974. Who Says Merit (1)
It is said that after Minister Wang came to power, he made a big deal about the high-speed railway, and there have been many controversies about this kind of thing in China.
Because among the countries that have engaged in high-speed railways in the world, apart from Japan's Shinkansen, it seems that few other countries that have developed such things, such as France and Germany, have made money in the operation of high-speed railways.
Even Huaguo, too, has been operating at a loss of money since the high-speed railway was just built, whether it was during the reign of Minister Wang or his successors, when the high-speed railway was in operation, it never made money.
But if you analyze it carefully and rationally, is it really not profitable to engage in high-speed rail?
This needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and the situation in China is different from that of Japan, France, Germany or the United States, because this country has a quarter of the population, and every year when it comes to the Spring Festival or other major holidays, the flow of people is particularly large.
And from the perspective of Chinese people's consumption habits, more people actually prefer to choose to travel by train, after all, this means of transportation is relatively safe.
And before the emergence of high-speed rail, although air travel has begun to gradually become popular, but the high air ticket price is really daunting, but when the high-speed rail appears, air ticket prices are frequently discounted, but it is really affordable for many people, which can definitely be regarded as one of Minister Wang's achievements.
But some people will say, you say so much, but if you look at the ticket price of the high-speed rail, it is so expensive, and there are several classes. It's often seven or eight hundred. Who can sit up ordinary people?
It is true that the fare of this high-speed rail is not cheap. But in fact, it's not that Minister Wang doesn't want the ticket price to be cheap, it's that he can't help it, he also wants to be cheap, but he doesn't dare.
In fact, from the beginning of his high-speed rail construction, he has been under considerable pressure, because once you set up a project to go on the high-speed rail project, you will offend quite a lot of vested interests.
For example, the completion of this high-speed railway has given the cysts behind the vast highway system a heavy first-class right hook.
What the hell is the highway system in China? I believe everyone knows very well that a highway that has been built for more than 20 years will continue to collect fees even though the cost of tolls has already been recovered, and it will continue to be affected by the day when the earth is desolate, you can see the shamelessness of this system.
And this system is generally made up of many red children as the pioneers, behind which is a system group dominated by foreign capital groups, this money is not only for those guys with fat brains to eat full of oil, but also for the foreign interest groups to make a lot of money, and Zuihou is unlucky or the people in China.
Ten years later, in fact. The inflation faced by the people in the country is basically reflected in vegetables. A large part of the inflation on rice, flour, grain and oil comes from the contribution of this highway.
First of all, he charges, secondly, he can also provide those local traffic managers with the opportunity to fine, and thirdly, he also contributes a lot of profits to companies like PetroChina and Sinopec.
And this money, will eventually be passed on to the people at the end of the consumption, so that the farmers who farm the land can not get benefits, the price of vegetables produced is a few cents a kilogram, but these vegetables from the rural fields to the people's table will become more than a dozen yuan, or even dozens of yuan.
For example, many people choose to travel by high-speed rail instead of taking a car, and the emergence of high-speed rail can also make the original railway transportation system free up a lot of capacity to those who need it, which is equivalent to pitting the highway system twice, so do you say those people will hate this Minister Wang?
The second is those giants engaged in aviation, but in China, all those who can afford to play airlines are generally large state-owned enterprises led by the state, but these state-owned enterprises, but anyone who understands understands what is going on.
On the surface, these state-owned enterprises claim to be state-owned, but they are basically a meal on the plate of the children of some big clans, which is an indisputable fact.
And the emergence of high-speed rail, so that these so-called airlines, have to often discount profits, do you say these people hate this Minister Wang?
The third is some people in charge of examination and approval within the railway and at the upper level, after this minister Wang took office, he performed extremely strongly, first of all, he implemented high-pressure rule within the railway, which made many people lose the opportunity to make money.
You must know that before he took office, there were many factions in the domestic railway system, and the power of the North-South Railway Branch and the major branches was very large.
Even the main leaders of some sub-bureaus can make separate decisions on procurement, or negotiate a series of matters such as cargo transportation.
