Chapter 102 Milton's Arrival

Yiming said that the growth of Wen, the person next to him, has been entrusted to Mo Quanzemao. If Liu Linlian can grow into a unique talent, it will undoubtedly be worthwhile for him, a boss who lacks talents. Great event to celebrate.However, Fang Mingyuan believes that in a few years, with the severe domestic employment situation, domestic college students will no longer be assigned jobs after graduation, and more and more college students will enter the Fang family's industry to work.Moreover, there will be more and more elites who will go into the sea angrily because they are not satisfied with the rigid system of state-owned enterprises.

Internationally, due to the coming of the financial crisis, a large number of companies will go bankrupt and a large number of professional managers will lose their jobs. At that time, as long as the Fang family plants the golden phoenix trees, will they still worry about not attracting the golden phoenix?

However, talents introduced from outside are not as good as those cultivated by themselves after all, and they are more loyal to enterprises and companies.So Fang Mingyuan was really happy about Lin Lian's growth.

In the days that followed, on the one hand, Fangjia Restaurant intentionally posted some advertisements on the campus of Jinghua University, and on the other hand, through the school, it also provided some work-study jobs to college students.This was still very rare in Beijing in 1990, but it was very popular among Jinghua University's non-local college students whose families were not well-to-do.

And those people in Lin Rong's dormitory regard this place as a place to improve their life and food treatment, and they will come to Fang's restaurant for a full meal every now and then.

And Mr. Milton, Cameron's fan, came very quickly. On the fourth day after Fang Mingyuan received Cameron's call, he had already flown from the United States to China's capital.

Milton Douglas, in his early sixties this year, has silver hair and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He has a bit of scholarly style, and his height of 1.8 meters makes him stand out from the crowd.Fang Mingyuan saw him from the crowd almost immediately.Just got in the car.Milton opened up the chatterbox.

"Actually, I personally have a good impression of Huaxia. Mr. Fang may not know that the Union Pacific Corporation I work for used a lot of iron when it was building the trans-American continent and connecting the Atlantic and Pacific railways. Chinese workers, and these Chinese workers are generally hard-working, hard-working, thrifty, willing to humbly learn various skills in railway construction. At that time, the construction of the Pacific Railway had to pass through the Xuerang Mountains on the eastern edge of California, which is the boundary between California and Nevada. The tops of the peaks are covered with snow all the year round. At that time, the project of crossing the railway had to dig out the roadbed along the steep mountain walls. There was no way to stand on these almost vertical cliffs, let alone dig mountains to build roads. However, Chinese workers used traditional Chinese chiseling methods The method is to suspend the workers from the top of the cliff to the middle of the mountain with ropes, and to cut a small hole on the mountain wall by hand. Then put gunpowder. After igniting the fuze, the workers are pulled up quickly before the explosion. Repeat the operation. A narrow path that can accommodate pedestrians. Then continue to dig to the width of the roadbed and lay rails. After the hard work of the Chinese workers, the Central Pacific Railway finally overcame all difficulties and passed the snow-capped mountains. After entering the plains, the vast number of Chinese workers worked day and night. The ten-mile railway was laid in twelve hours a day. In fact, without the labor and wisdom of the Chinese workers, it would have taken far more than four years to build the railway!" Milton said with some emotion, "If Mr. Fang If you have the opportunity to go to San Francisco, drive out of the San Francisco Bay Area and drive east along the NO.80 Interstate. When you pass through the Donner Pass close to the state border, you can see a piece, which was established by the local historical society. A copper plaque with the inscription: Twelve thousand Chinese laborers worked hard to open the railway across the mountains." These skilled Asian masters have left indelible marks in the history of California and the West. "

Fang Mingyuan grinned inwardly. Although the Chinese laborers had made such great contributions in the construction of the Pacific Railway, the Americans did not treat these Chinese laborers very kindly, which then triggered a new anti-Chinese movement.

