The survival and development of private enterprises in China today should thank those who have made contributions and sacrifices for the development of private enterprises. However, it should also be admitted that the "short life" of enterprises is ultimately a problem of the quality of enterprise leaders. People who can achieve great things must have achieved the necessary accomplishment at the level of outlook on life. I'm afraid this is an urgent problem to be solved in the development of private enterprises in China.
After nearly 20 years of struggle, private enterprises in China finally have a foothold, and the situation is still improving. If we sum up the past experience, it is that progress is achieved by games, and games need to pay and work hard. Private enterprises in our country can survive and develop to this day, and we should thank those who have made contributions and sacrifices for the legitimate existence of private enterprises. We should also let those who hinder the development of private enterprises reflect. China's reform has not been completed. I hope that the future reform will encounter less resistance and make less sacrifices.
Today, private enterprises are already very serious. It is no exaggeration to say that without private enterprises, China's economy can't survive for a day. At present, more than half of the products consumed by people all over the country every day are produced by private enterprises. Every year, tens of millions of young people who are ready for employment rely on private enterprises to create employment opportunities; More than half of the foreign exchange earned by export each year depends on private and foreign-funded enterprises. The form of state-owned enterprises has completely changed before the reform. If we look at development, private enterprises will have greater opportunities, and the state's policy towards private enterprises will be further liberalized. As long as the general direction of reform and opening up remains unchanged, this is certain.
The above is from the overall environment, and there are still many problems from the private enterprise's own situation. Throughout the history of private enterprises in China, the average life span is less than 3 years, and it is said that less than 5% of them can survive 10 years. What is the reason? Of course, there is also the problem of living environment. Some private enterprises have been dragged down by unreasonable taxes and government difficulties. But it should also be admitted that private enterprises have their own reasons, even the main reasons. It stands to reason that it is not unusual for most enterprises to close their doors within three years, and it is similar all over the world. Only the proportion in China is very high. This is related to the fact that we have just entered the market economy and are inexperienced. When the enterprise was established, it lacked understanding of the market, did not fully estimate its competitors, and was unclear about its own advantages and disadvantages, thus committing subjectivism. There are also people who have suffered misfortune because of changes in the macro situation.
Now China's market economy is becoming more and more mature. Generally speaking, the experience of starting a business has been very rich, and the problem has gradually shifted to the sustainable development after starting a business. The first three years have passed, the initial difficulties have passed, and we have initially stood firm, but there are still failures in the future. Of course, there are many reasons for failure, and it is difficult to generalize. According to my observation, many enterprises have closed down because of disputes between them. If you don't pay back the money you owe, you won't abide by the contract and the litigation burden is too heavy. It is certainly right to complain about the bad environment, but we should also see that our own environment is also the environment of others, so we should also do self-reflection in this respect. Only when every enterprise strives to improve itself can the whole environment be improved. Just blame others, you don't move, you only hear the noise, you can't see the actual action. The overall environment will never improve.
Unfortunately, many good and successful enterprises have also closed down. One of the reasons is that victory is carried away, investment is blind, capital scheduling is too tight, and there is no retreat. Yes, there is something wrong with the business objectives, not to benefit others, create wealth for society and make money for ourselves, but to pursue personal influence and show off. The lesson is to make the enterprise steady and strong, without seeking fame. Some enterprises fail because they are extremely clever and just want to take advantage of each other without thinking about each other, which leads to tension in all aspects. Not only does it have a tense relationship with related enterprises, but it also fails to cultivate and cherish its own employees. You only have your own eyes. Recently, western countries put forward the concept of corporate social responsibility, which is completely different from the previous goal of enterprise management, and the goal of enterprise management is only to maximize profits. It should take care of the requirements of all stakeholders. Including shareholders, employees, creditors, debtors, consumers, governments, communities and so on. Taking care of the interests of all parties is not to sacrifice your own interests in pursuit of profits, but to be able to put yourself in others' shoes and think about how others will react to their decisions. Now everyone knows how to obey the law and is learning the law. But it is not enough to have laws, but also to have morality. Law is only a rough division of interests, and the specific situation is ever-changing, and different positions and viewpoints will be very different. All parties think they are right, so they will go to court. If everyone could put themselves in others' shoes, many lawsuits that waste manpower and material resources could have been avoided.
It's a pity that some very successful enterprises have made a lot of money, but when the future is boundless thousands of miles away, they broke up because of the disagreement of the leaders and brought down the enterprises. When the enterprise was founded, everyone was like-minded and could bear hardships. To start a business, if the difficulties are not overcome, the enterprise will die, and there is no room for hypocrisy and relaxation. After so many years of hard work, looking back, I have accumulated so much wealth that I can't believe it myself. The problem comes when you sit down to catch your breath and get ready to enjoy the fruits of your labor. These wealth were created by several entrepreneurs, but there are different views on the specific distribution and who gets how much. The reason is not complicated, distribution according to work. But how to measure this rule? No matter how clever economists are and how clever their methods are, there is no calculation theory to distribute the fruits of collective labor in the world. This matter can only be estimated. And the estimate is subjective. Everyone's estimate is different, and the general rule always values his own contribution. This is not surprising, because you know what you do, and what others do is not as clear as you. So the argument is inevitable.
Entrepreneurs are not mediocre. The struggle between them is not a general disagreement, and it is almost impossible to convince them. What was originally just a matter of wealth distribution has gradually become a matter of recognition of individual abilities, and the status and power of individuals in enterprises are becoming more and more complicated. It is inevitable that there will be some small frictions at ordinary times, but now it has developed into differences in principle. The argument has gradually turned into an emotional dispute, and it has done everything it can, regardless of even the most basic morality. At this time, the dispute between leaders spread to the whole enterprise, more employees intervened, and the enterprise went to the stage of collapse. The enterprise with picturesque prospects has been artificially terminated.
Such examples are not uncommon. Why is it that in the end, no one wants to see the ending? In the final analysis, it is still the quality of leaders. People who can achieve great things must have achieved the necessary accomplishment at the level of outlook on life. I'm afraid this is an urgent problem to be solved in the development of private enterprises in China.
