v5 Chapter 889: Chaotic times, chaotic state-owned enter

Quoting "Senior members sat together. Naturally, the discussion will not be the trivial mulberry, but some things that are closely related to the national economy.

For example, some people mentioned some recent policies proposed by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. Before that, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce suddenly issued a policy announcing that if a state-owned enterprise wants to advertise, its investment amount must be controlled at 2% of the company's pre-tax sales income. The ban is alleged to be to prevent state-owned enterprises from throwing advertisements indiscriminately and wasting national property.

In the last two years. The advertising superstar in China's consumer goods market is a state-owned pharmaceutical company called Harbin Pharmaceutical Group in Northeast China. Before last year, it was a little-known medium-sized pharmaceutical factory with total assets of only 100 million yuan. The annual research and development expenses never exceed 2.5 million yuan.

But since last year, it suddenly implemented an advertising bombing strategy. 700 million yuan was spent last year, and the advertising budget for the first five months of this year has exceeded 600 million yuan, making it China's largest advertising account in one fell swoop. Harbin Pharmaceutical's popularity and sales have also risen sharply. Under its demonstration effect, state-owned pharmaceutical factories and electrical appliances factories in various places have also started advertising wars. The advertising revenues of CCTV and various party media have risen sharply, and everyone is happy. Mouth from ear to ear.

When the advertising quota was ordered, the company suddenly became a mess, and the media was even more complaining. The Administration for Industry and Commerce had no choice but to make additional provisions, announcing that the most ad-impulsive industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food, daily chemical and home appliance companies, could increase the proportion of advertising to 8%.

But even if it is 8%, there is not much money. It still cannot meet the ambitions of pharmaceutical manufacturers who want to obtain curative effects through advertising, nor can it meet the requirements of other companies who want to quickly enter the market in this industry. Soon, this limit order was no longer mentioned.

Of course, there are also policies that are more absurd than the advertising quota. In order to prevent state-owned pharmacies from competing with each other to grab business, some drug regulatory departments have issued a policy that stipulates that a second retail pharmacy is not allowed to be opened within the rice brewing area. Peking University I also asked the professor cried and laughed, how can the government ensure that it is reasonable to persuade the rice to be more than a reasonable distribution? It is Tian Mi Nei opening three stores, whether to make a profit or to compensate the operators of their own pharmacies to bear the consequences themselves, why bother the government? \\\'’Although his questioning was very powerful, some people still raised a counter-examination, saying if those state-owned pharmacies lost money. Don’t you want the government to wipe their ass?

These two issues have brought the contradiction that has lasted for more than two decades to the system.

This kind of regulatory thinking of the drug regulatory department seems ridiculous, but its inherent logic is very clear, that is, to prevent blockade or semi-monopoly industries from hacking and killing each other between state-owned enterprises. It seems to the regulation that, The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat. The result of competition is the loss of state-owned assets. Of course, the best state is friendship first and competition second.

The story of being born in the aviation industry is very typical. Since the 1990s, the enthusiasm of airlines and airline companies has risen sharply, and more than 30 state-owned airlines, large and small, have emerged, becoming the world's largest number of airlines. s country.

In order to grab the source of customers, these companies have launched discounts and competitions. In 1998, the major airlines had a total of more than 5 billion yuan in profits. By the beginning of last year, the entire industry was at a loss, and the Civil Aviation Administration finally couldn't bear it. It used the practice of competing for discounts to cause a huge loss of state-owned assets, which must be stopped, and issued a ban on discounts in February last year. All companies are strictly prohibited from discounts.

When this order came out, it was naturally an uproar in public opinion, who accused the Civil Aviation Administration of putting the interests of the industry above consumers and relying on administrative skills to interfere with market competition. However, the effect of the ban on discounts was immediate. Only half a year later, the Civil Aviation Administration announced that the industry had turned losses in six months, with a cumulative profit of 260 million yuan, a year-on-year reduction of nearly 500 million yuan. 700 million yuan of state-owned assets

.

However, the ban cannot change the competitive landscape that has already emerged in the aviation industry.

It didn't take long. In order to grab business, the airlines turned the open trade into a secret trade, and gradually returned to the original state. The Civil Aviation Administration of China made repeated orders but could not stop the pace of commercial laws. By the first two months of this year, the entire industry had reported more than 2 billion yuan. Yuan loss.

