As we all know, both the Government Procurement Law and the Bidding Law are related laws formulated mainly to protect the national and social interests.
Before the birth of the "two laws", with the start of bidding activities and government procurement pilot activities in China, a group of journalists bravely devoted themselves to correctly understanding and publicizing the party's principles and policies and made positive contributions to promoting China's procurement bidding work.
The reason why the "Hefei air-conditioning incident" has become an influential event in the country is that journalists have contributed a lot.
On June 6, 2006 165438+ 10/6, Hefei government cultural new area development and investment co., ltd (hereinafter referred to as "newly-opened company") issued an illegal tender announcement; Domestic enterprises such as Hefei Gree demanded to refuse to bid; Complain to Anhui Business Daily; The reporter quickly conducted a multi-party study; On the 20th, in case of doubt, the above bidding ended ahead of schedule. 2 1, Anhui Business Daily published an article entitled "Bidding for Air Conditioning of Hefei Land and Resources Bureau Complex Building". The article was reprinted by major media. As a result, the mayor of Hefei severely criticized the company and was forced to issue a correction announcement.
In the author's impression, it may not be the first time or the second time that a reporter tracked and reported the domestic government procurement bidding event in such a timely manner. (The other time was in 2004 when the Beijing Municipal Government purchased software. )
There is also an article written by a reporter, which shows his personal views on this matter. I feel the same way:
Second, this reporter from Anhui Business Daily has a great sense of social responsibility. Although I have never met a bidder who complained, there must be many journalists who have met them, but few people can find out clearly and make a clear report. As can be seen from the article, he not only vividly described the facts, but also conducted various investigations. It took him a lot of effort to pull out the words of the relevant personnel, investigate the surrounding industries, and so on. Moreover, as a reporter of the local party newspaper, I can point out the problems of local government departments by name, which shows my courage.
Third, the leaders of Anhui Business Daily made correct decisions. It takes a long time to write and publish a report. Supervision by public opinion is not a simple matter. Moreover, this report was published in a timely manner, and it took a long time (not a small piece of tofu), which shows that the leaders at all levels of the Business Daily also have vision and a considerable sense of justice. Moreover, Anhui Business Daily followed this matter and made a very weighty comment.
(Quoted from "Some Thoughts from the Bidding Event of Hefei Air Conditioning", China Purchasing and Bidding Network, 2006,165438+123 October. )
Unlike the "Monday morning quarterback" report that people usually see, this article by Anhui Business Daily reporter is really another "news"! Thinking of this, I can't help but express my high respect to the reporters and the editors of Anhui Business Daily!
However, on the other hand, the author also has to sincerely point out that this article also has some one-sidedness and inappropriateness.
First of all, the phrase "government procurement prohibits domestic air conditioners" is not very accurate or scientific.
Especially at the back of the article, an appendix was added to explain the news that Gree Group recently invested heavily in building an air conditioning production base with an annual output of 3 million units in Hefei. It is easy for ordinary people to think of the connection here without paying attention. Actually, there are 3 million production lines for household air conditioners.
The bidding contents put forward in Hefei bidding announcement are "screw chiller" of central air conditioning, etc. , and we usually say that the concept of "air conditioning" is still different. People often say that "household air conditioners" mostly refer to split and cabinet air conditioners used in families; A few people use "household air conditioning" or "household central air conditioning", which is also a relatively simple central air conditioning system.
Real "central air conditioning system" is mostly used in large industrial or commercial occasions, such as hotels, restaurants, department stores, airports, gymnasiums and so on. , while the industrial ones are more diverse: textile mills (including technical requirements for accurate adjustment of temperature and humidity); Synthetic fiber side-blowing and ring-blowing air conditioners (process requirements); Microelectronics, pharmacy and other occasions (especially those with cleanliness requirements such as anti-static and dust removal). Such an air conditioning system, the key equipment inside (refrigeration unit; Control devices, etc. ) It is very different from the daily household air conditioner.
Its key equipment refrigerator also includes lithium bromide absorption refrigerator, centrifugal chiller and screw chiller. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. In the past, the high-end refrigerator market in China was almost completely occupied by American and Japanese manufacturers, mainly Trane, Carrier, York, Dunham Bush, Maxwell and Daikin, and Toshiba and Sanyo in Japan. In recent years, domestic refrigerator manufacturers have been catching up. At present, in addition to Haier's centrifugal and multi-connected central air-conditioning units winning the bid for Beijing Olympic Games for many times (14 times), Daikin, a manufacturer who has undertaken Olympic projects in other countries for many times, has not won the bid this time, and Gree's centrifugal and ultra-low temperature digital multi-connected units have reached the international advanced level. Yantai ice wheel screw chiller has been used in the office buildings of Shanghai Municipal Government (50,000 square meters) and Yantai Municipal Government (30,000 square meters).
The new high-efficiency screw refrigeration compressor with ice wheel is the only screw compressor with independent intellectual property rights in China, which is newly designed and developed. Tested by national authoritative testing institutions, the refrigeration efficiency is 6.7% higher than that of similar products at home and abroad, and the noise is reduced by 5 ~ 10 dB (a), reaching the international advanced level of similar products. Its successful development has made Ice Wheel Company the only base in the world that can produce fully enclosed, semi-enclosed and open series screw compressors, which indicates that China has become the sixth country in the world with the ability to independently research and develop screw compressors.

We should treat this problem scientifically and dialectically: on the one hand, we should vigorously publicize the progress and achievements of domestic brands, encourage people from leaders at all levels to designers and other engineering and technical personnel to love and use national brands proudly, and seriously criticize and condemn the idea of "worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things"; On the other hand, we should also face up to the domestic gap, do not "take the lead and close our doors", and introduce advanced technology and equipment from abroad appropriately.
In the condemnation of "banning the sale of household air conditioners" in Hefei, people rarely hear the voices of professional technicians and domestic and foreign air conditioner manufacturers. Why? Are they afraid of expressing different opinions and being labeled as "worshipping foreign things and admiring foreign things"?
On a network, the author saw a post:
Many reports about this matter are untrue. I am an insider, and I know something about it. I don't like what the newspaper says. In fact, bidding is the responsibility of the government district, and has nothing to do with the municipal government procurement center. Their bidding is domestic, so the government dare not take it, but the information must be published on the website of Hefei government procurement center, which is the city's mandatory information publishing website.
That's not what Wang Xiaobing said. He was misinterpreted by the newspaper.
What I don't understand is that when the mayor denounced the incident and other leaders expressed their "thanks" to the media supervision, why did the reporters stop following the report and let reporters from other newspapers do it? Our reporter later reported the correction news and the historical experience of Hefei's "centralized procurement organization norms", and there was no information.
Browse the websites of Hefei Municipal Government Procurement Center, Hefei Bidding Center (June 2006165438+1October1suspended) and the new government cultural district. I didn't see any news except the "correction announcement", including the mayor's severe criticism and welcoming media supervision (I wonder if the author ignored it and wasn't careful enough? )。 It seems that, perhaps, behind the unification of government procurement and bidding market, various "public opinions" have also been unified. Perhaps, it seems more accurate to use the word "ban" here to explain the attitude of the website towards criticism, including the mayor's severe criticism.
I don't know what to say.
In fact, if there are problems, it is not terrible to make mistakes; Seriously sum up experience, learn lessons and correct them later. The more taboo, the more people feel that there must be a mystery.
I hope that in the future, our newspapers and journalists will continue to carry forward the fine style embodied here and assume more social responsibilities; At the same time, better grasp the relevant scientific and technological knowledge and make the report more accurate and scientific!
People still have a long way to go before the media can become a powerful supervisory force.
