Power struggle: Qiao Yuan's appearance and his spirit are in harmony.

Ji Keliang, the boss of Maotai Troika, has already passed the retirement age. "Joe and Yuan, who are regarded as successors, have been at odds, and now they finally have the result. There is a saying that' the dragon can't fight the local snake'. " An official of the Maotai Town Government commented.

It is understood that 58-year-old Yuan Renguo is a local. He rose step by step from the grass-roots level of the winery and has a wide popularity within Maotai. Many of his relatives and friends are Maotai people, and some hold important positions. Qiao Hongzu, a 54-year-old Shanxi native, entered the factory the latest among the three tall buildings. A retired cadre told reporters: "When he first came here seven years ago, he was not accepted by Maotai people. However, with the improvement of Qiao Hong's sales performance year by year, his position has gradually stabilized. "

However, the Propaganda Department of Maotai Group said, "The leadership of Kweichow Moutai is decided by the provincial party committee, and there is no such thing as a successor."

Regulatory loopholes: "stealing wine" has become an open secret.

There is a saying in Maotai Town that "you are not rich if you don't steal". "Stealing wine is no secret," a worker said bluntly. Almost every year, people who have been fired or sentenced for stealing wine in Maotai Factory. "Workers steal, squad leaders steal, winemakers steal, and even some middle-level or security guards in the factory steal." The insider said that the Moutai factory later strengthened supervision and the phenomenon of stealing wine was curbed. The entrance and exit gates of Maotai Factory are heavily guarded, and people and vehicles entering and leaving the factory must undergo strict inspection. Some workshops have also installed monitors, but the phenomenon of stealing wine still exists, but the means have become more subtle.

"After wringing out the cotton coat, you can squeeze out a few kilograms of Moutai." According to an insider, stealing wine began with plastic bottles or barrels, and later with teacups or even cotton-padded clothes soaked in wine. In order to pass the customs, some wine thieves reached a tacit understanding with the person in charge of supervision and gave them the spoils after stealing wine.

Lao Li is the owner of the hotel in town. He said frankly: "I often buy Moutai from them (referring to wine thieves), ranging from tens of kilograms to hundreds of kilograms, and the price is cheaper." Lao Li said that many people in the town specialize in this business.

Minister Li of the Propaganda Department of Maotai Group Company told the reporter that the phenomenon of stealing wine does exist, but it is only an individual phenomenon, not as serious as they said. The factory has taken many powerful measures to prevent and crack down on alcohol theft.

Recruitment confusion: some people sell places at high prices.

Maotai Distillery has good benefits and good treatment, and countless people try their best to enter the factory. The average worker's salary can reach 2000 yuan, and it can reach 3000 yuan after five years' work. An intermediate worker has an annual salary of more than 654.38+10,000 yuan, and all kinds of insurance are available, while a government civil servant who has worked locally for 10 years has an annual salary of only 20,000 yuan. Therefore, it is worthwhile for local residents in Maotai Town to spend money to work in Maotai Factory.

According to an insider, because the factory will give some employees with long service life or some middle-level workers a job every year, after arranging relatives and friends, they will sell the surplus. "The price ranges from 1000 to 40,000 yuan. The factory even operates behind the scenes, and some vacancies are used to sell money."

Regarding the sale of seats, Minister Li of Maotai Propaganda Department said that he also heard such a statement. "We have not found such a phenomenon so far, and I believe it is impossible."

Aftershock: The tip of the iceberg of the Qiao Hong incident?

Although the government explained that Qiao Hong was "double-detained", he took bribes when organizing dealers to travel to South Korea. However, a well-informed person analyzed that "bribery is only the tip of the iceberg, and the' Qiao Hong incident' may involve more people."

It is reported that the distribution right of one ton of Moutai can make a profit of 1.5 million to 200,000 yuan. Although it remains to be verified whether Qiao Hong's "falling horse" is related to wine hoarding, it is no secret that in Maotai, the relationship is directly related to how much wine can be sold. Recently, the luxury residence built by a high-rise in Maotai in a prime location in the town is quite controversial. Yesterday afternoon, an on-site construction worker told reporters that it is said that the owner is Tan, who is in charge of infrastructure construction in Maotai Distillery. "This building may cost millions of yuan." How many such luxury houses can the top of Maotai build every year? This is really thought-provoking.

Self-examination/introspection

What is the failure of scenery wine industry?

On June 5438+ 10, 2007, Kweichow Moutai broke through 100 yuan, becoming the first 100-yuan stock in the A-share market in five years. Known as "the first share in China", it is trusted by investors. However, the Qiao Hong incident and the problems it caused have caused many investors to worry: How can there be such a huge contrast between Maotai's activity in the capital market and the confusion of management? "Why is there such a feeling that there is nothing but gold and jade?" ?

In fact, the Maotai phenomenon is only a microcosm of the liquor industry. The liquor industry has developed rapidly in recent years. According to statistics, in 2006, the profit of beverage and wine of enterprises above designated size reached18.003 billion yuan, among which the profit of liquor was the highest, reaching10.0002 billion yuan. However, this series of huge figures failed to cover up the problems of many enterprises. A number of mainstream enterprises, such as Shuanglun, Baofeng and Gu Jing, have had accidents one after another. This Maotai storm has really brought a lot of shock to the industry, and it has also triggered the whole business community to reflect on the potential crux behind it.

