Chapter 49: A Quiet Earthquake (2)

Early in the morning, there were several elderly people sitting around the snow-white ward. On the hospital bed, the old man Liu Mingjun, who was in a coma and hospitalized due to anger, had already recovered to normal, and he was silent with an iron face.

A few minutes ago, Navy Commander Wang Tiehammer and Army Commander Chen Liwen had just finished a visit and left, and the old people implicitly expressed their respect for the attitude of the two military leaders who wanted to understand the process of handling the matter.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, go back and let your family Zheng Quan have a good talk with Wang Tiezhu and Chen Liwen, and let the military restrain their feelings." Looking at the carriage of the two military commanders in the distance, the supreme judge Zhong Jinshan turned around from the window with a sigh and whispered to Liu Lanxi, who was taking care of his old father by the bedside.

"A good child, just because we ......" President Li Ping touched the handkerchief, actually shedding tears, the child in her mouth refers to Tao Xinmei.

"Hopefully it will teach them a real lesson. Do whatever you want, and eventually harm your children and grandchildren, we old bones, after all, we still can't rest assured of them......" Former President Chen Changyuan wiped his glasses and said in a low tone.

"Lessons? What's the lesson?! Do they seem to be sensible?! There is a miasma in Congress, and they are shameless, and this country will one day be defeated at their hands! Liu Mingjun slapped on the quilt, and his face turned a little blue.

"Daddy, take a break!" Liu Lanxi hurriedly walked over from the side and squeezed the old father's hand.

"To reconstruct what we believe is the correct social legal order, I am afraid that only the next generation can really start." Zhong Jinshan's expression was quite worried, "At least, for inappropriate people, you shouldn't stand in the front desk now, otherwise you will harm others and yourself." The process of social localization of the country is unstoppable, and at some point, the obstruction of the eyes will inevitably be removed. They don't understand that yet. I also think that I can master a qiē. ”

"Well, Lao Zhong is right, we should continue to clarify some fundamental systems, not to disgust them, but to protect them." Liu Mingjun regained his composure, and suddenly grabbed his daughter Liu Lanxi's hand, "You and Zheng Quan have also invested a lot outside over the years, right?" Give me the bottom, how much property do you have, and is there anything wrong with it? ”

"Dad, how dare Zheng Quan and I have the guts...... Plus your account. There are probably more than 300,000 yuan in the family, and the income has increased in the past few years, which is far worse than some families......" Liu Lanxi hurriedly shook her head, her face flushed.

"A high concentration of wealth is not a good thing...... Okay, let's take our house as an example. Lao Zhong, Xiaobao, in addition to the current "Individual Income Tax Law", I have built a country to introduce the "Inheritance Tax Law", where the amount of inheritance exceeds 200,000. The extra part will have to pay 75% inheritance tax, what do you think? Liu Mingjun was as imposing as a rainbow, as if he couldn't wait to release all the money in his family now.

"Hehe, that's not too extreme. We can establish a multi-tiered inheritance tax system...... In addition, we have set up a national development fund to attract donations from the people and take families as a unit. If the cumulative donation exceeds a certain amount, the inheritance tax can be appropriately reduced, and the specific amount should also be divided into tranches. Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly added on the side. Although it is not appropriate to link charity to the tax law, the policy system is still good for a smooth transition. ”

"Well, I also suggest that the state-owned group under the SASAC will be restructured, and the state-run system will be changed to the state-owned system, and the operation of national capital will no longer be directly responsible for us internal members, and it will be boldly handed over to capable people in the society to manage, and the SASAC will only conduct holding and regulatory audits. From the system, let those who can't control themselves not touch the position that will bring disaster to themselves, and they can deal with problems if they occur. Anyway, the shares of several large state-owned groups now have external funds to account for shares, and they should still be indispensable. ”

Bao Zitu, a typical representative of the state-owned faction, finally said the plan that had been on his mind for a long time, and before that, he had led a number of transitional policies, such as the Banco Nacional Atlantino, the only purely state-owned bank now, which was completely run by ordinary citizens hired by them. Another example is the establishment of several state-owned enterprises in the middle and late stages, and the proportion of state shares has exceeded 70%.

