The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization (hereinafter referred to as the "Decision") adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasizes the construction of a high-level socialist market economic system. "We must give better play to the role of the market mechanism and create a fairer and more dynamic market environment" and "deepen the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, and improve the management and supervision system and mechanism". The important exposition of the plenary session on building a high-level socialist market economy system has provided important guidance and fundamental guidance for Foshan to further deepen the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, vigorously develop the economy under various ownership systems, and continue to promote the entrepreneurial spirit.
In the past two years since the establishment of Foshan's eight municipal enterprise groups, the city has strengthened the reform of key areas and key links of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, and has made significant progress in industrial layout, structural adjustment, scale strength, profitability and other aspects, but there is still a gap compared with the advanced cities in the province. At present, promoting the high-quality development of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises in our city is not only the basic requirement for thoroughly implementing the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but also the urgent need to practice the need to adhere to high-quality development as the last word in the new era.

In the face of the further comprehensive deepening of the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, the survey found that the main problems existing in state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises in our city are as follows: First, the industrial innovation guidance of state-owned enterprises is insufficient, and the positioning of "leading" industries needs to be improved urgently. For a long time, most of the city's state-owned assets are mainly concentrated in the fields of urban infrastructure and public services, mainly to serve the people's livelihood in a single way, and the state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities adhere to the people's livelihood security and industrial development of equal attention, and in emerging industries and frontier areas ahead of the layout, the city's state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises in emerging industries in the leading role of radiation and large-scale resource integration and coordination ability is low. Second, the "self-hematopoiesis" function of local public welfare state-owned enterprises is weak. Due to the sharp fluctuations in the domestic and foreign economies in recent years and the impact of three years of epidemic prevention and control, the pressure on fiscal expenditure of governments at all levels in our city has gradually increased, resulting in a weakening of support for local public welfare state-owned enterprises. Third, after the separation of state-owned assets budget rights and management rights, supervision will again show "multi-dragon water control", and the preservation and appreciation of local state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises need to be strengthened. Since the central government has fully implemented the state-owned capital operating budget management system, governments at all levels in our city have incorporated local state-owned assets into the annual public budget management of local financial departments, which is conducive to the efficient allocation of financial resources and the realization of public budget goals, but it has also led to the situation of state-owned enterprise supervision "multi-dragon water control" has reappeared, affecting the preservation and appreciation of state-owned assets in our city. Fourth, there is confusion between the boundary between state-owned assets supervision and enterprise management, and the regulatory framework needs to be further reshaped and optimized. Based on the work functions of the city's state-owned assets regulatory agencies, to further clarify the boundaries between the city's state-owned assets supervision and state-owned enterprise management, it is necessary to systematically optimize and adjust the current regulatory framework of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises in our city.
Based on the theme of the times of "classification reform and good management of capital" of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, further deepening the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises in our city needs to make efforts from the following aspects: First, strengthen the strategic positioning of the "three sexes" of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises in our city and enhance the leading force of industrial innovation. Based on the principle of "selecting needs, selecting weights, and selecting the best", we will optimize the methods and methods for the selection and introduction of innovative industrial projects, and cooperate with first-class third-party professional institutions at home and abroad to carry out one-to-one and point-to-point feasibility studies and evaluations of industrial projects, so as to ensure that the work of key industrial projects in our city is accurate, efficient, reasonable and standardized. The second is to support public welfare state-owned enterprises to actively explore integrated business models, actively promote the transformation of public welfare state-owned enterprises with commercial application scenarios into industrial investment groups, build a comprehensive industrial investment group structure integrating public welfare main business, industrial investment and financing, and asset management and operation, and actively explore and expand the "listed company +" model. The third is to strengthen the strategic layout and budget co-ordination of the local state-owned assets supervision department, and it is recommended that the municipal SASAC establish an independent account book to fully grasp the city's operating state-owned capital revenue and expenditure and assets and liabilities, and first explore the state-owned assets operating budget independent of the public budget, and reasonably set the proportion of the state-owned assets budget transferred to the general public budget by stratification and classification, and dilute the financial connection between state-owned enterprises and finance. Fourth, we should improve and improve the three-tier state-owned assets management system of "supervision-investment-operation", give full play to the role of Foshan local state-owned assets investment and operation companies and large industrial holding groups as the representatives of investors, control the board of directors of operating entities through the status of controlling shareholders, recommend directors to enterprises in strict accordance with the shareholders' rights and legal procedures stipulated in the articles of association, and participate in the selection and appointment of senior executives. For for-profit state-owned enterprise executives, it is necessary to improve the market-oriented selection and recruitment and market-oriented salary incentive system, and continuously improve the attractiveness and competitiveness of state-owned enterprises in our city.
