Chapter 1302 Anti-corruption issues in state-owned enterprises
A few years ago, Lin Xiao attended the working meeting of the Commission for Discipline Inspection organized by Mr. Xiao in the capital.
Although this meeting is not national, important leaders of the Discipline Inspection Commission have come from all provinces, so the scope and significance are also eye-catching.
At the meeting, in addition to summarizing the achievements of last year, Mr. Xiao also arranged some of the tasks for this year, and began to shift the focus of anti-corruption to state-owned enterprises.
It seems a bit inappropriate to use the word shift to describe the change in the focus of the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission, but the Commission for Discipline Inspection has indeed paid much more attention to state-owned enterprises.
In fact, many people know in their hearts that the problem of state-owned enterprises is indeed very serious, even more serious than the corruption of government officials, after all, state-owned enterprises are the backbone of the government's financial resources, and the amount of money involved is also very terrifying.
This time, after the Commission for Discipline Inspection inspected some key state-owned enterprises, it came to a very important conclusion, and a series of problems, such as "profiteering for black gold," "black hole of benefit transfer," "profiteering project," and "chain corruption," are indeed a bit shocking.
"Judging from the feedback from the special inspection of the central government, some state-owned enterprise moths are using their power to eat inside and outside, damaging the public and private, and some state-owned enterprises are colluding inside and outside to hunt state-owned assets to the point of open fire!" When this was mentioned, Old Man Xiao was obviously very angry, he patted the table and said, "At present, the operating conditions of state-owned enterprises are not optimistic. Last year, state-owned enterprise profits increased by only 3 percent from the previous year. 4%, while the debt is more than 66 trillion yuan. State-owned enterprises are not ironclad foundations, and state-owned assets cannot withstand such encroachment, and the consequences of development are unimaginable. β
It was also the first time for Lin Xiao to hear such a data report, and he couldn't help but be secretly taken aback.
In fact, the state's support for key state-owned enterprises is very large, and from the current point of view, many key state-owned enterprises are monopoly enterprises, and there are no enterprises that can compete with them, so the profitability of these enterprises should not be a problem.
However, the fact is just the opposite: the leaders of these state-owned enterprises have astonishingly high salaries, eat inside and outside, engage in the transfer of interests, treat the enterprises as their own backyards, and do whatever they want, and the enterprises are heavily in debt, but their own companies are very rich.
In the long run, even if the country has money, it will not be able to afford to lose.
"China's basic economic system determines that state-owned assets are owned by the whole people, not individual property. State-owned assets are managed by the responsible persons of state-owned enterprises, who should take the lead in abiding by discipline and law, work hard, and shoulder the responsibility of maintaining and increasing their value. "However, the heads of some state-owned enterprises not only have no sense of historical mission and political responsibility for party members and leading cadres, but also fail to keep the legal bottom line and professional standards of professional managers, allowing state-owned assets to drain and take advantage of the opportunity to enrich their own pockets." The relevant party organizations and regulatory departments have also failed to fulfill their main responsibilities and supervisory responsibilities for the construction of party style and clean government, exposing serious institutional loopholes in supervision. β
"The central government's attitude towards corruption in state-owned enterprises is very clear; To persist in administering the party strictly, state-owned enterprises cannot be an exception. This year, the central government decided to increase the intensity of inspections of state-owned enterprises to achieve full coverage of inspections of important state-owned backbone enterprises under the central management. Through inspections and other effective measures, we must remove these moths in state-owned enterprises, seriously deal with them in accordance with party discipline and state law, make them public, and give an explanation to the masses. "At the same time, it is necessary to plug the loopholes in the system through reform, strengthen supervision, reduce moths from the institutional mechanism, and fundamentally safeguard state-owned assets from losses." β
Lin Xiao sat down and looked at the information in his hand, some of the numbers on it were indeed quite amazing.
Shocking, after reading it, Lin Xiao couldn't help but secretly inhale a breath of cold air.
Judging from the list of problems in this special inspection, the problems exposed by party and government organs in the course of fighting corruption have also appeared in state-owned enterprises, such as those who run for official positions, leaders and their relatives who run businesses in violation of regulations, trade in power and sex, accept benefits from children studying abroad, corruption in project contracting and project procurement, and eating and drinking at public funds, all of which are completely copies of government corruption.
Speaking of which, this is not a disease of enterprises, but a disease of organs, governments, and bureaucrats whose power is not constrained.
It can be seen from the data that the leaders of some state-owned enterprises have the administrative rank and power of officials, and at the same time have more power to allocate resources than government officials, but they lack the same supervision over party and government organs, and a large enterprise can easily become a family territory for several leaders to divide and arbitrage, and the hidden corruption is even more serious than that of party and government organs.
A careful look at the inspection list of these central enterprises will find that the word leader is particularly conspicuous and dazzling, such as some leaders and key positions use their authority to collude with contractors and suppliers inside and outside to engage in power-for-money and power-for-sex transactions; Some condone and support relatives, fellow villagers or other related persons to contract projects or set up affiliated enterprises for profit within their own jurisdiction; Some accept the benefits of suppliers in terms of their children's study abroad and employment; Some accept negotiable securities from customers and accept expensive gifts; Some accept the supplier's arrangement to play golf, travel, etc., and these are directed to the leader, that is, the corporate executive.
