Chapter 920: The Hot Shipping Market

After the 29th Reclamation Regiment was restructured into the Lingao 29th Fishery Company, all the articles of association were naturally in accordance with the enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises owns all the shares of this company, and its person in charge must also be an incumbent official of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

The salary of the person in charge is also different from the person in charge of a private company, and its salary and other benefits are composed of many aspects, first of all, it will be paid according to the official standard.

If it is the sixth grade, its grade salary is about four hundred taels of silver a year.

However, just like other officials and job salaries, for each different position, officials will also receive a part of the post salary, taking Zhengliupin as an example, the highest post salary is a county order.

Then there are the second-in-command of the prefecture, the head of the department of the local yamen, and other main responsible persons.

As for officials in ordinary positions, the salary for the post is less.

Then there are various subsidies, but this kind of subsidy basically depends on the locality, if it is a rich area or department, the subsidy is more, and if the poor place or Qingshui Yamen, the subsidy will naturally be less.

If you add it up, a medium-sized county is about able to get more than 1,000 taels of silver every year!

Other ordinary Zhengliupin officials can take between five hundred taels and one thousand taels.

Lu Pingfang, as a Zhengliupin official under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and the general manager of Lingao Erjiu Fishery Company, adds up to all kinds of messes, and he can get much more money every month than the county order, and all kinds of wage subsidies add up, he can get at least 3,000 taels of silver a year.

However, that's not all!

As the incentive policy of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises for the main person in charge of state-owned enterprises, he also has a performance bonus to get!

Because because the person in charge of a large enterprise, in a private enterprise, the salary is quite high, if it is not a salary, people are simply the boss, and the profits are higher, so in order to balance the mentality of the heads of these state-owned enterprises, it is also to compete for talents with private enterprises.

Therefore, in addition to the normal official salary, Lu Square can also get performance bonuses every year, and how to get performance bonuses according to the company's operation, and the quality of this operation is not based on profit as the evaluation standard, but on many aspects.

After all, not every enterprise in the state-owned enterprise department is profitable, in fact, many enterprises are not profitable, or even lose money.

For example, the Guangzhou Shipyard, which is currently the largest shipyard in the Tang Dynasty and provides a large number of warships for the Tang Navy, is actually not very profitable.

Because when the military orders warships, they often keep the price very low, and in order to support national defense, the Guangzhou shipyard cannot open too high a price, although it will leave room for profit, but this profit is not much.

Then, the Guangzhou shipyard has been in the process of expansion, and the profits earned are not even enough to maintain the expansion, and it costs money to build new dry docks, purchase various machinery and equipment, and develop various new shipbuilding technologies.

So in fact, the Guangzhou shipyard has always relied on the appropriation of funds from the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and loans from the Royal Bank to get by, and the profits are not to be discussed.

However, you can't say that the general manager of the Guangzhou Shipyard did a bad job, in fact, they did a good job, and in a few years they expanded the scale of the Guangzhou Shipyard several times, and the technical level is getting better and better, and at present, even after the Hong Kong Dingsheng Shipyard, it has undertaken the order for the second battleship of the Navy, and has made great contributions to supporting the cause of Datang coastal defense.

Therefore, this has created a very interesting situation, many enterprises in the state-owned enterprise department are losing money, but many of the people in charge of it still get high performance bonuses!

However, the Guangzhou shipyard is also unwilling to operate at a loss, and has already made a report, saying that the Guangzhou shipyard is ready to design the civil ship market, and compete with other private shipyards and the heyday shipyards of the royal industry for civilian ships, especially in the market segment of ocean-going merchant ships.

At present, the shipping market of the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, not only because of the trade relationship with other countries, but also because of the prosperity of coastal and riverside trade in China.

Although the import and export are prosperous, the proportion of the entire industrial and commercial economic market in Datang is still small compared with the local market in China.

Nowadays, on the coast of the Tang Dynasty, many ships come and go, and there are more and more ships in inland rivers such as the Pearl River Basin, the Yangtze River Basin, the Canal, and the Yellow River Basin.

Offshore transportation and inland waterway transportation have become the main arteries of Datang's industrial and commercial economy.

Under such a big backdrop, the shipping market is naturally very hot, and many shipowners are waving cashier's checks everywhere to buy ships, and if it is a live ship, they can buy it at a higher price on the spot.

Today's shipyards, no matter how big or small, as long as they can build ships, they are basically lying down to make money, small shipyards, they are building some small inland river ships, large shipyards, is building large inland river ships and even sea vessels, and no matter what shipyard, what type of ships, it is in short supply.

