Everyone attending the meeting noticed this detail, but none of them knew that the note was written by Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan was too young, and Xia Honghua did not introduce him, so no one paid attention to him.
Xia Honghua opened the note and looked at it, then refolded it and handed it to the leader of the Civil Aviation Administration of China on his left. After reading it, the leader folded it and gave it to Xia Honghua to put away.
The leader of the Civil Aviation Administration of China spoke up and said, "Don't talk about management buyout. Lao Zhan, you have studied some foreign experiences. I have also studied them. Director Xia knows more about these."
"Management buyout is a reform method that emerged in the privatization process of capitalist societies. Whether this method is suitable for use in our socialist countries is currently undecided. It is related to the change of the nature of state-owned enterprises and is not a matter of a few words.
You can speak clearly."
The leader changed the subject and said, "As for New Beihang, this is a pilot project carried out by the Restructuring Committee. We hope that in this way we can find a development path that state-owned airlines can learn from. Director Xia also said just now
Yes, there are state-owned shares in New Beihang Airlines."
At this point, he stopped and his attitude was very clear.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China does not agree with the plan to occupy Tucai, and the hope of occupying Tucai can only be pinned on Xia Honghua. If the Structural Reform Commission agrees, the Civil Aviation Administration of China will have nothing to say.
Xia Honghua bluntly said, "The Restructuring Commission will not agree to the management buyout, and the nature of Northwest Airlines as a state-owned enterprise is not allowed to change. Mr. Zhan, your most important task at the moment is to do a good job in the aftermath and make rectifications based on the opinions put forward by the expert group."
As for where Northwest Airlines will go, we will discuss it at the next meeting."
He looked at a deputy governor of the provincial capital, who shook his head.
Xia Honghua announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Yao Yuan walked out among the crowd. As soon as he reached the stairs, Xia Honghua's secretary chased him, "Mr. Yao, the director asked you to come over."
After all, Yao Yuan had no choice but to follow his secretary back to the conference room. At this time, there were Xia Honghua, the deputy governor, and the leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
Xia Honghua said, "Let me introduce, this is Vice Governor Zheng, and this is Director Tang from the General Office of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. These two, this is Yao Yuan, chairman of the board of directors of Chunfeng Group, and the new Beihang is handed over to him."
They didn't know Yao Yuan, but they knew his name very well and greeted him politely.
Yao Yuan did not dare to neglect, these two were at the same level as Xia Honghua.
At this time, the Civil Aviation Administration of China is an agency directly under the State Council, a provincial and ministerial-level unit, exactly like other ministries and commissions. It will not become a national bureau managed by the Ministry of Transport until the ministry reform in 2008.
Xia Honghua said, "The idea of mergers and reorganizations was proposed by Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao, please tell me your thoughts in detail."
He attached so much importance to Yao Yuan's opinions that naturally Vice Governor Zheng and Director Tang paid attention to them. Xia Honghua had already introduced Yao Yuan's situation before.
Being able to seize two large oil fields abroad and independently facilitate the construction of a 3,000-kilometer-long oil pipeline is enough to prove Yao Yuan's ability.
Most importantly, Yao Yuan is a supporter of the view that state-owned enterprises should assume the pillars of social economy.
The entire 1990s was a period when state-owned enterprises were most severely impacted by the wave of privatization. Fortunately, Russia's increasingly privatized economic situation has provided China with a negative teaching material.
As China's largest private entrepreneur, Yao Yuan's support for state-owned enterprises to play a dominant role in national construction and social economy is undoubtedly more convincing.
Yao Yuan never hides any major issues of right or wrong, otherwise he would not pass a note to Xia Honghua during the meeting.
Yao Yuan said, "Aviation companies are a pillar industry and are related to national security and the development of national aviation technology. It is not appropriate to adopt a management buyout plan."
He looked at Xia Honghua and said, "I personally am not willing to acquire Beihang Airlines, not because of the huge investment required, but for the reasons I just mentioned. As an independent investor, I would be very willing to invest in the state-owned airlines
However, I have concerns about operating such a large airline independently. To be honest with the three leaders, I am worried about policy changes."
"Later I also thought about it. At worst, I would hand it over to the state later." He smiled.
Xia Honghua said seriously, "What are you talking about? What is sold to you is yours. No matter how the policy changes, it will not follow the path of twenty years ago."
Waving his hand, Yao Yuan looked at Director Tang and said, "Mr. Zhan is right in what he said. The incomplete separation of government and enterprises has restricted the development of enterprises. The Civil Aviation Administration of China has organized the fleets under the six major air traffic control areas into six major backbones.
The purpose of airlines is to adapt to the market economy and let enterprises do business, while administrative departments do industry management. This is right."
"But the affiliation is too complicated, which restricts the development of the enterprise. I mentioned an idea to Director Xia: Can we set up a department specifically to manage state-owned assets? Nowadays, the affiliation of state-owned enterprises is very complicated, with hundreds of companies under various ministries and commissions.
."
Yao Yuan paused and said, "Set up a state-owned assets management department to manage large state-owned enterprises across the country. Transforming state-owned enterprises into central enterprises not only improves their political standing, but also simplifies management relationships. For example, selecting a few large-scale enterprises in each industry
Strong companies merge to form one or two companies to enhance competitiveness and expand their influence in the industry."
"Enterprises involved in the defense industry and national security must be cautious and have targeted policies. As for other small state-owned enterprises, they can be handed over to local governments and let them take responsibility and play a leading role in regional economic development.
"
He took a sip of tea and said, "My opinion is that the five major airlines under the jurisdiction of the Civil Aviation Administration of China can definitely be merged and reorganized. China Southern Airlines, Air China, and China Eastern Airlines are developing better. The areas where these three airlines are located are among the three largest airlines in my country. As an economic center, I personally think we only need to keep these three airlines."
"Sooner or later, we will have to compete with foreign airlines. We must not only defend the local market, but also go global. Take a look at the top ten foreign airlines. One of their airlines is larger than our national airlines combined. Mergers and acquisitions
Reorganizing the new three major airlines will help improve our overseas competitiveness."
Now that the decision has been made, Yao Yuan has no reservations. He said, "New Beihang has signed cooperation agreements with Hong Kong Cathay Pacific and Aeroflot to carry out in-depth cooperation on international long-distance routes. In the future, we will cooperate with more foreign airlines.
We decided to go out to make money from foreigners and earn foreign exchange. New Beihang’s future operating income from overseas markets will account for one-third of its total revenue."
Director Tang's heart was so excited that he didn't care about anything else. Just going out and making money from foreigners was enough to make him fascinated.
However, if we follow what Yao Yuan said, it will undoubtedly be a big move. None of the three people here have the right to make the decision. However, they are think tank cadres and can formulate industry development plans...
