Chapter 2000 (2/2)

Ji Feng asked, ”So what?”

”Since it's a strategic project, we have to give it to a private enterprise,” He said. ”In our country, no matter how big the private enterprise is, it will always support the economy, and there are more restrictions than the state-owned enterprises. You should know that, right?”

Ji Feng nodded, ”I know a little.”

In our country, state-owned enterprises are the main economic system, while private enterprises are auxiliary. Although China's economy has been going a long way since it began to develop rapidly, state-owned enterprises have been standing firm since.

And the person who should be most thankful for all of this was the iron-willed old boss Hong back then.

Since the reform and opening up to the outside world, the rapid economic development, on the one hand, has produced a lot of corruption, especially in the state-owned enterprises, those leaders who have power in their hands, more money, and the vile nature of human beings are vividly displayed in their bodies, so all sorts of disgusting phenomena appeared.

As a result of this phenomenon, a large number of state-owned enterprises are insolvent, many enterprises go bankrupt and a large number of workers are unemployed.

At this time, many people were preaching some opinions. For example, because it was an era of market economy, state-owned enterprises with stiff bodies could no longer keep up with the times. They lacked the compet.i.tive strength and did not have the ability to survive.

The way to solve these problems was to make the state-owned enterprises change their systems, allow them to purchase from the private sector, and turn them into private enterprises. This way, the enterprises would become their own, and the boss would naturally have the money to make a profit, and the enterprises would be able to survive and grow...

However, at that time, the steel-like boss had used his tough way to suppress this wave of events, because he knew very well that those who said those words were all selfish. They all wanted to turn the country's property into their own at an extremely low price.

At that time, the Chief sent several surveillance teams to patrol the entire country and resolutely investigate this phenomenon.

In Ji Feng's impression, he had once seen a piece of news online. In a certain province, there was a large machinery factory, and the machines inside the factory were worth tens of millions. Adding in the factories, land, patent technology, sales channels, and other intangible a.s.sets, the total a.s.sets amounted to several hundred million.

However, at that time, it was only valued at two million and it was sold to a private person.

When this matter was investigated, it could be said that the whole country was shocked. Just the machines in the factory itself were treated as sc.r.a.p iron for sale. The whole factory was not only worth such a small amount of money!

Later on, he found out that the owner of this factory was originally a vice president of this factory, and he had a very close relations.h.i.+p with the city's leader...

Things like this happened all over the place, almost forming a trend. Even a famous economic scholar in one of the famous universities in the country was preaching that state-owned enterprises could not survive and might as well sell them to private sources.

However, the boss was able to withstand the pressure from all sides. Relying on his tough wrist and his exceptional economic skills, he was determined to check up on all sides as he tried to correct the situation. In the end, he managed to resist this trend, allowing most of the state-owned enterprises to have a new life.

After so many years of development, SOEs are now very compet.i.tive, completely not worse than private companies.

It could be said that all of this was the work of a group of ambitious people, represented by the iron hand of the boss.

If not for their unyielding att.i.tude back then, their courage to be the first to reach the world, and their ability to do so, who knows how many businesses would have become private. If that were to happen, the ones who would suffer would be the country and the citizens.

Thinking of the steel-armed boss, Ji Feng couldn't help but recall his sonorous words.

”No matter if it's the Earthen Thunder Array or the bottomless chasm, I will advance forward without hesitation. I will bow down to the best of my abilities and leave this place in the afterlife!”

”I've prepared a hundred coffins, and I have one as well. It's nothing more than a mutual destruction, in exchange for the country's longevity and peace …”

… ….

Even until now, the boss' sonorous and pa.s.sionate words still reverberated throughout the Divine Great Land without end.

In fact, there were many things that were beneficial to the commoners that had started from that time, such as social medical insurance, free and compulsory education, and so on …

However, it was said that the old man had been a.s.sa.s.sinated countless times …
