Chapter 1356: Unreasonable but difficult to cancel
The coal leaving Hedong Province, whether it is transported south to Zhongyuan Province or east to S Province, must pass through at least a dozen coal inspection stations along the way. Each station must be reviewed and stamped. If any station is missed, it must go back to make up.
This is mainly because the coal inspection station is originally one of the three major tools for local governments in coal-producing provinces to control coal resources and increase tax revenue, and is the core hub of the entire coal inspection system.
As a coal inspection system for the government to control the production, transportation and sales of coal, the coal inspection station should have played a stabilizing and promoting role in the market-oriented reform of coal. However, in the comprehensive wave of "state-owned enterprises advancing and private enterprises retreating" in the coal industry, almost all the production, transportation and sales links of the coal industry have been nationalized, and coal inspection stations, coal tickets and coal cards have also become a weapon for state-owned enterprises to maintain their "unified purchase and sales" status. Therefore, in essence, the coal inspection system has now become an invisible booster of the cost of the intermediate links.
The coal inspection station first started in Hedong Province. It was established by the Hedong Coal Transportation and Marketing Corporation, now the Hedong Coal Transportation and Marketing Group Co., Ltd., in the 1980s. At present, there are more than 200 coal inspection stations in the entire Hedong Province, of which there are about 48 provincial stations.
The original intention of setting up the coal inspection station at that time was to check the transportation and sales tickets and unified sales tickets of coal, so as to check whether the coal transportation out of the province has paid the local taxes and fees. When leaving the coal mine, the coal truck fills in the information of the coal ticket and coal card, so as to use the coal ticket and coal card to record the mining, transportation and other conditions as the basis and voucher for paying taxes and fees. The coal truck holding the coal ticket is registered and filed at each coal inspection station, and the information is checked until it leaves the provincial station.
The information that needs to be checked on the coal ticket includes the information of the coal mine where the coal is loaded, the quantity of coal purchased, the information of the coal purchaser including the passing area, etc. All the information of the coal inspection station is summarized by the local area and reported to the province, and then reported to the central competent department by the province.
However, in the actual operation, due to the huge interests, the repeated setting, random charging and poor service attitude have changed the nature of the coal inspection station, which plays such an important role. Now, the coal inspection station has also provided an opportunity for some gray charging phenomena. Some coal inspection stations dare not charge during the day, but charge about 20 yuan per car in the middle of the night before they can be released, and even beat some out-of-town drivers who are unwilling to pay.
If the coal inspection station is the hub of the coal inspection system, the coal ticket can be called the soul of the coal inspection system. The government controls all aspects of coal production, processing, sales, and transportation through coal tickets. Coal production enterprises must arrange production plans with tickets. Without coal tickets, trucks will be unable to move. For coal produced by small coal mines that do not have coal cards and coal tickets and are not allowed to produce at all, the coal inspection station charges 60-100 yuan per ton of coal. Of course, this money does not need to be handed over to the treasury.
At present, coal tickets in Hedong Province are divided into three types according to the mode of transportation: "Hedong Coal Sales Ticket (Railway)", "Hedong Coal Sales Ticket (Highway Out of the Province)" and "Hedong Coal Sales Ticket (Highway Domestic Sales)". According to the method of use, there are 11 types in total, including the internal system station coal transfer order, the external system station coal transfer order, etc. Each coal truck generally holds one of the above 11 types.
After reading it, Zhao Jianhui directly commented on it: "It is so complicated, it is completely a legacy of the planned economy era, and the main purpose is to collect money."
The coal card has a similar function to the coal ticket, which is equivalent to the birth certificate or ID card of coal, which stores all the information from the coal mine to the end user. At present, electronic office has been realized in the management of coal cards. As long as the card is inserted, you can know which coal mine the coal is from, which coal washing plant it is washed in, and where it is sold.
At present, coal cards are also formulated and sold by each province for the passage of coal trucks in the province, and the prices are not uniform. The price of a coal card in Hedong is 100 yuan per card, and in Mobei Province it is 300-400 yuan per card. Therefore, a coal inspection chain that integrates coal resources by coal tickets and coal cards, and then is implemented and verified by coal inspection stations, runs through the entire intermediate link of coal transportation (especially road transportation). Therefore, for the Hedong Coal Sales Group, which issues coal tickets on one hand and sets up coal inspection stations on the other hand, the entire road transportation and sales link is under control.
In June this year, the Hedong Coal Sales Group held a meeting on the theme of "unified prices, unified sales, joint competition, prevention of decentralized sales by entities, and maintenance of a good market order" on how to correctly use coal tickets and coal cards. At the 94th executive meeting in 2005, the Hedong Provincial Government gave the restructured Hedong Coal Sales Group the functions of "unified prices, unified sales, and joint competition". The latter has since positioned itself as the "general agent" and "general distributor" of Hedong local coal. Since then, Hedong Coal Sales Group has held meetings every year to review reports on the continuation of its charging policy, and then submitted applications to the Provincial Price Bureau.
