On this day, 34 years ago, on January 25, 1991 (December 10, 1990, the lunar calendar), 80% of state-owned enterprises across the country completed the first round of contracting contracts as scheduled. On January 25, 1991, the People's Daily reported that 80% of state-owned enterprises across the country had completed the first round of contracting contracts as scheduled. During the first round of contracting by state-owned enterprises that began in 1987, the state's fiscal revenue increased by more than 20 billion yuan on average every year, 90% of which was provided by contracting enterprises. At present, various regions have entered the second round of contracting. In accordance with the policy of "large stability and small adjustment", the practice of using the average of the previous round of contracting as the contract base or the average of previous years has been changed, and flexible and diverse methods such as the fund utilization rate calculation method, the benefit average method, and the base rolling method have been adopted to determine the contract base, which not only ensures national fiscal revenue, but also helps revitalize enterprises. In order to change the short-term behavior of contractors, the new contract documents have clarified the benefit indicators based on profit, the enterprise stamina indicators based on technological transformation, and the enterprise management indicators based on improving the quality of the enterprise, further strengthening the enterprise's constraints mechanism. In response to the contradiction between operators and employees, the system of democratic employee evaluation, distribution disclosure and democratic review has been improved, and a "double guarantee contract" has been reached in which operators and employee representatives supervise and encourage each other, forming a "community of interests" for joint efforts to share risks, benefit sharing, and joint efforts. There are also some cities that have begun to carry out pilot projects of "tax and profit diversion and after-tax contracting".
