When will I have a long tassel?

"No way?" Tang Zifeng was also stunned, "Uncle Xiao, you are a military industry company, how can you still have questions about where to go?"

Xiao Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Who said that military industrial enterprises will not have the problem of where to go? I came to the capital with our director this time, just to listen to the leadership of the Science and Technology Commission conveying the spirit of the policy on the separation of government and enterprise in the military industry system. This matter is not a secret now, but please don’t spread it outside yet..."

He said the last sentence to a table full of people, but it was mainly to give Tang Lin and his wife advice. As Xiao Ming's daughter, Xiao Wenjun must know how to measure things. As for Tang Zifeng, as the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, he knows what to say and what not to say no less than Xiao Ming.

Our country's military industry management system has undergone many changes. At present, the five major companies are managed by the Science and Technology Commission, and the five major companies manage their affiliated research institutes and factories. Although previous ministries such as the Ministry of Nuclear Industry and the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics have been restructured into companies, their management systems still follow the tradition of administrative management and have not truly separated government and enterprises. Perhaps it is precisely because of such a system that does not distinguish between government and enterprises that military industry enterprises generally lack vitality, and the military industry has become the system with the most serious losses in the country.

In this round of institutional reform, the state has clearly proposed to reorganize the original Science and Technology Commission. The reorganized Science and Technology Commission is only responsible for industry policy management and no longer specifically manages enterprises. The five major companies will also undergo transformation, and each company will be split into two, thus becoming the top ten group companies.

The purpose of splitting a company into two is to introduce a competition mechanism and turn companies that used to stir the spoon in the same pot into competitors, thereby stimulating their own vitality. Companies that are still unwilling to make progress after reorganization will be eliminated in such competition.

This reform plan has not been officially announced yet, but just like the organizational reform plan of the Machinery Department, it has been widely circulated within the system and is not considered a secret. When Xiao Ming told Tang Lin and others on this occasion, it couldn't be said to be a leak. Of course, if Tang and Lin were tongue-tied and posted on Weibo saying that the chief engineer of a certain research institute had revealed the news to them, Xiao Ming would definitely be criticized.

"You 17 institutes are not going to be decentralized to local governments, right?" Tang Zifeng recalled what he knew in his previous life and said hesitantly: "As for restructuring..., there is some possibility that military industrial enterprises can also be listed."

He said this because he remembered that there were so-called military industrial stocks in later generations. As for when it started, he didn't know.

When Tang Lin heard what he said, he couldn't help scolding him: "Zifeng, what are you talking about? How can a military industrial enterprise be restructured? Can a private person manage this factory that makes aircraft and cannons?"

Although Tang Lin was born as a farmer, he was still a somewhat educated farmer. Especially since he came to the capital in the past two years and became the chairman of Feihai Company, he had seen some of the world. He doesn’t understand what a modern enterprise system is, nor what separation of government and enterprise means, but he knows what a military industrial enterprise is. In his opinion, military industrial enterprises only manufacture aircraft and cannons. These are important weapons of the country. How can they be listed on the market?

He was afraid that his son would talk nonsense and be laughed at by Xiao Ming, so he rushed to refute Tang Zifeng's words.

Xiao Ming waved his hand and said, "Old Tang, Zifeng is right. Some people are indeed suggesting that some military industry enterprises should be transformed into joint-stock companies, and some even suggest that foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises be allowed to merge some of the unprofitable military industries. Enterprise. It is for this reason that I want to ask Zifeng for advice."

"What does he know? He's just a stupid kid!" Tang Lin pretended to belittle Tang Zifeng with disdain, but he felt a bit proud in his heart. He could feel that the in-laws' request for advice was not polite. Tang Lin was very proud that his son could actually give guidance to a leader of Xiao Ming's level.

Tang Zifeng didn't know that Tang Lin was adding so much drama to him. He relied on his own ideas and said to Xiao Ming: "Uncle Xiao, in my opinion, the country will definitely not let go of military industrial enterprises. People like us will If you want to cultivate local enterprises, the state will let them go. But the military industry is different. This system cannot be regulated by the complete market, otherwise national security will not be guaranteed.

"Although our country has been enjoying peace for a long time, everyone at the top and bottom has the idea of ​​​​letting go to Nanshan. Once there are some changes in the international community, the country will definitely recognize the importance of the military industry again. At that time, it will be your military industry enterprises' opportunity to be popular and popular. .”

"That's what I said, but looking at the current situation, we still don't know when the country will pay attention to us again." Xiao Ming said a little discouraged.

"I think it will be soon..." Tang Zifeng said with a slight smile.

