Chapter 889: Imperial Oil (Part 2)

D Wang Guorui immediately ordered the establishment of an Imperial Oil Company, and even established a Ministry of Energy in this cabinet. The main responsibility of the Ministry of Energy is to be in charge of oil, and other energy sources are actually secondary responsibilities. Because coal will withdraw from the mainstream sooner or later, and other energy sources are not widely applicable, so oil is the most fundamental thing in the future. However, this Ministry of Energy is actually just a department in charge of policy affairs, and will not intervene in specific oil affairs, so that they can start preparing for responsible affairs.

"I plan to set up two oil companies, Imperial Oil and Imperial Royal Oil, in this country. Of these two oil companies, Imperial Oil will be government-controlled, and then we, Royal and Honored, will be the main shareholders. Imperial Royal Oil will use Royal Holdings , in the form of Xungui and the government's shareholding. Then the two oil companies can carry out cross-shareholding, which ensures that they have both contact and competition, so that they maintain a certain strategic cooperation position, but they also have certain At that time, these companies will receive local dividends and put them into the royal fund, responsible for giving the royal descendants various venture capital, as well as various living capital, etc., at least they can still live comfortably. Da Fu It may not be expensive, but at least most of the close relatives of the royal family can get a good life." Wang Guorui said.

For oil and some important energy sources, Wang Guorui still adopts the method of later governments, mainly using state-owned capital, and restricting other private capital from entering these important energy industries. Because if you don't sit in this position, you can't imagine the danger of such an important energy industry in private hands. In fact, although many people continue to spray the so-called dictatorship of the so-called control of these national lifeline industries, but if these national lifeline industries are in private hands like gringos, how will private individuals use these resources? Although the control of state-owned capital will bring many problems. However, it can be guaranteed to a large extent that he serves the whole people, not private individuals.

Capitalists don't have a motherland, so as long as the interests are sufficient, they can sell anything, this is not just casually said. If state-owned capital control is adopted, even if there are various ills in it on weekdays. But at least at critical times, he will not lose the chain, because he is in the hands of the country. As for those so-called key industries that allow privatization, it is nothing more than some wanting to eat these cakes. As a result, a large group of ordinary onlookers were also blind. In fact, even if the privatization of key industries is really opened up, those onlookers will be poor in the end, and they will not get a penny for it.

Of course, Wang Guorui will not allow those key domestic industries to be privately controlled, and the consequences will definitely be unpredictable. In the eyes of capitalists, their own wealth is often far more important than the country, and if the country dies, it can give them more benefits. They don't mind being the country's gravediggers. Therefore, Wang Guorui is of course worried about handing over these key industries to private individuals. This can prove its importance. Therefore, in the current domestic financial industry, even the central bank that holds the right to issue currency is controlled by Wang Guorui Royal Holdings. If Wang Guorui wants to issue more currency, it is also possible.

The same is true for the energy industry. Key energy industries must be in the hands of the state and Wang Guorui's royal family, so that they will not mess around for the overall benefit. If it is in private hands, in order to maximize their benefits, they may disregard the overall environment and do things in order to save costs. In later generations, although everyone scolds the environment for pollution, in fact it is private enterprises that pollute the environment. Leaders of state-owned enterprises have greater concerns than private enterprises. Once there is a problem with environmental protection, they will lose their official title, and their concerns are much greater than that of many private companies. They pay more attention to environmental pollution than private companies.

But private enterprises are just the opposite. They are unwilling to invest funds in those worthless environmental protection projects. As a result, a large amount of waste that pollutes the environment is directly excreted. Of course, there are government supervision that is not in place, but this also shows that capitalists are after all based on personal interests, and often ignore the overall interests for personal interests. Today they can discharge sewage at will in order to save costs, but can they guarantee that they can stick to the bottom line in the face of national interests tomorrow?

