Chapter 1153 The Overall Situation Is Important

"Wu Bing had expected that Fan Lao would not be the kind of petty person. The crowd raised their voices, which was to show the majesty of the Standing Committee. I can do things, but you can't play me like a monkey. This depends entirely on the mood of my Fan family, not to succumb to the power of certain people. "Since things still need to be done, and you still have to continue to be a member of the Standing Committee, then this matter always needs to be done by yourself, and there is no need to leave everyone embarrassed," Fan Wu Bing said to his father Fan Xiang.

Fan Xiang nodded and said, "That's what I mean, just express your opinions appropriately. It's really not good to keep deadlocked. The overall situation is more important.

Fan Wu Bing smiled slightly. Although the four words "the overall situation is more important" sounded a little funny, it is undeniable that in many cases, these four words are indeed heavy and force many people to make concessions, although the original intention of this concession is not necessarily for the so-called overall situation.

"Interests determine everything, so this institutional reform must be effective." Fan Wubing suggested to his father Fan Heng, "I also have a suggestion, for reference only."

Fan Wubing handed a long-prepared document to Fan Heng and asked him to look it over carefully.

After Fan Heng glanced at it, he asked in surprise, "Establish the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Land and Resources? Implement a large department system?"

Fan Wubing nodded, indicating that it was exactly that.

In fact, experts from the Modernization Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had proposed the idea of ​​establishing a national energy department a while ago, and reported it to the relevant departments in the form of an internal report, but no one agreed at the time.

In the case at the time, these researchers actually did not think so much, and did not consider how scientific the establishment of functions was. It was just that from the perspective of scientific workers, the establishment of energy was conducive to the implementation of the national energy strategy and the unified management of energy work, and one thing was very critical, foreign countries basically had similar institutions.

Although this suggestion did not attract the attention of the top leaders, Fan Wubing noticed it, and he took it seriously.

There is no doubt that China will continue to be at the forefront of global economic growth. However, the internal and external contradictions in China's economic and social development are becoming more and more prominent.

Externally, international energy giants have been threatening China with various prices from time to time, asking for exorbitant prices, and the situation has intensified. Environmental protection accusations have also been renewed, and China's national development strategy faces severe challenges; internally, the coexistence of high administrative costs and low administrative efficiency has made the existing government agency system one of the focus issues criticized by all sectors of society, and has generated an internal impulse for reform.

In a word, it is necessary to change.

In the proposal that Fan Wubing gave to Fan Heng,

he suggested that he should focus on the reform of the energy department as the main department system in this round of institutional reform. Under his conceptual framework, the Ministry of Energy to be established will integrate the energy-related functions of the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, and lead state-owned energy giants such as CNPC, Sinopec, CNOOC, and the State Grid.

After reading Fan Wubing's plan, Fan Xiang was also greatly shocked. He thought his son was really capable. He took action against so many ministries and commissions at once, and they were all relatively important ministries and commissions. If this knife was cut, it would indeed have a miraculous effect. At least many long-standing problems would disappear.

But there are also many troubles, just because the departments involved in this work alone are enough to give people a headache.

In fact, during the era of the Jizai economy, China also established the Ministry of Energy, but as its functions were gradually delegated to state-owned enterprises, in 1993, the original Ministry of Energy was declared dissolved.

However, for China, the world's second largest energy consumer, the importance of energy is self-evident.

The energy management system involves important areas such as oil, coal, electricity, and nuclear energy. The current management system is that the entity is the Energy Bureau with only more than 30 people set up in the National Reform Commission. It is only a department-level unit, while large energy companies such as CNPC, Sinopec, CNOOC, and State Grid Corporation are all ministerial or vice-ministerial institutions, lacking an institution that can systematically coordinate energy in terms of administrative system and management authority.

As the saying goes, a big guest bullies the host. You are just a small director. You don't even have the qualifications to talk to others. What can you expect to do? The domestic officialdom is originally a place that emphasizes seniority. Things that break the rules will definitely be attacked by everyone.

It is obviously unrealistic to do things that offend people for the sake of public affairs.

At the same time, energy management is multi-headed and is under the supervision of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and the State Electricity Regulatory Commission. Take power management as an example. There are three major departments in charge, the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. There is also a national power system reform leading group to coordinate. The management of oil and coal is more decentralized.

