Chapter 458 Industrial Lottery
The lottery had already appeared in China at that time, but it was not called a lottery in the name. This may be due to the limitation of ideology, and deliberately avoided using a name like "lottery" with a market economy color.According to research, as early as 1984, sports lottery tickets were issued in Beijing and Fujian respectively; in 1987, the predecessor of China's welfare lottery, China Social Welfare Prize-raising Fundraising Tickets, was officially issued.

All the officials present here naturally knew about lottery tickets. Everyone was stunned by Lin Zhenhua's suggestion. They felt that something was inappropriate, but they said it again.The one who reacted the fastest was Xu Yi, who curled his lips slightly and showed a mocking smile on his face.

Xu Yi's little action did not escape He Haifeng's eyes, he smiled and nodded to Xu Yi, and said: "Xiao Xu, I think you have some disagreements with Xiao Lin's proposal, do you want to tell everyone? "

Xu Yi suffered from He Haifeng just now, and his heart was a little unbalanced. When He Haifeng asked him to express his ideas, he was impolite, and said in a strange way: "I heard that Manager Lin is very good at doing business. Talent, but when it comes to macroeconomics, there may be some places where you don’t understand the situation. Of course, no one is perfect, and no one knows everything.”

Xu Yi's words were obviously expressed with some anger.However, with so many officials with higher positions than him present, he dared to be ashamed like this, which made other officials, including He Haifeng, feel a little disgusted with him, thinking that this young cadre was really too I'm not sensible anymore.

He Haifeng also frowned slightly, but instead of reprimanding Xu Yi directly, he nodded and said, "Well, then tell me where he doesn't know enough about the situation."

Xu Yi said: "Manager Lin proposed to issue lottery tickets to revitalize the industry, but he didn't understand the role of lottery tickets at all. As a tool to raise funds, lottery tickets are used for public welfare projects, such as social welfare, sports, etc. Because these projects It cannot produce economic benefits, so it cannot provide returns to investors after the event, and cannot use financial instruments to complete financing. But the industry is different. There are returns to engage in industry. For such return projects, stocks and bonds should be used This is also a very mature method used by Western market economy countries.”

As soon as Xu Yi said this, everyone felt a sense of enlightenment.When Lin Zhenhua mentioned the lottery just now, everyone felt that there was a problem. This was the problem. He had heard of the sports lottery and the welfare lottery, but he had never heard of the industrial lottery.Listening to Xu Yi's explanation, it seems to make sense.

Lin Zhenhua also felt embarrassed for a while. The reason why he thought of issuing industrial lottery tickets was because in his previous life, he had seen some netizens on the Internet suggesting the issuance of aircraft carrier lottery tickets. He thought the idea was pretty good, so he directly applied it. Well, I really didn't think too much about it.What Xu Yi said made him feel that there was really a big problem with his proposal.After all, aircraft carriers and industries are still two different things. The former is a national military investment, which can also be regarded as a non-returning public welfare expenditure, while the latter is entirely an economic behavior, and the issuance of bonds may be more effective.

Lin Zhenhua figured this out, and was about to raise his hand to correct his gaffe, but Li Mozi spoke before him: "Director Xu, I have a different opinion."

This is the second time that Li Mozi refuted Xu Yi's point of view today, which made Lin Zhenhua very interesting, and I don't know how these two people made the mistake.Now that someone refuted Xu Yi, Lin Zhenhua was happy and silent. He didn't shy away from admitting in public that he hadn't thought carefully, but he was somewhat reluctant to admit his mistake in front of Xu Yi.

"Regarding the issue of the issuance of industrial bonds, our Machinery Committee also submitted a report to the Ministry of Finance, but the report was rejected. Do you know why?" Li Mozi asked Xu Yi.

This was obvious bullying. Xu Yi had no business dealings with the Machinery Committee, so he didn't know why their report was rejected. He shrugged like a Westerner, saying that he couldn't answer.

Li Mozi said: "Then let me tell you, the reason is that we dare not promise whether we can repay these debts. We are going to issue bonds, and everyone is very happy when they are issued, but how will we repay them in the future? For a specific project, we can." We are engaged in bonds. But we have some long-term projects, and it takes at least 20 years from investment to income. How do we raise funds for such projects?"

Li Mozi's words immediately reminded Lin Zhenhua and made him understand why he came up with such a lottery plan.In fact, when he proposed this plan, it was completely subconscious, and he didn't think things through clearly.Now hearing the intentions of Xu Yi and Li Mozi, Lin Zhenhua sorted out his thoughts.He happily discovered that the idea of ​​a lottery ticket he proposed was actually quite reliable.

"Director Li is right." Now that Lin Zhenhua had figured it out, his mind relaxed, and he said, "I just heard Director Xu introduce the difference between lottery tickets and bonds, which really opened my eyes. People like me People who don't understand macroeconomics should learn more from people like Director Xu who are proficient in macroeconomics. However, thanks to Director Xu's compliment just now, he said that I have some talents in industry, so I will look at it from the perspective of industry Explain what I think."

Everyone snickered in their hearts. This is really a June debt, so pay it quickly.From the bottom of their hearts, all the officials here are inclined to support Lin Zhenhua, so they all hope that he can say something.

Lin Zhenhua looked at Xu Yi, whose face became a little ugly, and said: "Director Xu does not know that our country has a problem of weak basic scientific research in terms of industrial technology. Basic scientific research requires huge investment, and the cycle is long. The returns are very small, and many research results cannot be directly transformed into profitable projects. It can be said that basic scientific research is a public welfare project, and it is completely reasonable to raise funds through lottery.”

"Manager Lin is right!" Li Mozi clapped his hands, "At present, basic research in China is basically funded by the state, and companies are not willing to pay at all. And the state's appropriation is very limited, and it is allocated to the industrial field. A few dollars. Researches such as mechanics of materials and engineering mechanics are now struggling.”

"Even if it is research in applied science, it also has a public welfare nature." Lin Zhenhua continued, "Some applied technologies have already been developed abroad. If we start from scratch, it will cost a lot of money, and if we directly It doesn’t cost much to buy equipment or patents. But this kind of applied research itself is a process of cultivating research strength and accumulating research experience, and the social benefits it produces are far greater than the direct economic benefits. Like this If the government does not pay for the project as a public welfare project, how many enterprises can take the initiative to do it?"

"I have a deep understanding of the situation that Xiaolin said." Gu Jiahua said, "I admire Xiaolin very much on this point. We can quickly achieve results in this big ethylene battle. Xiaolin is the first. You may not know Well, Hanhua Heavy Industry, where Xiaolin works, has already been storing knowledge on large ethylene seven or eight years ago. Not only that, but he also spent a lot of money to buy a lot of technical materials from the former Soviet Union. I Having seen these materials with my own eyes, the total number is equivalent to..."

Speaking of this, he made a gesture with his hand, trying to find an example to compare, but he couldn't find a suitable one for a while.

"If they are piled up in this room, how much area can they be piled up?" Lu Jiaqin asked curiously. She is a female cadre in her 40s and has a bit of gossip.

"Pile up in this house? Just kidding, how can this house be piled up!" Gu Jiahua said proudly, "At least, dozens of houses like this can be piled up. I said it can be piled up, It’s not the way to put it on the bookshelf, but to take boxes one by one and stuff them in.”

"There are so many materials!" Lu Jiaqin said in surprise, "Then...how much will it cost?"

"So, it costs money to start an industry, and the money may not be recovered for a while." Lin Zhenhua accepted Lu Jiaqin's words with a chuckle, but kept silent about how much money was spent.Almost all of these materials were bought at the price of waste paper, but would he casually tell others about such things?You know, at the beginning, he asked for a larger share of the budget of the large ethylene project on the grounds that it cost a lot of money to buy materials.

"I've also heard about this incident. The people from the Science and Industry Committee said that they often go to Manager Lin's Hanhua Institute of Technical Information to check information. There are a lot of very precious experimental data in it. How much does it cost? Money can't buy it." Li Mozi echoed.

"Then, Manager Xiao Lin, do I have to pay for checking information at your place?" Lu Jiaqin continued her gossip journey.

Lin Zhenhua pretended to be distressed, sighed, and said: "That's the Science and Industry Committee, do I dare to charge? Well, when I wanted to spend money, I asked them to participate in a share, but they didn't do it. Now I bought the things back, and they came to eat for free, I was so angry that I dare not speak."

It is a fact that the Science and Industry Commission went to the Hanhua Technical Information Institute to check the information and did not pay.But there is another fact that Lin Zhenhua did not say, that is, when transporting these materials back from the former Soviet Union, the state machinery did not lose much effort, otherwise, how could he have the ability to transport train after train of precious materials back? ?Regarding this issue, Chen Tian specifically negotiated a deal with Lin Zhenhua on the condition that Lin Zhenhua open his database to the Science and Industry Commission system.

Lu Jiaqin didn't know the twists and turns. She heard that Lin Zhenhua paid for the materials, and the Science and Industry Committee read the materials for free. She was a little bit aggrieved: "This is too outrageous. How can companies bear the cost for national affairs? ? By the way, Director He, as the leaders of this matter, shouldn't you also pay attention to it?"

He Haifeng knew that Lin Zhenhua was complaining, so he didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said: "Supporting national defense construction is also the duty of citizens. Xiao Lin has always been a selfless person, and this spirit is worth learning."

"Come on, with Director He's words, I think Xiao Lin will suffer for being dumb." Lu Jiaqin said to Lin Zhenhua with a smile.

"However, what Xiao Lin said just now gave me some inspiration." He Haifeng continued, "Our State Planning Commission has also been discussing its own positioning for a while. Now that the central government proposes to develop a market economy, some comrades said that we plan to The historical mission of the Committee has come to an end, and it is time to disband. I think that no matter what kind of economy we are engaged in, the role of the state at the macro level is irreplaceable.

For example, the basic industrial scientific research that Kobayashi just mentioned, as well as the applied research with team nature, it is unrealistic to rely on enterprises to do it spontaneously, at least in the current market environment, which requires our macro management department Come take the lead and finish it.The idea of ​​industrial lottery proposed by Kobayashi is very good. After returning to Beijing, I will discuss this matter with comrades from the Ministry of Finance.

If the industrial lottery can be issued, all the funds raised through the lottery will be used for industrial scientific research projects with a long cycle, low returns and obvious public welfare.In this regard, everyone here is from various ministries and commissions. After you go back, take the time to discuss it, list major issues in your field, and report to the Planning Commission. We will try to use lottery funds to solve these problems. . "

"Okay!" Several people responded in unison.He Haifeng's statement is really great news for various ministries and commissions.There are no major issues in any field, but the various ministries and commissions cannot spend money to tackle key problems.Today, the Planning Commission has promised to issue an industrial lottery and use the lottery funds to support industrial research, which will be able to solve everyone's urgent needs.

One of the advantages of lottery funds is that they do not require returns, which allows ministries and commissions to avoid pursuing real interests when arranging research tasks.Everyone knows that in order to produce something of weight, one must have the patience of "sit on the bench for ten years", and the lottery project can just meet this demand.

Lin Zhenhua said enthusiastically: "Director He, if the Planning Commission really wants to issue industrial lottery tickets, I suggest that the faces of the lottery tickets can be decorated with pictures of our country's key industrial projects. What is a [-]-ton giant ship? What is a tens of billions of dollars?" A second computer, and..."

"And the large ethylene project you just completed?" He Haifeng joked with a smile.

"This must be necessary." Lin Zhenhua said boldly, "In this way, firstly, we can announce our country's industrial achievements to the common people, and secondly, it is valuable for collection. Think about it, if the industrial lottery tickets we issue every year are printed with The most representative industrial project at that time, 20 years later, this set of lottery tickets will be a piece of Chinese industrial history."

"That's good, that's a good idea." Gu Jiahua said, "Director He, I think this plan is completely feasible. It's popular in the society to chase after singers, football stars, and movie stars. How many people care about our industry? Through this activity, we can It has fully publicized our achievements on the industrial front.”
