Made in China can serve the world one day
How to build a 'manufacturing powerhouse' and promote the 'quality revolution' triggered a hot debate during the two sessions. Recently, Dong Mingzhu, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Zhuhai Gree Electric Co., Ltd., said in an exclusive interview with the Beijing News that Chinese manufacturing could one day be able to Service worldwide. This foundation is the ability to innovate, all products to meet the needs of consumers.
In addition to the focus on 'Made in China', Dong Mingzhu also proposed the 'upgrade of a tax levy to 10,000 yuan,' and 'preventing in-service teachers from retaking classes outside school'.
Talk Made in China
There is still a big gap in core technology
Beijing News: On the 'representative channel' on March 9th, you said that 'China must become a manufacturing power and must have core technologies'. Before you said many times that you have to master core technologies, how do you understand this problem?
Dong Mingzhu: What is strong? That is, you have someone else, you must be leading. Although changes have taken place in the past five years, most of them are still follow-up, core technical materials, and core application technologies. We still have great Gap or short board.
Made in China in the new era of the future, to meet the needs of consumers, to do fine. To support this fine and high-end products, what to use to make? It must be advanced equipment. Without advanced equipment, you still cling to others. So I Feel, we must master the core technology.
Then, if you want to master the core technology in advance, you must cultivate your own talents. If there is no one, innovation is in the form of development, and development is even less.
Take Gree as an example. From the end of the third quarter of 2012 to the end of 2017, the accumulated revenue was 1.8 times the total of the previous 21 years; cumulative net profit was 3.9 times that of the past 21 years. This change is actually based on technology, including production. From 2012 to the end of the third quarter of 2017, the accumulated tax payment for the country was more than RMB 71.1 billion, which was 3.2 times that of the previous 21 years.
I think this data can show that companies that really have innovation power are, for a country, equivalent to one cell of the human body, it is a healthy cell, not a cancer cell. Every cell is healthy, this country It will be powerful. Therefore, our mission of responsibility is very significant.
Beijing News: At this time last year, you said, 'There will be a blue sky on smart equipment.' So this year's opening speech set a force on smart equipment in the next five years?
Dong Mingzhu: The ability to support high-quality products requires hard-packed equipment. For example, CNC machine tools, all the CNC machine tools we bought at the time were imported from Germany, and only their CNC machines were able to meet the accuracy requirements. This allowed us to think and make A very good consumer product, but relying on other people's equipment does not really create it.
Over the past five years, we have resolved, challenged, and entered the field of smart equipment. Our CNC machine tools may be better than German equipment from a certain point on the line. But overall, there are individual keys. The technology of the parts is not completely in our hands, but we also need to catch up.
I always feel that Chinese manufacturing will one day be able to serve the world. To serve the world, you must have confidence. This is the ability to innovate, all your products to meet the needs of consumers. We feel the deepest is the total The structural reform on the supply side proposed by the secretary can be said to reverse the thinking of the manufacturing industry in the past. From this point of view, it can be said that it is also a subversive revolution in China.
Talk about performance
Businesses go overseas to build factories because of markets rather than taxes
Beijing News: In addition to making endorsements for China, you have another suggestion this year to raise the tax threshold to 10,000 yuan. In the proposals of the past few years, you mentioned taxes more than once. Why did you not forget this topic?
Dong Mingzhu: I think that reducing the gap between the rich and the poor and adjusting the tax burden is also a good idea. Since the 80s have now become the mainstay of society, 90% or more of this level is the working class. His income may be coupled with mortgages. , In addition to children's education, it is already difficult to have extra money.
The rich can, on their own, take a dollar of wages in the company, and even take a penny, but all the expenses can be spent on the company. This is in itself a huge loss of financial revenue. I feel that the increase will be aggravated. At the same time, the income of high-income earners can also increase.
There was an inappropriate voice outside, saying that China’s high taxes have gone overseas. You should use China’s resources to contribute to China. As for the construction of plants in the United States and other countries, it’s because the market Need not to flee China because of tax issues.
We ourselves have 90,000 employees, and we often have social activities and contact with many people. In fact, prices are rising, but their income has not changed much.
Beijing News: Your advice for the past few years has involved many social topics, such as the left-behind children and the employment protection of disabled persons. What are the criteria for paying attention to these social issues? What are you looking at this year?
Dong Mingzhu: We can reflect the social and public opinions of the community at the grass-roots level through the performance of duties and resolve more social issues. This year I have taken the most suggestions. There are almost ten, such as children’s education issues, teacher team building issues, Make a firm decision to ban extracurricular remedial expenses.
Extracurricular remedial charges means that you may not be able to teach well if you are not charged. A lot of people have told me that the class is not taught, and if you want to learn how to make extra-curricular classes, you will need to collect money. In this way, you will disguise Turning education into a commodity. I think that the influence that education has given this generation of childhood has actually led them to a misunderstanding.
Beijing News: What have you been impressed by so many years in your performance experience?
Dong Mingzhu: The current trend is getting better and better, especially this year's request for the meeting, so that more representatives can calm down and fulfill their mission. In the past five years, we have seen more reports of work and applause. Work reports have been made. Very beautiful, there are many reasons for support. For example, during the five years of anti-corruption and clean government building, a “pro-” and “clear” political and business relationship was formed. During this process, it becomes a service relationship with the government. This is a great deal. Variety.
Talk about billions of bets
The end of the billion gamble office is clear. One penny is also the difference.
Beijing News: During the two delegates' channel this year, you and Lei Jun are on the same floor as Chinese manufacturers. You talked about the 'black light factory' and its core technology. Lei Jun said that 'developing manufacturing industry depends first on innovation, quality, and on the 'Internet+' Is this an unexpected problem?
Dong Mingzhu: I believe Lei Jun will also think that quality is the first, but I think we must do more. Over the years, many people like to light assets, and I choose to re-asset. Because there is no heavy assets, light assets are sure It is to let individual people get rich and let more people hurt. Therefore, it is very important how the two are combined perfectly.
Beijing News: Behind this same box, someone took out a 'gambling game' between you and Lei Jun in 2013. Within five years, Xiaomi’s turnover will exceed one billion Yuan over Gree, and vice versa. Five years are coming, you still remember this Is it agreed?
Dong Mingzhu: By December 2018, we have been able to find out. In only five years, how can we not remember?
Beijing News: Do you still have confidence now? Lei Jun seems to be in hot pursuit.
Dong Mingzhu: Hot pursuit, a penny, is also the gap.
Beijing News: Recently, it was discussed that the board of directors of Gree Electric was about to change its term. Do you have any confidence in re-election?
Dong Mingzhu: There is no relationship between re-election and non-reappointment. I think that this enterprise can not survive and develop continuously. This is something we must consider.
Beijing News: There are many people who like you online. Why do you think people like you?
Dong Mingzhu: I tell the truth. When we look at this society, we sometimes see many bad phenomena. These bad phenomena often affect the whole society. But you have to believe that most of us are actually good people.
