Daming 1805

Chapter 490 New Industry Group

After Zhu Jingyuan finished processing the memorials from the civil servants and generals system, he began to read the memorials sent by the imperial consortium, the Ming government-operated consortium, and the Huangzhuang system.

The structure of the royal consortium is very close to the modern conglomerate.

It should be said that Emperor Sejo built the royal consortium with reference to the framework of Hyundai Group Corporation.

The nature of the royal family consortium is a family consortium owned by the entire royal family, and all royal families are natural shareholders of the consortium.

Most of the benefits of most members of the royal family are indeed provided directly by the royal consortium.

There are two most important institutions within the Royal Consortium, the Royal Board of Directors and the Royal Board of Supervisors.

The Royal Board of Directors is the highest management body of the consortium, responsible for the strategic development planning and major affairs decisions of the entire consortium.

Members of the board of directors are senior executives with outstanding performance in the consortium.

Some of them are full-time directors, some are concurrently held by the chief managers of important departments of the consortium headquarters, and some are concurrently held by the big shopkeepers of important factories and commercial banks under the consortium.

The position of a director in a modern company is imported, but the director itself is actually a local term.

The original meaning is actually "management", and there is no direct correspondence with shareholders.

Therefore, these royal directors can be close clan clans, distant clan clans, or civilian shopkeepers.

The emperor is the de facto chairman, but he is not called the chairman, but still directly called the emperor.

The board of supervisors is a supervisory body, and not all members of the board of supervisors are members of the royal family, but all princes of Ming Dynasty are members of the board of supervisors.

The chairman of the board of supervisors defaults to be the Supreme Emperor, and after the death of the Supreme Emperor, the elder prince of Yuanzhi is elected as the chairman.

Simply looking at the rules, the emperor's power within the imperial consortium is not absolute, at least not in name.

Because of the existence of the Royal Board of Supervisors, it can theoretically supervise the operation and management of the entire consortium.

After the death of the Supreme Emperor, Prince Yuanzhi will also be appointed as the chairman of the board of supervisors.

However, the Taishanghuang is also the patriarch of the royal family, which is the de facto chairman of the shareholders' meeting.

After the death of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor will automatically take over as the patriarch of the royal family.

At that time, the chairman of the board of supervisors and the main members, the princes, will all become subordinates of the emperor.

The emperor can also use the identity of the patriarch to control the board of supervisors.

Only when the Supreme Emperor was alive, the Royal Supervisory Committee led by the Supreme Emperor could slightly supervise the emperor's behavior.

After the Supreme Emperor is gone, the Royal Board of Supervisors can only supervise the management below the emperor.

It is equivalent to a company supervisor who is the controlling shareholder and the chairman of the board.

The other directors are also subordinates of the emperor, similar to the Jiuqing monks in the imperial court.

The situation in Huangzhuang is even more simple and rude. Huangzhuang belongs to the property of the emperor himself in nature.

The emperor can dispose and arrange at will in name, but Emperor Shizu also left a set of basic principles.

The main reason is the upper limit of various dividend ratios, which requires future emperors not to be able to use up their resources.

The management structure of Huangzhuang is also different from that of the royal family consortium. There is no such institution as the board of directors and the board of supervisors.

The framework of the royal consortium is similar to the joint-stock company of later generations,

The structure is relatively complicated, and the industries it operates are indeed complicated, covering most of the entire industry and commerce.

Huangzhuang is closer to a sole proprietorship holding company.

The emperor is the big boss and the big treasurer, and he directly supervises the stewards of the headquarters of Huangzhuang, as well as the shopkeepers of Huangzhuang in other places.

Before the industrialization of Xintianfu, Huangzhuang mainly operated land and resources, and most of Huangzhuang were large farms, forest farms, pastures, fisheries, and mines.

The functions of each Huangzhuang are highly similar and highly independent of each other.

Therefore, before the industrialization of Xintianfu, the management structure of Huangzhuang was relatively simple. The organization of the headquarters was similar to that of the central court of the Ming Dynasty before industrialization, and there were fewer subordinate departments.