At the same time that the civil war among the state-owned airlines has continued, some private business owners have quietly entered. Shanghai Spring and Autumn International Travel Service is a private company engaged in the tourism business. It has been in this industry since 1994. The chairman of the board of directors who is a pilot has entered the air charter business since 1997. He relies on his own tour group. The company’s business resources, boldly contracted some small and medium-sized airlines, their fares are of course much lower than that of state-owned companies on the same route.

In order to circumvent the no discount policy, they deliberately obscure the prices and pack the tourist guide fees, accommodation fees, and air tickets together. Although the authorities were very annoyed, they had nothing to do with him. Later, he admitted that their internal pricing is actually very low. For example, the fare from Shanghai to Xiamen is lower than the fare for a hard-sleeper train.

Compared with the conservative aviation industry, the anti-monopoly of the telecommunications industry has come to the fore.

As the saying goes, ** brings efficiency, and monopoly yields benefits. In fact, from the very beginning, people have questioned the huge profits in the industry. The first target was the telecommunications company associated with each household.

Last year, China Telecom achieved revenue of 229.5 billion yuan. The annual growth rate is 25%. Some experts have raised questions about the charging system of telecommunications. According to the telecommunications charging regulations at the time, consumers who made a phone call would have to pay three minutes for less than three minutes. Someone calculated that the telecommunications companies charged more than 26 billion yuan each year.

Under the pressure of public opinion, the telecommunications department held a tariff hearing. CCTV specifically filmed and broadcasted aggressive questions from media reporters. The telecommunications officials replied impatiently that they really did not have the energy to explain the adjustment details to everyone. "" is obviously very sad, and the atmosphere, including the media, criticizes the bureaucracy of the telecommunications sector. Unfortunately, they have a thick skin and don't care about it.

March of this year. One hundred and seven professors from Xijiang University wrote a letter to the government and the media, and proposed a proposal for another charging system for telecommunications companies.

.

The initiator of the joint letter said that many of the calls that were opened but no one answered were hung up by themselves, but were charged by the telecommunications bureau. They provided a thick list of calls. On a list of fifty long-distance calls, there were five calls that were shorter than 30 seconds. There is also a detailed sheet. Twenty-three. There were ten short and long conversations on the phone.

The attentive professors also made a special test. They made long-distance calls that rang many times but were not connected. As a result, they were charged for the long-distance call slips printed by the telecommunications bureau.

…Strictly calculate that there were more than 2 million telephone users in a Zhizhou at that time, calculated on the basis of the long-term life of each Danhu species that did not answer. The ringing fee charged amounts to 1.2 million yuan, which is more than 10 million yuan a year.

The professors hope to give an explanation to those who are not aware of the overpayment.

The Hangzhou Telecom Bureau finally made a little progress and sent someone to have a dialogue with the professor representative.

Facing his former teacher. The explanation given by the person in charge of the telecommunications bureau is that the ultra-short-time charges may be caused by the fax machine, answering phone, server, etc. on the other party's line, or the other party's hands may be slippery. The telephone network was dropped after picking it up, and Hangzhou Telecom was definitely not a problem.

Of course, this kind of conversation broke up. A professor ridiculed that there are computer experts and automatic control experts among us. There are also communication system experts. Why are the answers given by students not what we taught them?

Tariff adjustments and ringing news were all lively for a while, but in the end it was nothing. The price slack of telecommunications companies is ultimately driven by market competition.

In order to support the declining railway transportation department, the State Council approved the Ministry of Railways to establish the China Railway Communications Information Co., Ltd., and licensed it to carry out fixed-line telephone communications services.

As soon as Tietong was established, the first thing to open the door was to announce that the initial installation fee for the phone was 600 yuan.

In the past few years, the initial telephone installation fee has always been the most stable and lucrative piece of telecommunications companies’ profits. After years of appeal from consumers, this fee has dropped from five thousand five hundred yuan to one thousand two hundred and fifty yuan. But he refused to go down.

This time Tietong rushed in. The strategy naturally needs to be adjusted, and China Telecom responded quickly and announced the cancellation of the initial installation fee.

