Chapter 457 Hot discussion on equipment manufacturing industry
"Should Fairplay slow down? Hehe, Xiaolin's idea is very interesting." He Haifeng said to the officials of various ministries and commissions with a smile, "Everyone should share their opinions. I think Xiaolin's opinion is Is there any merit."

"Naturally, there are some merits." The official from the Ministry of Foreign Trade muttered in a low voice.Lin Zhenhua had already inquired about Gu Jiahua, and he knew that his name was Xu Yi, he was a returnee, and he was now a director of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.This time, the Ministry of Foreign Trade did not have much role in the celebration of the completion of the large ethylene project, so it only sent a director to make up the crowd.

"Xiao Xu, you can say what you think. We are here today for a theoretical retreat, and we can talk about everything we know." He Haifeng encouraged.Among the officials, he has the highest position and represents the State Planning Commission, so he naturally speaks with a bit of a leadership style.

Hearing that He Haifeng called his name, Xu Yi couldn't hold back anymore.He Haifeng is a cadre at the deputy ministerial level. He himself is only a cadre at the departmental level.
"We have heard some ideas like Manager Xiaolin's in our actual work. The general meaning is that foreign companies have acquired a large number of our companies in China, which has caused the hollowing out of our industry. In fact, it is currently a globalization In this era, there is me in you, and you in me. You can’t simply say who annexed whom? Let’s say that foreign capital has acquired our companies. Aren’t these companies still in our country? They can also serve our country’s economy Construction." Xu Yi said.

"Director Xu, I disagree with your point of view." Li Mozi said, "Domestic capital is domestic capital, and foreign capital is foreign capital. There is a clear difference between the two. For example, we have an old machine tool company in Northeast China, After the acquisition of foreign capital, they switched to producing machine tools of Korean brands. However, the South Korean side proposed that the machine tools they produced were restricted high-precision machine tools and could not be used for military purposes. Therefore, every machine tool they sold had to be numbered , explain where it is used, and it is absolutely not allowed to be transferred to the military industry system. Tell me, what is this?"

"The matter of 45 tons of ethylene this time is also a painful lesson." Gu Jiahua also interjected, "ALK said that the contract will be terminated if it is terminated, and there is no room for negotiation. If Xiaolin hadn't come out to save the situation, I'm afraid we would have I can only sing empty plans."

"ALK is negotiating with our Machinery Committee and wants to acquire two of our heavy machinery companies." Li Mozi revealed.

"We must not allow it to buy our company!" Lin Zhenhua said, "We must not let it go lightly on companies like this that go back and forth and stab us in the back. I suggest that not only should we not allow it to come in and buy our company, but we should also be in all It will be blocked on occasions, so that it will not be able to make any money in the Chinese market.”

"It's not appropriate to just say something to block a company?" Xu Yi frowned and said, in his heart, he was quite disdainful of Lin Zhenhua's words.In his view, even if a company is to be blocked, it should be the people from the central ministries and commissions who should speak. What qualifications does a local business leader have to dictate here?
Of course, Xu Yi also knows that Lin Zhenhua's company is not an ordinary small company, but a large group company that is one of the best in China.Although Lin Zhenhua himself does not have an administrative rank, but based on the company's affiliation, he is equivalent to the deputy department level, which is half a rank higher than his director.In addition, Xu Yi also noticed the attitude of He Haifeng, Gu Jiahua and others towards Lin Zhenhua, which made it inconvenient for him to be too strong in front of Lin Zhenhua.

"What's inappropriate?" Lin Zhenhua sneered, "It did the first grade of junior high school, so don't blame us for the fifteenth grade. We asked it to help us with the project, but it betrayed us when we were in trouble. Don't you need to pay some price?"

Gu Jiahua explained: "For the matter of ALK, they came later and apologized to our Petroleum Corporation, saying that it was mainly affected by the international situation at that time, and they had to do it. I hope we can forgive their actions."

"Apologize? Hehe, if an apology is useful, why do you need the police?" Lin Zhenhua came up with a wisecrack of later generations, "I think that a company like this must not be spared lightly, it must be hurt."

Xu Yi said: "Manager Lin, I think you are a little bit extreme? This is an issue related to a country's policy level. It seems too petty to talk about banning it like this. If it is a company doing this... "

He didn't go any further, but his subtext was already very obvious, that is, Lin Zhenhua was only fit to talk about corporate decision-making issues, not to participate in such discussions of major national policies.

"What's wrong with the country? A country shouldn't have a temper?" Lin Zhenhua really didn't take this director seriously. In the past, he didn't have to shy away from talking to Gao Zuxing, the vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, let alone such a small director. , he said: "Good people are bullied by others, good horses are ridden by others. If a country doesn't even have this kind of temper, no one will dare to bully you in the future. Now it is a political excuse. What environmental excuses can there be in the future?" , cultural excuses, we can’t get used to the stink of these foreigners.”

