Beiyang reactionaries

"Prime Minister, telegram from Beijing."

After inspecting Qiqihar, Duan Xun inspected Daqing, China's oil base.Within a few years of the discovery of oil here, a whole new city appeared here.Moreover, Daqing is developing very fast. After all, the oil industry is currently making money.Then I took the train back to Beijing from Daqing, and received a telegram from Beijing on the train.

Duan Xun put down the telegram in his hand, handed it to Liang Huankui who was next to him, and said, "I don't know if it is correct to relax private capital's entry into the power industry. Looking at it now, the influx of private capital into the power industry in a short period of time is crucial to promoting The development of my country's electric power industry has greatly promoted the development. However, these private capitals enter the electric power industry to make money and profit. So once they control the power plants in certain cities, they will inevitably adopt high electricity prices for profit .This will inhibit the development of local industry, and also inhibit the development of local commerce, which will bring more costs to industry and commerce."

People are poor and have endless aspirations.

It sounds nice, but in fact, most of the time, people who are poor are poor.The same is true of the current government.The Second Five-Year Plan invested so much that the cabinet had no money left.

Now that the industry is developing rapidly, it is necessary to vigorously develop the power industry, but the cabinet has no money in hand, so it has no confidence to speak.In order not to delay industrial development and the smooth progress of the Second Five-Year Plan, the electric power industry must be developed.Therefore, the cabinet can only make concessions.

Originally, it was stipulated that private capital could not enter power plant projects with an installed capacity of more than 1000 kilowatts, but this time, all such restrictions were abolished.The country's electric power industry allows the entry of private capital, and even allows private capital to independently build large-scale power plants with an installed capacity of 30 kilowatts.As for large-scale power plants with an installed capacity of more than [-] kilowatts, the government or government-controlled enterprises must occupy more than [-]% of the total. Private capital is not allowed to build power plants with an installed capacity of more than [-] kilowatts.

In fact, after all, the power industry is really completely liberalized.Private capital can freely enter the electric power industry.Even censorship standards are ready to be devolved.

The power to approve projects for power plants with an installed capacity of less than [-] kilowatts has been delegated to the provincial governments.Such projects do not need to be reported to the Ministry of Electric Power, or the Economic and Development Commission, and the provincial government can directly agree.

As for power plant projects with an installed capacity of more than 5000 kilowatts, they still need to be approved by the Development Committee.But that's already a lot of decentralization.Because a power plant with an installed capacity of [-] kilowatts is already a large power plant in China.Such a power plant can generate more than [-] million kWh a year.

"Prime Minister, it's just a temporary expedient measure."

Liang Huankui looked at the telegram and said to Duan Xun: "Although it will attract a large amount of private capital to enter the power industry, it is still much less than the government's investment, and the proportion will not be very large. In the power industry, it is still the government's investment." dominant situation."

China's system, economic model, government and individual strength are not at the same level at all.Starting from the central government and local governments, the country's annual investment in the power industry adds up to more than one billion yuan.

And with the development of the economy, the government will have ample money, and the scale of investment will continue to increase.Compared with how much private capital can enter.

That is to say, the cabinet has no extra funds now, so it is just a matter of borrowing private capital.At present, China's economy is mainly driven by investment, and among the national fixed asset investment, government investment accounts for 90% of the national investment.

"That would be the best."

Duan Xun nodded.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The Economic and Development Commission must accurately calculate the situation of the national power industry. Even if private capital is introduced, the overall control must be in the hands of the government. Only in this way can the government adjust the electricity price according to the actual situation. Absolutely cannot allow those local power plants to set electricity prices arbitrarily according to their own ideas."

"Yes."

"Immediately send a telegram to Beijing, saying that Premier Liang and I agree with the Economic and Development Commission's opinion. Let them send documents to the provinces as soon as possible, so that the provinces can mobilize private capital to develop the power industry."

"Yes."

After Duan Xun and Liang Huankui agreed, the telegram was quickly transmitted to Beijing. On June 1932, 6, the Economic and Development Commission officially issued a policy document on the electric power industry.

The biggest change is the restrictions on the entry of private capital into the power industry.The original restrictions have basically been lifted.The moment this document was issued, it caused a great sensation.

why.

Because in China now, power plants are all making money.Unless it is a power plant in some small counties, it is just to provide some residents with electricity for the public, and it does not make much money.Other urban power plants are very profitable.

At present, there is no unified standard for electricity prices of power plants in various places.Some cities have high demand for electricity, but if the power generation cannot keep up, then the local electricity price will be relatively high.In some places, there is enough power generation, so the electricity price will be slightly lower.

