Chapter 1007: Go to the Mayor or the Market?

The caller was Wu Fukuan, the governor of Donghai Province. He talked to Fan Danbing... , the bad news was that the acquisition of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group was temporarily stopped.

"Why?" Fan Wubing was a little surprised.

The most important resource of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group is its talents. Apart from that, there is no hot spot for profit. If it is acquired by Fan Investment Group at this time, there is still a glimmer of hope. Do they want to wait until it is completely destroyed. After all the talents have run away, they will look for strategic investors?

Fan Wubing didn't think anyone would be interested in a local pharmaceutical company that has neither talents nor strength. Even now, he was just going for the doctors and masters of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group. If he didn't have this advantage, how could he be interested in Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group?

"The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Health, and several powerful departments are opposed." Wu Fukuan was obviously very unhappy about this.

Fan Wubing scratched his head, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the purpose of this matter?

All in all, this is unpleasant news, but it is not enough to stop Fan Wubing's journey in Europe. Therefore, after hanging up the phone, Fan Wubing continued to discuss the issue that was just being discussed with Shen Ying.

"Where was I just now?" Fan Wubing patted his forehead and asked Shen Ying.

"You just mentioned the question of looking for the mayor or the market," Shen Ying reminded.

"Well, that's right." Fan Wubing nodded, "In fact, this sentence is to fool the people."

"Why?" Shen Ying asked. "Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying, "For example, when you started the winery, you had inter-provincial general agents, provincial agents, municipal agents, and finally county agents and terminal distributors. If these people have troubles and want you to come forward, who will you give priority to?"

"Does this still need to be considered? Of course, it is the inter-provincial general agents. They have sufficient resource advantages and a complete marketing network. Losing any of them is a loss. As for the city-level agents or county-level agents, let alone I don’t know them, even the company executives may not be able to recognize them. Moreover, their existence is irrelevant to the overall situation. Why do we need to spend special time and effort to pay attention to them? "Shen Ying answered immediately.

"You are right. This is the so-called grasping the big release, which is the essence of the currency market economy." Fan Wubing nodded and replied. "As a local government. The mayor's energy is limited, so he needs to use his limited energy to ensure the stable growth of the main forces of the local economy. The local large enterprises are naturally the priority. As for those terminal dealers, that is, small businesses or civilians, they are basically not in their eyes. If nothing else, it is that the energy invested is not proportional to the return. It is precisely because of this that when small people do things, they will be told to find the market, and when big people do things, they are qualified and capable to find the mayor. This statement itself is just a propaganda slogan to find excuses to reduce trouble. "

"It sounds like there is some truth? "Shen Ying hesitated for a moment, and for a moment she couldn't find the real purpose of Fan Wubing's words.

Fan Wubing took a sip of coffee. He had done some research on this issue and had a more thorough understanding of it.

Some people once advocated that it was better to find the market than the mayor, and this sentence once became a propaganda slogan for advocating market economy in China.

For example, when a company has problems, this sentence can reduce the government's responsibility. When college graduates cannot find jobs, this sentence can get rid of the responsibility of the school and the government.

When farmers can't sell their grain and vegetables, this sentence can also get rid of the responsibilities that governments at all levels should bear.

In short, this is a panacea that works for all.

However, there is a problem here. Where is the role of the government reflected?

As a government supported by taxpayers' money, what role should it play in society? This is what needs to be clarified first. If all problems have to go to the market, why do I pay taxes? Anyway, I still have to rely on myself when something goes wrong, so why bother to do so much and support a group of civil servants who do nothing?

In fact, the market is far less reliable than the mayor.

When a company is in despair, the market will usually add insult to injury, and the one who helps out in times of trouble is often the

leader.

The market emphasizes the survival of the fittest and does not sympathize with the weak, while the mayor is concerned about catching the big guys and not falling. Of course, if you want to tie the mayor to this tree, you must first make the scale of the company a "target" and then go public for financing, and then borrow huge sums of money from multiple banks and use it locally.