"Okay, let's not discuss this issue for now." Seeing that Lin Zhenhua and Xu Yi had signs of arguing, He Haifeng quickly stopped it.However, he only asked others not to discuss this topic, but he himself was not banned.He turned to Li Mozi and said, "Director Li, my attitude towards ALK is that we still need to consider it carefully. The bad track record of a foreign company in the past should be a factor we consider when evaluating partners. Should we also consider it? Create a system similar to…”

Speaking of this, he paused, as if trying to find a suitable word, but Lin Zhenhua said it for him: "Blacklist."

"Yes, blacklist!" He Haifeng said, "We have a blacklist system to record all transactions between foreign companies and China. Even if this blacklist is not announced to the public, it should at least be communicated internally. For example, Xiao Xu and the Foreign Trade Department should keep a copy."

"Uh..." Xu Yi was choked. Anyway, what He Haifeng said was clearly a comment on the argument between him and Lin Zhenhua just now.Lin Zhenhua thought that a country should have a bit of a temper, so He Haifeng made a blacklist, and specifically specified that the blacklist should be filed with the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Isn't this biased?

This is the result of Xu Yi's ignorance of the situation. In fact, about the idea of ​​banning ALK, Lin Zhenhua had already mentioned it to He Haifeng a few years ago, and He Haifeng agreed.On this issue, the opinions of He Haifeng and Lin Zhenhua are highly consistent. Both of them are people with very strong national sentiments. When they see who offends China, they will bear hatred for the rest of their lives.

"Director Li, you just said that ALK wanted to acquire our two heavy machinery companies. What's the situation with these two companies?" Lin Zhenhua asked Li Mozi.Just now when Li Mozi talked about the acquisition of domestic enterprises by foreign capital, he looked quite indignant, which made Lin Zhenhua feel that Li Mozi was also one of his own, and his views were consistent with his own.

Li Mozi said: "These are two companies engaged in power generation equipment. They are both large factories with thousands of employees. However, in the past few years, they have not been profitable and have suffered serious losses. I don't know where ALK learned about this situation, so they asked us It was proposed that the two factories should be acquired as a whole. However, the acquisition fee they offered was very low, and our Machinery Committee is not in favor of it."

"Power generation equipment..." Lin Zhenhua hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "If it is power generation equipment, we really can't help. At present, our funds are also relatively tight. Part of the funds must be invested in gas turbines, and the other part of the funds must be used mainly in the development of machine tool products.”

"Oh, this is a big problem." Li Mozi said distressedly, "Large companies like this are our backbone companies, and we know we can't just let foreign companies take them away. But if we don't let foreign companies Take it away, they continue to lose money year after year, and our Machinery Committee can't afford it. More than half of the employees of these two companies have been laid off, and the employees on the job can only get half of their wages. If this continues, we don't know How long can it last?"

"Director He, is our planning committee indifferent to this?" Lin Zhenhua pointed the finger at He Haifeng, "Looking at the key enterprises in our equipment manufacturing industry going bankrupt or being merged by foreign capital, is it true that the country is Have no idea at all?"

He Haifeng said: "Of course there are ideas, but it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. The business is struggling, and it relies on bank loans to pay wages. It hasn't improved at all for so many years. What can our planning committee do?"

"The reason for the difficulty of business operation, from the perspective of people, is that the leadership ideology is rigid and not good at management. From the perspective of material, it is that the company's technology is backward and the products lack competitiveness. In these two aspects, your planning committee has It can make a difference." Lin Zhenhua said.

"I would like to hear the details." He Haifeng said sincerely, "If there is a good way, we will not refuse to accept it."

"In terms of management, I think we should fully introduce the modern enterprise system. Well, roughly the following points, clear property rights, separation of government and enterprise, clear responsibilities and rights, and scientific management. If these points can be achieved, the vitality of the enterprise It should be able to rejuvenate." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Hehe, not bad, Xiao Lin, you have good theoretical skills." He Haifeng praised with a smile.

What Lin Zhenhua said is a hot topic in academic research at present, and He Haifeng has also heard some experts introduce it.These ideas are simple to say, but it is still difficult to actually implement them.For example, the clarification of property rights involves fundamental adjustments to the ownership forms of state-owned enterprises.He Haifeng knew that regarding these ideas, even among the leaders of the central government, there was still no unification of opinions, let alone a specific department like the Planning Commission.

Lin Zhenhua said modestly: "These are the things that Xiang Zhe, the general manager of our group, told me when he was free. I think it makes sense, so I just remembered it. I have inspected some state-owned enterprises in our Jiangnan Province and found their main problems. It’s just that the property rights are not clear, the state is responsible for making money, and the state is in charge of losing money. If things go on like this, who will have the motivation to improve management?”

"Well, this issue is indeed worthy of serious study." He Haifeng said, "You just mentioned the management issue, so what about the technical issue, what do you think?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "In terms of technology, I think we must give full play to the advantages of a big country. Our experience in this big ethylene battle is worth promoting. If all domestic industries can learn from the petrochemical industry model and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in the form of enterprise alliances, It is entirely possible to improve the technical level of the entire industry in a short period of time by focusing on tackling key problems."

