Chapter 1160 Tracing the Origin
When looking at problems from a high-level position, you can often see the problems more clearly. This is not only that people who can stand in this position are all wise and wise people, but also because once you reach this position, there are very few simple interests that can tie them.
In this case, coupled with very considerable intelligence resources and access, it is actually easier to look at the problem objectively. It is precisely because your own interests are actually the interests of all citizens that you can straighten out various relationships and make selective judgments.
There is actually no need to say much about how to deal with state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.
As early as the mid-1980s, due to the dual-track price system, common reselling occurred. One type was that "private" companies carried out crazy reselling activities, but the profits obtained from reselling were still in nature. There were two basic ways to private possession of them, one in the name of contracting, and the other was corruption.
Another type is pseudo-collectives that wear collective hats in private investment, state-owned companies.
At that time, emerging township enterprises were forced to be excluded from the raw material plan and were both the last recipients of raw material reselling activities. Sometimes they also resell themselves. At the same time, countless brokers emerged in society, and there was a saying that one billion people had one billion people.
In this process, the trend of bribery and introduction of bribery has flourished, which is commonly known as the rebate trend.
In this way, a group of reselling private capital, corruption accumulators, bribery accumulators, and bribery accumulators appeared in China. There were a large number of cases in the anti-corruption investigations conducted in the late 1980s.
However, these private capitals are not essentially private capital. The root of their accumulation is the transformation of state-owned capital, and the transformation from collective capital to private capital. Therefore, their sin is not so much the sin of private capital, but the sin of rights and rights.
After entering the 1990s, a group of private capital accumulated over one million through financial activities or financial operations appeared. One was the one who made money by purchasing stock subscription certificates and stocks. They were not guilty, and guilt was also a naive crime for the Chinese stock market itself. In addition, there was also a kind of crime not only guilty, but also serious sin. They used the irregularities of banks and the bribery of bank officials to embezzle huge bank loans in the name of collective enterprises, and then transferred the funds to individuals or their own private enterprises, and the collective enterprises continued to bear bank debts.
The essence of this situation is corruption, which is closely related to the official rights of the corrupt person. Therefore, the crime is still a duty crime, an official and business crime, not a civil and commercial crime.
After Deng Gong's southern tour in 1992, domestic private capital emerged rapidly. For example, Fan Wubing returned from the United States to develop rapidly. This is also a new starting point for domestic economic takeoff and is of great significance to the entire reform and opening up.
Private capital grew rapidly at this time, and there are many reasons.
In terms of sin, there are mainly situations where bribes are accepted, bribes are accepted, and bribes are introduced.
For example, a person who claimed to be the number one private entrepreneur in a certain city back then claimed that his assets were 20 to 30 million yuan in the mid-1990s. His original position was a cadre responsible for crude oil supply. He said he had accepted too many bribes and was afraid that he would be shot after being exposed, so he resigned and opened a factory.
There is also a person who organized private equity funds to operate stocks. He had two villas in Beijing alone, four or five villas and high-end residences in Shanghai, claiming that he no longer knew how to spend money. He turned out to be a ministry and commission of the State Council in charge of import and export approvals, and accumulated a lot of money in his position, and then he accepted the stocks when he was about to get better. He chose to do private equity funds because someone inside, who made profits by doing stocks for the people inside.
There is also corruption, embezzlement of public funds to accumulate capital, use the resources owned by official positions to support relatives or reliable people to operate, and get out of your own shares when the time is right.
The other ones are smuggling, counterfeiting, and financial fraud.
Here, at least the first few are direct official crimes, not the crime of private capital, and not private capital, so there is no such crime of private capital. The latter few, even if they are not official crimes, are generally closely related to the official crimes of others if they want to become bigger.
Another situation is more complicated, that is, the buyout of public enterprises.
Some people deliberately use the privatization policy to turn high-value public capital into low-value private capital, which is full of tricks, and it is not impossible to judge guilt from experience. However, because the government is accustomed to a one-size-fits-all working method, more cases are "giving" public assets to the heads of enterprises and "forcing" them to become private owners.
In some corporate buyout movements that year, when the party committee and government proposed to buyouts between town and village enterprises, of course, the buyouts were naturally the factory managers and managers of these companies. Except for some factory managers and managers who expressed their willingness to transform into private bosses, most of them were not active. The reason was not business but funds. They could not afford money. Some people said, "We have always been honest and earned wages according to the rules. How much money can we pay? The town leaders can calculate that now they are suddenly going to buy out a large amount of money. Do you think we were all embezzlements in the past. There was a lot of money hidden in our family? If we had known this, we would have been corrupt in the past."
As a result, in order to complete the buyout task, I had to greatly discount public assets, and I could only take flexible measures to collect buyout payments, resulting in a half-selling and half-getting situation.
Based on various situations, after the embryo period, domestic private capital has gradually gone from innocent to guilty, from misdemeanor to serious crimes, from less to more crimes, but since it does not belong to the embryo period, it cannot be said to be original sin.
Domestic private capital is a holistic concept, a class or class, and must be examined from its overall evolution. Those who advance later have sinned and are retrospectively original sin, which does not conform to basic logic.
These guilty people come from bureaucrats, businessmen and their allies, and are not real private enterprises. The private nature of private capital determines that real private enterprises can represent the essence of private capital. Therefore, in essence, these guilty private capital cannot represent the guilt of the entire private capital. Let alone private enterprises have original sins.
After those guilty are converted to private capital, they are basically the type of production and trade after bureaucrats resign or bureaucrats use government forces to engage in production and trade, and are not bureaucrats and their relatives but form alliances with bureaucrats and their institutions and use government forces to engage in production and trade. Although the amount of capital is very huge, it does not mean that they account for the majority of private capital in terms of number of people.