The ideal situation is that there is a mutual guarantee relationship with multiple non-related companies in the same city to form a guarantee circle. The more mutual guarantee companies, the better. The larger the total guarantee amount, the better. If you can reach this level, you don't need to go to the mayor when there is a problem. The mayor will naturally come to you in a hurry.

There are many such examples, and Fan Wubing is very familiar with this routine.

Just to give an example, Shandong Juli, a listed company in Weifang, has received special attention from the mayor. It has lost more than 300 million in the past two years. The debt ratio exceeds 70%, and the code has become public. Juli is dying and may be delisted at any time.

However, Juli Company has signed mutual guarantee agreements of 100 million yuan and 80 million yuan respectively with two other listed companies of Weifang, Jade Bird Huaguang and Shandong Hailong. Some secured loans are currently overdue. If Juli dies, Huaguang and Hailong will be implicated, and Huaguang, which has already lost more than 100 million yuan, may even be dragged down.

There are only five listed companies in the city of Weifang. The consequences of losing two out of five would be unbearable even if the mayor changes.

Therefore, the mayor personally served as the leader of the reorganization team. There are also two deputy currency leaders who serve as deputy team leaders and ensure that the reorganization is completed within a certain time limit. With the coordination of the local government, the bank has agreed to extend the loan for one

.

Similar stories have happened in Chongqing, Xinjiang, Shanghai and other places. The Chongqing Listed Company Reorganization Leading Group is headed by the Executive Vice Mayor. After the government's intervention, it is said that some creditor banks have suspended prosecution of several listed companies in the Huoling District guarantee circle, and the total amount of external guarantees provided by these companies is about 2 billion yuan.

"Local governments have limited financial resources. If they encounter difficulties, they will only try to maintain local ties. When enterprises reach a certain scale, they will think of going global and setting up factories in other places.

Experience has proven that many companies are fragile during this superficial period of prosperity. Just like Li Zicheng, the king of intruders, was called a bandit, it is easy to lose his roots after leaving his homeland. For some companies that originally relied on official resources, Fan Xinggong Xinying explained, "Let's think about it. If you are a market person, Chairman, companies lend huge sums of money from local banks and focus on investing in other places. If the business is doing well, there is nothing to worry about. If it loses money and affects local factories and banks, what would you think? Will you support local banks to stop immediately? Loans, debt collection, or even applying to the court for asset preservation? If a large amount of real money needs to be spent to save this company, will you foot the bill or will the foreign government pay? "

Seeing Shen Ying nodding in agreement, Fan Wubing continued, "For example, in the Kelon incident, the local government was reluctant to express its position. It is estimated that Gu Chujun purchased Huayi, Meiling, Yaxing, Weili and other companies in other places, and The large-scale construction of home appliance factories in Hangzhou, Shangqiu, Zhuhai, Yangzhou, Nanchang and other places has made Shunde people heartbroken. In order to collect the money flowing out of local banks, Boss Gu has no choice but to step aside. The protagonist of Xinjiang's listed company guarantee circle. It has 1.8 billion in external guarantees and more than 1.1 billion in insolvent debt. The reason why the Philippines survived the disaster is because of its local roots.

But Delong, which also belongs to Xinjiang, is different. They have gone out of Xinjiang and have industries all over the country. Which mayor can have such lax control? "

The Chinese have experienced an agricultural society for more than two thousand years and engaged in a planned economy for several decades. Under the influence of the long-term agricultural economy and planned economy, the Chinese have cultivated ethical values ​​that are compatible with them. Since the reform and opening up, , with the development of market economy, the traditional ethical values ​​of the Chinese people have been greatly impacted.

Under the normal economic and social situation, the civic consciousness of social members is gradually strengthened, and individuals consciously choose their own behaviors. They no longer place their hopes in life on virtuous kings and upright officials. They are increasingly able to use a fair attitude to deal with the interests of individuals, others and social organizations. They have a clear sense of contract and hope to deal with people through legal means. , interests of people and social organizations

Tie.

The self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy in an agricultural society has a low ability to withstand natural disasters. Farmers often find it difficult to control their own destiny in life, so they have a grassroots consciousness and place their destiny on wise kings and upright officials, lacking the consciousness of independence. , therefore, there is a lack of autonomy in the value system of small farmers.

