The applause encouraged Xu Haodong, he took a pause, and then gushed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the special historical status and special historical background of private enterprises, there have been all kinds of fierce debates on the issue of understanding and dealing with the original sin of private enterprises. The focus of the argument is mainly on whether the original sin theory of private enterprises is valid and the way to solve the original sin problem. The former is mainly a debate on whether the argument of the original sin of private entrepreneurs is politically and theoretically tenable. ”

"Lawless people implicate benign lawbreakers, lawbreakers, law-abiding people. Then, the birth of private enterprises began from the tail of capitalism, from the social enterprises, and from washing the feet and going to the fields under the planned economy. Are these all sinful? If we look at it from the point of view of the planned economy and the class struggle, the answer is yes. It cannot be denied that under a system in which an imperfect planned economy and market regulation coexist, some private enterprises have learned from red-topped businessmen, colluded with certain officials, evaded taxes, made and sold counterfeit goods, smuggled and peddled smuggled goods, embezzled state-owned assets, and so on, and obtained the first pot of gold in primitive accumulation. ”

In other words, the collusion between officials and businessmen implicates the collective image of the entire private entrepreneur in the public. In this sense, the original sin of private entrepreneurs may be a false proposition, and almost no one in private enterprises had the ability to collude with officials and businessmen at the beginning of reform and opening up, and the collusion between officials and businessmen after it developed was obviously an individual problem. As for the original sin of private capital and the way to solve it, the general opinions can be divided into liquidation theory, amnesty theory, dilution theory and compromise theory. ”

"It is obviously an exaggeration to say that all private enterprises started by original sin, but it is undeniable that for many private entrepreneurs, even after many years, the honor is close, but the original sin is still their lingering nightmare. As some economists have said, what we call private entrepreneurs today is actually a rather mixed group, and we can make some rough classifications of this group from multiple perspectives. For example, private entrepreneurs can be divided into two categories: one is the private entrepreneurs who have risen from the grassroots of society, have been active in the people, and have made a fortune mainly by relying on their own business talents; The other type is the privileged entrepreneurs who once held power, or clinged to power, and mainly used power to obtain profits by monopolizing privileges or plundering state and people's property. ”

Therefore, the original sin can be divided into two situations: one is that under the planned economic system, in the process of private entrepreneurs breaking through the laws and regulations of the time and operating in accordance with the requirements of the market economy, due to the conflict between the principles of the market economy and the laws and regulations of the planned economy. The second is that because the general environment at that time did not give private enterprises a suitable space for development, at the beginning of the establishment of private enterprises, on the one hand, they were discriminated against and squeezed; On the other hand, they have to cling to power and seek development, and as a result, they have adopted some illegal acts, such as tax evasion, speculation, bribery, etc. Compared with the above two original sins of different natures, different private entrepreneurs should also be treated differently. ”

"Based on history and reality, I believe that we should look at the original sin of private enterprises from a historical perspective. On the one hand, private enterprises have developed in a complex and difficult environment of discrimination, system defects, and inefficiency of state-owned enterprises, which determines that the original sin has its own institutional environment factors. On the other hand, it is more important to see the contribution of surviving private enterprises to society, which helps to correct the prejudice against private enterprises. Therefore, the original sin of private enterprises cannot be judged as guilty, and the original sin of private enterprises should be correctly treated and handled differently in an objective and fair manner. ”

"Some people have pointed out that private enterprises have a sense of original sin, so they dare not develop, are afraid of retrospective, afraid of coming out, and even transfer assets abroad, which is the destruction of productive forces and is not conducive to economic development, so their original sins should be pardoned. It is true that the achievements made in economic construction since the beginning of reform and opening up have been attributed to the private economy. The gradual improvement of the market economic system is inseparable from the impact of the private economy on the irrational old system and the old laws that have constrained the development of the productive forces; on this basis, it has become an urgent demand of private entrepreneurs to treat all economic sectors equally and enjoy the same legal status and political treatment, and the central authorities have put forward the content of equal protection of private property and other property as the most important part of the constitutional amendment, which can be called the most important constitutional achievement since the beginning of reform and opening up. ”

"But, but, the constitutional protection of private property is not the same as the condon of the crimes of the privileged entrepreneur who embezzled state property and plundered the wealth of the masses, because the pardon of these crimes is a betrayal of the interests of the broadest masses of the people, so the pardon of the original sin cannot be generalized. Due to the irrationality of the legislative process and the deviation of the economic system and legal system thinking, some laws in the past were established by departments and those with vested interests. Some were established under the guidance of ultra-left ideology; Some of them are set up to escort the planned economy, and if a private entrepreneur breaks through these deadlocked and backward laws, then he not only has no original sin, but should also be commended for his merits. They have made great contributions to the market economy. ”

However, if a private entrepreneur breaks through the universal rules of human beings, basic moral values, and global market norms, then he is guilty of the real original sin, that is, for those private entrepreneurs who are of a bad nature and have a corrupt influence, they still have to be punished heavily. There are two types of original crimes, and their criminal acts have corrupted officials, poisoned the government, endangered the safety of people's lives and property, and directly and seriously harmed the interests of others or the state, and their crimes cannot be pardoned. One is the original sin of corruption, that is, relying on bribery of officials, power-for-money transactions, rent-seeking and profit-seeking to get rich; The other type is the violent original crime, that is, relying on violent crimes, power monopolies, and underworld organizations to grab wealth. These two types of original sins cannot be forgiven, otherwise they will cause untold harm. ”

"It should be acceptable for ordinary people to give private enterprises other than the above two types of original sins a chance to atone for their sins, so as to support these conscientious private entrepreneurs. Ordinary people are not jealous of wealth, but only those ill-gotten gains, that is, the benefits obtained by relying on power or clinging to power, so as to rely on power to seek rent or borrow power for naked plunder. Private entrepreneurs also have to borrow power in order to gain the right to survive, but they mainly rely on entrepreneurship to create wealth; Privileged entrepreneurs, on the other hand, use power as the basis of their enterprises, and rely on power to recklessly plunder state-owned assets and people's assets. Therefore, the behavior of these privileged entrepreneurs is obviously contrary to justice and reason, and their behavior is both illegal and illegal, which is what the Chinese people usually call harming nature and reason, so the public reacts strongly to them. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Haodong asked loudly: "Boss Lin, is Lin Chufeng, the boss of Dongjiang Hongxing Electronics Company, here?" ”
