This year’s Chinese New Year is just like usual. The only difference is that after the New Year’s Eve dinner, the whole family gathers in front of the TV to watch CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala at this time is not rehearsed. Audiences in the Kyoto area can call to order programs, and the on-site artists will select suitable programs to perform on the spot based on whether the performance props are complete.
Not to mention, it was quite fresh for Zhao Yi to watch this for the first time. The Spring Festival Gala that Zhao Yi watched in his previous life had gone through several rounds of rehearsals.
The only way to interact with the audience was to send red envelopes, send blessing text messages, etc. It felt uninteresting, and the sense of mass participation was very low. In the end, no young people even wanted to watch it, and the entire Spring Festival Gala could only be reduced to background music. .
At this time, Zhao Zhongxiang's smile was sincere, Liu Xiaoqing was still a young girl, and teacher Li Guyi's singing never stopped. The audience loved listening to it and there was nothing they could do about it.
The overall feeling of the scene is that of a temporary stage, and there are no irrelevant people waiting to join in the fun. The people sitting below are all artists, and they will be called on to perform on stage at any time.
With a novel feeling, Zhao Yi accompanied Zhou Zhigang's family to watch the entire Spring Festival Gala. However, the program source was not very clear and did not match the high-definition LCD TV that Zhao Yi gave to Zhou Zhigang.
Seeing this, Zhao Yidu wanted to call Polaris and ask them to sell their digital TV program production equipment to domestic TV stations.
Polaris' digital TV program production equipment has been available for a long time, and has been provided to ATV for more than half a year.
But why haven’t domestic TV stations adopted this equipment? Zhao Yi was still a little curious, but it was difficult to call Zhang Ruimin to ask this question during the New Year.
So Zhao Yi asked Zhou Ling and found out that Polaris Company had actually promoted its equipment to domestic TV stations, but they all disliked the high price.
Nowadays, with the exception of CCTV, domestic TV stations are doing well, while TV stations in other provinces are not doing so well. They spend a penny in half, and the equipment they use is very simple program production equipment.
Polaris' digital production equipment, a digital camera alone, costs several million yuan, not to mention other digital program production equipment. Overall, it doesn't cost hundreds of millions, so it's a no-brainer.
Because the entire set of equipment uses a large amount of advanced semiconductor technology, digital production technology and image and sound collection technology, it is a pioneer in digital program production in this era, and they are worth the price.
Polaris Company is not like later domestic companies. As long as it develops its own products, it will keep the price very low. The company will not make much profit, and the treatment of the company's employees will not be very high, and the degree of involution is very deep.
Of course, it’s not that China doesn’t want to sell at high prices, it just wants to gain market share. Price war is always the most effective.
If your product is unique and has a monopoly nature, I believe everyone knows how to obtain the maximum profit. However, domestic companies basically do not have such products, so they can fall into the quagmire of price wars.
Polaris is different. Not only does it have many groundbreaking products, but almost all of its products surpass any similar product in the world in terms of technology.
It is precisely with this kind of confidence that we can conquer cities and territories around the world and make huge profits.
Although Polaris Company's full-year net profit margin in 1983 was only 28%, this was because Polaris Company purchased parts from its brother companies and offered high profit margins, resulting in the profit margins of its brother companies being higher than its own. .
Of course, without high-end parts from brother companies, Polaris' own high-end products would not be possible. These are complementary to each other.
After understanding the crux of the problem, Zhao Yi also felt that it was more difficult to solve. He couldn't sell it to domestic TV stations at a low price. If he did, how would he sell it to foreign TV stations in the future
This kind of unpopular thing should be done if possible. Since we cannot take care of all domestic TV stations, we can only encourage CCTV to purchase it.
The purpose of this is that, firstly, CCTV's channel has a wide audience and can benefit more TV viewers, and secondly, it has a demonstration effect.
In the past, the country was like this anyway, and there was no aggressive spirit. If CCTV emerges as an outlier, then other TV stations will no longer be able to deceive themselves.
Not all provinces in the country are poor now, especially the provinces and municipalities where Zhao Yi's companies are located. The taxes paid by these companies alone are a huge amount.
There is no subsequent reform of the tax-sharing system. Local tax authorities have a large interception weight, resulting in some places being richer than the central government.
Like Kyoto, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangzhou, and Sichuan, they are Fanxing Software Company, Hengtong Communications Company, Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, Tianxing Semiconductor Company, Shenlong Automobile, Polaris Company, Future Space Technology Company, Interstellar Express Company, Star Sky The tax revenue of these places where the headquarters of companies such as Dynamics Corporation are located will rise significantly in 1983.
Zhao Yi even suspected that these local governments would not know how to spend the revenue for a while if they suddenly received so much tax revenue.
This is like a person who was originally poor and suddenly became rich. What they think about is soy milk and fried dough sticks, because they don't know how rich people should live.
Similarly, the finances of these local governments have also suddenly skyrocketed. If this "windfall" cannot be effectively used, the assistance to social and economic development will be much weakened.
Since there may be such a problem, there is nothing wrong with letting Polaris spend money for them.
By extension, these places have become wealthy, but most other areas in the country are still very poor. This will form an obvious wealth gap and violate Zhao Yi's original intention of hoping that domestic economic development will be relatively balanced. .
