Chapter 220: Lin Qiangsheng's Ambition
Next, Qi Jinping and Lin Qiangsheng discussed the formation of a taxi company.
Previously, the state's management of the taxi industry was extensive, with taxi companies being placed under the public transport system of the transport sector, and each locality setting up its own taxi companies.
Now Lin Qiangsheng wants to invest in this industry on a large scale, and with his plan, hundreds of millions of funds will be invested in this industry, which is bound to make the taxi industry explode and make a big leap forward.
There is no such experience in China before, there are companies of this scale abroad, but far from quenching the thirst, not to mention that the foreign taxi industry has developed since the beginning of the 20th century, and the experience has been accumulated extremely richly, and the management methods and methods are adapted to the needs of other countries, and are not suitable for developing countries like China.
"I set up a car taxi joint-stock company with BJ Taxi Company as the team, and it is better for us to set up this form of company after consideration, Mr. Lin, how much money do you plan to invest? How many shares do you own in the company? Qi Jinping asked tentatively, this is also the way they thought of cooperation, it is best not to let the investor leave the country, and several people decided to ask Lin Qiangsheng if he could cooperate with a Chinese company.
Lin Qiangsheng had long expected that it would be impossible for him to do such a big deal in China alone, if the scale of investment was small, it would be fine, such a large-scale investment plan would definitely be participated in in the country, and engaging in shareholding management was also a plan he expected, Lin Qiangsheng pondered: "I plan to invest 500 million US dollars and occupy 70% of the shares of the taxi company, what do you think?" ”
Qi Jinping looked at the two colleagues who came with him, one was also a secretary of the General Office of the State Council, and the other was an elite of the State Council, both of whom were nearly 30 years old and extremely young cadres.
When they came, the three of them discussed it, thinking that if they really invested such a large amount of money into the taxi industry, it would be an opportunity for the domestic taxi industry to change and develop. Now is the time when the country is in dire need of foreign exchange. If foreign investors really want to invest such a large amount of foreign exchange, they should seize this opportunity.
Several people looked at each other, and another cadre who was nearly 30 years old did not answer Lin Qiangsheng's question about shares, but asked: "How to distribute the decision-making power of the management rights of the joint venture company, can it be like the cooperation regulations of automobile companies?" How to deploy management personnel with such a large investment, and what are your thoughts on the development of the company? ”
Lin Qiangsheng asked politely, "May I ask who you are?" ”
The questioner said in a loud voice: "Hello, Mr. Lin Qiangsheng." My name is Liu Jiaqiang! ”
"This is Liu Jiaqiang, secretary of the Economic Research Office of the General Office of the State Council, and that is Zhou Zhengying, both of whom are studying economic work!" Qi Jinping introduced to Lin Qiangsheng.
Lin Qiangsheng greeted the two, and then said to Liu Jiaqiang: "The management rights of the joint-stock company after the joint venture will be managed by experienced personnel who are familiar with the taxi industry. This is related to whether the company's future is profitable, whether it can develop healthily, if we can't give us the right to operate and make decisions, then there is no need for us to invest at all! ”
"We've already started to solve the driver's problem, we've started a car driving school, but now there's a small problem. The local transportation department does not give our students the opportunity to take the test, and our car driving students have no place to get a driver's license after completing the study course, I hope the central government can solve it for us! ”
"In terms of management, after the establishment of the company, it will mainly adopt the method of overseas recruitment and social recruitment, and strive to introduce advanced foreign management methods. For units like BJ Taxi, we will also retain some of the managers of the original units! ”
"I have great confidence in the development of the company, according to the existing population of the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, every 100 people need 10 taxis, and now the number of taxis in China is too small to meet the needs of the people! So I don't think $500 million is a big investment. Besides, tens of thousands of taxis don't come into the city all at once, and I plan to gradually increase the number of taxis. Slowly meet the market! ”
Liu Jiaqiang listened and remembered that when they came, they had discussed the issue of the proportion of shares, and it was best to have half of the shares according to the example of a car company, but they also knew that it was more difficult. They accept to give 60%~50% of the shares to foreign investors, which still depends on the situation that Lin Qiangsheng wants to invest a large amount of foreign exchange.
Zhou Zhengying said: "We signed an agreement of intent on these issues, and we have to go back to study and study the agreement with it." It's just that the issue of the company's shares has to be agreed by the superiors! ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Then I implore a few people to convey one of my thoughts to the superior leaders, I hope that the new taxi joint-stock company can be directly under the direct leadership of the State Council alone, and I don't want to have multiple politics!" For example, the current taxi industry is under the jurisdiction of the traffic management department, but the vehicles and drivers are restricted by the public security organs. Such a large-scale investment will inevitably cause incalculable losses due to a small disagreement! I hope that the State Council can take back the management rights of the taxi industry, as well as the rights of the company's annual inspection and operation in the future, so that I can ensure that the taxi joint-stock company can develop better and faster! ”
"You're going to let the State Council directly manage the taxi industry?" Qi Jinping asked Lin Qiangsheng suspiciously.