"Manager Lin, when will you be able to promote your experience to our machinery industry?" Li Mozi encouraged without losing the opportunity.Seeing that the National Petroleum Corporation won the 45-ton large ethylene battle under the leadership of Lin Zhenhua, the Machinery Committee was also full of envy and hatred.Back then, when Lin Zhenhua went to the Ministry of Petroleum to discuss a large ethylene project, it was Zhu Jinwen from the Machinery Committee who led the way for him. If he had known that Lin Zhenhua had such great energy, he would have left him in the Machinery Committee to do some big projects. Isn't it better?

Lin Zhenhua said: "Director Li, if you don't mention this matter, I will make a special trip to ask you for instructions. One of the important development directions of our Hanhua Heavy Industry Group in the next few years is machine tools. Therefore, we want to propose to the Machinery Committee Application, can you set up several major special projects in machine tools, unite domestic machine tool companies, break through technical bottlenecks, and impact the international advanced level."

"Of course!" Li Mozi agreed, "Manager Lin, it's great that you have such an idea. As long as you report on any major projects you plan to do, I will definitely report them in the shortest possible time. Send it to the director, and get it done as soon as possible. How about we imitate the model of Minister Gu and the others, and hold a machine tool conference?"

"Manager Xiaolin, according to the affiliation relationship, your original Hanhua Machinery Factory belongs to our chemical industry system. You can't even ignore the affairs of your mother's family?" A deputy director of the chemical industry department named Lu Jiaqin also spoke. "Our chemical system is also very difficult at the moment, do you think you are also concerned about it, and give us some kind of battle?"

"Well..." Lin Zhenhua rolled his eyes straight away, since when did my buddy become a hot potato? Could it be that I became an expert in a battle of ethylene?Chemical industry...it's actually not difficult to say, these things currently produced by petrochemical industry can also be transplanted to chemical equipment companies to do.However, the scale of chemical equipment companies is generally relatively small. If it is not possible, let domestic chemical companies make a few products from the patent library of Nippon Heavy Industries, Japan?

He Haifeng sat on the side, watching Gu Jiahua, Li Mozi, Lu Jiaqin and others circle around Lin Zhenhua, feeling very emotional.Lin Zhenhua is so charming that various ministries and commissions regard him as a savior.Lin Zhenhua has a far-sighted vision, is clean and honest, dares to take responsibility, and often has some tricks that make people laugh and cry. Speaking of it, he is indeed a good player in organizing large-scale project battles.However, a country's equipment manufacturing industry can't be expected to be done by him alone, right?How many nails can he drive with iron all over his body?

"Xiaolin, you have to hurry up and sort out your experience in the ethylene battle this time. I will discuss it with the relevant leaders of the State Economic Commission later, and strive to promote your experience to the whole country. Industrialization cannot rely on you alone. People still depend on the cadres and the masses." He Haifeng said.

"No problem, Yang Xin has sorted out a material, which can be submitted to you at any time." Lin Zhenhua said.

"By the way, Director He, I have something to report to you." Li Mozi interrupted.

He Haifeng asked: "What is it?"

Li Mozi said: "Just now, Manager Lin also said that the current situation of our machinery industry is not optimistic. The technical level of many enterprises is still at the stage of the late 50s, and they are completely lacking in international competitiveness. If we want to do what Manager Lin said, To carry out several major special projects, and at the same time take the opportunity of major special projects to improve the technology of each enterprise, I am afraid that a considerable amount of funds will be required. Can the Planning Commission discuss with the Ministry of Finance and support this amount of money?"

He Haifeng shook his head resolutely, and said, "Director Li, the request you made is basically impossible. Our current financial difficulties are very difficult, and the annual financial revenue is used to pay for education, science, culture, health, national defense, and agricultural support. Including the headcount of each unit, basically there is not much left. There are at least twenty or thirty departments like your Machinery Committee that hope to receive financial support, and our Planning Committee can’t take care of it.”

"This will be difficult." Li Mozi frowned, "If the finance cannot provide support, I'm afraid we won't be able to raise much money just by relying on our Machinery Committee. Minister Gu and the others are using the funds from the large ethylene project to carry out It has become a big battle, but we don't have any funds."

"Regarding this issue, I do have an idea, are you interested in hearing it, leaders?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile on his face.

"What kind of crazy idea do you have, tell it quickly, don't keep it up." He Haifeng said, seeing Lin Zhenhua's expression, he knew it would be a good idea that people didn't expect.Sometimes he felt strange, Lin Zhenhua, why did he have so many strange ideas?
Lin Zhenhua said: "My idea is, since the government has no money, why can't we raise money from the private sector?"

"You mean the company goes public?" He Haifeng asked.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "IPO is also one of the methods. However, this method is only applicable to enterprises, not to competent departments like the Machinery Committee. My idea is, can the country raise funds by issuing lottery tickets? , As for the name, let’s call it the China Industrial Lottery.”