Of course there are reasons for government supervision, but individual capitalists are often willing to take risks for the sake of profit, so it is normal for some key industries to be controlled by the government. Capitalists can take advantage. But it is absolutely impossible to completely rely on them and completely trust them. Although the capitalists are the people who promote progress, they must not rely on them completely, otherwise they will not know how to die. Capitalists can do anything for profit. On the contrary, politicians have far higher concerns than capitalists. Politicians are more credible than capitalists, at least in certain special and fatal situations. Therefore, if some key industries are controlled by private individuals, I am afraid that most of them will be unreliable at critical times. Maybe this "critical time" is not much, but as long as you take such a cold breath for you, the fate of your country will be in jeopardy.

"This key industry must be controlled by the government and royal nobles. Only in this way can we avoid problems at critical times. Although there may be many disadvantages in this way, at least it is better than subjugation of the country! We can't afford to gamble, even if it is only 1% Everything is possible, and we can’t even afford to gamble. So we don’t need to gamble, and there’s no need to gamble with the luck of the country. We are not crazy like the Japanese, who gamble with the luck of the country. The Japanese are barefoot and are not afraid to wear clothes. Shoes, we are not this kind of people! We in China are 'wearing shoes', so there is no need to take risks with them. So we can avoid risks, and in this respect, we should avoid risks!" Wang Guorui said.

"And our royal family controls this key domestic industry, so that we can ensure that our royal family will do our best to control the country in the future, and can continue our royal status as the real power as much as possible. And it can also allow us to obtain a lot of wealth, and gradually fade out in our royal family. After the public view, we can ensure that we have enough inheritance, and can grasp these special powers, and finally ensure that we can get more continuations, and try to secretly grasp a lot of real power. In the future, the way we govern the country directly from the government will change. , we will gradually fade out of the government of direct rule, and will control the economy, and then control those key industries, so as to ensure that our royal family can live a better life. So I set up these two to be related to each other, but they are Oil companies that operate independently. One is led by the government and we are assisted. The other is led by our royal family, and then the nobles and the government are assisted. Then they compete and cooperate with each other to ensure control of our oil."

However, Zheng Hong asked dissatisfied: "Why not concentrate it all in our hands? Wouldn't we be able to have more wealth in this way?"

Wang Guorui promised Zheng Hong that Wang Guorui and her children will inherit more than 40% of the wealth, so this is related to the wealth of her children, and she is even more related as a mother. Since he couldn't let his son inherit the throne, at least he had to seek more wealth. It is the nature of every Chinese parent to seek a future for their children, and it is difficult to completely eliminate it.

"There is no way, the same sentence, born in sorrow and die in peace. If we get everything right, then our descendants will definitely not have a sense of crisis, and they will naturally have no scruples. Instead of doing this, it is better to give them Leaving some sense of crisis and making them feel less secure is the best way to prevent them from dying."

"As for other reasons, that is, I don't want to concentrate all energy in our same company, so I'm afraid we will be scolded. Think about it, if we concentrate all the oil industry in our one company In my hand, wouldn’t that mean we will be scolded to death by the people? So we have to separate~lightnovelpub.net~ On the surface it looks like two companies, but in fact we are just the same boss. It’s like two shops competing with each other and scolding each other, and then people buy from each other from different shops. Then it looks like the people get benefits, but in fact the two companies are actually controlled by the same boss.”

"We have to let the people find a place to vent their anger. Let them scold our company today, and let them scold another company tomorrow. In this way, the two sides are scolded in turn, so that the people have a chance to vent their anger. But if there is only one company, then we can certainly do it. Unscrupulous monopoly, but the common people will point all their fingers at this company, which is not good for us."

Wang Guoruifei went out to understand the importance of dispersing the anger of the people and letting the people curse and vent their anger. The ancient feudal dynasties deliberately sealed the mouths of the people, and all those who were dissatisfied with the government were killed. This is actually useless, but it will suppress the anger and finally explode.

If this is the case, it is better to let the people scold hard, anyway, let them finish scolding and it will be over, and they will all vent their anger because of it. In this way, what should I do in the end or what should I do, anyway, I won’t lose a piece of meat if I get scolded! If the common people are not allowed to scold them, then the government itself will suffer in the end, because the anger of the common people is like a spring, the more you suppress it, the more violent it will erupt in the end, it is better to give them a chance to vent, this will help rule by itself.