Since ordinary members of society have few economic contacts, conflicts of interest are relatively rare. In addition, due to the mutual acquaintance relationship, it is impossible to develop a rational, calculated, fair and reasonable way of dividing interests. Therefore, more emphasis is placed on the overall interests of the family and the family, and tolerance and reconciliation in general conflicts of interest are emphasized. Basic ethical values ​​for people to deal with interest relationships

Spend.

In such a living environment, there is no soil for the growth of the concept of legitimate personal interests and legitimate rights. As an individual's legitimate interests and legitimate rights, the right to possess personal property cannot be recognized by social ethics and law. This is completely different from the social and natural law foundation in Western society where private property is sacred and inviolable.

The natural economic society has shaped ordinary people, but the market economy requires citizens to be the main body, which creates a contradiction.

Citizens are autonomous people. In a market economy society, every member of society must face social competition and competition requirements independently. Members of society must face major choices in their lives at all times.

However, thousands of years of agricultural civilization have shaped the grassroots consciousness of the Chinese people. The construction of a socialist society should have enhanced the citizen consciousness of social members. However, the profit-based economy and the accompanying government and collective influence in social life have been huge. On the contrary, it has further stimulated the grassroots consciousness of members of society. The advocacy of false collectivist concepts has also promoted the so-called paving stone spirit and nail spirit.

The reform of the market economic system made many members of society suddenly feel that they had no one to own. Many laid-off workers felt that they had been abandoned by society and had no support for survival and no backbone. Therefore, at that time, Wenzhou people, who had a relatively developed commodity economy, called out "National When laid-off people look for the mayor, when Wenzhou people look for work, do they look for the mayor or the market? This is the fundamental difference between ordinary people and citizens.

.

"The market economy is based on the recognition of the rationality of individual self-interest. It is not difficult for people to accept the rationality of individual self-interest, even in traditional Chinese society. Social ethics does not recognize the rationality of individual self-interest. In fact, in people's hearts It cannot be without the recognition of individual self-interest." Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying, "The reform of the market economic system recognizes the rationality of individual self-interest. The desire to pursue individual self-interest is suppressed deep in the heart of the Chinese people. , like the devil in the bottle, is released all of a sudden and begins to cause trouble and mischief. In social life, the pursuit of personal self-interest begins to overflow like a flood that breaks a dike, and its means are often beyond people's imagination. It is the market economy that releases the demon of selfishness. Some people attack the reform of the market economic system because of this, while others place their hope in promoting traditional morality and killing the demon who pursues personal interests at all costs. However, in fact, the market economy is harmful to individuals. The recognition of the rationality of human interests is not necessarily related to the pursuit of personal interests by any means. The more important reason is that the traditional Chinese ethical culture lacks the concept of legitimate personal interests and lacks a rational and fair division between people. Ethical values ​​of the interest relationship between people and social organizations

Shen Ying nodded after listening. She had never thought that Fan Wubing had such a deep understanding of this issue. She probably didn't learn it in school, but had experienced it for many years.

In fact, with the deepening of the reform of the market economic system, Chinese people not only recognize the rationality of individual self-interest in their ethical concepts, but also treat the interest relationships between people and between people and social organizations more and more rationally. The change in moral concepts has been reflected in the guidance of legislation. People no longer attribute the rampant pursuit of personal self-interest to the market economy and to individuals. recognition of human interests. Gradually realize that the most powerful restraint against the unscrupulous pursuit of personal interests is to recognize the moral rationality of legitimate personal interests. Only by recognizing the rational and fair division of interests between people, people and social organizations, will individuals gradually eliminate personal interests. Profits are pursued by any means necessary.

"All in all, it is the disconnect between the market economic system and the education of the domestic people that has caused many problems." Fan Wubing finally said to Shen Ying, "The policy of obscuring the people is sometimes effective, but it can also cause a lot of troubles, etc. You will only see it when you need a headache." Today's first update is delivered to everyone one by one.