"Well, state-run and state-owned, the difference between one word is thousands of miles...... Corruption is not terrible, what we are afraid of is that it cannot be dealt with after corruption, and then everyone will get lucky, even blatantly and take it for granted. After hearing this, the old man Liu Mingjun couldn't stop nodding.

"Then I would also like to mention that on the issue of the current ambiguity and overlap of the powers of the National Assembly and the Cabinet, I hope to have a clearer definition of the functions and powers of the National Assembly and the Cabinet, which is responsible for the appointment of senior personnel, legislative review, budget review, diplomatic examination and approval, and administrative supervision, and cannot interfere in the daily administrative work of the Cabinet."

Premier Qi Jianjun is the youngest member of the group at present, and seeing that the old people are working together, they also expressed their opinions. In this way, every word you say to me, Liu Lanxi, who is in charge of recording, has already written a whole page.

"The legislative process that should be taken must be followed, and we can't do whatever we want, lest they say that we rely on the old and sell the old, and go back and let everyone discuss it separately, I believe that at this time, no one will pretend to be stupid." Chen Changyuan glanced at Zhong Jinshan, the smiling Supreme Judge present, and put forward the final implementation plan.

……

The first dissolution of the House of Representatives in Chinese history took place on January 21, 1636.

The decree on the dissolution of the House of Representatives and early elections, signed by President Li Ping, Supreme Justice Zhong Jinshan, and Senate Speaker Bao Zitu, will take effect in mid-May, and the current cabinet led by Qi Jianjun will also be dissolved and reorganized after the House of Representatives election. Subsequently, a series of legal amendments and new legislation, including constitutional amendments, will be gradually completed in the coming year.

The amendment to the Electoral Code was voted by a majority on the same day, and the term of office of the current Senate and President was extended until 1638. In other words, from this year on, the election period for the Senate and House of Representatives began to stagger together.

The typical congressional reform of "the capable go up, and the incompetent go down", this kind of move appeared at this time, and it is obvious that it has also hurt the innocent. It seems that there is a faint support from the military, and after President Li Ping and Supreme Justice Zhong Jinshan jointly announced that the decree would take effect, the members of the Senate and House of Representatives were surprisingly silent, and almost no one expressed opposition.

The country no longer needs to "force others to be responsible for the country" by driving ducks to the shelves, and it was only more than ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China that this layer of window paper was torn open, so that most of the people who have entered middle age will no longer lose control.

Newspapers and media have also tried their best to make a low-key whitewash of this change in the country, with the biggest explanation being "adjusting the distribution of functions between the parliament and the government and improving the efficiency of state administration."

February 4, three days before the Lunar New Year. The National Assembly convened its last plenary session of the Lunar New Year, but the military did not attend for other reasons. The final results of the state audit, which lasted for more than a month, were announced, and the report was still not directly named, but the content left everyone present speechless.

Over the past decade or so, more than $10 million in state-owned assets have been lost, involving more than 180 people, both state-owned and private. In particular, the state-owned import and export group has almost all been spared from the management positions.

Subsequent records in the national archives. Not a word was written about the details of the internal review, and nothing was known about the recovery of the lost funds. But in the state-owned Banco Nacional Ultramarino's business statement for the year, more than 180 low-interest loan contracts totaling $10.5 million were inserted out of thin air, and the lenders were all through the public, and the earliest loan start date can be traced back to 1623. This large number of loan contracts stipulated that they should be repaid in full by 1640.

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), which has undergone personnel adjustments, is also quietly recovering its lost ground by taking advantage of this incident, and the news of the change from "state-owned" to "state-owned" has been ventilated in advance. It is believed that in the near future, the advertisements for the appointment of senior management posts in state-owned groups published in the newspapers will certainly cause a new storm.

……

The sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival echoes in the streets and alleys, and another year's Lunar New Year is coming in an atmosphere of good news but not bad news.

There is little suspense about England's tie-down. The news that the country will reap a large amount of war reparations does not know where it leaked out, and it has become the hottest topic on the streets and alleys before and after the Chinese New Year.

But the gathering of various families on Chinese New Year's Eve was sloppy because of the big shaking on the top floor. This year's reunion dinner of Beiyang Shipbuilding Group through the internal enterprises of the company was extremely deserted.

