Volume Five, Section 73, Top 500, Unyielding
It would be a lie to say that Sha Zhengyang had no interest in Zhong Guangbiao's invitation.
Unlike working at the grassroots level, state-owned enterprises in this era have considerable confidence in facing local party committees and governments, especially large enterprises such as Changhe Petroleum Administration, Changhe Oil Refinery and Dongshen Coal Mine, which have a condescending taste.
Just like Yintai’s Chinese Group and Hangang Group, when facing the Yintai County Party Committee and County Government, they treated them with a down-to-earth attitude, while the local party committee and government were in a weak position.
However, there are also many problems with state-owned enterprises now. Through the past decade of reform and opening up, the advantages of state-owned enterprises have been weakening, but the accumulated problems are increasingly exposed.
Especially with the bloated institutional system, a large number of redundant staff, low scary efficiency, a useless supervision system, a one-man decision-making model, and an aging leading cadre structure, it can be said that the urgency of the four modernizations of cadres is particularly prominent in state-owned enterprises.
Because unlike local areas, state-owned enterprises are now facing competition with township enterprises, private enterprises, Sino-foreign joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned enterprises with flexible mechanisms. Especially under the tremendous pressure of China's increasing pace of joining WTO, once they join WTO, state-owned enterprises are not ready for response, which may be a defeat. This is a huge sense of urgency from the central and local governments.
At the same time, the rise of Japanese and Korean enterprises and entering the Chinese market have also brought a thinking impact to China from top to bottom, from the government to enterprises. The entire state-owned enterprises are facing a profound reform and reform, delegating power, building the Fortune 500 in the world, and creating a strong voice for state-owned enterprises. This should be a major goal of this era from the central government to local party committees and governments.
1996 should be the time when the country has the highest enthusiasm for building a top 500 companies. Since the 1990s, chaebol-style enterprise groups from Japan and South Korea have jumped up and given great "inspiration" to Chinese companies.
Especially more corporate groups such as the Daewoo Group in South Korea, Hyundai Group, Samsung Group, and Japan's Mitsui Group, Mitsubishi Group and Sumitomo Group have shown a high spirit and have performed well in the domestic and international markets, and have become role models for domestic companies to learn.
If Japanese consortium companies still have decades of foundation, then in the eyes of Chinese domestic companies, emerging emerging enterprise groups such as Daewoo, Hyundai, and Samsung will suddenly emerge in the eyes of Chinese domestic companies. This is undoubtedly the best role model.
Can South Korea build such a huge private enterprise group in just 20 or 30 years? Can it be said that Chinese state-owned enterprises that are more state-supported than these private enterprises cannot do it?
As for the problems faced by the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, this kind of restructuring can be used to change the rigid, old-fashioned and inefficient model of state-owned enterprises, boldly delegate power, make core decisions, focus on the big and let go of the small, and promote the growth and development of enterprises.
Grasping the big and letting go of the small has become an accurate direction for the central government. Zhucheng's experience has been recognized by senior management, especially the achievements it has achieved, which has inspired senior management to recognize the direction of state-owned enterprise reform.
"Demolition of small boats, building large ships, and traveling to the ocean" has become a strategy pursued from the central government to the local government. The central government has determined that Baosteel, Haier, Jiangnan Shipbuilding, North China Pharmaceuticals, Peking University Founder and Changhong, as seed players, began to compete for the top 500 in the world. As provinces and cities, the top 500 in the country naturally became the target, and Zhejiang took the lead in launching this strategy.
Hangzhou's Goldfish Washing Machine Company, Dongbao Refrigerator, Chengfeng Fan and Huamei Freezer merged into the seemingly huge giant enterprise, Jinsong Group. This company is being formed in full swing and is expected to set sail soon.
Similarly, industry giants such as Sanjiu, Sitong, Lenovo, and Kelon are also taking action, advancing their grand strategies according to their own paths, striving to become leaders and leaders in future industries.
The Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government took advantage of the situation to combine these companies and build them into aircraft carriers in the energy industry, preparing to hit the top 500 in China, and the target is not just the top 500 in China.
According to the goals of the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, Hanchuan Province should strive to build a Fortune 500 company in the next 10 to 15 years, and Changhe Energy Group is the seed player.
In Sha Zhengyang's view, the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have taken this step well, and they will definitely take the lead after getting it.
Two years later, the domestic petrochemical industry will be reintegrated, and the two super giants of CNPC and Sinopec will take shape. With the later small giant of CNPC, there will basically be no other companies in China that can challenge the three positions in this field. The entire industry will be shrouded in these three companies, or in other words, shrouded in the shadow of CNPC and Sinopec.
Changhe Petroleum Co., Ltd. (Changhe Petroleum Administration) has been in the shadow of "war" with CNPC since its birth, competing for territory, market, resources, and disputes are unbreakable.
This is a dispute over interests, which is irreconcilable, and ultimately it can only be exchanged for a certain degree of compromise in exchange for temporary peace.
