One, personal treatment
In terms of treatment, of course, is the best foreign enterprises. Year I was in Guangxi on the treatment of an annual salary of about 12,000, and later in Hubei, an electric power engineering, if not traveling in the headquarters, annual salary of about 18,000, but the welfare is relatively high, the annual pension insurance, provident fund, the personal account of the dollar or so. If in the site, about double (~ yuan / month).
The current treatment in foreign companies is about 8-10 million per year. There is also pension and provident fund etc., commercial insurance and co-ordinated medical insurance. Overtime pay is three times the usual. The "four insurance and one pension" is about three times the average in Wuhan.
I was paid monthly when I was at Chutian Laser, and after the trial period.
State-owned enterprises only officials can travel by plane to sleep in a soft sleeper, private enterprises as long as the boss agrees to take the plane to sleep in a soft sleeper, foreign enterprises everyone can take the plane to sleep in a soft sleeper. The state-owned enterprises when the official can be divided into a large son, the average person divided into small children, young people have no son. Private enterprises and foreign enterprises have no son, but Chutian laser leadership and part of the backbone elements. State-owned enterprises in the festive year-end points of fruit and oil (procurement of these things less people have to fish kickbacks), foreign enterprises rarely points, but there is a year-end award (1-2 million).
Second, the intensity of the work
The most tired is the private enterprises, the most relaxed is the state-owned enterprises. I have held technical positions (technician, project specialist), secretary to the general manager and management positions in state-owned enterprises (by the way, I am specialized in machinery). However, technical positions in SOEs are very tiring, the income is also the lowest, and you have to take a lot of responsibility, so there is a lot of pressure. But management positions are very easy. Working in a private company doing technical is the most tiring and uncomfortable, and very stressful.
Working for a foreign company is not as tiring as I thought. I'm not sure if I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, and I'm a good person. The nature of my work requires me to travel a lot, and I usually work for days a year. The rest of the time, you can almost always take a vacation. The difference between foreign companies is that each person's position is given a relatively large amount of power, the degree is very large. For example, I am doing after-sales service, a person in the field to contribute to all things related to the equipment, including acceptance, equipment handling, on-site hiring, equipment commissioning and so on. Involved in funding issues generally can make their own decisions, as long as the report can be. This is different from most state-owned enterprises. It's hard to deal with state-owned enterprises when it comes to funding.
Three, employee relations
State-owned enterprises have the most complex relations between employees. I entered the power engineering is recruited into, but most people in the power system is to rely on the relationship into, or internal children, so the recruitment into the people tend to do practical things, but if there is no relationship or they are not very good at dealing with interpersonal relations, then the chance of promotion is very little. State-owned enterprises are busy busy dead, play play dead, when you first enter almost everything to do, very tired. Later, you can tell the people who come in after you to do it, and play by yourself, which is called taking an apprentice. But the state-owned enterprises have a benefit, you again bad, and then no talent, no one dares to fire you. Sometimes for molecules in general workers can break the leader's head.
Private enterprises and foreign enterprises staff relations are very simple, not so many hooks and corners, but foreign enterprises staff relations are better, more simple. Every year, they organize family trips and gatherings between employees. When it comes to difficult things, we all help each other, unlike private enterprises, which manage their own business and don't care about others. Both private and foreign companies don't know how much their coworkers earn in a month, at least not in detail.
Fourth, labor unions and workers' rights
The labor unions of state-owned enterprises are the most powerful, with a labor union chairman, office director, women's labor minister, accountant, recreation minister and so on, but all of them are the main ones who only take money but not do real work, and all of them are related to get to that position. It is impossible for such a union to defend the interests of the workers, and there is never any negotiation with the leaders for higher wages for the workers.
Most private companies don't have unions. The foreign company I work for has a union, but no full-time staff, and unionization is currently limited to one trip abroad per year. It's hard to fire an employee at a SOE because you have to go through the union to fire an employee, and more importantly SOE leaders are afraid of getting into trouble. It is common for private companies to fire employees and for employees to fire private companies. Generally European foreign enterprises will not just fire employees, we have not yet appeared to be fired employees, leaving the majority of employees are three ways to go: abroad, open, to a better foreign enterprises. Individuals fired will generally be notified in advance to the individual, let him find a new unit, find and then leave.
Fifth, training
The most complete training system of foreign companies, but foreign companies generally will not hire a completely inexperienced graduates. For fresh graduates, state-owned enterprises are the best training bases. It is generally difficult for students with no work experience to get into a foreign company.
Don't expect to be sent to the state-owned enterprises for training, it is very difficult to give you, that kind of target will only be left to the officials and relations. State-owned enterprises can give you the best training is: do things. For example, a new product or a new project, this kind of thing in the state-owned enterprises, few people are willing to do, you boldly take the state-owned since the assets to practice, there is no relationship. Because whether in private enterprises or foreign enterprises, you will not have such a good opportunity for you to try the bull's-eye.
Private enterprises have little training.
The training in foreign companies is more systematic, even if you are already familiar with something, you may still have to undergo training every year. This training is usually done internally or abroad within the group, rather than sitting in a classroom and listening to lectures.
Sixth, management
The favorite saying of state-owned enterprises is "management is effective". This sentence is not wrong, but the state-owned enterprises, but misunderstood the meaning of this sentence. The real meaning of this phrase is "managed enterprises out of the benefits", rather than "good management of workers out of the benefits". As a matter of fact, most of China's state-owned enterprises are no longer capable of competing with foreign enterprises, and the profits of monopolistic enterprises come from policy support, while the profits of competitive enterprises have been getting lower and lower. Since the material shows that the annual loss of state-owned enterprises hit the second highest in history. State-owned enterprises are increasingly moving towards the end of the industrial chain.
