Chapter 100 The boss "changed his face": leaving a string of question marks

The big coal province is promoting "integration" furiously, and its ultimate goal is that thousands of "small coal mines" will "change owners" in a unified manner, which will cause a large number of Shanxi "coal bosses" to retreat from the front to the back. At present, under the influence of multiple factors such as the government's optimization of industrial structure and response to the financial crisis, the fate and future of coal bosses have attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.The "coal boss" who holds a lot of money and multiple industrial elements, at the critical moment of deciding his life, should he choose to be an entrepreneurial hero, or choose to be a rich man who keeps money?In this regard, some people see it deeper and further: the transformation of Shanxi Coal Boss is not only a simple economic issue, but also a political issue with far-reaching significance.

From the current point of view, the transformation of Shanxi Coal Boss has left many question marks for the world. One of the question marks is whether the "small coal mines" can be "disappeared" after the unification and "change of owners"? Everyone knows that "small coal mines" are burdened with problems such as "wasting resources, polluting the environment, disregarding human life, and corrupting cadres" due to problems such as backward production methods, low safety management levels, production plans that do not conform to industrial policies, and even illegal mining. "crime", so it has become a common object of "verbal criticism" from all walks of life in society.

According to the news from the government, after the "merger and reorganization", historic changes will take place in the structure of Shanxi's coal industry. Pollution power groups have made Shanxi's coal industry "thin and strong" and "small and refined" on the basis of a strong body. It will alleviate or reduce the occurrence of accidents. The second question mark is how to rationally divert these private capital after withdrawing? According to estimates, the amount of private funds that have been "rectified" is particularly huge, as many as hundreds of billions.In this regard, some people in the industry once believed that if this huge sum of money flows to any industry in an orderly manner, the economic consequences it will produce are "unimaginable".This leads to the next key issue.In the process of coal resource integration and enterprise transformation, how can private capital be diverted reasonably?On this issue, the key "actions" of government departments are particularly important, which will be discussed in the next question.

The third question mark is how does the government play a role in the process of delisting and diverting "private capital"? Judging from the current news from the government, the following ideas are worthy of attention: First of all, the government should play a "guiding" role, that is, "guiding the rational diversion of private capital through various business methods such as the transfer of franchise rights or cooperative operations" (full access to infrastructure and public services).Specific ideas: All government fiscal construction funds at all levels are open to private investment, and at the same time strictly implement various preferential tax and fee policies for private investment.

Second, make a big fuss about financial services.Specifically, vigorously develop small loan companies, further cultivate new organizations such as village banks, encourage financial institutions to innovate in credit methods, establish private investment guarantee companies through policy guidance and support, help private enterprises participate in the capital market, and actively develop equity trading markets. Promote equity transactions of private enterprises and broaden financing channels. The fourth question mark is how to make the "giant ship" of private enterprises have a smooth "soft landing"?

"Shanxi Coal Integration", the Shanxi local government's primary consideration is "stability" as the top priority, and must not be eager for quick success. Various factors must be weighed repeatedly, and must be considered comprehensively to achieve scientific decision-making and scientific development. "('Shanxi Coal Consolidation') If it is too hasty and too fast, some companies will die as soon as they turn around." This sentence is the view expressed by Mr. Long Yongtu, Secretary-General of Boao Forum for Asia, on the transformation issue after inspecting private enterprises in Shanxi.

At the same time, Long Yongtu further pointed out that "('Shanxi coal integration') should be transferred in a natural manner according to the laws of the market economy, but this requires us to have a rational judgment on the market. If it is too hasty and too fast, it will inevitably As a result, some companies die as soon as they turn around, and this lesson must be remembered." He believes that after years of market development, some local companies have formed an industrial chain "field" with the ecological environment developed by surrounding companies, and once they leave This environment, without that "field", cannot survive.That is to say, the laws of the market are gradually formed through the interaction and influence of various economic factors, rather than being "crashed" under the "influence" of certain forces.

The fifth question mark is whether the "ossified system" of state-owned enterprises, which was widely criticized in the past, will appear in the new enterprises after integration? The reason why a new enterprise is "new" is that its equity structure is diversified and built with assets as a link, which is completely different from the "new" system and mechanism of state-owned enterprises in the past. In the past, the image of the "old state-owned enterprise" with a "rigid system" has quietly withdrawn from the "jianghu". It is hoped that the phenomenon of casual management and safety supervision of small coal mines in the past will be improved.Therefore, this is not a simple state-owned enterprise annexing private enterprises or "big fish eating small fish", but the "evolution" of traditional coal enterprises under the leadership of the modern enterprise system.

The sixth question mark is whether this "integration" can curb the serious consequences of "collusion between the government and coal"? "There was a 'bang' sound from the ground, and a large piece of the ground fell down." This is the most quoted sentence in this book. Yes, frequent mine accidents in Shanxi coal-producing areas are not only related to local safety management and supervision, but also closely related to the "exchange of interests" between "coal bosses" and local officials. We know that in the past, the "official coal collusion" was due to the incomplete licenses of small coal mines, substandard safety production, or failure to comply with industrial policies. Some "coal bosses" sought huge profits in order to evade supervision and always wanted to seek a "protective umbrella" of power.

Now "small coal mines" no longer exist, and the industry's threshold has been raised, which means that coal mines can be opened without money, and the "interest" chain of "collusion between officials and coal mines" in the past has been broken. Of course, we have to be soberly aware that the withdrawal of the "coal bosses" from the "jianghu" does not mean that corruption will disappear, and the power rent-seeking behavior attached to the resource sector still has a certain vitality under the conditions of the market economy. From this point of view, the fight against corruption and the construction of the legal system are still long-term and arduous.