Time has come to this point. The entire Beiyang Shipbuilding Group has been in and out, and there are still 32 administrative or technical business backbones who have crossed public identities, and then there are more than 3,500 ordinary staff technicians with various professional titles. In terms of scale, it is already the first grade of super-large enterprises in the country.

The corruption case of state-owned group funds triggered by Shi Yige. The ocean-going shipping company under the state-owned import and export group and the ocean-going fishing company under the state-owned agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry group were deeply involved, and eventually became the biggest cause of internal turmoil in the Beiyang Shipbuilding Group.

Either accept a huge fine from the state, or dismantle it into two businesses. Breaking the monopoly of the industry and closed connections is the "antidote" prescribed by Senate Speaker Bao Zitu and Supreme Justice Zhong Jinshan to Beiyang Shipbuilding Group.

The dismantling of Beiyang Shipbuilding Group and the sale of the shares of Qingcheng Shipyard in which it controls it is the choice of You Qi and Shi Yige after a long night of talking, or an attitude that has to make others feel "relieved of hatred".

In the internal business management of Beiyang Shipbuilding Group, You Qi is responsible for the military ship business, while Shi Yige leads the civil ship business. In this state-owned group fund case, the amount implicated by the Beiyang Shipbuilding Group eventually reached as much as 1.2 million US dollars, all of which were civil ship business, but the "crime" was borne by the entire Beiyang Shipbuilding Group.

But the consequence of the separation is that the financial strength of each will be greatly affected. Beiyang Shipbuilding Group is not listed, and in order to maintain the current level of business, it must carry out a new equity adjustment and financing, so as to "absorb" more "internal shares". For some of the traversers who have always been secretly jealous of the Beiyang Shipbuilding Group, this is obviously an opportunity for the state to use its power to provide them with an opportunity for "compensation and resettlement".

Of course, it is not only the funds controlled by the "state-owned faction" that are watching the Beiyang Shipbuilding Group split up, but also a number of funds of the "private faction" have also contacted You Qi and Shi Yige in private, and are willing to inject more capital shares. Presumably, in the future, the two separate shipbuilding companies will inevitably face a difficult "blind date" meeting.

"This year is the last year-end dividend, we will still be friends in the future, and the friendship of more than ten years will not change......" You Qi raised his wine glass and said bitterly to the traversal who had worked together for more than ten years, "This is not necessarily a bad thing, whether it is from the capital side or the future development, Beiyang Shipbuilding Group is divided into two, and everyone has a broader upside, we used to be too closed." In addition, I discussed with Shi to sell the shares of Qingcheng Shipyard to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission in exchange for the condition that the state will not forcibly buy shares from us, and we can still share a sum of money. ”

"You Qi, I understand that this incident is all my fault." Shi Yige lowered his head, regretting his past years of money laundering with the state-owned group just to generate income, "Yesterday Lu Fangfei (Mayor of Yacheng) came to me, willing to provide land at a very low price, and the 'Yacheng Shipping Company' I plan to divide will settle in Yacheng." I discussed with a few brothers, and we retired to the board of directors and did the usual work as a teaching and senior technical advisor, leaving Verus (the first volume of the appearance, the Dutch merchant captain) as the general manager of the company, in charge of the day-to-day business. ”

"Well, it's time to enjoy life, too." You Qi nodded frequently, "We are still brother companies, and we can communicate with each other if we have any business difficulties." I heard that the Navy will order three improved Alfalfa class ships this year, one has been set at the Qingcheng Shipyard, and the other two should be assigned to Beiyang ships, so I think I will transfer one to you to do. The other civilian merchant ships that are about to be launched have also been transferred to your name. ”

There were not many people who were willing to follow Shi Yige, and when they saw You Qi generously transfer the ships under construction and future orders to him, they all showed grateful expressions.

Beiyang Shipbuilding Group, the state-owned Haizhou Qingcheng Shipyard, and Binzhou Yacheng Shipbuilding Company quietly landed on this Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Huamei shipbuilding industry, which was once completely monopolized by the Beiyang Shipbuilding Group, finally loosened a little.

What You Qi and Shi Yige don't know is that not only their Beiyang Shipbuilding Group was forced to split up this time, but there was also an internal split in the state-owned pharmaceutical group and the state-owned energy and mining group where senior technical talents left their jobs and started their own businesses.
