Shanghai Wharf Company, as one of the earliest and typical local government-run enterprises, although the management power is in the hands of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and the management model is similar to that of other enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises in the empire, but in the final analysis, this is still a local government-run enterprise, funded by the local yamen, so the shares are not in the hands of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, but the finance of Songjiang Prefecture and the finance of Shanghai Special County, and the profits are also attributed to the finance of Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County.

And in this way, there is some chaos in the management of the company, and there is chaos, and there is also the soil for corruption, so when Zhou Lide fell, more than a dozen core management of the company were also wiped out, and none of them were left, all of them were killed by the Inspectorate!

So when Chen Lifu saw the dock that had been suspended, he couldn't help but think of the details of this company with a pivotal position in Shanghai.

This company, how many assets, whether to make money or not actually does not matter, Chen Lifu does not care at all, when this government-run enterprise was established, no one thought of making this company profitable, its core purpose is to develop business and industrial zones, especially the construction of wharves and wharf ancillary facilities.

The development of this company almost represents the development of Shanghai, and it is not sloppy!

Now the situation of this company, Chen Lifu feels that it is necessary to reform!

Perhaps, after I came to Shanghai, I could first use this company as a starting point to display my ambitions!

The biggest asset of this company is the land on both sides of the Huangpu River, from the industrial zone to the business zone, which is more than 10 kilometers long, and the total amount of more than 30 square kilometers of land along the river on both sides of the river belongs to the company!

Although nominally, the company only has the right to manage, and the official can take back the management right at any time, but this kind of thing can only exist in theory, after all, the Shanghai Wharf Company is a government-run enterprise, as long as there is no change in equity, basically it will not be taken back.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that these lands are Shanghai Terminal Company.

However, their land along the river is limited to about 1,000 meters wide and 17 kilometers long, and the total area on both sides is 34 kilometers.

The land a thousand meters inland was not managed by the government, but was managed separately.

At that time, the government did not expropriate inland land on a large scale, but only the land within the business and industrial zones, and the land outside these two areas, except for some of the land that originally belonged to the government, most of it was still private land, and this part was mainly concentrated in the interval between the trade zone and the industrial zone, and the peripheral land of the trade zone and the industrial zone was also mostly privately owned.

Therefore, in Shanghai, there are actually three government-run enterprises managing large areas of state-owned land, namely the wharf company, the business zone management company, and the industrial zone management company.

At the same time, the south bank of the Huangpu River has not been developed, and there is no value development for the time being, so what is valuable should be the land that belongs to the north bank!

But this is enough, and these coastal lands are not only harbors, but also important commercial areas.

Although there is only a little bit of the most prosperous riverside area in the business district, its management rights belong to the Shanghai Terminal Company.

The Shanghai Wharf Company, which owns a large amount of land, applies for a large number of loans to build wharves and build infrastructure, and then relies on wharf services to lease land and buildings along the river to make a profit.

Its core business model is not actually the port business, but the port to drive commercial development, and then promote the appreciation of land and buildings, and then lease out for profit.

Originally, these profits were planned to be used for reconstruction, but as Shanghai's industry and commerce became more and more developed, shipping became more and more prosperous, and the Shanghai terminal company was also becoming more and more profitable.

The Shanghai wharf company has made money, and it has made a lot of money, and the management model is relatively chaotic, which naturally attracted the peeps of many people, including the former Shanghai County Governor Zhou Lide.

As a result, Zhou Lide was finished, and a group of officials of the Shanghai terminal company were also not left behind, and they were all arrested.

Although the Shanghai Wharf Company is a commercial company, its management, especially the first-in-command and second-in-command, are all high-ranking officials dispatched by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

And not just a businessman.

Therefore, when he was arrested, he was not an ordinary patrol officer, but the imperial history of the anti-corruption department of the Inspectorate.

At that time, the management of the Shanghai Wharf Company was almost wiped out, and it also caused a debate within the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, that is, whether the management of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises must be held by officials, or whether it can hire professional managers from the private sector to manage it, and the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises only controls the board of directors.

However, this kind of controversy basically does not expect any results in a short period of time, even if a reform plan is really formulated, but if so many enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are to be reformed into purely commercial companies, and the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises only holds shares but does not participate in management, it will be difficult to take shape.

The biggest obstacle is from the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises!

The greatest power of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is to have the right to manage government-run enterprises, and if there is no power to do so, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises has no value at all.

At the same time, if you do not participate in the management, but only hold shares, it is also contrary to some of the current industrial development plans of the empire.

After all, the government-run enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are not the purpose of making a profit at all, the purpose is to establish a perfect system of workers and bodies and consolidate national defense, and many of these things are actually unprofitable or even loss-making.

For example, today's three major weapons companies, with the end of the domestic unification war, the demand for various weapons has been greatly reduced, in fact, they are not very profitable, but in order to maintain the production capacity of large-scale production of weapons in wartime, they cannot directly close the production line, otherwise, when the war breaks out, how to produce weapons on a large scale?

