The official announcement of the salaries of the top managers of 96 central enterprises is really a big surprise! At least two of them are incredible, and at least one of them will shock you.
Recently, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) officially disclosed the salaries and salaries of senior managers of 96 central enterprises under its management. These 96 central enterprises include the well-known PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC and other three barrels of oil, as well as China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom and other three major operators, as well as the State Grid, China Southern Power Grid and other monopoly power enterprises. Based on the official salary announcement, I found at least two incredible phenomena.
First, the salary of the top leaders of 96 central enterprises does not exceed 1 million. I looked at all the salaries and salaries of the top leaders of 96 central enterprises, and all of them did not exceed 1 million. The highest salary is the chairman of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), with an annual salary of 960,800 yuan. Everything else is below that. This means that the salary of the top leaders of so many vice-ministerial-level central enterprises does not meet the standard of 1 million annual salary, which is really a bit unbelievable. If you want to think about it, the top leaders, including Sinopec and CNOOC, are all vice-ministerial-level positions, and their status is very high. Second, Sinopec, PetroChina, State Grid, China Merchants Group and other central enterprises are all big profit-makers, profit contributors, and the main force in paying treasury revenues.
In the case of PetroChina, the net profit in 2022 reached a staggering 149.4 billion yuan. Such profitability should be a spike in a number of companies, not to mention more than 100%, at least more than 99% of the enterprises in China. As far as Huawei, which is familiar to the public, is concerned, the net profit for the whole year of 2022 will only achieve 35.6 billion yuan. There is also Alibaba, the first brother of Chinese e-commerce, with a net profit of 47 billion yuan in 2022. and Lenovo, where executive salaries are in the hundreds of millions at every turn, and the net profit in 2022 will be 12.8 billion. Therefore, the profitability of PetroChina is not a second kill for many companies. However, the salary of PetroChina's top leaders is only 952,900 yuan per year, which is far lower than the executive salary of the above-mentioned Huawei, Alibaba, Lenovo and other enterprises, and even lower than the executive salary standard of private enterprises of general scale. This is the first incredible.
The second incredible thing is that there are still the top leaders of central enterprises, and the salary payable is only more than 100,000. According to the salary disclosure, the annual salary payable by the top leader of the China Coal Geology Administration is 143,700 yuan. It was a real shock to see that number at the time. Isn't the salary of more than 100,000 yuan about the same as the salary of ordinary people? With this question in mind, I took a closer look and found a problem. It was this top leader who only took office in September 2022. This means that only 3 months' salaries should have been calculated. If it is converted into a full-year salary of more than 500,000 according to this standard. This kind of salary is actually not too high. Many of the company's middle managers are beyond this level.
Therefore, everyone is surprised to see the salaries of the senior managers of the 96 central enterprises managed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission!
