three times.
So much so that after the rise of private cars. Many people are beginning to lament that they can't afford to burn oil.
Of course, the most gnashing of teeth is the so-called policy of the two major oil companies linked to international oil prices, which is ostensibly fair, but in fact, international oil prices rise today, and domestic oil prices rise tomorrow. However, the price of the mother oil has been falling for half a month, and the domestic oil price has often not moved. Generally speaking, in this case, all the monopoly companies in the country have the same rhetoric, as long as it is beneficial to them, that is, how to do it according to international practice. Anything that is unfavorable to them will be prevaricated by China's national conditions
Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled, and asked Cheng Xixue: "May I ask Professor Cheng, when you are usually at home, if the air is stuffy, will you open the window to enjoy the cool?" ”
Cheng Xixue was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Xia Xiang meant. But he replied, "Of course!" "And what if you open the window and let in flies and mosquitoes?" Xia Xiang continued to ask, smiling knowingly and glancing at Bu Ru.
Bu Ru smiled but did not speak, only nodded.
%, stone
Flies and mosquitoes are inevitable, and you can't just open the window to enjoy the cool because there are flies and mosquitoes outside Cheng Xixue has not yet reacted to the meaning of Xia Xiang's question, and said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Gone, Professor Cheng is still very reasonable. In the midst of foreign investment, there are breezes and traps. You can't just because there are traps, you don't bring in the breeze Xia Xiang took the opportunity to say, "The key is to have a good screen, only put in the breeze, and keep flies and mosquitoes out." As for those companies that fall into the trap, they can't blame foreign capital for setting traps, but only blame themselves for being incompetent or too greedy. Because even if there is a trap, it is voluntarily jumped in, and no one forced it to jump. ”
Xia Xiang's words attracted many people to nod in agreement.
"It makes sense, you can't waste food because of choking."
"Yes, signing the contract is originally a matter for both parties, and since you have signed the agreement, you have to do things according to the contract. I can't find the trap on the contract, "I can't blame the foreigner for being too stupid, and I can't blame the foreigner".
Cheng Xixue was introduced into a trap by Xia Xiang, and she was not angry, she just shook her head and smiled: "This metaphor is too taken for granted, it is more child's play, and it is not worth refuting." I would like to ask you, what does Sinopec say about its success? ”
"Sinopec's success is not worth refuting." Xia Xiang also smiled calmly, "As you just said, the success of monopolizing state-owned enterprises is too child's play and is not worth mentioning." The state gives money to the policy. I want everyone here, who is the boss of Petrol. Anyone can be a man of the hour. Because there is no other branch here, if you want to refuel, you have to find me. There is no choice. In this case, the cost of a dollar can be sold for a dollar, how can it not be profitable? The people of the whole country give me a penny each, and in the blink of an eye, I can create a multimillionaire. ”
Another burst of laughter.
It is no wonder that all the experts and scholars here are rich in learning. But usually more serious than lively, Xia Xiang gives vivid examples, speaks easily, and can't help but laugh.
Xia Xiang also echoed and smiled. He added: "I have a way to create a company that makes a thousand times more money than Sinopec in one minute, as long as the policy allows." ”
Cheng Xixue suddenly said mockingly: "Children, use your brain to speak, don't open your mouth to come, it's not easy to end up." I'd like to hear your opinion, even if you have a policy, how can you make a big company in a minute? What else do you say is a thousand times more profitable than Sinopec. Listen, it's like a child's house."
The crowd also laughed out loud.
Bu Ru's face was not very good-looking, he glared at Xia Xiang unhappily, and complained that Xia Xiang wanted to talk nonsense, he had just gained the upper hand, but as soon as the words just came out, he fell down again.
Everyone also expressed their opinions.
"Xiao Young, your words are too boundless. Speak. It's better to be cautious
"All of you here are experts in economics, and you have studied economics for many years. It is also necessary to divide the occasion. ”
"I've been doing economic research for decades, and I never knew what could be so profitable? Is it allowed by policy? No matter how strong the policy is, it is impossible for you to make such a profit! ”
"Nonsense, nonsense."
