Valley Emperor

.., Emperor of the Valley

Shanghai Wharf Company, as the earliest and typical local government-run enterprise, although the management right is in the hands of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and the management model is similar to that of other enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises of the Empire, but in the final analysis, it is still a local government-run enterprise, and the local yamen contributes capital Established, so the shares are not in the hands of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, but the finance of Songjiang Prefecture and the special county of Shanghai, and the profits are also owned by the finance of Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County.

And in this way, the management of the company is somewhat chaotic, and when there is chaos, there is also soil for corruption. Therefore, when Zhou Lide fell, the company's more than a dozen core management were also wiped out, not a single one. The rest were all killed by the Inspectorate!

So when Chen Lifu saw the dock that had been shut down, he couldn't help but bring up the details of the company that has a pivotal position in Shanghai.

It doesn't matter how much assets this company has, whether it makes money or not. Chen Lifu doesn't care at all. When he established this government-run enterprise, no one thought about making money for this company. Its core purpose is to open a business zone. As well as industrial areas, especially the construction of docks and dockside facilities.

This company's exhibition almost represents the exhibition in Shanghai, so don't be sloppy!

With the current situation of this company, Chen Lifu feels that it is necessary to reform!

Maybe, when I come to Shanghai, I can use this company as an entry point to display my ambitions!

This company's biggest asset is the land on both sides of the Huangpu River. From the industrial zone to the commercial zone, it is more than ten kilometers long, and the total amount of land along the river is more than 30 square kilometers on both sides of the strait. All belong to the company!

Although nominally, the company only has management rights, and the official can take back the management rights at any time, but this kind of thing can only exist in theory. After all, Shanghai Terminal Company is a government-run enterprise. As long as there is no change in equity, it will basically will not be taken back.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that these lands belong to the Shanghai Terminal Company.

It's just that their land along the river is limited to about 1,000 meters wide on both sides of the river, about 17 kilometers in length, and the total area on both sides of the river is 34 kilometers.

The government did not hand over the land within 6 to 1000 meters to them, but managed it separately.

At first, the government did not expropriate large-scale land in China, but only expropriated the land within the commercial and industrial areas. The land outside these two areas, except for some of the land originally belonged to the government, mostly belonged to the government. Private land, this part is mainly concentrated in the gap between the commercial and industrial areas, and the peripheral land of the commercial and industrial areas is also mostly privately owned.

Therefore, in Shanghai, there are actually three government-run enterprises that manage large tracts of state-owned land, namely the terminal company, the business zone management company, and the industrial zone management company.

At the same time, the south bank of the Huangpu River has not been opened, and there is no value to open for the time being. Therefore, the valuable land should belong to the land on the north bank!

But this is enough. These coastal lands not only have ports, but also important commercial areas.

Although the most prosperous part along the river in the business district is only a little bit, its management rights belong to the Shanghai Wharf Company.

The Shanghai Wharf Company, which owns a large amount of land, applies for a large number of loans to build the wharf and infrastructure, and then relies on the wharf service to lease the land and buildings along the river for profit.

Its core business model is not actually a port business, but a port-driven business development, which in turn promotes the appreciation of land and buildings, and then rents them out for profit.

Originally, these profits were planned to be used for re-construction, but as Shanghai's industry and commerce become more and more prosperous, shipping becomes more and more prosperous, and the Shanghai Terminal Company is also making more and more money. The money earned is not only used for investment. In addition to infrastructure construction, part of the profits can also be turned over to the finances!

The Shanghai Terminal Company has made money, and it has made a lot of money. At the same time, the management model is relatively chaotic, which naturally attracted the peeps of many people, including the former Shanghai magistrate Zhou Lide.

As a result, Zhou Lide was finished, and a group of officials from the Shanghai Terminal Company were also left behind, and all of them were arrested.

Although Shanghai Wharf Company is a commercial company, like other SOE enterprises, its management, especially the first-in-command and second-in-command, are all high-ranking officials dispatched by the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises.

rather than a mere businessman.

So when people were arrested, they were not ordinary patrol officers, but the censors of the anti-corruption department of the Inspectorate.

At that time, the management of Shanghai Wharf Company was almost blamed, and there was even a debate within the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, that is, whether the management of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises must be held by officials, or whether they can hire professional managers from the private sector. The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises only Take control of the board.

However, this kind of debate is basically not expected to have any results in a short period of time. Even if a real reform plan is formulated, it is necessary to reform so many enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises into pure commercial companies. The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is only a controlling shareholder but If you do not participate in management, it is also difficult to form.

The biggest obstacle is from the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises!

The greatest power of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is to have the right to manage government-run enterprises. If there is no power, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises has no value at all.

At the same time, if it does not participate in management, but simply holds shares, it is also contrary to some of the current industrial exhibition plans of the empire.

After all, for the state-owned enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, the purpose of making profits is not at all. The purpose is to establish a sound industrial system and consolidate national defense. In fact, many of these things are not profitable, or even lose money.

For example, today's three major weapons companies, with the end of the domestic unification war, the demand for various weapons has been greatly reduced. In fact, they are not making much money. However, in order to maintain the production capacity of large-scale production of weapons during wartime, they cannot Shut down the production line directly, otherwise, what will happen when the war breaks out and mass production of weapons is needed?

