Chapter 90 The wolf is coming

"Damn it! This won't work!" Fang Mingyuan slapped the pen on the desk in annoyance, making a muffled "bang" sound. Across the door from him, he was summarizing all kinds of information collected from various channels.

Lin Lian, who was reading the document, raised her head worriedly, looked into the room, sighed quietly, and lowered her head again.

This was already the third day after returning from Pingchuan. For the whole three days, Fang Mingyuan was almost racking his brains to figure out how to reach the Ministry of Railways if the railway line from Tongchuan to Fengyuan was handed over to him.

Dual requests from Su Huandong. In the past three days, Fang Mingyuan did almost nothing but eat, drink, and sleep. He just sat at the table, searched his intestines, and looked for a way to solve this problem from the memories of his previous life.

What makes Fang Mingyuan feel helpless is that in his past memory, which has always helped him overcome all difficulties, China's railway reform has failed, even more failed! In the reform that lasted for more than ten years, it can be said that the reform plan that can really be achieved is

No!

In the past life, there have been calls for railway reform for a long time, and the Ministry of Railways has also introduced many measures, such as "separating passengers and freight", "separating main and auxiliary", "abolition of branch offices", etc. However, the industry and outsiders are not optimistic about it. In the final analysis, this kind of

The measures are just technical adjustments within the inherent framework, and their effect is destined to be limited. Sometimes they are difficult to implement and "resurgence" occurs. The most typical example is that the passenger transport companies established by various railway bureaus quietly disappear from the public's sight.

outside.

The railway reform plans such as "separation of network and transportation" mentioned by Yu Zhengmin and others on the train obviously drew on foreign railway reform experience, but the problems faced by China Railway are much more complicated than those abroad! Railway reform abroad is only to solve monopoly

problem, or to solve the problem of corporate losses. In addition to monopoly problems and loss problems, Huaxia Railway also has problems with the property rights system and the integration of government and enterprises.

To a large extent, the reform of the railways was due to the discovery by senior officials that the development of railways had fallen far behind the development of the economy and had become a bottleneck for China's economic development. As a result, it attracted a lot of dissatisfaction from all walks of life. If we talk about railway carriages

It is abundant, freight is smooth, passenger fares are reasonable, and it can fully meet the needs of the people and reach the railway service level of Western developed countries. Then not many people will bother to care about whether you have a monopoly or not.

It is precisely because of the lack of railway transportation capacity that freight is not smooth and passenger transportation is crowded. Taking a train not only has to endure high fares, but also has to endure a series of unbearable difficulties such as difficulty in buying tickets, difficulty in taking the train, and overloading. Only in this way can we achieve this goal.

The goal of traveling is a torture that cannot be ignored for citizens whose living standards have been greatly improved and who have a strong desire to go out and see the mountains and rivers of the motherland.

As for the insufficient transportation capacity, on the one hand, it is due to various factors of the railway operator's own problems. On the other hand, and the main aspect is that the railway operating mileage is too short. In a large country with a land area of ​​nearly 10 million square kilometers, the railway operating mileage is only a mere

More than 50,000 kilometers have to meet the travel needs of hundreds of millions of citizens, and at the same time they have to transport huge amounts of goods. Not to mention the Ministry of Railways, even the railway managers of any country in the world will have to worry about it.

.

You must know that the United States, which is almost the same size as China, has an original railway mileage of more than 400,000 kilometers. Even after continuous removal over the years, it still has more than 200,000 kilometers, four or five times that of China. Even

Canada, a country with a land area similar to that of China, but less than one-fifteenth of China's population, has nearly 50,000 kilometers of railway mileage. It can be seen that today's railway operating mileage, for China,

It's really too short.

But to solve the shortage of transportation capacity, it is necessary to increase social investment and build new railways to relieve transportation pressure. However, the Ministry of Railways only operates at a low profit every year. As Yu Zhengmin said, there is not much money saved at all. And

Building a railway is like raising a gold-eating beast. The cost of each kilometer requires tens of millions or even billions of capital investment. A railway line, even if it is only a hundred kilometers long, requires billions of capital investment.

The construction period is long and it is difficult to recover the investment.

China is not without private funds, but it does not solve the problems of the property rights system and the integration of government and enterprises. It combines the multiple roles of road network monopoly, leading transporter, price setter, chief operation dispatcher, industry regulator and administrative law enforcer.

No matter what kind of reforms the Ministry of Railways makes, these private capitals will have a heartfelt fear when they face it. They are afraid that if they are not careful, they will be killed by the behemoth Ministry of Railways with all their bones and skins.

After swallowing it, he still cried and complained.

There are still no clear policies and legal guarantees for the pricing rights, income rights, and exit mechanisms that private capital should enjoy. Because everyone thinks that the Ministry of Railways itself is a giant enterprise with unified dispatching and unified accounting across the country, and the railway department still does not even have the most basic financial information.