Even Yi Xiangshi glanced at Xia Xiang with a worried face.
Xia Xiang smiled calmly and said, "Experts, I'm just making an analogy, I can't take it seriously. Just to illustrate the harm of monopoly. Oil is currently the largest energy source known to mankind and the most used energy source in daily life. That's why monopoly generates huge profits. The more things that are closely related to human beings. As long as you charge a fee, you can generate huge profits, of course, if you don't care about human life or death. If any country has a policy. The establishment of an air company, the declaration of air as the property of the state, anyone who breathes a breath of air has to pay a certain fee to use gasoline one by one after all is a minority, no money can be used less or not used, but everyone needs air If this is the case, I think the economic benefits generated by the air company in one minute are probably more than a thousand times more than Sinopec."
Xia Xiang's words were naturally said in a half-joking tone, but as soon as he finished speaking, none of the experts and scholars present laughed, all of them were solemn and thoughtful.
Xia Xiang's words are really not exaggerated, if there is really such a day, what is Sinopec? Air will be the world's largest profiteering company! Because everybody needs air, and if you don't breathe, you're going to die. In the face of death, money is nothing!
Of course, it is only an assumption, and this is a policy that cannot be implemented unless any country wants to bring about its own destruction. But this metaphor vividly illustrates the dangers of the Kui Xuan, if the technology has developed to the point that a superpower can build a huge satellite that blocks the sun, they only need to put the satellite in the sky and collect a sun tax from all countries, and whoever does not pay the tax will use the satellite to permanently block a country into the night. In this case, monopoly is forced to comply.
It's just that the air company that Xia Xiang said is a domineering coercion, and a base company like Sinopec is a soft knife coercion. Unless you don't drive, you have to fuel them when you drive. High oil prices are a fact. But I didn't force you to use it, did I? You volunteered to pay for it. And no one has a gun to your head.
The metaphors are different, but the truth is the same. The windfall profits generated by the base break do not go to the market to ask for benefits, but use benefits to regulate the market, and there are no competitors. There is no cost pressure, there is no supervision mechanism, you can make money as you want, and if the country is full of state-owned enterprises that use policies to make money, it is actually extremely unwise to commit suicide.
Cheng Xixue sneered a few times and wanted to say something. I felt that it would be a loss of identity to continue debating with Xia Xiang, so I only said: "It's just a strong word." ”
Xia Xiang has always had little affection for the spokespersons of interest groups, especially the spokespersons of the base-based interest groups, most of whom are still semi-official, and they are much more powerful than celebrities who simply advertise real estate, medicine, or a certain product. Celebrities only do advertising, but they are experts and scholars. It has mastered a part of the propaganda machine and carried out a subtle influence of brainwashing, which is extremely hidden.
Xia Xiang didn't speak, and Bu Ru took over. said: "In fact, the symposium is a debate with strong words, and in other words, it is just talk on paper. In theory, I feel that I am the most correct, and only when I put it in practice can I finally distinguish the winner from the loser.
Ten thousand corpses
Professor Cheng, I have read your masterpiece, and most of my views dare not agree with you and feel that your statement is untenable. Don't hold back.
Cheng Xixue laughed: "I'm waiting for the rebuttal article to appear, otherwise I wouldn't be a big guest after singing alone?" Okay, I'll wait to read your masterpiece, and I won't be disappointed!"
The two of you say a word to me, the tone is normal, and the smile is still on the face, but in fact, it is also a sword and sword, and in the blink of an eye, there have been several rounds.
Yi Xiangshi pretended not to hear, because he was used to the debates between academics, and he knew better that behind the experts and scholars were different interest groups, political groups or economic groups, all of which had their own interests, which was normal.
