Valley Emperor

Some time ago, in order to compete for the steam engine order from the Northern Coal Company in the mining area, Tianjin Youbang Company did not hesitate to find the relevant officials of the Hebei Governor's Yamen, and asked them to put pressure on the Northern Coal Company not to let the Northern Coal Company adopt the order of Zhaoqing Machinery Company, instead. Order their AIA order.

The officials of the Hebei Governor's Yamen are naturally inclined towards the enterprises in their own jurisdictions. Now Tianjin AIA is the only large-scale high-tech enterprise in the northern provinces that can handle it, and it contributes to the local government every year. A lot of taxes, so it is also actively helping the AIA to run.

Although the Northern Coal Company is an enterprise under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, its business scope is not limited to the Hebei area. Basically, it covers several northern provinces. However, the face of Hebei still needs to be given, but this face-to-face is only limited. Just give it a fair chance.

If your steam engine has high performance and low price, he will buy it, otherwise, it will be useless for the governor of Hebei to come to your door!

In terms of relationship, Zhaoqing Machinery Company is not bad. They all directly found a senior official of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises to pass the word, because Zhaoqing Machinery Company is a wholly-owned enterprise of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and Northern Coal Company, which is a brother company, comparable to Tianjin. AIA is much stronger.

Although the results of the bidding have not yet come out, it can be seen from this how much competition between the two companies is now.

The rapid development of Tianjin AIA in the past few years is also closely related to the fact that they attach great importance to technology. On the one hand, they vigorously cooperate with the Royal Institute of Technology to purchase their technology patent licenses. Of course, this kind of thing, Now any business with a little brain will do this.

The technical authorization of the Royal Institute of Technology, except for a very small number of sensitive products, the authorization of most of the other products is mostly unlimited, and the exclusive authorization is not high. As long as your enterprise qualifications meet the standards, you can also pay , then you can obtain the technical authorization of the Royal Institute of Technology.

But still the same sentence, most of the technical authorizations of the Royal Institute of Technology are biased towards technical authorization, and many are even theoretical in nature. It is not easy to create a technical authorization after buying it back.

Therefore, most companies will also set up their own technical departments, but the technology researched by most companies is only how to turn technology authorization into products, and there are relatively few new products developed by themselves.

Tianjin AIA is different. They walk on two legs. On the one hand, they buy all the patent licenses that can be purchased. On the other hand, they set up a huge R&D institution on their own, and also carry out joint research and development with many domestic universities. , this is to develop its own exclusive technology.

The technical patents purchased from the Royal Institute of Technology are all non-exclusive patents, which means that there are second or even dozens of similar products in the domestic market. Under the protection, only your family can produce this new product. This is a monopoly. You can buy as much as you like.

Nowadays, many small and medium-sized enterprises in China are actually not large in scale and not rich in capital, but some of them are living quite well, and the profits make those big companies jealous.

Most of these small and medium-sized enterprises have their own technical patents and can produce one or two exclusive products.

A pencil company in Guangzhou is a typical example. In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the empire began to promote charcoal pens. At that time, Li Xuan originally wanted to make a pencil, but he didn’t expect to be the first to enter. A Guangzhou surnamed Chen The young scholar occasionally discovered that lead blocks could be used to write, and after pondering on his own, he turned out to be a pencil, and then directly applied for a patent, and then set up a small workshop to produce

As a result, even the people at the Royal Institute of Technology could only watch their pencil patent application be called back, because that Chen Xiucai applied a month earlier than them.

Finally, the pencil company established by Chen Xiucai in Guangzhou has grown from a small workshop to a large company step by step by relying on pencil patents. Nowadays, the pencils sold in the public market are basically produced by his company, and Chen Xiucai is also due to this. became a millionaire.

Of course, there are only four or five years left for this pencil patent. Many companies are counting their days, waiting for his patent to expire and rush to imitate production.

The strict patent protection system in China ensures that the new technologies invested and developed by individuals or companies can be protected and obtain huge profits, which is why many domestic enterprises attach so much importance to technology research and development.

However, there are very few companies that attach importance to technology research and development to Tianjin AIA, and invest more than 10% of the company's annual turnover in research and development.