Several people also looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, his mention made everyone a little surprised, let the State Council take back the rights of a department because of the development of a company This has really not happened before, Lin Qiangsheng's idea made them very surprised!
"Yes, I think such a large investment should also be managed by the State Council, otherwise I am afraid that there will be more departments in the middle of the management, and I will not be able to find someone who is really in charge!" Lin Qiangsheng said seriously.
When Lin Qiangsheng established the taxi joint-stock company, the traffic management department and the public security organ will inevitably reach out to him, rather than being passive in the future, it is better to kick the mother-in-law on the head now!
Qi Jinping nodded and said: "I will respond to your mentions, you can rest assured, our government will definitely give support to good friends like you who have contributed to the country!" ”
After five days of talking, Lin Qiangsheng and Qi Jinping talked a lot about the company's development plan and the outlook of the industry, as well as discussed the proportion of shares held by both parties and the decision-making power of management rights, and the two sides reached a preliminary agreement in continuous compromise.
Currently worldwide. The taxi industry is undergoing drastic changes, with the Taxi Drivers' Guild in the United States holding various general strikes to protest against taxi companies' share of money and a wide variety of management fees. Taxi companies were forced to make heavy concessions and reforms, with the goal of reducing or even abolishing the share of money, improving the treatment of drivers, and improving the service quality of the taxi industry, and established a new set of management measures for the taxi industry.
For example, the reservation service developed in the United States in the 80s has brought great changes to the traditional taxi industry. There are three times as many ride-hailed taxis in New York as there are regular taxis. Instead of going around the streets every day looking for work, these reserved taxis wait at a fixed location for customers who make an appointment with them. This kind of reservation method has a long-term appointment, a short appointment, a temporary appointment, foreign taxi companies provide customers with a lot of high-quality service measures, customers experience a more comfortable, more punctual, safer and more standardized taxi service. At the same time, taxi drivers can also get more salary and more rest time than ordinary taxi drivers, which can be said to be a development model that everyone is happy about!
If according to the history of the previous life, in the early nineties of the domestic taxi industry will grow on a large scale, then the local traffic management departments will let go of the right to run driving schools, many investors with connections and backgrounds have entered the industry, so that the originally orderly driving learning process suddenly turned into disorderly development. The automobile driving school has developed into a strange and large industry, and has become a chaotic profit-seeking field.
Although the taxi industry has developed on a large scale, this development is an explosive development model! The introduction of foreign management methods has been backward and eliminated, people have long abandoned the squeezing mode of survival, to provide customers with higher service quality of the way to change, but we are still using the most primitive method and enjoy it, to the end of the taxi industry has reached the desperate situation that the reform can not change, taxi companies have become a big monster chasing profits!
Lin Qiangsheng proposed to Qi Jinping and others to take back the management of the taxi industry from the traffic management department and the public security organs. Let the joint venture taxi company be directly under the subordinate organs of the State Council, and according to his idea, it is better to snatch the management rights such as the annual inspection of driver's licenses from the hands of the traffic management department and the public security organs. The company manages its own affairs by itself, and does not need to ask others.
This is not impossible, PetroChina and Sinopec belong to energy units, but two barrels of oil are not under the jurisdiction of the National Energy Administration!
They dominate the bulk of domestic energy, and the National Energy Administration can't interfere if it wants to, because the two barrels of oil belong to enterprises directly under the State Council, and their rights are greater than those of the Energy Administration. Naturally, the Energy Bureau can't manage two barrels of oil!
Now that there are examples, Lin Qiangsheng believes that it is possible to snatch food from the hands of the two major departments, and it is extremely possible for the joint venture taxi company to be separated from the jurisdiction of the traffic management department and directly under the State Council, so that they will not have the opportunity to hinder the company in the future!
The traffic management department has always been a wealthy department, and in the eighties and nineties it was not too strong and not very rich. But since the mid-to-late eighties to the society to open the right to drive a car, Lin Qiangsheng feels that this department has never been poor!
If you want to run a car driving school, you have to pay money, there are contracting fees, annual fees, various management fees, and each student has to pay a fee for the driver's license test, which is very opaque. If you want to run a taxi company, you have to pay tribute to the traffic management department every year, and the traffic management department is simply too rich!
In his previous life, the reason why there was so much chaos in the country's transportation, overloading, and drunk driving was so strict, Lin Qiangsheng felt that it was formed by the long-term inaction of the traffic management department, and the reason why they did not act was because they have always been a wealthy unit, and there is no need to play with crazy drivers.
Lin Qiangsheng just wants the traffic management department to become a poor department, so that they can have the motivation to enforce the law and crack down on illegal behaviors such as overloading and drunk driving. Now Lin Qiangsheng is cutting off one of its ways to make money and digging up the fat of the taxi industry from it! (To be continued......)