After the completion of the cross railway, these Chinese workers were not only unemployed, but also massacred and expelled.In the western states of the United States, "Chinese exclusion" has become a slogan for the Democratic and Republican parties to win votes.In this case, the surviving Hua Leng was alive and dead.According to the law at that time, Chinese could not be naturalized as American citizens, they were not allowed to own real estate, they had to pay a head tax of [-] yuan per person, their heads could not be too large, and their bones could not be exported after death. Wuxu opened in a brick house, and there are a lot of laws and regulations specifically controlling the Chinese.It was not until a few years ago, on the [-]th anniversary of the American Transit Railway, that a sign was erected to honor the contributions of Chinese laborers.But what's the use?Those Chinese laborers who worked so hard to build the railway in those years have already been reduced to ashes.However, after all, Milton is an expert invited by Cameron to solve the China Railway Pilot Project, so he does not want the two sides to meet this time either.
Milton saw that Fang Mingyuan seemed a little disapproving, and sighed lightly: "I think, Mr. Fang, he must think that I am insincere. Those respectable Chinese workers back then did deserve people's sympathy. My compatriots have indeed gone too far. The anti-Chinese trend at that time was actually related to the internal economic conflicts in the United States at that time. After the completion of the cross railroad, many enterprises in the west were controlled by the power of the eastern plutocrats. Those compatriots in China turned their anger on the Chinese laborers who built the road because of their dissatisfaction. I said this, not to explain anything. A mistake is a mistake. This is beyond doubt, and it is meaningless to make any excuses. But the reason for the mistake, we have to find out .”

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little moved. Could it be that this Mr. Milton is really an American Bethune?

"Actually, the reason why I am willing to come to China is because, on the one hand, I am a fan of Director Cameron, and his promises are still very attractive to me; The compatriots of those Chinese laborers who are here to do something. I originally thought that I could only do some cultural exchanges between the two countries, but I never thought that I would have the opportunity to resume my old business." Milton stretched out his hand to Fang Mingyuan, "I I really hope that I can find an opportunity to give full play to my remaining enthusiasm with Mr. Fang, and it will also fulfill my long-cherished wish."

Fang Mingyuan quickly reached out and held his hand. Although it will take time to prove whether all of Milton's words are credible, as an American, he can say such a thing. Fang Mingyuan was quite moved by what he said. "Mr. Milton, thank you very much for coming to help me and my friends solve this problem, and hope that we can cooperate happily in the future

Milton quickly got down to business. "Mr. Fang, before I came here, I also had some understanding of the railway situation in your country. Although there may be some inaccuracies in the information and the differences in the national conditions of the two countries, we have some deviations in understanding, but I would like to first Tell me some of my thoughts."

"Your country is a socialist country, while China is a capitalist country. The national conditions of the two countries are very different. This will cause great inconvenience to our work. First of all, I have to admit that your country's railway system does not matter. In terms of passenger or freight capacity, the results are quite amazing. I am quite admirable for this, but this does not mean that there is no room for improvement. Personally, if you say expensive If China's railway reform really wants to transform your country's railway system into a self-responsible enterprise, then in terms of the order of railway reform, it should first resolve the separation of government and enterprise, and transform the Ministry of Railways into a purely regulatory agency. Department, unchecked from the railway bureau below.

The next step is to introduce social capital to the following railway bureaus and railway companies, transform them into joint stock companies or limited liability companies jointly invested by multiple subjects, establish a modern enterprise system, and improve the corporate governance structure; finally, the "horizontal demolition" is still "Vertical cutting, network operation and separation." It is only meaningful after the first two steps of reform have been completed. If the connection between the government and enterprises cannot be cut off, and state-owned enterprises cannot be transformed into real market players, there will be no equal transactions And fair play to Milton in all seriousness.

Fang Mingyuan nodded, Milton's point of view was not beyond his expectation. "Mr. Milton, it is my personal act to invite you here this time. For now, the railway department may not have really reformed the property rights system, because that involves fundamental issues. Now, it is planned to Some areas have entered into the convenience reform pilot, so as to carry out step-by-step reforms until the final reform of the property rights system. Therefore, personally, although I agree with your point of view, it cannot actually be done.” Xiao
Milton laughed and said, "Mr. Fang, I am very clear about this. Otherwise, the Ministry of Railways of your country should come forward to invite you. If you say that the issue of ownership of property rights cannot be reformed, in fact, your Ministry of Railways currently wants to To solve the problem of balance of payments and further development. And Mr. Fang seems to be planning to start from this?.

"The national conditions are such that we have to do this." Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. The issue of whether the railway should be state-owned or privately owned has been debated for many years in our country and in many European countries, and in actual operation, there have been many repeated discussions. Dun blinked his eyes and smiled, "Actually, I still have another idea, that is whether the operation of the railway is good or bad, but the property rights system is not the most important thing! "