This ten percent is not about profit, but about turnover.

The development of Tianjin AIA and the development of Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company, although the industry is different, but the development path is basically the same, they are all through attaching great importance to technology research and development, relying on technology to **** the market.

These two typical examples reflect the cruelty of competition in the entire imperial industry and commerce, especially in the industrial manufacturing industry!

A company without some technology is simply impossible to become bigger and stronger, and even survival is a problem.

In the past ten years or so, the days when you could just run a factory and make a few things and get rich overnight are gone forever.

Li Xuan maintained an encouraging attitude towards this kind of competition in the domestic market.

Only by maintaining healthy competition can we achieve better development. After all, the huge Datang Empire cannot be just a part of the enterprises controlled by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

The fundamental purpose of the enterprises controlled by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is not to develop the economy, but to develop national defense and stabilize people's livelihood. As for the ordinary market economy, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises has not participated too much.

If you look at the industries invested by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, you can see that most of them are concentrated in heavy industries, and very few light industries. It is a high-tech industry that has certain needs, and private enterprises are unwilling to invest, or are unable to invest in industries.

Nowadays, most of the enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are concentrated in the industries of weapons, energy, shipbuilding, shipping, and chemical industry, and most of them are related to the defense industry. Needless to say, the three major weapons companies, while energy includes The three major coal companies include Yangtze River Shipping for shipping, Nanyang, Dongyang and Western Trading Company for overseas trade, Jiangnan Shipyard, Guangzhou Shipyard and Tianjin Shipyard for shipbuilding, and Datang Chemical Company for chemical industry.

And almost every company mentioned above is basically related to national defense.

Therefore, although most of the enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are powerful and occupy a very large proportion of the national economy, they are still unable to take over the development of the entire national economy.

Even in the shipbuilding, shipping, coal, chemical and other industries, although most of the top companies in these industries are affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, in fact, more of them are private enterprises.

There are thousands of shipyards in China, but there are only a dozen shipyards under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

There are hundreds of large and small coal companies in China, and there are only three coal companies under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

The same is true for shipping. There is only one shipping company controlled by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, that is, the Yangtze River Shipping Company. As for the rest, all are private shipping companies.

This is also true of overseas trading companies. Although several major trading companies controlled by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and the Pacific Trading Company controlled by the Royal Assets Section together account for half of the overseas trade, the rest is generally divided up by private capital. .

Not to mention, in fact, except for some more sensitive companies, many of these companies in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are actually listed companies. Wholly-owned holding.

Private capital occupies a very important position in Datang's industrial and commercial economic development, and it is becoming more and more important.

However, it will not be important to the extent that it threatens the stability of the imperial regime, because Li Xuan does not allow it.

In Li Xuan's plan, the economic development model of the Tang Empire in the future will be that the enterprises controlled by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises will dominate the vital and sensitive industries such as national defense and people's livelihood, while private capital will act as the main source of other ordinary industries. Role.

Private capital makes money, and it is enough to provide taxation to the empire.

As for making guns and cannons, stabilizing people's livelihood, etc., these are not their tasks, but the tasks of national capital.

The two are separated and develop independently without interfering with each other.

Maybe after a hundred years or even decades~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the power of private capital will develop even more, and the technology of private enterprises will develop better. At that time, cooperation between state capital and private capital will inevitably be inevitable, but Li Xuan doesn't care what kind of impact it will bring at that time, since he won't live at that time anyway.

Therefore, when Li Xuan saw the domestic industrial and commercial development of Xuanping in the past 20 years, especially the report on the development of the private economy, he was quite relieved.

Although the political system of the Tang Empire was still a traditional feudal empire with a strong folk ethos, this did not seem to affect the rapid development of industry and commerce.

In terms of the political system, it was because Li Xuan made a series of improvements. Although it was still a centralized system of imperial power in essence, the specific manifestations were similar to those of some modern regimes in later generations, and it also absorbed certain characteristics of later modern countries. Advantages and disadvantages.

The combination of the two forms a very special Tang Empire!

You have to give this political system a position. It should be an improved imperial centralism that is more in line with the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty and contemporary development!
