Chapter 1378: Building an Industry Leader (Third update, please subscribe)
"Where do we stand?"
The sound came from behind the large desk. When the sound fell behind, no one in the office spoke. It was quiet, with only the sounds of breathing and smoking.
"Economy!"
The word rang out in the spacious office.
"It is based on economic development as the basic premise. Everything we do is based on promoting economic development! This is our position, and as for other... it is not!"
When this sentence came out of the mouth of Zuo Xiaohan, a specialist in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and a core figure in the formulation of economic and industrial policies, although his voice was not loud, his weight was not light.
Looking at the several executive officers in front of him, Zuo Xiaohan said in a calm tone:
"As for how to develop the economy, it is very simple to follow the basic principles of the market. As for other things, it is not important. As early as when you created the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Your Excellency said that the responsibility of this department is not to tie the hands of enterprises, but to Equip them with boosters to help them occupy overseas markets and conquer territory in overseas markets in the fierce competition overseas. Our control and restraint are not for "control", but to avoid disorder. Involutional competition.”
After a slight pause, Zuo Xiaohan continued:
"Yes, I proposed the idea of integrating the automobile manufacturing industry. So what? This is to integrate forces and achieve scale advantages. As for production capacity... I would like to ask, do we currently have excess automobile production capacity?"< br>
"No!"
Wagging his finger, Zuo Xiaohan continued to ask and answer questions.
“Has capital poured into the automobile industry like crazy, causing the industry to overheat?”
"No!"
"Since there is none, then who asked you to worry about it? Establish an access permit for the automobile manufacturing industry. Now this permit is the first, and what is the next permit? Do you need to apply for a permit first to sell steamed buns in the future?"
< br>
When he said these words, Zuo Xiaohan's heart was racing. No matter what, he never thought that the sentence "What is good for the superiors must be bad for the inferiors" would get into his head. , although, he will do what you like, but, but... he will never engage in these things.
Where is this? Doing what you like is obviously putting it on the fire and roasting it. When did the company prohibit others from doing this or that?
Obviously there are some people who are so confused that they really think they are omnipotent, they really think they are omnipotent.
That's why he was so annoyed and even got angry at the meeting.
"Building a car requires our permission. So, if he builds a factory, does he need to conduct psychological tests on nearby monkeys? Research whether factory construction or factory production will have a psychological impact on monkeys in the nearby rainforest? ”
Zuo Xiaohan's words were so angry that he couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
"Should those high-rise buildings need to study whether their glass curtain walls will affect the lives of birds during the design stage?"
After saying such sarcasm one after another, Zuo Xiaohan said again.
"Human energy is limited. We are here to help those companies solve their problems, not to create problems for them. Rather than using censorship of one kind or another to hinder development, we should provide good services and not create problems for them. These are all more important. Yes, as for the position!
I'm curious to ask, what's his position? ”
Listening to the extremely dissatisfied voice of the special agent, Zhang Songjie just sat there quietly. His proposal had been passed without any suspense.
Obviously, the commissioner has also realized the idea of "omnipotence" that is now ignored.
Everyone knew how dangerous this idea was, and because of this, his proposal was easily passed.
After the meeting was over, Zuo Xiaohan kept Zhang Songjie behind, then looked at him and said.
"This proposal of yours is very good. The smooth sailing over the past few years has made us a little bit arrogant. Well, this was my mistake. Well, you should organize it as soon as possible and send the right people to New York. Observe and study for a period of time, catfish...no matter what kind of catfish it is, we need it here.”
catfish!
All the current Ministry of International Trade and Industry needs is some similar voices and a few catfish. Only in this way can the vitality of the department be guaranteed.
Zuo Xiaohan is very clear about this, and that is why he is so angry, because the situation in the headquarters is now a bit dangerous.
"I know I will match up with the right person as quickly as possible."
Zhang Songjie nodded, then he glanced at the report in front of the specialist and said:
"Specialist, are you planning to go to the official residence?"
"I must go to the official residence."
Zuo Xiaohan said:
"Although I do not agree with the establishment of any license, the integration of the automobile manufacturing industry is urgent. This matter must be promoted no matter what. As for..."
