Chapter 443: Fair Competition
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Blue Water", and ask for the recommendation vote T-T again
Although the threshold is very high, due to the higher degree of industrialization in China in this time and space, the consumption power of the Chinese market is naturally stronger, and the attraction to foreign capital is greater (in fact, the main reason is that China in this time and space has stricter control over imports and exports, and if you want to avoid this barrier, you can only invest in China. Moreover, the raising of the threshold has virtually reduced competition, increased the profit margin of a single foreign-funded enterprise in disguise, and the Chinese side does not require that foreign capital must be transferred, so it is still rushing. Hu Weidong did not make this request because he knew that the Western government would never allow its own enterprises to transfer advanced jishu to China without restrictions, but as long as these high-tech enterprises were built in China, it would be much more convenient for us to get jishu secrets than to send people to the United States all the way. Of course, if high-tech or something is just a brand, or only put the production link with low jishu content in China, Hu Weidong, who is in charge of approval, will not approve it, as Fang Jinshijie's expert with the deepest understanding of industrialization, it is not easy to deceive him
In addition to single-ownership enterprises, joint-stock enterprises also occupy a certain proportion in the national economy, and this proportion will definitely get bigger and bigger, for these "public" or "private" relatively difficult to define enterprises, Hu Weidong determined the basic principle of only looking at the controlling shareholder, but then we soon found that the biggest difference between joint-stock enterprises and single-ownership enterprises is only information disclosure, in addition to raising funds is relatively easy, and there is no big difference (joint-stock enterprises are more suitable for the modern enterprise system, but often have more internal friction, As long as a single-ownership enterprise is well run, it is not necessarily worse than a joint-stock enterprise, especially when the scale of the enterprise is not large. )。 In fact. With the exception of a few monopoly industries in which other countries do not allow the economy of other ownership systems to intervene, such as tobacco and alcohol, all for-profit enterprises in the liberated areas and even in the future of New China (Note 1) enjoy the opportunity to compete fairly, and the vast majority of for-profit state-owned enterprises do not enjoy any special preferential policies. And this is what Hu Weidong called "equal conditions" in that long conversation
But this is not a bad thing for public enterprises, for example, for a long period of time in history. Retirement wages are a unique benefit of public-owned enterprises, and this money is borne by enterprises, while foreign-funded and even private enterprises do not have this burden. In addition, in the early days of the reform and until the 90s, a large number of old workers entered the retirement age in the whole country, and this led to the fact that the public ownership system, especially the public enterprises established in the 50s and 60s, had to carry a big burden to compete with foreign capital and newly built domestic enterprises, and they suffered a big loss congenitally. In addition, in the early stage of reform, the state vigorously introduced foreign investment. In terms of taxation, foreign enterprises are given great preferential treatment, while domestic enterprises do not have such treatment, so many factors add up, and it is strange that the concentration of state-owned enterprises such as the old industrial zone in Northeast China does not decay
The workers have dedicated their youth to the country, but the state has not given them their due. Instead, they were laid off and unemployed at the age when their families were most burdened, with the result that the working masses suffered a great deal of hardship and the prestige of the party and the government was severely damaged. However, since Hu Weidong has crossed over, he will not let such a tragedy happen again, and unlike the reform when there are many problems in later generations, for China, which has only just started industrialization, as long as this risk is avoided in the system from the beginning, it is not difficult to prevent it.
According to a series of policies and regulations formulated by Hu Weidong, any for-profit enterprise in the liberated area, regardless of ownership, will have the same tax rate standard (although it is not absolutely the same, some relatively weak industries and scientific and technological innovation enterprises in China can still enjoy certain preferential treatment, and the scale of the enterprise also has a certain impact. ); Social benefits such as pensions, children's education, and basic medical care are borne by the government rather than enterprises, and enterprises are no longer allowed to build their own schools and hospitals, so as to ensure that enterprises of all ownership systems are all equal in terms of burden, and the huge burden of government finances is balanced by raising the overall tax rate, and profiteering industries such as tobacco and alcohol have also made special contributions to this, as for enterprises, because the minimum wage standard has also been reduced accordingly, so it is not generally crushed by the tax burden; Regardless of the nature of ownership, self-built welfare housing or other buildings (such as parks) are allowed as long as they do not violate the urban planning layout, but tax deductions are made before and not after, so that enterprises do not use these investments to evade taxes
On closer analysis, these policies were able to be implemented in large part because Hu Weidong pragmatically lowered welfare standards (see this later), but China's far greater national power than the same period in history is also an important reason that cannot be ignored
Note 1: Service state-owned enterprises are naturally not included, in fact, these enterprises do not directly participate in market competition at all, and the government needs to distribute them uniformly, and the products are also put into the market as a whole after being coordinated by the government. For example, the total domestic iron ore output in a certain year is 50 million tons, the 50 million tons of iron ore will not be sold by the mining enterprises themselves, but by the government depending on the market supply and demand situation as a whole into the market, the price is high to sell more, the price is low to sell less, the excess is stored, the next year's iron ore production will be adjusted according to the market trend and existing inventory, so as to obtain higher total profits, but also to stabilize the market price
And this practice is even more advantageous in foreign trade, because of the national game of chess, China can "bully the shop" when importing bulk commodities, and when exporting bulk commodities, it can "bully the shop", so as to obtain excess profits (of course, we are very kind, will not earn the hard-earned money of the Asian, African and Latin American brothers, the real loss is the original manipulation of commodity prices in the international market, especially those Jews), so that later the US government has been attacking China for violating the principle of free competition, Destroying the international trade order, but the post-war pattern of this time and space is very different from history, and the US government can only talk about it after all, but it does not dare to really tear its face with China. )