Even the military has given certain subsidies, such as increasing the purchase price of weapons. For example, it is clear that there is no demand, but it still continues to purchase certain weapons in small batches to maintain the survival of the arsenals under the three major weapons companies. However, This is still relatively difficult.

So now, the major arsenals under the three major domestic weapons companies, except for a few arsenals, such as the arsenals that produce new weapons, such as flint guns, artillery arsenals, can still maintain relatively good profits.

Most of them, especially some factories specializing in the production of consumable materials, such as ammunition factories, can only maintain a state of micro-profit or even non-profit.

This kind of thing doesn’t make money, and sometimes it even has to be subsidized, so only government-run enterprises can do it. If it were replaced by a private enterprise, they would simply close the factory and fire workers to cut costs.

If it is said that all the brains are reformed into pure commercial companies, many things cannot be done.

Like the steam engine!

The price is so expensive, and the operating cost is also very high. In addition to being relatively practical in major mines, in fact, in ordinary factories, the cost performance is far less than that of water power.

However, many enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises still use these steam engines in large quantities. Why, it is not to support the development of steam engines.

If there is no procurement, there will be no production, and no profits will be used to maintain subsequent research. At the same time, without large-scale application, it will be difficult to realize some problems in actual use, and subsequent continuous improvement cannot be achieved.

But the determination of the empire to show the steam engine is unquestionable. The Son of Heaven is staring at the steam engine show in person!

Therefore, even if the price is high and the operating cost is high, those companies under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises have to grit their teeth, because this is a political task and cannot be refused!

Otherwise, at the Royal Institute of Technology, how can there be funds to maintain the follow-up steam engine research!

How can Zhaoqing Machinery Co., Ltd. have the funds to upgrade and improve the subsequent manufacturing process!

Fortunately, after a few years of this, the performance of the steam engine has become more and more advanced. Although the price of the steam engine is still not cheap and the operating cost is still high, it will not cause problems every day like before. This stability After coming up, even if the price is slightly more expensive, it can replace water power in some specific cases.

For example, where there are no rivers and it is difficult to use water power on a large scale, there is no water power available, and a steam engine is the best substitute.

Another example is in the mining area, the role of the steam engine has been completely played out, and it is irreplaceable.

In this case, people also see the prospect of the steam engine being completely applied to the industry!

In terms of military applications, the navy has already tried to move steam engines to ships. In the early years, they built test ships, and then installed the latest steam engines on several expedition ships. Of course, it is limited by the actual steam engine. Performance, as a ship's power is still very insufficient.

The navy's installation of steam engines on ships is more symbolic than practical!

The research, production and application of steam engines have always been dominated by the government, and the enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises have played a huge role in it. They have undertaken a large amount of funds and also acted as guinea pigs to test and use.

If there were no government-run enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, or if the government did not directly control the management of these government-run enterprises, they would not have applied these steam engines, which are far from mature, on a large scale, and would not have provided them for the research and development of steam engines. a lot of money.

But now the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises and even the top executives of the Empire are all shaken by the turmoil in the Shanghai Wharf Company, which has shaken the management model of the government-run enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, not to mention them, even Li Xuan is a little skeptical about this government-run model, is it right? Reform, how to reform?

Li Xuan knew that a large number of government-run enterprises in the late Qing Dynasty failed in the end. Similarly, a large number of government-run enterprises in later generations did not have a successful example. Even the three barrels of oil that monopolized the oil industry were shouting every day. Lose it!

But Li Xuan is more clear, the one-vote government-run enterprise in the late Qing Dynasty allowed China to have modern industry for the first time, Hanyang Arsenal, Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau, Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau, Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, etc., although weak, but still propped up The sky of China's modern industry.

And not to mention the future generations, all the state-run enterprises in the national defense industry!

From an economic point of view, many government-run enterprises in the Datang Empire have failed, and those arsenals are a typical example!

From a political point of view, this thing is also very rubbish. The Shanghai Terminal Company is a typical example, which is extremely prone to corruption!

However, from the perspective of the entire country's industrial system and national defense construction, Datang needs these government-run enterprises in a short period of time!

However, a government-run enterprise like the Shanghai Wharf Company cannot continue like this. There is such a large-scale corruption this time, and there will definitely be another next time!

Because, behind all this, it is not the greed of people's hearts or anything, but the problem of the system. Without a perfect system, corruption will never be eradicated.

Because greed is possessed by all people and cannot be eliminated, if you want a person not to be greedy, it is impossible to talk to them about morality. You must eliminate the possibility of him being greedy in the system!

Chen Lifu looked at the construction site of the Shanghai Wharf Company, which had been suspended. Although the people were still on the ship and it had not yet reached the shore, he had already made up his mind. His new official took office for three fires, and the first fire was the first fire. Burn this Shanghai Dock Company!

By setting fire to the Shanghai Wharf Company, Chen Lifu wanted the officials of Songjiang Prefecture, gentry businessmen and even ordinary people to know that he was here, Chen Lifu!

,Wonderful!