But whether it is high electricity prices or low electricity prices, power plants are profitable industries.Even power plants can be said to be a profiteering industry with high profits.

Just like when the railway first appeared.

The railway lines between major cities in the late Qing Dynasty were all very profitable and profitable.So at that time, China's private capital tried every means to enter the railway industry, and also to divide the railway cake.

This is the case when many new things appear.

Not only the railways, but the use of coal in China increased greatly in the late Qing Dynasty, so the profits of coal mining were also huge profits.Therefore, a large number of warlords, politicians, and businessmen cooperated in mining coal at that time, and profits were rolling in.

This is the case with power plants today.

Because China's power generation is not enough, but the demand for electricity is increasing rapidly.Therefore, power plants are extremely scarce, and China's power generation capacity is currently in short supply.

Power plants are businesses that make money.

It's just that the Ministry of Electric Power has always restricted private capital from entering the power industry, so private capital is just greedy.But this time, the Economic and Development Commission canceled many original restrictions, which greatly increased the enthusiasm of private investment in the power industry.

Three days later, Duan Xun returned to Beijing.

In just three days, there were more than 20 power plant projects approved by local and provincial governments, and six projects with an installed capacity of more than [-] kilowatts reported to the Economic and Development Commission for approval.Many of these projects were approved by the local government a long time ago, but they were not able to start because of lack of money.Now private capital is allowed to pour in, so many projects restart immediately.

There is Fengtian project in it.

One is the expansion project of Fushun Power Plant, which plans to expand Fushun Power Plant into a large-scale power plant with an installed capacity of 23 kilowatts.One is to build the Shenyang thermal power plant in Shenyang, with an installed capacity of 17 kilowatts.

The Economic and Development Commission does not approve all projects at will.

Because they are afraid that some projects will have nothing, they rely on the approval of the Economic and Development Commission to fool others.So it needs to be checked, and they will be approved only after checking that they really have such capabilities.

The power plant project reported by Fengtian has a detailed plan.

Fengtian Provincial Government invested 2000 million, Fushun Power Plant invested 300 million, Fushun Coal Mine 600 million, Benxi Coal Mine 400 million, Benxi Iron and Steel Works (U.S. Steel) 400 million, Anshan Iron and Steel Plant No. 600 and No. 300 together 4000 million, and Shenyang, Benxi, Fushun, and Anshan municipal governments jointly contributed [-] million.Then use [-] million private capital, and have even listed a large number of investors.

Anyway, Dan Maoxin's meaning is very simple.

No matter what method is used, the power plant will be built first.This power plant is not only active in Fengtian Province, but also in the cities of Shenyang, Anshan, Benxi, and Fushun.

After this policy came down, the country instantly entered the climax of building power plants.

"what do you think?"

"how do you feel?"

"Prime Minister, it's not impossible. But if the technicians are really surrendered on a large scale, it will affect the production of the arsenal. The army is the army, and the people are the people. Is it not good to be so confused."

After Duan Xun came back, he immediately looked for Han Linchun.

After inspecting the situation in the Northeast Industrial Zone, Duan Xun had a deep understanding of the shortage of technical personnel in the Second Five-Year Plan.At present, many factories have settled in the northeast region.

Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Shenyang Agricultural Machinery No. [-] Factory, Shenyang Agricultural Machinery No. [-] Factory, Shenyang Automobile Factory, Shenyang Machine Tool Factory, Shenyang Cement Factory, Shenyang Cable Factory, and Harbin North Chemical (urea factory) and Harbin Ammonium Sulphate Factory.

Below these key projects, there are a bunch of small projects.

What tire factory, bearing factory and so on.

During the Second Five-Year Plan in the entire northeast region, there were more than 200 factories invested and built by the government alone.However, these factories exist, but the output cannot increase.Because of the serious shortage of technical personnel in these factories.The American technicians who came to guide them are not Nezha with three heads and six arms.These big factories are all big factories that need tens of thousands of workers, and hundreds of thousands of technical personnel.

But where are so many.

Skilled workers can be cultivated slowly in production, but the cultivation of technical personnel is not so easy.There are some problems in production that need to be resolved as soon as possible.But because of the lack of technicians, the situation will be difficult and the repair time will be prolonged.Most of the workers in those big factories can read and write well, and they are not considered skilled workers at all.After many workers enter the factory, they still need to be educated.

Too many questions.

Therefore, Duan Xun has been thinking along the way, how to alleviate the current situation.Liang Huankui's suggestion is good. At present, military industrial units have the most talents, and military industrial units can be considered to support these factories established in the Second Five-Year Plan.Therefore, after returning to Beijing, he would find Han Linchun to discuss cooperation with him.

Of course Duan Xun understood Han Linchun's concerns.