Even the military has given certain subsidies, such as raising the unit price of weapons, such as stating that there is no demand, but it still continues to purchase certain weapons in small quantities to maintain the survival of the arsenals under the three major weapons companies, but this is still relatively difficult.

Therefore, at present, the major arsenals under the three major weapons companies in China, except for a few arsenals, such as the arsenals that produce new weapons, such as flintlock pistols and artillery, can still maintain relatively good profits.

Most of them, especially factories specializing in the production of consumable materials, such as ammunition factories, can only maintain a state of small or no profit.

This kind of thing is not profitable, and sometimes even has to be discounted, and only government-run enterprises can do it, and if it is replaced by a private enterprise, people will directly close the factory, fire the workers, and use it to reduce costs.

If all the brains are reformed into pure commercial companies, many things cannot be done.

Take the steam engine, for example!

The price is so expensive, the operating cost is also very high, in addition to being more practical in major mines, in fact, in ordinary factories, the cost performance is far inferior to hydropower.

However, many enterprises in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises still use these steam engines in large quantities, why, not to support the development of steam engines.

There is no procurement, there is no production, there is no profit to maintain the follow-up research and development, and at the same time, it is difficult to find some problems in actual use without large-scale application, and it is impossible to make continuous improvements.

But the Empire's determination to develop the steam engine is unquestionable, and the Son of Heaven is personally staring at the development of the steam engine!

Therefore, even if the price is high and the operating costs are high, those enterprises in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises have to grit their teeth, because this is a political task and cannot be shirked!

Otherwise, how can the Royal Institute of Technology have the funds to maintain the follow-up research and development of steam engines!

Zhaoqing Machinery Company, how can there be funds to upgrade and improve the follow-up manufacturing process!

Fortunately, after several years, the performance of the steam engine is becoming more and more advanced, although the price of the steam engine is still not cheap, the cost of operation is still high, but it will not be the same as before every day problems, after the stability comes up, even if the price is slightly more expensive, but it can also replace hydrodynamic power in some specific circumstances.

For example, where there are no rivers, where it is difficult to use water power on a large scale, and where there is no water power available, the steam engine is the best alternative.

For example, in the mining area, the role of the steam engine has been fully exerted, and it is irreplaceable.

In this case, it also makes people see the prospect of the steam engine being thoroughly applied to industry!

In terms of military application, the navy has long tried to move the steam engine to the ship, in the early years, it built a test ship, and then installed the latest steam engine on several expedition ships, of course, limited by the actual performance of the steam engine, as a ship power is still very insufficient.

The navy loaded the steam engine on the ship, the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical meaning!

The R&D, production and application of the steam engine have always been led by the government, and the enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises have played a huge role in it.

If there were no government-run enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, or if the government did not directly control the management of these government-run enterprises, they would not have applied these steam engines, which are far from mature, on a large scale, and still less would they have provided a large amount of funds for the research and development of steam engines.

But now the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and even the top level of the empire are shaken by the turmoil of the Shanghai Wharf Company, which has shaken the management model of the government-run enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, not to mention them, even Li Xuan is a little skeptical about this government-run model, whether it should be reformed, how to reform?

Li Xuan knew that a large number of government-run enterprises in the late Qing Dynasty failed in the end, and a large number of government-run enterprises in later generations did not have a single successful example, even if it was three barrels of oil that monopolized the oil industry, they were all shouting losses every day!

But Li Xuan is more aware that the government-run enterprises in the late Qing Dynasty allowed the land of China to have modern industry for the first time, Hanyang Arsenal, Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau, Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, etc., although weak, but still supported the sky of modern industry in China.

And not to mention the later generations, all government-run enterprises in the defense industry!

From an economic point of view, many government-run enterprises in the Tang Empire have failed, and those arsenals are typical examples!

From a political point of view, this thing is also very rubbish, and the Shanghai Terminal Company is a typical example, which is extremely easy to breed corruption!

However, from the perspective of the entire country's industrial system and national defense construction, in a short period of time, Datang needs these government-run enterprises!

However, a government-run enterprise like the Shanghai Wharf Company cannot continue like this, and there will definitely be such large-scale corruption this time, and there will definitely be it next time!

Because, behind all this, it is not the greed of the people's hearts or anything, but the problem of the system, without a perfect system, corruption cannot be eradicated.

Because greed is something that everyone has, it is indelible, if you want a person not to be greedy, it is not possible to talk to them about morality, you have to eliminate the possibility of his greed in the system!

Chen Lifu looked at the construction site of the Shanghai Terminal Company that had been suspended, although the people were still on the ship, and this had not yet reached the shore, but he had already made up his mind that his new official would take office with three fires, and the first fire would burn this Shanghai Terminal Company!

By burning down the Shanghai Wharf Company, Chen Lifu wanted to let the officials, gentry, businessmen and even ordinary people of Songjiang Mansion know: he Chen Lifu is here!