In fact, the domestic private capital population is more of the small vendors, small processing industry owners, and small business owners. Therefore, the guilt of a few people cannot represent the guilt of the entire population.
These crimes were mainly committed not when they became private capital, but mainly when they were bureaucrats.
From this perspective, their sin is not the crime of private capital, but the crime of bureaucratic capital. As private capital, they should be innocent. If they accumulate capital through crimes when they are bureaucrats and transfer it to the ranks of private capital, and call it original sin, this is as ridiculous as saying that the puppet army surrendered, revolted and reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and it was as ridiculed asserting that the Eighth Route Army had the original sin of traitors.
It cannot be denied that some individuals of private capital are guilty. For example, those who accumulate capital through counterfeiting and selling fakes are the ones, but the guilt of individuals cannot be equal to the guilt of private capital as a whole. This is as if a worker commits a crime does not mean that the working class is guilty, and a peasant commits a crime does not mean that the peasant class is guilty.
Another statement that claims that private capital has original sin is to judge indiscriminately that they have always had serious tax evasion, which is obviously a crude and lack of rational accusation. The basic goal of all capitals with independent status is always profit, and profits with practical significance are always after-tax profits. Therefore, they will never try to reduce their tax expenses.
It is precisely because of this that tax design and tax rate adjustment have become one of the basic economic levers of a country.
When the national tax types and tax rates are certainly not deductible, there are two basic ways to reduce taxes: one is reasonable tax avoidance, and the other is tax evasion. Reasonable tax avoidance involves complex business skills and accounting techniques, which are both reasonable and legal, and there is no question of whether to commit a crime. Tax evasion is illegal, but only when the tax evasion amount reaches a certain amount, it is a crime.
Reasonable tax avoidance is a common phenomenon. It can be considered that any operator who does not understand or attempts to reasonably avoid tax is not qualified or qualified. Compared with reasonable tax avoidance, tax evasion is always a minority.
The problem is that the government does not encourage and support reasonable tax avoidance based on its financial interests, and lacks research on reasonable tax avoidance. Faced with the general fact of reasonable tax avoidance, it is always denied as tax evasion in concept. Sometimes, it will even impose a penalty on reasonable tax avoidance according to tax evasion, which has created the illusion of general tax evasion in China and formed a strong empirical public opinion, and the spearhead of public opinion is unreasonably guided to private capital.
The fact is that due to the increasing bloated government agencies, the gentrification and aristocratic civil servants, and long-term keen on various image engineering investments, the fiscal system is increasingly falling into the deficit trap, and the government's tax collection is also becoming increasingly stronger.
Tax revenue growth exceeds national economic growth, reflecting the government's tax oppression on enterprises.
The long-term discrimination status of private enterprises determines that when facing high taxes, they are bound to be in the weakest position in the business world. The same amount of tax evasion is generally not subject to criminal prosecution in state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, and foreign enterprises, and in private enterprises, they will naturally follow up on criminal prosecution.
Although the absolute number of private enterprises being held criminally for tax evasion is not large, because state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, and foreign enterprises are rarely held criminally for tax evasion, which further creates the social illusion that all private enterprises are evading tax.
It can be seen from this that the judgment that China's private capital has always had serious tax evasion is based on an illusion of social public opinion and a misleading public opinion.
The debate between the senior government officials on Hebei No. 1 Document lasted for several days, and everyone was so quarreled that it was too late to share the arguments. Finally, they unified their opinions and believed that the introduction of this document was inappropriate.
In fact, the introduction of this document also conflicts with the macro-control currently being carried out by senior management. The central government wants to regulate large-scale investments. On the surface, this document from Hebei seems to have an inseparable need for private enterprises, but in fact it is to loosen the capital of some large bureaucrats in order to obtain return investment.
According to statistics, last year, the added value of the private economy in Hebei accounted for 35.3% of the GDP, 19 percentage points lower than Zhejiang and 10 percentage points lower than Jiangsu; the number of private enterprises in Zhejiang is 2.3 times that of Hebei and 3.2 times that of Hebei.
Therefore, if Hebei's economy wants to have great development, it must make great breakthroughs in the development of the private economy. The provincial leaders are very clear about this.
In their words, in addition to providing some support in funds and projects, the more important thing is to give the private economy equal legal status and a fair competition environment. For political and legal organs, crack down on illegal and criminal activities, regardless of domestic and foreign investment; protect legal rights and interests, and never engage in policy discrimination or differentiated treatment. The legitimate rights and interests of the private economy must be protected with confidence; and matters that infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of the private economy must be resolutely corrected. Of course, if private enterprises commit illegal and criminal acts, they must also be dealt with in accordance with the law.
In fact, the situation is a bit different. In Hebei, smuggling and counterfeiting were also very rampant, and the criminal forces in some places were quite serious. However, after years of development, these people have basically been whitewashed, and some people have even gone ashore and become members of the CPPCC or even representatives of the National People's Congress.
However, one thing is very important, that is, everyone's soles are covered with mud and water, and they can't seem to be able to see it when they stand still. As long as they raise their feet when they move, they will immediately reveal the filling.
For this reason, the forgiveness of original sin has become a key to the exchange of interests.
After intervening in the matter, the senior management immediately found out the whole story of the release of the document, and also followed the clues to find several key figures who prompted the release of the document. Needless to say, as long as you carefully check it out, you will immediately find a bunch of old accounts, and several of them were all whitewashed by the underworld. Therefore, some old cases in the past, even murders and murders were all like a thorn in the throat.
This time, I took advantage of the opportunity of making the No. 1 document to completely solve my problem, but I didn't expect that this matter would be a little bit bigger and the media's hype and debate also made them at the forefront, so the results were unexpected.