Question 1: When will the government "provide for the aged"?

A reporter from Guizhou Branch of Xinhua News Agency said: "Maotai is equivalent to the panda in China liquor industry, and it is also a treasure of Guizhou Province. Who will let it be destroyed in their own hands? " Therefore, when it was widely rumored that Qiao Hong was "double-regulated", the news from the government changed three times a day; This year, when the domestic stock market was all red, Maotai was suspended, and the local government ordered Qiao Hong, who had an accident, to be transferred from Maotai.

However, the performance of the market did not understand the government's painstaking efforts. Afterwards, Maotai's share price once fell. In the meantime, it is not only the personal wealth of investors who blindly invest in various rumors, but also people's confidence in the transparency and openness of listed companies' information.

Question 2: Is the lack of supervision spoiled?

"Because the government and leaders attach great importance to it, Maotai is like a spoiled child, lacking internal and external supervision." Informed sources said.

It has been pointed out that in state-owned listed companies, except for a few independent directors and external directors, almost all members of the board of directors and the board of supervisors are managers of the original state-owned enterprises and become representatives of state-owned shares and state-owned legal person shares, which shows that the internal subject of corporate governance structure in China is unreasonable. After consulting the senior management information of Kweichow Moutai Company, the reporter found that most of its directors are the current middle and senior managers of Maotai Distillery. Apart from independent directors, only He Yan (general manager of Guizhou Textile State-owned Company) is an "outsider".

On May 24th, the reporter called the Light Industry Department of Guizhou Economic Commission. A related person in the department said: "Although it is the competent department of the industry, Maotai Distillery is a big enterprise and never comes to meetings."

Like Maotai, the major liquor production enterprises are basically old state-owned enterprises, and most of them are undergoing or have completed restructuring and integration, but many problems and disputes in this process have not stopped. The most fundamental reason for the frequent occurrence of a series of senior management incidents is the lack of strict institutional constraints and supervision, which leads to abuse of power and corruption.

In China, most liquor enterprises are still the main source of funds. At the local level, as long as the enterprise can become bigger and stronger, local leaders are satisfied and basically turn a blind eye to other behaviors of the person in charge of the enterprise. At this time, corruption will take advantage of it.

Why did the wine kings fall one after another?

□ Fu Guangyun

Recently, the liquor industry in China is very busy-one liquor enterprise after another has "had an accident". First, Wang Xiaojin, chairman of Anhui Gu Jing Group, was taken away by the discipline inspection department for investigation. At the same time, more than 20 senior executives of the Group and its subsidiaries were also investigated by the discipline inspection department or asked to assist in the investigation. This is undoubtedly like a strong earthquake for Gu Jing Group, which has just made some progress in restructuring, and its restructuring prospect has been cast a thick shadow. Just after the "Wang Xiaojin incident", Kweichow Moutai came to join in the fun again-the news of the accident of general manager Qiao Hong changed three times a day. At present, the "Qiao Hong incident" is like looking at flowers in the fog; Although Wang Xiaojin's case was widely reported by the media, the official has not yet reached a conclusion. According to the reporter's current understanding, Wang Xiaojin's case is likely to be suspected of colluding with dealers to embezzle Gu Jing's assets. Its general interest chain is: sell high-priced wine to dealers at a low price, and then dealers sell it at a slightly higher price. The difference is divided between Wang Xiaojin and the dealer.

Qiao Hong's case is very strange. It is said that it was because someone reported that Joe was "double-regulated". One of the reasons is related to Yuan Renguo's contention for the position of chairman of Maotai Group, and the other reason is to collect kickbacks from dealers. Either way, you can't get rid of the old story of "power infighting"

All along, this kind of trick of "clearing the road, hiding the darkness" and "putting state-owned assets into the management's own pockets" is not uncommon. Why the liquor industry broke out during this period, especially liquor quality brand enterprises, is really thought-provoking. In the official language, these people are "capable". Wang Xiaojin single-handedly made Gujinggong bigger and stronger, while Qiao Hong and Yuan Renguo made extraordinary contributions to the re-emergence of Maotai in recent years. But when faced with the distribution of interests and power, they can't stand the test.

The loss of state-owned assets has always been a headache for management. The call of "don't let state-owned assets melt like popsicles" has been going on for many years, but there is no fundamental solution so far. Is there a real shortage of doctors and medicines, or is there something wrong with our treatment plan? When executives introduce foreign capital for their own interests, whether it is disguised MBO or "technology for market", is it a moral anomie or a loophole in the system? Is it unclear property rights or weak incentives?

Under the market economy, it is really unrealistic to ask enterprise executives to restrain themselves from the perspective of moral self-discipline.

When many state-owned enterprise executives "capsize", we should not only call for further supervision, but also think deeply, or find a fundamental solution from the perspective of system.
