Promote the reform of the Taiwan Railway Iron and Steel Man is destined to take over

In response to the corporatization of Taiwan Railways, Minister of Communications Wang Guocai said in an exclusive interview with this newspaper that the revision of the law will open up the two lines of Taiwan Railway’s asset activation and railway tourism, so that the operation of Taiwan Railway’s assets will no longer be restricted by local governments.

In 2016, Wang Guocai joined the Ministry of Communications as the Deputy Minister of State Affairs. His frank personality and excellent execution ability made him have a good relationship with the outside world. Several major crises were resolved by him. . Wang Guocai did not shy away from saying that he had thought “maybe me” when important positions were vacated several times. He took over as Minister of Transport at the worst time last year. He joked that it was fate and that he was destined to promote the completion of the Taiwan Railway Corporation.

During his tenure as political secretary, Wang Guocai served as ministers He Chendan, Wu Hongmou and Lin Jialong. He acted as the minister of transportation for a time, and also acted as the chairman of Chunghwa Post, Yuanshan Hotel, Taiwan Port Company, etc., so he was called “tool man”. “. In other major incidents, such as the crash of Puyuma in 2018 and the strike of pilots of China Airlines in 2019, the Ministry of Communications dispatched Wang Guocai to deal with the followingmath, and was upgraded to be named “Iron Man”.

He believes that his advantage is that he is good at focusing on key points and simplifying problems, such as handling the strike of pilots at China Airlines, and grasping the key demands of labor and management and promoting consensus. Recently, when dealing with the follow-up of the Taroko, it is necessary to rely on the temperature to gain the trust of the family members, so that we can work together for the reform.

In 2014, the Kaohsiung City Bus Management Office suffered serious losses. After the company was transformed into the current Hong Kong Passenger Transport, Wang Guocai was the head of Kaohsiung City Transportation Director in 2011. He said with a smile that the transformation of the Taiwan Railway Company is like history repeating itself.

Compared with the general government officials talking regarding dodging the change of seats, Wang Guocai recalled the process of taking over as minister, and once once more showed a frank temperament. He said that when it comes to the Minister of State, it is inevitable that he will want to go further. In the past two ministerial vacancies, he has been named, making him feel “would it really be me?”, but he still chose someone else.

He also acted as the chairman of Chunghwa Post twice. He likes to get along with the grassroots. Finally, he became interested in acting as an agent. After the Korean strike in 2020, he was named to act as the mayor of Kaohsiung. “It seems that the talks are almost the same, and I am ready.” In the end, it was handed over to others.

Wang Guocai took over as Minister of Transport during the Taroko accident and the turmoil of the Taiwan Railway. At first, he felt that he took office at the worst time, but then he thought that it was fate. Tell him, “The script of life has already been written, but you can’t peek at it!” Promoting the reform of the Taiwan Railway and completing the corporatization of the Taiwan Railway is an important political test for this “Iron Man”.