It is already 1998, and a year later, the museum bombing incident, known as one of the "three major hatreds" in later generations, will occur, and this incident will also become a turning point for the country to re-emphasize the military industry. Of course, this does not mean that without the embassy bombing incident, the country would never pay attention to the military industry. In fact, with the completion of the adjustment of the national economy, the country's economic strength continued to rise. By the late 1990s, the country had the ability to vigorously develop military industry, and the bombing of the museum was just an opportunity.

Xiao Ming didn't know that Tang Zifeng had two lives of memory. He just thought that Tang Zifeng made such an inference from the macro situation and other aspects. Xiao Ming didn't say anything about Tang Zifeng's ability to analyze the economic situation, but he was quite convinced in his heart. His old classmate Qin Zhongnian introduced Tang Zifeng's business vision to him more than once. Xiao Ming himself is a technical person and does not know much about business, so he has always admired those who are good at business. That's why he just said he wanted to ask Tang Zifeng for advice.

"According to your statement, the country should maintain its original management system. Why should it make such drastic adjustments to the military industry system?" Xiao Ming asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "The country will definitely attach great importance to the military industry, but what the internal operations of various military industry companies are like, Uncle Xiao should know better than me, right? Let me put it bluntly, if the management system of military industry companies is not changed, No matter how much money I give you, it will be wasted by you. This is all the hard-earned money of us taxpayers."

"Well……"

Xiao Ming was embarrassed again. How about not hurting others in this way?

The military industry system in the early years was a completely closed and completely independent system. The production and sales of military industrial enterprises are managed by state directives, and harvests are guaranteed during droughts and floods. At that time, the internal management of military industrial enterprises was strict, and the employees' thoughts were relatively simple. "Serving the country with military industry" was not only a slogan written on the walls of workshops and laboratories, but also the inner ideal of most cadres and workers. In Xiao Ming's memory, it was a very glorious period for the military industry system.

After the reform and opening up, the state proposed to shift the focus of work to economic work, and military industry orders were increasingly reduced. Many military industry enterprises had to open up the civilian product market to make up for the lack of funds. There are some successful cases of military-industrial enterprises developing civilian products, but most of the results are very poor, resulting in serious losses for the enterprises and declining employee benefits. In addition, various ideological trends in society began to penetrate, and many military industrial enterprises, like local enterprises, suffered from various corporate diseases, and some problems were even worse than those of local enterprises.

Tang Zifeng said that military industry companies wasted taxpayers' hard-earned money. Although this was a slap in the face, Xiao Ming knew that some military industry companies did have such a situation, which made veteran military industry leaders like him feel very sad. shame.

It is precisely because the country saw this situation that it proposed that the military industry system should also separate government and enterprises, push military industry enterprises to the market, and use the power of market competition to help military industry enterprises complete changes in their management systems.

"Changing the mechanism, especially changing some military industrial enterprises into joint-stock companies, has several benefits. First, it can raise some funds to make up for the lack of funds in military industrial enterprises, and help military industrial enterprises upgrade technology and enhance their strength. Second, through listing , introduce an external supervision mechanism to promote the reform of the internal management mechanism of military industrial enterprises and improve efficiency. Third, listing is also a method of increasing transparency, which can make the operations of military industrial enterprises more in line with market principles and help military industrial enterprises enter the international market. From these perspectives, it is a general trend for military industrial enterprises to go public, and it is also a great thing that benefits the country, the people and the factory."

Tang Zifeng started to talk. With his knowledge, it was too easy to sum up one thing with "one, two, three".

"But, in this case, how can we ensure the country's national defense needs?" Xiao Ming asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "This involves another aspect. Companies like 17 can choose to be listed or not to be listed, but no matter what the situation is, state-owned shares will definitely have an absolute advantage, and the country will not Tolerate market forces to affect your business operations. Enterprises like ours, Linyiji, can undergo comprehensive restructuring, or even become fully privately owned. However, the state will definitely not let go of military-industrial enterprises."

Xiao Ming nodded: "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. To be honest, I'm really worried that the country really doesn't care about us and will push us all to the market and let us fend for ourselves. Personal treatment and so on, I It doesn't matter. I think that for companies like our 17th Institute, the technology we have was developed by the country over decades and hundreds of millions of dollars. It would be too much if we just throw it all away. Pity."

"Uncle Xiao, don't worry, the country is not that confused." Tang Zifeng said easily.

"I think so too." Xiao Ming said in agreement, and then changed the subject and said: "However, Zifeng, the current situation of our 17th factory is also very difficult, a bit similar to the situation of the 432nd factory in the past. Especially After the recent news about the separation of government and enterprises in the military industry system, the mood of employees has fluctuated greatly. Many of my young technicians are thinking about changing jobs.

"I'm worried that before the opportunity you mentioned comes, all the backbones of our research institute will be lost. I know you are a capable person. Can you think of a way to help us retain people."