And zuihou, after Minister Wang came to power, he directly called these leaders together, held a meeting, and directly announced that I will have the final say on the procurement of the Ministry of Railways in the future, especially on the high-speed rail project.
This time, in the construction of high-speed rail, it has saved a lot of costs in China.
For example, in order to curry favor with Minister Wang, he knew that he would definitely engage in high-speed rail after he came to power, so he joined forces with Alstom in France to get a set of backward jishu from the French, and pieced together a so-called domestic pride, known as the head of the Huaguo Star bullet train.
It is claimed that the maximum speed can reach 250 kilometers per hour, but Minister Wang took a look at it and rejected the project, which directly made Zhuzhou CSR disgraced.
After all, it's okay to fool a layman, but if you get it in front of an insider, it will definitely be exposed.
Don't say anything else, you put it together, anyway, the Chinese people like to use this set to fool their superiors, but your so-called power locomotive, with a centralized power, this is especially a few decades ago jishu, the current international mainstream jishu, are all decentralized power jishu, you still have the rags of decades ago to fool people, do you still have a conscience.
Do you like to join forces with foreigners to fool us locals?
At that time, because the so-called star of China Railway Jishu was not used in the high-speed rail project, Minister Wang was under a lot of pressure, because just negating the project, the so-called experts and scholars invited by CSR jumped on TV, scolded his mother, and even scolded Minister Wang's eight-generation ancestors by name.
It can be seen from this that in China, after you become an official, how difficult it is to do something practical, not to mention that you do a job, it will cause dissatisfaction in other conflicting industries, even if you are in charge of the interior of this beach, there will be many discordant people or voices, because you block their way to circle money or promotion, and argue with you.
And just to say that his performance in the post after his arrival in the Ministry of Railways is enough to leave many people speechless.
It stands to reason that after you become a minister, this is equivalent to the time when you were in the previous dynasty, and you became a first-rank member of the court, which is very different from the nine-rank sesame official.
When I went outside, it was not enough to carry a sedan chair, shouting avoidance in front, silence and the like, compared with the emperor's appearance, it was also missing a few detailed rules such as loess paving and water purification and dust removal
Think about the so-called provincial and ministerial-level cadres traveling over the years, it is not a road closure, a police car leading, and then to the locality, to investigate, is also a show, mainly accompanied by news reporters, to some designated places to investigate, to see the situation, to express a few words of emotion, and then forget it.
And this Minister Wang is different, especially unlike his predecessor, he has been in power for eight years, and every time he goes to the subordinates of the Ministry of Railways to inspect, without exception, he takes the nose of the locomotive, the locomotive of the train.
The Minister of Railways who can do such a job can be said to be the only one who has ever driven a lot, but anyone who has worked on the railway knows what it means?
Everyone knows what the environment of the train head, noisy, noisy, and dirty, this is definitely not the place where the so-called gentlemen should go, but a place that should be kept away.
Other ministers came to inspect, that is, to sit on the special train car, take a turn along the way, see the good scenery, and then enjoy the wine and food sent by the subordinates, which is equivalent to going out for a trip.
But this minister is different, that is, he goes to the front station, so that he can't hide what the situation of the various sub-bureaus along the way is, and the situation of the sub-bureaus of each railway station along the way, the situation of the railway forks, he, the minister who came up from the bottom, is all clear.
This kind of behavior, although there is also a suspicion of showmanship, is much better than those who go down in circles to enjoy filial piety.
So in that sense, he's still a very pragmatic minister.
The most important thing is that since he came to power, he has carried out a series of drastic reform policies for the railway system, which is also one of the few times in the history of the railway system, which has been able to be done by outgoing ministers.
At that time, more than 50 railway sub-bureaus were abolished overnight, and nearly 10,000 redundant personnel were eliminated.
Even much stronger than the so-called iron-fisted tsar who shouted to go to the minefield......
Ten years later, Li Yifan will also surf the Internet, and whenever he sees someone shouting Long live the Tsar, he will always feel speechless, brainwashing education, and rampant with five hairs, which is really the sadness of this nation...... (To be continued......)