He looked at another report, thought for a moment and said:
"They want to enter the automobile manufacturing industry at this time because they see the profits of the automobile manufacturing industry. There will definitely be more capital entering in the future, which will inevitably cause a mix of good and bad. Therefore, it is necessary to complete the entire automobile manufacturing before then. The integration of the automobile industry will prevent overheating of the industry, thereby affecting the entire automobile manufacturing industry. Well, this is also the fundamental reason why we integrate the automobile manufacturing industry..."
After that, he looked at another report and frowned.
……
In the study room of the official residence, Li Yian was looking through the company's business report as usual.
In fact, the company's operations are divided into two types, one is business operations, which are run by professional managers from hundreds of subordinate companies. Under normal circumstances, he himself does not directly intervene.
After all, the scale of NBC is huge, with more than 300 directly affiliated companies, thousands of subsidiaries, and more than 10,000 affiliated companies. Its business fields involve all aspects, basically involving people's life, old age, illness, and death. This is not an exaggeration, it is a fact. From the hospital where you are born, to the crematorium and cemetery where you die, there are corresponding operations.
After more than ten years of development, NBC is like an octopus, with its tentacles extending into all aspects of various fields.
NBC now directly employs more than 10 million people!
This does not include overseas employees. In fact, NBC now has nearly one million overseas employees.
In a way, the North Borneo Company, or NBC, is the only supercompany on earth.
For such a large super enterprise, if one person is responsible for it all, it will be exhausted. Therefore, in many cases, Li Yian only controls the general direction of the operation. As for the specific operations, they are independently operated by each company. Of course, NBC Still under supervision.
Li Yian, on the other hand, focuses more on management matters and overall planning. Just like now, the report he is looking at is the report on the integration of the automobile industry.
"At present, with the overall revival of the European automobile industry, competition in the automobile market is increasingly intensified..."
The report is very long, but the core is one sentence. In the past few decades, the NBC automobile industry has risen rapidly, and there is a vague momentum to bring American cars down from the altar.
"In terms of automobile production scale, as of three years ago, our 13 automobile manufacturers had an annual output of more than 2 million vehicles, and have since become the second largest automobile manufacturer and exporter in the world. In terms of scale, We are only inferior to the United States. At present, the company's most favorable factor is that thanks to the early technical experience and assistance of the United States, as well as our later in-depth research in automotive technology, we have generally defeated our Western European opponents in technology.
However, with the tariff protection after the establishment of the Western European Common Market and the technological progress of Western European automobile companies, our technical advantages are not so obvious. This also means that competition in various places has intensified. Therefore, we should now focus on 13 companies. Automakers are integrating to improve their technology, expand scale and avoid fighting on their own. ”
Listening to the report of Zuo Xiaohan, a specialist in the Ministry of Communications and Industry, Li Yian's brows knitted into a knot. He knew very well that in the next ten years, the automobile industry would probably be the most competitive era, with technology having the upper hand. American cars have begun to "recover lost ground" in an all-round way. On the one hand, European manufacturers have recovered and are also "recovering lost ground." Under such circumstances, the challenges faced by automakers in other regions can be imagined.
In another world, how did the Japanese automobile industry "break out" in this environment and trample European and American automobile manufacturers under its feet?
"...Currently, our two largest automobile manufacturers, Wuling and Volkswagen, control 70% of the production capacity. Eleven companies including BMW, Alfa Romeo, Porsche and Rongguang have an annual output of only 1 million vehicles, which is the lowest Porsche's annual output is less than 10,000 vehicles. Each of these companies has its own advantages, such as BMW's luxury cars, Alfa Romeo and Porsche's sports cars, but it is certain that in the fierce competition in the future, they will very Easily defeated by each one..."
This is why it is necessary to integrate automobile manufacturing companies. In fact, Zuo Xiaohan’s plan is not just to integrate automobile manufacturing companies. In order to further enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, he also plans to integrate steel, shipbuilding, chemical and other enterprises. Integrate, integrate small businesses into large enterprises, and eventually form monopolies in several industries, so that in the fierce competition, they can face competition and meet challenges with scale advantages.
In the report, Zuo Xiaohan’s thoughts were very clear – monopoly!
“… build huge industrial enterprises through monopoly, and then use the technology and cost advantages of large-scale operations to compete with European and American manufacturers in overseas competition. I personally think that in terms of the future development situation of enterprises, monopoly, especially It is a monopoly operation of heavy industrial enterprises and an inevitable industrial management method..."
