Chapter 832 Rothschild Topic

Although Fan Wubing disagrees with the bold words of some state-owned enterprise CEOs, there is no need to compete with them, nor is there any need to pour cold water on others' enthusiasm. Even when necessary, Fan Wubing will smile and praise them, making them feel proud.

This is actually a change in human nature. When innocent children start to learn to write essays, they have begun to be deceived or deceive themselves. The simple and stubborn Chinese education not only restricts people's thoughts, but also changes their original straightforward nature.

Of course, the evil of education cannot be simply attributed to the Ministry of Education. In fact, since thousands of years ago, when Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars or Emperor Wu of Han respected Confucianism alone, the spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic has been severely strangled. As for the Song Dynasty, there was no China after Yashan, and by the time of the Qing Dynasty, the last bit of Chinese spirit had been worn out, and only slavery was left.

Because of this, Chinese people like to support emperors, or establish all kinds of strange totem worship and deity worship, so that many places actually worship the god of Sun Wukong, which is obviously surprising and depressing.

Fan Wubing sat there, perfunctorily chatting with the entrepreneurs who came to him to get close to him, while slowly drinking wine and listening to light music.

Before National Day, on September 22, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 15th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China passed an important decision on the reform and development of state-owned enterprises.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the achievements of my country's socialist construction are inseparable from state-owned enterprises. Reform and opening up have led China to a market economy, and state-owned enterprises have gained new development opportunities. However, by the mid-1990s, the phenomenon of state-owned enterprises dragging the economy backward became more and more obvious.

Among more than 10,000 state-owned enterprises, 63% of them are loss-making. For this reason, the 15th National Congress proposed the goal of getting state-owned enterprises out of trouble in three years.

Layoffs and transformation, reorganization and mergers, in a state of confusion, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 15th Central Committee pointed out the direction for reform. On the basis of the achievements of 20 years of reform and opening up, it put forward the requirements of public ownership as the main body and the common development of various economies, put forward the development strategy of state-owned enterprises, established a modern enterprise system, and put forward the strategic idea of ​​advancing and retreating, grasping the big and letting go of the small.

Grasping the big and letting go of the small is a strategic restructuring decision made by the central government in response to the current situation of state-owned enterprises. On the one hand, we must concentrate our efforts on a number of large state-owned enterprises and enterprise groups, so that they can play a backbone role in stabilizing the economy, participating in international and domestic market competition, and implementing national industrial policies. On the other hand, we must let go of the large and wide-ranging state-owned small enterprises, so that they can find more suitable organizational forms, operating methods and development models for their own characteristics, and grow stronger in market competition.

In the process of letting go of small, some places simply understood it as a sale, and the trend of selling enterprises blew, causing a major loss of state-owned assets and producing adverse social consequences. Since last year, the central government has begun to take positive measures to

stop the wrong tendency in the process of letting go of small.

Another very important thing is that in June, the central government proposed that the conditions for accelerating the development of western regions have basically been met and the time is ripe. The Central Economic Work Conference in the middle of this month also formally proposed the strategy of opening up the west and decided to set up a leading group for opening up the west.

If these two things have a greater impact on Fan Heng's work, then Fan Wubing is more concerned about the topic of telecommunications restructuring.

The central government plans to formally establish China Telecom Group and China Mobile Communications Group next year. China Telecom Group is a large-scale state-owned communications enterprise planned to be established based on the national fixed network and related assets after the separation of mobile communications and fixed communications services of the original postal and telecommunications system. The group company mainly operates various domestic and international fixed telecommunications networks and facilities, voice, data, image and multimedia communications and information services based on fixed telecommunications networks, system integration and technical development related to communications and information services, and other telecommunications services approved by the state.

The restructuring of the telecommunications industry is obviously a very big cake. Unfortunately, the state is very strict about this cake and restricts the involvement of non-public economy. Therefore, although there are more advanced technologies waiting for the people of the country to apply, telecommunications and mobile operators still bring the most backward technologies to the country to deceive the people.

"It's a pity that I only have a little advantage in the network. It's still unlikely to enter the telecommunications market, at least under the premise that state-owned enterprises monopolize the telecommunications market." Fan Wubing thought of this problem and couldn't help but be absent-minded.