This also means that coal buyers and sellers cannot sign contracts on their own, but must sign through Hedong Coal Sales Group as a mandatory intermediary, and the latter will raise the price. For example, if the Coal Sales Group signs a price of 100 yuan per ton with the coal mine, it will be raised to 150 yuan per ton when it is transferred to the power plant, cement plant, etc. that purchases coal.
According to data, Hedong Coal Sales Group achieved sales revenue of 115.8 billion yuan in 2010 and paid 10 billion yuan in profits and taxes to Hedong Province.
Seeing this, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he broke up such a big piece of cake, he didn't know how many people he would offend. Besides, without this money, the government's finances will soon be even more stretched. The impact on Hedong Province is obvious. He cannot move the interests of this area until new revenue points are created.
Although it is unreasonable, it is in line with the feeling of existence.
This system has been in place for many years, and a large number of people now rely on this system to support their families. If it is canceled rashly, many people will lose their jobs. This is not the purpose of this drawback.
After slowly closing the materials, Zhao Jianhui stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the hazy weather outside, his mood became heavier and heavier. Nowadays, all kinds of unreasonable fines and gray fees in the coal field are flooding the coal trade, which has brought a huge burden to the formal large mines, but has left those small mines with no advantages and disadvantages. As long as they pay a little money, they can Coal is mined secretly and sold secretly, state-owned enterprises suffer losses, and small private mines make money, creating a group of nouveau riche who have no idea what their last name is and who have money to burn.
Since it cannot be canceled at the moment, the only way is to rectify the industry, picket those coal inspection stations, close down those small mines with no "three noes", and punish them severely if caught. Although it will not make them bankrupt, at least they should be allowed to get involved. The country needs to spit out its benefits.
The incident at the Xiaping County Coal Inspection Station gave me an opportunity to take action. Now, he can only wait for the reports from Yang Dandan and Han Daming.
Sometimes, Zhao Jianhui feels funny that since he became the provincial governor and now the secretary, doing things is not as easy as it was when he was the district chief. At that time, I could do whatever I wanted. The territory I was in charge of was not big anyway, so I could achieve immediate results by just tinkering with it. But now it’s no longer possible. The entire Hedong Province has a population of more than 40 million. So many people eat, drink, eat, drink, and sleep alone. If someone gets hot-headed and does something, I don’t know how many people will change accordingly. .
Maybe this change is for the better, but I dare not say that it is all good. If there is one ten thousandth chance that it is not good, it will not mean that one person and two people will be unlucky. What is a critical moment? What does it mean to carry a thousand-jin burden on one body? Sitting in Zhao Jianhui's current position, he had a profound understanding.
In the reception room, Zhao Jianhui slowly smoked a cigarette. Listening to Vice Governor Zhang Bingyi’s report on the province’s agricultural greening and modernization reform process. Zhang Bingyi is the deputy governor in charge of agriculture, forestry and water resources. His theoretical level is very high, and what he reports is obviously well-founded and not rhetorical. It is obvious that his thinking on this issue is not either. For a day or two, what he explained was all derived from the practice of agricultural reform, and many things gave Zhao Jianhui refreshing inspiration.
Some ideas about the construction of green food bases and the construction of new rural areas in modern forms are similar to what Zhao Jianhui asked Gao Zhenzhen to do when he was in Xichuan. This attracted Zhao Jianhui's attention.
In the evening, Zhao Jianhui went to Yurun Xinghui, which Ye Qiuyu had not yet officially opened. Now, sitting next to Zhao Jianhui is Zhao Xiaoting, who is smiling like a flower. She was wearing a fashionable black wool skirt. Because the air conditioner in the room was on full blast, she had taken off her pantyhose. A pair of slender white legs were exposed, and her extremely delicate feet were wearing pink slippers. What flashed before his eyes was not only a kind of magic that dazzled people's eyes, but also a different kind of charm.
"Hey, sit over here, it makes my eyes hurt. How are you talking about your project?" Zhao Jianhui raised his eyebrows and said. Listening to Zhao Jianhui's words, Zhao Xiaoting smiled and gave him a healthful eyeball: "What are you doing? They didn't let you see it, so you just don't want to see it? Brother, to be honest, the conditions you gave are still enough. He gave me two coal mines with just one mouthful, and I couldn’t even think about investing..."
Zhao Jianhui waved his hand, looked at her and said, "Do you think that's cheap? That's a trap for catching wolves. Without those two coal mines to attract investment, how can we attract investment? Besides, those two coal mines are for you too. The condition is that you are allowed to digest it locally, and the coal exported from the province cannot exceed 50% of the total output..."
Very poor flowers, only 48...