There are currently two types of foreign enterprises set up in China, one is an export processing plant set up to take advantage of China's cheap labor, and the other is an enterprise set up to value the Chinese field, with most of the latter focusing only on and services. In this way, foreign companies in China to recruit not many employees, but the profits can be substantial. Such as I know of Philips Limited, employees about people, output value of about 1 billion, where I am, employees about people, output value of 230 million U.S. dollars. As for profits, much higher than the domestic industry. (Here there is a foreign enterprises through the import of foreign parts of the Group in order to raise the cost of the problem here will not go into detail, if the deductions of maliciously raise the cost of the factors, foreign enterprises will be more profitable).
In my opinion, the quality of workers in state-owned enterprises is still very high, and the quality of technicians is not bad, but the difference is in the management. Say a funny thing, I was in the power also passed the ISO quality system certification, and this set of documents is even quality management engineer a person to write out, that person even technicians have not been, because it is a woman, can not run the project, sit in the office to take an internal auditor certificate. Such an important thing is so closed door out of the car. Such a document is bound to be only the format is not the content of the waste paper. Such ISO system certification, do not recognize it. Good things are spoiled by the state-owned enterprises.
My foreign companies such documents are generally drafted by the department manager, the drafter must be clear management, technology and other related aspects of each of its comprehensive quality to reach a considerable height. The general staff of foreign enterprises usually only know the system documents of the department. In fact, as long as you know this is enough, the interface with other departments will be described in the document. In this way, a division, an after-sales service department, can become a complete ISO quality system, and can be through the operation of the system to continuously improve the management of loopholes.
Private enterprises give me a feeling like a city contractor earth contractor, they lack of money but policy, but I believe that some of them will become rich or even become a pillar of national industry. State-owned enterprises and private enterprises are in the WTO, ISO, but I think they have ignored some of the most basic laws of management. For example, decentralization. I was in the state-owned enterprises have been implemented until now financial a pen. People's unit ah, really hard on the leadership, every day to sign countless words. An enterprise that will not decentralize the manager tired to death will not do much. Private enterprises have the same problem. Refuse to decentralize, is bound to affect the efficiency of the enterprise and staff motivation. I am in the foreign enterprises, almost every employee has a different degree of signing rights, such as my signature can be on-site purchase of small parts, department manager can agree to sign my borrowing reserve, general manager can agree to sign the department activity funds and so on.
Seven, front desk
State-owned enterprises do not have a front desk, only the security guard at the gate, not to ask you "Can I help you?", but to ask: "What do you do?"
Private enterprises have a receptionist, the appearance is good, if you do not speak, is really a beautiful woman. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. There is always sitting behind the counter to play solitaire.
Foreign companies also have a receptionist. I'm not sure if you're a good person, but I'm a good person. But at the same time part of the translation, nothing when it is translated information. The first thing you need to do is to ask "Can I help you?" when you have a foreigner, otherwise it's "Hello". The quality of the front desk of the foreign enterprise is good, but I think the kind of foreign energy is a bit disgusting.
Eight, the boss
State-owned enterprises work for ten years, the boss changed five, an average of two years. The first is a welder born, I heard that the young sat in jail (I heard it was a hooliganism), I think this is someone else's blind, party members should not do such a thing. The second reigned for three years, less than a year in Wuhan, I heard that most of the time in running for office, and then really went. The third one I heard made a mistake, the fourth one also was running for office and left.
The boss of the foreign enterprise I have not seen so far, I heard that it is a British Chinese, but will not speak Chinese. However, the supervisor and the department manager often deal with each other. The leader is a foreigner, and the department manager is a Chinese. They are all good, treating like a family, in fact, everyone is a part-time worker.
The owner of the private enterprise is Sun Wen, a famous private entrepreneur in Wuhan, who is very smart, so don't be fooled by his naive appearance at the first meeting. But it still feels a bit petty. Especially to the staff of the price is too low, like to hire retired engineers and a bit of a problem (such as disability) employees, I think not because he has a good heart, mainly because of the price of such a person is not high. But this can also be seen in the private sector to grow difficult, not only lack of money, but also lack of core technology, lack of talent, lack of policy.
Nine, business performance
I was in the state-owned enterprises, the family of people on the job, retired people, the best years of output value is 600 million, profits declined year by year, I left the time of the profit million. I was in Chutian laser when the number of people around, output value of 100 million, profit is not clear. Currently in the number of people in foreign enterprises, annual output value of 2 billion, profit of 100 million (due to foreign enterprises like to transfer profits, this figure is not only no water, the actual may be much more than this).
I personally feel that the gap between state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises is - "quite" big (celebrity Baiyun quotes), the most fundamental reason lies in the development of business ideas. People 2 billion output value by their own production is very difficult to do out, can only rely on the management, "management-oriented enterprises in order to produce benefits. In dealing with the "Wu ship", "Wu pot" and other state-owned enterprises, I feel more and more, we once brilliant state-owned enterprises, if you do not change the development of ideas, will only have to work for others. The field of high-end in the brand, in technology, not in the production, if China has become the world's factory, but not their own brand, technology, the end result can only be low wages, low efficiency.
Our national policy on foreign enterprises too, to has far exceeded the "national treatment", so continue, our national industry is very dangerous. The hope of our country's national industry is not in the power of these state-owned enterprises, not in the so-called state-owned brands such as Haier, but in the private sector, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang around the private model ("puppy economy"), has a very strong field of competitiveness, and has made a lot of foreign companies feel threatened.
I don't know if Prof. Lang Xianping really understands China's state-owned enterprises and the state-owned economy, and I hope that his old man will have time to understand what the real state-owned enterprises are like, and then come back to talk about whether the state-owned enterprises should be privatized.
