8. Boss. In ten years of working in a state-owned enterprise, I have had five boss changes, one every two years on average. The first one was a welder, and the second one was in office for three years and stayed in Wuhan for less than a year. I heard that he spent most of his time working as an official in Beijing, and then he actually went to Beijing. The third and fourth ones were also transferred away. I have never met the owner of a foreign company. I heard that he is a British Chinese, but he cannot speak Chinese. In fact, he is not a real boss, he is just a professional manager hired by shareholders and the board of directors. But leaders in charge and department managers often interact. The leader in charge is a foreigner who has stayed in China for 10 years, and the department manager is Chinese. They are all good. In fact, everyone is working part-time. The owner of the private enterprise (Chutian Laser) is Sun Wen, a famous private entrepreneur in Wuhan. He is a very shrewd person. Don't be fooled by his honest appearance when you first meet him. But it still feels a bit petty.
In particular, the prices offered to employees are too low, and they like to hire retired engineers and employees with some problems (such as disabilities). I don’t think it’s because they have good intentions, but mainly because the prices for such people are not high. However, this also shows the difficulty in the growth of private enterprises. They not only lack money, but also lack core technologies, talents, and policies. But it developed very quickly. When I was studying, I rented a house in front of the school and started a company. Now it is the largest laser equipment manufacturer in the country. 9. Business performance. When I was in the state-owned enterprise, there were 1,500 employees in the company and 1,300 retired people. The output value in the best year was 600 million. The profits were declining year by year. When I left, the profit was 2 million. When I was at Chutian Laser, we had about 300 people, an output value of 100 million, and no clear profit. Currently, the foreign company where I work has 500 people, with an output value of 2 billion and a profit of 100 million in 2005 (because foreign companies like to transfer profits, this number is not only empty, but the actual number may be much higher than this).
I personally feel that the gap between state-owned enterprises and foreign companies is - "quite" big (Quotes from celebrity Baiyun). It is difficult for 500 people to produce an output value of 2 billion by themselves. It can only rely on management. "Only management-type enterprises can produce benefits." At present, many foreign companies in China are management-type and have very few employees. Only in this way can we obtain benefits. High profits are also the reason why domestic supporting capabilities are strong. If foreign companies import everything, their prices are actually not competitive. I have always believed that if private enterprises can master core technologies, their profitability should be better than that of foreign enterprises, because private enterprises understand China's national conditions better. Many foreign companies have actually failed in China, and the reasons for their failure are almost the same - a thorough understanding of China's national conditions, and what is in line with economic laws may not necessarily be in line with Chinese rules. Projects that can make money in any country may not necessarily make money in China. Projects that can only make a small amount of money in other countries may make a lot of money in China. Because China is too special. When dealing with state-owned enterprises such as "Wuchuan" and "Wuguo", I feel more and more that if our once glorious state-owned enterprises do not change their development ideas, they will only have to work for others. The high end of the market lies in brand, technology, management, not production. If China becomes the world's factory without its own brand and technology, the final result will only be low wages and low efficiency. Our national policy is the most favorable in the world for foreign investment, which is so favorable that it exceeds national treatment. The high profits made by foreign investment in China surprise even themselves. Many foreign companies in China import parts at high prices and even support the supporting foreign companies. Only when China's private enterprises rise can they withstand the strong offensive of these foreign enterprises - I have no hope for state-owned enterprises. When I was in Zhejiang, I saw that there were several imported processing centers in a small town. There was a nationally famous food machinery factory there. All the parts could be completed by self-employed people in one town. The private economy there was more active than I had ever seen before. According to the imagination, a small town is equivalent to a large processing factory, but it is an individual economy. When such individuals form a community and form a large industry, the competitiveness will be huge. May China’s national industry become stronger as soon as possible!
