466 Industrial Lottery
Lottery this kind of thing,At that time in China has appeared,It's just that the name is not called the lottery,This may be because of the limitations of ideology,Intentionally avoid using the name of "lottery" with the color of the market economy. According to research, as early as 1984, Beijing and Fujian issued sports lottery tickets respectively; In 1987, the predecessor of the China Welfare Lottery, the China Social Welfare Lottery Lottery Lottery Coupons, was officially issued.
The officials here naturally know about the lottery, for Lin Zhenhua's suggestion, everyone was stunned, felt that something was inappropriate, but said it. The fastest reaction was none other than Xu Yi, who pursed his lips slightly, with a mocking smile on his face.
Xu Yi's small action did not escape He Haifeng's eyes, he nodded to Xu Yi with a smile, and said, "Xiao Xu, I see that you seem to have some different opinions on Xiao Lin's proposal, do you want to tell everyone?" ”
Xu Yi was deflated by He Haifeng just now, and his heart was a little unbalanced, and when he heard He Haifeng call him to think about it, he was not polite, and said in a strange manner: "I heard that Manager Lin has some talent in industry, but when it comes to macroeconomics, there may be some things that don't know much about the situation." Of course, no one is perfect, and no one understands everything. ”
Xu Yi's words were obviously accompanied by some indignation. However, with so many officials with higher positions than him present, he dared to be so embarrassed by a small director, which made other officials, including He Haifeng, feel a little bad for him, and felt that this young cadre was really too ignorant.
He Haifeng also frowned slightly, but instead of directly reprimanding Xu Yi, he nodded and said, "Well, then you can tell me what he doesn't know enough about the situation." ”
Xu Yi said: "Manager Lin proposed to issue lottery tickets to revitalize the industry. is completely ignorant of the role of lotteries. As a tool to raise funds, lotteries are used for public welfare projects. For example, social welfare, sports, and so on. Because these projects do not generate economic returns, they cannot provide returns to investors after the fact, and they cannot be financed with financial instruments. But industry is different, there is a return on industry, and such a rewarding project should use stocks, bonds, and other means to raise funds, which is also a very mature means used by Western market economy countries. ”
As soon as Xu Yi said this, everyone had a feeling of sudden realization. When I heard Lin Zhenhua talk about the lottery just now. Everyone thinks there is a problem,That's it.,I've heard of the sports lottery.,I've heard of the welfare lottery.,It seems that I haven't heard of the industrial lottery.。 Listening to Xu Yi's explanation, it seems to make some sense.
Lin Zhenhua also felt embarrassed for a while, so he would think of issuing industrial lottery tickets. It's because in the previous life. He had seen on the Internet that some netizens proposed to issue aircraft carrier lottery tickets, and he thought this idea was very good, so he applied it directly, and he really didn't think too much about it in his head. When Xu Yi said this, he felt that his proposal was really quite problematic. After all, aircraft carriers and industry are still two different things, the former is a national military investment, which can also be regarded as a kind of public welfare expenditure without return, and the latter is completely an economic behavior, and the issuance of bonds may be more effective.
Lin Zhenhua figured out this section. Just as he was about to raise his hand to correct his gaffe, Li Mozi rushed to speak before him: "Director Xu, I have some other opinions. ”
This is the second time Li Mozi has refuted Xu Yi's point of view today, which makes Lin Zhenhua feel very interesting, and I don't know why these two people made a mistake. Since someone refuted Xu Yi, Lin Zhenhua was so happy that he didn't squeak, and he was not afraid to admit in public that he was not thoughtful. But admitting his mistake in front of Xu Yi, he was somewhat reluctant.
"On the issue of issuing industrial bonds, our Machinery Committee has also reported to the Ministry of Finance, but the report has been rejected, do you know what the reason is?" Li Mozi asked Xu Yi.
This is obvious bullying. Xu Yi has no business dealings with the Machinery Committee, so he doesn't know why their report was rejected. He shrugged his shoulders as a Westerner, indicating that he could not answer.
