Chapter 209 Pei Qianqian's Method
"Manager Li, can you tell us about your company's overseas investment?" Qi Tongwei asked curiously.
Based on his initial observation, Li Jun did not seem to be an incompetent person, so why was his overseas investment so useless?
"Mayor Qi, this..." Facing Qi Tongwei's question, Li Jun looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qi Tongwei looked at his expression and understood that he must have something to say, but for some reason he didn't dare to speak easily.
So, he said encouragingly: "If you have any ideas or suggestions, just tell me directly, don't hesitate, and I will cover you up if anything goes wrong."
Hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Li Jun seemed to be encouraged. After taking a deep breath, he mustered up the courage to say, "Mayor Qi, can you simplify the approval process and not have so many cumbersome procedures? These cumbersome procedures really affect the development of the company."
There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his voice.
Qi Tongwei frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Li Jun said excitedly: "Mayor Qi, I went to the United States two years ago and talked with a classmate of mine. We both believed that the Internet would be the next blue ocean industry.
At that time, I felt that the prospects for investing in the Internet were very good, so after returning to China, I reported this to my superiors.
But I didn't expect that there would be so many difficulties after submitting this report.
Each unit asked us to explain the reasons and clarify various details. After a lot of effort, we finally got the approval in October last year.
If you follow the economy, you will know that in October last year, the Internet market was in the stage of bubble bursting and was no longer suitable for investment.
Even if you want to short, you have missed the best time.
This year should have been a great time to buy at the bottom, but we had to resubmit the application and wait for approval. This back and forth not only caused the company to miss valuable investment opportunities, but also wasted time and resources. "
Li Jun's tone was full of regret and helplessness. He could have seized the opportunity to make a fortune, but he lost the chance due to slow approval.
Qi Tongwei glanced at Li Jun, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and said, "Show me your application materials."
If what Li Jun said is true, then he is truly a talented person.
After a while, the secretary came in with a dozen file boxes filled with various application materials. Qi Tongwei took the file boxes and began to read them carefully.
As he read deeper, his expression became more and more solemn, and he couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
The views and suggestions in these application materials are very forward-looking. If they can be approved at the beginning, Green Vine Industrial Development Co., Ltd. will definitely be able to achieve great development.
Qi Tongwei realized that this was indeed an issue worthy of attention, but he also understood that complete liberalization would face another problem - the lack of effective supervision of funds would easily lead to the loss of state-owned assets.
The best way is to find a balance, ensuring effective supervision of funds while ensuring flexibility in investment approval to promote the rapid development of enterprises.
As for completely eliminating corruption and preventing the loss of state-owned assets, that is almost impossible.
Even after another twenty years, this phenomenon will still be difficult to avoid.
"The issue you raised is worthy of attention. I will conduct a special study on this issue. After this round of research is completed, I will give you a specific reply.
Of course, if your company has any good suggestions, you can also bring them out. It is impossible to completely relax supervision as you want. Even in private enterprises, there needs to be checks and balances between them. Moreover, our money belongs to the country, so it needs more supervision. "Qi Tongwei said after thinking for a while.
"Thank you, Mayor Qi, we really need to let go." Li Jun said excitedly.
Qi Tongwei nodded to indicate that he understood. Then Qi Tongwei had a working lunch at Luteng Industrial Development Co., Ltd., and then continued to his next stop - Luteng Yueda Group Co., Ltd. with the questions from the research.
The company is large in scale and its business covers many fields, including not only the sale of auto parts but also the sale of fertilizers and seeds.
A typical showpiece enterprise, big but not sophisticated.
Moreover, this company has a lot of problems. From the management to the employees, the whole company is filled with an atmosphere of just getting by, and everyone from top to bottom lacks fighting spirit.
If no changes are made, Qi Tongwei can already imagine that the company will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
This negative attitude undoubtedly conveyed a message to Qi Tongwei: the task he shouldered was extremely arduous and the road ahead was long and arduous.
In the next few days, Qi Tongwei visited eight companies of different types without stopping, but none of them made him feel completely at ease.
After investigation, Qi Tongwei found that there are many factors that affect the development of enterprises, but they can be roughly divided into three categories.
First, the cumbersome administrative approval procedures have become a bottleneck restricting the development of enterprises, seriously affecting the operational efficiency and development plans of enterprises.
Secondly, the inaction of the company's management is also a prominent problem. For them, the system of Green Ivy State-owned Enterprises does not affect their own interests much, no matter how much profit the company makes.
It is precisely because of this that the management seriously lacks fighting spirit and the management of the unit has become increasingly lax.
Finally, it is not uncommon for government departments to frequently interfere with the normal production and operation activities of enterprises. Some officials ask enterprises to pay for their lavish meals and drinks, which places a heavy burden on enterprises.
During the research period, Qi Tongwei often called his wife Pei Qianqian to ask her about business development issues. He believed that entrepreneurs are always the most professional in business reform.
After these years of training, Pei Qianqian has already become a real entrepreneur, and she has her own way of managing a business.
Qi Tongwei had never asked Pei Qianqian for advice on work, but this time he made an exception. Pei Qianqian was very excited. She finally regained some confidence. Otherwise, she would have thought her husband was omnipotent.
Based on her own management experience, Pei Qianqian told Qi Tongwei that if you want the horse to run fast, you must feed it grass.
If you want management to work hard, the best way is to give them a certain percentage of profits as dividends, so as to stimulate their passion for doing things and starting businesses.
Pei Qianqian thinks that the problem of burdening enterprises is easy to solve.
As long as it is notified that future visits to enterprises for research must be approved by the municipal government, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will be sent to investigate party members and cadres. Once someone is found to have violated the rules by eating and drinking and asking the enterprise to pay for it, they should be dealt with seriously and will not be tolerated.
Pei Qianqian couldn't explain the complicated approval process. She also believed that enterprises should be given more freedom, but how to do it specifically still needed further study.
After all, we cannot allow a lack of supervision to occur and cause the loss of state-owned assets due to loosening of controls.
In the past two days, Qi Tongwei has also received many suggestions from state-owned enterprise employees regarding improvement methods for cumbersome approval processes, but most people's suggestions are just paper talk, totally unrealistic and lack operability.
However, there are some methods that can be discussed. Although they may not be very mature, they give him ideas for solutions.