However, he still didn't want to see the two of them talking endlessly, so he interjected: "Remind everyone, don't go off-topic, today's topic is to ask Comrade Xia Xiang to explain for us how to deal with foreign businessmen." How to better find favorable points in the negotiation of introducing foreign capital. There's still a little time to ask you any questions. You can continue to ask Comrade Xia Xiang questions
An old man with silver hair asked with a smile: "Comrade Xia Xiang, I want to ask you, do you think of your negotiation with Kodak." A bit adventurous? Dealing with Americans, the Chinese, who are a country of etiquette, still can't lose their etiquette and let them look down on us. We should be justified. Advance and retreat decently, not play intrigues" I don't think your negotiation method is advisable. ”
"Regardless of the black cat or white cat, catching the mouse is a good cat Xia Xiang smiled indifferently, "Our politeness is not to forbear, let alone to retreat, the benefits we should get, insist on not relaxing." In addition, in the negotiations, we should also pay attention to not getting tired of deceit, and only by combining the virtual with the real can we achieve unexpected results
Xia Xiang failed to convince the silver-haired old man, he shook his head and said: "Honest negotiation is the right reason, your method is too risky and undesirable." ”
A female scholar who was many years old next to the old man said: "Niu Lao's words are reasonable, but I also think that Comrade Xia Xiang's approach also has merit, negotiation is a process of testing each other's bottom line, no matter what method is used, the goal can be achieved." ”
The two have different adherents, which sparked a series of heated discussions.
Xia Xiang didn't join their camp either. Sitting on the side, I talked to Yi Xiangshi for a while. At the end of the meeting, Cheng Xixue glanced at Xia Xiang meaningfully and said: "Xia Xiang, you are a firm supporter of foreign investment and a promoter of industrial restructuring, so you really put your own future on it and don't plan to turn back."
"Thank you Professor Cheng for the reminder. I think everything is fine at the moment, and there is no need to go back, Xia Xiang replied without being overbearing.
"My attitude is that it is okay to attract investment, but it should also focus on supporting state-owned enterprises, and the introduction of foreign capital should not have any adverse impact on state-owned enterprises. I do not comment on your negotiation skills, but I do oppose the work of industrial restructuring that you have promoted. I'll do my best. Stop you from causing the loss of state-owned assets. Through the media or other channels, I will spare no effort to promote my views, and I believe that one day, you will fail in my efforts. Cheng Xixue said in a light but confident tone.
Xia Xiang also smiled lightly, and replied calmly: "Although I think I am a shallow learner, I always think that everything Wu has done is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. That's why I'm going to do my best and try to do everything well," and of course, the pressure to meet you. ”
Cheng Xixue laughed secretly, ridiculing Xia Xiang for not having knowledge, not knowing what kind of opponent he was going to face, thinking about it, he still didn't bother to say more. It was as if he was bullying him for the rest of his life, but he only said at the end: "Everyone will think that what they are doing is right, but time will tell." Young man, you are doing it yourself. ”
"I will, thank you for your kindness." Xia Xiang still did not change his attitude.
At the end of the symposium, after Yi Xiangshi's speech, many experts and scholars dispersed one after another. Xia Xiang also knew that it was impossible for a symposium to change many people's opinions, but it also affected the thinking of some enlightened experts and scholars, and Xia Xiang was still deeply pleased to see that they still accepted some of his own views.
It's just that the Cheng Xixue incident unexpectedly appeared, which made him faintly worried in his heart. Cheng Xixue is not an ordinary scholar, as a professor at CUHK, he is also the spokesperson of certain interest groups, and may even be an economic adviser to a high-level executive, whose opinions represent both his own views and the insinuation of a certain high-level executive.
The adjustment of the industrial structure, from point to area, from part to whole, has finally touched the interests of the family members in the upper echelons, and the political struggle has always been an extension of the economic struggle. There's even more of a good show going on.
After everyone left, Xia Xiang glanced at Bu Ru and waited for his arrangement. Yi Xiangshi went out to send people off, before leaving. didn't care about talking to Xia Xiang.
Bu Ru thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing." Let's go too
