    Introduction: soybeans should pay for "road money" and railway "direction fee" Since the beginning of winter, the Northeast Railway Transportation has entered the peak season, and agricultural products such as soybeans need to be transported to the southern sales area by railway However, when the reporter interviewed in Dalian, Jiamusi and other places, the local government, processing enterprises and some shippers reported to the reporter one after another that it is difficult to get the plan of carriage for transporting soybeans without paying benefits to some railway personnel As a result, soybeans and soybean meal in the production area are overstocked in the warehouse and cannot be transported out, which not only brings serious economic losses to farmers and enterprises, but also increases soybeans The cost reduces the competitiveness of domestic soybean in the market Umz benefit fee is called "direction fee" In the winter of umz, a grease processing enterprise in Dalian, the manager of the purchasing department told the reporter with distress that their company is close to the main production area and has used domestic soybeans for many years, but in the future, they may use more imported soybeans Because the cost of the railway car is too high, the enterprise can't afford to ask for the benefit fee publicly The company has provided a list of single vehicle soybean railway transportation costs from Jiamusi to Dalian, which includes: 800 yuan for direction, 120 yuan for plant quarantine, 420 yuan for electrified railway, 300 yuan for short storage, 360 yuan for market transaction, 6392.12 yuan for railway freight, 190.30 yuan for vehicle service, 120 yuan for price adjustment fund, 120 yuan for freight and miscellaneous charges, 30 yuan for road crossing, 360 yuan for insurance , 30 yuan for weighing, 262 yuan for network card, 300 yuan for escort, 420 yuan for loading and unloading, 600 yuan for packing, 240 yuan for platform, totaling more than 11000 yuan Umz, according to a person familiar with the matter, the railway used to call approval of transportation plans confirmation of direction, and later people called the gift money for carts "direction fee", which has been banned for many years "Transportation of soybeans also requires benefits Domestic soybeans are not competitive." The head of an oil company said angrily He told reporters that under normal circumstances, a car would cost about 50 yuan to the railway, but this time the car was nervous, which had risen to 800 yuan, but only 50 yuan to the railway, and others fell into the personal pocket Since the start of soybean purchase, their company has sent 900 vehicles of soybeans, with more than 700000 yuan only for the benefit fee, with an average cost increase of 13 yuan per ton of soybeans In his opinion, in fact, there are unreasonable fees for railway transportation, such as freight and miscellaneous fees, insurance fees, weighing fees, rope and network card fees, and escort fees However, we all dare not to be angry, and southern customers are more reluctant to use northeast soybeans Umz reporter learned from the freight branch of Jiamusi railway branch that 13 items, including freight, transfer operation cost and electrified railway cost, are needed to ship a train of soybeans from Jixian County of Jiamusi city to Dalian station, which is more than 1000 yuan less than the cost list provided by the enterprise When the reporter asked if there was a "direction fee", one of the responsible comrades of the freight Department said that the railway had never collected a "direction fee", even if there was also a personal pocket Umz 800 yuan has become the most famous soybean distribution center in the hinterland of Sanjiang Plain Reporters came here to track and interview the "direction fee" What they saw and heard was shocking In order to find out the inside story of the difficulty in applying for the car, the reporter was introduced as a grain dealer from Beijing, and got in touch with a man with a good command and nickname "little Guangdong" On the phone, little Guangdong seemed very alert After learning about our situation in detail, he promised to wait for him at the transportation control room of fuytun station at 7 p.m The reporter arrived at the station on time, but he did not see him after waiting for more than an hour in the cold wind of more than - 20 degrees below zero The next day, the reporter came to the station, ready to play the role of the applicant directly By this time, one of the station's offices was full of people who came to plan the car One person who was obviously familiar with the place filled in the plan and said, "the car that has entered the customs these days is tense again It takes a lot of effort to get a car." A railway worker went on to say, "your road is so wild, you can still be baffled by this." Umz a middle-aged man who finished the project said goodbye to the railway staff warmly When he came out of the office, the reporter rushed forward to talk