The most important tasks are collecting taxes and maintaining Huangzhuang's troops.

After the industrialization of Xintianfu began, the management of Huangzhuang began to become complicated.

Split up the departments with many affairs, and at the same time set up a management department similar to the cabinet.

After more than ten years of adjustments, it is now relatively complete.

Compared with the royal consortium, Huangzhuang is more and more like another small court.

The main functional departments are complete, as well as its own independent armed forces.

The homeland is of course Xintianfu, and at the same time, there are a large number of overseas territories on all continents.

This is the original intention of Emperor Shizu. After simple adjustments, a country can be quickly established.

Compared with the imperial consortium and the Huangzhuang system, the structural complexity of the Daming official consortium has increased by an order of magnitude.

Because the Daming Consortium is not a normal independent consortium or manufacturer.

It was a huge suture monster formed by the combination of a large number of government-run manufacturers established and acquired by the central court of the Ming Dynasty and local governments at all levels at the same time.

Some large-scale local government-run manufacturers, or the same type of manufacturers after special integration, were included in the direct management of the Daming Consortium established by the central court.

However, most of the chaotic small and medium-sized local government-run manufacturers are still managed by the corresponding institutions of the local government.

This is also a natural choice. The business scope of government-run manufacturers is too broad.

Putting them all together and handing them over to the Daming Consortium for management is simply out of control.

Only the central government can manage the core part, and the local yamen can manage most of the other parts, so the division of labor and cooperation.

The highest-level Daming Consortium is equivalent to a central agency directly under the emperor's control.

The government-run consortium of the local yamen is equivalent to a subordinate organization of the local higher-level yamen.

Therefore, the internal management model is much simpler than that of the royal consortium, and there is a direct big treasurer in charge.

The status of the treasurer of the Daming Consortium is equivalent to that of Jiuqing, directly belonging to the emperor.

Under the big shopkeeper, there are several big stewards, whose status is equivalent to the ministers of various ministries, and each is in charge of several departments.

Zhu Jingyuan recalled the situation of the imperial consortium and Huangzhuang, and looked at the resignations of a group of senior managers in front of him. The first question he considered was not how to adjust these institutions and personnel.

It was about whether to merge the several Wangzhuangs of the Dashi Kingdom into the Huangzhuang system, and then merge the Daming Airlines, Dashi Clothing Firm and related industries under his own name into the Royal Consortium.

If they are merged, the personnel adjustments of the imperial consortium, Huangzhuang, and government-operated consortia will be simple.

Just let the oldest few executives retire, and transfer a few executives from their own big food industry.

However, Zhu Jingyuan had other considerations.

Now and in the future, Ming Dynasty's policy direction must be state capitalism.

With the royal family and the imperial court directly controlling a large amount of resources and huge consortiums, how to keep these royal family and official industries still sufficiently viable for a long time is a very big topic.

Internal competition is a natural choice.

If Zhu Jingyuan's personal industry is collectively referred to as the food system, the scale of the food system is already very large.

Occupies the world's largest oil field.

It occupies a large share of the three basic key industries of petrochemical, aviation and automobile machinery.

And they all have a basically complete industrial chain.

Petroleum development, refined oil, plastic and textile raw materials, clothing production and sales.

Aviation and automobile and machinery fuel, aviation and automobile engine production, assembly and sales of various aircraft and automobiles.

At the same time, these manufacturers have very high influence in related industries.

It has basically monopolized the high-end clothing in Thailand and the West, and the high-end civil aircraft and top-level automobile markets in Daming.

It even owns 120 million square kilometers of land in the east of Mozhou.

The finest Great Lakes land in the eastern part of Mexico State.

It is of course not enough to fight against the entire royal consortium or the royal family.

The main reason is that the scope involved is not wide enough.

However, compared with the royal consortium and Huangzhuang, the industries he participated in have equal or even stronger strength.

With the continuous deepening of industrialization, the three industries of petroleum, automobile and aircraft will become more and more important.

So the future potential is still very huge, and the profit margin is also very impressive.

If, as the emperor and the traverser, I add some new potential industries to this system, I should be able to create a new set of industrial systems in addition to the royal consortium and Huangzhuang.

The industry of the food industry is relatively concentrated, the internal vitality is still very high, and the research and development efficiency is very high.

In contrast, although the original imperial consortium started to take the high-tech route, it always felt like it couldn't move forward.

It may be because the system of the royal consortium is too large, and the focus on developing certain new industries is not enough.

Zhu Jingyuan was worried that merging the industry of the Food Department into the imperial consortium would affect the operating efficiency of the existing system of the Food Department.

Zhu Jingyuan has considered this issue more than once, and now it's time to make a decision.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Jingyuan decided not to merge the food department into the imperial consortium for the time being.

Instead, it will integrate the industries of the big food department and operate independently in the form of a "new industry group".

The main goal is to develop new industries in the future, including semiconductors, the Internet, mobile communications, and so on.

The royal consortium is responsible for those industries that really need the power of the whole country or long-term accumulation.

Such as new materials science, aerospace engineering, atomic energy, high-speed railway, Royal Bank and so on.

The government-run consortium is responsible for the promotion and popularization of mature industries, and operates the most scale-effective industries and labor-intensive industries.

Includes roads, railways, and basic communications, includes steel, shipbuilding, agricultural and industrial machinery, includes thermal, hydro, and atomic power, includes mining of coal, oil, and metal minerals.

As for the new Tianfu Huangzhuang, they will continue to focus on their special tasks and build an independent industrial backup in Nanyinzhou.

Compared with the other three systems, the industrial coverage of Xintianfu is definitely the widest.

But most of its industries are confined to Xintianfu.

It will not invest heavily in other areas, nor will it compete directly with other royal and state-run industries.

When the emperor thinks it is necessary, the industry of Xintianfu will be allowed to cooperate or compete with the other three industries.

In the main market of Ming Dynasty in the future, there will be at least five basic camps: royal consortium, government-run manufacturers, Huangzhuang system, new industry groups, and private capital.

Let more organizations actually participate in market competition, and the vitality of the manufacturers themselves and the market will also be higher.

Of course, there are industrial overlaps among the five camps, but there are also obvious differences in their respective situations, and there will be no comprehensive and thorough vicious competition.

At the same time, Daming is really big enough. Even if each industry is divided into several giants, the scale of a single giant is still terrifying.

There is still no need to worry about scale effects.

However, if the big food industry is retained and integrated, large-scale appointment of big food executives as executives of the royal consortium, government-run consortium, and Huangzhuang cannot be done.

We can only slightly mobilize a few core members to supervise important departments, and at the same time make some adjustments within institutions such as the royal consortium.

At least the old people who really should retire should be allowed to retire, and the lower-level management should be promoted normally.

Zhu Jingyuan rummaged through the memorials for a while, and ordered Zhu Dijin, the treasurer of Huangzhuang in Panama, to be in charge of the operation and management department of Huangzhuang.

At the same time, he continues to serve as the treasurer of Panama Huangzhuang.

Zhu Dijin made great contributions to the construction of the Yinzhou Canal (Panama Canal).

Although the workers are captive labor provided by Nan Yinzhou, he has made the ultimate use of labor.

With the lowest possible cost, far lower than the original expected cost and time, the project volume far exceeded the expected amount was completed.

Two direct canals with a water surface width of 300 meters, a river bottom width of 120 meters and a water depth of 20 meters have been built in Panama.

At present, all ships in the world can pass directly, and ships with a maximum capacity of 20 tons can pass normally.

This is the level of the Strait of Malacca.

In this way, the Atlantic Ocean and the Daming Ocean are completely connected in the middle.

It took him less than six years.

This shows his superb business talent and excellent management talent.

It also left a very good impression on Zhu Jingyuan.

After the Yinzhou Canal was completed, Zhu Jianyan raised Zhu Dijin's salary, but did not give him a promotion immediately.

Because after the canal is completed, the income of Panama Huangzhuang will also soar rapidly.

And the shopkeepers of Huangzhuang can share the profits of Huangzhuang.

Especially in Huangzhuang, which is in the period of development and construction, the treasurer and management can get a higher proportion of dividends.

Zhu Dijin worked hard to get through the canal for five years, and then transferred him away directly, it would be like killing a donkey.

So Zhu Jianyan asked Zhu Dijin to stay in Panama and continue to reap the rewards of his hard work.

So far, six years have passed since the opening of the single-lane canal.

Zhu Dijin has already received a huge profit dividend.

Zhu Jingyuan is now transferring him to the Huangzhuang headquarters to be in charge of the operation and management department, which is equivalent to the chief assistant of the Huangzhuang system.

At the same time, he was also allowed to continue to serve as the treasurer of Panama Huangzhuang for several years.

This means that you can continue to receive dividends for several years.

The main industry in Panama is the Yinzhou Canal, and the maintenance and charging of the canal have become routine work.

He, the shopkeeper, is actually very leisurely now, basically just laying down and distributing money.

The absence of others will not affect the operation.

Then Zheng Fuguang, the shopkeeper of Xintianfu Petroleum Lake Oilfield, and Hao Zhongyi, director of the Rayon Textile Industry Center, were added to Huangzhuang's operation and management department in Xintianfu.

Both Zheng Fuguang and Hao Zhongyi are very talented people, otherwise they would not be able to do the job given to them in the first place.

After more than ten years of continuous learning and training, they have now become real experts in their respective industries.

The management ability of engineering and subordinates has also reached the level of professional shopkeepers.

These two are also Zhu Jingyuan's absolute descendants, and they are both people who Zhu Jingyuan has dealt with personally.

In terms of Xintianfu, there are still many people who come from the Dashiguo system, so Zhu Jingyuan is worried that his control over Xintianfu will weaken.

As long as the Huangzhuang management of Xintianfu retires normally, and his capable subordinates are promoted normally, he can gradually take Xintianfu firmly into his own hands.

For the personnel adjustment of Huangzhuang, we will only do these few items for the time being.

Next, Lei Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Construction, was transferred to the Daming Consortium as the treasurer.

Lei Hong presided over the design and construction of Yingtianfu New City, which is considered a great achievement in any era.

Engineering management personnel can indeed be transferred to the Daming Consortium.

Lei Hong, who has coordinated the construction of the entire Yingtian New City, is also capable of managing the basically stable Daming Consortium.

The big shopkeeper is the same as Jiuqing, and his salary is twice as much, which is definitely considered a promotion.

Finally, Wang Zhenyi, the treasurer of Daming Airlines, was added to the board of directors of the royal consortium.

Wang Zhenyi is 52 years old this year and is a typical representative of female elites in Ming Dynasty and even in the world.

In the original history, Wang Zhenyi died of illness at the age of 29.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't know what kind of disease he had in the original history, but it must have been cured in this world, and the medical ability of this world was more than one era higher than her previous life.

So she's alive and well, and still looks pretty healthy.

There is also Wang Jinpeng, the chief engineer in charge of the planning and construction of the Yinzhou Canal project. Zhu Jingyuan transferred him to the Royal Engineering Company as the treasurer, and at the same time joined the board of directors of the Royal Consortium.

In the end, Zhu Jingyuan transferred his ninth uncle Zhu Jianfeng from the Royal Board of Supervisors to the Royal Board of Directors as a full-time director.

After I became emperor, my uncles and uncles would have the opportunity to serve in the imperial court and other normal institutions.

Zhu Jingyuan believed in the ability of his ninth uncle, after all, he was once selected by his grandfather.

And he is only 51 years old this year, and he is still able to work.

As a full-time director, he has no direct management power, which is equivalent to a staff officer and a cabinet bachelor, and is responsible for making plans for himself.

If he wants to do the job, let him play his role and earn a bachelor's salary.

If you don't want to do it, just throw it back to the clan's courtyard.

I have no direct power, and the emperor has changed two generations, so he can't make any trouble.