Tietong’s abacus to grab a big win from the monopoly bowl fell through, but unexpectedly gave consumers all over China a real benefit. "" "Monopoly industries will eventually fail, and uncompetitive enterprises will eventually go bankrupt, just like the domestic telecommunications industry. If there is no monopoly, they will definitely not be able to compete with private enterprises." Wang Xuyun said.

The main direction of the Bijiu club is to stare at the industry, including two parts of computer software and hardware, as well as a part of communication products. Therefore, Wang Xujun is very aware of the situation in this area, especially complaining about the situation of the domestic telecommunications industry.

In the past experience. There have been many computer network failures due to the telecommunications sector. When encountering such problems, users always have to call the computer supplier. Ask what is going on?

"We don't have a scapegoat for them." Wang Xujun said helplessly. "In places where our optical fiber network is not covered, most users are still using dial-up Internet access. Therefore, when they encounter trouble, they call the telecommunications department to request a solution. At the time, they always put the blame on us for the first time, saying that it was a computer failure that caused the Internet to be unable to access the Internet. In fact, there are ten cases where their network went wrong."

Everyone nodded. In fact, the scourge of blockade is very great. It seems that the government has made money from it, but this kind of money is not caused by the competitiveness of the industry, but at the expense of ordinary consumers. It is very sad to exchange it for the interests of the common people.

From housing, medical education to telecommunications and telecommunications, the common people criticize their mothers and say that they are too expensive. This is because the supply is insufficient and the prices are too high. This shows that the demand is very strong. Why does not see the capital come in because the government does not let in.

In the face of an uncertain future, the people dare not spend money, and capital is not dared to invest casually. Is it useful for the government to spend money on behalf of the people? It works, but only for a while.

In this regard, Fan Wubiao believes that the reason why China's economy was able to emerge from the shadow of the financial turmoil in 1998 was mainly due to the housing reform that triggered real estate investment, and the other was that the addition of... .

But if you want to completely solve this problem, you can only break industry regulations and allow private capital to enter the fields of medical care, education, communications, railways, culture, entertainment, and even finance.

"In fact, a brief review of China's economic growth since the reform and opening up is that the driving force behind it is the institutional reform that breaks the monopoly of the industry, and the full flow of production factors such as people, finances, and materials across all sectors will finally achieve today's achievements. "Fan Wuyao said to everyone. "But since the beginning of this year, the signs we have observed are not that the industry is becoming more open. It is that the barriers to entry in the industry are getting higher and higher. Many industries are not the people advancing and the country retreating, but the country advancing and the people retreating. For example, like Some steel industries, in order to pursue the so-called concentration, do not hesitate to rely on administration to suppress private capital and rely on the administrative method of lalang allocation to carry out business combination. Major ministries and commissions are also willing to engage in the so-called industrial combination and intervene in the market in the name of industrial upgrading. The system’s resource allocation efficiency has actually receded."

Seeing that everyone listened very seriously~lightnovelpub.net~ Fan Wuyi emphasized his tone and said, "If you do not open up the industry access barriers, do not accelerate the pace of market reforms, and do not break the government industry monopoly, the Chinese economy has no future. But these changes will offend too many people. It is more convenient to burn money to stimulate the economy. Anyway, now our savings rate is high and we have money to burn. System reform is a long-term thing, and in this long-term. Those of us. People are already dead!"

Everyone burst into laughter. They all said that Mr. Fan's words sounded very reasonable, but the ability to be alarmist was also first-rate, and the ability to deceive people was even higher. If you were to be a man. It is estimated that the words of the cult leader are more difficult to deal with than the leader of the circle. As for the Asahara Sapporo of Japan, it is scum.

In fact, Fan Wubing believes that monopoly in economics is only a choice in property management, and it is related to monopoly in politics. That is, the use of violent political means to eliminate competitors is different.

In the absence of administrative intervention, monopoly is just a choice of property management, not necessarily a good choice, nor is it necessarily a bad choice, that is, it is just a legal choice. For example, a monopoly like Microsoft is completely The choice of the market, in fact, no second company can compete with it.

The monopoly under administrative intervention is like the monopoly of the domestic telecommunications or aviation industry. In fact, it uses the cost of administrative input to provide consumers with high-quality products or services, and this administrative cost is still the taxpayer himself. Burdened, from the perspective of the benefit of privilege being property rights, this is ideal.

In other words, although the current monopoly can allow state-owned enterprises to delay their respite, what they are harming is the interests of the whole people.