When talking about the establishment of the national energy department, Fan Wubing's original address was changed to: Gang...kouyang.... o...Please read it! "Shuaidong" is not that simple. It is not that simply building a Ministry of Energy cannot solve the problem, but that the Energy Commission and the Ministry of Energy must be established at the same time.

"I have made in-depth analysis and calculations on this point, and I did not bring it up casually." When Fan Wubing talked about these things, even when discussing with his father, he was very serious. "Due to the scientific, complex and important nature of energy issues, it is necessary to establish a National Energy Commission, which is an advisory and quasi-decision-making body of the State Council; and the Ministry of Energy is an executive body, accepting the guidance and supervision of the Energy Commission. If this problem is not solved, this work will still not work, and if the energy strategy problem is not solved in a timely manner, within a few years, you will taste the bitter fruit of not paying enough attention to this problem. I am not talking nonsense when I say this, but there are many judgments in it."

Fan Heng scratched his head after listening to it. The advice his son gave him was really shocking. The problem of strengthening the national energy strategy is becoming increasingly prominent, and it is also necessary to establish a unified energy department. There are also small-scale discussions on this matter among the top leaders, but it has not been put on the agenda.

The most important point of controversy is mainly concentrated on the scope of the Ministry of Energy's functions. After all, such a big move is not a small matter. But it should be affirmed that, no matter what, the new Ministry of Energy will not return to the original mechanism structure, but will focus on improving the decision-making level in the energy field. Otherwise, it will not be able to play a practical role, but will only add an unnecessary bureaucracy.

"This plan is still very valuable for reference." Fan Hengsi thought that his son's suggestion was indeed very valuable. If the energy problem was solved at once, then according to this idea, the establishment of the system of the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Land Construction, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry of Finance would be a natural process and there would be a model for reference.

The most important thing in formulating a reform plan for a large department system is to consider the actual needs of market economic development and social development. When the conditions are relatively mature, it can be included in the reform agenda. Fan Wubing has always attached great importance to the energy industry, especially the large amount of energy and mineral resources reserves overseas. His views on this issue are of great significance. Even the top leaders cannot help but be cautious when they see this plan.

Another point is that although Fan Heng used a move of retreating to advance and made everyone feel that he could not reach an agreement, Fan Heng himself knew very well that if the institutional reform was not carried out, the financial burden of the central government would indeed be heavier.

Regarding this issue, although from the perspective of the proportion of financially supported personnel to the population, the number of personnel in domestic government departments and administrative institutions is not large, and it is even far from Far lower than some other countries.

However, the most important problem is that this small proportion of the population consumes huge administrative costs, which can be said to be ridiculously high when compared with other countries in the world.

Since they are public servants, they should not live better than ordinary people, but the current situation is just the opposite, which is very problematic. A developing country should not have this situation.

By merging and streamlining institutions, departments with overlapping functions can be omitted, and administrative expenses can be saved by reducing the size of institutions. It can also streamline personnel, improve government administrative efficiency, and reduce the original overlapping functions and mutual shirking of responsibilities among departments.

Therefore, after Fan Heng had vented his anger and strengthened his prestige, he still had to solve this problem. Since no one was willing to take up this burden, and no one could take it up, Then I have no choice but to do it, which is also his original intention.

In a word, the overall situation is the most important!

This overall situation is not the overall situation of a few people, but the decision made by Fan Heng and Fan Wubing, father and son, after a long-term vision and standing on the standpoint of national interests.

It can be imagined that with the great improvement of the construction degree in China and the rapid development of social economy, the demand for energy resources will also snowball. If there is no overall department that can coordinate and organize this matter, and organically combine energy demand and energy strategy, it will eventually cause a big mess.

After careful consideration and revision, Fan Heng threw out a new draft of institutional reform and handed it to everyone for circulation at the Standing Committee.

"Uh" This time everyone's expression was even more strange. No one expected that Fan Zhuo, after retreating by advancing, unexpectedly made a gorgeous turn and returned to this topic.

However, after they carefully read the draft submitted by Fan Heng, they were even more shocked. This time it seems that Fan Heng is going to play big, and it is the kind of far-reaching. "
