How can central enterprises shift from "quantity" growth to "quality" breakthrough

  Tan Haojun

  The meeting of heads of central enterprises was held in Beijing from the 24th to the 25th. The meeting initially disclosed the development report card of central enterprises this year and the "13th Five-Year Plan".

Statistics show that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, central enterprises have made steady progress and continued growth in "quantity", and their economic benefits have risen from the trough and steadily improved.

It is estimated that by the end of this year, the total assets of central enterprises will be close to 69 trillion yuan, an increase of 45% from the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, operating income, net profit, and labor productivity will grow at an average annual rate of 5.6% and 8.9% respectively. , 7.8%.

  It is obviously unfair and unrealistic to say that central SOEs only have changes in "quantity" and no improvement in "quality".

Over the years, especially since the "13th Five-Year Plan", state-owned enterprises have made new improvements and new developments in many aspects. Among them, aerospace and aerospace are the most typical and worthy of the pride and pride of the Chinese.

In addition, high-speed railways and nuclear power technology are also at the world's leading level.

However, these achievements obviously still have some gaps and deficiencies in comparison with the status, identity, resources, and public expectations of central enterprises.

  In recent years, the international environment has undergone great changes. Trade protectionism and unilateralism have proliferated, and various containment methods against China have also been increasing. In particular, Chinese high-tech companies such as Huawei have been confronted by some Western countries led by the United States. The powerful blockade against China's high-tech enterprises is precisely this blockade against China's high-tech companies, which exposed the gaps in certain fields and links in my country, and exposed problems in the industrial chain and supply chain.

How can these problems no longer become obstacles to the development of our country’s economy and enterprises, and how can we make our country’s self-repairing capabilities in the supply chain and industrial chain stronger? There is no doubt that the central enterprises should assume greater responsibilities, and should become the overcoming This kind of hard and dangerous vanguard.

  Objectively speaking, central SOEs already possess a lot of high-tech, considerable talents, and various other resources. As long as they have professional investment, dedicated research, and special management, they can make obvious breakthroughs.

Imagine that with such cutting-edge aerospace technology, we can make breakthroughs one by one, and of course we are better in other areas.

It's just that in recent years, some central enterprises have paid too much attention to the growth of "quantity" and the growth of "efficiency" that accompany the growth of "quantity" in their development strategies, while ignoring the corresponding improvement of "quality", especially the breakthrough of "quality".

Therefore, the relationship between “quantity” and “quality” of central enterprises is not very coordinated. The breakthrough of “quality” is obviously slower than the growth of “quantity”.

Even in a special situation such as the epidemic, the recovery effect of "quantity" is very obvious, while the breakthrough of "quality" is still in the observation stage.

  It is precisely because of this that the SASAC has repeatedly emphasized that central SOEs must work hard on “quality”, continuously improve their competitiveness, innovation, control, influence, and anti-risk capabilities, and must improve their international competitiveness and Set an example in brand influence.

This also means that the supervisory authority has also seen that there is still a certain gap in the "quality" breakthrough of central enterprises, and is actively seeking countermeasures and measures to improve the competitiveness and innovation of central enterprises.

  What needs to be faced correctly is that the higher requirements and conditions for central enterprises are not that the central enterprises are not doing a good job, but that they hope that they can do better, and that they can make improvements in "compensating shortcomings" and "expanding advantages". By setting an example, it will lead other companies to improve their competitiveness, innovation and influence.

For example, chip R&D, design and manufacturing is one of the problems that central enterprises must face and solve.

In this regard, we cannot rely solely on private enterprises, but must play the role of central enterprises and other state-owned enterprises, especially the role of talents and technology.

  Regarding the improvement of the industrial chain and supply chain, central enterprises must not only focus on making themselves bigger and stronger, but must also take into account the improvement and supplementation of the industrial chain and supply chain, and promote the development of upstream and downstream enterprises.

More directly, the central SOEs cannot become a huge "island", but must become a waterway connecting the coast.

State-owned enterprises cannot completely rely on their own strength to build the entire industry chain and supply chain, but they can play the role of other ownership enterprises to complete the industry chain and supply chain.

In terms of the entire industrial chain and supply chain, central enterprises can participate directly or indirectly, with capital investment, talent and technical support, demand to stimulate the participation of other ownership enterprises, or supply to attract other ownership Enterprise participation, as long as the industrial chain and supply chain can be lengthened and completed, they can give full play to the role of central enterprises.

  The central government should strengthen military-civilian integration and central-local alliance. In the final analysis, it is to give play to the role of central enterprises in technology, talent, management, and cohesion, so as to better mobilize social resources and jointly promote high-quality economic development.

Naturally, it is necessary for central enterprises to make greater breakthroughs in "quality", make more contributions and roles in helping other ownership enterprises to improve quality, and play a leading role in building high-quality industrial chains and supply chains.

Only in this way, the status and influence of central enterprises will be higher, the stabilizer and core role of the national economy will be stronger, and the status of the pillar of the national economy will be stronger.