to him When he heard that we were worried about the car and were going to pay 800 yuan for the car, he said that he could help, but he said: "800 yuan has long been the old emperor's calendar The lowest price in the market these days is 1000 yuan It's impossible to do anything below this price." The reporter asked, "can it be cheaper?" He said: "you don't think it's enough It's good if you can do it The high price is 1500 yuan per car." Later, the reporter found a staff on duty in the freight room of the station and asked, "is it here to apply for the car? How long will it take? " "Is there a plan?" he asked Hearing that we didn't even have a plan, he said, "what can I apply for without a plan?" At this time, a staff member sitting opposite took over the conversation He kindly pointed to the reporter and said, "if you don't find someone, you won't have one at the end of the month." Reporter asked: "if you send three or four truck soybean, how much 'direction fee' do you have to pay?" He replied: "it is more difficult to get out of Harbin Bureau Generally, it needs at least 3000 yuan." He thought for a while and said, "you have to know who to pay for You can see that the sub bureau is looking for someone It's really not good You can also get the car with the railway joint venture "It's easy to buy beans, but it's hard to transport them." in the main soybean producing areas, it's an open secret that people pay a premium for each truck It's very common to talk about this However, many enterprises have been complaining about this They say that it's easy to buy beans and hard to ship them out At a soybean purchasing site in Youyi County, Heilongjiang Province, the warehouse lined with hundreds of tons of newly purchased soybeans was covered with thick dust A staff member surnamed Ge said anxiously, "it's too hard to ask for the car now We can't do it in a hurry It's said that people's transportation tasks have been completed all year round Who cares if your beans can be transported out But it depends on how much money you give, whether it matters or not " Zhang Hui, chairman of umz Heilongjiang Dongji oil company, told reporters that the soybean meal market is promising recently, but the soybean meal produced can only be overstocked in the warehouse because the car is not available, so the enterprise has stopped production for 16 days What's more terrible is that the contract signed by the enterprise can't be fulfilled, so it can only watch the market lose Not long ago, they processed 700 tons of soybean meal according to the contract At that time, the price per ton was 1470 yuan After half a month, they had a plan for the carriage The price per ton had become 1369 yuan They lost more than 70000 yuan No one else would do business Umz local government officials and managers of processing enterprises are very angry about this They reported that the monopoly operation mode of "one company, no other branch" is the root of various disadvantages of the railway sector, "iron boss" awareness has not changed, and when the supply and demand relationship is tense, it is easy to cause rent-seeking opportunities At the same time, the unreasonable evaluation mechanism of the railway department has artificially increased the transportation capacity tension Many railway bureaus and sub bureaus have completed the transportation tasks of the whole year, and the tasks that will be pressed down next year will be heavier if they do more The transportation bottleneck makes the domestic soybean defeated the umz A boss of an oil and fat enterprise in Dalian calculated a sum of account for the reporter: the transportation distance of soybeans from the Gulf of Mexico to Dalian is more than 10000 nautical miles, and the average cost per kilogram is 0.08 yuan, while the transportation distance of soybeans from Jiamusi to Dalian in China is 1500 kilometers, and the total cost is 0.09 yuan "We know that the railway freight rate is higher than the sea freight rate," said a general manager of the long-term operation of domestic soybeans with deep feelings "But the American soybeans in other countries also need to be transported by rail or water before they can go out to sea, and there must be a burden of expenses How can the soybean transportation cost of other people be lower than our soybeans? It's hard to understand." Umz industry insiders generally reflect that the pattern of "North soybean South transportation" of domestic soybeans has been gradually broken in recent years, and a large number of imported soybeans are used by oil processing enterprises in the south, an important reason is the low transportation cost Many leaders of oil and fat enterprises pointed out that the distance advantage of domestic soybeans has become a disadvantage before they go out of their homes after they are blocked and exploited by railway, which should be paid great attention by the state, otherwise, this link alone will not be able to compete with imported soybeans Umz (author:) to feed Weibo to:
