"That's a bit of a stretch. You say the Houseman Family hasn't achieved anything economically, but Jeanette Houseman is clearly a senior executive at a state-owned enterprise. Doesn't that count?"
Aurelius Hughes retorted.
Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "It doesn't count. State-owned enterprises use national resources; they aren't private enterprises. Moreover, as the current trend continues, monopolies of state-owned enterprises will certainly be broken in the future. Even some state-owned enterprises will move towards shareholding reforms. Take Apex Group, for example. Although Koryn City State-Owned Assets Commission holds the major share, it's already a completely market-oriented enterprise. Bennett Kane isn't a career official, yet he's still the primary decision-maker for Apex Group. I wonder if Secretary Hughes understands my point?"
"That makes a lot of sense. The future development of state-owned enterprises will be dominated by the market."