Li Mozi said: "Then let me tell you, the reason is that we don't dare to promise whether we can repay these debts." When the bond is issued, everyone is happy when it is issued, but how will it be repaid in the future? Specific to a certain project, it is possible to engage in bonds. But we have some long-term projects, from investment to profit, it takes at least 20 years, such a project, how to raise funds? Li Mozi's words reminded Lin Zhenhua at once, and made him understand why he proposed such a plan as a lottery. In fact, when he proposed this plan, he was completely subconscious, and he didn't think things through. Now hearing the meaning of Xu Yi and Li Mozi, Lin Zhenhua has sorted out his thoughts clearly. He was pleased to find that in fact, the idea of the lottery he proposed was quite reliable.
"Director Li is right." Since Lin Zhenhua has figured it out, his mentality is relaxed, he said: "I just heard Director Xu introduce the difference between lottery and bonds, it really opened my eyes, people like me who don't understand macroeconomics, should learn more from people like Director Xu who are proficient in macroeconomics." However, thanks to Director Xu's praise just now, saying that I have some talent in industry, then I will explain my thoughts from the perspective of industry. ”
Everyone snickered in their hearts, this is really a June debt, and it has to be paid quickly. From the bottom of their hearts, these officials here are inclined to support Lin Zhenhua, so they are all looking forward to him being able to say some truths.
Lin Zhenhua looked at Xu Yi, whose face became a little ugly, and said: "Director Xu doesn't know that our country has the problem of weak basic scientific research in terms of industrial technology. Basic research requires huge investment, a long cycle, and very little direct return, and many research results cannot be directly translated into profitable projects. It can be said that basic scientific research is a public welfare project, and it is completely reasonable to raise funds through lotteries. ”
"Manager Lin is right!" Li Mozi clapped his hands and said, "At present, domestic basic research basically relies on state funding, and enterprises are not willing to pay money at all. And the state appropriation is very limited, and there is not much money left to allocate to the industrial sector. Research such as material mechanics and engineering mechanics is now in a difficult state. ”
"Even if it's applied science research, it's also a public good." Lin Zhenhua continued, "There are some application technologies. Foreign countries have already done it, if we start from scratch to build another set. It costs a lot of money, and if you go directly to buy equipment, or buy patents, it doesn't cost much. However, this kind of applied research itself is a process of cultivating research strength and accumulating research experience, and the social benefits it produces are far greater than the direct economic benefits. If the government does not pay for such a project to be done as a public welfare project, how many companies can take the initiative to do it? ”
"This is the situation that Kobayashi said. I know that. Gu Jiahua said, "At this point, I admire Xiaolin very much. We were able to achieve quick results in this big ethylene battle, and Kobayashi was the first to do so. You may not know that Hanhua Heavy Industries, where Xiaolin works, has been carrying out the knowledge reserve of large ethylene as early as seven or eight years ago. Not only that, but he also spent a lot of money. A lot of technical information was bought from the former Soviet Union. I've seen it with my own eyes. The total number is equivalent to ......"
Speaking of this, he gestured with his hand, trying to find an example to analogize, but he couldn't find a suitable one for a while.
"If it's stacked in this house, how much can it be stacked?" Lu Jiaqin asked curiously, she is a female cadre in her 40s who has some gossip hearts.
"Heaped in this house? Just kidding, this house can't be stacked! Gu Jiahua said proudly. At the very least, it would take dozens of these houses to pile them up. When I say that I can pile it down, it's not the kind of way I put it on the bookshelf, but I take the boxes and stuff them into it one by one. ”
"There is so much information!" Lu Jiaqin said in surprise, "That'...... How much does that cost? ”
"So, it costs money to do industry, and it's money. It may not be possible to recycle it for a while. Lin Zhenhua took Lu Jiaqin's words with a smile, but kept silent about how much money was spent. Almost all of these materials were bought back at the price of waste paper, but would he tell others such a thing casually? To know. At the beginning, he asked for an extra share of the budget of the large ethylene project on the grounds that he had spent a lot of money to buy materials.
"I've heard about it, too. The people from the Science and Technology Commission said that they often went to Manager Lin's Hanhua Technology Information Research Institute to check the materials, which contained a lot of very precious experimental data, which could not be bought for any amount of money. Li Mozi echoed. ..., "Then, Manager Kobayashi, do you have to pay for checking the information from you?" Lu Jiaqin continued her journey of gossip.
