Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 87 Mingyuan, are you interested?

"Why?" Su Aijun asked urgently, feeling like a bucket of cold water was being poured down on his face. Yu Zhengmin and Yu Zhengmin also showed a look of surprise. They didn't understand why Fang Mingyuan could be so sure that the passenger transport company would suffer losses.

"Why?" Fang Mingyuan remembered that in the previous life, the Ministry of Railways had implemented a network transportation separation plan, and also established many passenger and freight companies across the country, and they had been operating for a long time. But in the end, all these passenger and freight companies were

They all disappeared silently, and everything returned to its previous mode. But he couldn't explain it to Su Aijun and the others like this.

Fang Mingyuan's thoughts were racing, and he said: "Uncle Su, I admit that the network transportation separation plan can change the distribution method of the national railways eating from the big pot. On the one hand, these passenger and freight companies that operate trains can directly obtain income; on the other hand, these

Passenger and freight companies have to pay fees to the railway bureau for the use of lines, stations and locomotives. This means that these companies must truly calculate transportation costs, reduce costs and reduce waste. They can even introduce multiple competitions on the same railway route in the future.

main body, so as to achieve efficient internal competition and provide better services to passengers. And I believe that as a company that needs to bear corresponding responsibilities for costs and income, they are developing markets, increasing income, saving expenses, and effectively using various

In terms of resources, etc., it is bound to be in sharp contrast with the railway bureau which still maintains the old system."

"Isn't this good?" Su Aijun said in confusion. Aren't these the goals that the reform wants to achieve?

"But there will also be new problems, such as how the passenger transport company and the station will share some benefits? The station should belong to the railway bureau, right? Another example is, in some places with overlapping powers, will the two sides have trouble with each other?

Another example is the issue of car distribution between passenger transport companies and freight companies, scheduling issues, and temporary application for additional trains. Will the railway bureau take this opportunity to eat up passenger transport and eat freight? Another example is the issue from Fengyuan to Northeast China.

Long-distance passenger and freight trains must pass through multiple railway bureaus along the way. In the past, everyone ate from a big pot together, so there was no need to calculate the benefits too clearly. In the end, the meat rotted in the pot, and the Ministry of Railways had the final say. Nowadays, everyone is arrogant.

In a company with profits and losses, why should I let you make money in my territory? Liquidation and transactions between railway bureaus are inevitable. Business links such as locomotive traction, power supply, and road network use must involve multiple railway transportation companies. If there is no one

Without clearly defined transaction rules, the costs and benefits between railway bureaus cannot be made transparent, and the bickering and bickering will never be clear. Since there are no clear financial settlement rules, a transparent dispatching and command system, and explicit transportation capacity allocation

Mechanism; since the costs, income, and profits cannot be clearly explained, how will the benefits be distributed? The most direct and simple question is that the station will not be willing to sell tickets for trains passing by other stations, or in other words, will the train tickets that were originally in the same station be distributed?

The trains that get off the platform are arranged to go to platform nine, which is the farthest and most inconvenient place. Or, the train that originally departed at eight o'clock in the evening has to be arranged for you to go to eleven o'clock in the evening. Have you ever thought about these possible problems?

?”

"We have considered these and are formulating corresponding rules to solve these problems. The reason why we decided to find a line for pilot is that we hope to take this opportunity to find loopholes in the rules and improve this mechanism as much as possible before promotion

." At this time, Yu Zhengmin no longer dared to have the slightest contempt for Fang Mingyuan. Through this passage, he had already heard that this young man had a very thorough understanding of the difficulties of railway reform.

"Mingyuan, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into the railway reform!" Su Aijun looked at Fang Mingyuan for a while and said, "How about it, are you interested in joining in and personally carrying out this pilot project?"

"He?" Yu Zhengmin opened his mouth in surprise. It would be too far-fetched to have a young man personally carry out the railway reform pilot. If outsiders knew about it, he and himself would not be scolded to death.

"Uncle Yu, don't underestimate this kid. Now he is a small rich man with a net worth of hundreds of millions. Do you know Carrefour Supermarket? That is his family's industry! And he is the founder!" Su Aijun said softly.

Yu Zhengmin and Yu Zhengmin were shocked by the news. They looked at each other in shock for a long time and were speechless. This news was really shocking! How could it be possible after staying in Fengyuan Railway Bureau for so long?

I wonder where Carrefour is, the largest supermarket in Fengyuan City?

It is one of the largest private enterprises in Qinxi Province and a well-known enterprise in the commercial field. In Fengyuan City alone, there are five or six stores that have been opened or will be opened soon. The annual profit can be said to be

It’s extremely impressive. Such a large company was actually founded by the young man in front of me?