The Type 680 merchant ships at the Dingsheng Shipyard are not counting the separate orders of the Datang Western Company within the royal family, and the cumulative orders received from the outside world alone have exceeded 20 ships, and the delivery date has been sent to five years later!

Guangzhou shipyard is also eyeing this market, their shipbuilding technology is no worse than Dingsheng shipyard, and as a subordinate enterprise of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, they have also obtained the patent authorization of the 680 type merchant ship.

Just waiting for the approval of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, they are entering the civilian ship market!

As for the officials of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, they have long had a headache from the Guangzhou Shipyard every year to ask them for money, and what they want is not a small amount of money, a mouth is tens of thousands of taels of silver, and last year it was even more excessive, and a report came that they needed 60,000 taels of silver to buy machinery and equipment and build a new dry dock.

Although their state-owned enterprise department has money, the profits of a large number of subordinate enterprises can be concentrated, but the state-owned enterprise department also has a big business and a large spending!

After a few years of development, there are already dozens of subordinate enterprises, and many of these dozens of enterprises are still large-scale comprehensive enterprises, and there are many subsidiaries below.

Although they make a lot of money, there are more companies that spend money, and each of them says that they want to expand and use money, and the officials of their state-owned enterprise department are not the gods of wealth, so they can conjure up so much money for them.

What's more, it doesn't matter if you use the profits of other companies to subsidize another company, the big men of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises don't care, anyway, it's all the country's money, and it has nothing to do with them, it's used there, but those companies that make money and hand over profits will be unwilling.

According to the regulations, people will pay profits every year, but people are also counting on the money to come back, what do you want to come back, naturally continue to expand, invest in the establishment of new factories, no matter how bad it is, it is good to pay wages and improve the treatment of workers!

Therefore, in fact, although these state-owned enterprises that have made money have handed over money, many of them will still take it back.

If you can't get it back, people are not stupid, maybe they will make a profit this year, and they will dare to lose money next year!

How to lose?

Direct investment in building factories, raising wages, recruiting more people, so that no matter how much profit can be invested in reproduction.

Well, in fact, several large state-owned enterprises have been doing this kind of thing, such as the Jiangnan Arms Company, which has not been established for a long time, but it has made a lot of money, but not a dime of profits have been handed over, and it is still called losing money every year.

Otherwise, the enterprises under the Jiangnan Arms Company could expand so quickly?

As for this approach of the Jiangnan Weapons Company, in fact, the superiors also maintain a tacit and even supportive attitude, because the current Tang Dynasty urgently needs to establish a complete military production system in the Yangtze River Basin.

In this way, we can better supply the needs of the army, and we can't rely on sea ships to transport them from the Liangguang region as in the past.

The Jiangnan Weapons Company is a microcosm, and the same is true of the Guangzhou Shipyard, so the enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises make a lot of money and lose even more, but the Lingao Erjiu Fishery Company is different.

People are born with high profits, because the salted fish of this year is actually a very special commodity!

Why, because there's salt in it!

In the Tang Dynasty, salt was state-owned, and outsiders would not interfere at all.

But before the Erjiu Fishery Company, they built a small coastal salt farm by themselves, producing it for their own use!

This sells salted fish, but it's actually a salt purchase.

However, the former Erjiu Fishery Company was owned by the military, and it had nothing to do with the outside world, and it was impossible to manage it.

Now it's different, after the restructuring, Datang Salt Company didn't care about the affection of the same subordinate enterprise of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and directly sued it, and then took back the salt farm of the Erjiu Fishery Company.

However, there is still a small opening, that is, the Erjiu Fishery Company is allowed to purchase a large amount of salt for production at a lower price than private salt for production.

For Erjiu Fishery Company, although it is missing a large piece of profit, it is still profitable!

After all, people have made the scale bigger, Erjiu brand canned salted fish, in today's Chinese land, it is a well-known brand, and the price is not expensive, in the inland area, even if the dignitaries want to eat Shanghai fish, basically can only eat Erjiu brand canned salted fish.

The 29 fishery company with high profits is still rich, the turnover is high, the profit is also high, and the tax paid is naturally high, according to the current scale of the 29 fishery company, the tax of more than 100,000 taels of silver is paid a year, which is no problem at all.

However, the question is, how many people are there in Lingao County now, the taxes in previous years were not even tens of thousands of taels of silver, and now a 29 fishery company can pay hundreds of thousands of taxes every year, this is not the God of Wealth?
