Chapter 728: No Supervision
Regarding the bursting of the Internet bubble in 1999, some people say that it was all caused by capital, but after further reflection, they found that the real advocate of the bubble is still in the Internet companies themselves.
The basic context behind this madness is actually a money-burning movement in the whole society catalyzed by venture capital, making up dreams, raising funds, burning money, going public, and burning money. On the one hand, there is no ready-made experience in the Internet economy to learn from, and capital requires the creation of Internet companies. On the other hand, good concepts can touch the hearts of investors, thereby raising a large amount of funds for Internet companies in the stock market. Internet companies use concepts instead of operations in a high fever.
As a result, the social division of labor is diluted, the boundaries between customers and competitors are blurred, and the entire industry has formed a pattern of being the king, but it has formed a phenomenon of low-level duplicate construction.
When reflecting on the current Internet, there is another very important issue that cannot be ignored, which is the excessive deification of Internet tools and the lag of subject informatization. At best, the Internet is just a tool in the Internet economy, not the main body of the Internet economy. It cannot dominate and dominate the social economy.
Various actual situations also show that whether in the retail industry, manufacturing or transportation industry, the main factors are more important than the tool factors played by the Internet.
It should be admitted that after experiencing the baptism of the Internet bubble, companies will become more mature and have stronger survivability and competitiveness.
Before any new technological revolution or industrial revolution reaches its peak, there is almost a process of creating bubbles and bursting bubbles. In this sense, the Internet bubble is not worth making a fuss, it is just a necessary path before maturity.
Of course, at the moment when the bubble burst, someone always needs to pay one or another price for it. Some of these people are willing and some are forced to do so, but no matter what, they are the so-called Internet pioneers.
Fan Wubing played with Ziqi for three days, and during this period he also gave her many commentary and general trend predictions about the stock market and the world economy. Ziqi benefited a lot. After all, Fan Wubing himself is a master of playing this trick, not to mention that he has many years of prescient ideas now.
But his father Fan Heng called him to discuss things again. After a while of discussion, the senior management finally had a relatively unified view on cooperation with military-industrial enterprises.
"In principle, the senior management has agreed to build a private military-industrial enterprise in China, but it cannot be too high-profile. At least before achieving certain achievements, it is impossible to promote it with great fanfare. It is best to have a name as a cover. In addition, the issue of site selection needs to be considered." Fan Heng said to his son, "Now I will ask you, what is the success rate of this matter?"
Fan Wubing was really surprised that private military-industrial enterprises could obtain approval. Although this change was still under the ice, it means the beginning of a new era. Although private military-industrial enterprises will definitely be subject to certain restrictions in their business scope, once this door is opened, it means that domestic military-industrial enterprises have entered the deepest level, that is, the most substantial part.
"If I leave it to me to operate, there will be no failure." Fan Wubing thought of what he had been planning secretly, and was very confident in his heart, but he didn't understand why the senior management took such a big step this time?
"This incident is caused by pressure from the international situation. Since we are demanding new changes and making a breakthrough, we must spend a lot of money." Fan Heng explained to his son, "However, although we can be solely owned, the state will send military representatives as supervisors."
"Military representative?" Fan Wubing asked.
"Well, military representative." Fan Heng nodded and replied.
The military representative system originated during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. At that time, most of the domestic enterprises that produced military products were private enterprises and were derived from semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. Capitalists were profit-oriented and did not consider national interests at all. In that historical context, it was necessary and necessary to send military representatives to factories.
After years of construction, under the conditions of a market economy, military scientific research and production have been on the right track. There is no need to send military representatives to enterprises. On the contrary, it will cause many problems and seriously hinder the modernization of national defense.
Most of the current military representatives are from college graduates, or some idle military personnel with backstage. They have not been trained by front-line troops, only theoretical knowledge, the most basic tactical qualities, no experience in using weapons and equipment, do not understand the opinions of grassroots officers and soldiers on the use of equipment, let alone forward-looking understanding of the development of weapons and equipment, and they are rigid in their thoughts, and are seriously out of reality when formulating weapons and equipment development plans or combat technology indicators, which often cause huge economic and political losses.