They couldn't believe it, but they had to believe that it was impossible for Su Aijun to lie about this kind of thing!

"Uncle Yu, this guy likes to keep a low profile. Most people know that Carrefour is owned by the Fang family, but they don't know that he was the original founder, so I ask you to keep this secret for him." Su Aijun said solemnly.

"That's that!" Yu Zhengmin replied subconsciously.

"Uncle Yu, Uncle Su, to be honest, to say that I am not interested in railways is to tell lies with open eyes. But to say that I am interested in investing in railways is too early. Investing in railways and increasing transportation capacity is

I admit that it is an indispensable link in the development of the national economy. However, as a businessman, I must ensure that my investment at least balances the income and expenditure, right? Judging from the current situation, I see no prospect of profit.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time and said, "As far as I know, the two major powers of train operation and dispatching and railway pricing are in the hands of the Ministry of Railways and relevant government agencies, right? And each railway bureau is not an enterprise unit that can independently calculate.

In order to balance mutual interests, the Ministry of Railways will cross-subsidize the income of these railway bureaus at the end of each year. In other words, what almost every railway bureau ultimately receives is not a reflection of their true income for the year. Moreover, the railway single transportation

Cost accounting is relatively complicated, so there has been a saying in the industry that every railway bureau can only retain as much hidden income as possible by blurring operating costs. I don’t know if this is true?”

Yu Zhengmin smiled bitterly and nodded. He couldn't hide this from him. Even if he didn't admit it, Su Aijun would still nod.

As Fang Mingyuan said, the cost settlement and income distribution of various railway bureaus are now more determined by the Ministry of Railways than by market transaction rules. In other words, the income of railway bureaus is basically the allocation of the Ministry of Railways

The policy has the final say, including line usage fees, locomotive traction fees, catenary usage fees, demarshalling fees, etc., which are not only vague but also confusing. As a result, the railway bureaus in various places have realized that instead of struggling to develop the market, it is better to go to the "ministry" to enter the market.

Money comes easily. Therefore, various railway bureaus still desperately compete for secondary allocations from the Ministry of Railways, and do not devote their main energy to improving technical levels, improving service quality, and optimizing resource allocation.

"And as far as I know, at some railway freight stations, it is often found that there are goods and cars, but they are not loaded and transported. Uncle Yu, Uncle Su, can you tell me why this seemingly incredible thing happens?

"Fang Mingyuan asked with a half-smile.

Yu Zhengmin and Su Aijun were relatively speechless. In fact, this problem also lies in the unique management system of Huaxia Railway. The superior units of the railway system will issue a transportation task quota to each railway bureau every year. If the subordinates work actively and exceed the task, then

The task indicators for the second year will naturally be increased. The revenue of the local railway systems must first be handed over to the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Railways will return it to the local railways according to a set proportion or certain standards, so it has caused interference in the lower-level railway transportation systems.

The more you get, the more passive you become, so transportation units at each level naturally lose their enthusiasm. This phenomenon of "whipping the fast ox" has also hindered the development of Huaxia Railway to a great extent.

"I also know that the transportation work of the railway department is roughly as follows: every year, the Ministry of Railways assigns production and operation tasks to various railway bureaus, and each railway bureau issues transportation plans every month, and among them, the transportation volume of food, medicine, etc.

There are task indicators, and whether transporting these goods makes a profit or loss, the task indicators must be completed. Uncle Yu, is that true?" Fang Mingyuan continued to ask without waiting for the two people to answer.

Yu Zhengmin and Su Aijun looked bitter. It can be said that these questions from Fang Mingyuan touched on the key points of the reform. Railway transportation is indeed the transportation plan for other goods whenever the key materials stipulated by the Ministry of Railways arrive.

must be postponed. This directly leads to the long-term distortion of railway freight rates.

For example, November of every year is the time when coal storage for winter in the north is in full swing, and it also coincides with the "two festivals" period when commodities are transported. It can be said to be the busiest day for railway transportation in the north every year. But in this golden month of transportation

The heads of local railway enterprises in China are busy every day with how to arrange the transportation plan of the Ministry of Railways, because if the transportation plan of the Ministry of Railways cannot be completed, it will be difficult to transport high-profit "white goods", that is, goods other than coal.

This phenomenon is called the "black" and "white" reversal of local railways.

"Also in sharp contrast to the lack of railway transport capacity, on busy lines or during the peak period of Spring Festival travel, ordinary passengers cannot buy tickets at the ticket window at the first time, but after boarding the train, they sometimes find a considerable number of empty seats. This is an abnormal phenomenon

If we can’t find a definite solution to the problems that have arisen, who would dare to wade into this troubled waters?”