There are agricultural and animal husbandry companies in the northwest region, as well as a dairy company under construction. Forestry-related companies will be established in the future, which can provide a large amount of financial revenue to the local area.
However, the annual income of agricultural and animal husbandry companies is too much and the annual taxes paid are too much, so most of them are transferred by the central government.
This is considered a special case. After all, agricultural and animal husbandry companies paid 156.8 billion yuan in profits and taxes in 1983, and it is expected that this tax will reach 576.8 billion yuan in 1984.
With such a large amount of tax revenue generated by a single enterprise, the central finance department certainly does not allow local governments to share such a large amount of tax revenue alone. After all, the central finance department is also very poor.
But this is not a conventional tax system, nor is it a long-term solution. In the final analysis, it is a temporary measure, so Zhao Yi believes that it is necessary to propose tax reform now.
It's just that I am just a businessman and do not hold any position in the government, so I am not suitable to make such suggestions.
In the previous life, the central government had no money, and disasters occurred in some difficult areas. They hoped that the central government would provide money for disaster relief. As a result, the central government had no money, and the then finance minister still needed local financial departments to raise donations.
As a result, the financial departments of some wealthy provinces did not give face, because according to the "contract" contract, they only need to give a sum of money to the central government every year, and the rest is the province's own fiscal revenue.
It is precisely this dilemma that led to the emergence of the tax-sharing reform in 1994. "Weakening the central government and strengthening local governments" has caused great problems in our country since ancient times.
If it is something that is very close to you, there is no problem in talking about it with your own influence.
But this tax reform has nothing to do with him. He only needs to pay taxes in a disciplined manner, so it is not suitable for him to give opinions.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi felt a little helpless, but if he participated in politics now, many people would probably be suspicious of him.
After all, his company already accounts for more than half of the country's GDP and already has unparalleled influence in the economic field. If he participates in politics again, it will make many people sleepless.
The current situation is that Zhao Yi and the government have reached a certain balance. Both parties have huge influence in their respective fields, and both parties respect the other's authority in their respective fields.
This is also the reason why many of Zhao Yi's economic development proposals were approved. He can even participate in industries that only state-owned enterprises could participate in in his previous life.
For example, in the petrochemical industry of Huaxia International Petrochemical Company, there is no difference in treatment except that they are not allowed to conduct oil and gas exploration in the country.
Similarly, the research on nuclear power plants conducted by Xinhui Energy Company was previously the domain of CNNC, but is now open to it. Of course, the nuclear raw materials are still provided by CNNC.
Now the government and Zhao Yi have the same goal, which is to work hard to develop the domestic economy and make the people rich as soon as possible. This is the basis for the two sides to reach a balance.
However, Zhao Yi cannot guarantee whether this tacit understanding will still exist when the economy develops in the future and the economic aggregate reaches the first place in the world.
To be honest, in the eyes of outsiders, these are huge wealth, but in his view, it is just a little money. If the money can be used for the people by then, he himself will not care.
But he is afraid that the money may not necessarily reach the people in the end, but will enrich a small number of people. This is something Zhao Yi cannot tolerate.
"Don't forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind." This sentence is simple to say, but there are many people who can do it, especially the descendants of subsequent politicians, how many of them have upheld this original intention.
Zhao Yi is pessimistic about this, but if he wants to solve these problems, Zhao Yi currently has no particularly good way.
It is absolutely impossible to develop one's own force. It will not benefit anyone if it causes civil strife. This is a result where all parties lose, especially the people at the bottom, who will suffer even more.
"When things prosper, the people suffer; when they die, the people suffer." This sentence is not said casually.
If we look at the development speed of the previous life, this time will be very long, long enough that we can temporarily ignore this issue.
But in this life, due to his own appearance, the speed of economic development can be said to be rapid. If we want to achieve the goal of being the first in global economic GDP, the time will be greatly shortened, and it will not even take twenty years.
During this period of time, you must keep one hand in mind, and you cannot start thinking of solutions until the end of the matter. This will not only make you busy, but also may not necessarily lead to success.
Just how to arrange it is a problem that gives Zhao a headache. The best layout will achieve the effect of going straight along the route without major twists and turns in the middle.
If you want to do this, you must reach a consensus on a larger goal among the whole people, that is to say, it is not only the goal of achieving great national rejuvenation, because in Zhao Yi's view, this goal is too difficult to achieve.
Before this goal is achieved, we can also maintain the unity of the whole country and ensure that the upper levels of government can work together.
But if it is achieved, if there is no larger goal later, will there be a struggle for power and profit? Will you sacrifice the interests of the country for the interests of your own family
Looking at our country, every dynasty goes through such a process, and it seems impossible to break away from this law. Although there is no family world now, Zhao Yi feels that it will be more dangerous in the future.
Because there is no unified target of attack, those country borers hide in tree holes with peace of mind, secretly sucking the nutrients from the trees until the entire country completely rots and collapses.
If Zhao Yiyi only has a life span of a few decades, then there is no need to think so far. After all, the subsequent events are beyond his control, so there is no need to worry about it.
But Zhao Yi is confident that he will live a long life, so these issues will inevitably come into his thinking. (End of chapter)