Lin Zhenhua pretended to be distressed, sighed, and said, "That's the Science and Technology Commission, do I dare to charge?" Alas, when it was time to spend money, I went to ask them to participate in a share, but they didn't do it. Now that I've bought my things, they're coming to eat for free, and I'm so angry that I can't say anything. ”
It is a fact that the Commission of Science and Technology went to the Hanhua Institute of Technical Information to check the information and did not give money. But there is another fact that Lin Zhenhua did not say, that is, when he was transporting these materials back from the former Soviet Union, the state apparatus did not make a small effort, otherwise, how could he have the ability to transport back train after train of precious materials? On this issue, Chen Tian specifically talked to Lin Zhenhua about the transaction, on the condition that Lin Zhenhua open his database to the Science and Technology Commission system.
Where did Lu Jiaqin know the twists and turns, I heard that Lin Zhenhua paid for the information, and the Science and Technology Commission looked at the information for free, she was quite indignant: "This is too unusual, the country's affairs, how can the enterprise bear the cost?" By the way, Director He, should you also pay attention to this matter? ”
He Haifeng knew that Lin Zhenhua was complaining nonsense, so he didn't think so, he smiled hesitantly: "Supporting national defense construction is also the duty of citizens, Xiaolin has always been a selfless person, this spirit is worth learning." ”
"Come on, what is the director's words, I think Xiaolin's dumb loss is decided." Lu Jiaqin said to Lin Zhenhua with a smile.
"However, Xiao Lin's words just now gave me some inspiration." He Haifeng continued: "Our State Planning Commission has been discussing the issue of its own positioning for some time, and now that the central authorities have proposed to develop a market economy, some comrades have said that the historical mission of our State Planning Commission has come to an end and it is time to dissolve it. I think that no matter what kind of economy we are engaged in, the role of the state at the macro level is irreplaceable.
For example, the basic industrial scientific research that Kobayashi just mentioned, as well as the applied research with the nature of leading the team, relying on enterprises to do it spontaneously, at least in the current market environment, is unrealistic, which requires our macro management department to take the lead in completing it. The idea of Xiaolinti's industrial lottery is very good, and after returning to Beijing, I will discuss this matter with the comrades of the Ministry of Finance.
If the industrial lottery can be issued, the funds raised through the lottery will be used for industrial research projects with a long cycle, no obvious returns, and a more obvious public welfare nature. In this regard, all of you here are from various ministries and commissions, and after you go back, you should also seize the time to discuss, list the major issues in this field, and report them to the Planning Commission together, and we will strive to use lottery funds to solve these problems. ”
"Good!" Several people answered in unison. He Haifeng's statement is really great good news for various ministries and commissions. There are no major issues in any field, but none of the ministries and commissions can afford to tackle them. Now, the Planning Commission has pledged to issue an industrial lottery and use the lottery funds to support industrial research, which will solve everyone's immediate needs.
One of the benefits of lottery funding is that it does not require a return, which allows ministries to arrange research tasks without pursuing too much practical interests. Everyone knows that in order to make something weighty, you must have the patience of "the bench must sit for ten years cold", and the lottery project can meet such a need.
Lin Zhenhua said with great interest: "Director He, if the Planning Commission really wants to issue industrial lottery tickets, I suggest that the face of the lottery ticket can be decorated with pictures of our country's key industrial projects, what 100,000-ton giant ships, what tens of billions of computers, and ......."
"And the big ethylene project you just finished, right?" He Haifeng joked with a smile.
"This one has to be there." Lin Zhenhua said unashamedly, "In this way, first, we can announce our country's industrial achievements to the people, and second, it has collection value." Let's think about it, if we issue the industrial lottery every year are printed with the most representative industrial projects of the year, 20 years later, this set of lottery tickets is a history of Chinese industry. ”
"Yes, yes, that's a good proposal." Gu Jiahua said, "Director He, I think this plan is completely feasible. What singers, football stars, and movie stars are popular in society now, how many people care about our industry? Through this activity, we can fully publicize the achievements of our industrial front. (To be continued.)