In fact, he was not very persistent about whether to get involved in the telecommunications market. He just felt very unbalanced when he thought about the fact that domestic users had to spend the most money to enjoy the worst service in the world. However, when he thought about the treatment in North Korea, he felt that the Chinese seemed to be very lucky. At least this part of the service, although the quality is relatively poor, is still being improved.

Next to him, there seemed to be a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise who had just returned from overseas. He was talking to the people around him, "The richest family in the world is not Morgan, not Rockefeller, nor the so-called world rich Bill Gates, but the Rothschild family."

Fan Wubing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, thinking that this person really didn't know if he had learned any skills. He had a lot of sensational hearsay.

In fact, there have always been many topics about the Rothschild family, but the understanding of this mysterious family in China is very little, probably because of the publicity. As for the Rothschild family itself, they also know the principle of hiding in the city, keeping a low profile and only caring about making money, and not liking to show up.

For most of the century from the early 19th century to the early 20th century, the Rothschild family easily occupied the throne of the world's largest bank. With their funds intertwined, the five Rothschild brothers have always lived in their own alliance. There have been no companies and people comparable to them throughout the 20th century. Even today's largest international banking companies cannot enjoy the hegemony of the Rothschild company at its peak. Even now, no one's assets account for a share of the world's wealth that can match the Rothschild family in the mid-19th century.

This family has countless halos of commercial wealth, such as controlling one-third of the wealth in the securities industry, one-third of the wealth in the real estate industry, and one-third of the wealth in the jewelry and art industry. They regard the stock exchange as their own small treasury and only leave one-tenth of the wealth to others, but all of these are not enough to explain why they are successful.

What kind of business is the Rothschild family engaged in? How do they use the economic leverage in their hands? To understand these issues, we must understand a little bit about the financial situation of European countries in the 19th century, because it was Rothschild who lent money to the government or speculated on existing government bonds that made the Rothschild family make huge profits, which is also the most important part of their huge wealth.

But now, no chaebol can monopolize the world's finance. Even the Rothschild family, which was extremely prosperous in the 19th century, was just a relatively wealthy collective. Wine, art and banking are the three traditional investment areas of their family. For example, Lafite red wine under the French Baron Rothschild Lafite Group is the world's top red wine brand.

Rothschild's influence in China can almost be said to be better than nothing. At present, the total number of employees of the Rothschild family in Hong Kong is about 100 people, while the number of employees of the investment bank giant Morgan Stanley in Hong Kong has reached 1,000 to 2,000.

In Fan Wubing's view, their era is long gone. In the past, because the Rothschild family did not look favorably on the United States in the mid-19th century, they lost the most important market in the 20th century and cultivated rising stars such as the Morgan family. Now, because they are not optimistic about the Chinese market, they have lost another opportunity to restore their former glory.

As we all know, things like art and real estate investment are most seriously affected by the environment. The two world wars caused the Rothschild family to suffer immeasurable losses and also dealt a heavy blow to their enterprising ambitions. As for the banking industry, it also lost its leading position due to the transfer of the world's financial center.

Instead, there are countless waves rising from the Yangtze River, and these old brands that are complacent can only take a relatively conservative attitude and become the former waves that are beaten to death on the beach.

However, Fan Wubing also admitted that the returned executive was right in at least one thing, that is, Bill Gates is definitely not the richest man in the world, but what does it matter? At least Bill Gates' contribution to the world is obvious to all. Although his life can be regarded as luxurious, he also spares no effort to give back to society. His investment in charity over the years can be said to be something that many large financial groups cannot do in their lifetime.

And like the Rothschild family, they only know how to make money and don't know how to give back to society. They are like misers. It is really not worth mentioning.

Some celebrities from the entertainment industry were also invited to the cocktail party to help out, which can be regarded as taking care of the interests of many CEOs of non-public enterprises. However, Fan Wubing took a casual look and felt that he was not interested. He didn't know what the organizers were thinking. The people who were invited were all middle-aged Xu Niang, or small stars who were kept by others. There was not a single star who was pleasing to the eye and had certain strength.

What a tragedy! Fan Wubing shook his head and felt very sorry.