There is a conflict between a provincial state-owned enterprise and a central state-owned enterprise and is naturally at a disadvantage. Especially for such resource-based enterprises, central enterprises have natural suppression forces.
Even if you have the support of the provincial party committee and government, at most, you can protect you from being completely trampled to death. If you change to other companies, you will be lucky to stay wherever you are. If you don’t get it right, you will be lucky.
Changhe Petroleum Co., Ltd. (Changhe Petroleum Administration) certainly cannot compete with the giants of central enterprises, but companies always need to survive and develop, so you must seek to find a more suitable path to break through.
The Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have realized this. Taking the lead will definitely be stronger later. Moreover, with the help of the current trend of creating a top 500 from the central government to the local government, taking the lead has become a breakthrough for the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. This shows how great the hope the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government has placed on Changhe Energy Group.
There are several super-large enterprises in Hanchuan Province, including Hanfei Group, West China Electric, Southwest Automobile, Hanjiang Industry, etc., but they are all central enterprises and there are also many large provincial enterprises. However, there are not many enterprises that truly have the strength to impact the top 100 domestic enterprises. The Changhe Energy Group established now is undoubtedly one of the most powerful ones.
Perhaps because he felt Zhong Guangbiao's thoughts and intentions, and combined with his current situation in Zhenyang, Sha Zhengyang was also a little uneasy for a moment.
At the beginning of the great situation in Zhenyang, it is not Sha Zhengyang's wish to let himself leave, but Xiahou Tongcai has to work for at least two or even three years, which means that he can only take over as secretary after two or three years. The question is how many years he will have to work as secretary?
For others, this may be a smooth career promotion, but for yourself, it is not worth mentioning. You don’t have so much time to spend on it, but the promotion rules within the system must be like this.
As Zhong Guangbiao described, if you can really work in Changhe Energy Group, as long as you can achieve some results, it is highly likely that you will be promoted to a deputy department-level cadre within two or three years.
Sha Zhengyang is not opposed to working in state-owned enterprises, but he can't say he likes it very much.
He also has a deep understanding of the various disadvantages of state-owned enterprises, but it is undeniable that this is indeed the fastest way to advance, and it is just in time for the new construction of Changhe Energy Group, which is also an opportunity.
How to seize the initiative in the future development of enterprises and Sha Zhengyang, who has memories of the future petrochemical energy industry in the future, naturally has a unique advantage, so he is not worried that he will not achieve anything in Changhe Energy Group.
On the contrary, he felt that he could even allow Changhe Energy Group to stir up trouble in the domestic petrochemical industry and even in the international energy industry in the future, creating an impressive industrial giant.
However, this plan that I have worked hard to get rid of in the local area may have to be abandoned halfway. At most, it will be to promote the restructuring of township enterprises, and it may not even be able to completely clean up the Alloy Club. After all, you still need to wait for the arrival of the domestic climate, and it will take too long to wait.
Because of this thought, Sha Zhengyang felt a little unwilling to eat and seemed absent-minded.
Yang Guofu, who was sitting aside, was carefully observing Sha Zhengyang.
As a private boss in the coal industry, Yang Guofu may not know the i-Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the i-Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, but he must know the deputy i-Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee You Wangang, who is in charge of the industry and mining work. He also knows Gong Zhonglun, director of the Coal Industry Bureau, and Xiang Wenbo, the president of Yitai Coal Industry.
Of course, his level is too low, so he can only say that he knows others, but others don’t know him, so he is also careful when sitting here, clamping his feet and hands, and dare not say much.
The reason why he had the opportunity to sit in this scene was entirely because he met a noble friend and took the Su Lunkang line by chance.
He encountered some minor troubles when applying for a coal mine license, and his noble man helped him call Su Lunkang to solve the problem, and there was nothing else to do with it.
Because of this, he also remembered it in his heart. When he learned that Su Lunkang was married, he took the initiative to express his desire to attend the wedding. After this noble friend solicited Su Lunkang's opinions, he declined. However, he continued to contact and clear through various relationships, and finally gained approval.
In fact, he would have to be honest and shameless and not be kicked out without invitation, but he believed that etiquette should be reached so that he could understand the rules and not be annoying.
The various things that Sha Zhengyang showed made Yang Guofu quite moved, not only because of the calmness and calmness of Sha Zhengyang and You Wangang's greetings, not only because of Sha Zhengyang's knowledge when he was just talking, but also because he was the only one among everyone present who regarded himself as an equal person, and even respected and recognized himself quite well.
This is a feeling that Yang Guofu has never gained before.
There were people present, and even Xu Guangzu, the deputy county magistrate of the same county, didn't talk much to him, and he felt a little bit distracted. As for the others, they were even more lazy to say something to him. However, this county magistrate Sha took the initiative to talk to him, and even asked a lot of questions about his industry and put forward many suggestions.
Regardless of whether the suggestions he made were feasible, this kind of intention alone moved Yang Guofu, and this respect was better than everything.
