The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Return to Panshan Machinery Factory.

It took a day to check and repair the weapons and equipment that had been accumulated during this period so that they could be put into the warehouse.

Then Liu Tao dealt with some things that needed to be dealt with by him.

After the reform, the things that needed to be dealt with by him were greatly reduced.

Unlike before, he had a lot of affairs to deal with.

Military affairs were all sent to Zhao Guoping, and civilian affairs were sent to Xue Yunpeng.

Only when the two of them could not decide would they come to Liu Tao for processing.

And often, unless it was an urgent matter, they would go to the party group meeting, discuss it intensively, and then make a decision.

Although it is still a bit chaotic overall because of the reform, everyone is slowly adapting, which is much better than the situation at the beginning of the reform.

This also gives Liu Tao more time to do more meaningful things.

For example, produce more CNC machine tools, more three-axis CNC machine tools, four-axis CNC machine tools and more five-axis machining centers!

For such a five-axis machining center, as long as Liu Tao is willing, the Soviets are willing to bid 5 million US dollars, or even 10 million US dollars, to buy a five-axis machining center.

Of course, Liu Tao will not export the five-axis machining center.

Especially the Soviet Union!

The polar bear is strong enough now, and its military strength is unrivaled in the world.

If he gets a five-axis machining center, then no one will be able to find the polar bear's nuclear submarine.

This thing still needs to be classified as a national strategic material for control. It's fine to use it yourself, but it must not be exported.

Unless the price offered is irresistible.

On this day, the footsteps of the Spring Festival were clearly audible.

Liu Tao convened a party group meeting.

A total of nine people attended the meeting, and Liu Tao personally presided over the meeting.

The entire party group meeting lasted a full day before all the topics were closed.

Liu Tao had just returned to the office when he saw Zhao Guoping coming with a report in his hand, hesitating a little.

"Comrade Zhao Guoping, is there something wrong?" Liu Tao asked.

Since being entrusted with the important task of managing the Southwest China Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, Zhao Guoping has become a busy man. He is usually so busy that he can hardly be seen.

He has to go to the combined brigade, go to various military factories, and then deal with things.

However, this is how people's leadership is trained.

When he can manage the scope of his jurisdiction in an orderly manner and do things well by managing people, then Zhao Guoping's leadership will definitely be much better than it is now.

Zhao Guoping said a little embarrassedly: "General Manager, I want to take three days off. My wife is about to give birth in the next two days."

Liu Tao was stunned, then laughed and said, "It should be, it should be, the leader is also a person, and there are family matters to deal with. I approve this leave."

"Congratulations in advance, your status has been upgraded!" Liu Tao congratulated Zhao Guoping.

Calculating the time, Zhao Guoping's wife is indeed about to give birth at this time.

Then, Liu Tao took Zhao Guoping's report, signed his name on it, and approved Zhao Guoping's vacation.

And not three days, but seven days of vacation for Zhao Guoping.

The Spring Festival is coming, and it is just right to take a vacation together, so that Zhao Guoping can have a good rest and spend time with his family.

After Zhao Guoping left, Liu Tao shook his head slightly, talked to his secretary, and then went to the tank production area.

With the completion and commissioning of other factories, the production and manufacturing of guns no longer needs this place.

This place has officially become a tank production and manufacturing factory.

Liu Tao began to participate in the production of tanks, because as long as he participated in the production, he could not only get considerable upgrade points, but also be regarded as a tank producer. He could repair the defects of the tank by accumulating experience while driving the tank.

Now there are no major problems in the production of tank diesel engines, and there are no major problems in armor.

The more existing problems are tank guns and the fire control system, including welding.

There will be no problems with the welding technology of the eighth-level workers, but other welders may not be.

The tank manufacturing plant implements four shifts of 24 hours a day, and each shift works for six hours.

Some of the original workers have been transferred to the tank production and manufacturing base in Shancheng, and some are workers transferred from outside.

This has caused a decline in production quality during this period.

This is also a headache for Liu Tao.

Workers, there are now a large number of Chinese workers, exceeding 400 million.

But in fact, most workers have average technical levels and can only engage in low-end industrial processing and manufacturing.

Eighth-level workers are already rare technical talents in various industries.

This is also the highest wage standard for workers.

The wage standard of an eighth-level worker is on par with the standard of a county-level department.

Although Panshan Machinery Factory has also trained a group of eighth-level workers, there is no doubt that the number of eighth-level workers is still too small.

If there are 2,000 eighth-level workers and ninth-level workers, Liu Tao doesn't have to worry!

It's just that it's not easy to train eighth-level workers, not to mention the ninth-level workers set by Panshan Machinery Factory itself. Even now, the number of ninth-level workers who can meet the standards of Panshan Machinery Factory is pitifully small.

And the salary of each ninth-level worker is at the same level as the deputy general manager.

Outside, other state-owned factories implemented the eight-grade worker system.

In Panshan Machinery Factory, one more level is added on the basis of the eighth-level worker, and the highest level is the ninth-level worker.

All the workers who were previously merged into Panshan Machinery Factory were re-evaluated and graded. Maybe they were eighth-level workers in the original factory, but after re-evaluation at Panshan Machinery Factory, they were seventh-level workers or even sixth-level workers.

Those who were rated as ninth-level workers by Liu Tao, in Liu Tao's view, are the most precious wealth of the country, and they are truly skilled.

There are only a dozen ninth-level workers in the entire Panshan Group, and each of them is a benchmark figure of the group, highly respected and respected.

In addition to participating in the production of tanks, Liu Tao also began to prepare for his Spring Festival vacation.

After all, there are not many days left before the Spring Festival.

He has to arrange everything so that he can spend the Spring Festival in Beijing peacefully.

Even his second sister Liu Honglei was preparing to return to Beijing three days ago.

This time they will stay in Beijing for a total of eight days. Of course, they will take a plane back and forth, otherwise it will take six days and six nights just to go back and forth.

That night, when Liu Tao was about to get off work, his secretary told him that Zhao Guoping's wife had just given birth to a baby boy in the early morning.

Liu Tao asked his secretary to buy some fruits for him tomorrow, because he was going to visit Zhao Guoping and his wife at Panshan Hospital tomorrow.

The secretary quickly wrote it down. As Liu Tao's secretary, these were all things he needed to do.

Liu Tao now has many more secretaries than before, including a secretary-general and a personal secretary. The secretary-general is responsible for coordinating and arranging his schedule, document processing, meeting arrangements, etc. The personal secretary is responsible for coordinating and arranging people to clean his place, and regularly arranging for him to go to Panshan Hospital for physical examinations, etc.

In addition, there are also several assistant secretaries, such as financial secretaries.
