China Tobacco Signs
Second, China Tobacco is the only unit that integrates government and enterprise (there was the Ministry of Railways before), that is, China Tobacco Corporation and State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau are two brands, and the director of State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau is also the general manager of China Tobacco Corporation. At the same time, China Tobacco is also the only industry in China that has established the state monopoly position through legislation, that is, administrative monopoly.
3. There are 33 provincial bureaus (companies), 17 provincial industrial companies, 102 cigarette industrial enterprises, 446 local bureaus (companies), more than 2,280 county bureaus (branches and marketing departments), more than 90 professional enterprises and institutions, and the total number of employees is 5 10000.
4. At present, China's tobacco business model is still unified management at the level of the General Administration, and provincial bureaus are divided into industrial enterprises and commercial enterprises. This is the biggest event during the term of the last tobacco director Jiang Chengkang, that is, the "industrial and commercial separation" of the tobacco industry since 20 13.
Before the separation of industry and commerce began, there was an episode: on February 20, 2003, CCTV's economy broadcast a program involving the tobacco industry for half an hour. The program investigated the tobacco markets in Hunan and Hubei provinces at that time, and thought that the "state monopoly" of tobacco actually became a "local monopoly": Hubei tobacco could not be bought in Hunan, and it was a relatively common phenomenon.
In fact, before the broadcast of the program, the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau had made specific arrangements to break the regional blockade and promote the reform of the industrial and commercial management system. At that time, there were about 100 cigarette manufacturers and 1000 cigarette brands in China, but most of them could only be sold in this province or region. Local protectionism and regional blockade have greatly restricted the circulation and development of the national cigarette market, and also caused rampant cigarette smuggling.