After reading these things, Lin Xiao frowned, obviously lost in thought.
The meetings of the Discipline Inspection Commission were held relatively concisely, and the discussion at the end of the meeting was a link that attracted more attention, basically everyone had to speak, and they were required to have something to say, otherwise, there would be no need to say anything; after all, the officials of the Discipline Inspection Commission had to speak official clichΓ©s, so it was impossible to ask other government officials to have higher insight.
When it was Lin Xiao's turn to speak, everyone still attached more importance to him.
After all, within the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Lin Xiao's reputation is indeed relatively loud, and many people are still more concerned about the movements of this twenty-five-year-old young deputy department-level cadre.
Of course, Old Man Xiao also attaches great importance to Lin Xiao's opinion.
"Lin Xiao said, I see that you have been reading the information there, and you see what is the problem?" Old Man Xiao asked.
"There is an intriguing question, these state-owned enterprise leaders, executives get a good salary, although some time ago there was a wave of salary cuts for state-owned enterprise executives, but it is still not low, why are they not satisfied, still deeply involved in corruption?" Lin Xiao didn't shirk anything, and directly raised his own question, and it was more acute, "Aren't some officials always crying about poverty, openly and secretly calling for learning from the ******** of other countries, and blaming their own corruption problems on low income and psychological imbalance?" The corruption of the leaders of these state-owned enterprises can be said to have witnessed the failure of the ********. This shows that no matter how high the salary is, it can't satisfy the greed of the moth, the lack of supervision of power, the right to allocate resources but in the blind spot of supervision, and the high salary fattened a group of rats. β
As soon as Lin Xiao came up, he directly fired at the ******** policy.
When he said this, it caused widespread discussion among everyone, all of which revolved around ******** policy.
In fact, public opinion has always been full of controversy over the remuneration of senior executives of state-owned enterprises, who on the one hand enjoy state support policies that similar foreign companies do not have, and on the other hand, their remuneration must be in line with international standards.
"Okay, it's okay to get a high salary, isn't this money enough for your children to study abroad? Not enough to eat, drink and travel? Not enough to play golf? Isn't it enough to buy a mansion, buy a good car, and live a decent life? Is it a shame to be in front of your foreign counterparts? Of course it is enough, but under this high salary, why can't you be honest, why do you still need to eat and drink with public funds, trade power for money, swallow state-owned assets, and seek corruption and black gold? Lin Xiao continued, "Are the officials of those state-owned enterprises who fell from power have low incomes? It's definitely not low, it's basically a starting price of tens of millions of annual salaries, and there are also situations like red envelopes that can't be said. From this point of view, high salaries are useless, desires are difficult to fill, and no amount of high salaries can curb greed after taking power. β
"Yes, yes, what Comrade Lin Xiao said is also what I want to say." An official at the department level immediately agreed, "The problem of corruption in state-owned enterprises can already explain a lot of problems." It is a pseudo-problem, and after some officials return from a few days of overseas inspection, they like to talk about foreign ********. In fact, even if there is a high salary, it is not used to support integrity, but to attract talents with high salaries after the integrity is guaranteed by the system. It is said that some of our officials, who regard it as civil servants of ******** exemplary countries, once said angrily, "Who spread rumors about us ********?" Honesty is the most basic professional ethics requirement of every civil servant, and there is no need for high salaries to support it. Some leaders of our state-owned enterprises who are paid high salaries have been corrupt one after the other in corruption, and this truth has been proved from the opposite side. β
"This list of inspection issues proves the importance of our anti-corruption and supervision without leaving blind spots and gaps, and also reminds managers of state-owned assets not to expect any more ********." Another secretary of the local Commission for Discipline Inspection also said, "On the one hand, it is necessary to continue to standardize the remuneration of senior executives of state-owned enterprises, and it is urgent to make the annual salaries of corporate executives open, transparent and standardized." On the other hand, it is necessary to improve the system of supervision and control of state-owned assets and resources, implement the requirements of the central authorities to strengthen the supervision and control of departments and posts where power is concentrated, capital-intensive, and resource-rich, and strictly manage state-owned enterprises in a down-to-earth manner, so as to avoid the worst results in the governance of state-owned enterprises. β
Everyone spoke one after another, and it was obvious that the topic was all about the issue of high salaries for executives of state-owned enterprises.
In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of high salaries that the management is monopolized by interest groups, but it is a group of people who do not know how to operate and manage are occupying the pit and not, making the whole enterprise a miasma and a mess.
Of course, this is naturally not unrelated to the high salaries of the executives of state-owned enterprises, after all, everyone does the same work, and even the executives in the state-owned enterprises do not need to pay much, but they can comfortably take the money to enjoy, which has long caused strong dissatisfaction among government officials.
This time, the Commission for Discipline Inspection wanted to take action against state-owned enterprises, and naturally there were many responders, and except for a few stakeholders, everyone else was applauding.
Lin Xiao naturally saw this clearly, but he didn't have any opinion on this, after all, the problem to be solved now is the serious corruption problem of state-owned enterprises, if this problem cannot be solved, then the cornerstone of the entire national economy will be shaken.
"Lin Xiao, you can come with me later." When the meeting was dismissed, Old Man Xiao said to Lin Xiao, leaving a group of people with envious looks.