Without transparency, even if it has more guarantees of "reasonable returns", it is more like a piece of paper in the eyes of private capital.

Fang Mingyuan's troubles are entangled here. But for now, it is obviously unrealistic to expect the Ministry of Railways to solve the problem of the lack of separation between government and enterprises and the integration of multiple roles into one. This minefield, even if the Ministry of Railways has

Su Huandong, who has an unparalleled reputation, does not dare to touch him easily now.

So how to find a practical way to survive among these difficulties is not easy!

"Secretary Lin, is Mr. Fang inside?" Sun Zhaolun walked in with a briefcase under his arm and asked Lin Lian softly.

"Manager Sun!" Lin Lian quickly stood up. Sun Zhaolun is now the general manager of the Carrefour supermarket chain. It can be said that he is the main manager of the largest asset of the Fang family industry in the country. Of course, Lin Lian does not dare to neglect him.

.

"Don't be so polite!" Sun Zhaolun waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that Lin Lian didn't have to be like this. Lin Lian has been Fang Mingyuan's personal secretary for more than a year. It can be said that at some point, from a certain perspective, she can also represent

Fang Mingyuan and Sun Zhaolun are not the kind of people who rely on their elders to show off their old age. Naturally, they understand the importance of establishing a good relationship with Lin Lian. Moreover, in his opinion, Fang Mingyuan is at the age when love first blooms, and Lin Lian's beauty and ability are both top-notch.

As for him, as a Hong Kong person, there is nothing strange about the fact that something happened between the boss and the secretary that cannot be ignored. So he will not take Lin Lian lightly.

"Master Fang has been worrying about something these past two days. What's your emergency?" Lin Lian asked softly.

"It is indeed urgent, um..." Sun Zhaolun pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, since that's the case, it doesn't matter if we talk about it in a few days."

Before his voice fell, the door of the room was opened from the inside, and Fang Mingyuan walked out, "Sister Lian, you... Manager Sun, why are you here? What's wrong?"

"Ah? Ah, something's wrong!" Sun Zhaolun nodded subconsciously.

"Then come in and talk." Fang Mingyuan stepped aside and said, "Sister Lian, bring me a bottle of frozen drink!"

"Frozen?" Lin Lian was surprised. Although it is already April, the weather in Fengyuan is not warm yet. Is it too early to drink frozen drinks? It will hurt the stomach.

"It's freezing, my head is going to explode thinking about it!" Fang Mingyuan reached back and closed the door.

After Fang Mingyuan returned to his desk, Sun Zhaolun took out a few pieces of paper from his briefcase, handed them to Fang Mingyuan and said, "Young Master Fang, this is the news that just came from Hong Kong. The wolf is coming!"

"Uncle Sun, please sit down. Is the wolf coming?" Fang Mingyuan took the paper and blinked, then repeated it with some confusion.

"Yes, the wolf is coming! And it's probably two hungry wolves!" Sun Zhaolun whispered with a heavy face.

Fang Mingyuan then turned his attention to the paper in his hand. After reading a few lines, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Carefour and Wal-Mart Group intend to invest in China in the near future! Damn! Damn!"

It’s no wonder that Fang Mingyuan is so out of control. In the supermarket chain business, there are only those with a longer-term perspective. No one does not pay attention to the trends of Carefour and Wal-Mart Group. These are two behemoths in retail chain companies, with only a fraction of their assets.

It is more than dozens of times the total assets of the current Carrefour supermarket. What's more, people like Fang Mingyuan who have experienced previous lives know that until two thousand years later, in the first-tier cities in China, when it comes to supermarkets, it is still Carefour.

and Wal-Mart Group are the most popular. People may not know Huapu, Dia Tiantian, and Meilianmei, but how many people don’t know Carrefour and Wal-Mart? What’s more, Fang Mingyuan was the one who brought Carefour Group into China.

The signboard was directly registered and became my own store name.

The following stuff is some information about Carefour and Wal-Mart Group that Sun Zhaolun collected. Fang Mingyuan put these things aside without even looking at them. "Manager Sun, is this news accurate?"

Sun Zhaolun glanced at the information and said calmly: "It is true that it was sent by Mrs. Guo and has been confirmed. Although the two companies have not yet taken specific actions, the management has already included how to enter the Chinese market.

This year's plan. In fact, this is not a whim of the top management of the two groups. They have never forgotten the huge market of China. However, in the past few years, China's policies were unclear, and the income of Chinese people was also uncertain.

It’s not high, so even if they have the intention, it’s not the right time.”

Fang Mingyuan sat on the window sill in annoyance, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't make any sound. Of course, if there were people who knew lip reading at this time, they would know that Fang Mingyuan was repeatedly saying: "His grandma, how can he come in advance?"

Got it!"
