"Jishi, what are you worried about?" With the door opened, Zhang Peilun and Peng Yi walked into Xu Jie's office, and at this time, Xu Jie's desk still had a stack of budgets. Now Xu Jie is still worried about the railway budget for the new fiscal year.

"The budget proposed by Minister Zhan is too large, which makes the budget that has been overspent next year even more overwhelming, and I am trying to find a way to raise funds for this budget, I have never been so tired when I was in Italy, but I didn't expect to be so nerve-wracking for money now." Xu Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Actually, the problem of money is very easy to solve, and the domestic businessmen have money, as long as they come forward in the name of the government, raise funds for railway projects from the private sector or let businessmen contract, and let businessmen participate in the management and operation of the railway after the completion of the railway, I think people will definitely rush to it. It is even possible to set up a special railway company to manage a certain section of the railway. Peng Yi looked at Xu Jie and said.

"Peng Yi, when did you start paying attention to the railway? I remember that the Peng family was mainly engaged in rubber and plantations and shipping in the South Seas, right? Xu Jie frowned slightly and said. Although his tone was very calm, Xu Jie was very disgusted with this suggestion in his heart at this time, and even hated the person behind him who instigated Peng Yi to say this, because it already reflected that some people were quite restless and stretched out their hands to the lifeblood of the national economy! And this is something that Xu Jie will never allow.

"There are some things that can't be operated for the purpose of making money and making a profit. The railroad is the first of these, the railroad is like the blood vessels in the human body, can you imagine what would happen if the blood vessels in a person's body were controlled by different brains? Can you imagine if your army was fighting on the front lines. And what will be the result of having to go through more than two different dispatching departments on the material transportation line? Or what would happen if someone handed over a special train that was supposed to be used to transport supplies to someone else for profit? Xu Jie threw the document in his hand and asked.

"Wouldn't it? Those businessmen dare to stand up to the state? Peng Yi said with some embarrassment on his face.

"How not? They will even threaten the state, because the lifeblood of the country is in the hands of these people, even if the state wants to eradicate them. Once a management system collapses, if you want to build a new management system, it will be a rather long process, and during this time, what will happen to the country's materials? Who's responsible for what happened? Or who is responsible for this? ”

"Remember, a country's railways can be operated by a company, but the company must be state-owned. And it must be dispatched in accordance with the interests of the country. You must know that the construction of German railways can only be carried out with the permission of the General Staff of the German Army. The Germans were talking about the operation of the railroad as a strategic weapon, so they could defeat the French in the Franco-Prussian War. The smooth and efficient logistics laid the foundation for the victory of this war, so if you prosecute me and let private individuals run the railways, in front of money and national interests. How will they choose? I don't dare bet. At this time, Xu Jie was already a little violent. Face this companion who has been fighting side by side with him since the beginning. It was the first time Xu Jie had been so stern.

"Jishi once said that the monopoly of the Jedi leads to inefficiency, and the market economy leads to greater efficiency, although sometimes these efficiencies can be a little cruel. I think Jishi should have heard about the various problems that have arisen in the railway sector now, so should these problems continue to exist? Zhang Peilun said.

"If the railways are privatized, then they will control the monopoly of rail transport in a certain area, and the operation of the railways and the market are two different kinds of affairs at all. Can you still rebuild railways in a certain area specifically for the sake of competition? Railway transport is a monopoly in itself at this stage. Other modes of land transport are simply not comparable to railways. When you sell the railroad to a private person, you give the private person the lifeblood of the region. How can this be competitive? Xu Jie smiled bitterly.

"In the shipping industry, we encourage private investment. Private companies are encouraged to set up shipping companies because there is no exclusivity in the shipping industry and the investment and maintenance operating costs required are much lower than those of railways. The railway is a whole, and shipping can be divided into sections. And I don't know if the two of them thought that the country would obviously lose money in the planning of the railway construction plan in remote areas such as Xinjiang. But for the sake of national interests, we have to build even if we have to pay for it, what is this for? If the railroads are taken to private individuals, who will be entrusted with the maintenance of these places? ”

"Let's stop this problem today, the construction of railways can be issued, bonds can be used to raise funds by other means, but the management and control must be in the hands of the state, this is unchangeable." After the last, Xu Jie said this passage a little bluntly, and let the two of them consider it for themselves, after all, friendship is friendship, Xu Jie must not make concessions in some key areas, and Xu Jie will never allow the dividends of the entire country to be stolen by some oligarchs.

The key enterprises related to the national economy and people's livelihood must be in the hands of the state, this is Xu Jie's established policy, although this monopoly will lead to a certain degree of corruption and inefficiency, but these problems will still exist after the same privatization, in Xu Jie's plane, the British government began in 1993 to operate the railway at a loss directly and forcibly split into more than 120 various private enterprises for operation. The worst result is frequent accidents and low efficiency. In the five years between 1997 and 2002, there were 13 serious railway accidents in the UK, a country with an area of just over 200,000 square kilometers.

As for saving money? It is impossible to talk about it, before privatization, the British government subsidized the railway system by 2 billion pounds a year, and after privatization, the British government subsidized the railway system by 2.8 billion pounds per year! The number of subsidies has not decreased, but has increased significantly! What kind of money saving was this, and later, under the double pressure of efficiency and cost, the British government had to re-nationalize the entire railway system.

And this is still the United Kingdom, the length of the railway is not very much, and the traffic does not depend on the railway country, if it is replaced by the current China, China can not have so many cars and convenient road network in the United Kingdom in later generations, many areas are dominated by railways, and even some areas have only railways! In this case, how dare Xu Jie hand over such an important area to private management.

Not only railways, but also fields such as electricity must be led by the will of the state. Private small power stations can be used to make up for the lack of electricity but must not be the main body of a certain region, this is not only for the stability of energy supply, but also a means of state regulation, for the state wants to support the industry, the state can provide preferential electricity, and when the state believes that some high energy consumption or high pollution enterprises have no need to continue to expand, the same can also use price levers to regulate.

Therefore, in some key areas, Xu Jie has made up his mind to focus on state control, and private individuals can participate, but the dominant force is such as the state!

The second chapter was delivered, and when I looked at the monthly pass from the side, it fell directly to almost 500. Didn't it fall below 350 last month——! (To be continued......)