In fact, there are no military representatives from major military-industrial production countries in the world, and there is not even the former Soviet Union. The acceptance of weapons and equipment is mainly carried out through the final test of the shooting range. As long as the shooting range test is qualified, it means that the entire system meets the standards. There is no need to send military representatives to supervise the acceptance step by step, causing huge waste of personnel and funds, making the production enterprises feel that the military distrusts it, monitors it everywhere, and intervenes everywhere, seriously delaying the process of scientific research and production and undermining the enthusiasm of enterprise employees.
In particular, this system can easily become a breeding ground for corruption. Military representatives hold great power and have absolute rights to whether military products can be shipped out of the factory. The representatives also use these rights in their hands very well.
Fan Wubing remembered that a batch of products from a military factory in Panshi were unqualified at that time. The factory gave a generous gift to the military representatives stationed in the factory and was able to deliver it. However, when the army broke out, a squad of soldiers was reimbursed. The headquarters came to investigate. Because the military representatives had a very tough backstage, they had to leave it alone in the end.
There are many similar things. As a person who grew up in the large military factory in Pingyuan Factory, Fan Wubing knew the tricks here very well. Therefore, when he heard that he wanted to send military representatives to his military enterprise, he immediately said unhappy, "It is okay to come occasionally. If I send a group of people who don't understand anything to come and call me a military supervisor, then it's Korean. Whether the country is strong or not is a big deal. With my current financial position, where are I not a popular person?"
"Then why are you talking about private military enterprises doing? Isn't this a sabotage for me?" Fan Heng was also very unhappy.
"I'm just sharing your worries. If it weren't for this, would I be thankless for my efforts?" Fan Wubing also felt that he was not worth it. "Anyway, that's it. Anyway, any behavior that interferes with production and management cannot appear in my company, otherwise there will be no talks. Whoever has the ability will go, I won't serve you."
"Forget it, I'll bring it back, they do whatever they like." Fan Heng was too lazy to think about these details. He had to be busy with many things when he came in, so he really didn't want to care too much.
In fact, the senior management is willing to agree to build a private military factory, which is also driven by a certain international situation.
The world economic situation this year is relatively stable and there are no particularly big twists and turns. The Japanese economy and Asian economy have begun to recover, and the yen and the currencies and stock markets of Asian countries have shown an upward trend. The biggest change in the world economy this year is the large merger between multinational companies, especially the large merger between large automobile companies in the United States, Japan and Europe is very eye-catching.
The main reason for the merger trend among large enterprises is the rapid increase in scientific and technological development costs. As the degree of high-tech products has been increasing, the scientific research costs required to develop high-tech products have increased dramatically.
Because small and medium-sized enterprises are unable to afford the huge scientific research funds for developing high-tech products, they are at a disadvantage in the fierce competition and even go bankrupt.
For large companies, huge scientific research funds are also a very heavy burden. Therefore, several large companies join forces to jointly develop high-tech products, which can greatly reduce the financial burden of each company, which will enable large companies to achieve stronger competitiveness through mergers.
The high-tech level of domestic enterprises is not high, and the large merger of multinational corporations has put Chinese enterprises in a more disadvantageous position in the competition. For this reason, China has also seen merger plans between large enterprises, trying to increase its competitiveness for foreign products through large mergers of enterprises.
Now some people plan to merge the eight current automobile manufacturers in China into one large company to compete with foreign automobiles, as well as major mergers of TV factories and major mergers of camera factories. In short, in order to survive, Chinese companies have to take the path of enhancing competitiveness through corporate mergers.
"I can only say that I'm a fool!" After hearing these words, Fan Wubing couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Does the imperial experts of the State Council have lost their skills? What role can they play if they are big but not strong? If there is no substantial reform, the merger of enterprises is nothing more than driving a group of sheep into the same sheep pen. Can they deal with other people's tigers, leopards, jackals? It's so naive!"
After hearing his son's words, Fan Heng said helplessly, "After controlling state-owned enterprises, most of the brain cells have died. A group of experts and professors under his command, he said he was talking about everything. When it rained, he said the plane was not unified at any time. He had to take the big idea by himself. When can he save some worry? Even when he was in Jiangnan Province, he was worried about everything and didn't feel so tired. What's wrong now?"
"It's very simple-" Fan Wubing replied helplessly, "If you become a state-owned enterprise, it means that the benefits are in the present and the future. How can such a good thing be accomplished easily?"
